Great Idea Marie, even if we are the oldest members. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My son did my computer and in doing so somehow lost all my pictures from 2009. He feels really bad so I am just going to let it go. I am sure others have pictures of what happened in 2009.

Dinner was good and the company was great. The nuns enjoyed themselves and had fun. If only my step son would stop drinking.

My husband is still not feeling well so I better call the doctor back and see if I can get him in today.

Will check in later, enjoy your Monday.

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We ran our butt's off! Everything went well. Seen the mothers for thier b-days and made it to Sam's receital. We were inthe car 11 hours on Saturday. We started at 7:00 in the morning and got back home at 2:00 on Sunday morning. I am beat! I think I am more tired today than yesterday. I got my workout in last night and it was all I could do to motivate myself to finish it. I had strength training about 300 pushups and chin ups and some weights, then my ab workout, about 350 drunches of different types and then a 2 mile run. Actually I felt better after the workout than before. Amanda is home and still sleeping! LOL some things never change. Sam will be home on Wednesday then the circus starts! Day and I have to work all week with the exception of Thanksgiving.
We still do not know who all is coming for Thanksgiving Dinner. We are planning for about 10. I think we are going to start making the pies and such tonight. Anyway that is about it from Indiana for now.

I did add my b-date to the list. Everyone have a great day!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Jake called this morning from the airport in Santa Barbara just before getting on the plane.......he has a short layover in Sacramento before catching the plane to Seattle, then he gets the shuttle for the 2 hour ride to get home from the airport......if all goes according to schedule, he should be home for supper :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: He had such a great time that he wants us both to go to this thing next year.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Jeffrey, your workout makes my exercise bike riding and dog walking look relaxed by comparison.......but someone said that the best exercise is the one tha you'll do...your Thanksgiving plans sound like a storybook event.....I'm so glad for you

:flowerforyou: Sandy I'm so sorry about the stuff you lost on your computer. I'm glad you have such a positive attitude about it.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Beth, you may not be a senior but you're certainly the one with the golden sneakers with all the great running you do.

Gotta go, the dogs are barking at the cat next door and i have to chase the cat away so they can't see him any more:laugh:

Hi everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. We took Neil in for his bath and then went out for lunch, our usual Monday. We didn't need to go for groceries today which was nice. Other than that nothing going on here. I can't remember if I told you I got a rice cooker for my birthday so today I am going to try it out. Not sure what I will cook to go with it but hope the rice turns out. I love electric appliances and have a need to have them all!! At least that is what Dave says. The kids tease me endlessly about my appliance garage. For some reason I have never had a rice cooker and my sister has been so happy with hers. Now I feel like I am making excuses for wanting something that I didn't really need. I will let you know what I think tomorrow.

Sandy -- My year of birth is 1949 and I don't mind it being listed. I hope your husband was able to get in to see the Dr., sorry he is unwell. About the drinking, we can try to wish it away but until the person decides to make a change it won't happen. I know that you know that but I also know that it can influence a family so much. You are very smart not to own his problem and I really admire you for that. I grew up with a lot of drinking in my extended family and for some reason it was more accepted then. I also think the same thought pattern can happen with weight problems. I have found wishing just doesn't make it happen!!

Marie -- I can't wait to see you in your wig! How cool are you?!

Barbie -- Hope you enjoyed the skating. I surely did. I held my breath watching our dancers, amazing. They are all amazing and work so hard. Glad you will have Jake home today.

Jeffrey -- Wow, what an exhausting weekend. It sounds like you will be having fun this week. I love to have the kids stay over. They live so close that it rarely happens but they always stay over Christmas eve which is just around the corner.

Hi to the rest of you. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach

Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Ok sorry about the double or more posts. I was trying to make some changes to Marie's post because Jeffrey's birth year was listed as 1058 and I was adding Gayla's birth year but somehow the posts got messed up.


I think all is right now. :bigsmile:

Good Morning Everyone!

Cool and damp here with a lot of fog. More news with our mothers. Day's mom is being evaluated for a memory care unit. This would just be a different area from where she is now. It is just rough hearing it. My mother may have to have a hip or knee or both replaced soon. We will know more about that next week. Everything else is fine.

I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving. My weight is really down pretty good so I will eat! I just love pecan pie. I can't leave one of those alone! I don't want to even guess at the calorie count in one of those, I don't care! LOL

I trust that everyone is well and happy!

fun while it lasted before returning to the real world

We still haven't heard from the people who invited us for Thanksgiving so we don't know where we're going, what time to be there, or what to bring.....but in the spirit of "one day at a time" we really don't need to know until sometime tomorrow.:laugh:

Whatever we do for Thanksgiving, I'll be putting all of you on my thankful list
hugs, Barbie

Just popping in for a quick hello as I am at work. I have been extremely busy! I have hardly had time to sit and post never mind ....read the posts!:noway: But with everything going on, I am doing well with the food / exercise issue:drinker: :drinker:

I am thinking of you all.... and as I glance through the posts, I say a prayer for you even though I can't address each one!

Hoping to post tomorrow as I am getting weighed.:blushing:
My husband is telling my MIL that she is going into a Nursing Home from the rehab place, tonight. Poor thing. :ohwell: It won't be easy for either of them and I have a Chiropractor's appointment so I can't even be there for him:frown: But he'll be fine....I'm placing them in the good Lord's hands.:flowerforyou:

My plan for Thanksgiving is just to eat very small portions. I am going to look up the foods in the data base , before Thanksgiving, and have a plan. :flowerforyou: I am also making sugar free jello with bananas and strawberries and have some low cal cool whip on hand. As I am hosting the meal, I will make sure I have string beans and salad as part of the meal. I don't want anyone thinking that I'm not eating! (They think I must be starving or something:laugh: ). Just better choices and exercise. I will exercise first thing in the morning to compensate for the extra calories

AND I WILL THINK OF ALL THE THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR....ESPECIALLY MFP AND ALL YOU LOVELY LADIES!
Take care!
BirdieM:smooched:

Best wishes to you all as you celebrate Thanksgiving. I used my new Rice Cooker last night and it turned out quite nice. I will add a bit more water next time as I like the rice a bit softer although it was good. I added peppers, onion, celery and mushrooms to the rice and then didn't have to do a thing except wait for it to cook. Next time I may try adding in some meat. Tonight I am making spaghetti and meat sauce, Dave's favorite. It is Dave's birthday next week and wouldn't you know it my live theater night falls on his birthday. He has given me a bit of hard time but says to go and enjoy it, he will have a peanut butter sandwich. I did invite him along to see 'Little Women' but he declined. I know I will enjoy it. December 1st we are going to see the So You Think You Can Dance tour. By we, I mean my sister, friend and I. Again Dave will be enjoying his own company.

I am off work tomorrow and then will work Thursday morning, my retirement tea is Thursday afternoon, and I will work part of Friday and then I will be done!!

Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: We finally talked to the people that invited us for Thanksgiving so now we have directions to their house, arrival time (3PM) and what to bring. They said dessert or appetizer snacks so since I no longer eat or prepare dessert, I chose appetizer. Hubby suggested hummus and fresh veggies and since we have time in the morning for preparation, i can cut up cauliflower, broccoli, and peppers We like the red pepper hummus that we get at Costco. We are boarding the dogs so we don't have to worry about them while we're gone and don't have to find a willing neighbor to walk them on a holiday. We'll take them in today and pick them up on Friday morning. The people we'll be with are one of hubby's longest and best friends, his wife whom we've met only once, their 5 month old daughter that we've not seen and his mom whom we've never met and maybe some other people. It promises to be a great day

:flowerforyou: Birdie, thanks for sharing your eating plan for Thanksgiving Day. This is my first "sensible eating" Thanksgiving so I'm happy for every suggestion and plan to help me prepare for tomorrow.

:flowerforyou: Gayla, does your rice cooker just cook rice or did you put those other ingredients in with the rice and cook them together?

Time to shower and head for line dance. I'm so glad the teacher didn't cancel today's class:bigsmile:

Good Morning!!

Not sure I like this new format or not, it took me a minute to find my topics.:laugh:

I slept in today so I must have been tired. I am more of a night owl and usually don't go to bed before one, but most of the time I am up by 8:30. Today I slept until 9:30, so I feel rested.

As I mentioned, I ordered a turkey dinner from the Country Club so there will be no cooking. Since there will only be five of us ( one is only 4) it just seemed like the easiest thing to do. Most of our children are out of town, so there are no big celebrations. Having a second a marriage with children who don't get along also puts a damper on Holidays. We never put them together so it gets stressful at times. I am much better now that I go to Al Anon, I learn to take it "One Day at a Time".


I would like to take this day and tell you how grateful I am that I have all of youl as my Internet Friends!!! You have made such a difference in my life, not only with weight and commitment, but in just being there to be able to share my life with you.
We may never meet in person but each of you is special in your own way, and for that I thank you,

Happy Thanksgiving,
Sandy

I am not crazy about this new format either. You know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks haha!

I'm sorry that the Holidays are strained because of conflicts between family members I am blessed to have a family that gets along real well, and seeing what you said, just made me even more grateful!!

Also Ditto to what you said about this website and all our internet friends! What a difference it has made....another thing to be grateful for!

(I wonder what happened to the little happy faces etc. I don't see them in this new format:(
