Dennis, that's one AWESOME fire pit! Can I come for a shmallow? Walking on a tropic beach on Christmas morning sounds HEAVENLY, Steph! You just need Christmas carols by a steel drum band to go with it. Merry Christmas, Raine! I am so blessed to know you. Give Jack a scratch from Etta Mae and Lily! That sounds a little…

We're doing Christmas #1 here today with Jim's sister and her family, so I'm up cooking and preparing. I decided to go with a praline pecan spiral sliced ham, twice baked potatoes with bacon and rosemary, crockpot apples (basically the filling of an apple pie, but 0 SP), orange/mint glazed peas and carrots, and festive…

I love both the short (that I have memorized) and long (that I talk about with others often) versions. So powerful! And I love Mary!

I'm so glad you like it! I found in in NC and HAD to get it for you! It's so fun and whimsical! Love you!!!

NICE!!

Hi Everyone! Someone else should be getting mugged today ... I'm watching to see! I hope Cecelia loves the new place! So you get to be there for the holidays ... that's great! We are good for the economy and for the delivery people's jobs, Skip. We're big helpers! I'm glad you're feeling better, Lee. It sucks to be sick,…

I'm here! Thanks for the shout-out. :) And the cookies were goooood! Here's my strategy to not eat all of them: (that's in my freezer ... those will be given out this week)

Happy Monday, everyone! It was a busy weekend here. I led worship at 2 services yesterday. The first was a favor for a friend who launched a service start-up yesterday morning. It was teensy tiny. And then last night's regular service ROCKED! This week I'm hosting the WW Open House on Wednesday night, plus my regular…

My favorite line from Die Hard: "I think we're gonna need some more FBI guys." I love everything about Elf, and nothing about chafing. I also still need to mail a mug. I plan to get it to the post office on Friday, with a few other things that need to be sent around the country. David, I think you should try the high heels…

Hi everyone! I had SUCH a beautiful time in NC with my friends! And now I'm home, trying to catch up on everything. I got most of my decorations up yesterday, but the tree still has a ways to go. I have a ton of wrapping to do (stuff I got in NC, plus some wrapping I'm doing for a friend of mine who was recently widowed…

Happy Thanksgiving and SO much love to all of you!

Kelly is the new Martha Stewart! Have a GREAT day tomorrow loving your family! Skip, if your boss retires, would you have the opportunity to move into his position? Or would you even want that? Guinness is a popular name, Lee? I didn't know that, but it sure makes sense! I'll bet you don't have many Etta Maes. :smiley:…

I'm having a GREAT time in NC! I love my bff, and I love her family. It feels like being at my own home, it's so comfortable and nice. Here are a few pics from the last 2 days. Jim finished early (kind of), so he'll be coming tomorrow night to join us for the rest of the week. The last photo is me with her dog Guinness,…

Are you sure it's a cold, Mary? I'd heard that colds come on more gradually, while flu knocks you down in mid-stride. Congrats, Lou! I'll be rootin' for NO poltergiests. Or at least benevolent ones. How awesome that they decorate early, Steph! Do you have any decorations yet? Sorry about Babe, Lee. That sucks. But, I'll…

Nice car, Skip! So are you telling us that today is your birthday? Maybe? Sam, you are SO talented! Wow! #103forthewin Sorry for your frustrations, Lou! I'm not so much wondering why he has the high blood pressure, but more so why he had the chest pains once and shortness of breath a couple times last week. Those scared…

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dave. I wish I could give you a real hug. Nice whip, Skip! (hey! That rhymes!!) Enjoy your dinner out, Dennis! Goooooooooooo, Babe! Mary, you're such an incredible woman in SO many ways. This is SUCH an amazing group! One thing that I go back to is that I've known some of you for over a DECADE…

I get a kick out of those trendy new terms, especially when I say them BEFORE my kids do! Then they have to rethink what it means to be cool ... ha!!! My favorite phrase of all time is my Dd23's: "I'm smellin' what you're steppin' in." HA!!! (it means "I understand what you're saying.") I hope it's crazy-awesome, Skip! Yay…

Hee hee!

Thank you, Steph!!! I've been avoiding this thread for that reason. I'll be in it, but I really don't want to organize again this year. :blush:

Welcome back, Sue!!! :)

Dennis, here's the info on the new plan. MyWW offers 3 ways to follow the program now: Green, Blue, and Purple. Green has a list of about 100 Zero Point foods (most fruits and non-starchy veggies) + a sizable daily budget (lowest is 30). Blue has a list of over 200 Zero Point foods (fruits, veggies, lean proteins) + a…

I'm praying for you, Raine! Gentle hugs to you! It was a GREAT launch week! 100% positive response in all my workshops. In fact, I would say that it was the most FUN roll-out that I've ever done. I was sad yesterday when I had my last workshop .. enough so that I checked to see if there were any I could sub today or…

Thank you to all our veterans! You're amazing! Now I want brownies. Cute place, Steph! I love the 2 beds ... so if he ate too many beans and all. :smiley: Rain gear sounds good, Bob. We've got about 8 inches of snow so far here, since yesterday. I'm really hoping the plow makes it down my road before I have to leave for…

Where are you moving, Steph? Will this be a permanent residence? Dennis, I want to be there. It's about 30 here and there is snow on the ground. It was icy for the commute. Lou, be sure to go potty before you talk to them. It sucks when to be nervous and standing in front of lots of people and realize you have to pee. Lee,…

Good morning! I'm alive! But I'm on my way out the door. Hugs all around!

This one's not secret, Dennis. :) We're piloting virtual WW groups! It's open right now for people to sign up, but that will only last until the pilot groups fill up. We'll be doing the pilot all year, and, if it works out, be offering this option to everyone next year at this time as a new, regular offering.

Love the picture of you with the Bills, Dennis! You're the best lookin' one, too! :) Awwww! Poor Tess! I'm so glad she has you to take good care of her. As for the water thing, Etta is kinda weird with water. She does not like a bath, but she'll run into a muddy stream. She doesn't like waves AT ALL, but she loves a cold,…

Hi Everyone! It's been crazy busy lately, but I have a moment before Bible study to say hello. Steph, are you taking online Spanish? Jim and I had started taking online Italian in preparation for an upcoming trip to Italy, but I'm not in love with the course. If you're doing an online program that you're happy with, which…

I love it! What color will it be painted? Is it stucco?

Congrats, Lou!!!!!!!! Woo-hoooooooooooo! I hope you sleep in today! And Subway cookies are my absolute FAVORITE - you earned it, BABY! (One day I picked up 3 - one for me, one for Jamie, one for Jim. But they unexpectedly weren't home when I got there. So I ate them all. They're 10 SP each. Ugh.) Water is good, Raine! And…
