[crarmy]

Oops I didn't read far down enough, so...

crarmy[/B]... how about it? got time for lunch?

I am so sorry , but our visit will be mega short this time, my son is saying bye-bye to his grandparents, and then we are off to New Mexico. But I would love to meet some of my fellow peeps, maybe next time. Thanks for the invite.

crarmy... I'm 30 minutes southwest of Fort Worth.

Anywhere close to Granbury??

WELCOME NEW PEEPS and Lurking Peeps!!

I've wanted to start a post... "ALL LURKERS post a "I'm here" ' thread!! Look at the sign in something like over 250,000 hits onto this thread!! Can you imagine all the support that's out here!!!

I'm in a fog, and daze - so forgive me!! I'm posting a "ditto" to Dene's synopsis!! Thanks oh talented one!! Good luck on the book - I'm sure it will be a hit!!

Prayers for Ryan and your friend Lynda!! so heartwrenching!! Hope you can keep us up to date - circling up in prayer!!

 

[eeyore45]

You fellow Texans - I know where you are!! I wanna go home!!! (and it really makes me cry!!)

I am on overload...

Here's another piece of work looking for a punch up!! Cover letter - (and I beg, beg that someone will read it and know I really really mean it!! Its so much more than words, but I hope the words get me in the door and a contract for me to sign!! NOW!!!)

I am seeking a classroom elementary teaching position within your school district. I am an excellent candidate for your district. I am a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher and I will make positive contributions to the school district.

I do believe no child is left behind. I believe as a teacher I facilitate their learning, using methods gained from Ball State University, Bernstein’s Artful Learning, and Understanding by Design . Each child can succeed.

I believe my varied background, experiences, and training are an asset to the learning environment.

Sincerely,
Sandy

Dude! You hit 500 posts! Wooooo Hooooty!

Hot diggity! I'm finally a veteran! It probably would have taken me a few weeks to notice that, so thanks for the heads up!

Well, this is my 1st weigh in so bear with me!!

Thanks!!! You all are a great group!!

AWESOME!!! Good work! (<--- I sure hope that's a male cheerleader!) Now then, what you'll want to do next week Friday is post in big red letters at the top of your post Lost xxx pounds for the whole world to see. This makes it easier for the person keeping track to see it and add it to our total tally. But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it!

Great job! Keep it up!

 

[punkin413]

Crap we just went through this! Had to get a new hard drive and everything.
Hopefully the security will do it's job! Be careful peeps!!!!

this morning when i got up it was fine. ray thinks there was something up with the codes on msn and our avast virus protection picked up on it. he explained it to me, but it sounded like, "blah blah blah blah computer blah blah msn blah blah blah virus blah blah blah i'm a dork" to me!

hello all! I have been a lurker for long enough, (at least 100 pages recently and skimming over the past months) I think I am really ready to do this thing now.

welcome!!!!!! your post was hysterical! i think you'll fit right in with us! you've been around for awhile so you know how things work....jump right in!

On the weight front I have lost 5 lbs in the last 6 weeks.

we've missed you! and congrats on that 5 pounds!!!!

just like Rizzo (our ****zu puppy)

i can't believe your doggie's breed got censored! by the way, i see you're in clarkesville. i grew up in nashville.....gallatin to be exact. isn't there an army base near clarksville? my sister's ex-though-she-still-talks-to-him boyfriend lives on an army base somewhere near clarksville, but he's moving to kennesaw, georgia at the end of the month for school.

side note: So you think you can dance results last night..i was totally fine with them

i was okay, too, although i have to say i didn't like seeing lauren in the bottom 4. i thought she did really, really good. i guess that means now i'm gonna have to start voting!

For now I wanted to first ask for Peep prayers for my friend, the one that's supposed to be getting married tomorrow! Her fiance was in a wreck the other night and is in the hospital! He is OK. Apparently, he has a small fracture of a cervical vertebrae, but he's OK. However, they waited all day yesterday for results/information, and heard NOTHING from the doctor! They do not know at this point if he will be discharged in time for the wedding to still take place tomorrow. They still have to pay for everything of course. But we don't know yet if the wedding is actually happening tomorrow or not. I am praying, and I know the power of Peep prayers, so I thought I'd put out a request. Thanks so much!

talk about stress!!! your poor friends! prayers and pixiedust coming their way......

well, i'm - 1 pound today. 5 to go!!!!

hello all! I have been a lurker for long enough, (at least 100 pages recently and skimming over the past months) I think I am really ready to do this thing now. I'm tired of reading all of the weight losses and feeling left out and jealous! Just a little background on my dieting history, about 2 years ago I lost 40 pounds on the Atkins diet , with alot of exercise. I would diet like crazy all week, and cheat on weekends. The weight came off, and then I got lazy. Halloween, a couple of birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a teenage daughter starting high school, all of these things provided great excuses for eating! Oh yeah, halloween candy! birthday cake! school parties for my first grader! (You know, I was the mom bringing in the vegatable tray, which by the way, the kids loved, but I could not resist the other moms cupcakes!!!) and of course, lovely batches of delicious Christmas cookies. It's hard being a good cook sometimes. And yes, I meant that 2 ways, I am only a good cook sometimes. But, to get to the point, the scale that I had been avoiding all winter (sometimes with a good little kick to get it out of my way) finally jumped in my way and revealed to me that I had put on 25 of those hard lost pounds!!!! How did I not know this you ask? Well, maybe you ask, maybe your just sitting there shaking your head thinking, It was the food you Idiot! or maybe your not even reading this ridiculously long post and and have totally bypassed it! But I kind of hid it from myself because it was winter (umm..in Florida) (umm... for AT LEAST 2 weeks!) and I was hiding behind my jackets and jeans. Well, I was trying to hide my behind but it just kept getting BIGGER!!! But when I went to pull out my summer clothes (shorts) they did not fit!!! Well, they kind of fit, if you don't count the zipper being stuck in the down position... not a pretty sight. Trust me. I spent all of May and June on the south beach diet.... with NO CHEATING! and lost 14 pounds. But we had to cancel our WDW trip at the beginning of July (due to moving timeframe conflicts,) so I gave myself the week off of dieting. (not like I would have been dieting that week anyway, in WDW, right?) Well, me and my big mouth ate 10POUNDS back on that week!!! and more But now, I am ready. (again) Yall have inspired me. I actually did 100 situps yesterday after reading about 100 pages of motivational posts. I admit, not having done situps in a looong time it was hard! But I thank you for the shove. I feel like I know yall, (not in a weird stalker way either) and I look forward to this challenge. Well a little bit. With cheat days. But you know what I mean! That's what is great about this forum, I actually feel like you all DO understand.

Great first post!! Welcome to the group, post often! Your roller coaster sounds SOOO familiar.

Well, this is my 1st weigh in so bear with me!!

I started at 194 & am down to 186!!!! in 17 days!!!!

Thanks!!! You all are a great group!!

Congrats!!

Man what a freakin day. I am finally eating my lunch if that gives you any indication.

 

[eeyore45]

I 2nd that Kat!

WTG and WOOHOOTY LOSER PEEPS!!

Male but of course!!

Dene Thank you so much for giving me your time and talent!! I tell you I was not close to 'Losing' it... well ok - maybe!!

Now to dig up my college transcripts (which I know are on file as I'm a district permanant substitute!) (and I graduated in the 80's!)

I was thinking about uploading a head shot to my cover letter???

Answering for someone else here, but Fort Campbell is there. Our family friends who live in Nashville have a daughter who lives in Clarksville, and in the past one of their other daughters dated a guy who was stationed there.

talk about stress!!! your poor friends! prayers and pixiedust coming their way......

well, i'm - 1 pound today. 5 to go!!!!

Woo Hooty on your being so close to goal!!! That is EXCITING!


Thanks! THE WEDDING IS ON!!! My friend's sister called me a little while ago to tell me that he was being discharged and he wanted to get married tomorrow! I'm headed to rehearsal after work. Not sure if they will still do the dinner afterwards though. I say take the poor man out for some food! I guess if he's not feeling up to it though... Oh, and I still don't know if he'll be wearing a neck brace tomorrow or not.

 

[dance2874]

side note: So you think you can dance results last night..i was totally fine with them

Me too, I guess. I wasnt happy about the guy really, but I loved most of the ones left anyways. And the girl is fantastic, but she makes all dance styles look the same to me

I would have told them you didn't think they were coming so you made other plans!!!

Believe me, I thought about it. BUT, I wanted to be sure I got paid for the rest the week today so I had to be here for her regardless

On a related note-
I have that new family I agreed to start working for mid-August, so I will be giving my 'notice' of sorts when she comes back today to get the kids. I will give her 2 weeks if she needs it, but she has done this sort of thing way too often, and my time is just as valuable as hers. The new lady gave me a 2 week deposit to 'hold her place' until August, so I feel confident getting rid of a family that is so flakey. The only thing I am not so sure about is watching her 4yr old, my 4 yr old and her 3 mo old....while pregnant. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.....I may need to repeat that a few times I think.

As for my weigh in info, I am down 2 lbs! So my total loss is 30.6 lbs. And I get a new ribbon. I wish I could be more excited about it, but right now I need Midol and I just can't stop thinking about my friend! I'll be excited later though, I'm sure.

WHOOHOOTY! Such pretty gold bling you have! We had a few peeps earning new bling today, huh?!

Thanks! THE WEDDING IS ON!!! My friend's sister called me a little while ago to tell me that he was being discharged and he wanted to get married tomorrow! I'm headed to rehearsal after work. Not sure if they will still do the dinner afterwards though. I say take the poor man out for some food! I guess if he's not feeling up to it though... Oh, and I still don't know if he'll be wearing a neck brace tomorrow or not.

I am so glad! That had to be just a bit stressful for everyone, huh? I am sure it will be ok. Maybe if he does need a neck brace, he can remove it for some pictures if he is careful?

 

[dance2874]

well, i'm - 1 pound today. 5 to go!!!!

WHOOHOOTY! That is great!!

(and I have to say I cant see the name Clarksville without singing that Monkeys song in my head! )

 

[pigget74]

WELCOME NEW PEEPS!!!

Yes, There is an army base here and that is why I am here. DH is a medevac pilot in the army. I Love Nashville....we try to go several times a month, and we love the zoo. I grew up in Alpharetta, Ga (not far from Kennesaw)
I can't wait for DH to retire from the military so we can move BACK.
