Me too!!

I realize weather forecasting is pretty difficult; but these TV news stations are so hung up on getting ratings I think they stretch reality sometimes....

The funniest weather forecast I heard was on radio once.
The annoucer was reading the forecast, it called for party cloudy in the 30's, he then said I just looked out the window and since its snowing , we can throw this one away

That's funny Ed!! I think you must have been listening to a Baltimore station, because that's the kind of crap they do. I swear this morning on TV they said a few flurries and some light rain in the pm, it's too warm for snow and ice. Well, it snowed for about 5 hours, then started sleeting, and then turned to freezing rain, and then snowed some more. Anyway good night all! One more day until my 3 day weekend!!!

Good night all.

Karen-

I missed you this morning! Hope you are feeling OK.

Hi Abby!

I'm back to full strength now, thank you - I felt much better in the afternoon and by the evening I was more my normal self (whatever that is... )... How about you??? When's your surgery likely to take place???

 

[CustardTart]

Maybe the bike will have to wait until the kids are grown and gone. We can all enjoy DVC! My mom waited to get her Harley until she was 52. I don't want to wait that long though!!

That is so coool!!! I'm saving to get a super-sports car (porsche, ferrari - something like that!) when I'm fifty - only 5 and a bit years to wait!!!

I didn't realize that there are actual tennis shoes with the same concept. I need to look around,as I am in the market for new cross trainers. I do think I will buy the FitFlops though for warmer months.

Yesh, they're a bit weird looking - let me see if I can find a pic...

 

[CustardTart]

I saw a show about them on the Food Network. That looks quite yummy but nothing I'd ever try!

Same here - it's the can of whipped cream on top that scares me...

We will be at Animal Kingdom Villas 6/22-7/5. When will you be there? I am excited as this is my longest stay so far. This is Zane's birthday trip. He will turn 7 on 6/22.

Have a fabulous trip - DD and I have AKV points but have yet to stay tho' we visited the resort when we were last in WDW - gorgeous...

But may I say, what a great date for a birthday!!!!!!! Yes, you've guessed it - that's mine too!!! Sadly I don't turn 7 - I turn 45...

Harry and Karen-

You both have unknowingly helped encourage me onto the fitness train again. My company is going to start the biggest loser challenge at work the week after next. It is open to all of our divisions (division vs division for total pounds lost and also one single winner overall for total % of weight lost). We are thinking about 100 employees will sign up. $10 sign up fee, my work is buying the exact same scales for all locations, everyone will weigh in Monday morning with a designated person and again Friday before we leave. I will be out of the contest for 6 weeks due to surgery (at least that was what I was told) but I figure I have a month to get going again before surgery and hopefully this will help with my recovery. I'll join the contest solely for the moral support and accountability (weighing in, getting nasty looks if I even attempt to eat something completely fattening) as I'm more in the contest to get fit rather than lose much weight. So, I am now off to exercise. (Oh and DH just left for the gym, so I'm feeling a bit guilty. )

Good for you, Abby!!! Getting and staying fit is what it's all about to me - I need to lose some post-cruise/post-Christmas weight and have already managed to drop 5lbs, so only another 9lbs to go...

We'll support you on here too so best of luck...

Hi Abby!

Morning! It should be Saturday! Wednesday I thought it was Thursday and Thursday I thought it was Friday. So in my mind it is Saturday and what the heck am I doing up at 5:30.

That's good you are feeling back to "normal"! When I was little my aunt used to call me Abbynormal, instead of abnormal. She also called me Abbynoxious instead of obnoxious. (gotta love the woman. ) My surgery is Feb. 15th.

WOW!!! Sounding like Paris Hilton "That's HOT".

 

[CustardTart]

I gave up on ER quite awhile ago... ER "jumped the shark" after Dr. Green died (just my opinion).

I agree tho' I just got sucked into the start of this season - no doubt I'll watch it for a while and the novelty will wear off...

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Thanks. I'm going to shop around this weekend for new ones. I did order the FitFlops last night. I figure for now I can wear them around the house cleaning and such, to see if I like them enough to order more for summer. I tried to get them last year but they were always sold out.

Love it!!!

And surgery's the day after Valentine's Day - that'll make me remember...

Yes, dahling! Just not rich, blonde or thin!!! Dontcha think I missed my vocation - shoulda been an heiress...?

WTG Karen!! I am up 5 lbs because of cruise/holidays, but still down 10 overall.

Thank you! I have to be more persistent with sticking to it because when I do my body doesn't ache and I'm in a better mood. It's the winter months that really do it. We are pretty active throughout the rest of the year, be it at the gym, outside playing with the kids, etc.

I was aiming for the 14th with the way my remaining vacation days fall, but no such luck.

You forgot one! Rich, blonde, thin, OR ditzy.
