Well she was telling me that short sales are more complicated than foreclosures and they take an extra long time to get bank approval and then closing (at least these days because there are so many of them). Initially she wasn't even showing me any houses that were short sales. You may be right about the commission, but to be honest, I don't care. This is an opportunity for me to get a dream starter home for myself at an awersome price. And she hasn't been the best realtor to begin with.

How are the wedding plans coming?
Got ya! absolutely..its all about YOU finding the house that you want..and hopefully getting a killer deal! :thumbsup2

Geeesh!
Where IS everyone?

WHY does my house smell like cinnamon rolls???? :scared:

Yes, it's weird. I read cook books and BAKE for torture when I diet.

I'm told the cinnamon rolls were dee-licious!

Now, I posted some cheesy workout pics of me and Misty (spongemommie05) on facebook including some BUM pics. :rolleyes:...as in pictures of our derrieres! Brave I know, but I figure they'll be shrinking soon enough, so what the heck.
See..its things like this that i am missing that make me really want to join facebook! :rotfl: :rotfl2:

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the warm welcomes back. So far I've made it a day and a half on WW. So far so good.

As I mentioned before, I'm in the process of house-hunting. I know at the end of the day, I will "know it when I see it". But I'm looking for some opinions that might trigger me thinking of something I haven't thought of yet. Anyway, Saturday I'm looking at lots of houses in my "dream" neighborhood. in 2 different developments. One I have already seen models of - 2-3 bdrms plus a den with a small yard that I could eventually fence in for Winston. Some are on the lake and some aren't. For about the same price, there are 2 bedroom villas that look very much like a house but they are connected on one side to another villa. They have 2 car garage and private driveway. These are 2 bedrooms - actually both are master suites since they have a full bath in each. These houses have pools! A couple are fenced in and one is already screened in. I really like that feature but I'm giving up an extra room that I could use for an "office" - a place to just keep school/work materials and my computer, etc. But I would have my very own pool! As far as space, it is just myself and Winston. If I were to get married while still living there, we would be okay for awhile but would eventually move. Square footage wise they are the same as the houses, just a different layout. There is another house in a development that I haven't seen yet that I am very excited about seeing too. Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on this?
i would LOVE to have a pool if i lived in FL..but thats just me! i think its a great thing to have for low impact exercise..fun fun!
 
Ok I have been thinking about diets and wondering what one to choose. Has anyone done the diet by Bob Greene he's the one on Oprah. I looked at his web site and seen a few sample receipes. It looks like something I could handle and things that I could afford to make. What do you guys think? Opinions PLEASE!!! :goodvibes
 
Just popping in quickly to say I'm not weighing in this week. Unfortunately, I'm back in California, as my dad passed away this past Saturday. We were a little shocked, as he just got home from the rehabilitation center a few days before and seemed to be doing fine.

Not sure when I'll be getting back home, but I'll try to pop back in when I can. The good thing is I haven't been eating a lot, but when I have, I've been craving good healthy things. My body's telling me just what it needs to get by, so I'm listening.

Thanks for all of the past remarks about my dad... I appreciate it.

So im still here, still fighting the darn stomach flu! And, my heat went off again this morning, so Im cold again. It may be fixed by Monday! :scared1:

Wendy - The stomach flu diet can only be a good thing for me this week! I had a chocolate frenzy in the 'tin of sin' at work so its come at the right time :lmao:

Laura - Feel better soon :hug:

Shannon - Welcome back! I can't wait to see pictures of Winston!

Everyone - :wave2:

Everyone - :wave2:

So sorry about your heat - we were without heat for 10 days in December and it is the worst! Especially the cold ceramic bathroom floor first thing in the morning - brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what a wake up call!!!!
 
10 days! :scared1:
I think if it lasts 10 days when the plumber finally gets here Im going to lock him in the cellar. :rotfl:
 
10 days! :scared1:
I think if it lasts 10 days when the plumber finally gets here Im going to lock him in the cellar. :rotfl:

When ours finally arrived on the 10th day of hell, I asked him what his favourite cookies were (oatmeal and raison) and stood and cooked him a batch (the heat kept me warm!) to make sure he stayed!!!!!!

It was a miserable time - my dogs were so cold they crowded around the fan heater and took all the heat, so DH and I had nothing!!!!!!!!!!!
 
HERE IS THE CORN BREAD RECIPE..sooooo good..albeit i like my cb a bit sweeter than this one was, but i suppose you could add some honey or sweetner to it if you like..but it was MOIST and the servings were huge, i thought..for only 3 pts..it was a HIT!

1 cup(s) uncooked cornmeal, yellow
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
14 3/4 oz cream-style corn, canned
1/2 cup(s) buttermilk
2 large egg white(s)
2 tsp corn oil
* Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray.

* Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix well with a fork, then make a well in the center; set aside.

* Combine creamed corn, buttermilk, egg whites and oil in a medium bowl; mix until blended. Fold mixture into dry ingredients; mix until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

* Bake until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely before cutting into 8 squares.
ENJOY!!! :love:

I am making turkey chili in the crock pot, and think this would go nicely with it. (I won't mention the butter I want to slather on it)

It IS a very good plan. Healthy, good food, NOT gimmicky, PRO-exercise, uses normal food, etc. :thumbsup2



AMY (Dismom)- Happy Birthday!!!

and...really happy to see ya back~ you've been missed.

Maybe baking him cookies is better than locking him in the cellar! :rotfl:
Frustrating thing is, he was here yesterday afternoon and apparently he 'fixed it'. Woke up this morning, freezing cold. Not so fixed! Now all he can tell us is hopefully he'll be here before Monday.

Hmm, cookies. That is a very good idea. No abduction/kidnap laws to worry about. I hope his favourite flavour is chocolate chip - I don't like Raisins! (Not that I was planning on eating any myself...:rolleyes1 )
 
Welcome back Shannon & Amy! :wave2:

Welcome back Amy. This is a good time to start over. It's all the rage here.
37 days till Disney? Whoo hoo for you!
Thanks!!Yes,I am getting soo excited.:banana:

Shannon!! and Amy!!! Welcome back! We've had a few peeps fall off the wagon and get left behind but it's great when they find their way home. We're all starting the year right and would love if you joined us.


I had another banner day! I've been at this almost a whole week now. 3.15 mi on the TM and 30 mins on the Wii Fit. I recorded everything in my log; even the 1/4 of DH choc chip mocha frapp from starbucks. I had to guess points for it but I'm still under 25 and don't use my AP (action points for actually getting off my rear.)

Here's a little something to chuckle about....... I am totally uncoordinated. I can't get steps or rhythms right to save my soul but tonight; I was doing the step program on the Wii. It's such a basic routine, step forward, step back, change feet; step forward, step right, step left, step back. Well, I'm doing ok when DH starts snapping his fingers in time to the music. I get a bit better and he says it's easier to get the right rhythm if you snap. I started snapping and with in less than 10 steps, I'm missing the steps completely. I thought I just threw myself off balance so I start again, just steps then snapping. It happened again......... The game actually stopped so I could get myself back together and continue. I never recovered from the snapping incident. I got a bad score and will never, ever try snapping again.
Thanks for the welcome back.:goodvibes Sounds like you are doing great.And you reminded me I need to be keeping a log of what I eat/exercise.

I really liked Weight watchers and the Jillian Michaels.JM is more exercise than just diet.

Thanks for making me feel welcome and for the birthday wishes.
Welcome back Shannon & Amy! :wave2:

Thanks!
 
Today so far has been good.I got up at 5:15 and went to the gym and worked out before work.I am NOT a morning person but I loved it.Plus DH had to get the four kids ready and out the door for school.I think missing that part of the day once a week would be nice.:goodvibes

DH took me out to lunch at Applebees.I got the fajita rollup which is loaded with cheese but I compromised by eating only three fries.I also ate four of my strawberry cupcakes but they were WW ones so thats not too bad.

Now I have to go console Rachel who can't understand why we aren't have a birthday party for me tonight.Everyone is gone but the two of us and she is NOT happy.

YUMMM..i know SERIOUSLY..i am making a crockpot turkey chili next week i think...where is your recipe from??

SO...Greg is taking me away to NH tommorow till Saturday as part of my Christmas gift :love: ..I'm excited. I have a feeling my diet will be "compromised" a bit but i will still log in everything on weightwatchers mobile and go from there. I think we are planning on snow shoeing one of the days so that should earn me some exercise benefits!!!! I guess the place we are staying ( he wont' tell me much!) is a really nice bed n breakfast and we have a whole floor to ourselves with a jacuzzi and all sorts of nice stuff..sounds good to me!!
I will weigh in tommorow morning if that is ok, since scales are a No-No on vacation!!

Sorry to hear this. :Hugs: take care of yourself.

I had an interesting day. I ate all my fruits, veggies, and protein but still had almost half of my points left. I decided to splurge and got a polish sausage as part of my dinner. I feel kind of guilty because I ate something that is rather unhealthy though.

I think I have shin splints. My leg hurts when I walk. I had DH look it up, I have all the symptoms so now I have to try to work through it. Unfortunately, that means stretching twice a day and walking half as much and at half the speed I'm walking now. I hate the idea of that though because it will totally throw me off schedule. I'm going to try the stretching, compression, anti-inflamatories, ice and splitting the walk into 2 segments. I may try pool walking sometimes but it's hard to get to the pool more than 2-3 days a week.

So sorry to hear about your father. You and your family are in my prayers.

Amy - Happy birthday. Sounds like you made great choices today.

Utah Mama - You inspired me to sign up for Face Book. Now I don't know how to find you and Misty and the pictures. Can you help a girl out?
 
I got a planning DVD, where did you get a code from? I didn't see one.

Sorry if I confused you. You don't get a code with the planning DVD, but I've heard the more "stuff" you order or request from Disney, the better your chances are of getting a code.

I don't know if there's any truth to that, but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Hope you get lucky and get one!
