Only have a minute...got to go running yesterday, Finally!
wow that's a lot of exclimation points for one little post...
Hope everyone is well, check in tomorrow

SUZIN...Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!! I hope you're doing good and feeling better.

SASSY...Oh my sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear of your baby, that's so sad. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I just read back some posts that I had missed and I love the car that you're looking to buy for you, it is really cute!

Hello ladies...

Finally have some time to sit and type! And, I'm not pooped! A little sleepy though for some reason. Think it is the weather. It has been raining here for the last week. Had a break from it yesterday. So glad that when we moved it waited until we were totally moved in. Anyway...

MICHELLE...you are welcome for the card sweetie! Sorry I didn't get on here and wish you a Hope it was a nice one!

KATY...enjoy the trip to the beach! WTG on your loss! Now that would be a great motivation and reward!

JULES...hugs to your DD. Glad your brother is feeling better even if he is stir crazy. Hey, what kind of car are you going to get? Bet you are excited to say the least!

SusanNYC...WTG on the running!

SUSAN...hoping all is well with you and the girls and...hope you had a wonderful BD! Happy Belated Birthday to you sweetie!

SASSY...such a pretty car. Now I couldn't really tell from the angle of the picture but is it a midsize car, SUV, or a crossover? Whatever it is it sure is a cute one and looks like it would be fun to drive. So sorry to hear about your kitty. Lots of hugs to you

Well...I will be glad when this move is completely done. Rather I should say, when the house is totally organized and everything is in its place. Got quit a bit done today. You couldn't tell by looking but my bedroom & bath are all put together, as well as the linen closet and the main bath. Working on the kitchen and living room tomorrow. Did some in the living room over the weekend but basically did other things, like taking it easy, lol. Wasn't going to put any things on the wall until we paint but then decided to go ahead and do it and then will just paint over the nails once we paint. Vince needs a break. Got some curtains and blinds ordered and waiting on those so...it will probably be a while before we are completely done.

With moving and being so tired I did not eat right at all. We ate out way too much last week. But...I am happy to say, somehow I lost a pound. Probably all the work/sweating from the move. I didn't think I was going to make it. Working on getting back on track this week and get serious about this weight.

Later, ladies!

Hello ladies...

SUSAN...do my eyes deceive me! Lol I am so glad to see your post! You had me worried missy. A HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you! Your card will be late and I am so sorry about that. I had all the cards that needed to be mailed on an end table so that I would get them mailed before we started moving everything and I just found yours and my nieces' this morning, egads! I was so sure I had mailed it now feel bad that I didn't. Glad to hear things are well with you and the girls, and Michael! Wow, four months already! Doesn't the time go by fast? About going from an 8 to a 12...is a 12 so bad? I would love to see a 12, lol! But you know your body and what's good for you...we love ya whatever size you are...it's just numbers. Glad to see ya posting.

Nothing much going on today. Was supposed to start the kitchen but got side tracked, lol. Getting ready to though. I WILL cook dinner tonight! So tired of eating out-nothing tastes good anymore. Ran some errands this morning came home and thought I'll just run to Target and pick up a few things. So now I am back and doing my 'puter time before getting started. I WILL have that kitchen together today too! Lol

Hope everyone is having an awesome day! Take care

SuzyQ--Welcome back!! How are the teenage terrors!! So great that you and Michael are still together. I can't believe that Gaby starts kindergarten in the fall!!

Cristina-is the kitchen ready yet!!! I haven't decided on a car yet, I would love to get something really cute and sporty but the practical side of me is looking at a midsize car. Once it is paid off then hubby says we are getting a vette!! (preferably convertable!!) I actually am in love with the Pontiac Solstice but it's a two seater convertable, definitely not practical, but I think it's awesome!!! http://www.pontiac.com/solstice/index.jsp

Michelle--Hi there!

Sassy--I am so sorry about your kitty....I can understand not wanting to post..come back later!!

SusanNYC--Have fun jogging!! The girl on the treadmill beside me at the gym was jogging tonight--my knee is not up to it yet.

Katy--have fun at the beach!! She will make it up. She moved AGAIN!!
Her new roomate has added her to the lease and the bills are pretty low since they are splitting everything. The last roomate got pregnant and Teri's old room is now the nursery even though the baby isn't due til September!!

Going with DS to the Spy Museum in Dc on Saturday--his bday is Sunday--he's a big 22!! His gf is trying to trade shifts so she can go to.

Hi everyone!

Susan!!!!! Welcome back! I missed you

Sassy - so sorry to hear about the loss *hugs*

Got to go for a short jog yesterday...but got a stomach cramp and felt icky all night.

I have pictures! from st. Pat's '05 (from my avitar) and St. Pat's '07 (wearing the same shirt conveniently enough) and one from August

Sorry my messages have been so short...my mind has been way too busy lately, hope all are well and having a good day

Hello ladies...

SASSY...sorry to hear about FIL. Lots of hugs to him and the rest of your family. I have seen a lot of those mini-stationwagons and yes, they are sporty and not so much like a station wagon per se. Looks like a fun little car and I know you will love it!

JULES...I didn't get the kitchen together, bummer! I should have started on the other side of the kitchen since I started washing the glasses first. Well, I didn't...so, I have clean glasses in the dishwasher waiting to be put up. I ran out of shelf liner. I forgot Teri moved again. How is she liking her new place? That is an awesome little car! I am so scared of little cars like that I think I would freak riding in one or driving one. I'm such a weirdo always worrying about some big truck running me over, lol. But I like the car. Have fun at the spy museum...it sounds like it would be fun, and interesting. Oh, and thank you for the card I received yesterday! That was very sweet of you and made my day!

SUSAN...did Beck and her friend go to Reno alone? I was going to say why Reno and not Vegas but I forgot you guys are in Oregon, duh. Was thinking you were in CA for some reason. Glad you and Michael are together an dhe is a romantic! He sounds like such a sweetie. Cheese danish, mmmmm. McDonalds used to have one that I loved! OMG! Guess I am glad they don't anymore, lol. I am getting fat just reading your post, lol!

SusanNYC...wow, girly, those are awesome picutres! You look GREAT! Thanks for sharing them with us. You've come a long way and I am happy for you that you have passed your goal!

HI MICHELLE...hope all is well with you and you are having a good day.

KATY...hope you guys are having fun at the beach! Wish I was there with you.

Not much going on. Had to be up early to get Ernie dog to the vet. Poor puppy dog...he is having his teeth cleaned. He actually, had his teeth cleaned. Before I even made it home th vet called and said they had them cleaned and polished. But the wanted to take some x-rays because he has some bone loss on two teeth and wanted to see if they needed to pull them. Luckily they didn't..it was his molars. Good thing he doesn't eat hard dog food anymore. Anyway, have to go get him at 2:30. On the way home though thought I would pick up a few groceries. We are supposed to get some severe weather later and then more rain tomorrow. I want to get more done around this house tomorrow instead of running errands. I definitely get more done when I don't have to leave the house two or three times a day. Working on the kitchen again today and I am hoping to get it finished. I have just 6 cabinets to line, 2 drawers and then the two undercabinets. Putting the stuff away is a cinch. Of course I probably have two loads to run in the dishwasher as well. But we will be eating a homecooked meal today! In between I have two more loads of laundry to get done. Kind of let that go the last couple of days since I was busy with other things.

Anywho...still aiming to be 90-100% finished with the inside, other than curtains and blinds by the weekend so that I can get back on track with my exercise. My body has been hurting and I think it's because I've not exercised in almost 2 weeks. I feel sore...I know moving will do this but I honestly don't think it is from the move. My body gets used to the exercise and then when I just quit it hurts.

Hoping all is well with you ladies and everyone is having a good day! Lots of hugs to everyone!

TY All.

SCUZIN...LOVE your pictures!! You really are a tiny, pretty lady, I'm jealous!!

SUSAN...So glad to see you really did come back from Hawaii! I'm so happy for you having such a wonderful man taking such good care of you and Gaby, cuz you both deserve it! My sister lives in Canby and loves it out there.

SASSY...You're still in my prayers.

KATY...Hope you're having great weather and enjoying yourself at the beach!

CRISTINA...With all the moving and working around the house you have been doing, I think you're probably getting more exercise that you think you are. You're just a little busy body! So glad Ernie didn't have to get any teeth pulled.

JULES...Hope you're having a good day!!

Today has just been a very downer day, and I just got finished cleaning the junky kitchen table off, vacuuming and doing the dishes. I talked to my dad today, because I called my grandma this morning, who is still in the hopsital and it will be two weeks tomorrow, and she sounded very weak and depressed. My dad said that she is in extreme pain and isn't wanting anything to do with a rehabilitation center that she needs desperately, and she told him that she doesn't want to live anymore. She lost my grandpa one year ago this month and they were married for 65 years, and she's just tired of going on. I have always been so close to my grandma and this is a very hard time for me too right now and being so far away. My DH, DD and I all had eye appointments and order new glasses for another two years. I wanted contacts, but they wanted to charge me another $75 for a fitting fee and I couldn't affored that so it's glasses again.
