So, the absolute head of my department just sent me an instant message concerned that they guy they've chosen to replace me in my current position can't do the job because he's not a US citizen or permanent resident... so could I do the research and have it to him by Monday. Translation: "could you sift through the almost…

Amy, I'm seriously considering walking down to my boss's office and explaining the situation to see if I can go home early. (At worst, I could use 3 hours of vacation time, but he's normally pretty cool about stuff like that) KatheryneLynne, that's a wonderful way to put it. It does make me happy to be there for my…

Ughhhhhhhhh... Is it the weekend yet? Seriously, everything has me in a rage today (like I looked at an acquaintance's craftblog and the fact that she's so put together sent me into an enormous rant with my best friend)... the following story being why: Had the WORST night last night. Went to a couple friends' house for…

Oh em gee, it smells like a giant car fire in Houston. Friggin' wild fires... eating up our forests and ruining lives and making the world smell awful and the air unbreathable. Lacey, I have a similar lack of hummus problem. And I'm out of cheese. FYI, in this month's InStyle magazine Alexander Skarsgard is the "man of…

Aw man... This website is going to be a major problem for me. But thanks, Lacey! That's awesome that it's free shipping and returns. That's what usually stops me from using online shopping for clothes.

Dood! I thought that WAS the finale of True Blood. Glad there's one more. Frankly, I'm really tired of Lafayette and Jesus, although I like them a bit more than I did last season. And Tara, ugh. Basically anyone who was a background character in the books (or dead) and now has a major story line, I'm just done with. I also…

Okay... all caught up I think! I read the last page of the last thread and quickly read through this thread! Kerry, your family's Halloween plans sound AWESOME! My friends generally take care of the Halloween season for me. One friend has a pumpkin carving party. It was originally just him, his now wife, me, and whoever I…

Go "away" for a holiday weekend, and not only does the thread flip but there are 4 pages to catch up on? Good lord. Okay, admittedly I forgot to post weight yesterday because of the holiday. That being said, I am just gaining, gaining, gaining. 230.2. After a holiday weekend of eating lots of crap, I'm not at all…

Hi ladies! Katie, take care of yourself! I think that's something we all forget to do from time to time as nurturing female types. Just drop by every now and then to let us know how you are! Lacey, I'm so sorry about all your pup drama :( I hope Bart gets better with those antibiotics. Kendal, woohoo on the living…

Hi Ladies! Was stuck in an all-day meeting yesterday so no time to log on. When I got home, I was so hot and tired I just flopped onto the couch and fell asleep... until Joe got home then I actually got up and cooked us dinner! I took a couple recipes from the So Tasty, So Yummy blog that Lacey posted for the enchilada…

Best Friend brought me some mac and cheese today. I'm SO wishing I hadn't eaten it. *burp* Now, I'm popping Tums like candy.

Also, Lacey... How big is a serving of your enchilada soup and have you calculated the cals? That looks really delicious.

Okay, so I know we don't like passes too much 'round here. But... PASS. If my scale is right (and I'm sure it is) I weigh more than I did when I first joined this group this morning. So for my sanity, a pass. Sorry to do that. I know it's my fault. I wish I had some excuse, but I really don't. Need to go to the store…

aaaaaaaaand, I'm already falling asleep at my desk again. So much for that.

I've actually been a bit frightened of them myself, but this was free, and why not. I'm definitely awake but kinda feeling fidgety. I don't think I'd make a habit of taking these. Also, it tasted awful.

So, this morning my apartment complex management was handing out breakfast tacos and bottles of water to the residents as they were leaving for work. They also had a 5 hour energy rep there handing samples of that out. I always get what I call the "3:00 sleepies" at the office, but they came on at about 2:15 today so I…

Amy, I think the binge eating is called "being a dog." hehe Seriously, if I leave anything out... it's gone. Except for her actual dog food as she'll let that sit forever. When I first got her 4 years ago, I'd thrown away a big bag of twizzlers and went out. When I came home, the trash was knocked over and there were…

Okay, dug up a pic at my absolute heaviest. Ugh. Please ignore my ex's severed arm on my shoulder. This is at or around 267... after I'd eaten nothing but crap studying for the bar exam.

Amy! What a difference! I'm going to have to go home and dig up photos from me at my heaviest. I obviously don't have them on any social networking sites to pull from at the moment. I topped out at 267 in 2005. When I started with MFP I was 241, but even my full body pic on my profile is about 235. And Sarah, you look so…

Sarah, if you hover over the picture click on other resize options or whatever the bottom tab is, then just make sure "maintain proportions" (I think) is checked, and you can slide that little scale around. No need to repost, it'll automatically resize when you reload in here. In photobucket, I mean.

LOL it's huuuuuuuuuuuge! whoops. Okay, resized a bit.

Since picture posting is happening... and because I think this this is cute... me and the boy at Fogo de Chao for our anniversary at the end of June. Can't see much of all of me, but it's a good representation of how my face and arms have slimmed a bit.

Worked, but is teeeeeeeeeee tiny. Rikki, happy birthday! Spoil yourself :D Okay, I looked at the Peas and Thank You website at the crack wrap, and I must say... it looks too damn good. This may need to happen.

Good morning, all! Kerry, you look fabulous!!! Victoria, I saw your run on facebook and I am just in awe.

KatheryneLynne... that is just so cool! I love all these stories :happy:

Sarah, Victoria, Amy: We do have to have quarterly reviews of objectives before the big year end review, so that's where I've tried to focus on improvement... to no avail. Maybe I need to sit with HR and see if a CAP is an option for her. I'm her direct manager; inherited her when I got into this position. She actually was…

haha, low impact aerobics. Love it. I loooooooove Halloween and have no idea what I'll be this year. Last year was the cupcake, and the year before I dressed up as my friend Brad... I was going to be a lumberjack, but I realized that without the suspenders, unbutton the flannel and put a t-shirt under, I look like my…

Hi Ladies! Rain - I'd never heard of PKU before, how interesting and what an unfortunate pain in the butt! Glad they're developing a semi-useful medication, and maybe when it's out on the market the price will go down. My most recent ex had a sodium problem, don't know what the actual condition is called, but his body…

TEEHEE!
