Yes, Tina - you are right...I will get off my pitty potty:)
Kathi, what the heck is up with the Chargers? I just talked to Paul (he is on his way home from playing soccer and is recording the game) and he is so excited about going home to watch his recording of it. Boy, is he going to be upset:(
LA, when do you go home? next weekend? I did lots of research for New Orleans... should be great!
Dinner Cruise, Buggy Rides, Street Car, Bourbon Street, Anabellum Homes, ..... Swamp Tour.... Haunted Tour.... I've got a breakdown of prices so we know what we are looking at... price wize... then we can decide.... Tina and Brenda want to come to our house one day to see all the kids, so I figure.... we can cook that evening..... and then head back to New Orleans... it's only like 45 minutes....
Brennans, the restaurant my boss brought us to.... it was sooooo good.... I had the blackened redfish topped with lump white crab meat.... caesar salad, creole (tomato) seafood gumbo.... and then crepe Bridget (which was thin thin crepes rolled with whipped cheese cake, topped with chocolate and whipped topping.... OMG.. THANK GOODNESS WE ALL SHARED!!!!
UNREAL.... it ended up being like $150 a person.... ridiculous! the next day we had our planning conference.... he handed everyone a $100 bill to gamble with! Woo Hoo!!!! we had fun! on the boss!
I LOVE THE WORLD POKER TOUR...watch it almost every night...it might even give me the courage to try a table game when I go to Vegas again (whenever that'll be)
Ok, so I'm home....had another damned episode, so couldn't stay at my dad's another night; i didn't have my ativan for one thing, and for another, i'm basically comatose when I do take 'em, and i need to be "aware" of things....so sis had to come pick me up...i go back on tuesday; one good (great, in fact) thing is I don't think I need to call 911, or at least I'm gonna try not to...say prayers that I don't need to
LA, I KNOW, HUH???? About the Chargers? Steelers just played to great of a game (or the Chargers played a real SUCKY ONE)...I think it was just WAY to cold for them...lol
I wish to God I could go on the booger trip with ya'll (I know it's just couples though, but feeling a bit down about that); I sooooo miss you, LA; and I want to meet Marci and the girls, and Steph :(
Hello....Hey Kathi...I hope you're feeling better SOON!! How scary for you! I'm sure us booger girls will plan more trips :) FOR SURE!!
I visited everyone's blogs and commented on the updates :)
Steve is now in Jacksonville Florida til Friday on business...He will get to visit with my brother and familly, which I'm happy about..LOL..and go to Cracker Barrel (DAMMIT!)
I had a busy day...helped a friend at her nursery ...then home to do chores as I watched the Chargers lose!! I wasn't that sad though..my friend, Deb, is a Steeler fan LOL...I was happy for her :)
Yes...remember a while ago, Leigh Ann posted a picture of friends' feet, who were sitting together...not sure where she got that picture, but I guess this was Paul's spontaneous take on that idea. I thought it was an interesting perspective. :)
I WANT EVERYONE TO SIT DOWN...I AM SITTING HERE TRYING TO HOLD BACK MY TEARS...
TEARS OF JOY!!!!!
MY DETAILER JUST CALLED AND TOLD ME TO SUBMIT A HUMANITARIAN PACKAGE; THAT IT WILL BE APPROVED AND THAT I COULD BE BACK IN NASHVILLE RECRUITING AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY...
THIS JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE MILITARY, BUT IT'S HAPPENING.
Leighann!!!!!!!!!! :) That is huge!! clap clap clap!!!! Yahoo!! yes, prayers do work :D Couldn't happen for a better cause...You all must be so overwhelmed with joy :D
Hello all!! I, too, love the pics of our feet LOL very cool!!
Thanks Marci...the only really hard part is that Powder, right now, is pretty high maintenance with her cone head, wound care and more meds... due to her paw having an open wound...we did alternate the cone head with paw banadaging..but she started chewing the bandage off...Me and the animals turned in early last night due to me having, I believe, having a UTI...going to doc after work...
WOW!!! LeighAnn that is WONDERFUL news!! I am so happy for you and the rest of the Wrather clan!!! To be home again will be wonderful for you! (((HUGS))
Had the big meeting here with the suits...1.5 hours....I had my lunch to microwave but by noon when the meeting let out..there were 70 people ready for lunch vs the normally staggered lunch times LOL...I went and bought a salad LOL
Everyone...if you want to read the most beautiful story about a dog and elephant...Here it is...Steph,Gwen and Leighann..have any of you been to this place the story refers too??
Hi everyone...just checking in before I read some and go to bed.
For some reason, I am ALREADY PMSing and am exhausted and bloated as hell. Remember in Dec how Tori and I messed up each others cycles...and Rayna was on her own. LOL! So, my uniform is tight and I am unpleasant at the moment.
Had an incredibly busy day at work and was unable to start my pkg. But, my command is onboard - they have to give the ok - so, overall AN INCREDIBLE DAY!!!
Hey ladies.... I missed so many posts.... I probably will not have time during the day to post anymore.... :( just really busy.... and a little stressed out.... have to get organized....
LA, glad you got those special orders....
Tina and Brenda, can't wait to see you two in May.... Bren, did you get a doctor's appt?
kathi, hoping another day is good for you... read your blog update... don't over do it with the ativan!
Steph, did you figure how to follow my blog? I think you just have to click on followers....
well what a day of praise for the WRATHER'S !!! so excited for you to come home LA ...this is where you belong ...
I will check out the site you mentioned brenda and get back to you ...
i am so mad at both the CHARGERS and TITIANS ... what a let down ...
I LOST 3 LBS LAST WEEK !!!! I am down to 137 ... loving the cookbook ... we are having Black Bean soup, Ck Parmesan, Turkey/bacon sandwiches, and baked ziti this week ... it has really cute my grocery bill shopping w/ a menu and the calories are so doable ...
well off to do dishes and feed LOLA BELLE ... can i just say she adorable ... she is a great baby and i feel so blessed to have her and thanks for praying for her birth family and her new forever family ... i just know prayer really does make a difference !!!
Hey all...understand Leighann and Marci...busy work days and blogs don't mix LOL
Went to the doc...no infection...since we're all saying our prayers..say one for me..pray I don't have anything to pass LOL(last year I passed some stones..oh dear)
Yikes....that hurts, Brenda! I had a stone and a BAD kidney infection when I was pregnant with Ansley! That was fun! Hoping that's not what is happening with you! It felt like someone hit me in the small of my back with a bat! :(
Kathy - hang in there and take it easy on the meds
Steph, Gwen, Kristy - have a great day!
I cant wait till this freaking dry weather goes away!! My lips chap, my hands are dry and itchy, my eyes burn and are red, and my NOSE plugs up. LOL... Its supposed to be 80 freakin degrees today!! WHERE DID OUR WINTER GO?!?
OMGG!!! I somehow deleted part of my last post! Thats WEIRD!!
It also said LeighAnn - I think the kids will be so very excited when you tell them! Smart move waiting till you have more details! They will be so incredibly happy!!!
Hey girlies.... I'm finally here.... one of the girls at the office,, volunteered for Mylee tonight, so Nonnie couldd have a break... I'm cooking and cleaning, but taking a break.... Brenda, I do hope you dont have stones... ouch.... never had but heard they are painful! Tina, good job today!
LA, can't wait to see the kids reactions, I also talked to Jeanine tonight, she is home and doing very well!
Well, I had an exciting 24 hours...had to go to the hospital again for my episode (was doing fine when sis and friend came and got me at dad's Sunday, but the damn thing came back at 2:30 this morning - woke me up, which it usually does -, so had to call 911); took me to Pomerado; paramedics said they take me to the closest hospital; and then they transferred me to Palomar (IN ESCONDIDO)....i got home about an hour ago...very tired now, so going to bed
LA, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you, that you can do your work from "home" now; can't wait to see the expression on the kids' faces (if you post pictures)
Brenda, can you take me shopping anytime soon? I can't trust my ihss worker now, so I have to ask you; I'm sorry
Hello everyone :) I do believe I am now back to normal (?) I'm going to look into switching my PC doc...don't feel safe at the clinic I go too...and that I'm getting managed care..I want to be in a place so that if this happens again, I can get answers...did I have kidney stones this time and last..or is there something going on with my kidneys?? Not sure
Kathi...I'm available Friday after 2:30 (earliest) Let me know, for sure, because I tend to lock things in...I'm so sorry for what you've been through :( I hope you have some good days now :D
WTG Tina on your eating plan :) I tend to do really bad when I don't feel good...LOL...I eat!!
Leighann...glad your package is moving forward :) Just wonderful!!!
Hey Marci...hoping you get time now to tend to what you need to do :)
Hi Steph...How goes it on your end :) Are you busy busy??
Hi Brenda, I am glad you are feeling better - changing your PC sounds good! You have had other issues in the past with them...
Tina, Yes! Hat's off to you with the eating plan...I just ate my lunch and it's barely nine. I will eat like this until I fall COMPLETELY off the roof. LOL!
Yes, Paul and I have been married 13 years today and Mackenzie turned 11 yesterday...big sleepover planned for Saturday Night. I leave Friday morning and don't have to head back until Monday, cause its a holiday. YAH!!!
Mmmmm Leighann...I wish I had some right now too..that is DREAMY LOL I was just digging all around my desk for something yummy..guess I have to do what you did..LOL eat an apple LMAO
LOL...get 'em, Brenda! Yeah, Friday sounds good; I should be well rested, and out of the influence of the drugs they gave me at the hospital...I've got a major headache right now (drug related, I'm sure); so did you have a stone, Bren?
Happy Anniversary LA and Paul, and Happy Birthday Mackenzie (I can't believe she's 11 already...I remember when she was born)
Hey Bren, can we also do a Target run on Friday? I have to make two copies of a picture and send them off to my cousin (it's a picture of all of us in front of the restaurant after my mom's cemetery service)
Im doing okay so far today... my little calorie counter thingy says 650 calories so far today. Thats not too bad considering I have already had breakfast, snack and lunch! Only thing left is before gym snack and dinner! And probably gonna be baked chicken... so... I should be good for the day!
Hey ladies... glad everyone is doing well! Lots of good eating.. and goals!!!! gooooooo girls!!!! My thyroidd was 1/2 way into check.. so I will continue with 25 mg Monday thru Friday and take 50 mg Sat & Sunday!.... odd but hopefully it will work...
made a veggie soup for tonight... yum!
I'm trying to get in touch with Renee... but she is doing the fitness aerobics classes alot... and she also works at the Blood Bank.... plus 3 kids.. .and my brother! she is busy!!!
Yes, you guys....just back from a long list of errands today....when funds roll in, time to catch up on stuff....LOL! Finally got oil changed in Mustang....I had about 10,000 miles since last change....OMG. I told my husband, that is man stuff! Not my area! I am tired, and ready to lie down and read. :)
steph I agree with you... I tell MB that all the time.. I'm lucky there is a shop in our parking lot and they come and ask us all the time if we need things!
LA, glad your levels have been good.. yes a really big pain...
Thanks for all you do on the blog once again! You are incredible...
OH WELLL... a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. And Carls Jr (THANKS FRED!?!) was calling my name. He suggested I get burgers on my way home from the gym... so instead of a nice healthy piece of baked chicken... i gobbled down a famous star and zucchini. YUM. Now I will pay for that... *sigh*
Love you all!! Have a great evening!!
OHHH ya... go back to endo doc next month for thyroid check again... been on 150 mg for 6 months now... so I have my fingers crossed!!!
so busy tonight...... the burger sounds fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wrestled the computer from MB.... yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! two of us and one computer!!!!!!!
Hi all!!! Sorry I have been off line. I go to night school on Monday and this class is going to be a bitch, I can tell.
Leigh Ann- I am crying right now!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you. I read that and burst into tears and Jeff freaked out that it was something bad. I have been so worried about you. I am eternally thankful to all involved if you are back in Nashville that soon!!!!
I am so happy to read how well everyone is doing!!
I weigh again on Friday and am nervous, did good last week.... this has been a stressful week. I am writing it all down and trying to make good choices... biting my nails.
trying to catch up ... hope everyone is doing well ... Miss Lola Belle is a dream, but keeping me busy ...
I am eating pretty good this week ... did have a brownie last night ...
Can I say that I am sick of cold weather ... I am trying to drink my 64 oz of water each day and it is making me so cold ALL day ...
thanks for fixing my ticker LA ... we talked to M on her bday ... happy annv. !!! i still remember the day you guys got married ... what a precious looking family and my brother just look so proud of you and the girls ...
Brenda, Tina, Renee, Kathi, Stephanie, Marci, Kristy, LA .. is that all of us ... have a great Thursday and know that we are stronger together than we are apart !!!
My baked ziti was fab, chicken parmesan was ok, and black bean soup was to die for this week from Biggest Loser Cookbook ...
Gwen..You're amazing!!!! All those kiddies around you and you're cooking these yummy meals from scratch :) I must get that cookbook you're cooking from!!!!!
Kristi :) WTG on your end with all your going through!!
Tina...thanks for the gym experience..sorry again that I wasn't even close to being a good friend...I'll be a total opposite come Saturday's lunch, I'm sure :)
Leighann..hello..thinking of you and the going home tomorrow!! YAHOO!!
Hey Kathi...Call my cell Friday after your doc appt, ok...I'll go home from work and work on much needed chores :) I'm only available Friday afternoon thru the evening up until 8pm. ok ..Remind me to take your pic for the blog too!!
Marci...best wishing as you continue your meds :) Hoping all else is good :)
Steph..that's cute about the man's job LOL that doesn't work very well in my house without heavy encouragement LOL
LeighAnn... If it means you live closer I would have gladly GIVEN you my burger! LOL!!!
Steph - EvERYTHING around my house is a mans job... just ask him... he will tell you. He cleans, vaccums, does laundry, cars, yard. Only thing he doesnt do is cook - so... what good is clean house and clothes if you are STARVING?!? - its how i justify my existance! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Gwen - can i just say WOW.
Kristi - See you Friday girly! Sounds like you have had another GREAT week!
Brenda - you are always a great friend... and im sorry you feel like POO.
Marci - I hope the meds work well for you. Patience is a requirement with thyroid... just ask LA and me... wheeeee.
Kathi, Renee - hope the last half of the week treats you well!!
LOL, Brenda! I like how you put that....heavy insistance! :)
Tina, very good about Fred. It is a lot more fun and less daunting to cook, if you have someone to clean up afterward.....I am just the opposite. If the kitchen is clean and I am hungry, I would rather be hungry that make it dirty!
My husband is a nut when he cleans the kitchen....all glasses in super straight lines in the cabinet, plates stacked according to size, etc. But hey, what about the countertops and the floor, laundry, bathrooms, etc?..... :) He is a dishes-only kind of guy! Every little bit helps!
Steph...that is very intersting about John and his dishes LOL...I love how we all have these oddities about ourselves LMAO...
Tina..I love you're hook up...dreamy :) I'd be cooking gourmet..having the pots hanging from the ceilings LOL...OMG..I'd give the family sides of homemade chutney on their plates LOL...Oh my!! hehehehe
I am with you Tina, MB helps out plenty... except for if I cook he cleans! LOL I like it that way....
but of course my house is never too clean.... we are terrible about not keeping up with it!!!!! too many legs running around this house!
I get my new prescription today for my thyroid... been without meds for 4 days... going backwards!
I think Kristy gets the award for the most energetic response for Leigh Ann, we are all excited for you girl... but Kristy captured the moment for all of us! :)
Hi all! LMAO - you girls are all great, I just sit here and chuckle. Just spoke with Paul and they are out of school tomorrow due to extreme cold - no snow - just freezing!!!
Yep, I just got the recording from the superintendent about school out....apparently we have 3000 students who attend class in portables, and the heating units on them will not compensate for single-digit cold...I am glad they are doing it. I can't even get my child to wear a coat....not enough room in his locker for it, so he would rather be cold for a minute or two.....such a guy! I would be WEARING my coat, all day long!!! It is too cold for anything alive, outside right now, and only dropping.
Hey all..Leighann...yea!!!! you're going home :) WOW! That weather back there is crazy cold!!!! Hope you all are safe and warm!!! Steph, you're a good friend :)
LeighAnn - I am down 1.5 lbs! YAY ME!!! Lets see if I can keep that up!
I am sooo glad its the end of the week! I hope everyone has a great weekend. Soccer is at freaking 9:40 tonight!! Thats like WAYYYY past my bed time. *sigh* Oh well ya do what cha can.
About the weather, I'm ALMOST tempted to call my one of my relatives in Chicago and gloat at how warm it is here; I'm so bad
Bren, I'll call you when I get done at the doc today; if there's time, can we also do a Target run (to get copies of a pic made to send off to my cousin)
Hey Kathi...please forgive me but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to cancel...ok...I'm just not feeling well :( I was going to wait until the 28th..my appt that I scheduled, but I'm thinking, I need to go today after work..I'm really sorry!!!
Made it here by 3! That was like in 6 and 1/2 hours...I am sitting here in bed with Dailen watching Clean House. I can't believe how big she is! Paul just took Rayna to the movies with friends and went to get a hair cut...Mackenzie is at a sleepover b-day party at the Opryland Hotel.
It is SO incredible to be home!
Brenda, are you ok?
Tina, good luck tonight on the field and CONGRATS on the weight loss! I enjoyed getting your text today, it made me smile:)
Kathi, yea - I am missing the warm weather in SoCal!
Marci, how are you? Rayna was telling me about the picture that KK posted of her (Rayna) and Mylee - she loves that baby so!
Renee, I will get your page done this weekend:)
Gwen, I am going to call you tomorrow - I want to see that baby and the rest of your team.
Kristi, hope class is going well...Paul goes tomorrow.
Stephanie, do you think you guys can come over tomorrow - Mackenzie is having a sleepover b-day party -very low key - or would you rather do Sunday? Just must get together!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hate to say this.... but the Jewelry Show is the same weekend in New Orleans!!!!!!!! Woo Hoooooooo.... we can make a quick run... and let the boys do something else!!!!
I didn't end up going to the doctor...missed the bus; oh well
No, I didn't call one of my relatives, either; I'll email my cousin, Kathleen, though, find out just how cold it is there, and maybe rub in the fact that we're in the 80s
Brenda, how are you?
Marci, that freaked me out when you posted as Renee....got a good chuckle out of that
Yes, Leigh Ann...John talked to Paul last night, and he told me when I got up this morning that we are expected 6-ish, this evening? That's cool. I finish up around 11 or so with work, and other than housework and workout, I am free. What do I need to bring?
Ansley is excited to see her friend Kenzie, she said. :)
Everyone, here is something cute....Ansley took a very long nap today AND went to bed early, so she is sitting right beside me, watching TV and singing "Old McDonald had a farm....", but it is coming out, "Oatmeal Donald had a tarm, E-I-E-I-OOOOOOOO......"
I guess leave my ticker as-is, Leigh Ann. I am still doing the 6 circuits but running too. I guess there is no way to really accurately quantify on the ticker. I am just keeping a journal.

Yes, Tina - you are right...I will get off my pitty potty:)
Kathi, what the heck is up with the Chargers? I just talked to Paul (he is on his way home from playing soccer and is recording the game) and he is so excited about going home to watch his recording of it. Boy, is he going to be upset:(

Ok, so I'm home....had another damned episode, so couldn't stay at my dad's another night; i didn't have my ativan for one thing, and for another, i'm basically comatose when I do take 'em, and i need to be "aware" of things....so sis had to come pick me up...i go back on tuesday; one good (great, in fact) thing is I don't think I need to call 911, or at least I'm gonna try not to...say prayers that I don't need to

Who's footies are those on the front page?
I am guessing........ From the left... Brenda, Leigh Ann, and then Tina. Did I guess it?
Nope, it's Leigh Ann, Stephanie and Brenda's feet...turned out very cute! Paul took that picture of us on their couch! :)
I love it Steph...it's so cute; but did he take a picture of your feet? Paul's so funny..
Yes...remember a while ago, Leigh Ann posted a picture of friends' feet, who were sitting together...not sure where she got that picture, but I guess this was Paul's spontaneous take on that idea. I thought it was an interesting perspective. :)
I WANT EVERYONE TO SIT DOWN...I AM SITTING HERE TRYING TO HOLD BACK MY TEARS...
TEARS OF JOY!!!!!
MY DETAILER JUST CALLED AND TOLD ME TO SUBMIT A HUMANITARIAN PACKAGE; THAT IT WILL BE APPROVED AND THAT I COULD BE BACK IN NASHVILLE RECRUITING AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY...

Everyone...if you want to read the most beautiful story about a dog and elephant...Here it is...Steph,Gwen and Leighann..have any of you been to this place the story refers too??
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/02/assignment_america/main4696340.shtml?source=mostpop_story
Yes, I have been to the sanctuary, Brenda! In Hohenwald (affectionately known as "Hole-in-the-wall) :)
I love elephants, so we made a special trip to see the sanctuary a few years ago. It's about an hour and a half from our house!
Remember the story on MSNBC about the elephant doing the self-portrait? They are so sweet!
And the world can definitely learn from an elephant whose best friend is a dog...that article was too sweet, Brenda! Thanks for sharing!
Hi everyone...just checking in before I read some and go to bed.
For some reason, I am ALREADY PMSing and am exhausted and bloated as hell. Remember in Dec how Tori and I messed up each others cycles...and Rayna was on her own. LOL! So, my uniform is tight and I am unpleasant at the moment.
Had an incredibly busy day at work and was unable to start my pkg. But, my command is onboard - they have to give the ok - so, overall AN INCREDIBLE DAY!!!
I know I am all about ME right now and I apologize...I have read everyones posts and am thinking of you all.

Congrats on the weight loss, Gwen! I must get that cookbook when I get home.

Stephanie, going to do yours now...enjoyed talking with you tonight.
Brenda, how are you:(
Kathi,
Hope you are having a good evening!
Kristi and Renee, miss you guys!
Well, I had an exciting 24 hours...had to go to the hospital again for my episode (was doing fine when sis and friend came and got me at dad's Sunday, but the damn thing came back at 2:30 this morning - woke me up, which it usually does -, so had to call 911); took me to Pomerado; paramedics said they take me to the closest hospital; and then they transferred me to Palomar (IN ESCONDIDO)....i got home about an hour ago...very tired now, so going to bed
LA, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for you, that you can do your work from "home" now; can't wait to see the expression on the kids' faces (if you post pictures)
Brenda, can you take me shopping anytime soon? I can't trust my ihss worker now, so I have to ask you; I'm sorry
I'm just crawling back on the roof...GOD, I hate having my period in hopsitals
Kathi, hope your rest helped you out. I guess I am fixing to fall off the roof, too. I would feel better:)
Hope everyone has a great day!!!
I am going to be working on my package (a letter from me and from doctors and friends and family) for endorsement.
Happy Hump Day Everyone!!
LeighAnn - good luck with your packet!
Hello everyone :) I do believe I am now back to normal (?) I'm going to look into switching my PC doc...don't feel safe at the clinic I go too...and that I'm getting managed care..I want to be in a place so that if this happens again, I can get answers...did I have kidney stones this time and last..or is there something going on with my kidneys?? Not sure
Kathi...I'm available Friday after 2:30 (earliest) Let me know, for sure, because I tend to lock things in...I'm so sorry for what you've been through :( I hope you have some good days now :D
WTG Tina on your eating plan :) I tend to do really bad when I don't feel good...LOL...I eat!!
Leighann...glad your package is moving forward :) Just wonderful!!!
Hey Marci...hoping you get time now to tend to what you need to do :)
Hi Steph...How goes it on your end :) Are you busy busy??
Kristi...Rene..hello!!
I knew there was someone I missed saying hello too...Hi Gwen!! Hoping the family and the little baby, you're caring for, is well :)
Leighann..Happy Anniversary!! I know you look forward to celebrating this weekend your anniversary and Mackenzie's birthday (yesterday)
Hi Brenda, I am glad you are feeling better - changing your PC sounds good! You have had other issues in the past with them...
Tina,
Yes! Hat's off to you with the eating plan...I just ate my lunch and it's barely nine. I will eat like this until I fall COMPLETELY off the roof. LOL!
Yes, Paul and I have been married 13 years today and Mackenzie turned 11 yesterday...big sleepover planned for Saturday Night. I leave Friday morning and don't have to head back until Monday, cause its a holiday. YAH!!!
Happy Anniversary LeighAnn and Paul!! I sent Paul a text yesterday and asked him to tell Mac that Ms Tina said Happy Birthday!
Have a great 3 day weekend with the family!!
Hey girls...
I got a few minutes...
went to the Endocronologist this morning.. he will double check thyroids and call...
LA, glad you are getting your package together. Please tell Mackenzie I said Happy Birthday! and Happy Anniversary to you!
Tina, thanks for the email, that was sweet of you!
Brenda, good idea to change and get that second opinion!
Kathi, hope you are feeling better!
steph, you must be busy!
Hey Kristy and Gwen and Renee'!
Hey Marci...you sound really busy...
Thanks for all of the happy birthday and anniversary wishes - I will pass them on!
I am bloated and miserable and hungry...ugh!
Just ate an apple - not very exciting...I need some of that PB and whip cream stuff that Gwen was talking about - the WHOLE tub!!!
Mmmmm Leighann...I wish I had some right now too..that is DREAMY LOL I was just digging all around my desk for something yummy..guess I have to do what you did..LOL eat an apple LMAO
Hey Marci...hoping you are ok with your tests!!!!
change that last post...LOL...I have an apple to my right and mixed cut up veggies to my left....going in for the veggies :)
LOL...get 'em, Brenda! Yeah, Friday sounds good; I should be well rested, and out of the influence of the drugs they gave me at the hospital...I've got a major headache right now (drug related, I'm sure); so did you have a stone, Bren?
Happy Anniversary LA and Paul, and Happy Birthday Mackenzie (I can't believe she's 11 already...I remember when she was born)
Hey Bren, can we also do a Target run on Friday? I have to make two copies of a picture and send them off to my cousin (it's a picture of all of us in front of the restaurant after my mom's cemetery service)
LMAO...too funny Brenda! Damn fruit and veggies!
Hey all!!
Im doing okay so far today... my little calorie counter thingy says 650 calories so far today. Thats not too bad considering I have already had breakfast, snack and lunch! Only thing left is before gym snack and dinner! And probably gonna be baked chicken... so... I should be good for the day!
Calories - Zero... Tina - TWO!!! YAY ME!!!
Very good job, Tina!
Renee, what year were you born and I will make your ticker page.
Very good job, Tina!
Renee, what year were you born and I will make your ticker page.
Hey ladies...
glad everyone is doing well!
Lots of good eating.. and goals!!!!
gooooooo girls!!!!
My thyroidd was 1/2 way into check.. so I will continue with 25 mg Monday thru Friday and take 50 mg Sat & Sunday!.... odd but hopefully it will work...
made a veggie soup for tonight...
yum!
I'm trying to get in touch with Renee... but she is doing the fitness aerobics classes alot...
and she also works at the Blood Bank.... plus 3 kids.. .and my brother! she is busy!!!
Steph, your page is finished. Do you want to keep your ticker the same with the circuits?
Kathi and Renee...you guys are the only ones left. Whenever you can, no pressure.
Hey Marci,
No worries...I don't want to stress anyone. I just don't want anyone to get frustrated with me:)
Your soup sounds wonderful!
Hope the increase in your meds level out your thyroid - it is such a pain!
Tina how is your levels? Mine need to be checked again, although I think I am still good.
Yes, you guys....just back from a long list of errands today....when funds roll in, time to catch up on stuff....LOL! Finally got oil changed in Mustang....I had about 10,000 miles since last change....OMG. I told my husband, that is man stuff! Not my area! I am tired, and ready to lie down and read. :)
steph I agree with you... I tell MB that all the time.. I'm lucky there is a shop in our parking lot and they come and ask us all the time if we need things!
LA, glad your levels have been good.. yes a really big pain...
Thanks for all you do on the blog once again! You are incredible...
OH WELLL... a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. And Carls Jr (THANKS FRED!?!) was calling my name. He suggested I get burgers on my way home from the gym... so instead of a nice healthy piece of baked chicken... i gobbled down a famous star and zucchini. YUM. Now I will pay for that... *sigh*
Love you all!! Have a great evening!!
OHHH ya... go back to endo doc next month for thyroid check again... been on 150 mg for 6 months now... so I have my fingers crossed!!!
Good Luck with your results, Tina! Good thing I wasn't close to you, cause I would have wrestled you for that freak'n burger! Love ya!
Steph, good job oj getting EVERYTHING done:)
so busy tonight...... the burger sounds fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wrestled the computer from MB.... yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
two of us and one computer!!!!!!!
Hi all!!! Sorry I have been off line. I go to night school on Monday and this class is going to be a bitch, I can tell.
Leigh Ann- I am crying right now!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you. I read that and burst into tears and Jeff freaked out that it was something bad. I have been so worried about you. I am eternally thankful to all involved if you are back in Nashville that soon!!!!
I am so happy to read how well everyone is doing!!
I weigh again on Friday and am nervous, did good last week.... this has been a stressful week. I am writing it all down and trying to make good choices... biting my nails.
Big huggs and kisses to all!!!
Kristi.
LOL, glad you won on that one, Marci...hehehe
Brenda, I just remembered I have a follow up with my doc on Friday at 230 :(....how's Saturday look for you? (or Friday evening?)
LA, have you told the kids yet?
Kristi, great post. Sounds like you are doing great. :)
trying to catch up ... hope everyone is doing well ... Miss Lola Belle is a dream, but keeping me busy ...
I am eating pretty good this week ... did have a brownie last night ...
Can I say that I am sick of cold weather ... I am trying to drink my 64 oz of water each day and it is making me so cold ALL day ...
thanks for fixing my ticker LA ... we talked to M on her bday ... happy annv. !!! i still remember the day you guys got married ... what a precious looking family and my brother just look so proud of you and the girls ...
Brenda, Tina, Renee, Kathi, Stephanie, Marci, Kristy, LA .. is that all of us ... have a great Thursday and know that we are stronger together than we are apart !!!
My baked ziti was fab, chicken parmesan was ok, and black bean soup was to die for this week from Biggest Loser Cookbook ...
Off to pick up my disater of a house ...
love you guys !!!
Hello and good morning :)
Gwen..You're amazing!!!! All those kiddies around you and you're cooking these yummy meals from scratch :) I must get that cookbook you're cooking from!!!!!
Kristi :) WTG on your end with all your going through!!
Tina...thanks for the gym experience..sorry again that I wasn't even close to being a good friend...I'll be a total opposite come Saturday's lunch, I'm sure :)
Leighann..hello..thinking of you and the going home tomorrow!! YAHOO!!
Hey Kathi...Call my cell Friday after your doc appt, ok...I'll go home from work and work on much needed chores :) I'm only available Friday afternoon thru the evening up until 8pm. ok ..Remind me to take your pic for the blog too!!
Marci...best wishing as you continue your meds :) Hoping all else is good :)
Steph..that's cute about the man's job LOL that doesn't work very well in my house without heavy encouragement LOL
enjoy the day everyone else!!
Happy Thursday everyone!!
LeighAnn... If it means you live closer I would have gladly GIVEN you my burger! LOL!!!
Steph - EvERYTHING around my house is a mans job... just ask him... he will tell you. He cleans, vaccums, does laundry, cars, yard. Only thing he doesnt do is cook - so... what good is clean house and clothes if you are STARVING?!? - its how i justify my existance! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Gwen - can i just say WOW.
Kristi - See you Friday girly! Sounds like you have had another GREAT week!
Brenda - you are always a great friend... and im sorry you feel like POO.
Marci - I hope the meds work well for you. Patience is a requirement with thyroid... just ask LA and me... wheeeee.
Kathi, Renee - hope the last half of the week treats you well!!
LOL, Brenda! I like how you put that....heavy insistance! :)
Tina, very good about Fred. It is a lot more fun and less daunting to cook, if you have someone to clean up afterward.....I am just the opposite. If the kitchen is clean and I am hungry, I would rather be hungry that make it dirty!
My husband is a nut when he cleans the kitchen....all glasses in super straight lines in the cabinet, plates stacked according to size, etc. But hey, what about the countertops and the floor, laundry, bathrooms, etc?..... :) He is a dishes-only kind of guy! Every little bit helps!
Steph...that is very intersting about John and his dishes LOL...I love how we all have these oddities about ourselves LMAO...
Tina..I love you're hook up...dreamy :) I'd be cooking gourmet..having the pots hanging from the ceilings LOL...OMG..I'd give the family sides of homemade chutney on their plates LOL...Oh my!! hehehehe
I should clarify for all... Fred will clean anything EXCEPT after I cook... so... it makes me keep it on the easy side. I HATE doing dishes.
LOL
I am with you Tina,
MB helps out plenty...
except for if I cook he cleans! LOL I like it that way....
but of course my house is never too clean.... we are terrible about not keeping up with it!!!!!
too many legs running around this house!
I get my new prescription today for my thyroid... been without meds for 4 days... going backwards!
I think Kristy gets the award for the most energetic response for Leigh Ann, we are all excited for you girl... but Kristy captured the moment for all of us! :)
Hi all! LMAO - you girls are all great, I just sit here and chuckle. Just spoke with Paul and they are out of school tomorrow due to extreme cold - no snow - just freezing!!!
Goin to pack:)
WOW... coooold. ICK. BRRR. Nasty.
Im gonna sit here in our warm San Diego weather and be glad im here.
Wish Ya all were here TOO!
Yep, I just got the recording from the superintendent about school out....apparently we have 3000 students who attend class in portables, and the heating units on them will not compensate for single-digit cold...I am glad they are doing it. I can't even get my child to wear a coat....not enough room in his locker for it, so he would rather be cold for a minute or two.....such a guy! I would be WEARING my coat, all day long!!! It is too cold for anything alive, outside right now, and only dropping.
Enjoy that balmy San Diego, all you California girls.....lucky!!
Leigh Ann, do me a favor and put a gallon of water and a warm blanket in your car, if you can. I worry about you on the road tomorrow!
OMG....sorry. I am such a mommy hen!!
OK...
I made Renee a new blog... will try and add it as a follower...
LA will make her a ticker, she wants to lose 8 more lbs...
:)
Steph, we all LOVE Mommy Hens!!!!
:)
Hey Marci...I will get on it:)
Stephanie, I will!
Just stopped by to say hi! Going to finish packing and all! Won't be at work long before I hit the road. Will check in with you all tonight!
Hey all..Leighann...yea!!!! you're going home :) WOW! That weather back there is crazy cold!!!! Hope you all are safe and warm!!! Steph, you're a good friend :)
Have a great Friday everyone!!!!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! YAY!!!!!
LeighAnn - I am down 1.5 lbs! YAY ME!!! Lets see if I can keep that up!
I am sooo glad its the end of the week! I hope everyone has a great weekend. Soccer is at freaking 9:40 tonight!! Thats like WAYYYY past my bed time. *sigh* Oh well ya do what cha can.
Have a great day ladies!
WTG Tina :) Gret job and no doubt you can keep it up!!
I will take a pass this weigh in Leighann...Will go for it next time around :)
Hi all.
About the weather, I'm ALMOST tempted to call my one of my relatives in Chicago and gloat at how warm it is here; I'm so bad
Bren, I'll call you when I get done at the doc today; if there's time, can we also do a Target run (to get copies of a pic made to send off to my cousin)
Hey Kathi...please forgive me but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to cancel...ok...I'm just not feeling well :( I was going to wait until the 28th..my appt that I scheduled, but I'm thinking, I need to go today after work..I'm really sorry!!!
Bren... you okay honey? Im so sorry you are feeling like crap...
Thanks Tina :) HUGS
Brenda, hoping you will feel better..... :(
Hey Tina.... glad the telecall gave you time to nap! LOL
Hey kathi!
Hey Marci;
That's ok, Bren...I'll call ya later and see when we can do it
Hi everyone!
Made it here by 3! That was like in 6 and 1/2 hours...I am sitting here in bed with Dailen watching Clean House. I can't believe how big she is! Paul just took Rayna to the movies with friends and went to get a hair cut...Mackenzie is at a sleepover b-day party at the Opryland Hotel.
It is SO incredible to be home!
Brenda, are you ok?
Tina, good luck tonight on the field and CONGRATS on the weight loss! I enjoyed getting your text today, it made me smile:)
Kathi, yea - I am missing the warm weather in SoCal!
Marci, how are you? Rayna was telling me about the picture that KK posted of her (Rayna) and Mylee - she loves that baby so!
Renee, I will get your page done this weekend:)
Gwen, I am going to call you tomorrow - I want to see that baby and the rest of your team.
Kristi, hope class is going well...Paul goes tomorrow.
Stephanie, do you think you guys can come over tomorrow - Mackenzie is having a sleepover b-day party -very low key - or would you rather do Sunday? Just must get together!
good timing LA, on your drive!
I love that you and Dailen are laying in bed getting quality baby time!!!!
Brenda, do you feel better??????
Gwen, are you able to post a picture of that sweet baby.. or is that a no no.... :)
Kristi, good luck with class.....
Kathi, I am jealous of your weather!!!!!
Tina good luck tonight.... kick ass!~!!
Renee', will try and get with you this weekend andd do a little more on your page.... love ya!
Steph, I am sure you will see LA this weekend... ya'll have fun!!!
ok... that was not Renee' that was me.... Marci...
I made Renee's blog... and
I am having SYBIL moments when posting... LOL
it's me, no it's Renee'.... LOL
OK... .I think now it is me!!!!!!!
yeah!!!!!!!!!
it worked!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hate to say this....
but the Jewelry Show is the same weekend in New Orleans!!!!!!!!
Woo Hoooooooo....
we can make a quick run... and let the boys do something else!!!!
LOL
I didn't end up going to the doctor...missed the bus; oh well
No, I didn't call one of my relatives, either; I'll email my cousin, Kathleen, though, find out just how cold it is there, and maybe rub in the fact that we're in the 80s
Brenda, how are you?
Marci, that freaked me out when you posted as Renee....got a good chuckle out of that
Yes, Leigh Ann...John talked to Paul last night, and he told me when I got up this morning that we are expected 6-ish, this evening? That's cool. I finish up around 11 or so with work, and other than housework and workout, I am free. What do I need to bring?
Ansley is excited to see her friend Kenzie, she said. :)
Everyone, here is something cute....Ansley took a very long nap today AND went to bed early, so she is sitting right beside me, watching TV and singing "Old McDonald had a farm....", but it is coming out, "Oatmeal Donald had a tarm, E-I-E-I-OOOOOOOO......"
:)
Hope everyone is resting well!
I guess leave my ticker as-is, Leigh Ann. I am still doing the 6 circuits but running too. I guess there is no way to really accurately quantify on the ticker. I am just keeping a journal.
