Oh girls a reminder that that special is on tonight with TBL I will be watching looks like it wil be a good show same time and channel....!

Gotta run going to Michaels with Willa!  Have a good day all, another typical fight the fridge at night for me!...lol

Snow: Done!..nice pic!

Randi: Well talk about the other end of the spectrum...lol welcome....gaining is easy just eat lots of junk food, ice cream, ensure, chocolates, breads, pastas.....no really I am just kidding...sounds like a whirlwind you have been in, hang in there!

Alice: Those old injuries can come back to bite us later in life can't they?

Bonnie: Enjoy your 6 days off? Yeah no cooking eh! Is the 6 days off because of thankgiving? woohoo!

Laura: They are not po'd or hanging on till I decide, they are just as content to go out for turkey dinner to a restaurant that day as they do every year, so it is no bother to them at all having to wait, you have to know my family.....shouldn't make such quick judgements on people you don't know it's safer right?

TBL I missed Jay Leno last night but Allen was the best choice I hope Liz goes next....Has anyone noticed just how nice there necks and faces look now with all that fat gone...this is my whole reason for starting my weight loss other then the healthy reasons was to get my thin face back and no double chin or belly...grrr

Wasn't that mascot at the end funny grabbing his belly!..lol

Boy lately I have missed alot of things, I taped the wrong show last night and missed the first hour of dancing with the stars....I didn't want Donny to win I thought i saw some conceit in him! I also missed the American Music awards all toghter...wha?? Tried finding it online but could only see peices here and there, and there were some interesting spots, wardrobe malfunctions, slips on stage etc too!   I always miss the good stuff...lol

Another cloudy day and what can I say nothing new to report stil maintaining I start out so good, go all day on good calorie count and blow it every night....grrrr

Also on TBL what was it when they were all talking to Jillian they said they all had a strategy from the beginning what was it?? And Jillian got ticked and said tell the truth? Does anyone know what it is??

Well I have nothing much to say today girls, sorry....waiting to hear from Brian on Kyle and xmas...$$...later BEB

It's busy on here.....'THE BIGGEST LOSER TONIGHT'!  Are you taping it Bonnie?  Purple CARROTS wonder why they turned orange?

Chris: Sounds like you will have a nice romantic time for thankgiving!  You deserve it.......relax with a little dinner and wine, some nice music and no kids around...woohoo!  I was in my freezer yesterday and I came across that pumpkin pie your recipe from last year I had made 2, ate one last year, I wish I had of put splenda in it though it was sweet if I remember...it was something to do with pumpkins wasn't it?

Nancy: I think the reason it posts twice is you accidentily hit 'post reply' twice!! Are you getting a little walking in or perhaps a SB for indoors may help!

Margaret: My my 7lbs, well get back on the wagon..fast.. and you should be able to shed it quickly, I find if I stay at a weight awhile then gain a little that gain is easy to lose rather then doing nothing about losing it like I have been bad lately! Those waves sound great, did you post any pics in your gallery yet?

Laura: I always put my turkey in cold water in the sink, still in the wrapper and 1 hour per lb to defrost I usually put it in the sink the night before I need it...lol

Lovely: Long time since you dropped by welcome back!

Alice: Did you have surgery or something on your weak knee years ago? Is this why you are having problems with it now or is this from your recent injury only?

Well I had invited Maggie and dad for xmas and they happily agreed to come and then yesterday I called them back and told them I really wasn't sure if I was into the mood with KYle gone and I was quietly thinking of all the extra work this xmas I am not sure I want....I mean it is alot of extra work with having them here, cleaning, buying alot more foods, cooking, entertaining, and my back!I am not even sure if I will put up a tree?....whether they come or not I will still cook my turkey but they go to bed so early like 9pm.....and then what to do with them all day..I just can't seem to get into the xmas mood without Kyle..so I will just send Kyle some $$ or gift certificates and let him buy what he wants...I don't even feel like shopping and anyway my money is going mostly to wipe out my visa bill anyway this year....I know you all can call me scrooge I may not even put up that impossible 7ft tree...takes so much work...pulling out all the branches, fitting it in the trunk, all the decorations, tinsel etc..and for what just me...if I did put it up it would be just for Buttons and Angel and that seems silly! I will only be picking up bulbs all season...maybe I will change my mind as I told Maggie yesterday...gosh I even invited my borther David but he goes to his wife Donna's family for xmas in Georgia so anyway the bottom line I told Maggie to wait until 1 week before xmas maybe by then I will know what I want to do...perhaps the snow will help............anyway another cloudy 5*C or 40F day and just looking forward to working out on my SB to TBL tonight!

Thanksgiving: It must seem strange to have a turkey in November so close to xmas ours is the second Monday in Oct usually...weird though I guess that's why so many people have turkey now and ham at xmas or ham now and turkey at xmas...! I did ask who is staying home for xmas and who is traveling?

I wonder how Carols pregnant daughter is doing she should be due soon eh??

Anyway to all those who I may have missed, or haven't posted in awhile...Happy Thanksgiving..and try not to PIG OUT or do an "Alice" hehehehe...remember that eh Alice from last year..hehehe.

Have a nice day ! BEB...woohoo Biggest Loser tonight!

Banana pudding or banana bread I use to make it all the time, but not now, there are other fruits with less calories I can eat but for the sake of potassium i do try to eat them monthly! 

Bonnie: Cool as a cucumber yeah that's a good saying.....so on a hot day cut open a cucumber and slap it on your neck to cool off, or your eyes to rejuvenate, or in a salad to perk it up!..lol? Hey Bonnie how did your shopping trip go did you get lots of goodies for xmas......?????

Ohio: How has your 179 been going down at all!

Kyle and Brian are going to go to the legion for there xmas this year for turkey dinner, and Nicole and Rob are going to her parents....wish I had more $$ this xmas seems silly me staying home alone, if I could only trust not to fight with Brian I may almost invite them here!  He probably can't afford the Via rail for 2?Have to give it some thought!..Any thoughts????

Well it's a nice day today sunny and again 7*C so I am going for a walk around the lake....I have showered taken my back pils so I am off to get some real exercise...in fact I think I wil walk down which is 1.75 miles and walk around and take the bus back cuz by then my back will be crying....have a nice day all!.............BEB

By the way what happen to our saying game did everyone forget or just give up?

Saying: Good things come in small packages......hehehe

Edit: I came back from a gorgeous walk around the lake, you wouldn't believe how many people are fishing for perch down there, there are hundreds of people....where they pull out the big sail and motor boats with there fishing lines in, it is so very nice to see..it makes my day to see people together enjoying one of my favorite sports...I think tomorrow I may go down and join in the fun...my license is paid up till Dec i always get a 3-year just haven't had the URGE and now that I have I bet I do it for days........lol  I know why I have been avoiding going out..Kyle and memories of all the times together...I think I have to start to make NEW memories for myself...I stopped and had a lite beer in a restaurant and joined this older man for conversation and it dawned on me that life does go on even when the child moves out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just have to find new hobbies and things to do with myself that I enjoy!  RIGHT girls this is what you all have been telling me!

Bonnie: I will eat so I can still have a -500 deficit from my burn but bare in mind I am not nearly as active as you in the exercise dept......but am trying thanks!  for the incentive!!!!!!!!!!!

Off for yet another walk..........in the sun which is almost gone!ahhh maybe just sit on the patio!...Back is bitcxxxxxing!!!

Bonnie: Onions eh...hmm interesting...I also believe garlic has like alot of medicinal purposes too oh and remember when we did that herbs topic last year basil and parsley are really good for us too!....keep your trivia coming!

Coon cats you say Nancy I have a picture from one of them a white one it weighed an astonishing amount something like 60lbs or so aren't they.....woohoo

Margaret: Don't you believe in keeping strictly( indoor cats) at all with a litter box, here I would never let my cats out well 1st I am on the 3rd floor and 2nd the only cat I ever let out was Bandit and of course then I lived in Mississauga (20 miles just west of Toronto) but he was 7 yrs old then and only stayed in the open backyard as I too was near a busy road, he was exceptionally trained by me though never wandered off except for the one time for 4 days.....

Chris: Angel has long hair but Buttons is like a labrador really short hair no mess or fuss at all...right now they are going bezerk I have left the patio door open to air out my home from cooking a big batch of meatloaf for the weekend and the fresh air has drove them to fly!!!!!!!lol It is to bad your DH allergies prevent you from enjoying gods creatures in the future.I heard of a case here that totally had me going crazy there was a family not sure from where they were torturing cats and dogs and raising their children to do it too, now no matter how much you pray these people are just plain sick and need to be locked up for a veryyyyyy long time!  It was in the news too!

I told you girls my mood would pass, if you all know me it all this happens to me every season change SAD they call it seasonal depression....and now I feel better no need to panic...just let me ride it like a surf wave and then I will be fine..at least this is what I have figured out finally.....

The house smells nice from the pinewood air wicks I bought for the stinky boys or should I say kitten and of course my meatloaf I haven't cooked one in a long while...lotsw of green pepper, red pepper, green onion, garlic etc....yummy.........

NIGHT EATING : As to this eating at night problem I have figured I am going to try a new test and if it works i will pass it on, but for now it is only in the testing phase!

Laura: How is your biking coming along?, doing any interesting trails at all!??Your v8 sounds inticing! Yummy and 0 sodium to eh? Glad you enjoyed yoga! For years i have wanted one a juicer or food processor never got one!  Always seems to be something else that takes priority....ahh

Today is sunny and I went out and did some errands picked up meds, groceries etc and did a little brisk walking, came home and did my batch cooking...I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend..Alice are you hiking this weekend or not quite ready yet for that with your knee!  My mountain here is not quite like your mountains there eh..I am talking maybe 5-6000ft up not miles eh, but it is beautiful the views with all the blue lakes all around, jumping fish and chipmunks, squirrels, many many wild birds and animals that I guess you don't see to much of there being more desert like eh? We are so similar to New England, Conneticut in its appealing calling of loons, and brooks whisking throughout the countryside ah I can hardly wait for spring again...lol

Now have a nice weekend girls, watch what you eat, and reach for veggies or fruits not cakes girls!!!!!!!!!I still like my low-cal brownie mixed with my homemade 20 cal jello no sugar in any of it..0 sodium and low fat and cholesterol it gets a B+ rating that takes care of my sweet tooth and has for weeks so I don't know what kooky Bex is talking about!lol

BEBWho needs a new camera...anyone know much about USB port digitals what to buy, any good brands you recommend, do they zoom??

Chris: Oh yea Thursday...lol 

I don't understand why those tenths of a pound are so important girls..come on isn't that obsessing just a bit..a lb is a lb is a lb i would not even mention those tenths...go for a pee and there ......your tenths are gone ..goodness gracious??? lol

Laura: It's nice to buy nice things, makes us feel good, I don't even own a cocktail dress..lol I do have a couple dresses but not one like that I told myself when I get to 140+lbs I wanted to get a dark coloured dress with a nice long slit up the side to show my asset (my legs)......and let the men drool over me when I strut by, of course the opportunity to wear it oh I am sure I will think of something when the time comes...woohoo! Who is 'my girl'? you say that alot?

Leona Lewis the singer I really like her music 1st she sang 'Bleeding Love' and now the song i really relate to is "Happy" anyone esle heard and/or like it?

Chris: Thanks for the words of wisdom lol, yeah I thought that too Kyles look I mean...lol Hard to believe he will be 18 soon....those wrinkles I will mention to him though cuz he does that alot...frown with his eyebrows..lol  Wouldn't want him to look old so young!haha  Your pics are cool love that floor in the LR easy to clean eh?  Your SD has something on her mind in that pic?

Bonnie: I am not sad so how can I be depressed I am just fad up with my daily routine so for the moment I am just going to watch what I eat like Chris and try not to gain anything maybe even keep slightly under in cals...then maybe one day "I will get my mojo back" until then I am still here doing whatever i do! lol

Oh here is my new gallery pic of Kyle !

Does anyone know a site to find what shay looks like now on TBL?

What is muesli...you say jello is processed...okay maybe I am confused but processed food is what exactly, foods that have had things added to it, like salt etc??  to be able to give it a longer shelf life like cereals, sandwich meats etc....so what do I eat then?...

I seem to be eating such bad things how about if you girls post on here some sample menus of what types of things you all are eating daily, maybe each of you could post 1 menu a day or week for me to give me alternative ideas, now I am not talking about meat meals but the in between meal ideas is where i seem to have trouble and lunches?..it could very well give me some healthier options instead of reaching always for the bad stuff in the evenings etc??

Margaret I read an article that suggests to stay away from frozen dinners, take a look at the salt, fat factors, I know I never buy anything without reading the labels now, especially tinned products!  Even some foods that say lite or low fat aren't really that low, so you have to be careful!

Processed foods that may not be as healthy as fresh foods include:

• canned foods with lots of sodium
• white breads and pastas made with refined white flour, which are not as healthy as those made with whole grains
• packaged high-calorie snack foods, like chips and cheese snacks
• high-fat convenience foods, like cans of ravioli
• frozen fish sticks and frozen dinners
• packaged cakes and cookies
• boxed meal mixes
• sugary breakfast cereals
• processed meats
• we also have frozen vegetables, but these are actually healthy for us.

Boy I am crushed yesterday I thought I was doing so well peppers mixed with small shrimps until I fanned my mouse (don't have a mouse) hand over the date on analysis..did any of yo know you can do that it gives you your VitC, calcium, pottasium etc....levels anyway I went into analysis and my total for the day was like 600g of cholesterol????..HELLO??Now I know why I don't eat much fish?? Is there any food that doesn't have a negative impact?

Beef - fat

Fish - cholesterol.....tinned tuna have to buy low sodium for more $$

pork - fat - cholesterol

cereals & breads - high sodium

I mean moderation is soooo true here, doesn't matter what I eat if I want protein then I have to give up something else, if I want Vitamins then something else always suffers.....I wish sometimes I had a nutritionist planning out my meals for the whole week.

Even my cereals I love ..have a fair amount of sodium ever for cereal

Is there anything we can eat daily that has only benefits and no draw backs?

TODAYS CHALLENGE: Name foods that only have benefits, no sodium, no cholesterol, no fat, no sugar??  Can you do it anyone??

Girls: Geez all this talk about germs flying around has me hiding now....I do not have OCD but I could not handle sitting around with people who are carelessly spreading there cold germs all over me?  When I go out I tend to stay away from sneezing sick people, maybe that's why I don't get sick anymore?  I mean Feb07 I really thought I was dying I lost 20lbs in 3 weeks, I was bed ridden, didn't hardly eat and when I did get back on my feet over a month later I was so weak I could barely climb up the stairs from checking the mail...now that was a cough/flu I had, practically coughed up a lung or 2 I never want to be that sick again.  All I kept thinking was that if I was 80 years old then it would have probably killed me...I went through 6 bottles of cough medicine to boot, Kyle was bringing me soup and toast that's all I could even eat.........so yea I don't want people carelessly coughing/sneezing all over me cuz I end up paying....make sense, self preservation is a STRONG thing!  I don't get sick very often but when I get sick I GET SICK!!  Know what I mean?? 

 For you ladies that don't care about spreading germs....shame on you!...people like you are what gives things like the H1N1 it's channeling strength!  If everyone was as careful as me we wouldn't have so many sick people all the time..think about that the next time you sneeze into the air! and not into a tissue...............rant over! I am not pointing any individual finger here so don't anyone take offense please!  Just a general comment outloud!

Anyway onto something more pleasant!...I am getting lazy..lol..... haven't ridden my SB in days, or lifted dumbbells I think I am in a rut I can't find the reasoning anymore..the sun is shining and can't be bothered to go out.....okay pity rant over......grrrr My weight is holding at 171....

Hey I guess Carols daughter should be ready in about 1 month time to deliver the baby girl eh?? Haha  well I said what 7lb 14oz.. my weight...hehe

Well off to play with the kitties...have another nice sunny day wherever you are..they say this weather is gonna last a few more days and are also talking a mild winter up here...yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo!  This time last year we had 20cm of snow to shovel hehehe remember some of you from northern Penn. area,or New York, Buffalo, New England area?.....BEB...'thin is in'!

OH The biggest loser tonight girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now I'll get some exercise from the incentive!!

Alice: Don't forget it is important to take breaks between all those workouts for that reason to give your legs opportunity to recover....hey don't kick me to hard about going out on Saturday evening, it was a small yorkshire, and only 2 little donuts.... remember I am the one who NEVER goes out....I did dance and walk too eh...so for me to say I went out and actually did something I do not feel bad at all....the last time I went out was in the early summer!  Now Sunday and from now till my xmas log I am being sensible I just made a new pepper/shrimp dish today and am going to enjoy the high protein low calorie count!..Later girls! 

Morning another sunny day here and arm boy I could live with these temps all winter...woohoo so unusual for this time of year, but this kinda was my prediction this year since we had such a late opening of al the seasons I did think it would be a late winter...honest!

What is is about everyone I know having bad knees..what causes it in so many young people I don't get it....mine are nromally fine al the althletics and biking/hiking I did all my life why aren't they bothering me...or is that just around the corner for me too?

Nancy: Hey another Nancy...welcome!... I empathize with your problem, and losing the same weight over and over I have just lost 4lbs I regained since the summer...my advice get a scale, and log all foods, not being able to burn off non burning foods is tricky....do the testing of your calorie burn and everything on here..set yourself up as sedentary and see how many calories you need to survive everyday..then subtract at least -500 from that leaving a deficit and you should be able to lose 1lb a week...if your arms are not a problem use dumbbells there are some good exercises I use and can give you the website with little animated characters to help with the building up the under arms and other arm areas just ask!....ask your doctor what exercises if any you can do?  Where do you live Nancy and tell us a little about yourself? Welcome!

Ohio: those were some good ideas you suggested to Bex!  That chair gave me an "all in the family moment" with Archie...I stil see those reruns every once in a while!  Were the 70's just the best!

Bex: I am not sure what I am getting KYle, I had all these great ideas but I think money will be the factor I have 1 more visa pmt then I only have 1 month to save..I suppose since he is getting a play station 2 from his dad maybe some games....clothes...a little pocket money....I am going to be making him a photo album but I still have to go out and buy one of them to display pics for him pics from his baby pics all the way up..their are a lot of pics and then I want to label them proplerly too...something he can cherish long after I am gone...you know...!  All of a sudden I feel old.  Oh and Alice isn't the only one with energy my sweet Bex if it wasn't for my back holding me back I would be doing the same things her and Helene are doing...does make me feel a little bad that of all the things that screwed up had to be my back...I quess better then knees though from what I am hearing! Hey you called me Lee that's a 1st...hehe..tell me is Bex your nickname for something?

Alice: I really do have your energy lol ...which is why it is so hard to 'restrain myself'...maybe that's why I eat...If you get any cravings to come to Canadas eastern side for a retirement trip you had better look in on me we can go and climb my mountain up north of here around Algonquin park! as long as I have my pills lol...and the gorgeous fresh water Blue lakes are to die for with there endless beauty, luscious trees, and fresh crisp smells of nature are some of the nicest views in the world as some of my pics have shown throughout the year....are you sold yet?.....do you like canoeing at all? Or sliding down rock waterfalls?How about camping, boating or fishing?  Since you are desert people I guess the concept of fresh water sounds appealing..yes?  I have mentioned my friend Denise from Pennsylvania her and I did the Algonquin trip circuit once in the 70's what a blast we had we still talk about it to today!  Anyway just thought I's share that....how was your sons BD what did you end up doing or buying him?

Well hope everyone is having a nice weekend and enjoying whatever you are doing..smells of autumn are so persistent in the air right now I just feel like jumping in leaves or burning themthose luscious musky smells of dried up leaves, the crispness of the morning air, frost on the windowpanes..people are scarce outside even the children aren't flocked outside like when Kyle was here...I sure have seen a change since he moved out there is almost a void an emtpiness outside without him...the kids don't have the determined little fellow drawing them outside anymore whether it was raining, snowing or hailing didn't stop Kyle from going out, on that count how very much he is like his mum!  Ahhhh I miss him so much!and then there's xmas yikes...can I come over to your place Alice or Chris?..Well off to finish downloading some songs for my friend Hattie..chow Oh Hattie is a DJ for a club and being one of my oldest friends thought I would surprise her with 2 cd's of club music..bye for now

Chatty cathy..lol..........BEBoh remember think 'THIN'...LOL 

Bex: Eyes failing..hmm...audio books have no idea does she have a computer?  Before you say no alot of elderly people do....I was wondering if you buy her a mp3 player she can use the USB port to download her choices onto her mp3.

Speaking of eyes failing where do you buy those magnified with lights table gadgets that you look through to enlarge items and there is a light attached you see CSI using them all the time on small items etc??

I have been using limewire to great success and have it all backed up up onto the 8GB memory stick for safe keeping.....what do you give an 80 year old how about a cruise!...lol ......Or a nice big book with pictures of various places around the world that would be entertaining and she could go somewhere without leaving home! Maybe on a safari!...lol

Chris: Well i was just curious as everyone else....don't get your shorts in a knot...lolDid you not like my xmas idea with your SD? Or just having a bad day at the office?....?

FTF: Ha ha thanks for the cute mental picture....You said it will be Buttons 1st xmas I can just imagine the first day after the tree is decorted all the bulbs all over the house!  He will probably eat tinsel too!Last year I pulled some tinsel out of Angels rear-end from eating it

I just lost Buttons, I heard him crying, then I couldn't find him...panicked and going from room to room calling his name..Angel who usually goes on the hunt was doing the room to room search with me....after I am crying his name endlessly he finally comes out from wherever he was...thing is I checked everywhere and didn't know where he was....now I still don't know where he was hiding....kids? 

Oh good news it will only cost $50.00 to get Buttons fixed by the SPCA here on Jan7th I only hope I can keep his legs closed that long he is already trying to hump me...men!I wonder if there is a deterent!  Angel has his tail in the air last night it looked weird for him to be lying like that I hope he WASN'T trying to invite Buttons?now that could get interesting?

Chris: Beautiful sunsets I find at this time of year!....and no there is no oiling needed on my SB I have just started using it daily again...I don't want to lose the muscles from lack of use..and it burns calories right?  No I am not eating junk food, and today I am cooking a pot roast with winter squash and whipped potatoes that should last me the whole weekend...haven't had a roast since Kyle moved out! 

Bonnie: Good that you are trying something different the 'torture pilates' hehe...it may be just what your waistline needs, I see commercials with that lady in the burgundy doing them on tv all the time...I have to try it sometime when I am thinking of it! When you mentioned body sculpting a few weeks ago I thought you were talking about actually making out of clay or something, don't know what I was thinking...silly me...didn't realize it is a form of exercise...lol

Have fun on your shopping spree!!... and your Italian dinner out afterwards...I bet you'll do well and get it all done in one day!....I don't go out much but when you get into the mall and hear that xmas music and see people smiling with christmas cheer it is so easy to get into the spirit of it...I am waiting for some snow to get me to that point! Then I will spend the whole day, with back breaks of course and do it...like I only have 1 person to shop for well 2 if I buy myself something...I want a digital camera! and some new sports bras!..lol

So girls: What is everone doing for xmas this year now that we have tantilized everyones christmas spirit and dangled the idea in front of all your noses like a carrot to a horse...lol Soon we all have to start getting out the decorations and buying or putting up trees..I may buy a small one but I am thinking of Buttons I have this 7ft maybe I should maybe I shouldn't...let him have the experience so many before him have had...Angel and Bandit that is?

Oh and Chris: Remember last year you were the last one to get your tree decorated eh....?  ahem...  Get your SD together with you to do it this year that would be a very good 'family experience  to share' with her together right?..

Boy all this talk has me getting in the mood...almost ...but the warm sunny weather makes it hard for me to think of xmas just yet...I mean weather here is so much like New England and New Hampshire right! and Penn....!

Well off to take a shower, my pot roast I always add a bundle of my grandmas recipe of herbs wrapped in a cheesecloth for that extra pickley scent and taste!...hmmm yummy...

what a treat..bye for now...BEBwho wants to go to church this xmas!!

I always thought throughout my life I would come across a gem mine...never did...but boy wouldn't it be something to be swimming in birthstones...hehe

FTF: Yes after i wrote that I realized positivity is the way to treat that, you can get swallowed up by the drama on the show sometimes can't ya!..lolI am going to miss Shay and Daniel and I miss Abby but there are how many left so what 3-4 more weeks and that's it eh?  Well I guess I will have to route for Danny now the musician...lol

I use to be such a positive person I find I am getting cynical in my old age...have to nip that in the butt!

Xmas is 6 weeks away..don't know if I am putting up the tree, maybe for Buttons but I can just see it now, bulbs everywhere and I am sure to be picking the tree up every morning after he is done with it maybe I should just save myself the trouble and get a smaller one this year like 2 feet tall instead of the 7ft I have..it always seems every year it creeps up on us so fast.!...the thing is I think that we associate xmas with snow..well I DO and it's hard to get into the mood of xmas when I see green grass and have such warm temps. as of late...I always get into the mood when I see snow outside and if in a mall hear xmas music playing.....won't be the same anyhow without Kyle...Brian says he is getting him a play station 2 with games...I suggested a WII so he can play his game cube games but he says he can pay less for the other way, so I am staying out of that one!....I wil call Kyle later and chat up some ideas....later girls!

BEX: Well April 19th is Kyles 18th and his grandparents (fathers side) anniversary too 52 years!  I was also Married to my first husband and this was his BD...must be a good day...I know it was for me! All 6lbs 11oz of it!and 19.1/4 inches...lol and my dads BD is Apr7th...he'll be 89 this coming year!

Well off to watch my shows......yeah the biggest loser! Go Shay go!

Now this is so funny...earlier today I changed my pic quote to say "when the going gets tough the tough get going" the funny thing is tonight on the show Jillian said that exact quote!  talk about ironic!
