Good morning. DS14 is back to school. Early mornings again.

Dinner was nice at MILs. Dh did have to tell her to stop though about me and my not eating or drinking. She kept offering all kinds of nonsense stuff. I had 2 shrimp, a tablespoon size of tilapia and a deviled egg. That's about it for me to eat at one time.

I need to move more and eat less and some kind of motivation.....Apart from hiring someone to nag me every hour to get off my tukus and move, this is the best I can do. I have felt a bit discouraged with myself and my efforts as of late.

Good for you. That's the one I wanted but dh got me an omron pedometer. It also plugs in and tracks all sorts of stuff. I haven't even really looked at it yet. Anything that will motivate is a winner in my book.

Cut it with coffee or water. Yes, it's more to drink but you'll still get your protein in and won't waste it.

one thing the xmas club once it is in you can't get it out until time so that is ok! if i have the cash in a stash here at home for the prop tax do you think i could be strong enough NOT to get in it in an emergency??

Very cool.

To lose both of your parents in the same day would be horrible. They were both in their 60's.

Oh no, so sorry.

Hope he buys the proper brands of stuff.

Back to work tomorrow! Won't be fixing my work lunch tomorrow because it's a teacher waiver day and we'll have a long lunch break. My friends from work and I go to a restaurant on those days. Probably Olive Garden, their salad is simply scrumptious.....

As is their bread sticks.

You got a lot accomplished.

That lunch is a great way to start back to work.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair

LOVE THIS.

Sue you are much nicer than I was waking up the children!

Kcmama, I am sorry your girls didn't like their scarves.

It is a chilly morning here in Buffalo. I just checked and we are going to get snow this weekend with a high of around 10. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

I go this morning at 10 for my mammogram. I guess it is time for me to start getting them every year anyway. Mike is going to Billings for a few days so it will just be me and the animals. Thank goodness I am feeling better so I can get some cleaning and organizing done!

Why have you not been going yearly? Just curious.

Well I am only 41. My doc told me I didn't need to start getting yearly till I was 45.

[chewiegand]

Talking to myself again. Sigh.

Oh, I forgot you were such a youngster. LOL

[chewiegand]

So in an effort to get all my protein in, today I made a new shake: cappucino mixed with milk and heated in the microwave. It is so sweet---bleck. I'm trying to get it down just so as not to waste it but I have to sip water in between each sip of it. Bleck!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad it was only a sample. Wouldn't buy this one.

What if you added a bit of salt to cut the sweet? I do that with frosting.

[kcmama]

I need to schedule one of those mammograms too. Got a card in the fall that it is time. Funny how sometimes it hurts more than others.Good luck, Lony!

That should keep me busy for awhile. The first weekend of January always has the BEST coupons and lots of them! I think it's to make up for the fact that half my stash expired on 12/31.

Good idea but I have no salt at work. I just finished it anyway. 30 grams of protein down. Woohoo. That's half of what I need for the day.

So I saw on the news that the tax junk is going to be late because congress has not even gotten the tax laws in place yet. What the heck?! I try to get mine done early with turbo tax so I can get that money in my bank account.

the things for the year we file on should be in place all ready it is probably the rules for 2013

Yes since the lump in in my arm pit. I should have the results mid week. I am sure it is nothing but a pimple.

They said it was for this year so...who knows.

[Lony]

I had to put a note on the mirror that says NO DEODORANT. Mike was cracking up. I told him I do it automatically so I need a reminder!
