Hi guys.
Hey BIG welcome to Pauline!! A new person! We havn't had a new person for ages! Very exciting!
So, on todays agenda was the yearly "lets get out Photos taken with Santa". We get there early (theres already a que) Santa comes ho hoing, Are you all waiting to see me? he says. Who does he think I am standing in line waiting to see? THe elf?
This santa is the most talkative santa I've EVER come across. Imagine it, ladies, standing in line, waiting to see Santa, while he talks to every child for what seems like an eternity! In the middle of the TOY section of the Dept Store. People EVERWHERE! Andreas head is very very tender after the migrane effort of yesturday. Andreas temper and patience is also very very tender. The girls are behaving beautifilly and I am beaming with pride. I am then flushed with anger as some woman goes past for about the 100th time and runs my foot over -AGAIN - with her stroller! GRRRRRRR.
There is a happy ending to this sorry tale, My girls were both smiling happily sitting on santas knee in the photo. This is the first year, They are both smiling, genuinely happy to be sitting on santas knee having their photo taken. Whew, imagine my mood had they not looked happy??

I forgot, (I can see you all now, rolling your eyes at me! what! shes got more to bloody well say?)
Jean - Maybe if you and I swapped 5lbs? Would that work? You take my 5 and I take yours? I know, I'm off the rails today. BUT I AM SICK OF MY 5 unmoveable pounds! I don't want them anymore, so I figured maybe I'd like yours better? Ha HA!
Elaine - OMG you poor thing! How on earth did you survive? I fall in a screaming heap if we lose power for an hour! You are a champion! Well done. That must've been awful for you and the family. AND shovelling snow is one HELL of an workout!
Foxy roxie - Hows the pup settling in? I am a little depressed, CHARLEAN hasn't arrived yet. I probably won't see it until after xmas.
Amelia- I've been meaning to ask, hows hubby doing? Still stressed or a bit better. AND I'm confused, didn't you have a chihuaha? (can't spell sorry)
Pauline - I'm 43, over weight by 10lbs and like everyone here wants to get rid of it.
Andrea - good to see you. Glad that the eatings OK.
Becca - Could you please tell me what SAHM means? I've looked at it and looked at it? I can't work it out.
Now, I am finished! Whew.......

Hey Andrea,afternoon! Yay on the christmas pictures...and what was up with the lady with the stroller? ive got a chiuahua and a lab mix(lab stays outside and the chiuahua stays inside) its just impossible to walk them at the same time. Besides the chiuahua doesn't like being on a leash. Dd is fine...she has a pj party at school today,shes very excited right now.
Today is a upper body workout and thats it. Im still 'riding my wagon' this will be day three for me. Came in right under my calorie limit for yesterday
How are you guys doing?

Hi everyone. I'm not ready for the holidays. Its a shame too, because I was all excited after Thanksgiving, but I've done nothing to decorate my house. Christmas tree is still laying in the box from when I bought it on Thanksgiving. Shopping is pretty much done because most of it needs to be mailed. But yesterday when I went to mail my packages at work the post office was closed (on their lunch at the same time as my lunch). So now it's a trip to post office and probably late presents.
Andrea, instead of switching 5 pounds, let's kick them to the curb and let them find their own home some where else.
I've got to scoot. I'll try to check back for more personals.

Hi girls,
Andrea: I probably would have given the evil eye to the lady with the stroller and then moved on to say something to her. I don't do well in crowded stores with rude people. Every time the lights flicker(which they have down several times) my younger DS yells "MOM" I have to reasure him it is okay.
Jean: We put our tree up a week ago and it stayed with no ornaments on it for a least a week. Now it only has 7 ornaments on it and some beads.Very,very sad. My kids and DH said they like it that way. Go figure!
Amelia: Great job riding your wagon!! May I jump on?
Pauline: Bridgewater is not far from my MIL. I live close to Worcester near the NH border. I also work in a hospital.
Hi to AndreaH, Roxie,Becca .
I managed to get the lawn mower out of my workout area(long story) and sweep my mats. I did HIS cardio only and a couple of Kettlebell exercises. Not bad sense I haven't workedout in 2 weeks.( cold then power outage)
Okay gotta go and shower and call work and try to get to the library before the storm moves in.
We are going to have a white Christmas!!

Just a quick drive by to say Hi! I will check in later with my workout. I have Leaner Legs scheduled plus 25 min TM walk/jog intervals.
Andrea, SAHM = Stay at home mom.
I need to rip down wallpaper in my boys' room. We ordered bunk beds for them for Christmas and they will be here Tuesday. I have got to take down the "baby" wallpaper and paint it something fun and boyish.
Have a fantastic Friday, all!

Hi
Its three am and I am wide awake! GRRRR.
Thought I'd pop in ans say hi.
Hi
I did some garden maintenance today and my body is "screaming" at me!
I used the gardening as the workout as it was a lot of heavy lifting, digging, and pushing heavy wheel barrows around. I can't "see" any dramatic change is the garden yet, but I can see dramatic scratches all over my arms from the rose thorns -Ouch!
Finished Santaas shopping Hooooray!
Just got some bits and pieces left - everyone off to the hairdressers, something new to wear, new shoes, that sort of thing. I'm glad to have finished the santa stuff
Hey, I forgot, my eating was great today, Apart from the two choc frogs, I've just eaten GGRRRRR.
O.K My eyes are getting sleepy, so its back to bed for me! see you.

Weekend was a bust, but at least the tree is now up. I think I have given up eating and working out. Oh well it's Christmas. I'll squeeze in what I can and try to keep the damage to a minimum. 2009 here I come.
