Good Morning Ladies :wave:

Just thought I would get us started since I am still up at this hour. Was getting ready to go to bed, and morning sickness hit me with a vengence. Well, in my case it happens to be midnight sickness. Other than that I have been feeling pretty well. Only real complaint I have is that I am soooo tired lately. Didnt' realize it would zap all of my energy this early. I go for my first prenatal this afternoon, and I am soooooo nervous. I am such a baby when it comes to needles, and I am so nervous about them taking my blood. That is all I can think about. It has me scared to death lol That's the only thing I am nervous about though. I am hoping to get in this afternoon after dr's visit to do personals. Hope you all have a great day!!!

Brenda: Hope your FIL's surgery went great. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers!!

Bunnababy 05-27-2004 01:59 AM

Good morning all. It will take me a while to learn the names :^: but I have been reading the last couple of days posts.

Brenda, hope your FIL is doing okay.

I will be working all day tomorrow so won't get on until evening again. I started today again and it went fine :cool: I need to journal though to make sure I am getting enough veggies in. :eating2:

Talk to you all tomorrow. :)

Trazzie 05-27-2004 07:41 AM

Good Morning,
I'm hoping we have another bright sunny day today, yesterday was the first in 2 weeks we didn't have rain. It was quite chilly tho, maybe we can get the temp to rise a little bit. I did manage to get in a walk and bike ride, even grilled out last night. Have to take advantage of it when I can ;)

MrsH - I can promise you that you will be used to the needles by the end of this pregnancy. Just sit and put out your arm and look way across the room at a picture and concentrate on that. Never actually watch them draw blood *shiver*. It isn't painful and you will do just fine.. think about the good cause :) I'll be rooting for you.

Brenda - I hope all went well with your FIL's surgery and he's nicely back on the road to recovery.

Bunna - I don't believe I have welcomed you to the boards yet :wave:

Eek 15 mins to get to work.. will have to post later.. have a great day all

lady_adnerb 05-27-2004 07:48 AM

Lisa: Sorry to hear you're having night sickness. Hopefully that part will be over soon.

Bunna: Welcome to the board and I STILL get/forget people's names.

Trazzie: We're back to the rain days. It's supposed to rain most of today. I'm getting sick of it how about you??

Thank you all for the wishes and prayers. The FIL was in recovery longer than anticipated because he bled quite a bit and they wanted to make sure he didn't need a transfusion. But when we left he was talking and joking and his BP was raising nicely. So I'm thinking he'll probably get to go home today or tomorrow. As for me? I'm still sick. Danged if I didn't almost lose my voice yesterday. Throat was so dang sore after we left the hospital (too much talking is what DH said) that I could barely swallow. Luckily the voice held on for the youngests DD's ceremony (and luckily I rigged it so I didn't have very much of a speaking part :lol: ). I'm SO sick of being sick it's ridiculous. DH has told me this weekend I'm not doing ANYTHING. Just resting and getting well. We'll see how well that work. :lol:

lady_adnerb 05-27-2004 08:27 AM

Oh forgot to mention. The scale is moving on the upward side. Probably from the Tai food on Monday. Then leftover Tai food on Tuesday. And all the cough drops and crap I'm taking (that doesn't help worth diddly). Add that TOM is coming (stupid cramps! I've got FOUR more days before it's supposed to get here. grrr) and I'm getting irritable over this "cold"......but on the plus side....I managed to forgo this YUMMY looking cake, the chex mix and soda from yesterdays party. I won't make the end of May challenge. But danged if I haven't come a LONG way from where I started. Oh...and oldest DD's 5th grade teacher never fails to compliment me every time she sees me. Yesterday she asked how many pounds I lost and after I told her she just was SO nice in saying how good I look and how I've come a long way, etc. She's such a sweet woman :)

LoriAS 05-27-2004 08:29 AM

Brenda - So glad to hear that FIL is doing well! You need to try and rest this weekend!! :nono: No playing around, must rest! (Like I would probably get any rest either!)

Trazzie - It's been the same here in Ohio...warm, cold, rain, cold, warm, cold... can't summer get here already!!

Bunna - Welcome! I'm horrible with names, too!

MrsH - Congratulations on the little one!!! I must have missed that one. I agree with the advice about the shots...look away and think "happy thoughts". Hope the midnight sickness dissipates soon.

Star - You ARE beautiful!! But I know exactly how you feel! It's difficult to even believe that I'm pretty when I've been berating myself all these years!! Much less believe I'm actually a skinny person!

Lisa - Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. I think we ALL needed to hear them.

As for me...I'll probably be around quite a bit today. I have not appointments. My desk is practically bare, my boss is out of town, and I'm off tomorrow. So, I know this day it just going to crawl!!!!

Talk to you later!

lady_adnerb 05-27-2004 08:34 AM

Lori, don't ya just HATE not having enough work to make the time fly? I've had that problem at work for weeks now. It's why I haven't felt guilty about the time I've been taking off. Danged if I don't feel like taking today off also. But I need more money on the paycheck this week than I had last week. The only saving grace is having Monday off and being paid for it. I figure I can suffer for 2 days and then rest this weekend. The lawn needs mowing again :(

jane8760 05-27-2004 08:35 AM

Good morning everyone.......

Brenda: So glad to hear that your FIL is doing well. Hopefully he goes home today. I am sorry you still feel so sick. Don't talk....just type! :lol:
Don't worry about the scale right now....just get better.

Trazzie: :wave: Have a great day. Check in later if you can.

Bunna: Welcome :D This is a great group of people and I know you will enjoy it here. Ask everything and anything.........plus we love a little gossip here or there so join in!

Lisa: Don't worry about the blood tests. It will only pinch for a second and like Trazzie said by the end of this 9 months you will be a pro at getting this done. Sorry about the "midnight" sickness. Hope that goes away soon.

Well, I kept my calories down yesterday...I think way to low as a matter of fact. I still have to plug in last nights dinner into Fitday. I was soooooo hungry yesterday. So today I brought a string cheese but that is all the cheese I am having so that should be fine. Going to keep bringing my cukes to munch on. Have tuna for lunch so hopefully that won't put me over the top today in calories.
I have to confess I hopped on the scale AGAIN today....it is going down. I was actually almost 154. Wow, that will be great to go into the weekend being down 2 this week. I am going to behave myself this weekend if it KILLS me!

jane8760 05-27-2004 08:37 AM

Oh and I forgot to mention that I tried on an old pair of size 10 jeans this morning and much to my surprise they fit! :fr: I couldn't believe it. They were a little snug in the butt but the waiste wasn't too bad. I didn't wear them today because I thought that breathing would be a good idea today :lol:

lady_adnerb 05-27-2004 08:40 AM

Congratulations on the weight lost Jane. Keep up the good work. I probably have more cheese than I should also. Never thought to cut THAT back. :lol: Seems everything I eat needs to be cut back. Well, I'll worry about it at a later date. Right now I've got to work on being able to SWALLOW stuff. :( Dang I hate being whiney!!

jane8760 05-27-2004 08:49 AM

Lori: We must have been typing at the same time! Good morning. I'm a little dead at work today too.....that makes the day drag.

Brenda: I haven't "officially" lost it yet but thanks :D

I just logged last night into FitDay.....DAMN even cutting my calories I still can't keep them low enough. I was at 1300 calories and 24 carbs!!!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

With almost everything logged for today I am at 778 calories and 10 carbs....but I know more will be added. I am forgoing my pecans today if I can cause they just have WAY to many calories in them. Need to find an alternative.

LoriAS 05-27-2004 09:07 AM

Brenda: Yes, I hate slow days!!! Or paperwork days!! Those two are the worst because they make the day drrrrrrrraaaaaaaaagggggggg on so!

Jane: Congratulations! I think you are doing great and very dedicated! I couldn't do it. One thing I love about this WOE is that if I'm hungry I can find something to eat. I hate being hungry! I haven't even attempted to look at the calories. However, I have decided that it I'm going to get my butt and thighs looking like I want them to in a 2 piece that I'm going to have to do something more about it. So, I've decided to be dedicated to weight lifting for toning. I think I'm going to adopt the Body-for-Life work out routine. Even though I always used to wonder if the promotional pictures they post are "fixed". I checked out their website yesterday and they seem to have more "real" people on there lately.

Anyway, enough of my babbling...I've got to find something to "look" busy!

Leenie 05-27-2004 09:12 AM

Good Morning Everyone,

Jane 1300 calories and 24 carbs sounds okay to me, I mean your gonna lose regardless of your carbs with your calories THAT low. Your doing wonderful lady, don't get down over a few carbs.

Lisa, HUGS, don't be afraid of the needles, they uses such baby fine needles these days, you hardly feel it. They used butterfly ones on me and took it from my hand. I gotta tell you the only thing that scared me during my pregnancy was the fact that my doctor wanted to do an Amino (sp? the test where they take fluid from the baby/sack thru your belly button). I refused that test because of two reasons, one was that 1 in 200 babies die due to that test and those odds were to high for me and second reason was I was keeping the baby no matter what I was told, so the test was useless. But honestly everything else they do isn't bad (during normal check ups).

Brenda feel better :(

Trazzie are you doing anything special for your Birthday tomorrow ?

Bunna good luck on the veggies ;)

Lori enjoy your free time :D I know I do.

Hugs to everyone to come :grouphug:

jane8760 05-27-2004 09:29 AM

Lori: I checked out the "Draper" thread above this morning and printed out the dumbbell workout on there. Looks really good and I too am interested in toning up. Check it out.

Leenie: It's just that it seems to never end.....you are good on carbs but then have to lower your calories....you lower your calories and the carbs go up. I started taking a multi vitamin when I started this and then noticed that my calcium was low.....now I find I am still laking in other nutrients and need to take more!!!!! It just never ends. I had better live to be 100!

Lekker 05-27-2004 09:38 AM

Good morning everyone!

It amazes me sometimes how much conversation you all get in by 9.30 in the morning. :)

MrsH - good luck with your prenatal today!

Bunnababy - welcome to the board!

Trazzie - my parents seem to be stuck in a lot of rain lately, too. They have to do some re-planting of their soys, unfortunately.

Brenda - like the others, I hope your FIL is doing well, and I hope you feel better, too!

Lori - take a looooong lunch...you can turn that into a big time waster!

Jane - congrats on the size 10, you're doing awesome, I think

Morning Leenie!


Today I'm just doing some writing of my thesis. I find some days I can write really productively, and others I feel that I only get a couple of good sentences out.

I'm going to a aero-box (like tae-bo) class today at the downtown YMCA - I'm trying to get more regular at the gym again. Lately it's been just here or there, but not enough. So I really hope I like the instructor for this class, because the instructor is nearly the most important thing, I think. They can make or break one of those classes.

I got an email yesterday from my *other* friend that I hadn't heard from in ages, which I was really excited by and I also found that she might be moving here in September, so we might overlap in the same city for about a month (if I'm still around). That would be great...she's a lot of fun and really, really energetic...a good influence!

Later!

Theo'sgirl 05-27-2004 10:23 AM

Good morning ladies, wow it is busy already this morning!!

Mrs. H, tried just the first trimester you will get a burst of energy back in the second!!! YOU will be a needle pro by the end of this journey!!!

Lekker: good luck with the thesis writing today!!!

good job on the veggies Bunna!!

B- Get well soon!!

Lori hope your boss free day goes fast!!

Trazzie have a great day!!!

As for me I am backt o the grindstone I am reining myself back in. I have been eating LC but alot of LC and not really paying attention to my portions and putting in little sneaks every once in awhile. So I gotta put the smack down on myself!!! I am back to the GYM, FOOD LOG, and 20 Carbs or less a day!! I gotta get a move on this since I am getting closer to vacation. Last time my friends in Calif saw me I was at my highest weight....I haven't told any of them that I have lost weight it is a SURPRISE!!!
heee heee heee :)

LOve Tg

LoriAS 05-27-2004 10:37 AM

Lekker - good idea on the lunch and great about your email. I always find it fun when I get an unexpected email from an old friend!

TG - Good girl! I find it easier to stay lower carb when have some rough days. But it's always great when you can go back to the 20g per day and get back "in the groove". I so hope your friends are amazed with the new you!!! That is sooooo much fun too.

Speaking of that...I'm going home (TN) this weekend to see some people i haven't see in over a year!!!! And I'm sure I was higher than my starting weight (183) the last time I was there. I'm excited and a bit scared? (not sure if that is the right word to use). I have found lately that i have to strengthen my resolve to attain my goal. I'm feeling great about myself and I KNOW my body is happy to stay where it is (or go up). But I am determined to reach my goal (most days).

So, my fear is...you get around family and friends and they begin to tell you how much different you look. Or that "you can stop now". That is the biggest one that irritates me! "You can stop now." HOw do they know? Ok, I will not get worked up about this again! I think these kind of things sabatoge my resolve. Help!! How do you go on when you are starting to get comfortable with your "new self"? Star...help! I have started exercising again this week. I was only doing that off and on for the last few weeks. I know that will help me lose, after the initial muscle adjustment. I'm trying to be great with my carbs, but it seems like I sabotage myself every weekend! And now we have a holiday weekend coming up with travel and family and friends!!! EeeeK! I think I'm just going to lock myself in my room with all low carb food.

Is anyone else having these panic attacks about their goals and this weekend??? Is it the summer that is doing this to me? Ok, enough of my rambling!!!

Talk to you later!

jdoggmartin 05-27-2004 10:51 AM

From yesterday...

Star: You definitely are a beautiful girl! It's hard sometimes to realize the changes in your own body because you live with it -- you see it every single day and might not notice the changes so much. Losing weight is definitely hard, but the hardest thing might be changing our mindsets. Sometimes it worries me that I'll never be satisfied.

Lisa: I read the "Home Improvement Diet," and I cracked up and felt bad for you at the same time! You are a very talented writer. Congrats on the weight loss!

From today:

MrsH: Hope the prenatal goes well!

Trazzie: Way to take advantage of that great weather!

Brenda: Glad your FIL is doing well. Now, you need to get to feeling better!

Lori: Hope your day at work goes faster than expected.

Jane: Size 10?!? You just got into a size 12 recently, didn't you? You are on a roll recently -- way to go! Congrats!

Leenie: Hugs to you, too!

Lekker: I feel the same way about writing. It just has to "hit" me. It seems like my most productive writing time is about 11 p.m. the night before the article is due! :^:

Theosgirl: Can you put the smack down on me, too? :D

Tried the McDonald's adult happy meal last night. The salad was really tasty -- I think I got the chicken-bacon-ranch salad or something like that. The chicken was so good. We had to wait FOREVER for them to make it, though, so they gave us two pedometers. Those things are so fun -- I walked about a mile last night at the baseball game. I can't wait to try it out for a full day. The bad points about the meal: I was hungry about an hour after I ate the salad, and I'm with you, Jane, why does the dressing have to have 9 carbs in it!? I just didn't use any dressing, which is fine by me. I don't use dressing a lot.

The game was fun, but the Devil Rays lost. This afternoon: another game! Yay! We have the cutest mascot in MLB. I'll have to get my picture with him and post it. I need a new progress picture, anyway. Plus, I'll probably look really skinny next to a big, furry blue monster! :lol:

Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Take care,
Jina

Good Morning Ladies!

Brenda - Glad to hear FIL is doing well

Lisa - TG is right. You'll get your energy back in a couple of months, and by the end, those needles just won't bother you anymore. I was the same way with my first daughter. They had to take blood everytime I went in due to toxemia. By the end, it was "okay, here you go, just do it" It'll all be worth it

Trazzie - I'll share the dry heat with you that we have here in Southern California

Lori - I hate days with nothing to do. Easy to tell when I'm slow, I'm on here alot!

Lekker - Good luck with the thesis

Jane - Size 10 isn't bad. I'm size 10 use to be size 16 to 18 at one point

Lennie - Same problem for me. I have to watch carbs and calories both

Bunna - Welcome

Okay, I'm sure I missed some one, this place is busy today! :lol: Well, TOM is finally over and down from 6 lbs that I put on due to the beast. Went out to Happy Hour last night and it turned into happy 5 hours. Head is wozzie this morning, but it'll go away in a little bit. Someday I'll learn, but when he's offering to drive for once, it's my turn to lose it. Our friends just kept showing up and it would have been rude to leave, yeah, that's my excuse!

morti 05-27-2004 11:05 AM

Jina - you snuck in on me! Glad you enjoyed the ball game

StarPrincess 05-27-2004 11:11 AM

Good morning, Darlings!

What a busy day on the forum!

Mrs. H - ah, baby fun! Please be sure to tell me all the awful stuff in great detail. It will be like additional birth control for me! ;)

Bunna - You're doing great! Journaling your food and exercise is one of the most helpful things ever.

Trazzie - I think it's crazy weather everywhere. 2 days ago it as in the 80's, now it's in the 60's and raining. Blech! :p

Brenda - I hope you get feeling better. Are you being good about taking your vitamins? I know that when I'm not getting enough of the right stuff, I get sick pretty easily. Also, you know they make cough drops and syrups and all that SF, right?

Jane - You go, girl! And 1300 is plenty low.

Good morning Leenie! :coffee:

Lekker - Happy Thesis writing!

Lori - Self-sabotage is a *****! I went through a phase of being bad on the weekends and good all week. I just had to find something to keep me focused. For me, that's the eternal quest to have a butt that looks great in a thong ;) Also, I'm not done. I get that from people all the time 'don't lose any more weight, you're going to be too skinny'. Well guess what? It's not their choice! Besides, I've been too fat for so long, that being 'too skinny' might be a nice change! :s: Really, though, people have been saying I don't need to lose more weight for the last 30 pounds, but they still say I look great so what do they know?

Jina - I know I'll never be satisfied. It's just not in me. Content? Sure. Satisfied? Never! Big, furry, blue monster, huh? I'm gonna have to find me one of those to walk around with me so I look all tiny and cute ;)

Well, I actually got sleep last night, can you believe it? I went home from work, took a 2 hour nap, ate too much Oh **** Yeah (6 cloves of garlic, whew!), lounged about in my own glorious stinkiness, and went to bed by 11:00. Today, I'm bloated and my stomach hurts, but I know that happens when I eat alot of fresh garlic and I don't care. :s:

So detox is working out well for me! I'm rested, awake, perky even. :) I'm even back on green tea instead of coffee. I told DH that I want to avoid drinking until the party we're going to on Sunday. It's all well and good for me if I'm at home, but it's hard to stick to water when I'm at the bar so we'll see.

Wish me luck!

StarPrincess 05-27-2004 11:13 AM

Morti - Don't you just love it how you get sucked in? I can't tell you how many times DH and I will go in for 'just one quick drink' and end up leaving 5 hours and $40 later. :lol:

jdoggmartin 05-27-2004 11:16 AM

Bunna: I think I missed you in my attempt to catch everyone! Welcome!! Glad you're here!

Morti: Congrats on the big loss!! :cb:

Star: I'm a big fan of garlic, too! I got a huge container of garlic cloves at Sam's -- it's so handy and SO big. I won't have trouble working my way through it, though!

jane8760 05-27-2004 11:18 AM

Now, now girls don't get too excited....I just said that I GOT THEM ON! I didn't say I could wear them :lol: But I feel the 10's comin my way.

Morti: You play you pay! :lol: Glad you had fun. What are your stats by the way if you don't mind me asking....if you are already into a 10!!!!

Jina: The salads aren't bad are they? Just need to lose the dressing like you said. I forgot my salad dressing today so I am going to have scrounge around in the fridge again today to find some.....I think there is an Italian in there somewhere.

Lori: I hope they all just keel over when they see you! I wish people would notice it in me. I don't understand how someone can lose 23 pounds and no one really says anything :dunno: I saw my doctor yesterday and the last time she saw me was a month or so ago (when she didn't say anything) and last night AGAIN she didn't notice. Yet she asks how my diet is going :dunno:
Sorry I don't have any good advise on how to handle those people back home ......

TG: I am in the same boat.....I am lowering my calories and really checking my portions. You sneak you! Wait till they see you!

Lekker: Have fun at the gym. How nice to get back in touch with an old friend.

Well I am hungry!!!!!!!!!!! This cutting my calories is difficult!

And another thing I have been meaning to ask......is anyone as thirsty as a horse lately? I am waking up downing 24 oz of water before I even get my hair dry. Then by 10:00am I have downed another 24 oz. I know that the water isn't going to kill me but this is weird. I am drinking more water now than ever. I have always gotten in at a minimum 8 8oz glasses a day.....then when I started Atkins I bumped that up....now I lose count how many times I fill my 24oz bottle.

Anyone else?

LoriAS 05-27-2004 11:28 AM

Looking back through the week's post and just wanted to give a big

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to KarenW on completing that running program!!! Now, just keep it up dear!

morti 05-27-2004 11:39 AM

Star - It seems to be a way of life! But we do party less than we use to. Got suckered into doing Lobster this weekend with friends. My girlfriend wants to learn how to make it, so, it'll be a trip to Sam's to buy lobster on Saturday.

Jane - I just added a signature so it's at the bottom now. Didn't realize I hadn't done this yet. Dumb me!

Jina - It was all water retention from TOM :(

StarPrincess 05-27-2004 11:45 AM

Jina - I'm willing to help you out there! ;)

Morti - I'm your opposite. I'm playing way more than I ever did when I was younger. I was so sheltered and everything growing up. In high school, I wouldn't even say the word damn. What a change, huh? :lol:

Lekker 05-27-2004 11:51 AM

Thanks for the well-wishing on the thesis. So far it appears to be a slow day, but I'm hoping for some inspiration to hit. ;)

Theo - that's going to be such a great surprise for your Cali friends - I'd be so excited just to see their reactions, if it were me. Actually, I hope to someday have a moment like that! :)

Lori - same for you, it will be interesting to see the reactions. I guess you just have to brush off the comments that the others make about 'stopping'. I guess they mean well, meaning that they think you look great, but just don't realize that *you're* not yet where you want to be. And also I think that telling you to 'stop' makes them feel okay about not doing something about changing something about *themselves* that they aren't happy with. They don't want to be left behind!

Jina - you have no idea how many times this year I have told myself, "what's the rush? I have *all* night!" when it was already 11pm. I'm absolutely horrible for procrastination, and it's because I always get away with it, so I can't stop! (Oh and I'm cheering for Calgary now, and of course, I'm very sorry that Tampa Bay lost the other night... :devil: )

Morti - glad you got rid of the extra TOM weight.

Star - No drinking until Sunday, eh? Should we all start taking bets? ;)

Lekker 05-27-2004 11:56 AM

Quote:

Oh and I'm cheering for Calgary now
I just realized that I'm such a fake fan ... I just cheer for whatever team's convenient! Well, I suppose it boils down to the fact that I don't *have* an original team to remain loyal to. Actually, jumping from team to team makes for a much less stressful NHL playoffs, there's always someone new to cheer for. :)

StarPrincess 05-27-2004 11:59 AM

LOL, Lekker, I know! I'll at least make it through tonight! One day at a time, right? ;)

I forgot to tell you guys that when I was out on Tuesday night, I ran into an old friend that I haven't seen in a couple of years. He used to be one of my Nathan's roommates. Well, when he walked into the bar, he glanced at me and it was obvious that it didn't register who I was. So Nathan grabs him and says, "I want you to meet a friend of mine." He just smiled politely and said hi. I glared at him and asked him what the :censored: was wrong with him. He looked all confused and I put my hands on my hips and asked if he was going to be a ***** like that? That turned the light switch on and he just about died. He just kept hugging me and then holding me away from him and asking if it was really me.

It was so strange! I've gotten used to the double takes currently required for some people to recognize me, but this was a new one. :lol:

Oh, and I've stopped telling people how much weight I've lost. It's just too embarassing. When someone goes 'OMG you've lost so much weight!' I just smile and say 'Oh, I've lost a little'. ;)

jdoggmartin 05-27-2004 12:23 PM

Jane: I've always drank like a horse, so I haven't noticed a difference.

Morti: Another tall girl! You're doing great -- you're not far from your goal!

Lekker: May I ask what you have against the Lightning?? It seems like you're the fan of whoever they're playing against! Oh, and procrastinating is my best quality! (Or worst. However you want to look at it.) I've gotten away with it, too -- all through college, and now my boss may be a worse procrastinator than me, so I'm all set!

Star: I was a goody-goody in high school, too. I finally let loose in college and haven't stopped since! Everyone else in high school was out partying and going crazy, and I was either studying or doing something really daring, like watching a PG movie (My mom didn't let me watch anything else! :( ) Talk about sheltered!

LOL @ PG movies! That was totally me! I didn't really go crazy until I hit 23, but I'm sure making up for it now! :devil:

Yes, but that last 10-15 lbs just kills me! I haven't been at my goal weight since I had my first child 22 yrs ago! Need to exercise instead of sitting on my tush in the evenings.

Wow, you guys have been busy this morning!!!

Don't have time for all the individuals, but glad my words were enjoyed yesterday.

Jina - glad you enjoyed my Home Improvement Diet. It was totally fun to write and I have been thinking about doing a follow-up at some point. Things have gotten a little better though dh is still unemployed and we are totally, completely broke. I didn't pay bills this month just so I could pay the mortgage next month. It really, really sucks.

Things with dh have gotten better, a little, but he is still depressed about a few things and about not having a job. I'm learning how to be more direct and making absolutely sure he understands me.

The head of it all came last week when, with no job and no money, he went and decided to get another dog. Wasted ANOTHER $25 we don't have and then chose to tell me at the grocery store where I was trying to make $15 go as far as I could. I just broke down, completely, in the frozen foods aisle and he realized that he really just didn't "get it." After several long, late-night conversations, he is starting to "get it" but won't really be there for a while. I have to lower my expectations a bit.

On the upside, I am going to be on vacation next week (which also means no internet access - unless we get the computer hooked up) and I will have lots of time with my wonderful dd and time to get things done around the house.

Glad to hear about Mrs. H's (the other Lisa) pregnancy. Yep, it totally saps your strength!! I remember - my friends were soooo worried about me and wondered if something was wrong. Then she got pg and was experiencing the same thing and finally understood just how tired it really does make you to be pg.

Star! Babysitting is enough b/c for me. LOL!! Of course, now that I have a 2yo toddler, I can't imagine life without her. You'd adjust - but those trips to the bar would have to end. ;)

Ha, I'm still mostly a goody-goody, at least in Canada. (A few years back, my dad even told me to 'let my hair down'!) But I make no guarantees/claims for when I am abroad. ;) Any corruption of me began in the Netherlands. But what can you do when beer is cheaper than coke?

May I ask what you have against the Lightning?? It seems like you're the fan of whoever they're playing against!
Jina - ha ha...it's just fun to be against Tampa since I know that you're down there! But otherwise, I don't even care who wins the cup (er...don't let anyone up here know that! I may be deported!)...I have a bit of a soft spot for Calgary since they are in Canada. Although, if I'm not mistaken, there are more Canadians on Tampa than Calgary...so perhaps my logic is flawed!

I wonder if they have a Procrastinator's Anonymous club out there? I'm sure someone tried to start a club like that once, but just kept putting it off and never got around to it...ha ha...


Hey there Lisa (Story) :wave:, you got in before me...I hope that your vacation next week is great...I'm glad that things are slowly working there way out at home.

Oh brother. You've all been chatter boxes and there's NO way my demented mind can even think to catch up. I'm sitting here in front of the computer screen instead of being outside where I should be mowing lawn. Or in front of the tv TRYING to get some type of exercise into this body of mine. My excuse? It rained :lol: yup, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Crud, now I forgot what I was gonna tell you all. Oh man, my brain is really fried. :(

FOTFL!! Oh, man, I'm lucky if I have enough time to go to the bathroom - let alone a bar!!

StarPrincess 05-27-2004 02:57 PM
