Firm For Life

Stacey · 08-27-2003, 10:35 AM

Hardasnails~ thanks honey!!!! I really appreciate it.. I should say though that I am a very picky eater when it comes to veggies and the oils.

HOWEVER, I am willing to try them all again and I am willing to do what needs to be done!!

I HATE SPINACH Though-sorry- no can do!!!!
Green beans, broccolli, ranchstyle beans, peas, anytype of lettuce, corn, and thats about it. But I always have my greenbeans because (and they are salt free) thats the best on my list.

Oils- yuck. The main fat I like and can tolerate is honey mustard, penut butter and ANY Nut. I can not stand Dressings, or Any oil..but like I said.. I am going to try the safflower oil.

My deli meat is not processed. I buy it from the meat guy- he takes it out of the cooler, and cuts it right there in front of me..and I always buy the 99% fat free/no salt

hardasnails1973 · 08-27-2003, 10:39 AM

for a nice salad dressing
3 TBSP safflower oil , some vinegar and some italian season dresssing from pack and that should be good to go

Stacey · 08-27-2003, 10:40 AM

OHOHOHOH I Have started to like that Italian dressing!!!

there we go..
but what about full fat honeymustard????

naturaltan · 08-27-2003, 10:52 AM

Stacey · 08-27-2003, 11:01 AM

Morning NT!!! WOW your weekend sounds like a BLAST!!!!
How old is your little sweetie going to be??

I LOVE BUILD A BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to one in Galveston a month ago with My mom and I build the cutest one ( I Collect bears- since I was little) - I made an Angel

& My sister made me a "Bride" for Christmas right before we got married!!

You guys are going to have a BLAST!!!

Have a wonderful day sweetie. I'M so Happy that things are better for you!!

naturaltan · 08-27-2003, 11:17 AM

little miss NT is going to be 10 ...
We've been married for 11 years ...

I'll take pictures of the bears that we build along with the others we built, the whole family of bears.

little miss NT and her mom have more bears than I care to count. We have boxes and boxes of them. I think when we build our house, we're going to have to add an extra room just for the bears.

Stacey · 08-27-2003, 01:34 PM

oh-- thank you Hardasnails!!!

WoW Nt- 11 years! Thats awesome! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

aww 10 years old..how cute!

Thats hilarious on how many bears you guys have! I know Matt just can't believe how many I have. I think I am going to display them in my guest room..but not sure yet?~
Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

hikerchick · 08-27-2003, 02:30 PM

That is cute about the bears, you guys. I can't wait to take my daughter there for her first one.

When do you think they would enjoy that? I am a new Mom so not sure...

We did our first ones in Disneyland! It was such a great time. She was 9 when we took our daughter.

At what aage would they enjoy Build a Bear ... I think maybe even older than 3/4 .... maybe 6 ... and I only say that because then they would understand what is happening.

HC ... you'll have a ball, it's really a lot of fun. Especially for the dads/boyfriends that you see in there. The bears the guys make all have a very macho theme to them.

My first one was a biker ... leather jacket, leather pants, boots and sunglasses. If I can find the leather outfits, I might make a biker gal for him.

butterfly · 08-27-2003, 05:39 PM

I took my neices (6&7) and step-son (8) a few weeks ago to build-a-bear... they had a blast!!! You'll be surprised at how much it costs though, you think $20 or so for the bear, $5 here for a shirt, $10 there for pants, $12 for shoes, etc...

naturaltan · 08-27-2003, 05:42 PM

How true that is! We're taking 3 friends and Jacquelyn and we're putting in $20 for each child ... then we told the parents that if they wanted clothes or other items, they'd have to send money with their children. Jacquelyn has been doing odd jobs around the house and at her 'work' to save for extra clothes.

In Disney, I'm sure we spent more than $150 between the 3 of us ... and that's american.

hikerchick · 08-27-2003, 07:09 PM

Wow! Those bears can get pricey! How cute though, I can't wait to take Riley. It will be awhile, she's only 10 months. I might have to go there for me though.

I can just imagine the biker bear, that must be so cute - ahem, um, I mean MACHO!!

Going there for you isn't really such a funny idea. I've seen more teens/adults in there than I do kids.
