~~30-Something's Week of Oct 8th thread~~
 

Well, I looked and didn't see the thread anywhere so here it is. If I have duplicated it, Lauren go ahead and delete it.
I've been busy and catching up is gonna be a challenge. Just being DS#1 taxi's is taking up alot of time!! Today I get to do all the laundry. DH has been relatively useless all weekend as he had a hard week and would appreciate being able to sleep and watch TiVo all weekend. Arg! When can I just take the weekend off? Buttface. The Baby fell asleep in our room last night and I asked him to turn off the TV (lil feller has been a BEAR!) so he woulsd Stay asleep and you'd have thought I b!tch slapped his Mama. Just go watch it in the living room and shut your pie hole Sparky! Sometimes he simply doesn't understand the inconviences and sacrifices a FATHER has to make. He was a bachlor WAY to long. I try to be understanding but he's just plain immature at times. ANYWAYS.....
Went to the Duck's opening game on Fri. Interesting. Hockey pretty ok to watch. ( I'm not a sports fan) We had to leave early to catch a friends band. They opened for a Led Zeplin tribute...OMG! TAlk about freekin' AWESOME musicans! They where collectively 400 years old but unbelievable!! That drummer had everything John Bonham had. I just stood there with my mouth open. My cousin came down to spend the day and have dinner on Sat. I made my FAmous (yeah uh huh.) Steak, bone in NY. Yumm... But the diet went to **** all of Sat. Oh well. Diggin' my exercise again so hopefully I will be successful at maintaining.

Fit~ I can see all of your pics...Your one hot lil project! DS is VERY VERY tall!! Mine DS is but a mere 5'6" and 150lbs. Erie how much the boys look alike. I really thought it was the same kid! Cute lil fellers. Your arms are just fine , you silly rabbit.
KAren~ What a punkin! You do what ever she says!!:D
Jessamy and Christi~ 12's? Its offical..I hate you both.:devil: I WANNA BE A `12!!! Seriously...WTG I luv you....mean it.
lAuren~ If I could just remember...Hmm....Musta been a lie.
Where's the Mel~ster!!!?? Shout out to ya!!
Holy~ I say, when the hag gets back with her Dr. note, you take it and cram it down her throat right after you've gouged her eyes out....Too much?:devil:
Malificent is near completion...I'll post when she's done.
Smooooches.

Hello! Busy weekend here. :wave:

Hello all! Sorry I have been keeping up on the posts (for the most part) but haven't posted myself. Work has been okay, my division moved from one area over to the other side of the building this weekend. I had to go in and set up my desk, of course the computer guy hadn't set them up yet, so who knows what my desk will look like in the morning.

I havent really monitored myself and have been feeling terribly sluggish, of course the weather changing like it has here has done havic with my sinuses. (High 70's one day, low 50's next) Molly how are you doing with that.

Anyways, thought I would say hi, welcome to the newbies! Off to take some Tylenol Sinus and nock myself out.

Lisa

Hello all....Had a great weekend..We have all kinds of festivals going on and the weather is soo great to hit them all..We Saw the Imagination movers yesterday at the Heritage festival out of New Orleans..They were great and my little groupie enjoyed them!!!

Ok..lost that ole 1 pound gained on vacation!!!!
Off to bathe...and just vegetate awhile....Busy weekend and K had no nap!!!!

RR

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! DD has today off for Discovery Day so I am hanging low with her and doin laundry (how do 3 of us make 5 loads in a week! not including towels and sheets!) Had a date with DH last night and sawThe Departed (I wouldnt kick Leonardo outta bed for eating crackers for sure!) and eat mexican. Blew eating plan yesterday but not constipated anymore! Beans and spice! WOW! TMI, sorry! lolol

Just made up a salald with all leftover veggies in drawer and beans for lunch. I REALLY need stuff like that around or lunch gets blown!

Took a long walk with DD on Sat. Gorgeous weather around here lately. Leaves are gorgeous erds and oranges and air is earthy and warm. I love NH fall! I will takes some pix today and post for all you southern gals!

Later!

Now I remember why I love you guys. Walking was the farthest thing from my mind, but after reading everyones post, I'm fixing go for it. First I'm gonna log on my desk top, and uploas the pics I was talking about last week.

The house is a wreck from the weekend (as alway) so I've gotta lot of worke to do today. (Laundry, Dishes, mop, clean bathroom, etc etc) Oh the joy!! :0)

Oh yeah, I was up a lb @ wi. I will have to hit it hard this week. I did terrible this week end. Had double cheese burgers twice. Cheederwurst W/ mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. Brownies (made weigh watchers way, but still) A ton of pop corn, dark chocolat. One morning I ate my weight in cinnamin toast. Ovay, Its even worst then I realized!! Yep, I am definantly gonna thake that wallk

Stevi: Over the weekend, I sketched out a My little pony scene. I am having a blast with it. I am VERY pleased with the sketch!! I just hope I don't screw it up with the paint. It on a white piece of cardboard now, and if it turns out good I'll do another on canvas. I bought me some brushes from hobby lobby. They were $12 for a set of 5 (I think) So I know they aren't top of the line, but I think they are purty nice. BTW what kind of brushes do you use, and what kind of paint. I am a little concerned with being able to reproduce these at such a large scale. (I already told the pastors wife I will do the nursery, and sunday school room when I practice some more) Will it be cheating if I use a projector?

Lauren: :wave: & Lisa. holy and KarenK Did I tell you my moms name is Karen Kay?

FIona: Glad to have you :welcome:

Squishy: Speaking of TMI. My Mother said she heard or read somewhere that you can take fiber once and start to get dependent on it. I totally believe it!! I started taking fiber, and now well, you can figure out the rest. It so not cool, I wonder if I should not take it anymore, or start taking it more often.

RR AWWWWW

Morning ladies
My birthday was sat and i had a wonderful one
and yes i got it done LOL
i'll check in later
Holy~ what day ?

Good morning.
Just as soon as I dropped off DS#1 I had to turn around and pick him up. He re-sprained his knee. I asked why did you run on it? He answered " I didn't want to deal with coaches attitude" What the **** is that? He had a DR. note and still gets trated like he's doin' something wrong? Me and ol' Coach boy are gonna have a chat. DH ran out the house last might like his undies where a blaze. Apparently a customer/thief got killed at the riverside store. Yes I said KILLED. The purp ran out of the store with a pressure washer under his arm and was chased (a NO nO) by an associate. Then the guy made it to his car but unfortunately for him the police where there arresting another shop lifter and set out after him, around the back of the store(in his car) the guy pulled a freekin' shotgun and the police shot him dead. DH is the corporation representative for this and had to book it over there to do damage control (mostly legal and media).
Question!!! Anybody else experience excessive hair loss while deiting?? It only happens when I'm no longer ON the diet. Usually weeks after. I'm getting a full brush full after every showner. At this rate I'm gonna be a cue ball in a month.

Christi~ 1st of all, not to make you feel like crap, but if I ate like that I'd weigh 300lbs in no time!! Geez girl! Double cheese burgers! I can't even remeber the last time I had fast food much less a cheese burger....( I know.. don't hate :)) Nearly all professional artist use either a grid (boxes or dots) or a projector. How you think Dora looks so dead on for being so big? Its impossible to get perfect perportion on something so large....unless you are Monet or have 10 foot arms. Of which I am/have neither. Do whatever it takes to make it look awesome.
Squishy~ Yeah...what she said! No more fiber pills for me. I get PLENTY from my food choices. I have a seriously slow bowel (TAlk about TMI) and look for high fiber all the time. I also keeps you fuller longer.
RR~ Cutie Pa Tutie! Isn't that the same guy in the last imagin..whatever movers pics??
Lisa~ Its always nice to see ya. Sorry about your sinuses!
Goddess~:getwell: :rofl:

SOrry so big, If it wasn't such a pain in the butt to upload them, I'd resize them. This is behind my house, past the back yard. This is where I walk. (This is not my back yard.) This first pick is the path we mowed, it runs all around. it in a complete circle

Stevi: Your hair is coming out (probably) because of your pregnancy. Mine did the same the year after. It will stop eventually.

And about the painting, I had wondered about that Whewwww, I feel better now ;)

WOW, It sounds like your DH had an exciting night!!

I Only got about 20mins in today. Bethany said "Mommy lets go in our house" Plus, the morgage broker called, and needs me to fax some things to her, so my heart wasnt in it. Maybe later

Yep Stevie--Same guy..There are 4 total + the drummer but "Smitty" in the cowboy hat is her favorite!!! Hope DS is better..and the "drama" is better with DH...What a mess....
WannaB--Cute pics!! She is pretty....

Ok..hello all..DH is heading out ref'ing tonight and I have to get the baths done....
Take it easy everyone!
RR

Candy corn was calling me today. Luckily KMart didnt have any or I would have eaten a bag full. Just put me in a coma until January please!

Ahhh, candy corn. I am soooo wanting to eat sugar right now. Where is everyone?

had to work today, like every day, then gotta take the dog for a walk, do my own walking time, eat dinner, and work on projects.

Morning ladies!

I see it has been busy here! We had a nice weekend, busy, but nice. Saturday, as you know was our last soccer games and ****Yeah***** Both my boys teams won their games. They were so excited! My little 1st graders won 11-1! The first time they played that team we lost like 6 or 8-1 something like that, so it was really exciting to see just how much my little team had learned.

Sat night was the b-day party/sleepover for kids, so DH and I went out to dinner, socialized a little but were home by 10 for some quality alone time....it was so nice to go out (we rarely do that!) but much nicer to have the time together at home.

Worked on the tree mess in the side yard sunday, it is coming along, but boy it sure is alot like hard work cleaning that mess up. Good exercise though.

Well, I have to run. Our bank has merged with another and now I need to get all of my account numbers changed on the auto payments that I had set up.
Chat again soon
Take care
Darcy

Ok, I am pissed! I said I would not weigh myself but every week and guess what? I gained 4 lbs! AAAAAAAAHHHHGGGG! I am so mad. Yes, I left the Beach to some extent. I had house guests, a date, blahblah excuse excuse but 4 lbs! I wonder if it is just the water in the glycogen stores!? I dont know but I am discouraged. I am sick of limiting all the time and wanting to eat so BAD but not. I sometimes just want to say to **** with it all and be fat and happy. crycrycry. Gimme a bag of candy corn! Good thing i live 12 miles from a grocery store right now.

I walked DD to bus stop today and felt my little belly flopping around in my sweats so I know it isnt just water!

:o :( :o :( :devil: :o :( :devil:

Squishy:
#1: STOP THE INSANITY!! stop beating up on yourself :)
#2: Today is a new day, just start over...I know it can be frustrating, believe me I spent a while being 27 lbs away from my goal weight and plateaud. I ate and ate and ate things I wasn't supposed to eat. When I finally decided to get healthy again, I changed my plan, and finally got focused.

I wish i could get it together with my job that way...but unlike my job, I can control what I eat, and if like last night I have a bad day, I just crawl back up on the horse and keep goin..

You are right Holy- I just committed to log my foods again and keep myself honest that way. I also have to keep in mind how great I felt the other day in my pants that havent fit FOREVER and how good I felt out with DH all dressed up and looking good.

BIG SIGH! I am getting on the horse again now!

THANKS!:hug:

Squishy ~ You're in good company, girl....I gained two pounds! I've not been able to go to the gym due to a foot injury. YUK! I think some might be from "before TOM bloating", but still! :mad: Either way--we'll make it through this together, right?

Nail lady ~ Isn't it interesting that while you LOVE you kids to be active and involved, that you're so relieved when it's over? haha....I definitely feel the same way!

Mamabear ~ Sorry you're feeling so badly. This time of year is the pits when it comes to allergies! I feel ya. Also --- are you going to post the 2 yr pic? I'd LOVE to see it!!

Wannabe ~ I LOVE THE PICTURES! They are priceless! What a cutie! You're very blessed.......... DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS? Yum...........haven't had one of those in years!

Stevi ~ My goodness! What drama! I hope everything worked out okay for DH....... Sorry DS sprained his knee AGAIN! Ugh....I completely understand, though. He's at such a pivotal age that he doesn't want his coach/buddies to see him as weak (puke!), so he pretends he's okay. Really stupid. I can see my son(s) doing the same thing. Doesn't make sense, does it? By the way, about 6 months or so after I had each of my kids, I started losing hair. It was quite unnerving as I would pull out WADS at a time; however, my doctor assured me it was natural and would stop. If you still feel concerned about it, just call the doc and make sure. ;)

Goddess ~ Hope you had an incredible birthday! Did it hurt?

RR ~Love the pics!!! Your DD is beautiful!

Fiona ~ Welcome!! :welcome2:

Have a great day!!
Fondly,
Fit

Hello everyone! Just a fly-by. Hopefully I will have my computer back soon. I am having serious withdrawal!

To every one HELLO welcome newbie and i'll check in later
HUGS
Michelle

I'm feeling blue for no reason.. and I am tired. I just to a long undeserved nap. Oh the joys of being a women. I have an ovulation scope. and it tells me that I am ovulating at the moment. I am monitoring, to see how I gain, and what my emotions are in relation to my cycle.

Anyway. Yesterday, I called to cancel my account with People PC. ( have been putting if off for a month now. After being on hold for a while, I got an operator. I told her I want to cancel my account. She said, "oh, I'm sorry to hear that. We want all our customers to be happy. well give you a free month and I'll switch you over to tech support, so they can help you get a faster connection. I told her no thank you. I haven't use them in a month, and am with AOL now. She gave me the whole line again. I told her No please just cancel the account. She gave me the line again, only said 2 months this time. This went on one more time, and I was starting to lose my cool. (I am usually really nice to operators, because I know that they are supposed to try to get customers to stay, but this was ridiculous. I raised my voice. "ma'am, I do not need, nor do I want people pc. All I want, is for you at this very moment to end my account, I don't want or need it anymore. Believe it or not, she went on with the whole babbling sh peel. I cut her off "Ma'am, If you don't cancel my account right now, i am gonna hang up this phone, and call through again to get a different operator. I am on my cell phone, and this is costing me minutes" Would you believe that this dense irritating women went on to offer me an email account that is not Internet connection, just email for $3 a month. I know my face got red I really raised my voice and she finally FINALLY canceled my account. What a box of rocks she was. I almost think that she had a friend listening in to see how long I would stay on or something. Every time she would start with "I'm sorry to hear that..." and her tone never changed. UGHHHH

OK, I'm done now

lolol you are SO PATIENT!!!

I would've been ugly ROFLMAO but at least it's taken care of..... :)

Yeah, I'm glad its done LOL

OK, I finished my painting. (well pretty much, I may add a little more detail in the flowers)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...l/Dsc04197.jpg

I made a few mistakes, but you can't tell, unless you put the pictures side by side LOL There was supposed to be another pony under the tree, but I ran out of room, and the two on the left weren't supposed to touch.

Stevi: do you use acrylics?

All I had was craft paint. Acrylics are SO high. I did this on card board. I want to do the same picture on a canvas. I need a break from this one first though! LOL it was a lot of work.

WOW!!! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got walking time in :D

Morning!

Christie~WOW!! That looks fantastic!!! I have to ask.....have you had time to do anything else??? That looks like such detailed work and must have been time consuming!! Way to go, you are quite the artist! The operator issue: I hear ya, sometimes they can be so thick, but I, like you, try to remember that they are just doing their job. It can be impossible to be patient with them when they just won't let up though.


Michelle~hope things are feeling much better today! I still cannot believe you did it.. ;) ..just the thought of it scares me :eek: !

Jessamy~Good for you getting back up on the horse! You should not be so hard on yourself, of course I say that but then I do the exact same thing~beating myself up for not being better at this whole weight issue. I think that maybe I should meet with a nutritionist or personal trainer to get someone else kicking my butt too!

Fit~Hi there! How have you been?? I see you often post helpful messages to everyone, thank you for being so uplifting!

Hello to everyone else!
Chat again soon
Take care
Darcy

Wow, awesome Christi! You have the patience of a saint, I would've gone ballistic on the operator after the 2nd round!

Really busy today, :wave: Hi to everyone! Heading to the gym tonight.

:( feeling a little blue today i have this "situation" pop up last night you see my husband was helping a lady from work with a new computer ( i think i told ya all this ) but of course her daughter is my hubbys age and a blond bomb shell well the lady he works with gave him her old puter anyways i thought ok great well about 2 weeks ago he was playing with it and gettin some photos off of it that she forgot no biggie he said he was gonna wipe the computer after wards great we were to have an almost new computer well last night i noticed that hers was hooked up not ours and i needed to charge my cell phone so i turned hers on and there was a password i didnt know it and when you go to hint it has a saying that my husband does sooooo 1. he has locked me outta this computer and 2 when i asked him why HE FLEW OFF THE HANDLE ???????? starts yelling i mean YELLING at me that she didnt want anyone going through it hmmm i thought it was ours he had a tatrum and wouldnt give me the password WTF???? is up with that, and to top it off he said he did it so i wouldnt find some thing and trip out on him ( he said i have head deamons) he said so many things that was sooooo hurtful like i was the worst wife in the police academy WTF????? im the ONLY wife that irons stay's up untill 11pm to make sure he has a hot dinner etc
afterwards he was kissing my *** but im soooo pissed at him right now
my thought he's hiding something and thats why he flew off the handle when i confronted him
whats your guys input???? am i over reacting?
thanks :hug: :hug:
michelle

Ugh, Michelle, it doesn't sound good. :( I try not to fly off the handle about things, but I would probably freak out over that. I mean, if you have nothing to hide, then there's no reason not to let you see what's on there.

Fit, what did you do to your foot? Hope it's better soon and those pounds go away!

Squishy, how are you doing today? Don't fret! Check what you wrote us...house guests, and going off a strict diet...hang in there and get back on track!

Darcy, glad you got some alone time with DH! I realized lately how important that is. We've been soo stressed out about Peter, that we are just like 2 people living under the same roof. We had a date Saturday night as well. Had some good conversation too.

Molly, you're gonna post a couple of those pics, right? ;) We've been to PP, and liked them, they're just a little expensive and we really don't need packages.

Christi, Beautiful pics of your yard and DD!

Stevi, Geez, a lot of action out there! :eek: Hope DS is feeling better soon!

RR, Cute pics of K & the IMs. :) We see them more and more on PD.

Lisa, how are you doing?? I barely see you anymore! How's the job going? Do you like it there? Are you going back to school?

Fiona, Congrats on the loss!! :cheer:

Hi all~

Just had a few minutes and wanted to check in.

Lauren~Glad you and DH had some time to reconnect, you are right, it is very important, but so easy to put last when so much else is going on.

Michelle~I do not think that I would feel comfortable with my hubby locking me out of our computer. I hope you can get that resolved quickly.

Well, I changed my avatar to include a family pic. It is from a couple of years back, but DH and I look the same. I am usually the one behind the camera, so it is very hard for me to find pictures of myself. I know that I should be in more of them and I am working on that, I just hate seeing the extra pounds captured!

Darcy

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. They are very encouraging.

Darcy, you have a beautiful family! Oh, and I sketched it saturday and sunday, and painted monday and tuesday. I probably spent about 6-8hours collectively on it. Its not a mueral. well not yet anyway, it is about 1' x1.5' It is hard to do all my house work when I am doing a "project" But i some how manage ;)

Godesss" It doesn't sound good girl!!

yeah oct SUCKS so far ... sigh oh well im still working it out via e-mail with hubby if he doesnt give me the password im throwing and smashing that damn computer in the street TEE HEE

Just time for a quick post-
I am doing ok- been tracking in FitDay for past 2 days (yest was pretty high cal so I think this will help me) and I have a "buddy" I have an exercise challenge with. I think it is pretty ambitious- she came up with 1 hr/day for 2 weeks. I am better with 30 min but I am including stall mucking, roofing, walking and planned exercise so I may make it.

Darcy- I am a dietitian so I dont think this'll help me lol ROFLMAO but having ANYONE to be accountable to is great! I am glad about my exercise challenger and my own accountability on FitDay. Ya want to make a commitment to us like that? I will help push you along if you'd like.

Christie- Your work is awesome. I worship to the goddesses of art Stevi and Christie!


Goddess- WOW! I cant believe you did it. My DH would love it if I did something wild like that or a tattoo or anything. I am too inhbited and chicken **it...
Comouter thing doesnt sound good. I hate when they turn it around and make it YOUR issue that you are a nut or insanely jealous and irrational. DH does that occasionally and I HATE it. Turn the whole situation around and they'd be 10x worse! UGH! Good luck to ya. I dont know waht to say but you guys have a trust issue whether it is justified or not. THAT is an issue in itself and makes life stressful! Like you dont have enough! If he knows you are not trusting then he could do anything he could to reassure you to build trust rather than undermining it with passwords. Hopefully he could anticipate that this might look wierd to you and NOT do it for that very reason, but men dont think this way I dont think..

BTW- I'm down 2 lbs from 2 days ago! What is with that! So only 3 lbs higher than recent lowest at end of SBD phase 1...

morning all,
I did my abs this morning, been better on my food. ran around like a chicken with my head cut off, but I got it all done. i sure was tired though. I got up at 5 to walk b/c I knew i'd be busy in the afternoon. dog missed goin to the park though, so we'll be going after work again today.

Hope you're doing well. I'm exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!!
