Yeah, Tom is definitely "eye candy". Gotta love those firemen. Thanks for the tip about the wine.

Gina

Hi Girls just popping in....

Noelle I am thinking about you today. I hope all is well.

Cherie, I guess I am pathetic too , one of my favorite things is sleeping in on the weekends. Dh can't, he just sleep in. Congrats on the loss. I think I may weigh in tomorrow.

Gina I did watch S. last night. I am glad he got booted too. I have not seen this much of this season, but that guy really got on my nerves. I like Steph too. She has a great body. I wish. But I don't think I will ever have a stomach like that after having kids. I also agree about Scott. He is starting to scare me. He was screaming his song on Tuesday night.

Well hello everyone else.

Angie I wish you had a laptop so we could chat. Maybe someday . Hope you found sometime to get your house cleaned. Hugs and miss ya.

Woo Hoo.. I get to leave work an hour early... I'm going to get in a full hour of rollerblading instead of 35 minutes! :-) I am so excited... now if I can only get a hold of Alan to have him meet me...

Julie thanks! I hope to have another loss to post next Friday! OK.. gotta clear my desk now so I can leave in 40 minutes!

Cherie

Cherie enjoy your rollerblading!! Have fun.

Does anyone else have plans for the weekend? It is suppose to rain here tomorrow, so I am not sure. I know I am going to do my weekly deep clean on this place tomorrow. I wonder if there are any good movies out right now that are kid friendly?? I will have to look into that. Well everyone have a great weekend.

Ok, that's it. I need a laptop with wireless internet. All I do is sit at the salon and wait for a client. I could at least be chatting with you guys. I missed so much and I and I feel lost everytime I get on the site.

Julie I used to love Gilad. HE IS THE MAN!!! Did you ever see the ones where Joe Theisman was working out with him? I luagh during football season when I see him now.

Angie what brats! I can't stand when parents let their kids do that. Those are going to be the people in society that are big headaches for the rest of us. It makes you wonder what the parents where like as children.

Gina I lived in Pensacola, FL for a few years. Not as far down but still pretty hot. Of course I still live in the south so it is always hot in the summers where I live.

Noelle I hate that people are always trying to force the courts of other people. I think that is why real criminals wiat so long for the justice that they need.

Cherie I need you to come live with me. I need some serious motivation. I have zero right now. I am working on it though.

We have a crawfish boil tomorrow so I don't know if I will be able to post but I will try. I am going to try and hunt Joe down to see what he wants to do for dinner. I hope he wants to go out. I think I want to go to one of our local place and sit outside with a few drinks and just enjoy each other.

I am tired. I got to rollerblade around the lake with Alan, which was a nice treat.. bonus time with him... and I got in a really good workout. Then later, I did an hour on the treadmill, 4.18 miles. That wore me out. I am putting off pilates til tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the girls and I are going to clean house some... do laundry, and then go pick up Meg's bike and Hannah's rollerblades from their dad's and go to the park. Hannah is all concerned about losing her fat..I guess me being obsessed with myself is not such a good thing... I know I am setting a good example, but I hate it that a 7 year old is pulling out my workout videos wanting to do them.. so she can be skinny like her little sister. Its not just me, she gets called fat at school by some kids.. one is a consistant bully to her and Megan, so I am going to have a talk with her teacher next week. Just hanging out at home is going to be our weekend.

Kempy.. you do need a laptop with a wireless connection.. that would be great. We miss having you around. I would love to come live with you... only if you babysit every now and then.... I would trade off that for motivation! I hope you have a great weekend... I've never been to a crawfish boil.. but it sounds great.....

OK... it's time for me to go crawl into bed... I"ve already instructed the little ones to NOT WAKE MOMMY UP in the morning... yeah right, we will see how long that lasts... there are fresh bananas for them to snack on before I get up and make breakfast.. so hopefully that will tie them over!

Talk to you ladies tomorrow!

Cherie

Good Morning... It's beautiful here, so I am trying to figure out something fun to do with the girls today. I would love to go rollerblading, but I don't have anyone to watch the girls for an hour. We will probably end up at the park somewhere.

Anyway... Just wanted to say hi.. hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cherie

Hey girls, Happy Saturday. I'm sure glad to have a day off, this week has wiped me out. Nothing planned really and Rick is working today so it's just me and the boy. I was reading the classifieds and saw a picture of my old car for sale at the dealer where we turned it in. They're selling it for $8700 Of course Kelly blue book said that it was worth about $7500 if selling it to a private party. I don't care...except that it makes me a little sad because it was my car, you know? It's silly. if you go to saturnhonolulu.com you can check out their used car inventory (Stock#-P02488B 01 Red Ford Focus wagon) and see it. All I had to do was look out my kitchen window and gaze at my Murano to feel happy again .

Cherie, enjoy your day with the girls. Are you renting movies this weekend? I liked both Hotel Rwanda and Finding Neverland but they're not for kids of course. I'm gonna hit Blockbuster this morning and see what's new. Sheesh, kids can be cruel can't they? I think it's great that you will speak to the girls' teacher's about what's going on w/the teasing and everything. I wasn't exactly the one being teased in school when I was little, but it was a big fear that I would be next! As far as that bully, I would try to catch him/her in the act and give 'em a little taste of their own medicine. (But that's just me)

Julie, did you say Gilad? I always see his show on TV and even though it is filmed here, it doesn't seem real to me. (Besides the fact that if I see an exercise show on TV I change the channel real fast ) I wouldn't say that he's really popular here but he's got a nice bod. You know, there aren't any 'new' kids movies out there yet. Only Robots and maybe the Pacifier...seen both already.

Kempy, enjoy your crawfish boil. Makes me want to eat some king crab legs (we have a pond out back w/ crawfish but I can't bring myself to eat them ) Yeah, you and Angie need laptops so you can chat w/us during the day. So what do you do in the salon while waiting for customers? (Angie and Jay throw day-old muffins around at each other)

Angie, what you up to girl? How's your weekend business? Did you get to show your house or is that today? Crossing my fingers for ya. I think that house you found has some great potential.

Gina, OMG horror of horrors, that molester guy should be shot. i have no mercy for people who endanger innocent children. I'm agree about Scott Savol too (since we're talking about scary things)...definitely looks like a serial killer

Here's a shout out to Cal, Summer, and all you others lurking out there. Holla!

Happy Sunday.... I just got off the treadmill and I'm resting up to get ready to take the girls to the mall.

Noelle.. I didn't rent any movies this weekend... I've just been watching what's been on TV. And I LOVE Gilad.. I have so many of his exercise videos. Now, they are about 10 years old... but in college, I used to work out to his 30 minute show every day.. him and Denise Austin. He must be getting old!

OK.. well, the shower is calling my name... and then it's Clinique time at the mall! I'll check in later tonight!

Cherie

Hello Everyone,

Just checking in. I was so busy with testing and now I'm starting to rest up a bit. I have been so tired lately and not sleeping very well. Only 7 more weeks of school.

Alberto's nephew in Italy wants to come out and spend the summer. He's a nice kid, a teenager. They don't get out of school until the first of July.

I'll post more later. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Cal

Hey girls, just checking in before bed. We went to a water park today. I feel a little overbaked even though I put a lot of sunscreen on. Michael had a blast and we bought annual passes so we can go as much as we want for the rest of the year, yay?! I don't really like the water but it's a nice way to spend a day w/family. Anyway, I'm beat. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Cal, wow only 7 more weeks of school? I guess my son's school is about the same. Then he'll be a 1st grader Where does the time go???

Have a good one everbody, chat more tomorrow. G'nite

Good Morning Everyone! :-) Happy Monday!

Cal.. it's great to hear from you again... glad to see you! Summer will be here before we all know it. Noelle, mine will go into Kindergarten and 2nd grade... geeze.. they are growing up way too fast.

The waterpark sounds like a blast. They have one of those here.. I might need to look into it this summer to take the girls. We do have a pool at our apartment, so we might just do a day of the amusement park instead.

I had a wonderful Sunday. I did my hour on the treadmill early, thinking that later during desperate housewives I could do another hour. After that, the girls and I got read and we headed out to the mall for a little while. They had fun, I got my clinique and my bonus gift and we had lunch there. Once we left the mall, we headed to the park where I let them ride bikes for about an hour. Hannah is getting better. We came home, and continued to clean a little around the apartment, and the girls played with their toys out on the balcony and I finally buckled down and did my pilates.

As I was making the girls sit down for their dinner, Alan instant messaged me asking if I had eaten yet... and no, I hadn't. So he said he would come over with dinner and a bottle of wine and we could watch Desperate Housewives together. Of course, I was all over that! Thankfully I had done my treadmill work earlier so I didn't feel guilty. So I had a wonderful dinner, Fazoli's baked ziti, three breadsticks.. (I looked up my meal, and it was almost 1000 calories with the wine! :0 ) and I had two glasses of our favorite wine, Ravenswood Cabernat. YUM!!!!!! I got dessert later, but it was the fat free variety! Anyway... Now that my week has started out great.. I hope the rest of the week stays great! He is working on his corvette this week trying to get everything put back on and ready to race. There is an event at a place called Hallet Speedway here in OK this coming weekend, so hopefully he will have the car ready and we can go to that. It will be his first event with this vette. So far, since I've known him.. he's been very patriotic.. he's had a Red, White and Blue vette! Love fast cars... wine... and handsome men! hehehehe.. OK.. I'll get back to work now!

Talk to you all later!
Cherie

Good Morning Girls

Cherie, you Alan sounds like a wonderful guy. Likeable, loveable, and ready to chances-racing cars!! How sweet he brought dinner over. He sure does sounds like a keeper . I love Clinque bonus days. I hate though that I buy a tube of lipstick and it is like one or two dollars under the limit to get the gift set. They know how to get us to buy more. But I like their prouducts. I heard their shampoo and conditioner Happy is suppose to be good and refreshing....I never smelled that fragrance though. I do like their aromatics elixor perfume. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I am happy for you and hope you have a great week too.

Noelle, water parks....we have a resort town here called Wisconsin Dells and it has tons of water parks. We were maybe thinking of taking the kids there, its about two hours away. I am glad you had a good time. When I woke up this morning my sweet dd saw one side of my face is bright red, I guess that is the side that was getting all the sun yesterday. The weather was beautiful. It is suppose to be in the seventies today. We need rain really bad though. You know what everytime I would sell one of my cars I would cry and cry when it would go. I get really attatched to things. I guess I just think of the memories. I know what you mean. I love Gilad. I think on the Fitness Channel he has got some new shows coming out. I will have to look into that. Girl, I hope you have a better week. Last one was rough, but I am praying for you for a good one this week.

Cal that is nice that your dh's nephew is coming in. Maybe he can help you out a bit with yard work and cleaning. Maybe not if he is a typical teenager . Just kidding, I am sure he is a wonderful kid .

Well the kids are tugging on me and I can hardly type. I will check back later. Got a little bit of excercise in this weekend, not as much as I wanted....but eating was OP. Hi to Angie, Kempy, Gina, Summer, Dips, and I hope I did not forget anyone. Check back later on. I hope everyone has a blessed and great Monday!!

Julie.. I used to sell Clinique, so I am totally sold on it. You like the bug spray huh? hehehe.. that is what we would call the elixor.... it is really handy taking off scotch tape off the glass counters! Happy is a fragrance I would let my daughters wear. I don't really care for it, but it's very light, sweet and well, Happy. I have used the conditioners and shampoos, and they seem to be OK.. but I prefer Biolage if I am going to be spending bucks on shampoos and conditioners... otherwise, Pantene works just fine. :-) And yes.. I think Alan is a keeper... this was the first time he initated coming over while the girls were there, so I feel there is hope... just gotta give him time. He is very generous and sweet.. and he makes me laugh.. I can tell very small changes in how he looks at me and talks to me... so I just have to practice patience. Which isn't a virtue of mine. Maybe in three more years of dating he might introduce me as his girlfriend. ;-) OK.. back to work!

Cherie, bug spray, hahahaha....I thought that was Avon's skin so soft,LOL.
From the way it sounds Alan thinks the world of you. I guess patience is the key to everything in life. It is so important to have a good sense of humor, it helps get you through the bumps in the road of life. Btw I am a pantene girl too. That is what I am using right now. I switch off from brand to brand. They say its good for your hair. Well just got done eating leftover chicken from last night, actually my dd's scraps she did not want. And I am having a cup of tea. I am trying to drink tons and tons of liquid.
Have a great day everyone....check back later on.
