DDA Chapter 24

[PNO4TE]

We were supposed to get a "dusting"

It is still coming down, and it is blowing around. It is NOT pretty.

This is a shameless plug for the last post on my TR. If you like Whoopi Goldberg and you like music from the Candlelight Processional, this is not a bad watch/listen. She had a ball!

Glynis -- I think your plan of low fat soup and salad would work well. My problem is I like to load up on fattening things at the salad bar! I ate my way through holiday break and am now paying for it. If I would just count the points and stop snacking, I could get it off quickly, but it's never that easy for me.

I hear you, Marci! I'm usually the same way. That's why I like Zupa's. The salads are made for you, and you don't get to choose. The only choice you get is dressing on the side or on top of the salad. I've got to start adding in some exercise, or I'm never going to see a change in my weight! I've been staying pretty static since the baby was born, and I'd like to get about 20 pounds off.

My niece swears by her Zumba class. I sure wish there was one close to me. It sounds like fun and exercise at the same time, which is what I need!

My boss loves Zumba as well! For my physical therapy I've been doing pilates. I'm not very good at it, but it sure has helped my shoulder. Now I need to find time for Cardio... You're right that it would help jumpstart weight loss. Now to make the time, at least on the weekends.

Elin -- Great video of CP!

Thanks!

I am glad the Pilates is helping your shoulder!

Update on the laptop! I never heard from the seller yesterday & no laptop was delivered(mailman finally made it around 6pm). I filed a dispute with Paypal & this was in my email mailbox this morning from the seller:

I just spoke with my associate and during the holiday rush, apparently three items were overlooked in shipping - your laptop was one of them. This is why it hasn't shown a shipping update. I have just created a new shipment through UPS and it will go out Monday with a guaranteed delivery of Wed night (it says end of day). I have entered your email address on the UPS site so that it will update you with new news as to where it is once it's shipped.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I also hope that as soon as you receive the laptop you will close the dispute in paypal and my funds will transfer back to my account. Please respond.

Thank you,

I really think I was going to be taken had I not filed a dispute. I am still irritated about this, I mean she did not notice the laptop still laying around All I can say is bull....! She knew she had not shipped yet & her not communicating with me till now proves it(to me anyway). I already have the tracking number for UPS & really wonder why it is not going out today???????? So I will wait till Wednesday, if/when it arrives it better be exactly like describe or my dispute will not be closed & I will get a refund.

I am so, so sorry....but it seems to me she was also trying to take you. I hope it comes as stated also (but I think her listing is vague enough to state it is what the listing said...no matter the condition). Ours went out the next morning and came last night....yours has a little more memory and a little newer than ours. Isn't it amazing the polar opposite dealings we have had on ebay?

Oh & good morning, we are sitting at a balmy 7 degrees this morning with a windchill of only 2 below

We are at 2 and a windchill of -20.

I have been a bad, bad DDAer....I haven't been reading your trip reports (mostly my mood)....I am rectifying that this morning.

Good Morning DDA!!

Another cold day here in Colorado but chili is on tap (I had grabbed enough of everything to double my recipe except chili beans grocery shopping so I had to stop and get them last night) and the girls and I will watch at least one 80's film tonight with popcorn. I am so happy that Cassidy likes the 80's teen flicks...it's nice to have somebody to share those with.

 

[MrsHeg]

It's up to 30 degrees here and is supposed to be in the teens tonight, I have once again been put on house arrest, , Dr. DH is sure that this cold weather will do me in.

Janet,
Hope you receive the laptop by Wednesday.

Terry is at BWI. She packed this morning two minutes before she left the house.

That doesn't make you a bad DDAer! Makes you in a crummy mood and not wanting to read them! I can totally relate and no offense is taken at all. Although I am very glad you went and watched the CP video.

I have 2 brand new pilates dvds. I plan to break one out today as I promised myself that I would start exercising today. Actually I have done a few minutes on the Wii Fit this morning, but I am going to do more.

It is so nice that he cares that much, Debbie! I hope you take his orders!

I am glad she made it to the airport! I hope the latest round of snow we got doesn't impact the departure!

So at what age does hot flashes start? Every night for the last few weeks I have woken up in a total sweat. I wake up several times during the night to either remove blankets because I'm sweating or to add blankets because I'm freezing. My pj's are actually damp in the morning. It sounds like the start of menopause to me, but what to I know Next question is what do I do to stop them

Stephanie thanks for the card. The girls love it as well

Deb - you are a little young, but it is not out of the realm of possibility. I started pre-menopausal hot flashes in 1994... I was 43. My doctor tried to tell me I was too young. I showed him!

 

[mommykds]

Deb,
I swear I have already started (I'm 41). I have flashes to the point that I need to get into cold air immediately. I become soaked at night & also have trouble sleeping (which is not like me). Sounds premenopausel to my Dr.
