Happy anniversary, Sam!!! I’m sure if you think long and hard on it, an appropriate way to celebrate will come up.

And in case that doesn’t do it for ya ...

I love Jack!!! I hope your day goes beautifully today, too, Raine, and that you have something special just for you! It's gorgeous here ... the sky is clear sapphire blue, the sun is shining, and the high today is 65. A PERFECT early fall day! I am in a great mood because of my new nightstands (that I assembled MYSELF,…

Happy birthday, my sweet friend! I love you!!!

I'm glad your class rocked, Skip! That is a good feeling. Goooooooooooooo, Jack! Work it! Work it! ("Vogue" is playing in my head now ...) Henry needs a crown! He's king of the Moody house! :) I did not get home until after the visitation ended yesterday, so I'm going this morning before my meeting. It was beyond crazy in…

Owie! :(

I hope you feel better soon, Skip! I'm sending a big 'ol healing hug. Busy day here, too.

I hope you had a GREAT birthday! Hugs!

Thank you for all the positive thoughts and encouragement, everyone! It was a pretty emotionally packed few days, both with hard things and wonderful things. The funeral for my friend is Thursday ... I lead a meeting during it, so I'll probably just make the visitation Wednesday night. Dennis, that meme is HILARIOUS! HA! I…

Follow up: I just heard, and my friend passed during the night.

I think all of you are already aware of my story a bit, so I am comfortable telling you on this forum that today I celebrate 5 years of sobriety. This is HUGE for me! 5 years ago I was a mess - utterly hopeless. Someone (a WW member who was my housekeeper at the time) found me and prevented me from killing myself, my…

What a day. My bff and a bunch of others are in NC right now, fighting to stay afloat. So far everyone seems okay. One of my leader friends (who I worked with today) lost her mom yesterday. My amazing receptionist who thinks of herself as my pseudo-mom (the one in all my yearly at-goal photos) lost her husband this…

I lost another 1/2 pound this week, which makes my total loss 1.5 out of the 5 I wanted to lose. So far so good! I could have done better this week ... I am not surprised it was just a little. ;)

Anyone heard from Steve lately?

HA HA HA!

Well, shoot. I blame Skip! :smiley:

Breakfast was AMAZING. I mix nonfat plain Greek yogurt with sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix often, and I had some of this in the fridge. I scooped it over a banana and added Penzey's cake spice (it's the same spice combo that's in a spice cake ... oh my!) over it all. Wow! That spice took it to the next level for sure! 1…

Dave, that's a GREAT song!

Yesterday I had 31 SP out of the 23 I get ... pizza happened. But, I've certainly had worse! I can make that work. Raine, it sounds like a sale is imminent! YAY! What songs did you do, Dave? We started the evening services up again last night, and it went really well! I so love these, and I love doing the music each week.…

I made this Saturday night ... it was really good and only 1 SP for the whole plate:

Thanks for the update, Sam! Enjoy your trip!

I ended up having 1 cup of ice cream last night with friends, for 15 SP. That means I used 30 out of my 23 Daily, leaving me with 41 Weeklies for this week (I got a lot of rollovers on the other days). Tonight is date night, so I may use a few more of those Weeklies. We'll see.

Etta and Lily have become great friends, and it's adorable to watch. They were just playing, which always makes me a little nervous since Lily is the equivalent of a snack to Etta, but after much roughhousing, Etta is now grooming Lily ... licking her tummy while she lays there and enjoys it. How cute! Lily keeps…

Ok .. my day: Breakfast: 2 eggs with veggies - 0 SP Snack: Baggie of grapes - 0 Lunch: Chicken/apple wrap - 3 Snack: microwave popcorn - 4 Dinner: Turkey sausage with roasted veggies - 6 Snack: cheesecake yogurt with warm cherries - 0 Total: 13, out of the 23 I get. How'd you do?

I'm up early again for a meeting I'm subbing before my regular one. Happy Thursday! Thank you to you guys who know guys, and Dennis who knows guys who know guys. While I'm very tempted myself, I remind myself that he will always be Anabelle's daddy, even with all his faults. Sheesh, this is complicated! We've never had a…

Another great day with Freestyle! That's 3 now, all under 20 SP. Dd27 cooks on Wednesdays and Thursdays ... I'll have to consider how much to leave for that. I made these delicious wraps for lunches this week - grilled chicken with Shake-n-Bake Panko, sweet red bell pepper slices, apple slices, and laughing cow cheese on a…

Lee, I'm giggling at your post. I will eat less. :) I'm not much for exercise, which is a standing joke in my meetings.

Oh no, Skip! I hope you have a spare pair! Raine, my fingers and toes and eyes are crossed for you! I just got Anabelle and dd27 off for the day. The little one was a bit grumpy this morning ... a little strong on the self-will. Contrary to her wishes, she still got a bath and had to brush her teeth. She did get out of…

Thanks, Kelly! Good morning, all! It looks to be a fairly quiet day around here. Anabelle is with her daddy for the day, dd27 is hanging out with friends, and I think dd18 works later on. Dd27 just came down wearing her "hot new outfit" that dd22 sent her in the mail to try to cheer her up ... isn't that the sweetest…
