Cristina~Omg 90 mins!! Thats so awesome!!!!! Thanks, I'm gonna keep my ring as it is..but still complain to the store, lol. They should know that they messed up. Dh thought it was funny how I wished all the diamonds were pink now, lol. Glad you liked the ship vids. That Rod Stewart song gets to me everytime, lol. I'll tell dh He's an EN (engineman) in the Navy. Basically thats like being a mechanic in the navy, lol.



Okay...now I'm really gonna go eat dinner now, LOL!! I need to step away from the computer.

Yeah, I liked the song too...and love Rod Stewart! As a matter of fact I just bought his Greatest Hits CD and I have some others. It was weird looking at the ship and seeing all the people from the distance they took it...they looked like a bunch of ants...soo tiny! Doesn't matter what they do in the service...I think all the jobs are important ones! I imagine he is a fine EN! I was just curious cause I couldn't remember if you mentioned before or not. Have you guys found out where you will be going yet?

GO eat dinner missy! I forget about the time difference...it's 9:30 here!

Have a good night!

LoL!! That ship is sooooooooooooo HUGE!! And dh works near the bottom too. Insane. I hate going on there. And its so scary to be on the very top. I looked down once and it felt like I was going to fall. Actually..before the last deployment, some dude jumped from the top and broke his ribs. No..we havent found out where we're going yet. The last list they gave us was HORRIBLE!! Everything was for VA or FL.


Anyways..I'm gonna go back to doing my nails and watching Amnesia, lol.

well, it is safe to say that the race is on and so far Brandon is in first place! and by race, I mean the race to potty training!

we went to Wal-Mart tonight and got them each their own potty chair that sits on the floor. we have been attempting to use the one that goes over the big toilet, and neither one of them have been two enthused with it lately. so, I figured that if we got them each their own potty, then they would want to go on it more often, and that way we can kill two birds with one stone and get them both potty trained at the same time!

well, we got home, and they both instantly wanted to sit on it after daddy got them put together. Brandon for some reason had to strip all the way down to being naked to sit on his, so of course Logan had to follow suit. Sure enough, Brandon went potty on the potty. So, he got to put two stickers on his almost filled potty chart. Logan wanted to put some on his, but we had to tell him that he had to go potty on his potty in order to get them. Tommy came in with the stickers and asked if Logan had gone, and I said "well, if farting counts, then yeah he did!"

So, now we are on the path to getting them potty trained! we picked them up some pull ups. Logan will get pull ups during the day and a diaper at night time. we are even going to cut back on them getting their cups right before bed, since like Tommy pointed out, that is why they go potty so much at night!

It felt weird walking through Wal-Mart with a basket full of potty training supplies, lunch meat, bread, and stuff for dinner for Saturday night! But, it felt even weirder walking through the store with a notebook of paper and a thermometer for temping!

for the past couple of months, things have been getting so chaotic around here, that we have had a couple of months with the thought in our heads of "is she going to come this month? are we that percentage that a tubal doesn't work for?" and this is now going to put an end to all those guessing games! Tommy kept telling me "why do we need to buy that? when you had the surgery for a reason." I kept telling him all through Wal-Mart that I don't want to play the "is she going to come? is she not going to show?" every month! I want to know for a fact that I can go back to knowing exactly when she is going to show up so I won't have to get that inkling that we might have another baby. (I know I know.....I am getting way ahead of myself....but after I had signed the papers to get the procedure done, I did check to see what the percentages were!) so I will be starting that all over again in the morning! I need to get back into the habit of getting up early to get Brandon ready for school anyways.....so why not start with taking my temp first, and then going about my day!

Francie~ Yup that does look pink to me! But I think it would look cool, and that way you can say that you have a unique ring! Tommy's wedding band was a goof up on account of the jewelry store.....and now they MAKE the rings! let me see if I can find a link on their website......

As for the work out dvd's I have to have something that will keep me interested and not sitting there staring at the counter! I have a catalog as they call it from a place online that is nothing BUT workout dvd's! I got it a couple weeks ago, but just now had the time to sit and look through it!

Cristina~ I am kind of dreading the training of both of them at the same time, but Logan was really excited that Brandon went on the potty and he say the excitement that went along with it. So, I am hoping that he takes suit and follows right along with him! I did mention above, though that he is getting diapers only at bedtime, which I am sure is a big time no no.....but we have a full pack of them that I just put in the closet and I am sure that it will take him some time to pick up on things. (now watch that since I said that they will both be potty trained by B and M's birthday party next month!)

SusieQ~ Tommy says that I coddle Brandon....and that I don't let him do things on his own. The only thing that I really only help him do is get his cup, and then when it comes time for naps and bedtime. But I think that is more so because that gives me some time with him. And since he is in school now, I really don't have that much time with him. I love watching DWTS! I just wish I had HIPS like the girls on there! (they have to be able to move like that or I will not accept them!)

Mindee~Interesting..what is the mag?? Wow, I wanna see Tommy's ring now. Fonzo's ring is all scratched up because he doesnt take it off while working, lol. I'm getting used to the pink diamond. I keep looking at it though. I wish I had one of those jewelry magnifiers or whatever its called so I can see it close up, lol. The diamond is even a tiny bit bigger than the other ones, lol.



Anyhoo...I'm kinda tired right now. I wanna go to bed, but Fonzo is emailing me right now. Thank God he's back in WA and not on some crazy schedule like last year. When he was on the other side of the world..I would wait up until 6am just to "chat" with him in emails, lol. But he'll be coming home in a few hours-woohoo!!! I cant wait. I wanna stay up and wait for him..but I'm sure I'll be awake by the time he gets home in the morning.

Francie~ It is actually a site online that I had then send me the magazine.....not sure if it will work on here.....but search for Collage Video.

and as for Tommy's ring, let me see if I can find it.....

hopefully this works....

and here is another shot of it.....

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...rrent=f9cc.jpg

I meant to post to that because they screwed up on his ring, they told us that he would have a one of a kind ring.....then come to find out after we had gotten married that they started to make the rings to sell! tommy was bummed and when we went back to get my ring inspected and cleaned, he asked if he could get some loyalties since his is the original....and you can see how far that went!

oh man..that sucks. they totally stole his idea then. my engagement ring is one of kind. Fonzo designed it himself..I keep looking for it at the jewelry store he bought it from, but I've never seen one like it. I'd feel pretty bummed too.


btw, the first pic was beautiful!!! me & dh didnt even take pics with our rings, because he had just gotten back from deployment a month before we got married. and he had lost so much weight, that his ring didnt fit him. its probably too late to do it now, lol. although, my bouquet was dried and is in a beautiful shadow box, so hmm..maybe we could pull it off? LoL!!

Good morning starshines!!


Just wanted to pop in really fast. Fonzo came home at 5am and woke me up, lol. I'm debating whether or not to work out right now. I mean, I'm really really sleepy and enjoying my Us mag right now, lol (my other husband is on the cover with Fonzo's other wife, lol). I know that tomorrow I wont work out at all, lol. I dunno..either way, on monday I'm gonna be busting my butt big time!!! (btw, I'm seriously craving a pastelitos right now!! Anyone ever have one of those before? Mmm I want one so bad I can taste it and smell it, lol.)

Anyways..I shall go now. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Good Morning -

Sassy How is your weekend?

Katy - Hey Beach Bum, you ever coming home from the coast!? Miss you.

Jules - It is FREEZING here! Snowed yesterday and this morning. Can't wait for your son to get here in Portland, hope he likes it Hugs to you and Teri.

Francie - Who is your other husband?? Because my boyfriend is always on the mags w/ the ugly chick Angelina Jolie. Brad feels sorry for her so I can understand, I guess so much so he keeps having babies w/ her. lol

*goofy on diet pepsi* because normally I wouldn't have asked if those were your nails and I wouldn't have asked Crsitina what soap she used in washing. Just that my mind is racing and I HAVE to chatter about something.

anyway - the ring is beautiful regardless of the pink in there, makes it special!

Mindee- What is w/ the temp thing?? Do I have to go back and read?? You thinking of another baby or something else?? lol Those lady dancers have bodies I could only dream to have....I love looking at their toned backs....

Cristina - I didn't know you still had a full house! Awesome on the exercise and cute on Cambrie coming for a sleep over!!
Yes, Gab is gone for the looooong weekend. It should be a Saturday pick up time but I had her all week and she was starting to say "you're mean" because I want her her brushed and refuse to be at the pool 24/7. When her father picked her up she had packed her suit and goggles and said "I want to go swimming!" and he said no and she ran behind the couch and said she wanted to stay w/ mommy.
Geepers........so, we got her in the car. I missed her last night though.

So, what do I do w/ my time on the weekends?? I sleep. lol I have been staying up til 4am all week and I fell asleep last night at 9pm.
I did my toe nails but not my finger nails because I couldn't find the clipper. I played w/ the kitties and chatted w/ McD on the phone. Decided just to wait and see him tonight because he had to get up early for a Saturday @ work. Just as will because I was pooped and not in the mood to be social. Rach came in at 10pm from her friends up the street and was a BEAR to wake up this morning for work at 6:30am.
I clean the apt on weekends and catch up on laundry, might go look at the second hand stores for a bargain....just meander and try to stay out of trouble. Weekends go fast though!!!! I will meet Gab at the pool tomorrow and let her swim for a bit and come home and get her ready for school on Monday.
My mom did call this morning saying what time we were going out for my birthday dinner and I called back saying I had a date tonight. She goes "your life is so complicated as it is"...she is not happy that I date - ever.
I suppose I should just be a spinster and play w/ my kitties on a Friday night (which I did do last night , come to think of it ) . I have a 46 year old sister that never dates, doesn't drive and is boring as **** but if Sis was dating that would be ok...just because I have EX's I have had my chance?? hmmm, no wonder I feel guilty dating.....and forget about having SEX.....omyyyygod.....that would make *mom* come unglued. lol

k- Adios.....I am going to meander now

Susan~My other hubby is Jake Gyllenhaal..and he is dating Fonzo's other wife, Reese Witherspoon. LoL!! Brad is my other husband too. I actually have like 5 other husbands. Jake, Brad, Johnny, Orlando, & Shia (but he's more like my lover since he's a younger than me, lol).




Well..I did get in my walk this morning. I only did 1 mile and then I passed out until 11am. Then we went for Arby's. And I'm proud of myself because I only ate what I ordered and nothing more. I didnt get the shake, even though I wanted to. Then we watched the Aristocats. So right now, we're both gonna be WATP. LoL!! It should be interesting because he's never done it before. Lets see if McSailor can keep up with me. BBL..

Quick hello..Hope you are all enjoying the week-end. I am just getting ready to read until I fall asleep. Real exciting aren't I? My DH thinks so...lol. ZZZZZZZZ

Have a happy Sunday.

Ughhhhh I've been bad this whole weekend!!!!! I ate the Arby's (which was like heaven in a bag, lol) Then dh & I tried to do WATP together, and he was making me laugh so hard I could only make it to mile 2, lol.

Then last night we were watching Superbad for the millionth time, Fonzo was all "Lets drink!!" And at first, I was like.."nooo we cant drink its almost midnight" But then I remembered that I hadnt had a drink in MONTHS and I'm not an alcoholic or anything, I just like to have fun. So ya..we started taking shots of mostly everything liquor we had. I'm such a lightweight, I was pretty wasted pretty quickly. Then dh made me a pina colada, which has 170 calories!! WTF!! Not to mention the moijos has like 80. Geez..I didnt even know that. I checked the other bottles, and they didnt have any nutrition labels on them. So I thought that was kinda weird, lol. I'm so lucky I'm not hungover today. I woke up at 4am and I was STILL drunk, LOL!!! I dunno how Fonzo is right now. He's still asleep. He's a really bad influence on me. LoL!!

So between the Arby's and the drinking..I'm gonna have to really really work my butt off today and tomorrow. But the thing is..I havent gained or lost anything. Weird. I hate maintaining, but I guess its better than gaining. Fonzo owes me a major walk around the base today!!!

OH and another thing..I cant use the lactose milk in my cereal anymore. I cant use regular milk, and I cant use lactose milk. BOTH make me really sick!!!! This sucks!!!!!!!!

Afternoon -

I drank wine Francie last night, kind of on the tipsy side myself. I don't know why I do that, wine is not water - I can't chug it like it is...ha. I am sure you will get right back on track!

Hi Sue -

So, had a wonderful time w/ McDreamy last night. He made a chicken pasta dish and we chatted. He called at 8am this morning and said come over for pancakes, so I ran. I LOVE pancakes!! He has nifty gadgets in his kitchen, it is fun to watch him cook. I did the dishes, so I was pulling my own weight. Last night though I sat and drank wine and was totally blitzed. Made it home and sipped ice water, I couldn't sleep and by 8am the room had slowed from spinng around. lol Geepers.

Was close to 163 yesterday, didn't weigh today, too scared. lol Maybe I will try Tuesday and see if it hit 163.

Gab is coming home in a bit, missssss her sooooo much.

Just wanted to say hello and catch you all later!!

hello ladies...how are you all doing?

nothing really interesting on this end! I did manage to make it through the kids toys. I threw out three bags of toys that are either broken or they don't play with anymore!!! I am so happy about that! I folded and put away our laundry. I still have to fold and put away the kids' laundry. I have one empty tote that I am going to try and put all the bigger clothes for Brandon in and then that will go down into the basement! I missed him being in school.....I was able to get so much done that way!

I did however do really well with potty training the boys over the weekend. Brandon went a couple of times on the potty. Logan went next to the potty and in the bath tub, so I guess that counts for something! Now, I just need to get back on track with my eating and water drinking as well as my exercising! I am not sure if I will get my work out in after I ship Brandon off to school in the morning. One of the maintenace guys will be coming over to replace our bathroom floor! It is starting to dip near the bath tub, and before it gets too bad we are going to have them fix it! The guy that is going to do it, told the office manager that he might as well just replace the whole floor instead of just the one area. Our office manager did tell us that we could use her shower if it takes longer then a day to fix it!

I need to cut this short and get into the shower!

Francie~ Sounds like you had a great weekend! I haven't had a legal drink since before I got pregnant with Brandon! I found out I was pregnant with him the day after I turned 21, so I wasn't able to drink. Tommy owes me a night of me being drunk and him taking care of the kids! He always says "that won't take but one drink, and you will be drunk."

SusieQ~ Nope, we are not planning on any more kids. I want to get back into temping so that I don't have to guess at when AF is coming into town, I will know when she will be here. I used to do it when we got pregnant with Brandon and Logan, but then life turned upside down and things got too chaotic! I sat down a couple months ago and actually figured out that I have been pregnant every year since 2003! (excluding this year)
