Val's Journal (comments welcome)

Hi Val!
Sounds like you have another busy week ahead of you! Please make sure that you take extra special care of you this week. ::yes::

:wave2: Hi Angela and Tracy! Thanks for the words of encouragement :D .

I've got a few minutes before I head to bed and :sleep: . Just had to get on the dis to talk about AI before I could sleep ;) . The Weasely is gone and thank goodness! If George had gone tonight I know I would have given up on the show. He may not be the best left but if he had left Weasely as the Last Man Standing I would have been disgusted :crazy2: . I did feel bad for Weasley because he seems to be a nice person. I think he'll be alright, though.

I have been doing pretty well this week eating wise. Still not gettting on the treadmill. We shall see what the scale says on Saturday :D . I'm going to try and get to some journals tomorrow 'cause I have a cancelation for one of my kiddos I'm babysitting which means some free time -- yeah :Pinkbounc !
 
Hey Val,

In case I don't get back to your journal before Saturday, here's some :wizard: for your weighin. Keep up the good work.
Beth
 
:Pinkbounc You're keeping up the great work...WAY TO GO!!!! :bounce:
 

Hey Val! Sorry I haven't been around for a while. :( Sounds like you are doing well though! :teeth: Here's some :wizard: for Sat's weigh-in. I have a really good feeling about it for you! ;)

AI - well, of course JS desrved to go. I have to agree though. he took everything so classy through out it all. I think he is probably a bit relieved; he knew he was out of his league. Question though - he got 4,000,000 votes???!!! From who???? Next week should be really interesting. I think Jasmine deserves to go next. She is good, but not as good as the others.

Hope you managed to get some rest today since you had the cancellation. Take good care of you!! Enjoy our BEAUTIFUL weather!!:sunny: :smooth:
TTFN-

:wave: Thanks for stopping by Beth, Kristy, and Sharon.

Sharon,
Have you ever peeked in on the Official American Idol thread on the community board? Lots of JS supporters there ::yes:: . I don't post to it much because they can get a little viscious over there :eek: . But it is fun to read it ;) .

I'm going to get to some journals now since I've been missing from them for far too long. Next week looks quite peaceful so far so all I have to do is get through the crazy weekend and then I can breathe :flower: .
 
Hey Val,
I hope that you're having a great week. I bet it was nice to have a little bit of a break today with that cancellation.::yes:: I'm glad to hear that next week should be more peaceful for you. You have been quite busy lately.:crazy: ;)

As for AI, I have to say that I am very surprised at the way this year has turned out. I was actually a little sad to see John go yesterday. I tend to forget that he is only 16. He has really stood up under the pressure. It should be interesting to see how next week goes. George is still my favorite.

Well, Val I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend. Not sure when your weigh in is, but here is some :wizard: for you.

Take care,
Tracy:wave2:

:Pinkbounc :bounce: :teeth: Hi everybody!
My computer got eaten by a virus on Friday and I haven't been able to get online since :badpc: ! I was going through some major dis withdrawals ::yes:: .

Weigh - in on Saturday went well -- 154. I haven't exactly been op this weekend since it was dh's birthday but I'm getting back into it slowly but surely.

So, did I miss anything good ;) ?? Feels like I have been away for years.
 
Good morning Val,
Thanks for your support! I appreciate you!

Congratulations on the weight loss! Woohoo!:Pinkbounc Keep up the good work!

I hope that this week is a more relaxed week for you. You have been pretty busy lately.::yes::

Take good care of you and enjoy the rest of your week!

Tracy:wave2:
 
Val, great job! I haven't visited the journals much lately, since work's been busy. Glad to hear things are going well though. Good luck with the kiddos!
 
:wave: Hi, all. Thanks for the congrats :D .

Today is weigh day and I'm still 154. I am fine with that since it's the wonderful week and a half before TOM.

First AI :crazy: . I really think I am done with this show. This year's group is not nearly as good as last year's, imho. I'm hoping Fantasia will win but I don't know that I will watch to find out. With no George, it's lost it's appeal to me ::yes:: .

Second, Friends :crazy: . Their finale could have been so much better. I was disappointed with it big time. Um, excuse me but where was Emma?!! Those are some great parents that NEVER have their child :rolleyes: ! Someone over on the community board wrote the ending she thought they should have had and it was MUCH better. I'm going to remember that one and convince myself the real one didn't happen.

So I think that's all my T.V. gossip for the day :crazy: .

We are doing something for Mother's Day today since DH is again working through the weekend. It's a surprise so I'm dying to know what it is :scratchin . I also got flowers delivered to me yesterday :D . I'm feeling special this weekend ::yes:: .

I hope everyone has a great weekend :sunny: !
 
Hi Val,

I just wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
Beth
 
Hi Val!
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!::yes:: I so agree with you about AI and Friends! Now that George is gone, the show has lost its appeal for me too. I'll have to checkout the other ending that was posted on the community board about Friends. The ending was good, but could have been much, much better.

Hope you have a great week!

Tracy:wave2:
 
:wave: Thanks, Beth, Wilderness, and Tracy.

I had a wonderful Mother's day weekend ::yes:: . Dh had flowers sent to me on Friday which was a total surprise. Then on Saturday we went and played mini golf, out to dinner, and then had ice cream for our Mother's day celebration. I only had a kiddie portion of the ice cream so that was my contribution to staying op this weekend ;) . Sunday dh made a delicious breakfast for us and then we went shopping for the day with dmil. I stopped by my mom's office with ds on Friday to bring her flowers and candy. All in all, a lovely weekend. I hope all the wisher's had a great one too.

I making a commitment to get back to exercise TODAY. It's been longer than I care to remember since I've made serious effort in this area and I really need to do it. The weird thing is that I was enjoying it while I was doing it. Not sure why I made it okay with myself to stop :confused3.
 
Glad you had a great weekend Val! And you made it work with your plan - good for you!
I know what you mean about the exercise. I'll send you :goodvibes that you stick with it and see it through today. I know that it is my weak area and where I need to focus my attention as well. ::yes:: But I am sure once you get going with it, it will all fall into place and become part of your routine. :smooth:
Have a great day and enjoy this beautiful weather!! :sunny:
TTFN-
Sharon
 
Sounds like you had a great weekend. Good luck with starting up with the exercise again. The first week is usually the hardest. You'll do it!
 
Val,
Thanks for the nice post that you left in my journal. ::yes:: The last few days have been tough and your kind words were sunshine for the day. Thanks!:hug:

I hope the exercise goes well for you. Know that we are all :cheer2: you on and WISHing you the best!

Thanks again, Val! Have a great day!

Tracy:wave2:
 
I exercised yesterday :earseek: ! First time in a long time and I plan to do it again today ::yes:: . I have a long way to go before I meet my weight loss goals so it's time to kick it back into high gear. Summer is right around the corner and I would love to lose 10 - 15 more pounds by July 4th.

I won't be watching AI tonight since I have a meeting and can only tape one show (I'm going with my Gilmore Girls :D ). Of course, tomorrow they are bringing my man Clay back on to sing again due to a drop in ratings so I'll probably watch. Dirty rotten trick to bring back Clay on me once I've made up my mind not to watch anymore ;) .

Hope everyone has a great day :sunny: !
