I just hope it's not groundhog day (like the movie)- can't handle a repeat of yesterday. I'm starting to get a little nervous abt the workshop I'm hosting next week.... I feel the time creeping in on me now and little last minute things are piling up. So much to do now & time is running low! Happy Friday everyone. This too, shall pass.
Noura

Time is creeping on you, it vanished on me...lol Good luck Noura, and thanks again for everything.

TGIF indeed!! I've had just about all of this week I can take.

Why does the year go by so fast BUT when you're waiting on a specific date the days just creep by

ETA: Does anyone have any non-fast-breaking methods of curing the hiccups?????

yes, put the middle of your tongue up to the roof of your mouth REALLY tight and hold it there for 10 seconds.....at least thats what they tell me lol

Thanks! Hey I think it worked!!! I'll let you know in a few minutes!

BTW... what does that quote have to do with it?

Hey, VP, what was the name of your elementary school gym teacher?

I don't remember elementary school... why?

Are your hiccups gone?

Yes, I haven't had one since I tried Amal's method alhamdulilah!

seems like i missed all the fun yesterday - two threads with verbal fencing going on

well hello everyone. honestly i am quite glad that i alway miss out on the sword fighting around here...............goodness.

have a great weekend everyone

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm here, sippin' my coffee and feelin' good.

Sooo glad it's Friday but kinda bummed 'cause we have "casual Friday" here but because I have a formal meeting with a higher up I had to come in a suit today. Oh well if that's the worst that happens I'll be fine. Dreary out here and I woke up 15 minutes late too. Wicked good day to stay in bed and just watch movies on Lifetime all day long.

Hope we have a peaceful happy loving day here on VJ!

Hmmm, what can I say to create drama in the Friday thread...think! think!

I know!

YOUR MOTHER WEARS ARMY BOOTS!

Let the mud-slinging begin...

or how about making this into a poll?
which has more hair?
the back of charles?
_______ legs (fill in the blank)

At least my mother has boots

Good Friday morning everyone! Woke up in a wonderful mood! Had a wonderful evening with the husband. After he woke up from his nap, I had all the dishes finished and he made the break fast meal, and he cleaned up everything. He decided that last night we would do what I wanted to do since I came home to do all the dishes and let him sleep and he felt bad. (Btw, I didn't say anything.) So we ordered Papa John's pizza and watched a "scary" movie at home. All in all, it was a very wonderful evening. Oh and we went to the ice cream shop and ordered my pumpkin icecream cake for my birthday! Yay! We're going to have a birthday dinner the 29th. I am super excited!

Today I am working until 6 and I am going to be going to see a movie with a good friend. Tomorrow bright and early at 9, the plumber is coming to fix our shower, and I have no plans for the rest of the day except to spend some time with my husband. Don't know exactly what I am doing on Sunday, but I am sure it will be fun.

Just wanted to say that I am sorry that I apparently said to much yesterday. I didn't mean for everyone to start growling at eachother. Thanks to those looking out for me. From now on if I need to express something that might be too much, I will express it in a PM to a good friend. Sorry again and I hope you all have a good day and a great weekend!

Oh yeah? Well, well, I'd rather have no boots than filthy, smelly, army boots.

Oh pumpkin ice cream...I've never had that sounds yummie!!! I have been having something called "pumpkin fluff" at night. It's a weight watcher's recipe and it goes like this:

one pkg ff sugarfree butterscotch pudding mix
one pkg ff sugarfree vanilla pudding mix
2 cups 1% milk
1 can pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin spice (or mix cinnamon and nutmeg if you don't have pumpkin spice)

mix the butterscotch and vanilla pudding mix with the milk until it forms the pudding. Then mix in the can of pumpkin. Then add the pumpkin spice and refridgerate for about an hour. Add a dollop of whipped cream and mange!!!

oops..forgot to add that it's only 1 pt per serving.

Oh this sounds good! How big are the servings? What size can of pumpkin? Small or big box of pudding? Not sure what mange is either.

She means, "Mangia!" (Italian for EAT!)

ok gotcha! I was a little scared it was mange like an animal can get.

I would not suggest putting mange mites in your pumpkin ice cream. Hehe.

Janine, this forum used to be about supporting each other through good and bad. It was always my understanding since I joined that venting was perfectly A-OK. If this has officially changed I hope someone speaks up!

As for the growlers... they are constantly looking for something to growl about and you can't please everyone, so don't waste much energy worrying about it.

Glad to hear you had a great evening.

Serves 5 so just eyeball the serving size by dividing it by 5, though to be honest I just take a huge glob of it since it's only 1 point per serving. I've only seen one size of pumpkin cans so I dunno...maybe it's like 15 oz or something? Looks like it's about 1 1/2 cups? As for the pudding, I use the individual Jello Pudding packages.

mange = eat up !! lol

I used to think there was only one size of pumpkin, til I went to this store and found three different sizes! I was amazed! No more having to buy a big can when I only needed one cup! That's why I was asking. Thanks! I can't wait to try it.

been on WW for ages.

I can CERTIFY that this is AWESOME. if you like pumpkin pie, you'll LOVE this. I sometimes save my points and will use nilla wafers with it as "crust"

It's SOOOO GOOOD

Where is the outrage??!?!?!

i'm outraged that you bump your own reply!

Why am I feeling so restless today?

I'm outraged at your avatar.


I know why I am... can't speak for you.

let's start a poll!


i'm offended that you are!

And I'm offended that you're offended that I'm offended

No she doesn't!!!! She wears Stilletos!

as in this?

Isn't that your mom?

unlikely, as she passed away dec 04

Happy Friday!

I'm going to see Bob Dylan and the Kings of Leon tonight... can't wait!

See you guys on the flipside!

I saw Dylan a few years back. Totally awesome. Have fun.

I hate when the Thursday thread is above the Friday one!

I'm so po'd. I called ups today 'cause Dell said my new laptop was being delivered. They said to expect it between 2:30 and 3:30 (which suprised me since they never give a window that close). Well I had my daughter go straight home and wait for it. She saw the truck pull up to the house. Saw the guy go across the street with my Dell laptop and then saw him drive off.

Now I have to wait for them to call me back so that I can beg them to make a special trip and hopefull they will get it right this time. Otherwise I have to wait until Monday and drive 5 towns over to pick it up. I hate UPS. I really really do.

Same here, since I lost all my marbles I have been pretty darn confused.

Don't be sorry Janine, we're just looking out for ya!

Bump.... to appease Jenn's outrage

Bump to put Friday back in its place

yeah, sorry about that...i was going to comment on that quote but didn't have time to ..had to run out the door at the last second.....maybe i'll comment on the whole X-mas thing later.....

Wednesday's thread is giving you some serious competition

Woohoo girls party time! I received an email from the consulate with the interview date for (you were right Sarah!!) Nov 16th!! MK: get your ink ready!!
Great start of the weekend for me. Looking for tickets now!!
