Hi friends
Jillian.......I totally agree with you......Elliot is adorable......Ellie....not so much. I have found that people call my kids what I call them. Noone calls my Bethany Beth........for short sometimes it is Bethy........but mostly Bethany. My Natalie is Natalie.......not Nat....and my Andrew is Andrew.....not Andy or Drew. We intended on calling him Drew......I do love that name......but it just didn't feel right. So......we'll see, maybe when he is older we'll call him Drew......but everyone calls him Andrew. I think you will know when you see her what to call her. Either that, or when you are in labor, you can tell DH what you have chosen.......I cann promise you, he won't argue with you during a contraction.........

Barbara, Barbara, Barbara..........I would just hate it if one of my beautiful DD's pierced their nose. Is it under her nose, on her septum or on top to one side? I kind of think the top one, if it is a tiny diamond spec, can be kinda cute, but I am thinking that is not what she has if it is an actual ring. I am not completely against piercings.......I just am not particularily fond of those in the face. In any case, I think you are doing the right thing by not over reacting. Let me know how it goes when you see her.
Mommyof6......sorry, I forgot your name as I have been kind of scarce on here.........WTG on your first 6 lbs. After a big loss, there is almost always a losing break or smal loss. Just try try try to keep in mind that a downward trend is what gets people to their goals.......not huge losses each week. Your body needs time to make adjustments, and it is, and you are doing so well. Keep it up girlie
JerseyAmy......what kind of car are you getting? How exciting.
Kimberly.....I have thought of doing a LAWL WW combo. It would be like having the structure of LAWL to get all the food groups in, with bonus options for hard days. Not a bad idea at all. It could kind of be like lifelines on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Katie.......how was T.O. I am super ready for MOnday. I would just start today, but I have to bake for the dentist.....and my parrents are coming on Friday morning....and I have been so bad, I just don't think I can do it until they are gone and I banish my home of goodies. I am super proud of you, and excited for your expo in May. Somehow, just getting back to taking care of yourself is all you need to keep that positivity flowing and step up to new challlenges....no matter what the sclae says. You can do this....and it is going to feel so good in a week or two

So, you may ask, why I am baking for the dentist......well, yesterday, I took Bethany (13 yo DD) to the dentist to get the gap between her front teeeth filled. For years, we have been told she needed braces to fix it.......and then we find this wonderful new dentist who says her teeth are super straight, her bite is good, and she does NOT need braces after all......that he can add a small amount of bonding material between those teeth and mmake her smile even more perfect than it already is (his words). So, we go yesterday.........and it turned out gorgeous........andhe says, "hey Bethany, when is your birthday?" And she tells him in July, and he says, "Well, Happy Birthday," I was bit puzzled for a few......and we thanked him......and I asked the dental assistant if I needed her chart to check out, and she replied, "You don't have to check out.....this was a gift to Bethany from the dentist.....there will be no charge." I started crying. I hate that. Anyway, we located the dentist and thanked him properly when I realized what he meant. I then asked the assistant if he liked cookies, and she said, "OH YEAH........we all do....we are all pigs." I can't think of anything else I can do for them......except bake some coookies or bars or bread or something. I just want them to realize what a gift they really gave us. Her work was all cosmetic, but we couldnt' let her hate her smile any lobnger......and we really should not have spent the $$$ on such a procedure when there are so many expenses and DH just got a 10% pay cut (thank you recession)........but in any case, it was such a nice thing for him to do. It made me smile all day
Ok, have to run.....I have spent way too much time on the computer already. I have so much catch up work to do with the hospital last week and remodellig this week. I am sure I will be back later when I ought to be working
XOXO
