DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!

Do we need to send out a search party for the Utah crew??? I'm getting concerned.

KAT....I thought I quoted you too. Good luck on your review today! Save some calories for a beer tonight!

WINKERS....What about those pictures. Chop, chop!!!

I haven't tried that one, but I tried Pom, which is pomegranate juice -
I LOVE fresh pomegranates, but that stuff is nasty!

My DD loves that POM stuff. We have so many glasses we can't fit them all in the cabinet! I wouldn't know a fresh pomegranate if I saw one. Do they have them at Kroger?

Oh well, I will probably see him tomorrow as well since he works there every single day and I'm there every single day.

I read that "and I'm single every day" Good luck Shannon! He's sounds like a sweetheart.

hey hey hey, just add vodka... Seriously, I"ve been buying my Pom juice at a world market,

Why do you drink just a little a day? Sounds like what my mom does with the acai berry juice. Google Bossa Nova beverage and look at the chart re: acai, pomegrate, blueberry etc.

Lexi if you come to chicago, I hope you tell me, I'd love to meet up with you

My neice moved into an apartment in Hyde Park a coupla weeks ago. How far to Woodfield Mall?

Melinda,thanks for missing me

Yay! for baseball being over and prayers for Peyton. Sounds painful!

night ya'll thanks for listening...

RE: Dene....I predict Jay will turn her in to People magazine and she'll be on the cover holding out her old briches next year with a headline that says "HOW I LOST 150 POUNDS". Harley....sounds like things have been overwhelming lately. Lots of prayers headed your way for your puppy, your sweet boss, and your coworker who had surgery. Hang in there, sweet girl. It can only get better. And think of the beach, the beach, the beach......

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Melinda - you are a gem! Thank you so much for taking the time to make us feel so special!! I appreciate your summaries!!

esp when you find a "thanks for noticing me" or remembering someone's special day, event... time... and they post - I read those posts and just want to wrap my arms around both of you! (the one example today - Dismom!) Life gets hectic, that's for sure... and I'm often reminded, we really dont know what goes on behind "computer" doors!

UTAH? GEORGIA? hmmmm must be outdoors... Thank God for turning on his air conditioner today! WooHOO! Its not going to get above 70deg F today!! yummy cool, no humidity!

Yesterday in the class I'm taking at district office - a new employee (not fresh meat! She relocated from S Dakota!) told me her new position - at dd school "resource" teacher... I jumped for joy - yes, they got rid of the witch in the library... HUGE MISTAKE... I so put my foot in my mouth... she is going to be the new "LD" teacher... you'd think *I* could keep up with all the names!!

For instance, what do you suppose the "Information Literacy" person teaches? at the "middle school" ?

In honor of upcoming 4th of July - I've painted my toes red... I'm also hearing alice and the Queen of Hearts in my head!!

I gave up trying to figure calories yesterday.
1T Peanut butter on toast
12 oz hot tea (cinnamon!)
1 leftover homemade hamburger
bun
1T Ketchup
1 200 calorie slimfast bar
1 large bowl of salad w
grape tomatoes (5)
2 carrots (large 'mini")
1 oz of fresh mozzerella cheese
Homemade Balsamic Vinegar w app 2T Olive Oil (I like it vinegary)

I meant to have 2 pretzel sticks, but dh came home and I forgot!!

During the class breaks I walked around the building... but other than that I was remiss in my ab work, I did SUCK IT IN at traffic lights...

 

[harleygirl]

hey sexy lexy! morning to ya!

i am trying to envision my self right now with my toes in sand and a cool breeze on my face and the sound of crashing waves. then there in the backkground i hear "Mom, MOm MOOOOMMMMM I'm hungry"

yes dismom all next week we will be SSSOOO skinny - I've got my trusty koozie all ready!! and the margarita mix and salt is ready and my friend Jose is in his brown bag ready to go and the ameretto and the rum and the MIKEalobes(thats what trev calls them )

okay so i am stealth posting this a.m. hope ya'll have a skinny day -

Wonders heres to you girl- there are several "eye candies" here that we girls in the office crush on....(even those of us who are married ) enjoy your time and strike up a friendship...dont focus so much on a "relationship" just have fun and be friendly...this person will like you for who you are pretty girl...

 

[harleygirl]

hey eeyore!

 

[Sparkie]

Good Morning! (I'm on DH shop computer before the shop turns into a sauna)

It is a little cooler here today. Still need rain. Wish Texas could send us some- I know they have had enough. I feel so sorry for all the people who have been at mother natures wrath this summer. Fires in GA and NV, Floods in TX, and my poor AL is dehydrating- all just part of the circle of life.

Punkin I so hope that you and your friend get to stay with us. I need someone I will be able to understand JK!

my2boys Are you going to be in Disney with me? We are there July 6 to July 16.

Dene I am so proud of you!

wonders Even if secret crush isnt ready for a gf dont let that stop you in the pursuit. Do the group thing- let him see what a great catch you are. You know I have a friend at work who is a single mom- and she has dated off and on but I think her mistake is she is looking for a husband and not a friend. She gets too serious too quick and it never works for her. So I think group stuff is a good place to start. And a little flirting never hurt anybody

lexie Good luck on the job!

dismom Dont sweat the swimsuit thing. No one is really looking. Just have fun! I love the Pannis too! I like the chicken bacon ranch and the southwest chicken and the steak and mushroom. I tried the chicken and spinach- didnt like it- no flavor. Good luck on DS baseball game- hope his thumb is better. Sound like he is really good- maybe some future college money in it for him.

Kat What does boss mean about "off the record"? I hope everything goes well for you. We are doing evals this month too. I have to do a self eval and a eval on my charge nurse and my unit director. It all came in a stapled packet but is supposed to be annoymonous (I cant spell it- you know "secret") but since I turn it in with my other stuff with my name on it and it is hand written how can I be honest. My charge nurse (the person directly in charge of my shift) has turned into a NUT here lately. She has caused 2 people to leave already and 5 others are looking to leave because of her. She had breast CA a year and a half ago- they caught it early and she is doing well from that but she cant take her menopause hormones anymore so her mood swings are BAD!! The doc tried to help her and put her on Depoprovera -a different kind of hormone- but the main side effect is- MOOD SWINGS- so she is also taking Effexor (she aint taking enough) Anyway- my coworkers and I have considered hitting her with and ambien when she comes in the door and locking her in the closet until morning. So how do I write that my BOSS is a NUT!! She has to evaluate me too- I do want to remain employed. So I'm considering just writing at the bottom of the page: My momma always told me: If you cant say something nice- dont say nothing at all. So how's that? Anyway hope your eval is good.

Harley for your puppy and your work stuff. Sometimes you just need a good cry.

Who is the peep trying ALLI? How is it going?

Good morning everyone! Its sauna-like here in New England yet again..i am hoping it will rain and break this humidity..my hair is so clown like right now its ridiculous!!

Anyhoo..i saw Evan ALmighty last night, i thought it was really cute. It was weird seeing Lauren Graham as anyone but Lorelai ( shout out to Gilmore fans)..but i liked it...the animals were a riot.

Harley.... , sounds like you need a few of those

Wonders...just do your thing with the "crush"..if its meant to happen, it will..just be your WONDERful self

Have a great day everyone!!!

Morning Peeps!

 

[Sparkie]

I'm thinking ahead. . .

Next summer my girls are going to do competition dance. The studio that they dance for usually does very well and has made nationals every year. Next summer the nationals are in New York City.

Are there any Peeps in that area with a spare couch?

 

[HockeyKat]

Thanks for all the good lucks!!

Harley, so sorry that your life is crazy... here is a .

..

I totally agree!! Melinda, for all the times you make us feel like people actually read our posts!

I wish, going to be 95 and humid as crap here. But then again, it is NC in late June...

Information Literacy, I would imagine that means either librarian or computer teacher, or maybe both?

I wish I knew what it meant... could be anything. I HATE when people tell you they are going to tell you something important... tomorrow. It is like me coming up to you and saying, Hey, I have bad news, but I won't tell you about it now, I will let you go home and stew and not sleep and spend an entire day worrying about what it could be.

Hope everyone has a skinny day, I am off to the gym!

Hopefully I will be living out on my own by then but we are around an 80 minute train ride from the city- post up here or PM me when it gets close because sometimes when my parents or my dbf and I go to shows in NYC we stay there overnight to make it a weekend trip and sometimes the hotels send me really cheap discount codes!

 

[winkers]

Crush update
Anyway, I'm trying to talk to him more but I just feel like I'm being annoying.

Oh well, I will probably see him tomorrow as well since he works there every single day and I'm there every single day. We'll see how it goes.

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday! The weekend is getting closer!

Men can be very dense when it comes to catching on! Flirt away!

OKay - so life in Harleyland is like this...busy,busy and busy tossed with a whole lots of stress and heartache.
:

Harley, I'm so sorry you're having a hard time!

 

[celerystalker]

lex - they used to sell pomegranate's at Kroger when I was little, but I never see them anymore. I'll google a pic later and show you what they look like. good luck on the job!
remember if you don't get it, you can always commute to Nashville!

 

[Tinkabella]

Hi Everyone !

I have been lurking around again and I just wanted to say that I have been keeping up with the reading and think you are all amazing !

Dene...You are AMAZING ! I read your post to a friend who is 350 + and you have inspired him to take his life back. We cried together as we talked about you and you 100 + milestone. From the bottom of my heart "God Bless You " you may not know it, but you have given people the motivation to charge their lives ! YOU GO Girl !!!!

I am still maintaining my weightloss and have found a new favorite lunch.... WW whole wheat tortilla with yogort onion greek dip/spread (from costco)...This stuff is SUPER YUMMY. I add veggies (red pepper, cucumber, red onion and sliced apple) and voila ! Quick and simple summer lunch.

Have a super day Peeps...


Kim

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I'm SO joining this thread after the baby is born...

and I will definately be looking to you MAMA'S for advice on baby-weight loss!

 

[lexmelinda]

OH. MY. GOSH.

Are we still on the same page?

Where are the peeps????

Any word from the Utah crew? I worry!

Lauren! We have 2 peeps that are currently pregnant. You'll fit right in! (Oh...I hope it's not contagious!)

KIM! I always love to see you post! Your lunch sounds delicious but there's no costco here! What's in the sauce?

Kat & Sandy....I got all watery-eyed when I read your sweet posts today! You know how to make a girl feel special.

Mel, Sparkie, Harley, MA, and everybody else....

 

[Wonders10]

I can't believe it! I've been checking this thread all day and I can't believe we are still on this page! What's going on? Is everyone on summer vacation or something?

Today was a great day. My sessions went really well. My little boy who is so slow with his progress is talking more and more. And, even better, hardly went to mom at all during the session. He actually would get the toy and bring it back to me! Finally! I'm a little concerned though when the semester ends, and I don't come back. A new clinician will get him since I'm off to my externship. Hopefully he'll continue in the right direction.

And I talked to the crush today . I feel like I'm stalking him But I actually did have to do stuff in his "office". Then I decided that I would just sit in there after my session and write out my data and check my email (for the 1000th time) and struck up a conversation. I was trying to see if he was just being polite and answering my question or actually adding to the convo...and he was asking me questions back. I told him we could use an extra set of hands at camp (that is SO not a lie!). I stressed that Mondays and Fridays would be great (when I'm in there ) He sort of smiled and said to just let him know and he'd try to come down. And he mentioned a study group for our upcoming final. I told him to let me know if he does something and he said he would definitely let me know. And if I smile anymore at this guy when I'm walking by him, my face will crack. I'm wondering if he's getting any of my hints. And what he thinks about it. But we're making progress!

So that is the Thursday Crush update. TGTIF...Thank Goodness Tomorrow is Friday! I really hope camp goes well tomorrow. Our troubled child had a bad day today...and on Tuesday. I really hope that tomorrow is a "good" day. We desperately need more help in there.

Hope all is well...wherever you all are!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Lauren! We have 2 peeps that are currently pregnant. You'll fit right in! (Oh...I hope it's not contagious!)

Oh man. It really seems like it is. I remember finding out I was expecting and then I hear from friends I hadn't talked to in awhile and what do you know? They're expecting, too!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'm here too ladies! It must be really nice outside or something. (It isn't here! Rained all week.)

Where is Utah?

Tinkabella - always good to hear from you!

Shannon - way to go on the flirting!

And WELCOME Lauren Elizabeth! You'll love it here!

Tomorrow is my endoscopy, so think good thoughts for me please! I'll weigh in the morning, but I don't know if I'll have time to post or not. If not, I'll post it as soon as I can.

And I just posted a new installment to my trip report for the inquiring minds who want to know.

 

[celerystalker]

We intterupt this broadcast for a UTAH UPDATE!

Word has it that her internet is down. If it's not back by tomorrow, she's asked LexMelinda to handle the weighins.

We now return you to your previously scheduled program, already in progress.
