Hi Chicks.
 

SuzyQ--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope you have a good one!! Is McDreamy planning something special?? Tell all the girls they have to be nice to you today!!

Sassy--I could tell you stories abot my psycho MIL, but she is going downhill. Both MIL and my stepmother are not doing well but my mom who is older by a few years than both of them bowls on Thursdays in a league, babysits Dominic on Mondays and volunteers and has a fun group of senior citizens that she goes to plays and trips with once a month.

Hi to everyone else...guess I have to get to work now!!

:wave: Good morning Starshines!!

Sassy~I agree about the Lays. I LOVE Salt & vinegar chips, I had to force myself to stop buying them, lol (although i cheated when we went to subway on sunday and bought a small bag. It tasted like heaven, lol). Have you ever thought about going to a personal shopper? Sometimes they're available for free. They'll help you find the right sizes and find stuff that looks good on you. I totally want one to help me find the right bra size. I think for that I'd have to go to JC Penny though.


Susan~:bday2you::celebrate::bday2: I hope you have a great day!!!




Alright..its another cold day here (it actually hailed twice yesterday, crazy). I'm gonna go to my living room, to do my morning walk. BBL!!

:bday2::celebrate::dance::getwell::goodluck:


Wow, I am exhausted. I always wanted to wish myself a Happy Birthday. I called my muther this morning and she started in on my sisters *issues* and I was dying to chat my *issues* and finally I blurt out "it's my birthday!" and muther replies "yes, I know....I was there."........lol,what a meanie.

Sassy - Cute on the moving, I can just see you lugging that tower upstairs!! lol How is your mother?? You want mine?? haha. I don't know anything about Michelle. Last I heard she was losing internet connection at her brother in laws???

Francie - I never seen the Devils Advocate. I liked Dustin Hoffman too when he was young. I guess McD was scraping ice off his car this morning but it seems nice and not too cold here in Portland. I LOVE lays, especially ranch flavor. Thanks for the B-D wishes!

Jules - Hugs to Teri, I am sorry it is such a hard time with her guy. No special plans w/ McD until the weekend. Thank you too for the wishes :)

Cristina - Thanks again for Starbucks , Gab and I went this morning and enjoyed bagels and coffee...of course she had hot chocolate. :) Hope you are enjoying your morning!

Mindee- What are you doing today??? Still catching up with your posting over the weekend. Have Gan here at my side so have to hurry.

Hi to Sue and Katy!!!


Taking Gab swimming in a sec, we went yesterday for 2 hours. Rach is happy to lay in bed and watch Tyra Banks on her day off....and I don't blame here. Very proud of her working and she likes her co workers.

Watched Bachelor last night and ate a bowl of oatmeal....I feel FAT. I really do, I am totally scared to get on the scale. Yikes. Anyway, taking it easy and enjoying Gaby.

Tonight is American Idol!! :) toodles for now......

I'm having a bad day!!!!!!!! First my computer keeps changing my background to say that theres spyware on my comp and that I need to download a scanner. But I already have one on my comp, and I keep running scans, and everything is perfectly fine, so I dunno what is up with that. Then my stupid cell phone company took out 80 bucks from my account. And because I bought something yesterday and it hasnt gone through yet, my account is gonna go negative now. I dont even know why they took out 80 bucks, I have it set up so I only pay 60 dollars. They keep over charging me for stupid stuff I dont even use. Plus, my card is EXPIRED!! Why must everything fall apart when Fonzo isnt here?!!?!?!?! I need chocolate!!



On the plus side though..I finally got around to calling Tiffany's and now my wedding band is gonna be shipped here tomorrow. YAY!! No more just wearing my engagment ring, lol.

Hello ladies...

Took me a while but I am caught up on all the posts now...you ladies were busy little chatting bees yesterday. I had planned on getting on the computer but we were gone most of the evening...left at 4:30 and got home about 10:15. Anyway...

SUSAN...you are welcome for the little something. I love your mom, too funny, lol! Yeah, I would have to say M is obessed with you. And you need to be assertive with him. For some reason I thought he knew about McD. Hey, maybe you can give Rach a foot rub, lol. How's she doing/liking the job? Forgot to say your avatar is cute...at first I thought it was Gaby. And sorry about the 2 pounds. :hug:See Susan, Jules knows what I am talking about the dead crap grass, :lol: I'm really not crazy! Or am I? :lol:

FRANCIE...I've not seen Across the Universe, but if it comes on cable I will. Originally, my reading goal started at 3-4 books a month but I was on a roll when I started in January and read 8 books and read 9 in February...this month I am struggling...just have had too much going on with the wedding stuff. I am currently on book 5 for the month of March, hoping to get this one finished and two more read before Monday. With the one I am reading it is #22. WTG on the workouts! :carrot:

JULES...a massage sounds so nice right now, I could use one myself. Glad it felt good! Lots fo hugs to you, I know it is going to be hard when Ry moves. At least he is thinking things thru...I wouldn't want to sleep on the floor either! Hugs to Teri as well. Hopefully, she will figure things out soon with Dave. :hug: :hug: I love you mom! I wanna be just like her when I get older. She reminds of Wanda, our neighbor at the other house...just getting around town doing all kinds of things. She was not one to sit in her house and do nothing, like I do now, lol.

SASSY...I've not heard from or about Michelle for quite a while. Last I heard she wasn't moving to Georgia. Geez louise woman...can they not make up their minds...move, don't move, move, don't move. Sorry your day started out not so good...hoping it got better. I would have gone back to bed and started over later, :lol: Glad you like the new clothes...you got quite the bargains didn't ya? YIKES! I was out mowing yesterday and you guys got snow....that is some crazy weather!

MINDEE...:lol: not sure why I thought they did real eggs because I have been to a few hunts and I know they always use the plastic ones, duh, lol. Not sure where my head was :lol: That would have been a LOT of eggs to color! Aaahhh, I love Eight Below...made me cry, seriously...I love dogs and hated that they had to leave them. I'm a big baby, what can I say. Your busy August month sounds like January for us...too many bros/sis/cousins/nieces & nephews BD's.

Hiya Sue :wave: hoping all is well with you and yours.

KATY...hope the fam is enjoying spring break.

Oh man, it is so nice out. I am getting ready to go mow the back since I didn't do it yesterday. It is only supposed to ge tup to 64...depending on what station you watch. But I think it hit that about 10 this morning. Too nice to be couped up inside.

I did get in my Denise Austin and 1 mile WATP this morning. Will do 10 minutes with the weights later and then a hour mowing the back. So that's a good day of exercise. Although, I never feel like mowing/yardwork is exercise.

Trying to get laundry done as well. I swear if I miss a day it piles up.

Have a good day! :hug:

HUGS FRANCIE! Sorry for the mess ups. Hope they/you get it straightend out. Seems like there is always something though eh? Glad you are going to get your wedding band soon though. Did you have to have it resized? :hug: :hug:

Cristina - I am ok with the 2 pounds gain, as long as it stays only 2 pounds. Just seems stressful w/ Rach and Gaby and all the men in my life.
Only the R's know about McD, maybe it would be a good time to tell Gaby's father??
Gab comes home from weekends and says " I want a brother....and a sister!!" omg- I go "and who is the father Daddy Doug or Daddy Mike???".....Oh, Daddy Mike she says.... fat chance. Ain't happening, my kitty is my baby.

Anyway - all your exercise talk is EXHAUSTING me woman!!! lol :stress::faint: haha

Francie - Cell phone companies are evil. :devil:

Sassy - Ya, second the moving thing w/ Michelle. She is here in Oregon. After that she wasn't going to be able to get on the BIL computer.

k- off to the pool.......

Susan...omg! Too funny...he's already got to Miss Gaby! Hey, maybe if you tell him he will back off. You know, I am okay with a 2 pound gain too...doesn't bother me but if the scale goes above that, ugh! I think I will die. I think I have just made the exercise a part of my daily life...on most days that is...that it is nothing to me. I've got to get focused again on losing, or rather my health. When I started this time I started losing because I focused on being healthy rather than losing. Then it turned into losing, I GOTTA lose, blah...I was obsessed with the scales and I quit that. But I have days where all I want to do is eat. Okay, not eat all day, but just eat what I want to eat...McDonalds, Burger King or whatever. I get tired of cooking and want to go out. But I haven't done too bad because I only gained the two pounds so...but I refuse to gain more than that. Maybe once I get to a goal where I will feel comfortable I will allow myself a range of 2-5 pounds. Anywho...gotta go mow and do some yard work. Can't miss the beautiful day...it's supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday.

Have a WONDERFUL Birthday missy!

Cristina~Across the Universe just came out on dvd..so it'll be awhile before its on cable. Maybe try pay-per-view? YAY for not buying plus size clothes anymore!! Yay for not being obese too!! Where did you find that scale/graph?? No, I didnt get it resized. When I took it in to be cleaned a few weeks ago, they said that one of the diamonds was loose. So it had to be fixed.



Susan~Yes, cell phone companies are evil. I've been on hold for a half an hour!! I'm about to hang up and try again tomorrow.

just popping in here quickly.....all three kiddos are up right now. the boys are watching the dvd of our wedding shower/wedding/reception. Marissa is eating some food right now. Tonight Tommy has lodge so I will be trying to figure out something for us for dinner.....and then it will be bedtime for the kiddos!!

Cristina~ They didn't finish watching Eight Below.....maybe later on I can get them to sit down and watch it.

Francie~ I hate when people/companies do that! It urks me to no end!

SusieQ~ Today, I am not doing anything too exciting! Tomorrow is Brandon and Logan's recheck from when they were sick. Brandon is going to get his physical done and get one shot. Then he will go back on April 30th and get the rest of the shots that he needs!

I did 46 minutes of cardio last night.....I was going to do 60 minutes.....but I wasn't sure if I would have been able to handle the full 60 minutes! I am going to try again soon to see if I can stick it out!

Across the Universe is available on the Comcast New Releases section here in MI for $4 or $6 I think

Hola everyone. Just stopping by to say Hey :wave: I'm seriously bored right now. I ended up looking at my SIL's myspace (we despise each other). And Fonzo's lil brothers have grown up so much. They're such lil cuties. It makes me sad, I miss them. They're so funny. I stole the pics from her page and sent them to Fonzo, lol. He'll probably get sad looking at them..he misses his brothers. Too bad his sisters have to be so evil. LoL!!

Mindee~I was on hold with the phone company forever!!!!! I never got through. :mad: I'm gonna call back tomorrow. I hate that phone company. And its like $175 to end my contract. LAME!! Woot for doing the cardio!!



Oh, I 4got to mention. Last night I used my exersise ball to do some push ups & crunches. I was gonna do 20 each..but ended up doing 10 each, lol. My arms were killing me afterwards. I'm gonna do some more tonight.

Just a quick Good Morning, ladies!

Need to go get ready but I thought I would drop by here first. Tried to get on last night about 10'ish and it wasn't having it, lol. It said the server was busy..then I finally signed in, and never could get to an actually page so just signed off the computer all together. I was pooped anyway.

Anyway...need to go make the bed and get ready. Miss Charlotte is coming over about 11 and we are going to lunch. This is what I mean about myspace...goofy girl. Asked me to lunch on myspace...well, if I wouldn't have gotten on the computer last night I would have not known until today. Only reason I am on now is she was going to get back with me and I told her I would check it this morning first thing, lol. Anyway...hope she doesn't want me to go shopping with her...my feet are killing me. It took me longer to mow the back yard than I thought and I do not know why my feet hurt so bad after. It was like I was on them all day yesterday but I wasn't. Definitely going to have to go to the doc about that.

Anyone watch Biggest Loser? And did you see it last night? If so what did you think about Dan being kicked off? They made me mad taunting the women and Roger saying something stupid about the women whining and he said wah, wah, wah...well it bite them in the arse in the end, no pun intended, lol! Roger needs to go next...he is just too darn cocky! I think he honestly thinks he is going to win, ugh! Anyway...yay to the women! :yay: :yay:

Okay, so much for a quickie! I may do 15 minutes of exercise but that will probably be it for the day...taking a break.

I'll be back...take care ladies, and have a GREAT day! Love ya's :hug:
