Topic: RE: It's finally Friday!!
hi ladies my friday is better just so excited its almost the weekend. i really have to figure out a way to drop these extra pounds before my meeting on the 18th. the weird thing about it is concentrating on making smarter choices make me crave bad food terribly. i just cant wait until im on the other side and i will be forced to eat smaller portions and will be forced to forgo the chocolate bar hidden in my desk. ive been trying to take the stairs more always down but since i work on the 9th floor its harder to do up, but at the train station i take the stairs however by the time im at the top (its like equal to maybe just uner 3 flights, like 30 steps or so) i feel like im going to have a heart attack and i cant breath. ive also been trying to walk around my floor (its a figure 8) ive been walking around the outer perimeter when most people are on lunch (i forgo lunch hour so i can leave earlier to get home to my fam) i wish i had a pedometer so i knew how much i walked in one day. im sure its got to be more than a mile but its not consistent so im pretty sure that doesnt count.
thanks for welcoming me into your group. unfortunately i tried to go to the picture sizing website and of course its firewalled from my comp (they firewall the weirdest things) so i tried again, unsuccessfully)

Thanks Court but keep thinking them through Monday because it was postponed until Monday afternoon.   The guy my husband had set up to do it was seeming kind of shady....I encouraged him to call the realtor and he agreed with me.   Gotta love it when I'm right and DH doesn't want to admit it.   So, we have a new inspector that will be there Monday afternoon.  I have all the stuff I need to call and get my stuff transferred for work as well so as soon as that's over on Monday I'll be getting that set up.  

70 degrees!!!   I'm jealous.   I was excited because it's going to be 30 here LOL.   My son is going on a trip to Tennessee this summer for church so we've been doing fundraising all yr.   We have one to finish up this weekend.   We are making about 400 pasties that we sold.   OMG that's a lot of work.   Some of us parents and youth leaders are getting together tonight and tomorrow to make them.   Then on Sunday we have to be there at church early to deliver them.  Most of my weekend will be taken up.   My sister is coming to town Sun afternoon and staying until Wed.   She needs a few days away from home so she's coming here and getting a hotel room all by herself.   Sun evening we're all heading over to do a pizza supper and swimming.   Mon evening after work just her and I are going to spend some time relaxing together.   Then on Tues I'm only working a half day and then we'll meet for breakfast and spend the day together with Sadie.   Tues evening she and I are going for dinner and to the play Mama Mia.   Ohhh I can't wait.   So. that's my weekend in a nutshell.

Have a great one everybody!

Michelle, thinking positive passing thoughts for you today!

My Thursday went well.  Finished up at work and then it was home to a houseful of kids like normal.  Really had a great evening.  Not too much planned for the weekend.  The girlies have some social stuff going on, we will have an extra girlie for the weekend, some errands to run and a family get together.  Hoping we can get out & enjoy the 70 degree weather they are predicting.  Hope you all have a great one!!!

Maybe I can help on the picture thing.... Not too computer saavy either, with the avatar... but here is a website that helped me re-size it.  I had to end up going thru the process of re-sizing, and trying to add it two or three times, but, in the end... it finally showed up!!!!
And, once you have the picture re-sized and added, it takes about a day to "hit" and show up.  Just an FYI.

Hope you get your call back soon!!!!

Topic: RE: Hello Thursday!!

hi ladies, my thursday is going alright (is it really thursday already?!?!)
im having a tough time, i have to drop 5 lbs by march 18th to get the approval for wls and im having the toughest time with it, i feel like as much as i try i stay the same. ive tried to lessen what im eating and im trying to eat primarily healthy but i have been relapsing bad! also since im attempting to quit smoking before the surgery hasnt made things easier. i quit in september but i had one or two here and there and when my husband picked up smoking again i relapsed and now im back to 3 or 4 cigs a day.
on top of that my husband was told yesterday that he has 4 bleeding lesions on his frontal lobe of his brain, they think its MS but his dr hasnt called back yet and its driving us crazy! its been giving me more motivation to get the wls and be healthy so my son has at least one healthy parent to play with.

speaking of which i tried to upload a pic of him yesterday for my avatar or even one of both of us, no matter how tiny i made it it kept rejecting it. any advice??

sorry for going on and on and complaining, im actually a really positive person most of the time, haha, you're all probably like, um yeah new girl joins us and just complains! lame!
hope you're all having a good day and looking forward to one more day til the weekend! i know i am!

Work was good.  Just getting ready for a big project here at work, that will be around 3 weeks long.  Probably starting the week of the 16th.  It is a yearly thing.... Just busy, busy, busy.
So, I am trying to get the little things out of the way & get ready to focus on that, mentally.

Hunter is doing goo.  We came home yesterday & went out on the back deck & played for a bit until he was cold & then came inside.  It snowed last night, and is still snowing, not too much accumulation as of yet, but it has not stopped either.  Weather man said it could possibly turn into rain??!!??  YIKES!!!

Have a GREAT DAY!!!!

My Wed went pretty well too.   We had an appt after work with the banker...then we met the realtor and signed the ammended purchase agreement.   We then set up our inspection for tomorrow.   After all of that I took the 2 kids to the mall and TJ Max.   We had a good evening.   We braved it and even took Sadie out in panties instead of a pull up.  She did wonderful!

Good Morning All!  Lurkers, how are you doing?  How was everyone's Wednesday?  Mine was pretty good.  Work went by pretty quickly then it was home for a relaxing evening.  Hubby fixed dinner then I curled up in the bed and watched Idol!  Went to bed early and was up early today and at  the gym.  Feeling pretty good.  Hoping work goes by quick again today.  Nothing planned for tonight.  Hubby is taking a mental health day from work so I am sure he will go get the girls early and we can have a nice family night.  Have a great one!!!
