Wow!! That is awesome!! I lost a whole bunch of weight with Weight Watchers after I had Tessa. I was down to my goal weight and wearing a size 4 jeans. *sigh* Then, I got pregnant with Sawyer and haven't made the effort to do the program again.On a similar note, but unrelated to sewing...I am doing my final "mentor" session next Monday for Weight Watchers! I am training to be a leader and next Monday I will be conducting my first meeting with my trainer and my mentor both watching!Please please please wish me luck!

Hi friends,
I am leaving shortly for a 4 hour drive in a winter storm warning to go to lander. There is the brain injury conference and I wanted to go to see if there is any progress in recovery.
FD will be offered for Chase Visa card holders tomorrow so I hope they understand when I have to run out and call CRO! to get my FD.
Wishing everyone a good week. Still sick!![]()
Just for you we waited in line for over two hours so we could be in the front And you know I NEVER wait in line LOL
We were actually front row about 5 people from the center. As soon as I figure our how I will try and email you the video.
I watched one of my friends get engaged tonight at bible study. We are a close knit group of girls, and he got on one knee in front of us. I felt so lucky to be there for their special moment. I am sooo happy for her!!!

Madi came in as I was posting and wanted to use all the smilies she likes.
Like Heather said, we could be Daniela's Mom! I'm so glad she likes to hang out with us old people though!Teresa, I consider Daniela our little sister not the baby. It makes me feel less old (cough, cough).
I have some things to show off, maybe later. Right now I am consumed with a weird rash on one side of Megan's neck. Yesterday was the make-up day for field day (it rained Monday) so she was outside quite a bit so I think it might be heat rash. It is red, itchy and pimply looking. I put some benadryl topical cream on it to help with the itch and it looks worse this morning! I am going to try some of that bactroban cream they gave me for her butt infection. Any of my nurse friends who have better ideas, please share!
Good morning everyone!!!
Just wondering.... Anyone out there in disboutique land watch The Biggest Loser last night???
I just have to know because I need to let everyone here know that TARA ROCKS!!!! Could you believe your eyes when she came from behind, withj all that extra weight to win the challenge?!?!?!? She's my hero! (if you haven't seen it- you need to- it's AWESOME!)

I got an e-mail from hudsonsinaf today. Her name is Shannon. She doesn't post much, but she's a lurker. We e-mail each other every once in a while and she's a real sweetheart. Here's some of the e-mail:
"Our youngest daughter, Samantha, who was born January 16th is having some issues. Since birth, she has had feeding issues. Over the last few weeks, she has had weird swelling over her right temple area that at times gets more severe, and moves down her jaw. During the periods of severity, she refuses to eat and starts vomiting. Today we took her to the pediatrician for a weight check. In the last week, she has lost half a pound. He started looking at her swelling and decided to do a head x-ray to see if anything showed up... it came back abnormal. We are being sent to MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina) to the oncology floor tomorrow morning.
Let me re-emphasize, we do not know anything as of yet! I know whenever I hear the words "oncology" and "cancer" my heart drops and I think the worst. We are praying that the pediatrician is just being extremely overcautious and wants to eliminate the worst possibilities first. With that said, however, it amazes us that they got us a next day appointment considering it usually takes FOREVER for the military to get us sent anywhere - we are going without a referral or pre-authorization, which just never happens!
Please pray for the wisdom of the doctors, health for Sam and peace of mind for us... "
Henry was in a motorcycle accident soon after we were married (when we were both 20 and looked about 12). The nurses would kick me out at the end of the day and wouldn't let me back until visiting hours started in the morning. Looking back, I thought it was because we both looked so young. But, his roomate was allowed to have visitors until midnight (since the visitor worked at the hospital) and he would stay up all night watching tv. UGH! Thankfully the hospital has switched to all private rooms now. If I had it to do over again, I would have told them that I WAS STAYING! Don't be afraid to speak up if you want to come earlier or stay later.
I am a huge fan of the Biggest Loser! I love that show. I don't really feel the love for Tara, BUT last night was awesome.

Not that great in my opinion.
Its sweet, but not much flavor beyond that. Frosting tastes a lot better
We frost first then put the fondant on... and peel it off before we eat it. But it sure can look pretty. And maybe some of the other brands of fondant taste better? Sugarcraft has a few options, but we haven't tried them yet.
Another great Jedi and cloak too!
COOL! How did you do the cowboy?
Hope George is feeling better today. Hope the mean one is off for a few days.
Lots of prayers for Sam and her family!![]()

When Olivia's Mom was 18 weeks pregnant, they were told Olivia had severe heart deffects and were encouraged to end the pregnancy. Of course her parents wouldn't do that, and Olivia has proved to be a little fighter!! (I'm crying just typing this) She has had three heart surgeries since she has been born, and hopefully will require no more.

Offering prayers for little Samantha.
Also, I just checked out the newest Big Give and the trip report and I almost cried. I've been hesitant to jump in on these as I'm such a novice but I have a little sister too...
So, I'll work out what I have the nerve to make and sign up by tomorrow. (See if I give myself a deadline like that, I'll have to do it. Right? Please hold me accountable or I'll chicken out!!)
Just wanted to comment on this. I'm not a big fondant fan, but I made my daughter's cake this past weekend and made marshmallow fondant. Tasted really good and everyone seemed to like it! I think it's the texture I don't really care for, but it makes a really pretty cake! Check out cakecentral dot com if you haven't already. They've got thousands of cake pictures and lots of recipes too!
I googled it and found this, seems simple and straight forward:Ooooo! Haven't heard of Marshmellow Fondant.
I will have to check that out.
