Good morning haters!!! I’ve been so busy lately that I thought I better stop in and visit my fellow haters! I miss you all!!!

Michele – I KNEW that your Thanksgiving meal would be a success. Why did you even doubt yourself??? Silly!! I bet you’re officially nominated to make it every year now, huh? You are doing so great with your workouts!!! High Five to you!

Jennifer – What a relief to find out that your mom’s scare was acid reflux. Your family needs to stop giving you scares for a bit now. You sound like you’ve been through enough lately. My boys want to see “The Bee Movie†but the thought of taking a 2 year old and a six year old to the movies isn’t appealing to me. Ha!!! I’m with Michele, ice skating sounds like a good idea. Not for me though, I’ve only gone 2 or 3 times and I’m not too graceful. I’ve never gone skiing either.

Jen – hey! Sounds like you’ve been really busy. I’m assuming you are back to work today? I can’t believe that your ex showed up at your house. That takes nerve.

August – don’t know if you have time to check in but I have to tell you this, last night I dreamt that you were opening up for Blink 182, how funny is that???? And the other day Gabe asked me if I could call you b/c he wanted to chat with you. I’m like, Boy, are you nuts???? I am not calling Japan for crying out loud. If you want to chat with her, send her an e-mail. Although I think the sneaky boy had something up his sleeve. He is into these Japanese tops and he figured he could talk to you about them. I swear he thinks you are his age. Ha! My DH just ordered him 2 off of e-bay.

Robin – how have you been?

Diane – how are you and the family doing? Are you still following WW? How was Ella’s first holiday?

I really shouldn’t even be on the computer, I have so much to do here. I have been attempting to clean my house for days and nothing has been done. I still have off work tomorrow but I am ready to go back NOW. My boys are driving me nuts. All they do is fight with each other, run around the house, scream, get the dog fired up, mess everything up, etc. I think it takes a very special person to be a stay at home mom and I definitely am not cut out to be one.

Friday morning I went shopping. This was my first experience with the early Black Friday shopping. I left my house at 4:50 am, headed to Sears b/c they were supposed to be having a special on Nintendo DS Lite Holiday bundles, get there and the sales associate tells me that they don’t carry game systems. They why the hell did they advertise it in the sale flyer????? So then I head over to Wal-Mart b/c they are supposed to have the same sale, but they were sold out. I was batting a zero!!! So I just bought Gabe a DS and a game, spent more then I had wanted to. I also got him a mp3 player for $35. I guess I am about ½ done with my Christmas shopping. But, everything that I have already bought is wrapped. I hate wrapping gifts so I do it as soon as I buy something. Yesterday I started baking Christmas cookies. I made 3 different kinds so far and put them in the freezer. I wanted to start decorating my house but that isn’t going to happen until I get the pig pen cleaned. I did put a swag on my front door this morning though.

Here is an update on my workout room. I believe that my DH is on a stand still with my room so I have cleaned it up and am going to start using it. I’m not going to do any cardio (boo hoo) b/c the floor is concrete and no good for cardio. But I think tonight I’m going to do some weight training. My all time favorite Cathe workout is GS BBS so I think I’ll do that one to get me back into the swing of things. I painted my 2 walls yesterday PURPLE. DH hates it and said it looks like Barney should be living in there. I love purple though so who cares what he has to say. The other 2 walls are up but they are basically the back of DH’s nice walls in his area so you can see the wires, etc. He said that he is going to get me some paneling. I also want to get laminate floor and then I saw a floor at Lowe’s that I want to get to lay over top of it. It is exercise flooring, I believe it is a 10ft x 4ft piece, black with purple speckles in it.

Today is the first day of deer season in PA so DH is out this morning. He went hunting in NY last weekend and got a buck. Over the weekend he made 30 rings of deer bologna. Oh my! I have no idea why he is out hunting again.

Well, I guess I had better get going. I really do not want to clean but really have no choice. Have a great day ladies. My God was I long winded, just look at this post
 
DANA!!!!!

Hey stranger!! I was so happy to see that you started our thread today :) (I was just getting ready to start it and was so relieved when I saw your post. I hate starting threads for some reason that I can't explain).

I'm glad you're using your workout room even though it isn't finished. I think serious nagging is in order :p . What is that black speckled flooring -- is it rubber? That would be good for over concrete.

WTH does deer bologna taste like? I've never eaten deer meat. I'm sure I wouldn't like it -- I only like about 3 things :p ;) . Speaking of food I like -- I don't want to hear anything about cookies, k!? I mean, nothing can knock me off my diet bandwagon like a good cookie or 2 or 3.

We had a great weekend. We kept it low key and tried to relax and just enjoy ourselves. We ate dinner out on Saturday night then came home and watched a movie on TV -- The Best Years of Our Lives. Sunday we polished off the last of our holiday leftovers. You know, my dressing and gravy weren't that fattening. I made them so I know exactly what went into them, and I'm telling you it wasn't that bad ;). We didn't have candied sweet potatoes and tons of over-the-top sides and desserts. We kept it simple.

Yesterday afternoon we went to see Bella. That has to be one of the BEST movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend it. I loved it and I'll probably buy the DVD.

Hello to the rest a youse haters. I need to dash off here. I have several errands to run today and I better get moving. I'll BBL to chat some more. :*
