lol..ouch those little suckers sure are nippy. I prefer gerbils don't nip as much.
But they aren't as cute as hamsters.

Jeff is home and we are going to do some shopping later

Hope you are going to buy something fun! Happy shopping!!

Not really ..the kids have some gift cards and are itching to use them. I don't see myself buying a leather choker from HOT Topic .Maybe i will get a new disney book when we go to the bookstore though.

I had two hamsters as a kid, one was mine, the other was my sister's .. her's was the first one that we got and it was so good - very playful... then we got mine, my expectations for him were high - and were never met!! LOL He wound up getting out of the cage, and into the heating duct - (we were doing some reno to the house, and ducts were open) - adios hamster!! Anyway - Anthony wants one - but, I'll stick to the one dog for now.. I don't need to find someone to watch more animals!!

I'm happy you are back...Everyone being so chatty is what makes this board so fun!

WOO HOO!! I am back! LOL Actually I went to WW this morning... now, remember, I went just Thursday - right?? SO, after going out to eat every night since then (can you tell I love to cook) - I LOST a big ONE pound! Not bad for 3 days - I have to tell you, I was good while out, except for Friday, we went to Bertucci's and I had pizza and the delicious rolls they put out on the table... YUM! But, I was good w/breakfasts and lunches and snacks, and you know I've been exercising - so, it's working!! Slowly though..

[micheleluvsmickey]

Well i am to spend some money so i'll check in later

Yes, maybe something for me perhaps?!?!?!?!? LOL

C'mon Michele - I figured you'd be the one in the choker at dinner!???!?!

My guys have GCs that they are saving for something.. . we have some from Target, Game Stop - and some Disney ones - those are my favorite - anyone that asks what to get my kids for bday/xmas, etc. - I always tell them Disney dollars - last year, Ant had over $500 to spend - I usually buy them shirts/hats and stuff like that, but they are totally into pin trading, and I am NOT wasting my money and that garbage - don't get me wrong, I have a few myself - but, they get all kinds, and the cheapest ones are like 7 bucks, and they go up and up from there.. so, that is their mad money - They go down to WDW w/more spending money than me!

Hey - don't go - it looks like I'll be all alone here! LOL

Where is everyone?!?!?!?!?

 

[sandym]

WOW you girls have been busy this morning! I will be doing some shopping myself today. Joanne Fabrics here I come. Hopefully I will come home with some cute Disney fabric for our FE's.

DS had a GC from Target along with $ he had been saving for legos. That's his current obsession. Took him to Target on Friday before piano lessons and he bought two small Star Wars sets.

I can't believe we only have 6 months It's so exciting.

Laurie congrats on the weight loss. I'm sure with my two nights of chicken alfredo that I found more lbs than I care to think about. I will get exercising soon though. You guys are great motivation. (although Mady's fry-up sounds divine and makes me want some fish and chips)

I"m here I have to wait for the teen to roll out of bed before I can go anywhere. I woke her up 40 minutes ago but still haven't seen her.

One pound in 3 days is great!!! I'm sure you will continue to see progress especially now that you are exercising. I know I lost a few pounds since I had no appetite when I was sick, now I have to keep from eating too much and gaining it all back (I was really bad yesterday...ordering take out since I love to cook as much as you!). Tomorrow I will try to go back to Curves & see if my asthma will cooperate.

Its funny your son wants a hamster, my son really wanted a dog but he has to settle for the hamster until DD is older!

 

[mandymouse]

I can't wait to not see dolphins at 4 am again ..lol

Spike is doing well. I had to fight Bryan to go to bed last night because he was having too much fun watching Spike run all around the cage. This morning DH had a nervous moment because he couldn't see him in the cage. I ended up reaching into the covered bed area and I assured him that Spike was indeed in there (I have the bite mark to prove it, although its my fault for disturbing his sleep). So today my plans probably involve making sure the hamster cage stays shut...you have any fun plans today?

Aww, it sounds like he's settled in well

Thanks for your FE PM

Jeff is home and we are going to do some shopping later

Have fun shopping Michele, let us know what you buy

I don't know, you could be the entertainment in Palo while wearing those one night

LOL, I know I shouldn't laugh about your escaping hamster, but it's funny

Well done on losing a pound Laurie, I like the sound of your diet

C'mon Michele - I figured you'd be the one in the choker at dinner!???!?!

I bet she's got a drawer full Laurie, but she blames the girls

Let me know if you see anything cute at Joanne's. I have to start searching for some fabric too.

Your DS sounds like he would get along well with mine. Lego and Star Wars are very big in my house (with DH too).

Have fun shopping!

 

[mandymouse]

Well we've just got back from watching National Treasure 2 - it was OK, I wouldn't rush out and buy the DVD. I think I'll stick to Indiana Jones - btw, I can't wait till that movie comes out

 

[mandymouse]

Is anyone out there ? What ya doing ?

Thanks Sandy!!!

Anything fried or alfredo is good for me!!! LOL I didn't actually exercise yet today, I'll do it tonight after dinner - I really don't feel like doing it today! But I will!!

I"m here I have to wait for the teen to roll out of bed before I can go anywhere. I woke her up 40 minutes ago but still haven't seen her.

Any luck at the fabric store?? I wish I could sleep like that - UGH! Sleeping in is anything past 7am!

WTG - get to curves - I hear that place is pretty good.. but, we have so much 'equipment' in our basement, I couldn't justify paying someplace, ya know? Plus, I would probably never go!! It's bad enough I pay WW $40 a month! The price we pay to be thin - or in my case - not as fat!

Well done on losing a pound Laurie, I like the sound of your diet

I'm back, I'm back

Thanks Mandy - I have to be better this week, I wanted to weigh in next Sunday (Bon Jovi day - LOL) - so, I figured I do this Sunday - even though we were out so much, but, like I said - I made O.K. choices and exercising did help for sure! Usually on weigh in day, I splurge a bit, but, I am not doing that this time! I am going to try to be good good good today ~ next sunday I'll splurge!

Glad the group has picked up a bit this afternoon.. I've been doing some work at home - and was surprised/happy to see the activity here!!

Hey Laurie, how often are you able to go to WW ? do you have to pay at each class ? - over here you have a registration fee, and then pay at your meeting once a week

Keep up the good work, and maybe Jon may notice you in the crowd next week

I have the 'monthly' pass - so, I pay a flat fee of $40 per month - free registration, and I can go to a meeting as many times a week as I want.. but, you can only weigh in once per week.. the week starts on sunday - so, I weighed thurs, which counted for last week - and today is a new week.. so, I can go to meetings during the week if I want, but the earliest I can weigh again is next Sunday... Am I making sense or just rambling? LOL

Oh yea, Jon MIGHT notice me! LOL He'll say - "Hey look at that fat A** out there!"

No, that makes sense Laurie, and it must be great having many meetings during the week to give you extra help and motivation

Aww, don't say that, anyway there's nothing wrong with being a bit curvy
