I subcribed to it many noons ago.

I'm such a geek!

woot woot Phil..... I did too.. but didn't think to ever go in that way.. I just go back to page 4 and didn't see her ..

YOUR BACK NOW KRISSY.. or you will be soon as I go comment to you

Phil.. can someone watch the kids.. maybe for ONE Friday night? just a thught.. just bring them on over and they can hang out here..

you all have a great day!!

[iabowhunter]

Well, thats the problem. I feel that they are my kids so they are my responsibility. I hate asking anyone to watch them. If we go to Iowa City they go with us. The last time Hillary and I were alone together was last spring. We went fishing together for a couple hours. That's it. Ryan is a little to young to run around at a footbal game, maybe in a couple years.

69 degrees in this house this morning. I love those open-the-windows-and-put-the-fan-in nights!

Still holding on the the 280's.

Hey Monet!!!!

Just wanted to let you know I'm still around

[monet0329]

Hello all.. ..

Phil... I agree.. opened windows and wonderful.. but this house is old and has those old little crank windows.. so they are not good as far as insaltion (sp?) part of it and we have to keep the storm windows up or the air condition are will go right out the window..lol. so I can't just turn the air off when I want the open the windows without taking out the storm windows.. then you get a really hot day and you need the air.. so then I would have to put the storm windows back in.... so we leave the storm windows in as long as possible.. then when it starts to stay cool.. we take a few out.. kitchen mostly.. till its too cold.. know what I mean..lol.. its a pain in the booty..

we need NEW windows.. that's what I keep sayin.. !..but you know..lol

Ms. handbells.. so good to se ya lady!!...

today was an off again on again busy day at work.. so I was in and out of here.. thinking I posted.. it didn't post.. grr.. anyway..lol

B.. peanuts.... I wasn't hungry.. but took them with me in case I got hungry before brekky... just had a few.. very feww..

L.. chicken blt salad from Wendy's.. ranch dressing..

D.. dh wanted to go to the Asian buffet.. I totally watched what I ate.. shrimp and crab meat sauteed in butter.. not much of this.. mushrooms and chicken.. a little.. meat on a stick..3..boiled fish.. lots. it was nice and fresh tonight.. so I tried to fill up mostly on that.... 3 pieces..

dh pigged out though..lol.. skinny bum anyway..

diet coke today.. no water.... no work the next few days.. so water it will be.. !!

oh.. I must show you a picture of Korbey and his girlfriend.. she came over today.. watched him work..lol.. then went with my mil and Kayden until we all got off work.. let me get the pick in photobucket..lol.

ok here they are.. aren't they coot.. hehehe..



she is the sweetest.. .. and I love the way she looks at Korbey..like he is IT.. know what I mean..I guess when he first took her over there, he asked Rick if it was ok that she stayed for a few to watch him work..lol.. and Rick said.. sure.. but wasn't there a blond here last week watching.... I guess she laughed.. so its good she has a good humor huh..lol... they are bowling as I type.. They just look so cute together I think.. couse.. he is my baby boy..

ok.. tomorrow is house cleaning day..I was so terrified when she came over.. my house is a wreck.. uug.. haven't touched it all week.. except the dishes and laundry.. uug,,.. so tomorrow I have to get on it.. we are cooking out and stuff on Monday.. so.. gotta clean tomorrow..lol..

everyone have a great evening.. love and hugssss

[handbells]

I hear you on the cleaning! lol!

They are a cute couple! Korbey is a handsome boy!

[Edwards20]

Hey there sister, I finally made it over.

Korbey and the new girlie do make a cute pair. She looks very sweet.

I was glad to read that you have started back with induction since I have been absent. Sounds like you are doing great. Have you gotten the energy bursts yet ?

I think the TP holders are so cute. I agree with Jaimie. I think at a craft fair you would expect to pay $25-$30. You might can only get about $20 off Craig's list or eBay. But, have you ever thought of an eBay store ? I wonder if you would do well with that. I think it's neat that you and Beth might get to actually open a store. I think crafty things sell much better in person. You also might consider a portion of it a consignment shop and let other sell, or even offer to sell other's things on eBay. There are a few of those around here.

Well, I just wanted to check in on you ... and thank you for being such a good friend. I love you girl !!

[monet0329]

Candy.. Jenn.... thanks ladies for stoppin by ..

well.. I got me house all clean..yeahh.. and guess what.. she went home a day early.. lol.. just kiddin.. it so needed a good cleaning.. I moved furniture around and all.. so yes Candy.. I got the energy boost!!.

Then Beth called me.. wanted me to go visit Whitney with her.. so we did .. silly girl anyway.. she made tea for us.. hehe.. but I had water because she didn't have splenda or anything.. just sugar.. that's we all know that stuff is pure EVIL.. Beth was like.. just drink the tea without.... I cannot do that..especially brewed.. now there ia good question to ask everyone.. when it comes to tea.. do you prefer Brewed or Instant?? I am an instant gal.. .. or I don't mind sun tea.. I will drink brewed.. but I prefer the instant.. ..

so I really haven't been feeling like eating.. crazy what not having sugar in your system does to ya..lol.. but I am eating.. I know I wont loose as good if I don't eat.. so here is my menu... and guys.. I made it a WHOLE WEEK..

B.. none..

L.. peanut butter mixed with sf grape jelly.... a few spoon fulls..
3 slices of budding ham.. and 1 slice of cheese..

D.. 1 large and 1 very small chicken breast.. baked with all spice baked on them.. dipped in ranch dressing..

tea when I got home.. but water the rest of the day..

did I tell you all that Beth talked me into weighing? yeah.. last week.. Wed. I think it was.. and I have gained all but 30 pounds back..I was shocked.. I mean I knew I had gained some weight back.. but I didn't think THAT much.. .. I am SO ashamed....

why does it pile on so fast.. but come off so slow.. ? ..UUggg..

anyway.. like she said.. I am doing something about it.. so I am not going to stress about it.. time to move on and use this as a learning experience.. NO MORE THINKING I CAN TAKE 2 WEEKS OFF AND BE FINE....( someone remind me of this around Christmas time ok )..even if I stall.. hang tight.. during this time of gaining I have remained in here.. and was conscious of my eating.. I would hate to see it if I didn't pay attention like before.. I would have went well beyond my start weight . I have read up on you all.. and seen how strong you have been and how you made it through the stalls.. some were a few weeks.. some a few months.. but you continued to eat the right way and in the end.. you started losing again.. so.. I am in this for the long hall.. .. it will happen.. ..I have changed my goal weight to 200.. instead of 150.. when I get there.. I will work on getting lower.. but for now.. 200 .. ..its gonna take a long time.. but that's fine.. I'm not going anywhere.. unless the good Lord wants to take me home.. so.. here I go

OK I have more laundry to get done.. and then BB comes on.... so I am gonna get,, may be back on at 10.. we'll see..

love and hugs to all.

Relieves allergy symptoms
Rooibos is known to benefit in the management of allergies like hay fever, asthma and eczema. Rooibos has a soothing effect on the skin, relieving itching and certain skin irritations like eczema, diaper rash and acne when directly applied to the affected area.
