Karen, I wondered when you changed your signature.
You used to say you had so many pounds to lose and now it says I have
no will power.

Either you already lost what you needed to and that would be awesome
or you've given up.

Hey you can't do that! You're my idol! All that chat about all the different exercise classes you were doing....you gave me incentive! I was thinking
"oh, wow, she is soooooo committed! She's going to be in fabulous shape come cruise time!" "I have to start making myself get off my lazy @$$!"

Karen, my role model.....don't say you've given up.....
I hate my round belly too!

Hi Rose

I got fed up of looking at it and not being able to change the amount I had to lose - I have been the same weight now for 5 weeks - I confess I have very little willpower over food but my exercise regime was good. I just love food too much I will keep exercising, but when its cold outside I cant bear salads etc - I like warm comforting food thats full of calories and fat I'll try again in a couple of weeks to get back on track, but for now "I have no willpower and a round tummy" just about sums me up

Oh Karen, sorry to hear that you lost the house. Maybe an even better one will become available for you guys.

So the internet service at work was down and out today. I posted twice from there and it just took the computer down and never posted.

Got home from work an hour ago when it was sunny and warm out. Now the stinkin' sun is hiding behind the clouds and it got cool out again. Guess I'll still take my little "Spawn of Satan" out for a nice long walk anyway.

Off to the park with my newly "Energized Dog"!!

 

[GOS]

Called the vet to see what we should be watching for and she doubts that he actually ate the battery. He's fine this morning. Looks like we'll be in the front yard with boots on this afternoon looking for a battery rather than the park.

Could he be like the energizer bunny then and go on and on and on...?

Hi Jeff, yes Mothering Sunday is the same as Mothers day, except when we were in USa 2 yrs ago we were there in May, so I got a present in March when in the Uk, then ANOTHER one in USA in May......

So sorry Karen about the house, what a bummer! I do hope you find an even better one. Our neighbours have put their house up for sale, now our friends live on the other side, so we were laughing last night about buying the middle house as a "party" venue. Then we would live each side, so no complaints if the music was too loud!
On a semi serious note, we may look into buying it, and then renting it out, as a kind of pension investment plan. My mortgage is almost paid off now and the Halifax are cool to lend us a certain amount, but with a mortage to let property, we would need to find about £30,000 (15% is minimum) then the rest could be on a mortgage. Its a nice house, but sadly I would guess a bit too much out of our price range.

Guess i need a lottery ticket for tomorrow night !

Heather i too did wonder if Karen's mum was now the proud owner of a new 4 bed detached house,Karen she wouldn't would she? .....Am sure a even nicer one is just around the corner dear..

Brenda please be sure to send plankton on his jollies with everything he may need,sunglasses,sunblock,trunks his favorite pulling pants,cash and a three pack remember "no glove no love" as the last thing any of us want to have to do is explain to HM Customs on are return to the UK why we are in possession of whole zoo full of baby towel animals...

Well time for some fish and chips before i go as one never knows when one my see something resembling what i call food again.... I'll call back later..

Other than his mouse ears, he can't really wear much. Although...we are thinking of getting him a bow tie for formal occassions. Do you think we'd get carted out of Victoria & Albert's in straight jackets for showing up with a formally attired plush toy?

 

[Dyerneeds]

Brenda, your news is terrible
I can't believe it. You haven't tried hard enough playing the lottery
Have you heard of the book and movie called "The Secret" all about the power of attraction and getting what you want just by asking and believing?
Well....... ATTRACT THOSE POSITIVE THOUGHTS THAT YOU WILL BE GOING ON THIS CRUISE AND TAKE CARE OF THE FOUNDATION PROBLEM TOO!

the secret.. its big at our house. robin heard about it a while back and ever since the power of positive thinking, its amazing how our "luck" has changed. sounds weird but hard to argue with the results.

Seriously Robin? I have to get that book! I've just heard about it recently.
I listened to some tapes some years back from a couple called Abraham-Hicks, they taught the same principle, but I'm so negative, it's hard.
I have GOT to start thinking positively, I HAVE to get that book too!
Oh, I'm POSITIVELY going to get that book!

Cool news Robin

I was wondering the same if maybe your Mom was doing that power of positive thinking so that you wouldn't get the house.

Well, so sorry to hear it, but it probably just wasn't meant to be and maybe your perfect home is still on it's way.
You're still going on a fabulous cruise with all of us!

Chris you are toooooooo funny
I love reading your posts. But help me out I have a problem here.
I'm a very visual person.
I need to see a picture of you to visualize who you are(I frequently look up everyone's photos to remember them....don't know why I need to be I need to!) with that great sense of humor. Post a photo!

Or are you going to be difficult and remain a cool unknown till the cruise?

Keep up the exercising! Like I said you give me inspiration!
If you don't I'll go "Well, Karen isnt' going to excercise so I don't feel like it either!".......I'm so pathetic...I'll look for any excuse to not exercise!
And look at this little smiley face doing jumping jacks!
After a few of those I'd have to settle down for a break and drink a cinnamon dolce latte!

I think AFEG is shy...aren't you Chris?

 

[Scouter]

I'm the only one talking....Well I have lots of posting to catch up with everyone.
Ha that's an excuse, there's plenty of times when I'm the only one talking and friends, my BF, my DS will be staring at me with that look on their face like "Is she ever going to just shut up?" Good I can laugh at myself that way.
Oh, well, I can always talk to myself, I'm good at that too!

Hey maybe we could go on the kids thread and find Rosie and ask her to post a picture of her dear dad

 

[Scouter]

Today is going to be almost 70 and sunny here in Southeastern Wisconsin. I'm taking a 1/2 day off of work. I planned this yesterday just to spend time with the dog at the park. So guess what the monster did yesterday?? He was left outside for about 15-20 minutes when DD Kristin decided to see why he was so quiet. He decided to help the DHL man make a delivery. DS Tony had a new cell phone delivered to the house and Cabo decided to open it up...and EAT IT!!! Now mind you, he went through two boxes and a few plastic bags to get at it. Kristin found some (?) of the pieces in the snow and the driveway except the battery!! I question the pieces because of the battery. There was also a UPS delivery for me but I guess that dog loves me more because he didn't touch that. Loves me more, or fears me more...you pick! Kristin yelled at him and he ran straight to his kennel and actually tried to shut the door behind him with his paw. I wish I would've had the camera rolling on that one!!

Called the vet to see what we should be watching for and she doubts that he actually ate the battery. He's fine this morning. Looks like we'll be in the front yard with boots on this afternoon looking for a battery rather than the park.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

OMG Nancy! That is too funny, or really awful and sad I guess if you have to pay any expensive vet bills and now your DS has to get another new phone...gee does the shipping insurance cover that???? Guess you'd have to say it was delivered that way ....You think they'd buy that?
Ha, ha and here I work for the USPS.....I shouldn't even be saying such things. OH, but it's from DHL, it's OK then!

Guess my two cats are cool in that they never really do things like that, and I have a ferret too....he just steals things and hides them all somewhere in the great unknown.

Oh, but I do remember cats we had when we were growing up.... around Christmas we would (OK, we were kids....8,10, 12,something like that) purposely FEED our cats TINSEL. I don't know whey they would eat it but they did Do you know what happens next?????

Oh, it makes for very festive looking cats when it comes out the other end!
We always used to plan to do it right before an evening when company would be coming over too

 

[Scouter]

Happy 7months and 1 week everyone

 

[cntkg1]

a three pack remember "no glove no love"

(Brenda & Jeff, Rather than these little additions to the gift baskets, I think I'll just throw in a note with AFEGs sentiments in big bold letters!!)

 

[Scouter]

Oh, I'm having too much fun by myself today.

Thanks Brenda for adding in a comment in there once. I'm not totally alone, but I'm certainly amusing myself.
OK, no I am not stoned

I haven't even had one sip of wine, I'm just naturally goofy today....


Maybe I SHOULD go out a get myself a nice big CHILI'S PRESIDENTE MARGARITA! WITH A SHOT OF CHAMBORD IN IT AND SUGAR ON THE RIM!
(The best margarita you can have!)
Tomorrow is my day off!
