Good morning,

I just wanted to stop in and say hello before I head out to work. I know everyone will be thinking about the big group that's meeting at Margaritaville today . I posted a thread about wanting a recipe for a sugar free margarita and Fan2CSkr came through. We went and got the ingredients last night, so we're ready. DH and I are dieting. We have cut way back on fat and calories. I'm drinking a SlimFast for breakfast and one for lunch. At dinner, I'm trying to limit my fat grams to less than 12 grams and no more than 1200 calories per day for me, but he can have more because he's a man. Oh, and I'm taking that fat blocking pill that just came available OTC, called Alli. You have to watch fat or it will punish you. So far, I've done ok and it hasn't punished me. I started it a week ago today and have lost 5 lb. so far.

it's a toss up if i trade with you for the 2 or 1 with marcie.......
can i throw mr mac in with this deal if i pick you?

Hmmm, can mr mac do any home repairs? We might be able to work something out...

 

[Holly Goheavy]

Marcie-the 4 year old can be quite the tornado in his own right, but your big boys could probably handle him. When he goes over to my 2nd son's apt all the big boys throw him around like a doll (then they bring him home and he goes right to sleep!).

We leave Monday morning and I woke up this morning with PINKEYE!! I'm waiting to get in to see the dr and DH is picking up an eye patch for me. This is not the way I want to begin my vacation!

I'm jealous of everyone who has temps in the 60's. I need to relocate way way north...

if he does, then she may want to start leasing him out to help pay for her upcoming vacation!!!!

Hi all - just checking in briefly before I get back to packing for the weeklong trip. A full-size bike, plus 5 people, doesn't leave much space for packing everything else we need! Going to have 4 more bikes on the hitch, and I have all the sleeping bags, pillows, and bedding in a soft sided roof carrier. Packed it all loosely last night and was amazed - I almost had reasonable visibility through the rear view mirror. Then realized I hadn't packed the cooler - a big, wheeled one. Oops! Had to move everything around to make room for it - much reduced visibility now!

Get to drive through beautiful Chicago tomorrow - my favorite! Grandma and Grandpa called and said they'd just gotten DS12 a beautiful set of golf clubs at a garage sale so he can go golfing while there (no room for the clubs!) - so he doesn't have to go through withdrawal going a whole week without golf! Just called and made him a tee-time!

Then I just spend an hour or so ironing labels on all of DS12's camp clothes and writing his name on everything else. Lots of fun!

Hopefully I'll get to say goodbye tonight to you guys! Have a great week - hold down the fort without me!

 

[Holly Goheavy]

Have a fabulous time Marcie and be safe driving!!

 

[loribell]

Have fun Marcie and get some rest. Better go to the bathroom a few extra times before you are down to the outhouse!!!!!!

I like the chocolate royale and strawberries and cream the best in the SlimFast Optima.

think the homies are thinking about us???
well, we are thinking about them......

alli............1200 calories/day.........low fat foods..........hello miss skinny!
in about 2 months, we'll be fighting over who gets your old clothes.
you will be too thin to wear them.

good luck with the dieting.

Hmmm, can mr mac do any home repairs? We might be able to work something out...

hahahhhahahahahahhahahahhha........

mr mac took a second job for 5 years. with the money he made, we spent it all on paying some men to do the handyman work in the house..
mr mac can't even paint a room. one year he worked the other job just to pay someone to paint the rooms in the house.

Today is my baby girl's 8th birthday Where has the time gone??? Oldest one just turned 12 now the mid bean is 8.....littlest bean will be 6 in October

miss you all ready marcie.

when you drive thru chgo, honk the horn when you go down the toll way at the great america exit.
if you take 41 to chi town, then honk the horn at the wadsworth rd exit going east.

i'll wave as you go by.

hoping your week is wonderful.

 

[marciemi]

Stopping in to say goodbye! Thanks for all the good wishes! We just spent too long finishing up a Disney (Mickey) 1000 piece photomosaic puzzle that we've been working on on and off for about a month. Somehow it became necessary to finish it before we left so we're finally heading off to bed now!

Got my porta-potty packed Lori (actually it's kind of a jug with a special "female" adaptor!) for those middle of the night emergencies (the guys can all just open the door and aim but it doesn't work as well for me!).

Mac - we'll wave as we go by. I'll guess around noonish by the time we hit there, assuming we get everything in the car and everyone out of bed and on the road by 9 or so!

No, they're not thinking about us! They're having too much fun!

Thanks for the good luck wish on the dieting! I'm hoping to lose 10 - 20 lb. I have clothes that I can't wear now that I was wearing 2 and 3 years ago and if I lose about 10 lb. I think I can wear them....10 more and I'll really be happy!

Oh and happy birthday to Tlinus' baby girl!

Have fun Marcie!
