Good evening everyone! Wow, you guys have been chatty the last couple of days!!
Bev, I'll be saying prayers for you. I can't believe it's been months, and still not better!!
Jocelyn, thank you for the recipe link. I forgot all about it! It is now bookmarked LOL. As for the coconut, I love it!! Thank you for the recipe for the cookies.
Also, please don't be afraid to share here. We are all family in my opinion. Whatever is going on in your life, it's important to us. No matter how big or little. Laugh, cry, whatever. If your feeling down, let us all join hands, and we'll pick you up. We love you and would never get upset with you for sharing with us. If you want to share, it's important to you, and as I said, if it's important to you, it's important to us.
Lisa, I don't know if I would trust my girls trick or treating at your house!! If you kidnapped Carrie, you'd return her in a day. She is OCD about cleaning. Her room is just so. She drives me CRAZY!
Also, love the lights! We will be needing new lights at our side door. I am thinking maybe coach lights if you don't mind me copying you.
Congrats on the lost inches!! I am so happy for you. I absolutely love Ross! That is where I bought the first dress for Tristan's wedding. I am in need of a new purse and want to get one there I think. Or at Marshalls.
Nell, I remember not too long ago, watching a show on TV that dealt with bedbugs. I can't remember what show it was, but a whole community was infected. They brought in professionals with these huge air fans that go up to I believe it was around 200*. They said that was the only way to kill them. They had special lights they could use in the darkened room to find them. One daughter was so mad at her mom for "transporting" them, she didn't speak to her for a while. She treated her mom like crap. Her mom was so upset. I felt sooo bad for her.
Cindy, thanks for the reminder of the song. I will be singing it the rest of the night. Mike will have me commetted!!
Carol, thank you for sharing your conversation with your sister. Doesn't it make you feel loved when they say stuff like that? My sister is always telling me even though she's 1500 miles away, she doesn't know what she'd do without me. She is my only sister and the middle child. I'm the youngest. My brother is the oldest. They really make me feel special.
Pam, CONGRATS!!!! I'm so glad mom and baby are doing well. My girls were about the same size. They looked so very tiny!! Please pass on my congrats to mommy, daddy, and baby.
Robin, that is the sweetest thing!! And yes, people do still wear them. I actually still have mine from my ex-hubby. It had both our names inscribed on it with a small diamond in the middle. I am so happy for you that you found such a sweet gentleman!! And you're promising to "wait" for him LOL.
Stwill, congrats on the weight loss and inches lost!! You are doing great!!
Melanie, I don't think you should really go by weight. Go by the way clothes are fitting. I am one of those (close your eyes TuTu) daily weighers. My weight will flucuate by at least 3 pounds a day. After a fluxuation of about 3 or 4 days, I show a consistant loss. Right now I've been gaining/losing the same 3 pounds for about 2 days now. But I know my clothes fit me better, so I don't fixate on the weight aspect.
Barb, conrats on you're job being secure. In these times, that's a very good thing!!
All is going well here. I am on my 3rd day of actually feeling almost human LOL. I have been getting a lot of stuff done. Even cooking suppers!
Tonight I made home made chicken noodle soup. For my noodles, I used the spaghetti squash. I am impressed. It was good!
I don't like green tea at all. I do take the pills though. I have been drinking more decaf coffee now that it's getting cooler out. I easily drink 64oz of it. But I need to be drinking water, not coffee. OUCH!! Tutu just zapped me

I have been playing with the same 3 pounds for the last days. I know not to put anything into the scale. Just amazes me how our bodies go up and down. I actually get a chuckle out of it. But I have noticed my "lighter" days are when I eat the way I should.
Well, off to read my book some before bed. Now that I'm all caught up, it won't take me as long to read through them and post.
I'll be back before bed.
