That ww update, incase someone was wondering?

And I write this for me really, and to make it all accountable and Written!! I forked over my 15.00, jumped on the scale and got me a High 5!~!! from my scale checker. Yep! she got her lifetime status the same time I did 7yrs ago in Dec2003. So she knows me. hehe I'm so glad she's still there really. There are about 4-5 people in the meeting too that have been there since then as well. They come they go they come they go, we all do the same. Life gets in the way. I'm planning for this to be a GO GO GO for me, and stick with it. I'm not getting younger and I'm convinced I will continue to learn as I continue to go to these meetings as well as while I age.  Everything changes and I'll have to change with it.


Oh you wanted to know the results?  3.2lbs loss! for the week, bringing me to a total of 10.6lbs loss. That also got me 2 pretty 5lb stickers, anddddddd my 5% loss sticker, yes I know you can now do the math and find out where I was but know this, that's 5% + a bit more total loss.  So next stop? get my way to 10% loss! So in 4wks I've lost 10.6lbs! doing what I should have been doing all this time and writing every bite.

OK back to your regular Thursdays with all of you...


Oh on the way out, I bought my MJ a candy tomato plant, it's for "cherry/tiny" tomatos. We'll see how it goes. I even bolted it into his carseat to drive it home. It's just a baby plant!
 Since Ann linked me in to Linky! I'll add her badge too :)

Random Tuesday Thoughts, Dentist so it's Tuesday

Ok so as I see by my Desktop Calandar it's Tuesday, get yourselves a Badge over at Keely's And get to some Random izing..



(forgot my badge,oops)
If you've been reading here for the last year, you've come to realize that I spend a lot of Tuesday's at the dentist. Remember readers don't let your dental care lapse!!! it could cost you a LOT of fillings, and removal of old filling and new fillings. I really now wonder how many of my teeth are actual teeth in there? Cleanings are getting easier though.

Tomorrow Mr5 gets to go to School orientation! ACK!! and a bus ride around the school. This should be "fun" LOL

I'm going to have to leave MRalmost11 nad Mr8 playing in the school yard while we do all this. I'm sure they can handle it. :P

I noticed some dresses on sale this week (and I use the word sale loosely as they are not cheap)and they have "Curve-tech". Apparently Curve-tech has built in bra with padded, underwire cups. So I have to ask. IF you need to wear a bra in your dress, isn't it safe to assume that your "girls" are big and that they don't need extra padding? really? I have the same problem everysingle year with bathing suits. If I wanted them bigger? I'd put an eye out or something. you know if someone got close.. maybe I should stop that talk now...


I've read 3 surveys this week and all of them asked what  are you currently reading? Blogs? isn't the answer they are looking for, so I'm off in search of a good book. Anyone with suggestions? Nicholas Sparks is not on my list. too much blah blah blah in the ones I've read. Action would be great, funny is good too.

Ever Been to Africa? no neither have I but Julie wants to go, go on over and give her a read, if you haven't already... Africa

yep that's me pimping her out.. she used the word not me, I have a firm belief she wont be offended at all? (If you are my family and reading? well you can just skip over the parts you don't like but click)

As for my family? really they aren't reading but I'm going to keep it simple for their future, you know for when FB takes over the world and sucks us into the "life is too social" media.

now I want a muffin, darn it but I don't want Muffin top. Altar of Truth night tomorrow, I'll sip my tea instead...

Well I think I've rambled enough, and you've heard enough. Critter count? The fox was lazing in the back yard yesterday, I got a pic but it's just her tail as she takes off. I'll try again and see if she's sunning herself. I think she leaves the kids at home so she can get some sun and a breather.

Happy Random Tuesday!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes today is Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada so today I'm baking a spice cake with AJ and getting ready to have Ham for supper. The boys Grandparents will be here next weekend so I'm saving my Turkey and fixing for their visit. The boys have been off school since Thursday and will be home Monday as well. We usually have our meal on Sunday dinners here so if we have guests they can us Monday for their clean up, travel or lazing around.

Yesterday we went out to meet up with some friends. They are visiting family in the province and seeing the East Coast for the first time. Last night we met in person for the first time. Allison and I have been emailing and chatting and talking on the phone for the last 8+yrs. We met online while expecting our 8yrolds. Yesterday those 8yrolds got to meet for the first time.

The funny part of the whole thing is the boys asked me how I knew Allison, and I said I met her on-line, and that's when the big eyes started staring me down with words like "Strangers, and internet, and careful", so I know they've been listening to me.


Happy Thanksgiving I'm so Thankful for Friends and even Computers! :) I'm also Thankful to Allison's family for hosting us and feeding us and our kids, it's so nice to meet new friends.

We got Mail!!! Thank you note!

I've been on the internet now since I met My Hubbie in 1992, and in the words of my new friend in a note I received yesterday "The world just keeps getting small" and you know she's so right. I've met some really nice people online. I love reading blogs, I love reading emails from real people. Yesterday I got some more Friendly internet interaction. I love replying to blogs, I love talking to you all. I love that you read my blog, cause really it's all about attention for me. But yesterday, some of that attention shifted to my AJ.

A bit back Headless Mom over at The Adventures of the Headlless Family Posted about her HBs being done with Pokemon cards. My boys are just getting into it. Funny how that works. I think both our boys are about 7ish?
The post by Headless Mom was here And being a good reader I replied, and learned a bit more about Pokemon.

Yesterday when Hubbie got home he had the mail pile, you know the "bills" I'd really wish Bill would change his address, I'm tired of cleaning up his dirty work. In the middle of the pile. I see a package! YAY! package. I had just been talking to Headless Mom the night before about the fact that it can take 2wks sometimes for mail to come from 7hours away, her mail was coming from the west Coast of the USA, we are patient. Also anticipation is part of the fun! really who doesn't love to get mail!!

So we gave AJ the envelope, and my batteries died on my camera! can you believe this? yep we have a Kodak that's about 3yrs old, it now will only recharge it's own batteries, it used to take disposables or other rechargeable, not now. (sorry Tangent.. there) He was so excited about what was in the package he ran from the Dinning room to the sofa to examine the cards. Do you know how many times a child of a mom from the 80s says "oh cool!!"? Many I lost count, he was so very excited. He then said "and there's a note for mom!" YAY I like getting mail too. Headless Mom wrote me a lovely note. I love making new friends. I had called her "friend" before, I call you all friends really, but this is icing on the cake.

The Best Part of all this? it arrives on Earth Day!!! I'm just so sorry that I didn't get to writing this post yesterday to post. This is our R! reducing landfills, yes the cards are paper and yes they will break down but before that ever happens, there's a chance for these cards to be "reused"!
Thanks for the Headless Mom and her Headless Boys, from me and my KyootBoy :)
