Welcome to the Ya Ya Riverboat

Good morning everyone, or whoever is here. Not much going on here, huh?

Elaine: You hit the nail on the head about eating less. A big mistake of mine was to always leave the table stuffed. So wrong. Now I will eat only when I feel hungry and will stop when the hungry feeling goes away. Of course I plan on cutting out sweets, and what the carbs, which is so hard!! Seems like just about everything is a carb.

As far as exercise, well once I get back to work and I am chasing the students around again that is exercise. We didn't have any from last fall that graduated and we are picking up 2 more. The new boy is autistic but the teacher never said what the new girl was diagnosised with. She is sweet as can be.

Well nothing left to say so I will move on and read some more threads.

good morning gang,

Paula...lots of pd for you on your job and on Alyssa leaving!!

Susan...glad you are feeling better. I'm a teacher also, so I'm getting ready to go back to school too!! yuck!! hehee

Elanie.. you are feeling better!!!

Nancy...sorry, I'm too much of a wuss to stay up too late at night!! These youngins think their job is to wake me before the sun comes up (ok, so I guess the sun is up by 7 but i prefer to wait until about 10!!! )

Beth...good luck with the day job and the new bosses (do you get to keep boy genius?? ) I might have to try my hand at the cards and such for christmas this year. Maybe you can show me some stuff when we are there next month!! What about Jon is he still coming???

Alan...you are bad!! Made me go back and reread Lainey's post!! hehehe

Took the ole car to Saturn yesterday to get the new tire. I don't trust the box stores for stuff like that since they usually want you to buy six tires instead of one! The girl who helped me last time for my oil and such told me that since I have my car care warranty through them and I get all my oil changes and maintance through them that my road side hazard thingy might take care of hte tire. So she called me this morning and told me that the good news was the tire was replaced. The bad news was it was going to cost me.................................$5.71!!!! I think I can handle that much!!

So I'm going to go pick up my car, get some lunch, and then go to my classroom and work some more. I spent 5 hours there yesterday working on it, so I only need to spend about a bazillion more to get it finished!!

Take care all, I'll be back later!!

Hi Tara

Technically I am a teacher's aid. I work with the multi needs students in one of our local high schools. If the teachers heard someone refer to me as a teacher they would have a cow.

There is a brand new teacher in our classroom this year. The one we had last year was asked to leave. He had a lot of growing up to do. (24 going on 16)
From what I hear the new one is female, experienced and very nice. We will see.

Susan, hey I consider good teacher aistants to be teachers!! My TA the last 5 years was the absolute best TA in the whole school! (well, maybe I was a little biased!) She could teach some of these kids way better than the regular teachers!!

Good luck with your new teacher. Break this one in right!! hehe

 

[Stitchfans]

I will do my best. On my honor!

 

[helenabear]

Susan, good luck with cutting out the carbs! That I will NEVER be able to do. So no way could I deal with a Atkins kind of diet. I did a true cut of straight calories which worked for me... dropped a few sizes over the years. Went from a 16 down to a 4ish (I say that as I have as small as a 2 and big as a 6 that fits).

Tara, woo hoo on the cost of the tire!!! That's great!!!!

Okay, where is everyone today???

 

[isyne4u]

holy cow!! the last post was at 2 and it is now 8!! oh my goodness!! We are on page 4!!!!

save the ship!! save the ship! SOS SOS

[isyne4u]

Damn! Lainey did the bump while I was doing a bump!! hehehehe

you're right great deal!! I will continue to take my car there for the oil changes (well, I have to since I paid for an extended warranty that gets all of my oil changes, tire rotations, etc. without any out of pocket expenses for me!!)

Headed to read a book to the boys before bed!!

maybe i'll return later!!

I'm back left for a little while. It is only 8:25. Anybody here?

If anyone is listening. I did fairly well today with cutting out my carbs. All I had with carbs was a piece of soda bread which I had bought from an Irish shop before I ended up in the hospital.

This isn't going to be easy cause I love my bread. Had NO SWEETS at all today.

Am I talking to myself? I feel stupid.

Good night...

Hi everyone - I did more dorm shopping for Alyssa today...BJ's and Walmart. Got her a security cable lock for her laptop - battery recharger for digital camera - and a cool "pillow speaker" to use with her laptop because she hates headphones. She and Ryan bought SEason 2 OC dvd set - she get "custody" fo season 1 and he gets Season 2 - lol!!

Clock is ticking....nothing packed yet.......she's not even home....spending prescious last days with her boyfriend.....she'll be home tomorrow.

Chris is at his friend Johns - this afternoon was a big cribbage tournament - tonite they were playing poker.

Guess I would not be good at cutting carbs either - all I had for dinner was a big slice of italian bread@!!!!

and to all......

 

[DISNEYFANRI]

Sorry - the pillow speaker was for the IPOD not laptop........me very very tired!!!!!

Evening, all.

Well, I did it-stayed from 8am until 10pm. Call it what you will -Iron, Stretch, "B" Day, I'm pooped. Sitting here with a very strong drink and visiting with my yaya sistahs and bothers.

Don't you just love when you have a conversation with the boss, and two weeks later, they play dumb "Oh, you wanted to do that?". I think I'd deal much better with a "I will discuss that idea with you later" than to pretend said conversation never occurred. Argh!

Anywho, let me catch up with the DIS and check in with y'all later.

Suzanne

 

[isyne4u]

Hey Suzanne, don't use "anywho" around some Disers!! There is a thread about phrases that bug people and one of them is "anywho"!! Sorry work is being a PITA!! Did you ever hear anything about the other store?

Hi Paula...glad you clarified the pillow/laptop thing. I wondered how you would lay down to use your 'puter!!

hi Lily!! Bye Lily!!

Good night all!!!

Hope everyone has a SUPER SPECTAULAR DAY!!!

HUGS TO ALL!!!!

Morning all! Quick hi before I get things done!

I never would've thought that the dealership would've had such good service. I bet they are more concerned with keeping not only service customers, but maybe car customers in the future!

Susan, you aren't talking to yourself, but I signed off a bit early... ET gal here so at 9:30 I was in bed watching TV with my hubby
Glad you did so well your first day w/o carbs... and truthfully, don't get discouraged. I am not one to say don't watch what you eat, but not all diets are for everyone, so if this doesn't work as well as you hope, try something else. But I am sure you can do great!

Miss you Lily, hope things lighten up for you soon!

Paula, I can only imagine how busy you are with Alyssa right now... good luck with everything!!!!!

Suzanne (for your boss) been there, done that... I hate that! Glad you survived that long shift!!!!

Hi to the Karens!

I'm off to bike and get some things done... Luis wants the grass cut at somepoint today too... fun stuff
