  • Happy anniversary Marti!!!!
  • 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!!

    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!

    Sassy~ sounds like that would be the way to go!

    Francie~ Those are awesome! I still didn't get a chance to check out the site but I will do that tonight when the kids go to bed!

    hello to every one else....I have to go get the phone away from the boys before they hang up on daddy!
  • Hello Ladies,

    Marti - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

    Jane - I look forward to spoiling our grandchildren in a few weeks. DD and her hubby called last night said our GS wants to talk to us privately when we get there. Funny, he called us a few weeks ago to ask us if we are supposed to work on the Sabbath. He was trying to get out of a chore. We explained about the Sabbath as best we could and then told him he is to obey his parents. DD said he hung up and she asked him what we said and he told her "the same thing you did" and then he did the chore. lol They are so cute. Just love being a grandmother.

    Francie - Sorry DH is gone for a few days. Hope it goes quickly for you. Last year DH flew to FL to help DD and children drive up here(before she remarried) and then drove her back and flew back home. On the return he had to sleep over before he could fly home. I really missed him. We haven't been apart much since we married so I felt lost without him.

    I had a call from my DGD & DD in TX yesterday. I have a new DGGD born on the 16th. Her name is Kianna. She has been in NICU. She was born with an infection and is on an antibiotic although doctors can't seem to find what the infection is. DH worked in NICU for 18 years so she calls asking him questions. The doctor says she will be okay and DH says these things happen some time and they may never know what it was of course he can't tell them anything without being there.

    Hello to Everyone else. Hope you are having a good day.

    Hugs,
    Trish
  • Trish~The longest dh has ever been away was the 7 month deployment. Out of our 5 year relantionship, we've only spent 1 year and 10 months together. Thats kind of depressing, lol. I'm actually doing pretty good though. I think the meds are really help me deal with things better. I wish I was on these meds last year.



    Well, I worked out this morning and I just done doing some firming exercises. My arms feel so weak right now. I almost screaming because my body was hurting so much, lol. I'm so tired right now. I better sleep good tonight. Oh ya..I lost 1 pound, lol.



    Hola to everyone else!!
  • just popping back in here again.....I tried to pop in here earlier but for some reason the site or my computer wasn't cooperating at the time!

    Trish~ Congratulations on the newest DGD!!!!! Kianna is a very pretty name!! I wanted to name Marissa Leilani but Tommy thought that I liked it at the time because we were watching Dog the Bounty Hunter, and it is taped in Hawaii. I do still like the name though! It has a very pretty quality to it!

    Francie~ That is an awesome job on your work out! I did 45 minutes Monday night and I had to stop because I thought I was going to drop the weights!
  • Mindee~I use weights while doing the WATP dvd. And sometimes I just want to give up and drop them, lol. Great job on 45 mins!!



    I did more firming exercise during the biggest loser tonight..and I offically killed my arms, and my lower back. I pretty much just layed on the exercise ball for the rest of the show..lol. On The Biggest Loser, they said "if it doesnt hurt, then its not working." And well..since everything is huring on me, it must be working, LOL!!

    Anyhoo..I'm gonna go play some games before bed. Night nite everyone!!!
  • well, I am sitting here watching the infomercial for Turbo Jam, and I am really wanting to get it again! I am hoping that when we get some extra money that I can get it. does anybody know if they sell them at any stores? I know there are some stores called "As Seen on Tv" out there. Does anybody know if they sell them there?

    Francie~ I agree with that quote! I think I might have pinched something in my upper back....so I am going to see how it is on Wednesday after every body goes to bed.
  • Mindee~What is Turbo Jam?? I hope your not hurt
  • Good Morning Ladies

    Having problems with our computer monitor. I'll be in the middle of typing and then it all goes black!! So I'm typing as fast as I can so I can at least post something to let ya'll know that I'm here, just can't see anything!

    Starting to flicker. I'll have hubby check it out and hopefully it's just a short somewhere.

    Need to get ready for work...I will hopefully chat w/you all later on!

    Have a great day!
  • Marti~The same thing happened to my monitor. Dh fixed it though, I dunno how. He must've tightened something up. I recommend saving everything you type in case it goes black again, then when it comes back you just copy & paste. I had to do that w/everything, lol.



    I have some good news. I thought I lost 10 pounds, but really I lost 11!! Woohoo!! I've lost 11 pounds since joining 3FC!!!! I never thought I'd do that. I'm past my high school weight too!! I still have 39lbs to go though. Once I get to my goal, I'll weigh the same as Dh, lol.




    I hope everyone is having a good day!!! BBL!!
  • Hello ladies,

    Marti - a big Happy Anniversary to you!! And I hope James was able to fix the monitor.

    Trish - wow, I really like the name Kianna! Hope all is better with her now, and that the infection is gone or under control.

    Francie - woohoo on losing 11 pounds! That's really great!

    Mindee - you can goodle turbo jam and see where it's offered. Or go to epinions.com to find out where to buy it, and what people think of it.

    Tammy - how're you feeling?

    I went to Evansville with Dixie today and I'm so tired. We really did shop until we dropped, lol. Yesterday was spent with Katie and Mary doing stuff for the wedding reception. We 3 feel like we forgot something important, but not sure what! I guess we'll find out Saturday night, lol.

    See ya manana!
  • hello ladies....how are you all doing?

    well, we did manage to find a new bed for Brandon. we went to Kmart after looking online and it said that they didn't have them instock to ship out, so we figured that we would check out the store. we did.....and according to the lady that works there, they only have the side rails, the slats, and the mattresses, but NOT the toddler beds themselves! So, as we were walking out, Tommy says "well, I guess the only thing that Kmart is good for is cheap backpacks!"

    We then went to Meijers just to say what they had, and sure enough they had one toddler bed left! we picked it up and price checked it...it was $28 on clearance....which is $8 more then what Kmart was. BUT they at least had them in the store! so we bought it and brought it home. Brandon helped daddy put the bed together!

    the recheck went well! Brandon is 36.5 lbs.....and 37.5 inches tall. Logan is 29 lbs. Brandon got his MMR and chicken pox shot also. he has two more to get, but he has to wait until after his birthday to get those ones! so he will get them at his next appointment on April 30th. the doctor did say that we have to really buckle down on him and the potty training since he is going to be 4 next month. I mentioned to Tommy that if we buy two of those potties that sit on the floor then both Brandon and Logan will get potty trained at the same time! so heres to hoping that we can get those potty seats this coming weekend!

    I actually took Brandon and Logan over to play on the play structure here at the complex. They had a blast and then we went for a couple of walks around the complex while Tommy was here at the apartment with Marissa. It was nice to get them out and walking. They didn't give me any fights when it was time for bed, so I know the fresh air helped with that! So, I will be making it, or at least attempting to make it a daily occurrence once we get every thing back in order!

    we did actually discuss on the way to get his new bed, that when we go places we will get into the habit of him walking and just using the double stroller for Marissa and Logan now. We shall see how that goes! He did well when we were in Kmart and Meijer's with walking with us. I just worry so much now that he will be walking with us that it is just that much easier for someone to just walk up and snatch him! am I wrong for thinking that? I know that I can't keep him in a bubble for his whole life.

    Francie~ Turbo Jam is a work out dvd series that is really into cardio. It is just like a big dance class that goes so quickly that you don't even know it is a workout! Cristina actually has it, and says that she loves it! Thanks for the hug, I am actually doing much better since I took two Tylenols it helped out a lot!

    Marti~ That is weird with the monitor doing that! Did James get a chance to check it out for you?

    Jane~ I will have to try either of those options!
  • Hi Chicks.
    Hey Chicks.

    Guess what? I had to move -- AGAIN!! Just teasing.......... I am still upstairs where I originally was in the first place...... and I am not moving until they guarantee me that everything works down there. lol.

    So I am leaving my tower and mouse upstairs, I hope it will be safe. There are people moving in our old room already so they better get to fixing my stuff soon or I'll be out on the roof working.

    Well 2 more hours to go and then my "weekend" officially starts. Yey! and thanks to my dear sweet hubby I won't have to clean either!!!! We both cleaned while we were off and so there won't be anything to do, well except good ole laundry. lol. And I may "tackle" the *Horror Music* fridge. lol.

    I also put in to use my floating holiday (7 hrs worth) either on April 9th or the 16th, whichever one my boss says is better. That way I can leave here at midnight and go to bed early and so we can hit the outlet malls on the Thursday after. DH has been wanting some GOOD kitchen knives and so I've been telling him over and over again to get some, but he wants to shop around to be sure he gets the best knife and the best price.....

    We've been having issues with our cable box. I think DH is gonna end up strangling the cable people eventually. This is our 2nd box in 48 hrs and it still does not work!!! Its also a DVR so of course we have missed ALL of our shows too.

    Anywho........its warm here, for now until Mother Nature changes her mind again. lol.

    As far as eating goes.....I have been doing ok, when I am not in a hurry. Before work is the worst..........I need to get up earlier to prepare something better ahead of time. or maybe I can work on preparing stuff this weekend and freeze it............

    You all have been too Gabby I will do individuals later!!!

    Hi Francie, Jane, Marti, Jules, Cristina, Sue, Mindee, Trish, Tammy and anybody who I may have accidentally forgotten!!!
