Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[debraW76]

Hello everyone. I am at work and I am sooooo far behind yet sooooo unmotivated.

Hugs all around

We have cheernastics tonight (chi said she still wanted to do this so that she can try out again next year). Zeta is working late so I may postpone grocery shopping yet again. Taking 5 kids to the grocery store is no fun.

Tomorrow Tau, Delta, and Alpha all have dentist appts at diff times and I have one too at a diff office. . Then we have karate, tball practice, and then we are going out for my bday (early celebration).

Good for you on the weight loss. I did better this week, too. I think company in town actually helped, because then I didn't sit around eating all day and night - I was too embarrassed. Seriously, the not snacking helped, and so far, I managed to stop that even after they left.

My witching hour(s) is from 3pm to dinner time. I'm ravenous during that period and I'm REALLY trying to control myself with the snacking.

Thanks T I don't do anything more that you all do, it just seems that all of my stuff gets bunched up into one time frame

Yes, but you also hold down a full time job! I couldn't even pull off a part-time job. I guess I'm lazy.

Murph thinks I should cancel my California trip Um, that's not happening.

Silly rabbit!

T - don't make me look bad in pics with your new bod.

Oh puh-leeze! I'm just trying to get into a shape other than round. Oval would be ok... heck I'd even take triagular!

Who knew the people on the transportation board could get so testy

The budget board people are worse! They frighten me!

Not sure why it has made so much difference but since we pulled the trampoline into the middle of the garden instead of the corner (it has a net) the girls haven't stopped playing on it it literally has only moved about 5ft

Ok I have a PSA for the over 70 & male set!

If you go to the gym, please wear stretchy shorts under your gym shorts. I don't want to see your brain, thank you VERY MUCH!


I feel very violated today!

This was definitely TMI for after lunch

 

[KatGarcia]

Friday woke up early to see the new X-men movie It's rated PG-13, but it has bloody moments and lots of fighting for those of you with young kids who might want to see it. I will say Hugh Jackman is HOT!

Did you like the movie? I think he's VERY hot but the movie was stinky.

Moving sucks. I have never been so busy in my life. We are just about unpacked with 3 more boxes to go.

Would you like to see what we bought today.

Here is what the new car looks like.

VERY Nice Scott!!! You're doing pretty well for fast unpacking!

Yesterday my sister's BFF had a baby, so I kept Reid whilst they went to the hospital. He makes me laugh and that's so what I need since Mitch is gone. Although he wanted to talk to Mooch so we called and got his voice mail. Reid couldn't understand why Mooch wasn't talking back to us.

Awwww at least you got soem quality Reid time!

Morning all! I fell behind again - I'm sorry!

Yea the swine flu thing has gotten pretty silly now. Why do people just now think keeping clean and washing your hands and not sneezing or coughing on people isn't ok, and it wasn't a priority before? gross.

*****************************
I am procrastinating today. Aunt Flo is kicking my booty. The weather isn't helping either. I have a list of a bunch of carp to do that never gets done while KC is home. I love having him here so many days but no good cleaning gets done.

I downloaded Bride Wars tho, and am excited to watch it. I also have the Tudors from last night to watch.

Anyways i'm sure ill be in and out since procrastinating seems the way to go. lol.

 

[englishrose47]

Just back from the Dentist Steph got her RETAINER today she is soooooo exciteted !!! They are going to the Wrestling thingie tonite !!Me I'm working as usual !!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

He's with the Army Reserve and he's doing his 2 weeks, except it's 5, in Ft. Polk Louisiana. Yesterday he called to tell me they were hunkered down because of tornado warnings! They all are fine, but still.

Gotcha. My ex just did his 2 weeks, but it was 5 as well. I think he was in AL/GA though, heck he might have been in IN. Yikes to the storms that went through there but glad he is safe.

Awwww...what a cutie.

Wow at long last there was lots to quote It's a holiday here and we all had a nice long lie in, Jess and I went to the supermarket to get the ingredients for her food tech lesson this week, fruit salad, then we were going to go for a walk and picnin but it's gone cold and a little rainy so they're playing on the Wii instead

Sounds like a nice day.

hi jo! it's the same here, except lots of rain! the wii sounds like a good idea. too bad my 3 yr old will beat me in bowling.

Also, several area schools decided to close this week due to 3 possible cases. If Leo's school closes for a week, my vacation plans this summer will be shot; I won't have enough vacation hours to cover it all.

for work, school and the swine flu. That totally stinks. Glad you guys had a great weekend though.

Hi Lori!

Hi T! You do sound like a busy mama and WTG on the weight loss. 2 pounds is 2 pounds. And I know what you mean about the snacking. Mine is after the kids go to bed and I'm sitting watching TV. If I could kick that habbit I'm sure I'd lose some weight.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Holy mushrooms! Chatty morning!

I know! That's what I was thinking.

Is the news all flu, all day again?

Have a good day!

Ya know I have no idea since as soon as I signed off here DR woke up and cartoons were put on. LOL I guess I'll have to see what the evening news has to say.

So, I have fringe! (That's for you, Jo!)

Hair cut looks great!

and to all I missed!

*********************************************************

Lindsey's field trip was cancelled today along with t-ball practice. Tomorrow she goes to the flower shop though to pick out a flower for a Mother's Day project. Hopefully they'll have better weather then.

I'm about to help Linds with her math homework and then get dinner started. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans are on our menu. What's everyone else doing?

 

[Hedy]

Nice fringe, CE.

 

[debraW76]

Just wanted to give everyone an update about my friend with the brain tumor. He passed around noon today. I am still not certain but am leaning towards not going to visitation or the funeral. I just fear it would bring drama to an inappropriate situation.

I haven't sent the card yet so I will now send a sympathy card instead.

Do keep this family in your prayers though. 3 weeks ago he was healthy or at least thought he was. He left behind a 1 year old and a 4 year old.

 

[cmp1111]

Hi Slate. Miss you..you need to be here more often

Looks great!

Thanks, it's cuter in person - the picture shows pretty one-side heavy, which isn't quite right.

CE - love the fringe

Thank you!

Jo - what's wrong with David, I missed this, hope he is ok, I have an ax with his name on it

This is why I only read this thread and TRs.

Not sure why it has made so much difference but since we pulled the trampoline into the middle of the garden instead of the corner (it has a net) the girls haven't stopped playing on it it literally has only moved about 5ft

Maybe they'd just had forgotten it for a while? Or maybe there were trolls in the corner?

Hello everyone. I am at work and I am sooooo far behind yet sooooo unmotivated.

Ugh, so sorry.

Tomorrow Tau, Delta, and Alpha all have dentist appts at diff times and I have one too at a diff office. . Then we have karate, tball practice, and then we are going out for my bday (early celebration).

Sorry, I don't think you're busy enough, either...

My witching hour(s) is from 3pm to dinner time. I'm ravenous during that period and I'm REALLY trying to control myself with the snacking.

That one gets me, (it's 4:30 here right now, and I really want something. ) and then since I tend to stay up so late, I get hungry around 10/10:30, too. Sigh.

If you go to the gym, please wear stretchy shorts under your gym shorts. I don't want to see your brain, thank you VERY MUCH!


I feel very violated today!

Yikes! (Though I think it could be for any man, not just the over 70's...)

grrr! Im trying to register for summer classes, but the system keeps crashing and i still havent gotten anything done. In the time ive been waiting ive been able to catch up with the last 3 pages.

Well, at least you're caught up! I'm sorry you're frustrated.

Anyways i'm sure ill be in and out since procrastinating seems the way to go. lol.

Excellent! I did finally get my stuff done.

Just back from the Dentist Steph got her RETAINER today she is soooooo exciteted !!! They are going to the Wrestling thingie tonite !!Me I'm working as usual !!

Good for Steph! Hope work is going well.

And I know what you mean about the snacking. Mine is after the kids go to bed and I'm sitting watching TV. If I could kick that habbit I'm sure I'd lose some weight.

Yep, see my reply to T above... Sigh.

Probably more entertaining, at any rate.

The family is in my thoughts.

I got most everything done today, which is good. Now I am going to lounge on the couch and watch Brothers & Sisters from last night before I cook dinner. Here's hopin' KC gets out relatively on time because it's been a very long, dreary, lonely day.

 

[puggymom]

Hey T, please have some very warm sunny weather ready for me. It's cold and rainy here, car thermometer was 55 degrees coming home from work, it's May frickin 4th and it's 55 degrees.

I'm ready for summer!

Evening Fockers

Debra -

Mo - ITA, can I stowaway in your suitcase

======================================================

Well since WDW hasn't released August hours yet (Although our resident mom is supposedly working on that) I did do one thing trip related. I reserved my rental car. GOt a great deal from Avis. $25% off plus a free upgrade, so I paid for a Full size and am getting a premium

No, if the August would only be released...I do have to make ADR's on Monday

 

[CelticBelle]

debra-

i finally got all my stuff worked out today, but it is going to be one busy summer. ill have no break at all until who knows when. I did however manage to get a good schedule for the 2nd half of summer. I only have class on tues, wed, and thurs. 4 day weekends for me!

unfortunately i also discovered that i have another round of midterms next week already! I just had them 2 weeks ago! give me a break! So im trying to study for this monster on thursday, and then i wont get my relaxing weekend with marc like i hoped, because ill have to study double duty to make up for taking it easy the past 2 weeks. this is why i started to hate school....

i hope everyone has a great evening. BTW when reading about the snacking i was eating a brownie and a banana. I guess its proof that im guilty of it as well.

 

[lazydoxy66]

Howdy all!!

DEB has lost a little weight. She needs to stay away from cheesecake! She will be busy with teeth doctors and gymnastics. Her xfriend's DH did pass away from the brain tumor. I feel so sorry for those beautiful young babies and his family. Prayers sent.

ROSIE says a friend of Judy’s invited her over for the weekend. Rosie is encouraging her to go. Steph got her retainer and is stoked! Rose is working tonight.

Z had a sci fi/fantasy weekend: Wolverine and Star Trek. She liked them both. Nothing to do with the good looking leading men. I’m going to see Star Trek this weekend. I’m not a die-hard but I’ve all of them. I’ll let you know what I think.

Scott is still unpacking. He has a pic of the new car they are getting, pg 229, post 3431

Rachel’s DH says she needs to work so they can go on vacation. She has lost 20 lbs! Good for you.

CE has tennis and hair today. Posted pics of the hair, pg 231, post #3455. Very cute!

DAWN needs a break. Lots of tryouts going on.

ANGIE got to keep Reid for a day. He makes her forget all the world’s problems.

JO and family got to ‘lie in’ laughing ‘cause it’s a holiday there. Cold + rain = Wii for them.

V had a super weekend with Leo and some animals. They went to the beach. Leo body surfed. She doesn’t want to lose vacation time at work do to swine paranoia.

LESSA says Canadians are tough and layed back. No swine flu is gonna scare them.

T worked out every day last week for a 2 lb loss. She doesn’t like to see old men’s junk through their shorts. She’s having Brownies and tea tomorrow. (Not edible brownies) "… a field trip with Maddie's school, Thursday I have a Girl Scout Leader meeting. Friday Andy & I are going to try to go out for dinner ALONE!” I think she is trying to say she is busy. Have fun!!!

KAT is procrastinating with movie/TV time. She got all her ‘catch-up’ work done anyway.

LORI’s doing home work with the Linds. MMMM meatloaf, I love it. Doug hates it so I don’t get to make it much.

HEDY was here, briefly.

Mo wants T to guarantee warm sunny weather for her DL trip!!

CEL BEL has more mid terms to study for. Good Luck. Sorry about the ruined weekend.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Nothing much going on here. Work, work!

Nos vemos mañana!

Howdy all!!

Hi, Kristel!

CE has tennis and hair today. Posted pics of the hair, pg 231, post #3455. Very cute!

Thanks!

So, D & I just played Wii Lego Star Wars for an hour. It IS addictive. But, I did 30 minutes on the Fit, first.

DSIL ordered me the new Passporter (she has a discount, plus they were having a sale).
