not blogging

I won't be blogging for the next couple of days. I'm going to Nashville TN for a conference with a couple of the pastors from church. I'll be back sometime late of Friday. Have a great rest of the week.

just one this week

Well it was just a pound this week. making the total 8.2 pounds. Next week when the water gain is gone hopefully I'll lose 2 or 3. Want to get down before retreat, so I can splurge a little.

Not much else to tell, except Nick ran a 40 something the 2nd fastest in his Rotc. He's going to be on some kinda PT team. Not sure of the details, since he's a teenager and the details are foggy to him most of the time.

More later

The week begins again....

Well you all know Monday morning is my weigh in. I haven't over eaten my points but I am retaining water. My thought is it'll be about a pound. Oh well maybe 2 next week.

What a busy weekend I had. today was very busy. I hear my friends had a great time at Bonnie's in Glasgow on Saturday. Wish I could have been there.

You'll hear from me tomorrow.

Its my day off !!!!!!!!!!

My day off has arrived. Unfortunately I do have to work tomorrow. Anyway not much in the plan today. I cleaned the house last night so I could lay around today. I do have to go to the grocery today but I love to go to the grocery. (except its cold) so going to the grocery isn't really a chore to me.

I don't really have much to add. My mother in law did have surgery this morning and is now in recovery. Jason is at the hospital but I was told it wasn't necessary for me to be there. She didn't have any trouble and everything went as planned. She should be coming home in a couple of hours. Jason did say a couple of weeks ago something about us checking on her and making sure she has food and other stuff she needs. Anyway Patti if you are reading this get well soon.

Busy week

So I've had a pretty busy week so far. I have worked long hours the last 3 days. And that means I got to come home at 1:30 today. Becasue tomorrow is another long day. And I'm off on Friday. Hope you guys have a great time at your class at Bonnie's Saturday. If its something I want get me one and teach me how please.

I also have chuch tonight, a lesson to prepare for work on Saturday, bible study and church Sunday. Wow. I'll need a break after this week.

its 3.2

well its got to be quick I'm running late but 3.2 is the pounds I lost this week would have been more but the chili cook off killed me. see ya

the weekend catch up

So I've been out of touch a couple of days. I scrapbooked on Friday night and Saturday. Jason had the events of the weekend he managed to bust a water pipe at his fathers home. Something about some rust, and the next thing you know bam. So something simple turned into a plumber being called. YUCK.

WE went to the chili cook off the other night. It was alot of fun actually. Joshua provided most of the entertainment for all of us.

At the crop this weekend we saw a bunch of people we hadn't seen in awhile. Well we saw them last time but the scrapped this time. Glad they came. Hope they come back.

As far as WW goes. I had a bad day yesterday. The chili cook off was to hard to tell points. I think I did OK but probably went over 4 or 5. But most days last week I left 1 or 2 on the table so I hope when I hop on the scales in the morning it'll be what I want to see. Which is at least 2 pounds.

In other random news Emily ( child in Mississippi) got 1.5 inches of snow yesterday. She lives very south in Mississippi.

Another day....

well until I started writing about my life everyday I didn't realize how truely boring it is.

I have finished another week at the barrel how great is that. I have really started thinking about switching jobs but then I think of the hours and cut in pay at least for awhile and losing my discount and I just can't start really looking. We'll see.

I really enjoy doing this everyday. My food struggle from a couple of days ago isn't as bad as it was. But i could still eat a gaint snickers bar if one were to appear in my living room.

I'll be at the crop tomorrow around 5-530 with 100 cal paks and drinks for myself. Anything else needed let me know. See my scrappin friends tomorrow. And my "summer" friends Saturday night at the chili cook off.

ok so this week

I'm just about to starve. As easy as last week was this week is hard. Its the middle of my "cycle" and I usually eat alot. I guess. I didn't even know I did it. I want alot of snacks and can't have them. So I'm drinking water, water, water and hoping that I survive the week. Next week will be much easier.

100 cal paks for the weekend. Any suggestions as to which ones?????

I'll keep you updated on my starvation week.

how many pounds the first week ?.....

4 i just want to thank the number 4, that's how many pounds I lost this week. So I'll bring anything you want for the weekend scrap adventure, I just need to know what other people are bringing so I can plan accordingly. see ya soon

Okay so its Saturday and I've slept in (till later than I'm willing to admit) and I have been to the grocery and had lunch. Not really much to tell. Nick surprised me when I got home from the grocery he was doing his own laundry. Granted he picked just his clothes out of the dirty clothes but at least he is participating in something that he will need to know very soon.

When I had my oil changed today I had to have a new battery. We had a 3 year warranty on the last one but couldn't remember when we bought the thing. Although I don't feel like it was 3 years ago but we went ahead and bought a new one just in case. he said I had 1/2 as many cold cranking amps as I needed. Whatever that means so I have a new battery with a warranty longer than I will probably keep the car. How much sense does that make.

Till later

Okay so day 5 on ww and everything is great. I have cleaned the house top to bottom today. The floors, the baseboards and all that jazz. I scrubbed the bathroom floors on my hands and knees and got most of the dog hair vacuumed up, probably not because Buddy sheds at an alarming rate.

For those going to retreat our fellow scrapper Tracy isn't going to fall retreat. She is cruising instead I believe. I wish I was cruising !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a very blessed day.

Look at this

Debbie W. ( aka scrappy in my house) has found this great facility. Thought I'd post the link in case anyone was interested.

What kind of a day have you had. Me super. WW is going okay I haven't been able to consume all of my points without searching at the end of the night for at least 4 points. I feel like I should be losing but who really knows its a waiting game.

A did you try the Splenda, how was it???

Hope you've had a great day ..

Hope you guys have had a great day. Work wasn't so bad today, we had our audit today and actually did very well. Is anyone going to Bonnie's on Saturday for inventory? If you are you should call and let her know to expect you.

I haven't scrapped any this week, too busy but I will get my recipes printed to give you guys for my secret soup recipe.

another day

I'm off to work this morning not much to report except Nick got a grade card and it wasn't very good. If he put as much focus on his school work as he did the guitar. OH well the thoughts of being a mother of teenage.

More later today.

Soo another day

The weather is a little ugly. I could have sworn I posted this morning but there is no post there. Yesterday on weight watchers wasn't as hard as I thought I had to search last night to find something to finish out my points I just wasn't hungry.

Today i still have 8 points to eat and have eaten all my meals. Good for me. update soon

So my life changed today I hope

So today I started a weight watchers routine. packed my lunch, stayed in my points ate all my veggies and fruits have a little water left to drink and still need to find something to eat in an hour or so cause I still have 5 pts. left. I decided about 1 week ago that today would be the day I would start.

Most of you would know I have a love hate thing for my weight. I don't really care about losing weight. I'd like my clothes to fit better. I'd like my husband to not fuss about it so I'll do this again. The fact is I love food, well not really food, carbs, candy, junk. Who needs veggies? Thank goodness I like veggies, and other free foods and I already drink alot water so here we go on a weight less challenge. And now that I have announced it to the whole world I guess I'd better stick to it.

I have not signed up for the cancer crop but need to do that.

We are signed up for the retreat. Bonnie said she only had 70 sign up, so if you know anybody who would enjoy that incourage them to sign up.

What a day....

I wish I could have just stayed in bed this morning. Work was so dead which makes a day go very slow. Then there was a bit of drama with an employee. Sometimes I wish Jason was a millionaire and I could be a stay at home wife/mother.

Doesn't it sound great clean house every day. Dinner on the table. Time to do the laundry, the bathrooms. Go shopping and to lunch with your friends (OK maybe not most of them work).

Anyway I wish I could stay home. Maybe someday.

More tomorrow.

Here are some pics

Gal pals, had a great time this weekend. I ate entirely to much food. Why do we do that to ourselves? We bring all that junk and feel half sick by the time we leave. Anyway we all had a great time.

I hope A is goes to take our advice and STAND UP FOR HERSELF.

See you all in 2 weeks.

Early Saturday

Well off to scrapbook with my scrappin gang this morning. I plan to post pics later today or early tomorrow. Nick and Jason were still playing Halo when I went to bed this morning at 1 am so I guess they plan to sleep at least part of the day away.

Buddy woke me up before the alarm this morning needing to do his business which stinks cause I had 10 more mins.

Catch up more later.

Finally Friday

I'm so glad to hear from some of you on here. Some other friends actually sent me an email which was much appreciated too.
Boring day nothing to tell but will have pics tomorrow of the weekend scrap event.

see ya

Emily looking for her gifts

We did a scavenger hunt game for Em this year, she had alot of fun. Here she is looking for the last gift and it was under the tree the whole time.

Okay so this is my post, and I've not got alot to say. I'm working tomorrow and scrapbooking with my scrappin gang this weekend. I can't wait I haven't really scrapbooked since retreat really. I'm going to try to add pictures some but not sure about layouts. When I bought my new printer I didn't buy one that would scan 12x12 so I'll probably not post many scrapbooking layouts.

So maybe I'll see you this weekend or maybe I'll see you next week.

So ...

This is my first post I'm just trying it out. Don't have much to say just yet.
