Welcome to the Ya Ya Club Med!!!

[lvs_eeyore]

Interesting night so far. We have been without water most of the day because they are putting in sewers in our area. Well dh decided to change out the toilet at this time. When the water came back on dh discovered that water supply feed is leaking so he had to shut it back off until he can get the part. He is going to have to take eldest to BBall practice, leave him there, and pick up the part, and get back to pick him up again on time.

We are now just getting ready to eat because of having no water and ds needs to be at practice at 7:45. Acck. Poor kid is gonna have to stuff and run. I did manage to get a little nap in before the kids woke me up yelling at each other over something stupid.

 

[Pam]

Pam... so many thoughts about sending movies to Alan... so little time

GASP!! Elaine!! You're *NOT* sending our special home movies, are you?????

Sherry - nerts on Junior being sent home. Gee, it's been a pretty bad for you, hasn't it??

Well - just got DD shipped back to college for the next semester. Sigh... prro kid is feeling sick and just really wanted to stay home.

 

[Meriweather]

Sherry...best wishes to your SIL and BIL. I hope everything turns out "okay".
And Junior sent home Best of luck with that too.

Feel better Amanda. And Karen, hope you get better soon too.

Ocean's 12 was good....I agree, the first was better. It was slow getting started. The last hour was much better.....and got to see a preview for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I don't mind bad language or violence in a movie....if it fits with the plot, but just for the sake of that....I don't care for it. I had a hard time sitting through some of Eddie Murphy's earlier movies...and don't watch "slasher" movies.

Christin headed off to a friend's to watch the Orange Bowl....so I get a peaceful evening all alone

Oh...my scrap book room is done....well, built. I need to get it user friendly now

 

[lizdotcom99]

Add me to the list of sickies!! As much as I tried to not get sick...it didn't work out too well. I have what I am starting to believe is the onset of bronchitis or something with my chest!! Took my antibiotics and robitussen and plan on getting lots of rest!! To add to the fun, we are under a winter weather watch and are expected to get 10 - 12 inches of snow after we get doused with rain, sleet and ice!! Sure glad I have no plans for the near future. I can deal wiht the snow....but the ice, well....blech!

Sherry, so sad to hear of your news today. Sorry to hear about Jr. and your SIL. Continued prayers and good thoughts headed your way.

Amanda, sorry you are feeling bad too! Hope you are able to get some rest and that Todd take good care of you. Loads pf pixie dust headed your way!!

Karen, hope you are feeling better soon too. Ya think ya might be overdoing it just a bit? I think ya neeed to follow your own advice and do what the doctor wants you to do...or you know where you will end up. Feel better soon!

Kama, more Third Day and Hootie snerking and snorking! What are we gonna do with you? Rembember what Deena said.....ya know about it being illeagal in 50 states...and Guam. Do we need to see what we have in the bail fund?

Kristy. as much as I love ya, you are going to have to listen to music without me!! Just can't take the country stuff!! As always, good to see you popping in!! WHat is on your agenda for school this semster? So glad you are all done with the accounting stuff though!! Bet you are too!!!

Tina, how is your weather now? I see parts of Arizona are getting hit with snow....is that you? Stay warm and stay safe!!

Lainey, I am so jealous of you and all your gadgets! I would love get some of them myself! Yep, guess it is time to get looking for that job. Of course a little $$ always helps in getting those things! Have fun with all your music downloading and uploading. Let us know when you get it all filled! I have a feeling that would take a while!!

Caroline, why the rush? I don't think I have ever seen you through here so fast!! Hope all is well with you and that you are feeling better!! Add me to the list of folks wanting to see holiday (rodent) pics!! I know, they aren't rodents.....they are something or otter!! Sorry,couldn't help myself!!

RoseMary, we want to see your pics!!!! Oh boy!! A new tatoo!! Think you could give Greg a call a little later....he seems to be needing a dose of "boy is this Florida weatehr beautiful!" While watching the weather channel we haapend to see it was in the 70's.......just a little prodding might be all I need right now.....specially with the threat ofice and lots of snow. Heck, have Suzanne call too!!

Pam, funny about the DVD. I rented it andnever really watched it. Didn't really seem to catch my interest. I must of shut it off before the nekee part!! Darn!! Imiss all the good stuff!! Like the ducks at the zoo..... too funny!!

Alan, always good to see you!! Have I told you that you ALWAYS bring a smile to my face!! Thanks!! Your humor is much appreciated!!

TC, your countdown timer is looking pretty good there! Can't beleive you have but yet another 2 trips planned!! You are one lucky guy!! Should you need somebody to gimp with, pick me up on the way, if you don't mind!!

Nancy, how was the movie? Was cleaning out the cupboard and found an empty box of See's. I think somebody else in the house is now a See's lover...as I didn't eat any of what was in that box! Good thing you can order on line. Might have to get somebody a box for his birthday. I think he likes the truffles too!!! See what ya started? A yummy, but painfully fattening addiction.

Tara, how are you? Ready for summer yet? Is it Spring Break yet? I think as soon as Lainey gets back form her cruise, we start wishing for summer to come quickly!!


Boo, where have you been hiding? Being domestic again? Eversince Bethie left, I have been doing my best to keep things neat and purty. So far, so good!!! Being domestic is hard work if you ask me!

Todd, are you taking good care of Amanda? Hope you are able to make her feel better while being able to enjoy your girls. Stay well yourself though.

Bethie, what are you doing these days? I think you must be working far too hard!!! Come back and play when you get some spare time!!

JRKaren, where have you been hiding? Been thinking you must be getting in some sort of trouble!! It's jsut not like you to be sooooo quiet!! Hope all is well.

Suzanne, please just add me to the when you see a new topper, buy it list!!! I will be sending some Disney Dollors to support my habbit!! Man, I am out of control with the toppers!! Oh yeah, and should you find yourself wanting to reassure somebody about just picking up and moving to a warmer climate.....call here, ask for Greg!!!

Well, head is getting foggy......think medicine head....and I haven't taken medicine....time to chill out I guess!!!

Mad, mad love to all!!

 

[lizdotcom99]

Lots of sneaters...or it just took me a really long time to ketchup!!!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been scarce lately--as Liz seems to have noticed. I've been going through another busy spell at work. I've been in the office at 7:30 the past two days, and will be in the office the rest of the week that early. By the end of the week, I'll probably have another 10 hours of OT in.

I've been in a bit of a funk off and on lately. I think the past couple of months have been a bit of a challenge because it was the first holiday season without my mom. It started with her birthday on Nov. 13th, followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, and then the first anniversary of her death is on the 17th, followed 10 days later by my birthday. I've had a few times when I've just gotten really depressed, and couldn't snap out of it (which is very unusal for me). I'm hoping that this passes after the end of the month, though.

Well, that's enough about me.

I went to see Oceans Twelve over the weekend, and I agree that while it was good, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. There is one scene that I thought was absolutely hysterical, and I don't want to spill it for those of you who haven't seen it, but those of you who have know what I'm talking about.

Did all of you AP holders hear about purchasing a Disney Dining Experience card being a AP benefit now? Is anyone going to get it? With a trip in May and a trip in Dec, I'm thinking it might be worth getting.

Well, that's all for now.

JellyrollsKaren

 

[believe]

Thanks for all the get well wishes.

Kristy...I did get the tape. I thought I sent you a PM...sorry if that didn't happen. It definitely was a different type of Christmas special.

Sherry...sorry to hear about Junior.

Pam...understand how your daughter would want to stay home when not feeling well. I was tempted the last few days to go to my Dads...just something about the way parents care for you.

Karen...get to feeling better.

Liz...hope you start feeling better also. You must need more cookies By the way..were are the pictures you promised???

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Liz Im actually being really good and doing what the doctors suggest I do. It's okay for me to work and whats happening now with me is a result of the high meds Im on for my lungs. It will lessen as the dosage is dropped. I decided on my own tonight not to go to my eldest ds's first Bball practice because I wanted to just stay home and rest. There will be enough running around in the weeks to come. Just trying to take it easy right now and rest as much as I can. Lately, especially, I have been trying to take better care of me. One, so that I can heal, and two so that stuff like this doesnt keep happening to me.

 

[helenabear]

Busy night... missing some CDs, so I have been searching all over for a few. Up to 172 found... my PotC is missing though

LOL, Kristy... I think my dad used to think that way. Fortunately we've helped expand upon his tastes a bit

Sherry, sorry about Junior with his work... I do hope he can be back and at it soon!

Of course you'd agree with me on Wired, eh Kimmie? You made me laugh with you and Hootie though
Funny, I don't have him on CD... must remedy this

Karen, good luck with all the plumbing!

GASP!! Elaine!! You're *NOT* sending our special home movies, are you?????

Well... err... of course not!!!
(at least not the *good* ones )

Liz, I hope you feel better soon! Eh, I am just a geek... I spend money on gadgets where others spend it on other things... like clothes... desperately need to find some clothes *sigh*

JRKaren, I admit I haven't noticed who is here and who isn't just because I have been busy myself. I hope your work slows down soon. As for your funk... my heart goes out to you on that one. The anniversary of my mom's death falls on Dec 15th... so you have it right smack in the middle of the holidays and then her birthday is shortly after (1/23). So to you and just know, it does get easier with time... hang in there...

More cookies? I think Amanda has a good idea... we all should get more.

With that I am off to try to scan a picture in on my desktop downstairs... then finish this iPod stuff and go to bed. See y'all later!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Liz Im so sorry you are getting sick too. Prayers and pixie dust that it is short lived for you. HUGS m'dear. I hope the storms arent too bad for you. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. You know we worry.

Karen Im so sorry you are in a funk right now. The first year is the toughest. If you need a friend to talk to I am here. I lost my parents within a month of each other five years ago and I can sympathize with what you are going through. We are here for you sweetie. Im sorry you are having to work so much OT. You don't need that right now. You need rest and relaxation and time to heal.

 

[lizdotcom99]

Liz...hope you start feeling better also. You must need more cookies By the way..were are the pictures you promised???

NO!!...NO MORE COOKIES!! As much as I would love to say sure send me dozens of cookies....I know I would just eat them all.....and I don't think your delish cookies are on my diet!! Greg agrees with me too....they are the BEST cookies we have ever had!!

What pics did I promise? Refresh my memory, please!!! Beth has the camera and the pics!! I guess we better start begging her to produce some pics!!!

Hey Bethie, pics please!!! Amanda really wants to see some pics...and I am thinking JRKaren might too!!!

Amanda, hope you are feeling better too!

JRKaren, sorry you are having a tuff time of things!! Know there is a great big hug here for you if you need it!! I sure hope this is one of those things that given time will get better! My grandpa who has been gone for 16 years is still thought of often....and sometimes I just have to cry cause I miss him so much. But, yes, time has made things better....but he is definately not forgotten and never will be!!! Hope you feel better soon. {{{{{hugs}}}}

Headed to bed.....nyquil is kicking in!! Night night to all!! Sweet dreams!!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Dh didnt get to Home Depot. They were closed by the time he got there so he is going to have to rig something until tomorrow when he can get over there. Hey at least I have a brand spanking new pretty toilet. Looking on the bright side of things.

Welcome to the YAYA weightloss club. Now is when begin hearing all about each others highs, lows, and those times when you feel the need to choke the daylights out of all the ridiculously skinny people in your life. Please feel free now to join us in a discussion of how your New Year's Resolutions are working out.

Our first victim...errr volunteer is Tara....


Well, things started off smoothly enough. Usual breakfast muffin but added 20 ounces of H2O. The ride to work seemed like an eternity as the water began to work its magic . The morning went smoothly, no cravings, no threats of violence, and no hunger pains. Lunch was a bowl of pasta with some shrimp. No hunger pains. Life was very good. By the end of the day I had cut out probably close to 1000 calories and had bowled my best series ever (a 458 with my highest game a 173). So the beginning was perfect ... it simply couldn't go down hill.

Woke up this morning craving any and every sugary treat in the house. Resisted and drank 24 ounces of water (by the end of the day it was over 70 ounces of water), had the usual breakfast and by the time I arrived at work I was beginning to get a little hungry. I resisted. Lunch came and I ate a salad and I was beginning to feel a little crabby. By the time dinner rolled around i was ready to bite into the nearest animal! Dead or otherwise! (I thought of Pam and wondered, "How would Pam cook it?" HWPCI!!!) I resisted. So here I sit at the computer with a table spoon, literally, of butterscotch chips for a total of 80 calories. I eat them one at a time and let them melt in my mouth. I made it another day with with my shaved calories. I just hope that I don't find any small animals in my path tonight!! hheheheheh


Now fellow yayaers tell us about your first two or three days of your NYR!! We want to be able to share our experiences together. And if any of our talented computer geeks could make a YaYa clippie for weight loss we would be much obliged

 

[flrose]

Evening all! here's the link to the tattoo I've been contemplating. Hope it works: http://www.luckyfishart.com/rosebudfairy.html

Gosh so many sickies! Maybe it's time we did some cleaning around here . Hope everyone feels better real soon.

Liz, need phone number. I'll call Greg and let him know how absolutely beautiful it is here in sunny Fl. Sorry to hear you are getting ready for some really yucky stuff.

JRKaren: I know what you are going thru. Time does help heal. My dad will be gone 8 years tomorrow and I still miss him. But, I know he is there and listening to me when I need to talk. Hang in there and take care of yourself. Don't work too hard (from the Queen of Pretend working LOL)

Sherry, Sounds like you need some Calgon! Take it easy, ok?

Nancy, Kristy, Pam, Karen, Caroline, Beth, Elaine, Kimmar, Kimmie, everybody.

I'm off to relax for a bit.

 

[lizdotcom99]

Karen sneated.....

Thanks for the get well wishes. Hope you are feeling better too!!!!

See you all in the morning!!

 

[lizdotcom99]

OK, LOTS of you sneated!!!

RM, love the new tatoo!! I will be sure to PM you with my number!!!

Tara, I have to admit, my "new year" didn't start till Monday! So far, so good!!! Working on doing South Beach and have had LOTS of protien and sugar free jello. So, that is my deal!!! I weighed myself, and Greg hid the scale. That is best for me. So next Monday,bright and early, I will weigh in again and let you know where I am at!!! Good luck to the little animals in your path!!! ;-) You can do it!! Keep up the good work!!!!

 

[isyne4u]

Oh my, I think there have been 3 pages of stuff while I was typing my last missive!!

Okay, here's my ketchup:
Sherry...hugs to you DSIL and DBIL. and to your hunny!

Movies...I did see Pulp Fiction..funny movie, haven't seen anything else.

Amanda...get better and then you can join the yaya weight loss group!! You must be well first

Liz...you are queen of ketchup and I was gonna ride on your coat tails but that was 3 pages ago so I have to do my own now. Spring break isn't until the end of March! ugh!

Elaine...as a mac person I think the iPods are great! I don't have one but i think they're cool!

JRKaren...hugs to you!

Pam...I was telling someone today about your Rodney Roadkill, she thought it was funny but she was hoping that you weren't one of the ones I met in FLA last month! I told her you were harmless...really

Caroline...since you are in Canada, I have to ask you a question about one of my cabana boys...is Roy Dupuis on the tv up there? I keep looking for him around here but he seems to have disappeared since La Femme Nikita.

RM...cool tatoo..ouch

Everyone else...I apologize but my brain is fried so I'm going to bed. I'll try and pop in tomorrow!!

hugs

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Sleep well Liz. I hope you are feeling a lot better by morning.

Im gonna head there myself in a few minutes. Had a little zip of alcohol and hoping that helps relax me enough to sleep better tonight and cut the hyper response from the meds.

Sherry I am so sorry they are sending Junior home yet again. There isnt anything they can find for him to do just to keep him busy and on the job? You have been through so much lately. Im so sorry.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

RM what a KEWL tatoo!!! I wish I were brave enough. I dont do pain well though especially not self induced LOL. I think you should go for it. It's really pretty. Where will you be getting it?

 

[isyne4u]

Karen...ack...I didn't mean to forget you in my ketchup!!

I hope you get to feeling better and that you can *use* your new pretty potty!!
