Back In Kindergarten #39
 

Hello and :welcome: to the Back In Kindergarten thread!

"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......"

You are welcome to join us in our chatter about life and our weight loss journey! So please grab your coffee/water/diet coke or whatever your drink of choice is, and pull up a chair and join us. :coffee: :cofdate: :coffee2:

Cristina -
Thanks for the new thread! :)

I have to get off my butt and go get Rach a vanilla bean latte something or another. Yesterday I got it wrong, she is going to keep sending me back until I get it right. haha
Going to spend time w/ Gab and get her attitude adjusted,she isn't a baby anymore....she is like a pre,pre,pre teen. ugh.

Going to go get some chicken for lunch and cottage cheese.
Meant to say too that I liked Carly & David from last nights Americal Idol.

k- later chicks.

darn it! SusieQ beat me in here!

nothing really new on this end.....Tommy called me and told me that he got a "promotion" at work! he is now at a different shop working from 7am to 5pm instead of 4am to 4pm! He is hoping to have Saturday off so we can take the kids to an Easter Egg hunt. I am catching up on my AI from last night. Brandon did this really cute picture at school today. It was an Easter Bunny with a poem next to it, and the bunny's ears were Brandon's foot prints! It is really cute and it is one that I am going to treasure forever! After Easter, Tommy has mentioned that we are going to get a family picture done. We will also have to get Logan and Marissa pictures done by themselves. It is a tradition since my mom had my oldest sister that for every girls first birthday, they are photographed in the famous yellow dress. I have the yellow dress and I can't wait to get her picture taken in it! I am hoping that she will have enough hair to put into some kind of pony tail or some cute little barrettes.

Sassy~ I hope you guys don't float away! I heard on the news that Ohio is under Flood Watch or Warning, I can't remember which one right now. Thanks for that article.

Jules~ I hope that you can figure out which one it is.....I would love to have a massage right now! But then again, I would love to have one done once a day if it were at all possible!

Cristina~ I have the Biggest Loser: Cardio Max workout dvd, and boy is it a work out! Right now I am doing the level one workout and boy let me tell you Bob Harper can kick your butt in no time! I have been doing it every day (except for last Saturday and Sunday) and I found something today......my abs! When I talked to Tommy at his 9:30 break this morning, I told him that I had abs of fire.

Katy~ I hope you all feel better and stay that way! I have a feeling that these kids of mine will be sick for the next week....so I am kind of glad that Brandon has Spring break next time! And so therefore I am hoping that he will be 100% healthy when he goes back to school!

SusieQ~ I have noticed that if Brandon is around, well any of my kids actually, older kids, the attitudes of the older kids rub off on my kids. Especially if we go up to my parents house and the boys are playing with my younger brother Sean. I will try and figure out how to post his school picture when we get them....I am hoping that I can see it online after we get them in 2-3 weeks! Nope, we didn't get one with the Easter Bunny. That was actually this past Sunday, and in all honesty I forgot all about it even though it was written on the calendar! OOPS!

I have to agree SusieQ......I haven't seen them all yet, but I would agree that David and Carly are great! I think that it will come down to the two of them. My pick for top three would be Jason Castro, David Cook and Carly Smithson.

And I hope that Amanda goes soon! I had to agree with Simon's comments about her needing to change her voice technique and to sing something different WITHOUT adding the bluesy stuff to it.

Okay, I am back...

Started a new thread since we were close to the 100 posts, hope that's okay.

No luck finding anything, well, for DD, lol. She didn't find a sweater, er, cardigan...whatever, lol. So I had the one to exchange or get a refund and exchanged for a pair of capri's for me, lol. Ran by the grocery store to get milk and a couple of other things even though I buy groceries tomorrow. Went ahead and bought a ham for Easter dinner. I haven't cooked anything for Easter in I don't know how long. Not going to be anything special, just ham, potatoes, rolls and I don't know what else...nothing like having a plan eh?

SUSAN...just put your foot down missy and tell the ex no! You want Gaby for Easter. It's a fun one and I would want her for Easter too! Of course I would never want to share her so with me he would be out of luck, lol. Kidding...I know you guys have to have a civil relationship for the sake of Gaby but still....and I meant what I said...you ARE a sweetie!

JULES...good to see you checking in lady. Aaahhhhh, a massage, and a visit to the chiro....both sound so relaxing right now. I woke in a pi&&y mood but once I started exercising I think I worked it away, sort of.

KATY...glad the kids are well :crossed: Enjoy your visit with your momma and to Lincoln, have to look it up and see where you and SuzyQare talking about.

SASSY...I can't keep cookies around here, I will eat too many. I think sweets are my downfall so I just buy bananas and granola bars to satisfy me. I could eat bananas all day, lol. Going to have to check out this guys plan/program. Any plan you can eat cheeseburgers and fries sounds good to me! Sorry don't have any suggestions for movies. Last I looked there was nothing playing that I wanted to see and haven't seen much of anything advertised. Hopefully, you find something you guys want to see.

MINDEE...another cute avatar! Love the costumes, especially the care bear one...loved the care bears since the kids were little. Hey, we learn something new everyday...here I always thought purse snatchers went after the ones with the longer straps. Hoping you do post the school pic of Brandon and can't beleive their BD's are almost here!

SUE...hope it's warmed up for ya and the rain has stopped!

Anywho...I probably should go look some more for a song. Still undecided. I want to find the 'perfect' one, if there is such a thing. Well, there is, just the two I like sound kind of depressing. It's supposed to be a happy occasion. not depressing. I don't want to be crying all night. And I need to find a recipe for a pistacchio (sp? too lazy to see if it's correct) salad I want to fix for Sunday.

Take care ladies, and have a GREAT day!:hug:

Mindee-
On the run! Sorry about posting before you, I couldn't contain myself from posting - :)
Krsity Lee has to go before Amanda, she does really odd things w/ her eyes. I don't care if she is from Oregon. lol
Congrats on the promotion!!
bbl,...

Hey....no fair! You ladies beat me! :lol:

HIYA SUSAN! :wave: Now go give Gaby that adjustment, lol. You are welcome for the new thread...its the least I can do and I had time so...

MINDEE...isn't it weird you you feel things you haven't in such a long time? I actually found my hips and collar bone, lol. :yay: to Tommy getting a promotion! :carrot: Love the yellow dress tradition!

Have a good one ladies!

Cristina - crap girl....I need to go, people keep sneaking in. :) Sorry you didn't find anything w/ the shopping, means you can go out again - haha. Easter is mine! I need *Gaby time* and get her back in line....
k- starving - bbl

Susan...go, go do whatcha gotta do, go eat! No, no more going out. I think we have definitely had our fill of shopping, ugh! I really don't like shopping, lol...serious!

just popping back in.....

SusieQ~ Not a problem about beating me in here. I figured that someone would since I was writing a novel like I usually do! LOL We usually have to have a "retraining" phase with the boys after we go up to my parents house because they start to act like my younger brother Sean.

Cristina~ Thanks about my avatar. The costumes, will more then likely be reversed though at actual Halloween time! The Care Bear costume is too tight on Brandon, and the Elmo is too big for Logan. So, hopefully they have a change of heart when it comes time to put them on! But then again, isn't that how it normally goes? The kids tend to want the one that is too big or too small for them? In all honesty, I don't think I have ever felt my abs like I am feeling them now. I didn't even feel them like I am now when I was in high school and had to take gym freshman year! I have found my stomach area as well! I have never had a flat belly, but I am getting really close to one now!

As for AI......I have to agree....Kristy Lee has to go at some time.....but I just hope Amanda goes first! My hubby keeps rooting for Kristy Lee......I guess because she is a blond.

I have a little Cheese Puff eating machine next to me. The boys are watching Dora OnDemand, and Marissa is trying to see if she can eat the whole bag of cheese puffs herself! She is turning around in the high chair to try and find where I keep pulling them from!

Good soggy afternoon. I had a nice lunch and visit with my BFF. Applebee's for soup and salad. I didn't even have a margarita today. I am so good! We went to Hobby LObby and Kohl's. Gosh HL has 50% off most of their decorative items and some are so lovely. I bought 2 pieces of pottery and a ceramic ball. Hope they all look good on my empty pot shelf.
SusieQ- Yes, my kids are grown. DD#1 lives here and is 42. She has two of my "grands" and 3 of my step "grands." Her two are a 21 y.o son and 17 y.o daughter. DD is such a help to me with looking after things here when we travel. And just a real joy..as are all my kids, of course.
DD#2 is 39 and in CA and has 2 sons. The oldest is 18 and the "baby grand" is 7. She also has a step-DD who is 10. I talk to her often and IM, but sure miss them. The 18 y.o. lives here.
DS is going to be 28 Fri. He is in CA, has his own business and is almost finished with law school. He lives and has the business with my step son who is 37, Both of them are single.
So see...I really am "over the hill." Most of you on here could be my child!

Okay..now I talked so long I don't have time for the other indies. I will be back. And ya'll be good until I do.

just popping in to check on everyone....I will be back tomorrow, well later today since it is after midnight!

Just a quick Hi while I wait for the lazy girl to get up. Got 45 mns of exercise in and now I am doing the waiting game...so HATE waiting on people! Going to go buy groceries...thank goodness I don't have much to get because I am tired of all the running. I need a break for sure. Anyway...then I am running to the scrapbook store to see if they have a wedding album. Thought I would make one for J & C for Christmas...ha, it will take that long to get it together, lol. Anywho...will be back to do individuals. Have a good day!

Just poppin in to say Hi to everyone :wave:

Morning lassies...Quick note for SusieQ. Are you watching the new Bachelor? I know you loved the show in the past. Anyway, I think he is a doll...and with the British accent, so yummy. But, the reason for going there is to say he was just on Ellen. He said he DID fall in love and he DID pick one of the girls. (and he thought the panties in his pocket was a gross move) LOL. I am hoping that he doesn't so something totally stupid in the coming weeks to make me dis-like him. They usually do! It's a man thing.
Some of those girls were really bad though!

Okay...off to get started on some house work. Back soon.

Good Morning -

You're so funny Sue! I think all the Bachelor girls are bad and doing panty stuffing pocket moves because all the girls are plastered, they are always drinking. I missed the first show (I did see the "where are they know" one) because I fell alspeep w/ Gab. Rach watched it and told me about the panties. lol - yuck. He is dreamy, I am glad he found someone - look forward to the next show! You're not over the hill! :D All this talk about Kohl's I really need to see where a store is in the Portland area.

Francie - Great to see you here, let the Shopaholic chatter begin! :) I can't wait to get into the first Jane Green book tonight! Hope you are having a good week up north. :D

Mindee- yum, I love cheese puff's, so does Gaby. I like to suck on day old ones.....lol- kind of gives em a chewy moldy taste. You got your wish on Amanda!!! I was surprsied. I thought she was talented, even though she needed a hair makeover. I hate to say it but Kristy Lee is kind of growing on me, I feel so bad for the pressure she must be under to always be in the bottom 3 - lol. Very shocked about Carly being there last night! Maybe people voting just figured she would be ok??

Cristina - I hope you are enjoying your morning! I went and picked up more chicken and cottage cheese myself. I also went to my mom's and picked up her house key. She is leaving today for the coast and I asked if I could come over and hide from Rachel. haha.....so, I might go there tomorrow night and enjoy her steaks and chocolate drawer. Gab went today w/ tangled hair, refuses to let me comb it. We both are in tears by the time we get in the car and her little lip trembles saying "you still like me??" Of course I like her.....poor thing. I am not sure about Gab's father and Easter yet......he is so dang pushy. anyway - I hope you are having a good day too!!

Hi to Sassy, Jules, Katy and Michelle!!

So, I had the usual slim fast and banana for breakfast. My hopes of 160 by Friday has turned into just wanting to maintain. lol *sigh - just kind of into the munchies right now. We are having better weather so I know I should be getting out and walking more to really reach goal. So, I won't whine too much.

anyway - better scram! Chat later. :D

Ever have one of those days where you really do feel like you are back in school playing stupid mind games? Especially when they are the ones playing them? Geez, some people! I have no use for people like that in my life and why they think I would attempt to contact them is beyond me. Some people need to grow up and act their age...it really is ridiculous that a grown woman or women act like school age girls, heck I didn't even act that when I was in grade, jr high or high school and I sure won't act that way now. Had my fill of the drama for sure...NO MORE DRAMA in my life!! Moving on...

HIYA FRANCIE...good to see ya checking in! Hope you are having a good day!

SUE...I've not watched the Bachelor but I did see on a couple of shows where they said "What, are there no good men in the US?" Makes ya wonder...but I guess they wanted something different. You just reminded me I should have looked at Hobby Lobby for wedding day stickers and such for the scrapbook!

MINDEE...well, whoever wears the costume will be adorable in it...they both are too cute!

SUSAN...any plans for Spring Break? And THANK YOU so much for the books! :thanks: :hug: I may be reading those next and Kite Runner may have to wait even longer, lol.

HIYA JULES, SASSY, & KATY, and anyone reading this!:wave:

Got my shopping done and man was Wal-Mart full. At least they had enough cashiers this time. They don't normally have near enough in the early morning. Spent too much time in the scrapbook store before heading to Wal-mart and now I just feel so pooped! I think I am going to have to go to the doc and have my foot checked out...it is killing me...it's the top of it and not the bottom. it's frustrating me for sure. I am still exercising and I am sure that it is not helping matters, oh well. I refuse to quit exercising. They will have to cut my foot off for me to quit, lol. Anyway...

I am going to go read a little here, head on over to another site and maybe do some reading and scrapbooking today, who knows. Such a beautiful day today I hate to be couped up inside.

Have a great one ladies!

Susan...I wish I could say I am enjoying my day. If my foot and body would quit hurting. I'm telling ya, that Denise Austin dvd is a killer...I feel it in every muscle in my body. Eat some choc for me! I didn't buy anything sweet to eat and now I am wanting something, wah! Gotta watch it though or I won't be getting into that dress for the wedding...then I will be screwed because I have nothing else to wear.

Meant to ask what Jane Green book are you reading? I read Jemima J and liked it. Kind of reminded me of the Shopaholic one I started last night except she likes to eat instead of shop, lol. Just got to chapter 2 before I got sleepy last night. Again, thanks for the books, I appreciate them!

Ahhh, poor Gaby, and you...no crying! You should have said, "No, I don't like you, I LOVE YOU silly girl!" I used to say that to the kids when they would ask if I still like them. I miss them being little but hey, I have grandkids now. OMG, that makes me sounds sooooo old!

Okay, better get going or I won't get anything done today.Want to post a little or at least read a little on the general thread.

Have a great day missy! And everyone else too! :hug:

Hola!! :carrot:



Susan~YAY For Shopaholic chatter!! LoL!! Theres a Shopaholic group on myspace, as well as several chick lit groups. I'm in a few of them, lol. I cant wait for you to read your first Jane Green book. She's coming out with a new book soon!! I cannot wait for that!!

Cristina~We grocery shop at Walmart too. We usually go after 10pm (after we get paid) and its empty. But this time, we went the next day and it was so packed. I hated it, lol. I dont do well in crowds. Dont cut your foot off, that would be bad, lol. Maybe it needs to be popped or something. I know that sounds weird, but I can pop my feet, LOL!! It creeps dh out!! haha!!


Hey to everyone else :wave:




Anyhoo..I'm sooooooooo bored & tired right now. I have no motivation to do anything. I wanna go back to bed, but I dont wanna sleep the day away. I should be doing laundry, but I really dont feel like it, lol. Maybe its cuz I dont want Fonzo to leave. I've been singing "Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be/'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"/And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee" and "Kiss me, sailor, before you go out the door/ Whoa whoa, bye bye sailor boy/ cause its Anchors aweigh once more " all morning. I know he's not gonna be gone long..I've been saying that over and over. But I hate it when he's gone. He just got back from a deployment 7 months ago!!!!!!!!!! :tantrum: Okay..I'm gonna go calm down in front of the tv before I start to cry. Sorry for whinning.

I am back for a sec (oh joy.....I know and you thought I had a life *snicker*)

Mindee - Where are you?? Thought you would be here posting by now!!!

Cristina - You got the books already? Wow, that was fast. Ya, I know about the mind game people :hug::hug: Hope your foot is feeling better!!
I never make it to a Wal Mart, I am sure I have said in the past Wal Mart is on the other side of town and I don't make it over there as much. We do have a Kmart close by or Target.
I am reading Jemima J, it came in first on the library holds this morning. I took Gab to the playland at Burger King and managed to read up to 156!! It is a cute book and I soooo wish I had a friend like Geraldine that would help air brush my heavy pictures....haha. No, I have no real plans for spring break, just a lot of swimming for Gaby.

Francie - :hug::hug: I am sorry about the deployement thing - that must be a heartbreaker. You have him now though!! hmmm, did that help?? Probably not....:) I am enjoying the book, I have half the book still to read - probably stay up tonight and finish it.

Ugh - Beck just showed up w/ her frined Olivia. I will have to cart them home. Rach got the job!! She passed the drug test, she was surprised, which makes me wonder. ha. I need to take her for new shoes and a white polo shirt for work.

Feeling my heart flutter all afternoon, makes me worried.....what does that mean?? Wonderful how I sit here w/ no medical coverage. *sigh.
Had chicken and cottage cheese for dinner. I am going to pack my things and Gab and I will head to my mothers tomorrow after I get her out of school. I might even take my cat so he can see my mothers kitties...since I got my kitty from her in the first place. It'll be a kitty reunion :D

Nope.....this is about as exciting as my life gets.....haha

Susan~He's not really leaving on a deployment. Its just a workup. But a seperation is a seperation. Good luck finishing the book tonight. :) My heart flutters sometimes too. When I had surgery in '06, they kept me in the hospital longer and kept doing EKG's on me. But I guess nothing was wrong. I had a EKG done last year too..and yet again nothing was wrong. So I dunno what it means. Maybe you're nervous about something?



Nothing much is going on right now. Just finishing up dh's laundry for tomorrow. We took a extra long nap and missed dinnertime. Which is fine, I feel sick to my stomach right now, and can only handle water. So ya..I'm just waiting for Lipstick Jungle to come out..Thats about it. I'm boring. LoL!!

hello there you fine young ladies! how are you all doing?

nothing really new on this end. I did however step on the scale on Thursday AFTER eating breakfast and doing my workout! It said 234.4! I had to step on it a second time to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me! I finally watched my "I Can Make You Thin" program. I will be watching/taping that from here on out! He had some great pointers and I plan to incorporate them into my every day living!

Brandon had a great last day before Spring Break on Thursday! They were suppose to have watched a movie and ate pizza. But I am not sure if they did or not because his teacher didn't send a note home. But I did ask him if they watched a movie and he told me yeah. So, I asked him what the name of the movie was that they watched and he told me "joseph." So, I don't know if that was a characters name or if it was in the title. I was going to send his teacher an email to see what they watched, but I didn't get a chance to. He got a monkey on a spring during class, I think. And then when I got him off the bus, his bus driver gave him a little Easter goody bag! He loved it and it was really nice of her to do that for him. It had a bunny on a spring. a lamb ring, bunny glasses, and a gummy bunny in the bag.


Francie~ Don't be sad! (I know....easier said then done) Some one has to keep me entertained with her nasty neighbor stories!

Cristina~ That is great that you are going to make them a scrapbook! I had to sew Logan's pillow up this morning and had to move the paint by numbers that I did for the boys. And I realized that I missed doing them, so I am going to pick some more up when I get a chance!

SusieQ~ Cheese puffs are my weakness too.....but I am getting better! Marissa loves them! I swear she was inhaling them the other day when she was eating them.....until I heard her crunching on them.

Mindee~I'm not gonna be sad tomorrow or sat. Because theres a chance he'll be home for Easter. I'll save my saddness for monday when he'll really be gone, lol. But for the moment, I am craving chocolate. I just want everything dipped in chocolate right now. I wanna take a bath in chocolate I want it so freakin much!!! LoL!!! I havent had any neighbor stories yet. They've been pretty mute lately. Although, they do make LOUD noises during the day.



Anyhoo..dh is pretty much done packing. So I'm gonna go lay down with him. I doubt I'll be able to sleep tonight because I took such a long nap...

:wave:Just stopping by to say Hey to everyone!! Hope everyone has a good day. I'm actually going back to bed because dh's alarm scared the crap out of me at 4:15am, lol.



I'll be back laters!!

Good morning lovely ladies!

Sorry for a quickie but not much time. I slept a little later than I have been the last few mornings so didn't get up and get things done early enough to have time to do individuals. But...I will be back later for sure, may be this evening though. :dunno:

I am getting ready to go meet Charlotte and the kids to see Horton Hears a Who...supposed to be cute. Now, I don't normally go see kids movies but if daughter-in-law-to-be invites me to see it I will be there. Nothing else to do today anyway.

I did get in 45 minutes this morning thank goodness. Did the 1 mile WATP=15 mns. and Denise Austin=30 minutes...I am telling ya, you really do feel the burn, for days after! But it's a good burn, lol Plan on doing another 45 minutes before the day is over. Not counting on a loss this week...not sure why. I dont' think I have eaten so bad this week but just not feeling like there will be a loss and really dreading getting on the scales. We will see tomorrow.

Have a good day ladies! I'll be back! :hug:

Good Morning -

I am so glad it is Friday!

Cristina - Can't wait to hear about Horton Hears a Who.... I wanted to take Gaby to see that but w/ the weekly PTA movie I have put it off. I think the next one is Martian Child (??) never heard of it. lol Anyway - hope you had fun!!!

Mindee- Gaby is always tight lipped on what is going on in class, she never wants to talk about it.lol. Cute about Brandon and all his Easter goodies.

Francie - :hug::hug: hang in there. I really need to learn where my heart is because the fluttering isn't on the heart side....lol, my ex said when I pointed to my flutters "that ain't your heart, that is just your *it"....charming. Anyway, I was thinking it was a heart attack or something dramatic like that. haha


In a hurry to get some errands done before I need to pick up Gaby from school. We stayed last night at my mothers. I should have waited til Gab went w/ her father. She missed her bed and kept saying she wanted to go home. I didn't read as much as I wanted to so I didn't finish my book. I took the cat and he didn't seem to appreciate my efforts. WTF....why do I even try?? lol.....

k- drank way too much coffee......I need to go run or jog or sprint or something,way jittery. :dizzy:

chat at you all later!

Quickie while baby, hubby and both dogs are crashed out. I took Francie's advice and am going to do both chiro & massage--I went to the chiro today, I actually have more "knots" than I thought. He helped me tremendously--he said I should sleep better tonight and my headache is finally gone. He's on vacation until next Friday but I have an appt then and plus I have my appt to get a massage on Monday. I am still hurting but nothing like I was.

Granboy woke up so he's sitting on my lap watching me type one handed...watch out for typos....

SuzyQ--hope your flutters go away unless your fluttering about mcdreamy! gld to hear abou Rach's job. Ry gave us a nightmare during his teenage years but became more responsible once he started working--hope the same thing happens for you.

Cristina--hope you enjoy Horton..i wanted to go see enchanted myself. sorry to hear about the drama people caused--I didn't run with the popular crowd in high school because i didn't play those games then. my crowd was older people who had moved on and a few my own age.

francie--hugs to you! several of my son's friends are in the military--tony's wife and kids missed him terribly while he was in iraq.

mindee - wtg on the loss--sounds like brandon is liking school!!

katie, sassy and sue--hi!!!

just popping in here while I got the chance! we got the eggs decorated and they are drying. now, all three of them are asleep. I did have all four (tommy too) sleeping until Tommy's "boss" lady called him to say that he can start vacuuming at 4pm.

well, Tommy had a short lived "promotion" at his work. starting Monday he is back to his 4am to 4pm shift! His boss from that line threw a hissy fit to the guy that moved him to the new line and so he got him back. Tommy wasn't too happy about it, but hey, it is two more hours so the money will be nice!

I know it is late to be eating lunch.....but I am hungry!!

Hello ladies!

I am sleepy for some reason...had to have an energy drink to wake my arse up...didn't help so much though, I am sleeepy!

Sorry for not having time to do individuals...I promise to be back first thing in the morning to do them. I have to go get dinner cooked for the monkies, lol. But I wanted to stop by and say Hi since I was in the basement waiting on the dryer to stop. I'm just fixing a salad for me, not really hungry.

Have a great evening! Ciao :wave:

Francie--yes he did crack my neck...I love it too though everyone else says they hate it. He also cracked my upper back, everythings so tight, but it did relieve alot of the pressure. I'd actually like to see all three of those dvd's. You'll have to let us know how they are. If you used a credit card for your Nutrisystem I would talk to them about getting your money back if you are not getting any satisfaction from the NS.

Mindee--not doing eggs this year but watch out next year!! Teri wants to take Nicky to get his pic on the Easter Bunny's lap. My mom always does pickled eggs for Easter..I'm going to get a couple. Me and Ry are the only ones that like them--Teri and hubby don't.

Cristina-I am so tired too. Dr Creek, the chiro says I should sleep better tonight.

Hi SuzyQ, Sassy, Katie and Sue!!!

Hi gals!

Francie--oooh I LOVED Atonement. The book, that is. I've been nervous to see the movie because I thought book was a masterpiece and it would be hard for a movie to live up to it. I thought Saturday and Amsterdam ( books by Ian McEwan) were also very good, but Atonement was really the best. (((big hugs ))) sorry your DH has to leave... I thank him for his service to our country, just like Cristina's Josh..it take a special person to serve in the armed forces. It also take a special person to be their partner, so kudos to you , too :)

Jules - pickled eggs? ugh...but I love pickles, so maybe it's not that big of a stretch. So glad you saw a chiro and a MT...I've been helped alot by seeing both myself. I still see my MT once a month, plus have started doing a pilates class twice a week - that has really helped my back, even more than yoga.


Oh geez - I'm posting in quick reply and I can't see what everyone else has written. Something about Susan and some suspicious flutterings..in the girly bits? Did I read that right, lol! You know - when it comes to that - I take what I can get, after all I am a woman in my 40s and I have the hormones to prove it :)

So, I am sorry-I know I missed a bunch of stuff, but I hope everyone is having a great Friday. It's officially Spring Break here. Both kids had great report cards so we celebrated with pizza and the kids each had a treat from Baker and Spice. My treat is some wine and off to bed early to read The Language of Baklava. It's really good...Hub and the kids are watching Jason and the Argonauts - anyone remember than movie? pretty great, but I've seen it and my book awaits.

Cheers!

Hi Gurls!!!
 

just popping back in here before I head off to bed just to start all over again on Saturday!

Saturday will be one busy day for us! we are going to an Easter Egg hunt with all the kids. Then over to my in-law's house for dinner and spending some time over there. Then Sunday we will be relaxing!

We got snowed on tonight.......somewhere between 1"-4" or 4"-8" I didn't look with a ruler so I don't know exactly!

Katy~I loved the book too!! I mostly read it because I knew dh wouldnt want to go see the movie. But omg, now that its on dvd, I'm just dying to see it!!! Thank you for your kind words. :hug: It really warms my heart when people say that to me.



Sassy~I LOVE the 70s fashion!!!!! I used to wear my mom's old tops from the 70s when I was younger. I remember she had this hippi looking dress and I would wear it ALLLLLL the time!!! But this was back when I could fit into a size 5. I think I was like 10, LOL!! Mmmm..I'll gladly take the GS cookies. I still have my box of Thin Mints that I'm slowly eating. (the cookies, not the box, LOL)




Anyways...I have a headache again right now. I cant take anything because I took some advil for backpain earlier. So I'm just suffering right now. :( Anyhoo..if anyone is online and has yahoo..IM me. I'm lonely right now.

Hiya ladies...

SASSY...geez louise girly, you definitely got a good workout with all the moving, tired me out just reading it, lol. Hey, I love the 70's clothes, espeically the cute tops...the babydoll ones. DD hates it, she calls them the pregnant tops. I don't like the bellbottoms though...was glad when those went out and refuse to wear them again, lol. WTG on the NSV! :carrot: I think that's all that matters-that you feel good about yourself. Glad it stopped raining.

JULES...glad the chiro helped...I really need to go but once I go I will feel like I need to keep going, they always want to see me 2 or 3 times a week and I don't want to feel trapped into it. I know it's just at the beginng but still. And yeah, I can do without the drama. It is just really stupid to me and as I said, I am too old for the bs. I refuse to play games, refuse! Anyway, speaking of Tony, how is he doing? Josh may have to go back to Iraq, ugh! How's that grandbaby? He sure is getting big already...they grow too stinking fast!

KATY...I am the same way. If I read a book and then a movie comes out I am a little leery of seeing it. Seems they never live up to the book. But...I was pleasantly surprised with the movie The Diving Bell & The Butterfly...loved both! Speaking of the Jason & the Argonauts...DH#1 loved it! That is why Jason is named Jason, lol. Yay for GREAT report cards! :yay:

MINDEE...wow, you guys colored the eggs early. Are you guys going to your moms, can't remember if you mentioned that you are or not. Question: why do you weigh after you eat and/or after a workout? Just curious...WTG on 234.4! :carrot: Sorry for Tommy's short lived promotion, that would suck...give you a promotion one day and take it back the next. I am going to have to catch I Can Make you Thin...heard a lot of talk about it.

SUSAN...the mail is so goofy. I was surprised it got here so fast too. Never know how long it is going to take something to reach it's destination. Hope you like Jemima J...I thought it was cute. Yay to Rach getting the job! :yay: Sorry about the heart flutters hope it's not from stress. :hug: Martian Child looked cute...I didn't want to go to the movie and see it but I will watch it when it comes out on dvd or on the telly. So what do you have planned for the weekend missy? Anything special planned with McDreamy?

FRANCIE...so far I am liking Confessions of a Shopaholic...love all her excuses, lol. Did you have your ice cream and watch your movies? I love Moonstruck and especially Mermaid...would have loved a mother like Cher growing up...her and her kabobs! I didn't know myspace had all the groups, one day I will have to venture out and see what's up. I usually just go and blog or send messages/comments. DIL-to-be seems to live on there and will only contact me that way, lol. Sorry about DH having to go, that always sux. I know it's different, but I always hated too when Josh (DS) left. Of course I hate good-byes anyway. Lots of hugs to you missy :hug:

Horton Hears A Who was cute! I am not a fan of Jim Carrey except in serious roles but this was cute. Going to have to go see more kid movies in the future. Love Steve Carroll (sp?) he cracks me up but overall it was good...definitely would go see it ladies.

Nothing much going on today or this weekend. I DO plan on getting lots of reading done. Haven't cooked an Easter dinner in a couple of years and didn't plan on doing it this year. But while I was in the store I saw the hams and figured I have to cook something so it might as well be ham. Well, I don't actually have to cook ever but I do, lol. Going to Easter Mass this evening, that should be nice. Other than that, nothing special. Need to get some exercise done sometime today too.

Have a great day/weekend ladies!

Happy Saturday before Easter!!:easter::easter2:

I am such a nerd w/ no computer and tomorrow being Easter, the library will be closed, so Happy Easter early!! :bunny2::bunny: :easter:

Katy - Good to see you, when do you head for the coast, Monday? I haven't had the flutters since yesterday. Everyone seems to have their opinions on if it my heart area or just tension. I swear my sister thought it was the heart too. We ain't very smart in my thar family. haha. Anyway - have a safe trip and congrats to the kids on their report cards!!

Cristina - I don't like Jim Carrey either, I never have, yes...along w/ Johnny Depp. I love John Travolta, and I like that Steve guy too. I will have to look Martian Child up and see what it is about. I am glad you liked Horton and the Shopaholic book!

Sassy - lol on your post. I am not sure on the Brady Bunch fashions, I like my Old navy jeans, makes me feel like a teen. I noticed all of the young fashions for like Gab kind of looks like maternity tops.....which is nice for her tummy but she has lost a good deal of weight over the last 3 weeks, so she has no tummy anymore. I love banana bread, never have made the cake before....YUM on your Italian dinner!! And good for you on going to the store and not feeling overwhelmed :) , I am sure that was a great feeling! It would be for me.

Mindee - Ick on snow, how freaky. It is sunny but windy here. Awesome on the egg decorating, I am not doing that this year.

Jules - Ick on all the neck cracking!! lol Sounds painful. Rach will sit there and crack her knuckles, drives me batty. She says it feels good , can't imagine. Enjoy the Easter holiday w/ the baby!!!! I am sure it will be fun. :)

Francie - I like Cher too, I liked her in MASK, I have never seen Mermaids though. I hope your headache is gone and you are feeling better!!

Am I done w/ indi's??? whew.....Hi to Sue and Michelle!!

I slept in w/ Gab, she was so cute sleeping and is always up at 7am, so sleeping til 10 was wonderful. Rach went to work for the day and is whining already about being inside all day. I told her to think of all the $$$, stop whining.
Met up w/ Mike and we took Gab to an Easter thing at my church (*sigh, when I get my butt there....lol) and enjoyed a hunt and games and such. We were going to go to another one but Gab was having fun so we stayed and it was rather relaxing.
Mike took Gab overnight and I am still thinking of what I want to do for the evening.
And....omg- when he (Mike) was leaving he said "come here" and he gave me a hug and kissed my on the forehead....omg. I could have f- ing died!!! ewwwww. I had my arms crossed. It was like a f- ing birthday hug or something....ewwwww........I ran into the apt and got a shower.....of course he ran in after me and jumped in w/ me....ewwwwww.....jk.
He did hug me though...............ewwwwww. lol

McD was going to make chicken enchilada's (sp) but I didn't say for sure if I was making it over. I have to pick up Rach at 8pm, so that would cut into our time. It is no biggie she is only 2 1/2 miles down the road and I could always go back to his place....I mean, he is only around the corner. lol.....

I did finish Jamima J, it was good. I miss my Becky though!! Now I am reading The Other Woman but Jane Green and I like the book. So, I think I will go snuggle on the bed and read for awhile after I call McD though. Always something to do....I just wanna my time....me,me,me - all about me!! lol

omg- I need to replace some covered chocolate peanuts at my mothers.....I opened a container and ate the whole thing. Oops, how did THAT happen?? :D

k- have laundry that needs to be put in the dryer!!

chat later.................
