Sat. Morning-- Hows everyones weekend going?

Its a beautiful Sat morning here in Richmond. Andy got home Thursday night about 10 pm. He had no problems driving across the country in 3 days. His last night he spent in Oaklahoma City and then drove straight thru to In. Im glad I wasnt on that road trip ....I'll take a plane anyday over that. Yes Carmen the HONEYMOON is going great . We stayed very busy yesterday. Found time to go out to eat twice and shopping at the mall here and at Kohls. I got 2 new Liz Claborne sweaters and he got a new Leather jacket at Kohls. Dont think we got anything at the mall. Carmen...call me about the spa day if I dont call u today...we need to get all that finalized. Im so in need of the facial, massage and body wrap....the other stuff could wait...but why should it... got to love a girls day at the spa!!!! I didnt get any pole dancing in but I got some new pics made in a hot leather number that I got as a wedding gift but could never fit in before now....LOL So I told Andy we had to pretend like it was out wedding night all over again.... Yes Sally...I know what u are thinking. Papa Dan, Thanks for letting us know how Jeannie is doing. I worried so about her when she was missing. I really liked her. I hope shes back to posting soon. How are u feeling???? Gail, Im so glad u finally got to post. Ive missed u. I cant wait to see a new pic of u. Melanie...why cant u take that baby??? Jan...where are u??? I have on your jeans in that last pic I posted...Thanks again. Dawn, I sorry about your gandfather, I hope things get better for you soon too!!! Seems like alot of you in here have had alot of stress already this new yr. Sara, at bedtime I like a sargentos cheese stick. Keeps me from craving sweets and Im getting protien too. My new favorite snack is dried cranberry snack mix that I get at Walgreens...its has flax, sunfower and nuts in individual packs. love love love these. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I dont go back to wor****il monday. Im on a 5 day weekend... cant beat that. Im enjoying my weekend so much. I think today we are going to Cincinnati and will surely have to stop in at Gold star and have some Cincinnati chili and hit a few of the great malls in the area too. I sure hope we dont get any snow storms today while we are on the road.

Happy Saturday everyone! I leave for Texas in a couple of hours, in an RV so pray for safe travels till we get south of the snow. I hope to have internet access at the campgrounds we'll be stopping at so I'll let you all know I made it safely! Otherwise, I'll see you in 2 weeks> Take care everyonoe! Hope

Gah... I'm at work. Unusual for me on a Saturday, but gotta love the OT. I shouldn't be on here, but I am anyway! Hope everyone else is having more fun than me this Saturday!! kim

5 day week ends and your hubby home....am i seeing another baby shower coming on? lol...have fun and enjoy your time

I WANT THE SNOW TO GO AWAY!! I have cabin fever BAD!! I want to go outside and do something. Most of all I want to go skating... but I can't because at what I weigh now if I fall i'll break something I love skating and my skates are just sitting in the car... poor skates... there's even a new rink in Avon now... Gail i'm so glad you're home... TO everyone else stay warm... I'm going to spend the day with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa in a chair with a book... I'll make sure and read the ones that take place in the tropics or florida so I can live vicariously through the characters. Oh One good thing my husband and I decided to take a cruise next december to Jamaica and Grand Cayman... It's a 5 day cruise and i'm SO excited!!!

Hey Kiddo, did I miss something????? You are talking about honeymoon etc. and wedding gifts. Drop me a note and fill me in on details. This is what happens when I not on here regularly. As for my back, well things are moveing in a more positive direction right now. I am having a disc-o-gram on Monday in Carmel and then over to 86th Street St V for a CAT Scan. Then on the 23rd of Feb I see a Dr who does the spinal stimulator which is like a pace maker. They implant the gizmo and run wires into the spine to block the pain. Dr Leveine put me on a great medication this past Tuesday that has been doing wonders for the pain without putting me in LaLa land. I only have to take one a day. Should know more by the end of the month. One thing for such, surgery is no longer being considered. Papa Dan

Dan u havent missed to much. Andys job had him working out in LA for the last 20 months. It happened about 6 months after we got married they made him go out there. So as u know hes only home about 2-3 days a week and then he spent the rest of the week out in LA. Well he hated it out there. So I never moved out and we kept the house here and my job here. He finally got his job transfer back to INDY. He starts monday on his new job...still with the same company...so nothing changes in his job classification or his time with the company...or his pay. So the honeymoon that we were talking about is just the fact that we are finally a married couple living in the same house ...been a long 20 months for newlyweds. Alot of things have really changed in that time too. Hes coming home to a wife thats less than 1/3 the size she was when he left. Its almost like hes having an affair with a whole new woman....LOL Sam, I didnt go to bed till 9 am this morning so I didnt get up till just now. So I didnt get to call u about the coat before u left...however, the coats Im wearing now are 2x and I can do like u and wrap them around me....So Im grateful for your offer but I just got me a coat thats a 1x. Im down to wearing a size 20 now and hopefully wont be in it long. Im looking forward to the next clothing exchange, again.

Pam I am so glad Andy is home! We are going to Richmond today actually. Eric's sister's dog had puppies a few weeks ago so we are going to go play with them. They are Boston Terriers. Are you in need of a winter coat? I have a black one that is about knee length you can have. It wraps around me twice so I got a new one. I think it's a 2X. Call my cell and let me know. We aren't going out there till about 1 or 2 PM. Things are going well here. I start the new job on the 19th so this work week is going to be busy busy. I am anxious and really excited. The house is coming along beautifully. As soon as I get the curtains up I will post pictures. It seems like there is always something to do. Been really bad with my eating lately. All I want is carbs it seems. I just ordered some Profect so my protein should go back up soon! Either way I am still down 84 lbs and only 5 lbs from ONDERLAND! Can't wait till I see that 1! Have a great day and everyone stay warm!!! Sam

Hello, happy Saturday! I just got to work at noon. Will be here until midnight. What for a long day. Just got done with Mikey's tae kwon do lesson, and Maggie's dance class this morning. Had to get Maggie some bigger ballet slippers, hers are getting too tight. Kids are costly! It's cold here in Terre Haute, and I heard on the news we're getting some snow tomorrow night. Oh dear! Linda Vicory

I so agree!! They are costly! We have a rule here and that is that they have to choose one thing to get involved with and stick with it. Unless it is free or they want to pay for it all by themselves. I could go bankrupt in one year just from sports shoes alone! LOL I bet she looks so cute in her ballet stuff! Carmen
