Water still off...time for a break

Well, I got everything done that I can do with no water. Makes me frustrated, though, cuz I really wanted to get everything inside spiffed today so I can work outside tomorrow to get everything cleaned up so I can have a real Mom's Day off! Oh well. The pipes in my house are driving my dogs crazy...water's still off, but every so often there's these gurgling noises. Sets my little yapper off like crazy (he's a yorkie-poo, 6 lbs of awesome terror.)

Oh, Ing, hope you still get to go! Sounded like such a fun getaway...OneFit, I could never live that close to Chocolate town. Lordy, we drove past a Hershey candy factory on a road trip once...the "fumes"...thought I was gonna get high on the smell of warm chocolate!

Mary-I had plenty of patience-with other people's kids! It was easy...no matter what they did or how they behaved, I always knew they'd go home at the end of the day . My own kids, not so much I often WANTED to "send mine home", but nobody would come get 'em.

Kim-YIPPEE on the no-smoking anniversary. I know how good that is, cuz I'm a former smoker, too...my 3 year smoke-free was the week before Turkey Day. (I always blame at least 20 extra lbs. on the time I quit smoking...everyone sympathizes with that)

Shala-I must be messed up on my days (not the first time) thought you were on your class outing today?

Tommie
-that is so Karma on your BIL--the ultimate what goes around comes around. And talk about 'bad seeds'...his twin is also violent? Whoa. But Thank God your Dad put his foot down & wouldn't let Sis go. Your momma sounds like a wise woman too, with her head grounded & soul where it oughta be.

Well, I think I'll go run some errands since I can't do my dishes or finish cleaning my bathrooms...Later, Ladies

Still holdin onto that weight I gained from God knows where!!!!! This is after drinking my weight in water yesterday and workin in the yard and eating legal LC last night! Can't blame it on TOM as he has left town for good! The fritos are still in my car....

Kath
Awww Kathy...I hate to hear that about your DD!! But like you said...better to find out now than later!! And its hard to console her without putting your foot in your mouth!! Who knows...they may be back together tomorrow, then you have to eat any bad words you said about him!! Good luck.

Onefit, can't believe you live so close to where I was supposed to go be a tourist! It's funny, because I live in a tourist area. When the National Cherry Festival hits, by golly, I hole up and don't drive in to town for a week to stay away from the ^@%$ tourists who take all the parking and drive the wrong way on the one-ways!

Thanks for the well wishes...hopefully your good vibes will make the pharmacy staff situation work out. That or maybe I oughta ask Tommie's mom to send some bad mojo to "the quitter!"

Kimmy! Congrats on 3 years!!! I am almost halfway there (I quit on the Great American Smoke Out in 1996), and hope I am still strong when I get to the same point as you! Some days, I swear, I think "I gotta go grab a cigarette now," like it is a habit I DIDN'T give up so long ago. Takes a long time for that sort of "second nature" thing to go away!

Kim- glad you popped in to say HI!! Don't know much about prostate, sorry, but hope everything turns out okay. congrats on your smoking anniv. I have never smoked, my parents do though, so I'm constantly preachin' to them.

Kathy- Hope your DD will be okay, so hurtful, couldn't imagine how you must feel for her

Tommie- All can say is your MAMA knows how to PRAY
she needs to pray for Shala to get some gooood sleep!!!

okay gals - I need to get some work done. I'll ck in later

Hello all!!! We had lunch here at the hospital today for national nurses week. I thought it was weird to have it on fri all the regular nurses are off today and its just agency nursing. Anyway the had chopped bbq, baked beans, potato salad, and three different kinds of cake. You know all the bad stuff. I ate alittle too much and now i want to lay my head on my desk a take a little nap!

Tommie your buger story was just killing me. I laughed until my side hurt. Ask my fearless leader. When i start laughing she always says what has Tommie done now.

Let me tell you people about Tommie. She has more patients then i will ever have. You will call or go over to her house. Those boys are bouncing off the walls. Those two girls are just yip yapping and not to mention her DH is always talking plus he has the tv up so loud to hear it over the kids. I almost have a nervous break down before its over with. She is always so calm. I would be an alchoholic if i were her!!!

Shala i haven't slept good in months. I'm always dead to the world around 10 or 11. About 1230 or 1 i'm up every thirty mins the rest of the night. Or just wake up around 4 and not go back to sleep. DH wants to get us a new bed. He thinks that might be my problem. I think my problem is he trys to lay his 300lb a** on me and won't stop snoring!!!

The danish sounds great. Honesty, I am so looking forward to my oopsie turkey sandwich at lunch....the greatest thing that has ever happened to this WOE!!!!

Kathy: I am sorry for your daughter, but you are right it is better she found out now. Still, when your child is hurting (regardless of age) you die a million times!!

Kim: I am glad you are getting to the bottom of the health crisis. Any developments with the other situation? BTW: Congrats on the no smoking......one day I'll quit too!

Brandi: Are you legal today? Stay strong lady!!

I am down 5 lbs in 5 days......but don't get too excited, I ganined 9 lbs back so really I am still up 4 lbs!

Nope, made it without eggs. Here it is from my old post:

...made a strawberry cheesecake thick shake sans eggs. Pretty dam# good....could have been thicker to get the true Blizzard sensation but I am an ice cream ho' so good enough.

1/2 packet strawberry SF jello
1/4 cup or less hot water (enough to dissolve jello and splenda tabs)
2 Splenda tabs
3 caps French Vanilla DaVinci's .... blend all that for a bit
2 ounces cream cheese
10 ice cubes
2 T vanilla whey protein (this makes it healthier and adds thickness)
~ 2-3 ounces of cream .... beat the crap out of it (or the frappe into it )


The more cubes, the thicker, but I don't want to kill my blender. You can decrease the sweetener, or throw some stevia in, or whatever. Do it to taste. I like this sweet

Ooooo had a yummy lunch today - well, brunch or whatever! I've done this before LC but haven't had it in awhile - BLT salad! Had 2 cups of romaine lettuce with a cup of baby spring greens, 1/2 a tomato chopped, 4 slices of cooked bacon, a tablespoon of SF mayo and for mine I added a slice of WW toast cut into squares. YUM!!!

Kim .. congrats on your smoke free birthday. You remind me that mine is coming up too. I quit 3 years, 10 months, 1 week, 5 days and oh, 5 hours and 34 minutes ago! I have a program on my computer that counts it down to the second. Fortunately I went on a diet right before I quit, because I did put on some of the weight I lost!

Tommie, I have always said I want your mama on my side!!

Brandi and Jen, congrats!!!

Would ya'll send that weight loss fairy my way please? I've been retaining water for more than a week so I'm not expecting a loss on Monday.

Kathy, so sorry about your daughter gosh that must be hard with a daughter! I remember my son's first heartbreak by a girl and it about killed me. I can't imagine having a daughter. I always believe that everything happens for a reason and that this only means that the door has been opened for her to meet the RIGHT guy now.

Kim, I see commercials all the time for some medications to shrink an enlarged prostate so it must be fairly common. Thank GOD it wasn't anything serious. I think he'll have to get checked to watch it but other than that sounds like a good report!!!

Terie and Shala, I don't know why I've been having trouble sleeping except for that crap that happened on Monday. Ya think there could be a connection!!?? That just makes me even madder!!!!! I usually sleep great, like a rock - since taking that cal/mag supplement anyway - and when DH's snoring doesn't keep me up. Sometimes I nudge him so much that he finally gets up and goes to the couch!! Then I get the whole bed to myself!

Cathy, the lady next door to me has her two grandchildren all the time and they SHREEEEEKKKK like maniacs over there that it drives me up the wall!!! I never had to deal with that with my son thankfully, but like I always say... we know why God only gave me the one child!!!!
