Thanks, No I didn't get a flu shot. I have a cold&cough, and since I have asthma, it hangs on long time. Going to the Dr. tomorrow. Hopefully will be better by Sunday so I can go to my Church's Christmas program. Then on the 18th my sailor comes home!

I have my Christian Singles party on Saturday, then going to a M4Ms party on Sunday. If you live in the Sacramento, CA area; check out the Northern California group for the info on the Dec. 6th M&G, and join us!

I was motivated to loose weight for my 30th High School reunion earlier this year. I made a decision to not diet but to eat healthy. I had too much up and downs going on and off diets. I am still eating healthy and I go to the gym to workout. I like to take classes, working out with other women motivates me, too. I take Zumba classes and I also step-aerobics, abs class and stretching. I won't exercise unless it is fun! I like to dance so Zumba is fun!

Hi Scutlebutts,
Yes, I have had my grandson with since wednesday evening, I have to take him back to his father's this afternoon. They are still arguing over him. Chrissy is hoping to get him back after she finishes A school. She is staying in GL for Thanksgiving, she coming back to CA Dec.18th for Christmas leave. I will picking my grandson son up and meeting her a the airport! Chrissy loves to cook, so she will be helping me cook Christmas goodies. She likes my pumpkin walnut pie, so I will make that. And she like my Vienna bars and I told her I would give her the recipe so she can make those!
Just hope I can control my eating and not gain any weight! I lost 26 lbs and I don't want to gain it back!!!

Hi Sharon,
I am never to busy to chat on N4Ms. My Chrissy will be in GL for Thanksgiving. But she will be coming home for Christmas. As she is in A school, everyone gets leave.
She misses her son very much and we counting down the days.

Good morning,
I am taking my teenage daughter to a friends house, she will be spending the night there. Then going for a walk with a male friend. Come home and pass out candy to trick or treaters. I couldn't find anyone who wants to go out dancing, so will stay in. Not too exciting. I am single and not dating anyone right now. I do have a special friend, but that relationship is complicated and I won't be seeing him tonight. I went by his office Thursday and left him some pumpkin muffins. Mostly just counting down the days until Chrissy can come home for Christmas leave. ~ Vicky

Hi Sharon, we all have wrinkles! Comes with the Mom job. Lol
Plenty of opportunities to go to the Dark side this weekend, as it is Halloween! Lol
I am having fun just laughing with all the N4Ms today. Over on the AEFG group I posted that my Chrissy is in A school, then will go to C School and E school. They all asked me what E school is? I had to answer : Idk. I am just the Mom! Lol
Why do our Navy kids talk in intials? It drives me nuts!! I think need some of that wine now, thanks.
