Coffee is hot come in and talk!

Hi Everyone, come out and talk..... I know it is the holiday week and we are all busy but lets share... The electrician came here last week and it costs me $130 for him to repair my ceiling lights and make sure we are all safe. It was only a SMALL price to pay and well worth our safety..... Saturday before Christmas I woke up and weighed myself and low and behold I weighed 142 pounds! That is 1 pound less then what I weighed the day I GOT MARRIED. almost 20 years ago.....but then yesterday I woke up and weighed 145 again. (DAMN FOOD) My husband and I agreed we would let Brittany quit her job because of the hours they scheduled her for Christmas eve and never usually given her more that 2 hours per week. She wrote out her resignation and put it on her bosses door, left her work and turned around and went back and ripped her note up. Sehe decided the money was better than not working, they told her she would now be off New years eve because she worked Christmas eve, and the schedule came out yesterday and she is WORKING new years eve now. But they went back and put her in for two hours on the following Sunday. It frustrates me so much that they used her. oh well live and learn. right? My Christmas was really good, I got lots of perfume (I don't think I smell) socks, 2 tops, a gold ankle bracelet, earrings, 2 candles and a yankee candle holder with poinsettas on it, and coasters with a spot to put photo's in so I placed old photo's of the kids in it and I love them. What did you get for Christmas and did you enjoy your day? What have you been up to? Share anything.... ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

Hey Chris! I'm still in sc visiting my family for a few more hours. I had a really good Christmas. My mom has always wanted to buy me clothes for christmas but I wouldn't let her because I already knew they wouldn't fit. Well this year, She got me nice clothes that fit! It was a great feeling. I also got Bath & Body works, earrings, Inital charm, CD's and nice worm PJ's. You already know about my favorite present... Minnie Oh, my brother got me one of thoes drink fountains. I have wanted one of these since we entertain a lot! It is so cool. The last time I weighed was last Monday. I was 216 lbs. I am itching to know what my weight is now since the holiday. I haven't ate a lot but I've been eating more carbs and snacking on stuff at night. I'm gonna miss it here but I'm ready to get away from all this food. Nothing else new or interesting with me. Just shopping away with my mom. I hope you have a nice day. Kay

Hi Chris, I had a great Christmas. I received lots of clothes..several turtle neck sweaters and some other warm cozy tops, p.j.s, coat and a necklace. My daughter-in-law gave birth to my first grandson lastnigh which was the best present of all. I went to the dr. today for my 1 year check up even though I'm only in my 11 month..he said, I'm doing great and he's very pleased with the way things have gone. I'm sorry to hear your daughter is still being treated badly. Tell her to look for a new job then she can quit that one and still have money coming in. Hugs, Anna 245-147-130ish

Hi Chris I just got home so I'm pretty late chiming in Went to see "Mama Mia" last night and LOVED IT!!!! I just love live theater anyway but this was just wonderful. We had a nice dinner downtowm and drove around looking at all the Christmas decorations and the Macy's Window's before the show. It was so nice to be able to walk down the sloppy isle and not feel like I was going to fall and to fit in the seat so comfortably....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Today, my sister and I went shopping. I had to return a sweater that my cousin's gave me for Christmas that was too big. And I exchanged it for a top from the regular misses department First time for the top. I'm already a large on the bottom but this is the first time I haven't needed a plus size on the top I also bought a piece of luggage so I can go to Vegas What I had just didn't work with the new TSA regs and having to pack most of my hygeine/beauty supplies. And at my age I need a lot I also bought socks at Target and had to take a trip out to the only store that carries the Hood's Carlorie Countdown Milk. Then we had a nice lunch at TGI Friday's and I have 1/2 a salad left for dinner tonight It was a beautfily , sunny and warm day in Chicago. Very unDecemberlike But that's OK with me. Sending hugs, Ronna

I'm a day late, but I'll jump on in. We had a big Christmas. My mom and Mother in law gave us money, which we're using to buy a friend's entertainment center she is selling. It is big and really nice and a bargain since it is used. I'm going to put it in our den and it will give us more storage space. My husband gave me a gold charm bracelet and a new purse and some clothes, etc. I can add charms to the bracelet. Today my son and I and my sister's family are going to Houston to eat and see a movie and then will go to Katy to stay at my brother's for the night. Tomorrow my dad will meet us there for our Christmas w/ him. My brother actually went hunting and won't be there. Isn't that nice of him. My sister in law loves us though, and is glad to have us there. We should have a good time. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'll be back on board Sunday. Karla
