A quick hello from KY. Eating was not the bet but far from the worst over the weekend, and as I have said, as long as I am maintaining right now I'm fine with it. Might make some Christmas cookies for James because I want to - will find out what kinds he likes.
Reserved my OH hotel for the 26th-27th to see my cousins and best friend's family - her birthday is the 27th so I will be at her party. May or may not see my brother and niece in MI but do hope to see my dear friends in MI if they're available.
Saw rheumatologist and she took three tubes of blood. We hope my rheumatoid med will kick in in about a month. Glad to have found her - she's just smart and kind. Office staff too.
OK, cleaner is here and I must run a few more errands. Off to the races!0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. Today is grocery shopping. Mike and I bought the "Christmas Beer" yesterday for everyone as well as other "Christmas Cheer". I need to get ingredients for Christmas cookies and the pretzel salads for our choir lunch this Sunday. The lunch is a fundraiser for our cantata orchestra members. We also bought mini smoked sausages as Mike makes them for the choir lunch.
Janet: I love making Christmas cookies. I make "Reece's Peanut Butter Cups" for Greg and Lindsey, and Hershey's Kisses cookies. I also will try my sugar cookies again and attempt the decorating once again. They were pretty and good tasting last year. We always have food inbetween services on Cantata day, Dec. 17 as well, so I'll take them to that as well as our church Euchre club on the 15th. I usually only make cookies from scratch once a year. Good Luck!
Diane: You go, girl! That's wonderful that you make so many. Do you freeze just the dough or the baked cookie?
Karla: I'm doing pretty well with my water. Last night's dinner wasn't good as I make breaded eggplant. I overindulged as it tasted so good!
Waving hi to Patti and Cindy. Have a good day everyone!

Hi Ladies-
I wrote THE END on Saturday of the first draft in book one of the book and started book 2- Book 1 needs to wait a couple of weeks before I start the edit. It's like making soup- sitting a bit improves the flavor
I got into the nutrition program at the hospital. Diane- I called them to see what the had for wellness programs- to support people who are at risk for Type 2 Diabetes, which is a lot of peeps, etc. I was told about the program and encouraged to apply. Next step is the blood work and measurements- I start the first Wednesday in January for 12 weeks.
Sounds like everyone is busy with holiday hectic-ness as am I - all shopping just about done and everything purchased is wrapped.
Megan is not planning on moving back- at least not at the moment - I'm giving her the space to forge her path. But she can file for divorce right after the holidays. There was a residence requirement before she could do so. Its a tough situation and she's hanging in there- some days by a thread. She still hasn't found a decent affordable apartment but I'm sure she will after the holidays. No one wants to move now.
Need to run- waving to all.

Good morning and almost noon.
I managed to pull off a very small loss. .3 this week. After a night on the night with dinner out and one mixed drink and the Christmas party Saturday night, I was lucky here!! Probably the sodium. I have to watch it closely between now and next Tuesday for sure. This month is tough! Thursday night my group of eight is going to Carraba's for Linda's birthday. I am planning on a steak, salad and broccoli.
Bert - Sounds like you are getting it all together. When will you be back down in the Destin area? I truly want to meet you! How is Mike feeling?
Cindy - You are just moving right along on the new series woman! If only Rick was supportive so you could be a stay at home writer. But, it is what is is. Have you confirmed your convention for Ohio yet? I would like us to plan a retreat then if we can.
Diane - I saw your memory from 8 years ago on your cookies on Facebook. Yummy! Which ones freezes well? I might make some this weekend. I worked on my party list of sweets and appetizers the other day. It is looking good. I have two girlfriends coming over next Wednesday for us to make some things and have some fellowship. I'm making a brownie Christmas wreath I saw on Facebook and some gooey sugar cookies and some crockpot candy. Bourbon meatballs and a shrimp corn chowder. It's going to be fun!!
I wish all of you could come to my party!! Please do plan to come if you want. It is the 16th of this month starting at 7pm. I am in Grand Bay, Alabama, just outside of Mobile.
Janet - How are you and James doing? Has he gained some weight since he's been there? I know he enjoys your company immensely. Who wouldn't? You would love the throw I just made for Linda. It has the pink soft plush on the back like yours.
I am at work for a short time today but have a recheck with my Endodonist on my Root canal I had done last year this afternoon. Tomorrow I have a hair appointment. Thursday I have Izzy time and then Linda's birthday.
Yesterday I had my teeth cleaned and they found a small cavity I have to have filled after the first of next year, followed by the crown that was just approved by both of my dental carriers. I was really afraid I had a bad condition starting behind my bottom front teeth. But, it was only some bad calcium buildup that showed up just suddenly. I thought I might be facing that flap Patti had to have!!
I better get back to helping the doctor on is training. We are moving along on our conversion.
So nice catching up with you all.

Good Morning Ladies-
Welcome to hump day.
I've switched up my breakfast to a greek yogurt, added some nuts to my daily diet and trying to eat one plate at dinner, with nothing after except on the weekend. Nothing to radical but I am feeling a bit lighter when I wake up in the morning and that's a good thing for me.
The program at the hospital is focused on total well being so nutrition is one component- there's cooking, life stress and movement. It would be a real treat if we got to go to Canyon Ranch for something during the 12 weeks- its about 15 minutes from my house and just beautiful there.
Rick wanted to watch WWE last night, yuck, so i wrote 5 pages in the new book. He meeting his son tonight so I can edit to my hearts content in book 1 for a few hours.
Karla- things such as busy for you in AL. I've been watching the news on your upcoming election. Such a hot mess.
Janet- What's new pussycat? LOL
Bert- how's the water yesterday- did you get enough in?
Diane- How old is Elise? As us veterans of motherhood we know this too shall pass but its hard for new Mom's- have fun baking and then getting cookies in the freezer before anymore hop in you mouth. I have that problem too.... I'm going to ask Em to come back with me so I stay in check.
Patti- Big waves...
I'm not sure if I'm getting into the Ohio conference. But I will be in West Virginia in November, King of Prussia in May and August. All for author events.
I think Janet and Patti though the West Virginia location was close to them. Its in Huntington- first weekend.
OK- back to the day job.

Good Morning, Ladies. Today is going to partially be spent straightening up the house as Mike is working today. I'll mop and sweep the floor and clean bathrooms. My cleaning girl/friend as been sparce the last few months. I should get a new girl, but at least I'm saving money. Then the rest of the day will be running errands.
Cindy: I did well on water. Yesterday's eating was pretty good. I'm going to check with my local hospital to see if there are any nutrition/weight loss programs. I know they have a diabetes program, but am not sure about anything else. Good luck with your editing. Editing is becoming a lost art with my students, I believe.
Karla: I have no clue about being back in the Destin area. That vacation was an anniversary reunion with Mike's friend and wife. The guys were all part of the wedding party. They have a time share with Wyndam. Mike is doing much better. He joined a local gym, so he's excited about that.
Waving hi to Janet, Diane, and Patti. Have a great day, everyone!

Hi all.
Eating is slowly getting a bit better and that is all I care about right now.
Cindy, glad you're getting editing time. WWE isn't my cup of anything either. I've always thought Canton Ranch or Kripalu would be wonderful (but pricey - maybe your program will get you there - fingers crossed). Huntington is eminently drivable for me - King of Prussia is vastly farther. We have plenty of time to plan.
Bert, I like to bake cutter cookies, spritz cookies, Mexican wedding balls and make bourbon balls. It was the one time of year we used real butter, once I convinced Mom it made a difference with a blind taste test.
Diane, I have babysat for very fussy babies - without the extra layer of emotional attachment you have for a grandchild. Sweet Elise has no other way to express herself yet but once she is old enough to be engaged and distracted I bet your days will be less fraught.
Karla, glad your dental issues are minor!
Busy girl here, in a good way - Christmas prep looms. James will help me decorate the trees this week - it will be fun. We watched "Elf" last night and he is fine with my Christmas music obsession. OK, onward with my day = hugs to all.0 -
Good evening ladies.
Cindy- Our State is a complete embarrassment when it comes to politics!! A hot mess is putting it mildly. This Roy Moore is awful and I won't be surprised if he makes it in. I am not voting for him and he is with my party. I will vote against him. I'm so excited for you for getting into the hospital program. I know it will be a well rounded program for you in many ways.
Janet - I guess you answered my question about the trees. Smile. I love the cookies you mentioned. I totally agree about the real butter in cookies. It is an absolute must!!
Bert - I guess I will have to come up and see you!!
I am going to run to Wally World this late. Glenn is on my last nerve!!
Karla0 -
Good morning all. I have been so busy I haven't had the time to participate much in the conversation.Trying to keep Elise amused and happy, get the Christmas cookies baked, the house decorated and Elise's stocking done has me busy every minute!
Janet, I normally use nothing but real butter year round, but I am having to adapt my cookies to non-dairy, non-soy. It has been a challenge. Some of the ingredients are so hard to find substitutes for! I have been to Whole foods three times in the past two weeks, after not going there for probably two years. I found a brand of chocolate morsels that is free of dairy, soy and nuts. Now I am trying to figure out how much sugar to omit from my chocolate pixies recipe if I am using semi sweet morsels rather than the unsweetened baking chocolate it calls for. They also have sticks of non-diary, non-soy butter substitute, which is better for baking than the tub spreads. And a cream cheese and a yogurt product I can use.
All that said, I used real butter in the shortbread cookies. And I can't adapt the seven layer bars, and all the decorator frostings I have found have soy (for the gingerbread men.) But there will be six varieties of cookies that Rossanne can eat, so I declare that a success.
Eating has not been great - it has been a situation of what is in the house. I have been waiting until Elise goes down for her early nap and then fixing myself an eggbeaters, veggies and cheese omelet for breakfast - so I wait until a little later to eat, and my breakfast is lower cal than I was eating. I'm not doing well at tracking though - I just can't seem to recreate that habit.
Our water softener system is leaking - John will have to rebuild it again this weekend (He is gone for his consulting job this week.) It doesn't leak onto the basement floor, but leaks past which means the treatment isn't right. That means the water tastes terrible right now. I have to get to the store to get some bottled water to drink, and to wash Elise's bottles with. This started last weekend, John thought he had it fixed, then it started again yesterday.
Waving to everyone else.

Hi Ladies-
A quick check in as its a hectic day- but just wanted to say HELLO
Have a wonderful day.
Cindy0 -
Hi, all. I'm home from a true treat - lunch with Patti! She says hi - looks great and is extremely busy and also very happy these days. Her mom is doing well - eye doc visit was positive, and the rest of the family are all fine. She's been crafting when she's not working and she looks relaxed even though her time is more than fully occupied - I felt honored to snag a couple of hours on her day off. We laughed a lot - you were all there with us in spirit.
Had a tiny adventure on my way home - no worries, all is well. My scary tire-pressure light came on a few miles into my drive. I used Siri to locate the nearest Hinda dealer, which turned out to be five minutes away. Went there and explained the situation; they got a service tech, who suggested he get all the tires to proper pressure and rest the indicator. He said he couldn't imagine I'd have a problem getting the rest of the way home. They did it without charge, too, so I called the service manager after i got past the Cinci traff-ick to say thank you.
Diane, I use real butter now too, but we always used margarine )Mom called it oleo) when I was a kid. Having six varieties for Rossanne is a huge victory - hope she appreciates the effort and love you've put into ensuring she has safe treats.
Tired here - been a long week. Hope to get at least a good start on christmas decorating tomorrow, and also have a much-needed manicure.
See y'all tomorrow!0 -
Hello Friends-
I'm very happy its Friday- been a busy week as most are- eating has been pretty good and considering my stress levels I'll take the accomplishment- each day I feel slightly empty but not really super hungry until dinner when I fill up with a ton of veggies along with the protein and some sort of starch. I've incorporated a handful of nuts each day which I think is helping me.
Janet- so glad you have time with Patti. I'm sure she knows how much she's missed but sometimes we all just need to become a turtle and peek our head back out when we're ready.
Karla- How was wallyworld? You must have had a busy day yesterday with the car excitement. Glad you arrived home safely
Diane- you are very sweet to bake the treats that will let Roseanne enjoy something special. Big hugs.
Bert- I'll be you can find a new girl after the holidays who will come as arranged. Did you get your water in yesterday?
I'll be out of pocket over the weekend- writing and doing some holiday stuff. Also I have a romance writer meeting Saturday afternoon at the library about 45 minutes again. I may go over early and sit in the space to absorb all the great writers
Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Good morning ladies and welcome to a cold and rainy Friday in the Gulf. The Mississippi Coast schools are closed today. It is only 35 degrees here!!
We had a wonderful night out with friends for Linda's birthday. My niece-in-law, Brittany, lol, rocked the DMV yesterday and obtained her driver's license. Glenn and I took Izzy to her dance and did some more Christmas shopping. It was a great day and evening.
SCALE PEEK; So excited!! My Friday peek showed 187.2!! Yep, I am continuing to drop, one ounce at a time. This is also after eating out twice yesterday. So I am stoked.
Diane- I saw those beautiful, and an abundance, of decorated Christmas cookies. Please post a picture of your awesome Gingerbread cookies, as I love the way you do those scarves!! I also liked the comment you made earlier about how relaxed and out of touch you are with the goings on of business at the Navy yard with you being retired. We feel the same with the shipyard since Glenn retired. It is so much a part of your life when you are so engrossed when working there, but not, when you aren't. Life really moves on.
Cindy - I know you are crazy busy. I appreciate that even on hectic days you stop in and say HELLO.
Janet - Glad you had a great visit with Patti.
Bert - What do you have on the agenda for this weekend? You have been the busy bee yourself with your church and friend activities. I love hearing about all the plays you are involved in with your church.
Glenn is already up with me this morning. I am making us healthy omelets before I head out for some more training at the Podiatry office. Then I am going up to Citronelle to pick JJ and his cousin up to spend the weekend with us. Jason has both Saturday and Sunday off and told me he has a lot of running around to do since he has been working nonstop, soooo, I will be getting little Izzy too. She turns SIX on Wednesday. Wow, the time flies. I am also going to get my great-nephew tomorrow, Blagg, to join in the group for the day. LOL. He is my niece Heather's son. The grandson of my older brother, Kenny, whom lives outside of Dothan, Alabama. I haven't seen him or his daughter, Heather, the mother of Blagg, since my mother's funeral in 2012.
Well, I have rattled on enough. Have a wonderful day everyone, and keep warm!!

Good Morning, Ladies. It's very cold this morning, but sunny. I'll take it!
Janet: So glad you had lunch with Patti. Glad all is well with her. I have a Honda, too. I panic when I see the tire light on. Most of the time for me, it's something in the tire; however, this last time ( a few weeks ago) only required air in the tires. My Honda doesn't indicate which tire is low as my car is a 2011. I'm glad you got to a nearby dealer.
Cindy: I'll bet the writer meetings are inspiring. Yes, I got in my water. I'm doing much better with it but some days are more challenging than others.
Karla: I'm so happy for you. This weekend is our choir lunch to make money for our cantata orchestra. Saturday evening we are watching Jillian and Cole. Today I'm working on church power point for the worship service and mailing peanut butter fudge to my brother for Christmas.
Have a great day, everyone!!
Waving hi to Diane and Patti.

I'm attaching a picture to show you all my lighter hair do. I have been having it highlighted in blonde and ligh red. I can't get my pictures to post on here, so will be attachment. Sorry.
Bert- you are such a blessing to your congregation. Enjoy your grandkids.

Karla, the color looks lovely! Congrats on nearly reaching 30 - you'll be there very soon. Hard to believe Izzy is going to be 6. You'll have a busy house this weekend for sure!
Bert, mine is also a 2011, so jut the one scary light as well. Not something you want to see on a busy interstate for sure. Haven't looked at the car yet this morning.
Diane, the pics you posted of Elise are melting my heart!
Cindy, you made me smile with the idea of soaking up the literary greats at the library - just the ind of thoughts I have sometimes - osmosis!
Slept pretty well last night - having coffee now, plus an EAS protein shake, and hope to get a lot done today.
Wishing everyone a terrific weekend.0 -
Karla- hair looks great- cut and color. 0

Thanks everyone. It is snowing down here!!! I am just North of Mobile picking JJ up and the cars ere that have been sitting are covered and the rain is freezing that is falling. It is only 34 degrees!! Very rare for us. Glenn has put a big crock pot of chili on for the kids.
Janet - Did Patti say why she quit posting on the board?
Karla0 -
Good Morning, Ladies. I'm watching Jillian and Cole this evening. Greg's school Christmas party is tonight. Mike is going to the ISU basketball game and out to dinner with friends from his college days. We all will have fun this evening.
I slept pretty well last night, for me. I usually toss and turn all night. I'm sure sleeping better last night will give me energy for my grandkids!
Breakfast is tracked.
Have a great day, everyone!0 -
Good morning, all - hoping for a busy, productive day here.
Karla, enjoy the snow. We didn't get any but I am seeing pics on Facebook from my southern friends. Love it (and envy them!). Patti and I talked only briefly about the board - we had so much to catch up on.
Bert, have fun with the kiddies. Glad you slept well - as you said, you'll need the energy for Cole & Jillian!
Hungry here - might be an oatmeal morning.
Have a great day, everyone!0 -
Good morning ladies. Fun times with the grandkids in the snow. It is a white Christmas in the South.
Janet - I understand the position you are in. I won't ask again. I do hope one day she will feel comfortable enough to return because I do truly miss her.
Bert - I know you will have a wonderful time as you are the grandmother extroidinairre!! Will you be baking and decorating cookies?
I made the tooth fairy pillow last night and it came out so cute!! I had a little hitch with the ribbon, but it worked out.
I am finishing the Flamingo throw and Glenn has cut and pinned the Florida Gator's throw for me next.
Have a great day.

Hello all - it is snowing here too. Not much but the prediction is for more. We were supposed to go to a Christmas party tonight but it was rescheduled for next weekend. They were afraid of having someone slip and fall. It is not sticking to the roads, but is covering the driveway and sidewalks. My son and his wife are having their Christmas party tonight anyway - Carrie is going but we were not invited. No hard feelings - it is for their friends their age. I'm glad they included Carrie, and she is taking some cookies. I have six varieties finished. All are dairy/soy free except the shortbread cookies.
Eating - I'm just trying to make smart choices, push the F/V, and drink lots of zero calorie beverages. I just can't get into tracking right now. I'm within a half pound of the weight I arrived home at six weeks ago. So not losing, but not gaining, with very limited exercise. I'll take it if I can just keep that through the holidays.
Carrie and I found the perfect fleece for her to make one of those tie fleeces for Elise. Her palette seems to be (from all the clothes Rossanne dresses her in) mint, coral pink, gray and teal. And Rossanne is a dog person, while we are cat people. That is the genesis of the "my kitty is my favorite toy" posts on FB. So the two fleeces we found are a darker grey background with pink, mint and silver paw prints grouped into hearts, and a silver grey fleece with dark grey kitty outlines with pink cheeks. It will be perfect!

Good Sunday morning ladies.
Oh Diane, what a gorgeous array of cookies. Once I dispurse all these kids I am heading to the store for all my ingredients and the cookie making will begin around here. I want to go ahead and make the sugar cookie mix and have it it the freezer and ready to defrost for Wednesday when my friends come over. We had a beautiful white amount of snow for one overnight and morning. it looked so pretty. The kids had a wonderful time in it. It was Izzy's first time seeing it.
The kids are all having a ball. It's sunny and a little warmer today and they have been out in my big back yard riding the zip line and playing on the other swings. Then they were out front on the driveway with the scooters and bikes. Earlier it was the Wii game. No wonder they love it over here. I can't believe I braved taking four kids out to eat on my own. LOL. I thought of my dear mother taking us over to England going through multiple State and airports with 5 kids!!
Today we are finally getting the family photo Glenn has been wanting from my son and his family of four kids. We purchased a large collage that says Family in the middle and holds for landscape 5x7 photo's. We have the one's from our other three families. Glenn is anxious to put this together. Glenn just told me he was ready for me to take them all home. lol.
Cindy - I hope you have had the weekend you wanted and also got some rest before another crazy week starts.
I am off to take the first kid, my great nephew home. One down and 3 to go!

Hello from a very Happy and Blessed Karla. My heart is full from the grandchildren, great nephews and family I am surrounded by. I have laughed myself silly at JJ's little cousin this weekend. He is absolutely hilarious and is only 8 years old. My great nephew, Blagg, had a great time with all the kids. We even had the 4yo girl next door over some and had five and one time. LOL.
I had quite an awakening today. As the two boys and I were walking up to Walmart this afternoon I caught my shadow. At first I looked around, as I didn't think it was my shadow. Yes, my legs looked skinny and straight down!! I mean, I am no where near skinny yet, But my legs, I guess especially in the smaller sizes, looked very narrow in this shadow. I didn't say anything to my grandson or his cousin. But it sure brought a grin to my face. I told Glenn when I arrived home and he said "well baby, 30 pounds is a lot of weight to lose."
It is quiet now, it's just us. Glenn is working on his collage and I just ate myself an egg white omelet. I found the Ole' wraps in a spinach and herb flavor, same net carbs. I'm thinking these will be great for my turkey cheese and cranberry pinwheels for my party. I bought several packs as I also think these will be my sandwich wraps too!!
I have the Hallmark station on until Madame Secretary comes on at 9p.
My brother Keith will be coming Thursday or Friday. I'm only working Monday and Tuesday, the rest of the week off. The 26th we will be leaving to go to Panama City and I have the condo on the beach.
I need to go track my dinner. I'm doing good, but this month has been really tough and it's only the 10th!
I'll check in sometime tomorrow.

Good Morning, Ladies. Breatkfast is tracked. Today is gift wrapping day after a visit to the gym. My students are finally submitting assignments (the end of the semester is Friday). I'm irrated at their neglect to hand in assignments in a timely manner. I understand they are taking other classes, but this sends would send a red flag to me if I were a potential employer.
My gym workout will be focusing on arms and cardio. I do pretty well at the gym, but, like Patti, I'm not fond of the treadmill. It's too cold to walk outside, so I'm sucking it up and will walk to "nowhere".
Have a great day, everyone!

Good Monday morning, and a good morning it is. My scale peek today before my official clinic weigh in tomorrow, showed 185.6!!! I know I was very careful over the weekend, no bite, licks or tastes when cooking. No nibbles on the kid's snacks. Only very healthy foods for me. This program really, really works.
Have any of you heard of the new program that Weight Watchers just rolled out last week? My other board on Facebook is all talking about it. They have lowered everyone's points and made proteins free!! Finally getting onboard with proteins like Janet and I have always thought they should. Also dealing with carbs. Making breads, rice and pasta a high point value. They had already done this, as far as making sweets a high point value, with sweet on the last program change earlier this year. Some of the ladies really love it and some of the ladies are in shock with the lower points and trying to adapt. It actually is very similar to the Simply Filling program they have always had.
Bert - These Student teachers don't know how lucky they have it with your mentoring. If only they would take fully advantage of it! You are rocking focusing on your health and eating. I plan on hitting my dvd's after the first of the year on a regular basis. I think my back is ready.
I am straightening and decluttering my home this morning after a whirlwind of kids this weekend. I am picking up the beautiful Beach/shell wreath I ordered today after work. I can't wait to see how it pulls together the last of the décor in the back bay window area. I have been working on the lighted garland for the fireplace this morning. It was the last thing for the living room. Down to the wire here as Saturday is my party.
Waving hi to Cindy, Janet and Diane.
Have a wonderful day.
Karla0 -
Good evening to a very slow board today.
Just wanted to give a shout out to wish Diane a very Happy Birthday!!
Glenn and I met after I got off work, a very short work day today. Walmart received another big chunk of our money, lol. I think I will take off tomorrow and do more decorating and get a jump on my cookies before the ladies come over Wednesday. I forgot Glenn had his recheck with his colon doctor on Wednesday morning, he will be fine to go alone. The weather forecast for Saturday is looking good.
I'm going to go rest and watch the Voice.

Good Morning Ladies-
It is very hectic in MA the last few days. Rick has been really good lately. I hoping its more than a holiday high. He bought me a new exercise bike for Christmas, one I've been looking at. He wants to support my WL- again, not sure what has come over him. Maybe he finally sees the women in my family won't put up with BS forever. Meg is getting divorced - definitely and it is the best thing for her. She has turned herself inside out for her husband and step son and all they've done is be very unkind and she feels like she became less than nothing. Very long and sad story but she is strong and moving on.
Magic is finally available on Amazon as a e-book. It got screwed up and it got thrown into pre-order. Have no idea why. But at least its live. I know to not release a book in December too. Sales have been off.
Diane- your cookies look amazing- do you ship? LOL
Need to run- but wishing everyone a magical kind of day.
Cindy0
