just popping in here while I have the chance! Marissa and Logan are watching Cars.....and seem to be enjoying themselves!

I did manage to sit down and make a list of all the pictures that we are going to need to order when Tommy gets home. Next step after that, is to figure out when we will be able to get an updated family picture, and single pictures of Logan and Marissa done. At this rate, it will more then likely be when we get that rebate check next month!

Katy~ I have never heard of that website, I will have to go and wander around it again here in a few minutes. I agree with you on getting information from many different sources. I only did a quick search because I wanted to see if there was anything to it, but I will be looking for more information if I needed and then compiling a list from the different sites!

Katy~I'll have to check out ivilliage..I was just here for other reasons and didnt even think to look for pcos there.



Well..I'm feeling better emotionally. Physically, I feel so out of it. Af showed up and is ruining everything. I'm just sooooooooooooooooooo tired. Last night, I sat down on the couch and was gonna read my book. Well, 20 mins later dh is all waking me up and it was like 6pm!!! I read a half a sentence..

Anyhoo..I need to go to the post office for stamps..so I'm gonna go walk on over there. I hope it doesnt start raining, lol. BBL

Good Happy Mid-Wednesday!!


Sassy - Hey silly chick! Good to see you alive and kicking!! Happy to hear you aren't sick or anything.

Mindee- With Mothers day coming up I wanted to get a pic of the 3 girls, never have. It really pays to take care of the pictures as they come in because now I don't have dates on the back and I have 100's of photos on boxes. Ugh. I started out so good too.lol Never seen Cars, what is that about? I am glad your wrist is feeling better and the birds and the bee's only as far as men don't have babies. You know.....the basic's. lol

Francie - Was Amy Adams the princess?? The girl was cute, Gab perked up when she said she was 6 years old, Gab goes "I am 6 too!"....my cough is almost gone, thanks! rest some more, it is probably want your body needs

Katy - The deadline for the McD job is May 1st, so probably won't get an interview til mid May sometime and after that he would know. Saw M last night as I handed over Gab at the pool and when he brought her home. No money, no mention of when there will be money. He did say Thursday would be his last pool night because of a job he is taking. He never did mention his Astoria job again so maybe he is moving there, we can hope. lol Of course over my dead body is he taking her to the coast for visitation. I will have to go look at Jules and your pictures!! Cute about L! I have seen glimpses of the Housewives show, Gab never lets us turn it off the animal channel for long though. lol

Cristina - How are you??

Jules - Miss you

Sue - Come check in when you can! Miss you too!

I missed American Idol! It wasn't in my tv guide. I watched Dancing and went to bed at 11pm. Finally was able to get some sleep, with all that caffiene and everything. Fancy that.
I was brave and stepped on the scale this morning and was surprised to be holding at 166!!! I thought I was creeping up to 170 w/ all my munching at night.

Waiting for my debit card to come in the mail, comes from ND. Totally broke and took an hour to rummage looking for coins this morning so I can have a $1.75 coffee.....*sniff*,,,poor me. I have cleaned out my extra change pretty
good so after an hour I only had $1.40. lol
So, I went back to the bedroom to look around my bed because that is where all my clothes go and change drops out of my jean pockets all the time.
No luck, so I swipe my hand under the mattress and come out with a quarter!! Yippeee and I swipe again and come out with another quarter!! Yippeeee, coffee time. I kept feeling around with my hand and thought - "just lift the dang mattress" so I did and I saw a $20 dollar bill in the middle of this king size bed.
I was sooooooooooooo happy. Coffee, coffee, coffee!!

How cool is that?? Be inspired, lose weight! lol

k- out of here for a bit.

Hello ladies...

Man I am sleepy for some reason. I think all these early mornings are catching up with me, that and this gloomy weather. In for round two this afternoon and it is getting dark. Was hoping it would hold off until I get back later. Have to go and make reservations for the rehearsal dinner at 3:40.

Thank you ladies for the nice comments about the bags. I didn't like them, lol. But Charlotte did...she saw them yesterday and loved them...thank goodness. We don't want a bridezilla on our hands.

KATY...not yawing at all...the pictures were GREAT! I loved the zoo ones where the kids were holding the birds and feeding them. There were so many, and the penguin shots. Of course I had to go to your blog as well and see your new pics...loved 'em too! The living room is gorgeous...love the entertainment center and your couch, lol. Now, all this knitting...geez, you should start a business lady. All the shawls/ponchos you must have a closet full! They are so pretty, that purple'ish color is pretty...and the striped socks...to die for! Too freakin cute for sure! Oh, yeah...I love Goodreads too! I've told a few people about it and they too love it! THANK YOU FRANCIE! Lol Seems I never have enough time to spend there and do everything I want to do.

SUSAN...ugh, M! You should tell him Gaby needs fuel too! I want to see Enchantment again. Cambrie had it with her when she spent the night so I saw most of it...but she is a talker and it holds her attention for a few minutes at a time, lol. I loved the dress from the drapes, lol! Woohoo to the $20! Maybe you put it there for that occasion and just forgot, lol. Glad you found it and hope you get your card today.

SASSY...glad to hear from ya! Was wondering where you went off too.

FRANCIE...you know, for some reason the last two days I have been really sleepy. Fighting to stay awake as I am typing, and I am serious. I seriously need a nap but I have to get going in a little while. Glad you are feeling better.

MINDEE...such a cute picture of B. When the Jason was in kindergarten and had his picture took they let me take the other two up to have their picture took too! I thought that was cool. Glad your wrist is feeling better. I know those braces work well for me. There are a lot of nights I've had to sleep with one or both...works wonders!

Wanna hear something cool? I bought some of the bags at the grocery store a couple of days ago and used them today. I did not know that if you buy the bags and use them that the grocery store pays you to use them...how cool is that? It's only .05 (per bag used) but I just thought that was great. A grocery store that pays you to use the bags...can't even think of what they are called...instead of using the plastic or paper ones. Anyway...I had been meaning to get some and just happened to see them Monday and grabbed some. They are only .99 each or 5 for $4. Wonder if Wal-mart does the same.

Anyway...got in 95 minutes of exercise today, a load of laundry done and a trip to the grocer out of the way.

Have a wonderful day!

Susan~Yup, she was the Princess. Glad your cough is almost gone.

Cristina~You should just a day off and just relax.


Well..I'm gonna go finish reading my book, and then take a nap. I'm still so very sleepy.

popping back in here while Tommy makes chicken quesadillas for dinner, and possibly nachos for a snack later. If not later, then tomorrow when he gets home from bowling with B!

Francie~ Finding groups of women that are going through the same thing you are will do wonders for you! I can't tell you how many times they have helped me out a lot!

SusieQ~ I agree with you! I want a picture of all three of them together since we got a picture of both boys while I was pregnant with Marissa. Man, I should write a list of all the pictures I want done and how many I am going to need of each one! I will have to do that later!! Cars is the Disney movie with Lightning McQueen and Mater. Man, you make me want to go check under my mattress. although I just flipped it the other day, so I know there isn't any money under there! I usually find the money in the laundry when I am folding it! I found a dollar in Tommy's pocket when I was folding them over the weekend!

Cristina~ My mom mentioned that as well about the other kids being able to go in as well. I used to have to do that with my pregnancies..having to sleep with something on my wrists or having them elevated! Are you talking about woven totes? I believe I saw them at Wal-Mart the last time we were there.

Well..I finally took a nap. I feel tons better, lol. I think I should even be able to sleep tonight too. Yay!! Plus, Fonzo starts leave tomorrow, so double YAY!! And tonight is America's Next Top Model, so triple YAY!!


Sassy~Ughhh I'm right there with you (maybe we're synced up together, lol) Midol isnt strong enough for me. I need like a freakin horse pill!!! lmao!! Or just some advil will do, lol. I'm glad you're having such nice weather. Please send some over my way. My pretty sweatshirt is getting a little worn in, and I'd like to wear it next year, lol.

just popping in before I head to bed! tomorrow Brandon and Tommy are going bowling, so Tommy promised that he would take tons of pictures.

Sassy & Francie~ Sorry to hear about your visitors! I hope she doesn't stay long!

Mindee~Just 2 more days and she'll be gone..woohoo!!


I just got done watching Transformers, lol. It felt like a Shia Labeouf night, lol. If it wasnt 12:35, then I'd put on Disturbia. But that movie creeps me out.

Anyhoo..I'm gonna go play a game and try to get sleepy, lol.


Nighty nite all!!

Today is Brandon's bowling trip with his class. Daddy and him went to it. Tommy called me at about 11:30 and told me that his first game was a 91! Then he told me that Brandon bowls better then me.....which is true!

But I asked if he was having fun and Tommy said that he was. And that they were about to start the second game. Right about that time, they should have been getting their pizza and pop.

Logan wanted to go so bad this morning with them. But we had to tell him that we would all going bowling as a family soon. Then Diego came on, and he was happy with that! Right now, Logan and Marissa are taking naps. So, it is nice and quiet for now!

Francie~ Gotta love the quick visits! I haven't seen either of those movies. I am a major horror film scaredy cat! Although in my defense, I can handle them somewhat if I watch them during the day. Have you ever seen the movie called "Strangeland?"

Good Morning -

I agree (w/ Cristina) , wonderful pictures Katy! My favorite exhibit is the penguins, they look so happy zooming around the water.

Yeah for getting some sleep Francie!! I have Mr M (??) on hold and need to pick up. I think that is the title, by Jane Green.

Mindee- omg- a bowling field trip?? How fun!

Sassy - HUGS!! Sorry about the evil visitor

Cristina - Awesome on the exercise!!! I love the bags, you have done a great job, I am sure Charlotte appreciates it, I would.

I know I am all over the place but I was in my email for a long time already. Rocky sent some 1/2007 Hawaii pictures so I posted those on myspace. I think I was 175 in those photos and I had my hair pulled back because it was so windy and didn't want to look like a poodle. haha

No, debit card yet!!!! UGH. It is ok, I saved the $20 for today and coffee. We went to ex husbands house for a steak and wine dinner last night, yum. Oh, ya. Did talk to M and he is moving to Astoria!! Not far enough but I will take it. Course he said since he is starting a new job he won't have CS for a month. *^$##@ , whatever. When I get my debit card today I am going to buy Gab some shorts and a new swim suite, suppose to be 70ish this weekend!!!

Better run!! You all have a great day!!

Hello ladies...

I see we are a little over 100 posts...I don't have time now but if someone hasn't started a new thread I will come back later and do it.

Busy freakin day, ugh! I had to get V's BD cake and balloons today because he will be home tomorrow. He always takes his BD and mine off so we can go do whatever. On top of it, exercise, grocery shopping and a few more errands and now I am pooped!

SUSAN...those are GREAT pictures! OMG! I loved the view, so pretty! Does Gaby & R have a 'big' fish tale or what? Too cute! Sorry you haven't gotten the card yet, hopefully by tomorrow! Yay to M moving

FRANCIE & SASSY...sorry about your visit from that darn TOM!

MINDEE...I haven't been bowling in ages...used to take the kids and we always had fun. Glad Tommy & Brandon had fun!

Sorry this is a quickie...have a couple of other posts to do and get going. I will be back later though...hoping too anyway. I won't be on tomorrow at all so I must be!

Did my exercise like I said...95 minutes and I feel pooped! I think it's taking a toll on my old body, lol.

Have a GREAT day ladies!

Cristina - The pictures were of the northern side of the island, towards Kona from Hilo, I will have to ask R what the name of the park we stopped at. Gab would never let R *catch* the fish, he always had to throw it back in the water. haha.
It was beautiful there!!!
No debit card today - argh. It is ok, I still have $$ for coffee in the morning.

k- off to playland to let Gab get some energy out of her!

just stopping in while I get a chance before the chaos of bedtime rituals insue!

I will see if I can get the pictures of his bowling trip to post here quickly, while I have a second:
