<--understands how Robin feels about her Mom
<--thinks each of our Moms is worse to us than to others

<--still has some more new stuff to try on
NTF

<--will stay far away from the stuff! :eek:
 
<-- tells all that this year <-- read the ingredients in the Chex and #2 is sugar on all of them x(
<-- would absolutely love to help Robin out with her mom!
<-- thinks Robin's proposal is a great one if and only if <-- gets the check that better be coming at Christmas }( :eek:
<-- tells Nance <-- is 5'2"
<-- wonders if it is better for RDM to have lost her license this way or on Thursday
<-- wonders how VT would/could have taken it away on Thursday
<-- hopes RDM only had the one car
<-- is still confused about the cat
<-- has to go back to studying again
<-- must say first that <-- wrote out the week and it looks marginally do-able!
<-- asked DH to turn Christmas music on in the house so it would play the entire time he is at work in an attempt to make <-- study and not turn on the TV for noise
<-- asks we all keep our fingers crossed that it works! :D
<-- ((((((((((Robin))))))))))
 
<--waves to y'all :)
<--is eyeball deep in Christmas STUFF!
<--wants to give Robin a big (((((HUG))))) and tell her that she is strong, but thinks that she can only be tested as a mom, grandma, and daughter for so long, and hopes that she has enough support from others to buoy HER :)
<--hopes that came out right, but is just ocncerned and wishes we all were closer and could HELP!
<--really admires Robin's attitude and fortitude :)
<--^5s Ame on the weight loss and is so glad that the meds are working out :)
<--thinks Nance's world sounds cozy today and wants to congratulate her on the "no smoking for 10 years" anniversary!
<--saw a woman in the mall yesterday that made <-- think of Michele and then realized that <-- doesn't know what she looks like, so how could this woman remind <-- of Michele????
<--thinks it was due to this woman looking very fit and wearing Ralph Lauren jeans :7
<--needs to post a pic of <--, but first must find a decent one :eek:
<--is NOT photogenic :7
<--has to get back to wrapping before kiddlies return ;-)
 
<--- is back
<--- has finished baking three kinds of cookies and a Pumpkin Cranberry loaf
<--- is forgoing a workout today because may have overdone the past two days
<--- 's back is killing her and she can't hear out of either ear
<--- is looking for someone to please tell her it's okay to not work out:-(
<--- would like to kindly point out to Robin that though the rope may be frayed and Robin is at the end of it, there are lots of us here underneath waiting to catch Robin if she falls:)

<--intended to clean out some closets this weekend, but can tell it's a lost cause
NTF
 
<--reassures Shelley that her body has been so taxed from her illness that it would not be able to repair those microscopic tears from weight lifting, and she wouldn't want to lose any of her awesome muscle growth right? :)
<--also is quite sure that her flurry of daily activities has burned enough calories to qualify as cardio and is sure Michele would concur :D
<--hugs Shelley, hands her a steaming cup of cocoa, turns on some Tool, and tells her to relax :)

<---sends her a hug
<---says the best thing to do when you get lots of hugs is to give them back
<---wants Nancy's new comforter and robe
<---has a very nice terry cloth robe DH bought her a couple years ago, but it is so heavy
<---pressed very hard on the keyboard while typing the word heavy so you all have the feeling of heaviness

<---'s DH would like me to gain back 10 of the 15 pounds lost, while <--would like to lose another 5
<---wants some of Shelley's pumpkin cranberry bread - never tried combining the 2

<---again wants to thank you all for the hugs and support
<---doesn't know how she ever survived life's stesses before finding Cathe.com
 
<-- agrees with Robin about how on earth <-- ever survived life's stresses without Cathe.com
<-- now affectionately says <-- has met you all in Catheland
<-- is amused by the blank looks as people try to figure out what <-- is talking about
<-- tells Robin <-- had a robe like that and this year <-- asked for a new, non heavy one
<-- will have to wait and see what happens on that one
<-- still has to do yoga and keep studying
<-- wants to hug Tammy from afar because sometimes when you are in a foul mood it is best for all to keep a distance
<-- (((((((((( Tammy ))))))))))
<-- still ((((((((((Robin))))))))))
<-- forgot that <-- was going to Nance's for dinner tonight
<-- wonders if <-- missed it at 8:45pm??

<---understands aboot them funny looks
<---has friends who know what <--means when <--say "My Cathe friends"

<--jumps in to say hi to youse guys!!
<--TOTALLY understands about Robin's mother!
<--had a really bad arguement with <--mom
<--thought <--was going to have a stroke
<--thinks it must be the Greek passion coming out
<--thinks <--mom is going crazyx(
<--went to doctor last week
<--found out <--have high blood pressure 140 over 80
<--is really pissed about itx(
<--knows it's because of mom's controlling attitude
<--thinks that <--only hope is to stay away from her for a while
<--doesn't know how to do thatx(
<--will use Christmas and dinner for 23 as an excuse
<--feels so bad for Robin
<--{{{{{Robin}}}}}
<--wonders if anyone can tell <--drank too much wine while listening to Dean Martin tonight?
<--sorry for the rant
<--bbl

ETA<--don't know why Tammy is in the HH but is sending hugs((((((Tammy)))))!!!!
 
<-- is in an INCREDIBLY BAD MOOD
<-- spent all day studying and for absolutely no reason
<-- is going to fail the exam if it is any indication that after the hours and hours just sitting there, "studying", <-- answered 3 of the 4 sample questions WRONG
<-- also has the UTI back and raging just in time for the stupid exam
<-- will not be able to get more antibiotics before the 8:30am exam start time
<-- is peeved at the doc who only gave <-- 6 pills and did so with an incredulous tone in her voice that <-- even HAD a UTI
<-- is going to go away now
<-- hasn't done a workout today, either x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x( x(
 
<--is very sorry that is sounds like lots are in a foul mood!
<--is actually in a very good mood because <--only has 7 hrs of work left
<--has a staff meeting after work, but still gets paid for that!!!
<--knows that the main topic of the meeting is why the ICU is becoming the float pool of the hospital!
<--it's been averaging 3-5 nurses from the ICU are "farmed" out to the rest of the hospital
<--thinks that was the main idea behind why other supervisor was fired and a different one was brought in!
<--other supervisor did not let ICU staff "roam" as freely as current boss does!
<--thinks that Ame did not get UTI "back" but that it never left completely!
<--knows that it's very common for diabetics to have to have longer than 3 days of antibiotics for them!!!
<--and if <--knows that and <-- is a nurse, <--thinks it's rather stupid for the doctor not to realize that!!!
<--replenishes the chocolate in the HH fountain
<--restocks the wine rack in the HH (since it sounds like it's been raided!;-) )
<--stocks the HH with soft, comfy bathrobes (like in those BIG schmancy hotels)
<--comforts Shelley and gently reminds her that it *is* okay to not workout once in a while!
<--is sorry that Robin is having difficulties with Mom!
<--isn't looking forward to when <--'s parents starting doing that stuff!
<--knows that the family with look to <-- when that happens because of what <--does for a living!
<--is done with the Sunday Novella!
<--tucks any and all in and makes sure the sleeping dust is scattered evenly over everyone!
