Dan I liked the fair analogy because I took DS to the mini-fair last night and made sure to bring less than $20 with us. I'm happy to say we made it out with 2.75 still in our pockets.
Joni - It was fun, thanks! DS went on two rides...firetrucks and the carousel, but wouldn't sit on a horse, we had to sit on the bench thingy, but he liked it. Then we played a game, and the man took pity on me and gave Cam a free little stuffed animal when I lost pitifully, and then he had one of those little cones of popcorn. I changed my mind on the candy floss when I saw the gargantuan size of the bag...no no no.... All in all, a great (sugar free) outing for a 2 and 36 year old!
Danette -- Did you get the results of your IB testing yet? They may need to make other changes to your plan based on the foods your body can and can't tolerate.
Letisha -- Good job on being down another pound, 15 sounds like a bit of a milestone for me, congratulations!!
Beth -- Sorry, I can't be of any help, I was long past breastfeeding when I started. I could give you a link to check out though...try breastfeeding.com and their message boards for better advice. I would suspect the concern might be the levels of soy and whether an infant could tolerate that. Also, I know they have a new pregnancy plan at LAWL, so they should be able to tell you at your COD something about lites and pregnancy/breastfeeding.
Nancy -- My DH might think I'm over thinking the disaster thing too, but he'll be happy enough that I did if one happens to strike.
AI talk: I thought Melinda was great last night AGAIN, and actually I liked Chris as well, even though I'm not normally crazy about him. Right now my favorites are Melinda and Blake.
Lea Ann -- I'm not crazy about Heather Mills either...the whole ugly divorce thing with Paul McCartney kept sticking in my mind. Almost as nuts as the Baldwins!
Kim in TN -- I do some sunning too...but nothing like I used too, and always through at least some sunblock. Isn't it weird that something that makes you feel healthy and glowing is so bad for you?
Shannon -- I want to be a fancy girl too! Golden skin, and white clothes that magically never get dirty. Ahhhhh.....
*lifts her pretend champagne glass to toast Katie* sip sip..mmmm To a long and happy life together!
Nicole -- It's okay, I was worried that I was going to start you thinking about your 'irrational fears' -- which I actually think are quite rational btw...lol
Deb -- So far I've only stocked extra food, canned and rice and pasta and that kind of thing...I need to move on to other areas. I decided to make a list by food group and try to make sure I have something from each one in my supplies. I need powdered milk...not that I'll drink it, but DS will have to. I th ink I'm just going to pick up a big storage container too and stick it in the basement, and add stuff to it. I need more medical type stuff I think.
Shannon - OMG -- Just tell her to leave him at home and that it's true, he's not welcome... yikes! What kind of dog is he?
Barb -- Holy smokes! Way to go!!!! Awesome job.
Kristen -- I have a few ideas for your extra fat...with 3 fats, SURELY you could have the new Lays Lightly Salted potato chips...even just a few. Mmmm... So what are your total exchanges now? Do you still have lites?
On facebook I'm Angie Linton-Durando, so anyone here who would like to add me, please feel free.
Tina -- Yes .2 is better than nothing, and it's waaaay better than gaining!
Once again, I'm such a NERD, that I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow and see how POP and purple is working for me. I've FINALLY started exercising too...walk last night pulling DS in his wagon, and a 20 minute walk with the dog at lunch today.
i love it when you mention starbucks..makes me smile every time and wish that you were closer so you could come and visit my store!
