Learn to embrace change, and you'll begin to recognize that life is in constant motion, and every change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place, and your life becomes a journey of change that always finds its way."

What ya'll, Marci?
Tina, happy shopping...ugh!
Hey girlie!
Love the quote! and I want to be in that picture!
Happy Monday all!
Hi all!! :) Love to read about the scool shopping Marci and the preps from you too Tina !! Leighann...I guess the kiddies are at school by now...did yours start today too Marci??
LOL...I didn't do any back to school shopping for kiddies...but I did take myself shopping for clothes etc yesterday :) It was really nice to get some nice things for myself and got a new haircut and carwash LOL...Wonderful!! etc....
Ben is good..Steve took him back last night...poor guy is looking for a new co driver...James was let go due to all the speeding tickets he's gotten...So this weekend home wasn't for his normal time off but just to get him out of the truack for a couple days...his boss is sooo nice to him and is trying to help him find temps as he looks for a permanent one...they don't want my bro to lose the truck that's been assigned to him...it's a new one..and Ben is the lead driving assigned to it..so no co driver would mean he could lose it and then he would have to become a co driver with someone else...it any of this makes sense LOL
Leighann...was the table you got for the dining room?? or was it a side table :) Congrats on your weightloss!!! I was looking for something for Maggie's bday at the swap meet and some souveneirs (sp?)
Marci...hows the meds working out for Gabbi?? Anyword on the car accident issues??
Tina...did your parent's get off on their trip ok?? I'd love to see the pics of it..if they take pics :)
Hey Kathi!!!!!! How was the reunion??
PS I really love the quote on this weeks check in...and the lady quote above too!!
Hey ladies... real quick before i go to my meeting i wanted to say hi~ Love you all and Happy Monday!
O M G ... The reunion was so much fun, you guys!!! The whole weekend was. It kicked off on Friday with happy hour down at Lounge Six in the Gaslamp Quarter(a popular tourist destination, Marci); it was on top of the Hotel Solamar's restuarant..about 70 people came, most of whom showed up after I left (sister picked me up at 8)...Saturday was the reunion at The Bristol Hotel, again downtown. By the time everyone got there, I'd say there was about 200 of our class there (plus their spouses, g/f's, etc), so walking around and mingling got to be a little difficult...it was so weird to see everyone after so long (and some didn't go to the 10th, so I hadn't seen them in the entire 20 years), so names didn't come to me that well; but others was like it was yesterday I had seen 'em (mostly due to facebook, but some I did actually remember); sister p/u at midnight....Yesterday was supposed to be an organized thing at the Padres game, but hardly anyone showed up...I was two people from the class as I was leaving the park (and OMG, LA, were you ever right about Petco...there is so much more to do there than watch the game)....I tell ya guys, I've never been just so physically spent in my life; it was great to get out and be social and see people, but I am so frickin tired from going non stop since Friday; I heard one of my classmates say that from now on the reunions start spreadin way out; I think there's a 25 and then 50!!! GEEZ, we'll all have canes by then
WOW Kathi!!!!! That's very exciting to hear about :) So happy for you and your weekend to shine with your schoolmates!! Wonderful!!

LOL...for sure Marci!! LOL...I will bring it...made myself a note :) I didn't walk at lunch!!! UGH...I'm a downer on my own motivational seminar that I had LOL..Oh well...for sure will be riding my bike after work!!
Glad the kiddies are back in school for you Marci and Leighann..I'm sure you'll be signing all sorts of papers ..gosh I remember that first week LOL
I think Tina's girl's go back right after the labor day weekend..right Tina??
Probably so Brenda, b/c they were still in school after ours got out... I think 3 or 4 weeks afterwards....
Motivation is not my thing lately.... must find it!
I am down a few lbs... not sure how many....I must get back into checking in and weighing...
:) Happy THursday evening everyone!
Marci,
Yes! I want to see a picture of Brenda on her mat! And here's to us and freaking school...LOL! Congrats on the weight loss:P
Brenda,
Well, your motivation seminar kicked me into gear, I am down a pound or so - you are not a downer! Hope you get to walk today.
As for me, I am getting ready to have my morning nervous breakdown, trying to get the girls on the bus...Paul always did this, not me. I am going to lecture the drivers and ask them why one is late and one is early and how in the hell do they expect me to figure out exactly WHEN they are going to pick up my children...Sigh, oh, well! It is Friday and I am SO VERY GLAD!
I can't imagine the logistics of that Leighann...each one at a different school...hope you get it straightened out...and I sooo feel for you!!
Yes...cheers to Friday and for us finding our exercise zen!! :) Getting off track is so easy to do but I find it harder to get it back..UGH!! I was telling my friend I bike with...that very same thing..It was exhausting getting back into my riding..but now it feels good again :) the gym too Tina...UGH...in 2 weeks it will be nothing but OT for me at work..so I'll have to rely on walking only at work
BTW...Yes, forgot my yoga mat...it's ok...I will walk x 3 today :D
This morning went A LOT better than yesterday, maybe there's hope for me yet!
I did work out on the treadmill - three days in a row - a new record for me...LOL!
Happy walking, Brenda, UGH, to the overtime next week.
Hey ladies! Happy Friday is right!!
CRAZY ass week but just so glad to have my boy home. The AF did a number on his confidence... not letting him stay... but we can fix that cuz hes a GREAT kid and has so much to look foward to in life.
Sorry i have been MIA lately... just very busy getting things straightened out.
Im up a 1/2 lb. No gym this week.. but soccer tonight!
Hey all!!
WTG Marci on your weightloss!!
and you Leighann..on you treadmill..glad this AM was smoother!!!
Hey Tina...and yes...Zach is going to be fine!! He's got great people who care about him! family AND freinds!!
My OT for work is tomorrow..UGH! then I won't be working it next week because we have to do prep work for our annual tray landscape show at the park..SOOOO the following week..unfortunately I have to work the OT...I am not an OT kinda gal LOL...but, I'm a teamplayer..
PS...I'm flat!!!
Yuck, overtime...blah; but I guess it's more money
I can't believe the frickin AF wouldn't let Zach stay....why would they do that? Do they think he's not tough or strong enough? I'm baffled. Well, at least you got your bubba back
Me, I'm cleaning out my drawers and donating/throwing away clothes that I haven't worn in a while, don't fit me or have chewiness stuff on it (I sometimes chew on my collars)....that's the reason I've been MIA - that, and still kind of recovering from last weekend
Love you all too; and yes, I have a farm, Brenda (I'm gonna ask you to be my neighbor)
Happy Saturday all!!
Yep...I'm at work LOL...in my sweats..slippers and a hat LOL..crawled out of bed LOL
Hey Kathi...It's such a good feeling to go through stuff isn't it!! WTG!!! Sunday I'm cleaning my closet...well it's a goal anyway!!
Tina...How was the game last night??
In the sense of getting rid of crap to make room for other crap, yeah it is; but I had a breakdown today when I saw a few articles of my mom's clothes that I'm just not ready to let go of yet...I know they're material things and I'll always have my memories, but whenever I wear a shirt of hers, though it may be huge on me, it feels like I'm getting a hug from her........ I miss those
