Good morning Ya Yas!!!!
I'm on my way to the kitchen to start a turkey for tonight but i wanted to say good morning first! I have only been skimming all of your bracelet talk....no time to get into that yet...but I can't wait to have a little time to START MY OWN!!!!! WHERE is the YA YA charm??? Gotta have it and OMG I LOVE the DREAM charm!!!! I'm hooked!!!! Besides....to have a perfect Ya Ya slumber party ya have to have matching charm bracelets right?
"Jingle dingles"????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
OH I miss ya'll!!!! Tomorrow....tomorrow......

Dream has been so very busy
So much so it makes me dizzy!
Tomorrow though it's back to "routine"
And my normal craziness sounds so keen!
I've missed my Ya Yas...this is true
I want to come and play with you!!!
I also want some of these charms
One or two won't do any harm!
OH...a great idea I just had!
For every five pounds lost ,a new charm I will add!!!!
What do ya think? Does this sound "charming"?
By June I should have one for each arm-y!!!


Have great days everybody!!!!!

lvs_eeyore-My parents are snowbirds who spend thier winters in Lakeland FL. They are probably freezing right now too I understand that cold is a relative term......here 46 would feel like a heatwave but there..brrrrrr

 

[Lars624]

LOL Jodie!! You put a smile on my face this morning!!
A turkey sounds yummy!!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Jodie I think that is a WONDERFUL idea you had about the charms!!! I think you owe yourself the first two charms though for how GOOD you were in Disney. There were so many wonderful yummy things at the restaurant that we went to and you were so good and had a salad and water.

I think I will use your idea about the charms if I can get this stomach under control and start losing weight more naturally. So far the past few days I have been stable and havent lost. Im forcing myself to eat even when I dont want to which is good for not losing the weight as quickly but not doing my stomach any good.

Jodie I cant wait till you are back with us full time!!! We miss you!!!!

Good morning all! I'm so tired... coughing and not sleeping long enough. My DH thought it would be nice to stay up and talk about the game really late but the problem is that I cannot sleep in easily at all!!! So I am up. I hope I can fall asleep later today though while he is quietly doing something. But in the mean time I am up and as awake as can be.

Jodie that is a good idea about the charms! That would work very nicely as an incentive.

Karen, I do hope you get that tummy thing figured out soon Although I don't see how you could possibly stand to lose any more weight right now (naturally or otherwise!)

Oh thanks Carol... you are a sweetie!

I could stand that 46 degrees right now too! That would be nice and warm for us. It isn't too bad right now... 26 so I won't complain too much. I just hope we don't get extremely cold this winter. I hate the biting negative temps that we usually get mid to late January.

Ugh... going to get up now and do... oh I don't know... something

 

[Serena]

I just wanted to stop in and say "good morning".
Helenabear, you have been sick for way too long, I sure hope you get over this soon.
Jodie, I love your idea.
Karen, feel better soon.

 

[Dream]

Turkey is in the oven...family is getting ready to visit someone else for a little while and my bike is calling but I just wanted to say:

CONGRATS ON 2000 Jeannie!!!

Hi Karen!!! Are you warmer now? I think I brought the cold to Florida with me...hope it warms up for ya'll soon! Thanks for the encouraging words! Well, it might have been salad and water but it was GOOD salad and water! Besides...the company was the most important thing!! It was soooo good meeting you!!! (Steve and the boys too!) Yeah...you're right...the first two charms will be "ketchup" charms!!
And Karen...right now YOU should reward yourself for weight GAINED!!! Forget about losing right now! Besides...you look great!

 

[bfeller]

Good Morning Ya Yas. Just got back from having breakfast with DH. Teens are still sleeping and we knew that they wouldn't miss us.

Jodie the turnkey sounds good. Too bad I have already set out pork chops to thaw.

Congratulations on 2000 Jeannie!!! Your words are so enjoyable.

Did anyone notice who won the Fiesta Bowl last night? I thought it was never going to end. But DH and DS said that it was a great game. I kept hearing them yell, scream, moan, groan, and cheer during the last 5-10 minutes. So I gave in and watched the end with them. Thought that it was nice of the coach to recognize the Ohio State Band. Of course I really liked having the state of Ohio being recognized.

Well, I will be checking in on and off all day.

 

[Poohshoney]

Morning/afternoon all!

Hi Jodie! As I haven't been ketchuping I obviously missed you getting back - I hope you had a great time!

Guess what, we've got snow! We spent the day hiking round the hills in Heidelberg (I'm out of practice, my knees are still wobbling!) and got back just before it started. It's so pretty - when I'm indoors looking out!

And we got LOTS of brochures! I managed to resist the new Disneyland Paris one though - I'm saving myself for the big cheese next year!

Elaine, I'm worried about you too. Have you tried inhaling - best of all with peppermint and camomile? It always helps me. PM me if you want any more details. You've got to take care of yourself!

Off to flick through the brochures, hope I can check back with you all later. Have a good 'un!

 

[helenabear]

Oops... forgot to say congrats to Jeannie on 2000 posts!!! Way to go Jeannie!!!

Enjoy your day Jodie... turkey sounds yummy! Oddly I didn't get any turkey this holiday season at all! Just spaghetti & ham.

Laurie, I know it seems like I have been sick a long time. Unfortunately I was just getting my allergies under control (which caused tons of head congestion) when I got this cold... only have had it since Monday Boy it's been a long week

I need to figure out a good way to get my DH out of bed. He won't stop watching ESPN

 

[jldriscoll]

Morning all. Been peaking in between little jobs!

One last one to do....Carol....you still here? Is startionary with sound ok to send you? Or on the no
no list for awhile?

 

[helenabear]

Boy some of you just sneated on in there didn't you?

Carol, I do appreciate your concern too. Right now I am at what I think is the "good" part of the cold... everything is just decongesting and my ears will pop occasionally now, the cough is nice and "wet" and the good news is that the gunk never made its way down to my lungs/chest (just in my throat that irritated me). So I feel like it is just wrapping up now. I feel like a druggie though, I hated the cold medicine I took yesterday so I had to take some head/nasal decongestants, a little bit of Advil (for my stiff neck from falling asleep on the couch this morning ), my vitamin and my allergy med... at once I took 6 pills.... now I know why I like the "all in one" pills that have the exact same stuff in them that those others had... would have gotten me down to taking just three (vitamin, cold/sinus & allergy). I'll hate to see what I am like when I get to be my grandmother's age

Betty, I couldn't even stand to watch the game last night. I had a friend PM me when it was over. My dad and brother called too... needless to say we are happy this morning (but no rubbing in as promised Jay )

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning everyone!!
Gee, my charms aren't here yet LOL.......I want them now!!
I feel better having ordered the ones I really want...and now I won't obsess over them........but I LOVE Jodie's idea!! That just might work! With all the weight I want to lose I could fill a couple bracelets!!

Elaine...glad you are feeling better ...and hopefully the cold is heading out!!

Karen....keep warm and I hope your tummy settles down permantently soon!!
We're having a heat wave here (relatively speaking ) It's 50º and only 8:30. We've had a very warm winter....only frost a couple of mornings....very unusual.

Carol, good luck getting Roland to choose the place you want (other than WDW)......just make it sound the best!

Sherry....how's Julian doing today?

 

[bfeller]

I too have had a cold/allergy since the Sunday before Christmas. Just when I think I am getting better then a day or two later I start feeling icky again. Yesterday my voice was starting to go. Good thing we didn't have school today or I think the voice would be gone for good. I also have developed an irritating little cough. Of course I don't like to take many meds because they tend to play with sugar levels. Hopefully, the weekend away from the little 7th graders will be healthy.

Hello Jennifer how are things up north?

Well, I am doing some laundry and grading some papers today, so I will be here off and on.

 

[jldriscoll]

Hi Betty! Snowy with more to come!!! Jeannie had a great idea. We need a Betty count down. WHen are you done with work?

 

[dizneenut]

Just popped on for a second to say hi!

Had kind of a rough night w/ Julian. He was up tossing & turning and complaining through the night. I gave him some Tylenol w/ Codeine and he was able to get to sleep. He was spitting alot, too, which was worrying me. Managed to get him to eat a couple scoops of rainbow sherbet this morning. He just really doesn't want to eat or drink, and its really hard trying to get him to do it. I feel so bad for him.

The game last night was very nerve-wracking. But, I'm a happy camper!!

 

[Meriweather]

{{{{hugs}}}} for Julian, Sherry. I hope he heals and feels better very quickly.

 

[Kama89]

My dad and brother called too... needless to say we are happy this morning (but no rubbing in as promised Jay )

Uh oh!

Ohhhh... just you never mind about doing that silly little search Jeannie. It was just me sticking my foot in my mouth for like the bazillionth time. By the way... congrats to you mothyboo!

Orlando is in Julie-yet's sig? Uh oh.... does this mean he's looking and listening to the jingle of another's charms now?

Morning Karen... have you gone bracelet hunting yet?

Good morning Heather!

Yo Michele? Where are youuuuu? Haven't seen you on the ship much girl.

Jodie and her poems are back!! It's a good day today.

Hey Laurie!

Betty, boo laundry...boo papers! Put on your bikini, grab Tom, a bottle of suntan oil, and sip on this Margarita while you lounge by the YaYa pool. Let's find a couple of cabin personnel to take care of those chores!!


******

Ok... now to skim backwards and see what/who I forgot. Just started on the coffee intake for the day, so not all my jingle dingles are awake yet.

 

[bfeller]

Sherry, sorry to hear that Julian had a uncomfortable night. Hopefully, he will feel better as the day goes on.

My last day on this long term assignment is Friday, February 7. I will try to get a count down clock for my sig. But don't expect anything real soon. You know that I am computer/Dis challenged. It always takes me longer to catch on. I will try to work on it this weekend.

Well it has taken me 30 minutes to grade 4 essays. I have only 118 more to go. Got to get back and grade these papers.
