Smile Good Morning



good morning everyone. Sorry I didn't get back around here yesterday. I did get about an hour nap in and that was nice. As I was making dinner, dh said he wanted to make a wager, we have a dart board in our livingroom, for now, anyways, I picked the #20 and he said who ever gets 3 20's first wins and if he wins, I had to go to town to buy him a banana split, like that was a loss for me, but I din't tell him, and if I won I chose to go to Fashion Bug and buy a maternity outfit. He got 1 20 and then it was my go and I hit triple 20's, it's the little small red spot under that number. I couldn't believe it, I never play darts. So after dinner me and Ally went to town to Fashion Bug and I got a t-shirt, shorts and lounge pants. But I went to Braum's anyways, and got him a banana split. Nonetheless it was fun.

Michelle, Teagan looks like a pro at walking now.

Penny, have fun at church.

Spryng, sorry the memory isn't improving your computer.

Jill, love the hair. I like your style and the color. I've tried once to color my hair with thick blonde highlights when it was long and everyone loved it but dh so I had it changed back to stupid o' brown. I guess it will always be this way.

Deana, hope you like your new shower.

Okay, well today is my QOTD so here goes...QOTD: what is the first thing you do when you wake up, the very first?

Answer: turn on lamp and tv low to the news, start coffee and sit at the computer.

Today after lunch we'll be going to dh's grandparents to an early dinner and to celebrate two birthdays. I always enjoy doing this, except my poor kids get so bored, there's no kid stuff to do there. We're gonna sit outside, but there's no toys or anything.
I'm calling the bank Monday to tell them we have our closing $, so by Friday hopefully, we'll have a yes or no for sure. I'm dying to just have an answer and a direction.
I forgot to talk about my night, well Andrew woke up twice and I didn't go to bed until 1115, but the times I slept, I slept hard and well. So I'd say it was a good night. Could be better, but could be ALOT worse. How 'bout everyone else's?

Hello to everyone out there.

Crystal: I guess we posted at the same time.....lol. Hope you have a nice time at dh's grandparents' house today. Maybe you could have each of the kids pick something to take with them...crayon and coloring books, a game or something to keep them entertained. WTG on the darts and new clothes. I would have stopped for the banana split too....lol. Good luck with the bank. Sounds like you slept a little better last night.

QOTD: Directly to the bathroom.....unless I hit snooze a couple times first. Then I get dressed, make coffee and either watch news or get on here, depends on my mood that morning or if I have something to look up.

Smile Hey girls!

We went to MIL's house in AL yesterday, which may not have been the best plan, because Christian is not feeling as well today as he has been So another week of church missed!!!

I am down a couple of pounds when I sneaked a peak on the scale, which has upped my motivation to continue greatly. I really think that Nuvaring caused my quick weight gain and it's finally starting to get back to normal. I get soo bummed when I think about where I could be if I hadn't gotten so off track these past couple of months...but it's onward from here. I know I can do this, I did it before.

Today I will drink LOTS of water! I am having cereal for breakfast, veggies for lunch and a good homecooked meal for dinner...looking through my cookbook to prepare my menu now!

Jill...your hair is great! Mine is in need of something, but not sure what.

Chris...Hope the meds didn't make you feel too badly.

Spryng...What on earth will you do with DH home all the time...will we ever see you???

Leigh...we miss you!

Deana...you just have a small portion of what you really like, even just a spoonful of something good. Reunions don't come often! Don't forget the water and I think you will do fine. You'll catch back up during the week.

Crystal...congrats on the new outfit...I went looking, but decided it would be a reward for getting these extra few pounds off and will NOT buy anything til I am the next size down. That's motivating!

Penny...sounds like that party was a bigger smash than you anticipated!

I am menu planning and grocery planning right now. So I'll be back when that's all done. We are doing a family cleaning house extravaganza today! It's also our 12th anniversary, so I think the boys should do most of the work here today!

Good morning!
I tried to post earlier.....typical me, the post got lost. Just thought I would stop in and say hello and see how everyone is doing.
Jill- I love your hair~ wish I had the nerve to do something like that.
Geri!!!!!! Happy birthday girl!!!!!! Hope they do something at TOPS for you tomorrow nite.
Deanna- drink that water! It helps so much. Good luck staying OP today.
Penny- hopefully you were more organised about getting to church than I was today.
Oh, I got there.....just sort of disheveled. (maybe going to the early service did me in!)
Bigtime loser- sorry you have a sick little one. Bummer that you cannot get to church this week. But congtats on the weight loss!

Just more busyness here......Spent most of yesterday either at Ds's baseball game or at a farm tour (open house) with Dd. But it was fun. Today I am off to visit my Dm and see how she is feeling.
Hi to everyone else. Take care!
Ginny

Morning gals! Here we go with another day. My kids are all busy. Their cousin spent the night last night. I walked around for 3 hours yesterday with the kids at the PTA thing, then went to my daughter's baptism. After going to church for years, I finally accepted God last night at church. My daughter's baptism was the inspiration I needed. I got to kick my feet up after 9 after looking for a lost library book with no success. I did manage to trick my niece and my girls into cleaning Kayla's bedroom. That bugger is spotless now.
We watched Mystic River. Can't say it will be my favorite movie of all time but it definitely was good. The plan for today is to get some stuff done...lots of stuff. Clean, clean, and clean. Tiana's hair. Maybe actually have dinner going before my husband gets home from work. I am giving up the search for the library book though. Its hopeless. I'll just have to pay for it.
Gotta go. TTFN

Hey ladies,

I only have a minute because dinner just doesn't cook by itself. I'm going to impress my DH by not burning it. Oh yeah baby! I have notoriously bad cooking skills. He says I have two phases to my cooking-raw and burnt. Or his other all time favorite thing to say is "Honey, just put it on, turn the burner to high, and walk away." Maybe I need a cooking class.

I posted Tiana's highlights on the MSN site because my file was too large for here and I have no idea how to make the file smaller. (I'm computer challenged too). My sister had a bit too much fun. She did our niece Savanna, my little Kayla, and her daughter Samantha. I'm laughing because she's worried about what her husband is going to say when he sees Sam's hair. She has the thickest black hair you have ever seen and now it has copper highlights in it. She looks like a little eskimo girl. I'll have to get a pic of her.

Anyhow best go...I feel an urge to play Mario's World coming on. Must cure it while Nicole is taking her nap. Peaceful time to play. TTFN.

Good evening gals!

Th efamily reunion was nice. Too many people I don't know. Some I remembered from 2 years ago but not many. We stayed behind to help clean up because Scott's mom and dad set it all up and almost everyone else left quickly.

I guess I can say I was good today. I ate mostly meat and vegetables, drank my water and stayed away from the dessert table until it was time to leave. Scott's aunt made a Rasberry-Rhubarb pie with Splenda so I brought a piece home. Still haven't eaten it yet, saving it for later or breakfast tomorrow with coffee. I did try a bite to make sure I liked it and it's pretty good. I hadn't had rhubarb since I was a kid and couldn't remember what it tasted like. I still need to drink about 20 oz but I will get it down. I had to rough estimate my calories and then went a little high so I hope I didn't go over today. Cindi, thank you for the words of encouragement. My WI is Tuesday morning so I don't want to screw it up now. I snuck a peak this morning and I was down 3 pounds from last Tues, so hopefully........

Kristin: Sorry dh has to leave.....how long will he be gone this time? Hope Syd has a good birthday. WTG on the camera and microphone. I have a refurbished Kodak Easyshare LS443. I got it on ebay. It came with the camera, docking station, camera case, tv cord (to look at pics and watch videos on the tv) and a tripod for just under $300. Then I bought a 256mb memory card form another place online for about $60. I have had it since Feb and today at teh reunion was the first time I have had any trouble with it. We took some family pictures and they didn't show. Not sure what's wrong with it, hoping it was just the battery low. It's charging now, so I'll check it later.

Penny & Crystal: I was as good as I could be today. I got in almost all my water.

Michelle: How's the water going? Are you working again tonight? We miss you!!!

Ginny: Thank you for the encouragement. I did my best with all that yummy food around me. And I drank my water.

Well, the "friend" showed up yesterday right before we left to go get shower parts. I let her hang out on the puter while we were gone and for about an hour after we got back but we were busy tearing out the wall so I didn't deal with her much. She came to the reunion today with my bil, but we didn't talk much. Everyone was watching the Chiefs game. She is gonna be here tomorrow morning to sit with dd while we run for more parts, then we'll be busy puttin gthings back together before dh has to go to bed because he has to work tomorrow night. She is leaving Wed. so maybe it will be a while before she gets back here. Oh well, enough about that.

Dd is hungry so I better go feed her. I need to check on a few things anyway.
