My DH can't wait until the holiday weekend is over before giving me the lecture on how to lose weight. I always feel so ashamed of myself; it doesn't help to hear it (esp right after a breakfast of waffles).

Morning all! My brother is driving in today. We're expecting snow but south of us they are expecting more. I hope he has safe travels.

Mom got her feelings hurt this morning. She wakes up early and we don't. We get up around 9am, she gets up around 7am. She makes a lot of noise. I asked her this morning to be a little more quiet while we're sleeping. Well, every morning she watches the news with us and this morning she didn't. I asked her if she was coming in and she said no she was watching the snow. So, she's pouting. I need to be a little stronger and not fall for that. I didn't this morning because I don't think it's unreasonable to ask her to be a little more quiet. We'll see how this day goes. haha

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Once he shares the secret with you would you mind passing it along to me?

Want us to come over and bury him in the snow? I hear it's good for losing weight.

Morning all (I can say that just in the nick of time, lol!)

Kitties woke me up this morn. I'm up to 400 on the gabapentin at night, and it knocks me out! I didn't want to wake up this morn, but they had other ideas.

So trying my best to keep going even though I'm still a little out of it. Might do some necessary chores later that are screaming my name, lol!

Take care everyone!

Good Morning! Don't think I'm a scrooge but I took my tree down this morning! I had the energy and was tired of having to constantly get Tigger unstuck from the middle branches! I can't believe he didn't tip it over but he didn't.

We still have lots of leftovers from our Christmas dinner we had yesterday. I need to find some good recipes for leftover turkey.

It's a beautiful, sunny day here today but still pretty chilly. I know it's nothing compared to what you in the North have been dealing with, though. At least ya'll are used to the stuff and can still drive and get around. Here we're stranded if so much as an inch of snow falls. You'd laugh at how excited the weather forecasters get. Breaking into regular programming with their "live on the scene" reports of the flurries!

Sandy, sorry Mom is being extra-sensitive. It's hard to adjust to that when you've been used to having your house all to yourselves for so long. She'll come around. I get aggravated at DS22 sometimes when he makes too much racket in the mornings and I'm still trying to sleep. I just want to stick my head out my door and say "doors don't have to be slammed, ya know!". He's really not slamming them but when you're trying to sleep even a door closing is loud!

Well, I thought it was Sunday all day yesterday so I'm glad it finally is Sunday today!

Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for the prayers for a safe trip. I ended driving straight through to Ohio last week in order to miss the snow. It took me 9 1/2 hours to get here, and about two days to recover. I was planning on leaving for Illinois tomorrow. But once again, we are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow. I think it is already snowing in Illinois and Indiana. I am so tired of this weather!!!

I hope you all had a nice Christmas. I skimmed over all ot the posts I missed.

Kelly, I am sorry to hear about the ON. Hope you recover soon.

Sandy, My mother is driving me crazy. I am sure I am driving her crazy too. Being in a two beroom apt with her for 10 days has been extremely trying. I think you are a saint.

I am at my sister's right now using her computer, but I plan on heading back to my mom's soon.

Hopefully, I will be home (illinois) before New Year's Eve. Wish me luck!

Hi Barb! We've missed you! Please drive carefully in all this snow and ice.

We had a talk and all is OK for now. She forgets that it's not only her life that has been affected. I think she gets it for now. We all have to coexist and we'll get it together soon. hahaha

Oh and I lubed the doors so they don't squeek like the Munster house anymore.
