Morning all,
Well really bad day yesterday, had to kick dd out of house. I sometimes wonder had did my child becomes this. Well anyway this is the second times it happen and I realize everytime she gets a boyfriend we go thru this. So totally bummed
Well I am down 2 pounds, weight in at 255, dont know how considering all I did was eat last night due to the stress. Well at work talk to you all later0 -
jacque -- ugh..... sorry to hear about the challenges. One of my friends had a really rocky time w/their teenager. Now the girl is 26 and her best friend is her Mom (aka my friend). So, gave me hope one day my young teenager will change.
Wii told me I was down to 166. Remember wii and I have a yo-yo relationship. So.... I like the numbers but being realistic. Next week wii may hate me.
Last night after I logged all my food and hit done..... I pigged out on hostess cupcakes. Frozen mind you. Why, um, stress. I got thinking of hubby medical and went for one frozen cupcake after another. His buddy came in the kitchen & stopped me. (only cuz he stole my cupcake!)0 -
hello ladies....well, I am up .2 today. could have been worse...could have (wanted it to be) been better. I have had a peach and some pecans so far...and have **twice** looked in my cupboards for something sugary....compared a cereal box of Apple Blasts and a poptart...both foods I rarely eat. put them back. looked a loaf of 12 grain bread....too many ingredients (preservatives). don't want any of the foods I normally eat...now I am thinking of baking some cookies....M & M, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip....Don't know if I can win this one....and I think if I just maybe get out of the kitchen - dining area, I may beat this. Oh, there's plenty of good things I could - should do. Exercise, clean the bathroom, put dishes away, do some laundry. OR be creative and bead jewelry. Something I am feeling physically is tired. Maybe I should just go back to bed and start my day all over again.....
Jacque ~ frustrations...sorry about this. Like Barb, I have a dear friend who's dd really rebelled her Jr.-Sr. years, and into the year or so after high school. She is now almost 21 and is living at home again ( while going to college ) and has a sweet bond with her mom now. Hang in there. I see so many parents who just allow their children to do whatever....and there is NO respect. I know what you did was a hard choice to make....but I am proud of you....you did what you had to. I know someday the air will clear and she will understand.....she does love you...... hang in there ((hugs))
Barb ~ your cupcake raid reminded me of some Ho Ho invasions my siblings and I always shared at my grandparents house (here). my gma kept them below her range (stove). on the inside of the cupboard doors, hung her cooking utensils...and every time we opened the door, all of the ladles and such would clang and make noises we so badly tried to avoid. Nobody wanted to be accused of taking Grandma's Ho Ho's!
Congrats on the losses girls!! Happy for ya!
still undecided here....hungry yes, it's physical. oh, what to do....someone just TELL me!!0 -
Kelly - you can get in the car - drive to NJ. I'll ditch working this weekend and we'll hit the casinos on the Atlantic City strip. No need to gamble.. just watch others lose their money, do a little window shopping, have a nice meal, walk the boardwalk, perhaps the 70/80s Dance party "Boogie Nights" at Tropiciana. Who doesn't like the 80s music?
Speaking of which, my teen idol (and still makes my heart beat faster) is playing at Brognata soon. Saw it on fb... want to go....want to go...want to go.... need a friend to go with me..... want to to go.....
TGIF -- and so far I have no motivation to do any work projects -- been on MFP, FB, hotmail, emailing work friends in other states, texting.....
Could be I need to work this weekend and I'm not thrilled about it.
I need to finish this brief so I guess I'll screw my head on now....0 -
lol... Barb, ya know, all I need is a reason...and **you** listed some very good ones.....how long of a drive is that? I truly believe what Cindy said the other day as well....we WILL all meet someday!! it's on my Bucket List! I boogie my best to the 70's and 80's and even better with some good ol' Sangria!
Ok, so I ended up having some liquid.. an 8 oz.Vanilla Bean Latte...brewed in my microwave....can't say I enjoyed it, cuz it was soo good it only took about 5 min to polish off...now I feel full....and toasty!0 -
ROAD TRIP!!!! I so want to get away too. need to save up some vacation time so I can take a week off and get out of here0
-
Unsure of drive... may take some time..
SO, how about an inexpensive flight to AC international?
Still haven't screwed on my head....
b0 -
Hey Barb who the teen idol? One of mine just got arrested0
-
so....I was curious about a trip East....miles, over 1,000, and 17:37 hrs to drive.....flights, well, this has been very difficult. our airport has no flights to ACY. now St Paul, MN does as well as Chicago. St Paul is 4 hrs from here, and Chicago, eh, bout 5. I found, cheapest from Cedar Rapids > Philly, round trip $240 (that's with all taxes/fees). that was for a visit in early Feb '11. Allegiant *the plane that travels many of the gamblin' cities*, has flights from our Cedar Rapids to FL, AZ and Las Vegas.....but none to AC? anyway....just thought I'd share my search....it's kinda exciting!!0

Jacque - Rick Springfield - his US breakout hit was "Jesse's Girl" from Working Class Dog album (ok, I had it on 8 track!)
He was also on General Hospital for a bit.
Kelly, I knew you would research it.
Given enough notice, I could pull off a girls getaway in Vegas. February is enough notice.... And if I do my income taxes early.
I'm ready...0 -
hey, if any of you seriously want to meet, I am on the plane..just let me know when and where! so, yesterday was not good for eating and today has started off horribly. done with the damage. gonna get outside soon and finish what I started a few days ago. have a good weekend ladies! be good to yourselves....eat drink move...:flowerforyou:0
-
Seriously, it would be great. I am interested in attending.
I took a "me" trip in 2009 to visit a girlfriend in Germany, so yes, I want to do another "me" trip in 2011 to visit more girlfriends.
Toss out some destintation ideas. My passport is valid..... can do outside US.
My quick thought ideas - some place with mild weather, a variety of attractions/sights, hotel, food and entertainment value.
Ladies, I keep thinking about Vegas.
Just a few questions -
Are we including spouses/family members? I'm fine with or without. Estimate me without.
Anyone interested in sharing a room to reduce costs? I'm fine with this.
I was over calories yesterday since I didn't make the time to exercise. Ended up working late, then home to stuff pizza in my mouth before Girl Scout meeting. After meeting, I felt too tired to do anything but read & sleep.
If I could have hit curves or end of work day fitness period, I would have been under calories... it was that close.
I'm working this weekend... blah....0 -
agree with all you mentioned Barb. passport is current here. I would likely be traveling solo as well. room sharing, yes.
18 yr old son that just graduated from HS came home ( from going out last nite ) around 7:30ish THIS AM. I was laying on the couch, dh was in kitchen / dining where ds came in. I could not visibly see him. I hear dh say hi, and hear 2 PPL answer, my ds and a GIRL?????:noway: they go thru the kitchen and head downstairs to the basement!!!:noway: I ask my dh who the chick was and he says 'I don't know'???? I am right above them and can hear the tv on....and they are talking. It's been 2 hrs and it is driving me insane! dh left an hour ago to his parents to chop some wood...........I just have a feeling this is a HS girl:noway: 7:30am on a Sunday???? and as well....where did my son spend the nite???????:noway: Q & A session sometime today!!:grumble:0 -
Kelly, oh my..... I do have this saying "Don't ask the question unless you really want to know the answer."
Of course as parents we want to know the answer .......at times.... we don't want to know the answer...... You decide if you need to know the answer.
My eating habits are crap today.... 3 homemade cookies from a co-worker was morning snack & lunch. And for lunch ladies, I had a medium vanilla shake from burger king....
Instead of grabbing a salad, I went to the base exchange and purchased baby girl outfits (no, not for me). I was invited to a baby shower today but can't go because I have military duty. All the outfits were 50% off. So, I had to get a handful of outfits in different sizes up to 24months. I overspendt but what the hey.....
Monday will be a start of a new week.....0 -
I am soooo wanting to see Rick Sprinfeild I sooo love him. Well I would love to so the trip and def solo. def need to share a room too.
So ate like a fiend Friday and Saturday so feeling very sluggish today so as soon as I am done tying this I am going for a walk and then I really need to get the laundry done0 -
ok I been eating so bad today that even afer walking 3.6 miles I only have 200 calories left for dinner. Salad it it that for sure :frown:0
-
Jacque
what location are you interested in?0 -
Cheapest hahahah I guess what ever easiest for every one. I need to do it over a weekend to have more time since I am short on time from being out sick. R we planning this for after the Holidays?0
-
today HAS to be productive...my 'to do' list better have some check marks by days end!! in the 60's here....we have been so blessed with a beautiful Fall. I just cannot believe this. I allowed way, way, waaaaaaay too many carbs, sugar and salty foods this weekend. UGH! feelin' it in my gut and seein' it in my face! here's to a better day.
my son? discussion did not happen......and it WAS a Sr. HS girl. oldest son called home from college....good visit. Really missin' him lately...
goals for today? plan! c'mon ladies.....let's do this! make today count! love to you all

I continue to vote in w/Vegas AFTER the holidays..... say February or March.
Gives us a chance to recover from the holidays (lose any weight the Christmas cookies may have put on us) and chance to save funds to finance our get together. Plus gives those who need to make child care arrangements time to do that.
My estimate is pick a month, send your availability. For example I know what military weekends I have to work & what my Scout committments are.
For February, I can do the 1st weekend and the 3rd weekekend.
For March, I can do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weekend.
Right now, I'm estimating I'll have availability to be away for 4-5 days. It's ok if we can't do the same amount of time.... so if some can only do 2 days - that's what we have.
A co-worker suggested Bally's since it's in the middle of the Vegas strip.0 -
Vegas sounds good to me, If wee do it in march I can add up more Vac time, and money. my sis husband goes every year wso I am going to see what he suggest
Suck in meetings all day headed home0 -
How's Vegas in March? Good for me!
Let's shoot for that!0 -
evenin' gang! March is good for me....my bday is the 17th, so would prefer 1st, 2nd or 4th weekend. July of '09 I stayed at the Imperial Palace....center of strip as well, not a fancy hotel by any means, but we were only in the room to shower and sleep...so it was good enough for that. This sounds like a good time in Vegas baby!!0
-
I'm good w/a good enough place.
So, let's roll with this... March.... 2nd or 4th weekend.
I'm not able to do the first weekend.
I'm ready to buy airline tickets...... damn w/credit card balance.... momma needs a getaway.0 -
Work may have a trip for me in March.
I say let's firm up dates.... so I can politely decline out of the trip.
VEGAS BABY! Of course, I'll be more professional than that.0 -
Sounds good to me, Just let me know which weekend. My BIL goes evry year in march for security convention and he said the same as Kelly about the imperial palace he also said harrod was good and I think excalibur. I snore so if any one can put up with that I am down for sharing a room if not that cool. Just let me know which weekend and I will firgure out my schedule at work to request off and work on getting a plane ticket.
I didn't exercise last night worked late than was so tired I went to bed at 8:30 and left my kitchen a mess (so not like me)So def going to the gym today. Decided after Sunday walk that I am going to try and do that every Sunday for a chaange of pace with exercise.
Well back to work0 -
I just need the weekend....
How's the 2nd weekend..... March 12 & 13, 2011....
Snoring...did that with hubby.... Earplugs, I have plenty.0 -
Well the second works best for me the flight are cheeper that weekend. So when do you plan to get there and leave?0
-
After I look at my vacation days available, I could be there Wed/Thurs/Friday and leave Sunday.
My kids have eye appt on Monday 3/14 so I need to be home for that. Chances are I'll be on vacation/sick day from work on Monday (aka - RECOVERY from vegas)
Granted, I'M OK being there first -- before rest of you arrive. I travel by myself for work often so it's no big deal for me.
Really, it's no problem....
Somebody has to arrive first to secure the good bar stools! hahahahhahahahaha
So, we looking at 2nd weekend in March.
Kelly, Cindy, Miss V -- you good with that?
B0 -
woohoo!! it's happenin' SHGP's!! that is very fine with me! 2nd weekend....March F11, S12, S13. you all realize that is about 4 mos from right now?? :bigsmile: lots goin on from now til then...Thanksgiving, Xmas, New Year's, Valentine's!! Time WILL fly! Gosh I am just so excited....can't wait to meet you all and make some real live Pepper memories!! OH boy!!
I am fine with wherever we stay....but do suggest somewhere in the middle of the strip. It is more convenient that way, and there is a bus that you can ride as well too, at a fairly decent price. I tend to think I don't snore, but my dh says otherwise....no problem. Like Barb, I can recover when I get home!0
