Hey Alison, you floating away yet? We are now at 18 days of straight rain with more in the forecast every day through Tuesday!

Good luck with the diet. I bought some of the Alli the other day, need to get the slim fast and get started.

It's only raining a little each day here, but not yesterday or today. We're not getting it quite as bad as you are. We have at least a 30% chance for the next 9 days for some rain, but you never know....that could change. That's the thing about weather in this part of the country.....if you don't like it, just wait a little bit and it will change. I hope you get some relief on the rain soon!

Thanks on the diet...Good luck to you too, just remember to be careful and watch your fat, or it will PUNISH you!

Well to those who have the willpower that I so very lack .... good luck with your diets!

I am happy to be done with a loooonnngg week of training our newbie. I know I'm a team leader for a reason, but really. When you're stuck training someone who isn't particularly quick, thinks he knows more than he does, and fails to write anything down so that he needs to ask the same questions over and over, it makes for a long week. My trainee was paired with someone else for 3 weeks before he came to me, and I was ticked that his other trainer really took the easy way out and only taught him two or three things in 3 weeks. And he still doesn't know how to do those. I had expected my trainee to be a lot further along. Sometimes, I hate my job. Now at least he's on vacation next week and I get a break from training for a bit. I just hope he doesn't forget everything I tried to drill into him while he's on vacation.

Anyway, I am off to Curves. Hope everyone is enjoying her (or his) weekend!

Good morning all-

tlinus- Happy belated birthday to your DD!
Hope she had a great day yesterday

marciemi- Have a safe and good trip! Waving to you from the northwest suburbs of Chicago also

Hi to all


Today there is a barbeque for lunch for the residents and the families at the nursing home where my grandma lives. We will be having lunch there with her and they have some small activities for the kids. They do this once a yr at the nursing home. Should be somewhat fun.
Then we will be going off to church later this afternoon.

* If I can also ask for some prayers-prayer request. My DH just got laid off from his job of 7 yrs, last night . My DH has taken the news well, better than I am taking it. I have been sad and crying, probably of the financial strain we will be in in the immediate future. DH is doing ok, he is kinda relieved of the stress he was under for many months with the owners and the president of the company he worked for. The vice-president of the co. really fought for him to keep him, but the new owner wants DH out, as the new owner wants his own employees. DH worked for a very small company and there had been many layoffs the past few months, so DH knew one of these days his time was coming to get laid off. DH has been putting his resume on monster.com for a couple of months. If you gals can just pray he gets another job soon.Thanks! Sorry for the TMI, but I just need prayers on this situation.
My kids are very happy DH is going to be home now, as for many yrs, DH has worked about a 30 min drive each way 5 days/week with only a 10 day/yr paid vacation and that's it for vacation/sick benefits per year. I am somewhat happy DH is home too, but I worry about finances. DH is going to the unemployment office Monday morning.
DH doesn't get severance pay, but the vice pres. offered to pay our COBRA insurance for the month of July
I am glad we were able to get our vacation in to Hershey Park before this happened.
Any prayers for this situation appreciated. Thanks

 

[AlexandNessa]

Rose, that is not TMI. I am very sorry your hubby lost his job, and I hope he finds a new one right quick. I will be praying for you.

 

[macraven]

Stopping in to say goodbye! Thanks for all the good wishes!

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!

marcy, be sure to wave.
in just 14 more minutes you will be seeing me jump up and down to get your attention.

maybe i will be naked.
then you will notice me.....

 

[macraven]

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!

they aren't thinking of us ???


you can do it, you'll lose the weight and then have a new wardrobe.
well, kind of new, you haven't worn them in a couple of years.
i guess this means we don't get your old handouts then on clothes.

i might be interested in trying it if my curves adventures, well, exercise really, doesn't make the progress for me that i want.

sounds like the employee you are training is lazy.

so glad those days are behind me.....




curves, eh..........when you come back you will be 2 lbs lighter. thinkiing positive here

Hello homies! I am just checking in and deciding what I want for dinner. I had my heart set on a hamburger since I haven't had one in ages, but Mike got me all excited when he said he bought potato rolls this morning. He didn't. He bought kaiser rolls that are just too dang big for the burger. Life is very hard for me, isn't it?

My family is at my cousin's wedding in Florida for the weekend. I am very upset that I'm not there, but honestly folks, who the heck gets married on a Sunday night? Really? When 95% of your guests are coming in from out of town, who thinks it's a good idea to get married on a Sunday night? Not afternoon. Starting at 6:30 in the evening. Why not just save more $$ and have it on a Monday or Tuesday night?

So anyway, I'm in charge of my aging grandmother while my parents and sister are away. I think I need to go sit with her tomorrow. I tried to get her out and about today, but she would have none of it. Then she called me 4 hours later thinking she was calling my sister (who is in FL for the wedding) and saying that she missed me. So, please, think of me while I'm sitting her apartment with the TV entirely too loud because she refuses to get her hearing checked and watching the Game Show network with her for hours and looking at pictures I've seen 100x. Because I know I'm not getting her out tomorrow either. I just don't get it. I guess I would jump at the chance to get out and have lunch somewhere, but she'd rather sit at home by herself.

I was rummaging in my garage today, as I'm planning to have a tag/yard/garage sale (whatever you want to call it). My dad gave me a lot of stuff from his house that he doesn't need. I actually ended up with a TON of Disney and Universal stuff.

Lots of Universal cups. Lots.

Including one from HHN VI!

i bet you're wishing now you were going to a sunday night wedding.....

put a little jack daniels in her coffee and she won't complain if you turn the tv down. hey, you could even change the channels then jodie..

Hey Mac we live about an hour from Ft Sill. My Aunt lived in Lawton when I was little. Yes it can get very hot here. Now when the rain lets up and the sun comes through it immediately heats up in to the 90's and gets very humid. Guess thats why it doesn't really bother us to go to Florida in July/Aug.

Rose so sorry to hear about your husband. Just have faith and know that good things are coming your way. Things will be much better with the new job.

Jodie - good luck sitting with your grandma tomorrow.

DM good luck with the garage sale.

I think I am going to finally make an attempt at Ebaying some stuff off. Wish me luck.

 

[tlinus]

Morning all!

Rose - my p & pt for your family now. I know DH will find a great job really soon. Try not to worry too much.

mac - it was your favorite bean's birthday (ya know #2) and we are having cake for her today for our parents - she is having a kids party next Sunday at a sports place (rollerskating/rockclimbing) around here.

to all the dieters - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Thanks for all the Happy Bday wishes for Court. She enjoyed all of the smilies and said you guys were so nice!

Off to clean up this pit a little before the family comes over at 3pm....and my stepdad always arrives early and looks for snacks to pick on so I want to have everything ready to go at 2:30
