Chewie.. what is white chocolate coffee?? is that creamer or coffee and is that the actual flavor.. I wished they would sell just white chocolate and not other ingredients in it.. like white chocolate raspberry, or white chocolate mocha creamer...


Deb.. Congrats to Steven hope he gets the part.... my son filled out a scholarship from Coca Cola.. the minute he pushed send it came back he said like 6 seconds later and he was rejected....whatever...

Oh man! for it to say rejected that fast it must have been a mistake on the form maybe?? when he is in a good mood tell him to resubmit it!
i think it would be a flavored coffee i have vanilla, pumpkin spice, and chocolate coffees i use HWC as my creamer i REALLY don't like the things labeled creamer

[debkeversole]

ok we are about to get ready to run down there i am taking my snuggie cause IDk how long i will be there in the cold! my yard is like lakeside property right now one HUGE puddle!

[crazyone]

what I have been doing is dropping a few white chocolate chips into my hot coffee.. but it doesn't melt very good.. and though I really need to stay away from it anyway. been making diet hot chocolate for breakfast instead of coffee...you know it's going to be in the 70's tomorrow and then after that it's going to the 80's.. talk about weather changes..

[debkeversole]

[crazyone]

Goodnight Christmas Star
Goodnight frosty air
Sigh…
Goodnight Christmas
And goodnight Lighthearted friends everywhere.

I feel tired, which means emotionally drained.. know what I mean?? I just want to sleep for the night... but I gotta throw a bra on soon and pick up the kid...also TOM is kicking my ass... boy oh boy he doesn't visit for a couple of months and now he is being mean....

What's for dinner???

[Lony]

Tacos I think.

[pansies]

First of all - thank all of you with that miserable cold weather for sending it on north - and not east. We've been holding in the 50's, so I can handle that. Now, what to do about the rest of the winter. Doesn't seem that long ago that we all were grouching about the heat. Even Melinda has been hit with the cold. Crazy weather.

Sue - wonderful pictures of your daughters..........such pretty gals. And you too. Love to see pictures of all you ladies. Little Eli is going to have some good ones concerning his fall from the pedestal - poor little guy - has to make room for a new little sister. I'm thinking that Eli gets lots of attention from you and your dh, that he isn't going to notice that much after all. You are right - last year you were so worried about ds and dil and it's all turned around. We're going through a bit of that now with ds that lives in Fl. It's always painful to watch our kids hurting - or doing dumb things. In my case though - I think it's for the best - it's been a rocky road for ds for a while now - and I think he's reached the end of his patience. We always worry about our kids - no matter their age. Motherhood is tough.
I'm in the same boat as you - trying to get back to 300.........really want to see that 290 so badly.

Lony - All I can think of is poor little Fred and freezing his lil paws. Not to mention his tummy - he's awfully short legged. We always had dogs that looked like Fred when I was growing up. Sorry to hear that you also did the gain - not lose diet.............but - as Sue said - you will be back to onederland quicker than I will see 300............Sorry to hear you dd has disappointed you too. Breaks your heart for those little grandbabies.

Eliza - You know I have a hard time getting my head around the cold in TX. I have a niece that lives in Austin - and all I ever hear is how hot it is in TX. You have really hit the ground running since the new year started with school activities. Did you ever get back to exercising in the mornings? You were doing so great - hope you have.

KC - thanks for the thoughts regarding my eye surgery. I will be so glad when it's done and I can get my new glasses. These drops are really kicking me in the tuckus. I have a real phobia about having my eyes messed with. f

Chewie - I have a sil - but she's not that bad. Good that you have distance between you. That's what I keep telling myself - mine is so self-absorbed. I do believe in karma - what goes around comes around. I was watching the Newtown kids this morning too - I sat her and bawled too. So sweet - just wanted to hug all of them......and those smiles - those beautiful babies.

Lucky - thanks for the tip on the beans - think I might just par-boil them - then cold rinse and put them in jar with hot liquid over them. Any idea just how long it might take for them to pickle? Thinking I might put this off till the first of the month though - want to get these eyes out of the way. Glad to hear that your dh did ok with his surgery too. And that you're back to driving your own car again.

Deb - Steven must be so excited to be trying out for the part. Good luck Steven. Hope you get it. Glad you got all your vehicles going too. I keep a sleeping bag in my car during the winter - just in case - never know with this crazy weather. Keep your snuggie handy. You feeling any better?

Mona - I'll be quiet - just in case you're sleeping. I never can keep your hours straight. Hope your hip is much better by now. What a scare you had with your bp. Good for dh insisting you go to the er to have it checked out.

Melinda - Oh boy - family drama - that can just zap the energy right out of you. Sorry you're feeling so crappy with tom too. Glad that you were able to get the car fixed so quickly - and not too pricey. Loved the story of you with your pants on with your long dress. Would have loved to have seen that one.

Go back to eye doc tomorrow - ugh - 8:10........that's way too early. Start drops in the right eye Sunday for surgery on Tuesday. Everything feels good, hope she concurs.

Linda

It's a sf Davinci syrup---it's just white chocolate and it's delicious.

[chewiegand]

Hi again. My stew is bubbling nice and hot. I just added the potatoes.

Finally started walking on my dreadmill today. I did 20 minutes and it kicked my butt. I was sweating and so out of breath. I had it set at 2.4 miles per hour which is actually pretty slow but not for me. LOL It said I burned 100 calories. I am keeping a notebook so I can see how I get faster/longer/etc.

[chewiegand]

My ds18 is on a healthy eating plan---he just did 5 1/2 miles on the bike. WOWOWOWOW Plus he's started lifting weights again---did a routine last night.

Good for him. It is going to be rough to watch him transform so quickly. LOL Men are so lucky! They drop weight like crazy

Hey, All!

Here is something for the record books--everyone liked dinner tonight!!! They ate everything with no complaints. DH said it was a keeper. Think I am going to go to Google Docs and start a list of these meals. Everytime I ask for input for dinner ideas they always say, "I don't know." and then are so quick to say "Yuck" when they look at stuff.

Getting ready to start the infinity scarf again. Going to try not to lose count while casting on my 152 stitches. You all have a good night!

Oh please do share the pattern. I would love to make one. I can only knit scarves and dish rags.

[Oksue]

kcmama....it's tough finding something everyone in the family likes isn't it? Just be sure and put tonight's dinner on again soon!
Linda....the blessing you have going for you is that you don't live as close as we do to our DS and DIL!LOL It is heart breaking I know. I pray it will all work out. This time last year we saw no good out come but sometimes God puts people in place to help out.

Eli this evening: Mom, is Layla going back in your tummy?
Mom: No Eli. She is here to stay.
Eli: She going to live here in my house?
Mom: Yes she is!
Eli: hmmmmmmmm

Makes you wonder what what going on in his little mind!!

Lony....it will be tough when hubs is out of town. Do they have to eat out then? You are SO right. Men lose so fast. (Marking that down as one of my must ask questions to God one day. Just why did you make men where they lose so much faster than us women)?

Heading in under my electric blanket to watch Parenthood!
Have a good evening all.......sweet dreams!

They usually eat at resturants, but my husband is spoiled and likes home cooked food. I try to have lots of things made for him to microwave in the room.

Sue Eli has cracked me up today!

[Lony]

Good Morning sunshines, time to rise and whine!

[kcmama]

MORNING!!!!

A very crisp, cold one it is, too. Around 10 degrees maybe. Stars were beautiful! I got up at 5:00 to put on clothes and go outside to warm up the car for ds since he had to leave around 5:20 for his first morning practice in 10 days or so. Well, "warm" is a relative term. I was trying to warm the engine really before he zooms off with it frozen. And here you all were thinking what a wonderful and amazing mom I am to warm the car for my son, right?! I was thinking more about the car, so he doesn't destroy it! Also, getting the defroster on front and back windows so he doesn't try to drive without good visibility. I don't believe the heater works very well in that 1990 Honda Accord anyway.

Got the trash out, cooked breakfast for youngest, made my coffee, did some devotions.....Lony, I don't think I can post the link here for the scarf pattern as I have gotten in trouble lately for trying to post links here. I will send it to you in email!
