Hi Ladies.........Happy Saturday!
Hi Jules! :wave: Francie, so sorry that happened to you, I hope the workout gets out your frustrations! :hug: Susan -- It was fun. We'd never been to an IKEA store either. They have a lot of nice things for reasonable prices. ;) I've been to Kohls, nothing spectacular if you ask me, but what do I know? :shrug: lol. Ah the excitement of shopping with a 6 yr old, eh? lol. I hope you have a great McDreamy night and :congrat: on the dip in the scale!!! :carrot: :hug: to Everybody!!! |
Sassy~You've just reminded me that I need to go to Ikea, lol. I hear ya on being "single" When Fonzo was gone last year, I was living the bachlorette life, lol. Just me & my cats, lmao. I'll be living that life again this summer..ugh.
Susan~I guess I'm stupid to believe that people can change once their out of high school. Its so childish, but whatever, lol. Hey..hopefully Gaby will change into a shopaholic when she's older, lol. Well..it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hot in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss A/c, I miss it so so so much!! We're gonna have to buy another fan for the living room. I finally had to turn off the heater yesterday, lol. My poor cats are hot too. They're laying on the glass table and the kitchen floor. I keep having to give them water every 2 hours. Although, when I put ice in their water, they get all afraid of it, lol. Anyhoo..I'm gonna take a much needed shower right now. I'm not even gonna bother blow drying my hair. Heck nooo..too hot for that, lol. |
Ugh..its 2:42am right now and I cannot sleep at all!! There are 3 fans on in the bedroom, plus the window is open, and its still hot in there!!! I cannot stand it!!! I'm so sick of having no a/c. I'm from Arizona, I'm not used to not having it around. Plus, Fonzo admits too much body heat!! His arm was touching my arm for 2 seconds and I was sweating bullets, lol. He's great to have around in the winter..but in the spring/summer, I wish he'd sleep on the floor, lol.
I pulled out all my flip flops tonight (well..earlier, lol) too. I'm so excited to be wearing flip flops again. I was sad to put away my Uggs, but oh well. I'll be saving them for next winter (if we move to some place cold, lol. If not, then oh well). I also found a cute skirt in the back of my closet (I bought it for a dollar at the Goodwill last year!!). I walked out in front of Fonzo wearing it, and he thought I looked hot. I however, thought I looked like a huge cow, lol. The skirt went well w/my new shoes though, lol. Okay..so its 2:52am..I'm gonna get some ice water and try to cool off. Have a good sunday everyone!!! |
Good morning!
Francie - can you believe this weather? My DD got to play in the kiddie pool yesterday. Unbelievable..and today is supposed to be another warm day. Hope you were able to get some sleep finally. Susan - Hope you had a nice time with McDreamy..I think they need to open up Wilson Pool....alas, I read that it is supposed to rain soon, guess we better enjoy the sun while it lasts. Sassy- IKEA is fun, isn't it. I just found a rug for my kitchen there. I could spend alot of time in the kitchen area, but I don't 'cause I know I would spend too much money. The weather is awesome - I spent 2+ hours in the yard yesterday and got my workout for sure. Today I think we are all going to head up to Tryon Creek for a walk. Big news - I am going to change my ticker. I've been bouncing around this little pound but I think I have finally lost it. Yay! Have a great Sunday everyone! |
Katy~Okay, so yesterday was warm..but I'm kinda cold right now. And it looked like it rained when I looked outside. I will never understand this weather, lol.
Nothing new to say because I just woke up, lol. BBL |
I just heard Curves are the new Black this season - haha, I like that one Francie!
Good Sunday! Katy - It was so nice yesterday! I have never taken Gab to the Wilson pool but this year she will be ready. :bravo: in moving that ticker!! Tyron will be a nice place for a walk, and yes, the rain is coming back soon enough:) Sassy - Maybe you have to be 44 to like Kohl's?? lol Old women clothes there?? I know I saw an advertisement and thought it looked nice. Maybe I AM becoming my mother?? :stress: Francie - I am sure you don't look like a cow!!! I like reading all these boks based in England. I finally have figured out "shagged" and "snogged".....and everyone that is horrible is a cow. lol I had a lovely dinner of steak, salad and my yummy cheesebread. I sat and sipped wine, flipped through Newsweek and watched McDreamy cook. He said I was on salad duty but he ended up doing that too. He pulled out some hummus and pita crackers and I munched on that while I waited. So, I am not weighing for a few days and think I will go to a Plaid Pantry and get a bag of ice, I am addicted to eating ice now and PP has the best ice! lol I woke up and did my taxes, I was thinking of waiting til Tuesday morning but thought that would be really lazy! :dizzy: Anyway, so I will get a a decent federal refund and even a little $197 refund from the state, so that is a relief! I will get it out in the mail tomorrow. Hee Haw, shopping money in 6 weeks! Actually I want a beach trip. I better get busy, just wanted to say hello. I think I will go enjoy some quite time before Gab gets home. Chat at you later! |
Morning ladies..Glad it is warm for some of you. It is 37 degrees here and gray. After the 70 last week that is a shock. I have been snuggly most of the day, reading the papers and drinking coffee. Thought I should come up for air and empty the dishwasher. Also put on a pot of chili that DH requested.
Susan- NO...Kohl's is not for old ladies. Although this old lady likes it. They have lovely Jr. clothes and really neat kids things. When they have a sale it is usually a good deal. I don't think I have ever paid full price for anything there. (don't tell anyone because that is where I shop for gifts...at sale prices.) Francie- Your DH sounds like mine. I tell him it is like sleeping with a furnace. I have been known to put a blanket between us...and sometimes that doesn't work. Thank goodness for our ceiling fans and A/C. I hope you got some relief from the heat. Sassy- I have never been to IKEA either. And has anyone heard of Stein Mart? A new one has gone up down the highway from us. Maybe if I wish real hard they will get an Ikea in that new complex. Katy- Swimming, really? Man I am ready for pool weather although I don't personally go to the pool. Just like the weather. lol. Congrats on moving the ticker. Okay...trying to get back on track here and have had good luck cutting out the munchies this past week. I have had planned snacks, but no grazing. Have also had good luck with fixing my plate in the kitchen and not going back for more...no putting extra food on the table except cold veggies to nibble. I rode the bike for a mile several days and walked a few days. Trying to get the legs back in shape for those 3 or 4 mile rides. I know it will take a few weeks of sticking to it before I see any results, but that is just my cross to bear. :) Where is Cristina??? Thinking of you! |
eek, I am back! :eek:
Sue - Hey you! The weather gods must tease us w/ temps in the 70's only to dip back into winter weather. I hope we don't get back to 37 though! I will have to drop into Kohls. I passed by it on Friday taxi driving Rachel around but didn't have time to stop. Best to you on getting back on track, I am sure it will :) I hope C is back Monday! Cristina - I knew I forgot something!! With the debit card stress I totally forgot to wish Vince Happy Birthday! :celebrate::bday2you::celebrate: I am sorry, my goof. I hope you guys had fun going out for dinner!! I am bored, I am ready for Gaby to come home. I was going to make a tuna/ pasta dish for dinner, I hope she eats it. I also need to run to the store and get some apples and oranges, craving lettuce too for some reason. I must be turning into some barn animal. haha hmm, eww forgot to mention McD made strawberry shortcake for dessert! Homemade too, not the store bough angel food cake stuff I buy. I just had to mention that because I was stunned when he started making the shortbread. lol k- I guess that is my dribble. Chat tomorrow! |
Happy Sunday!!!
Happy Sunday all, wow this weekend has gone fast!!! lol.
I am watching a show on HD TV called Sunrise Earth, anybody here watched it? It is awesome!!! ;) This one is showing the ocean on a beach and looks so awesome, I would love to be there!!! :D Plus the fact my cat LOVES to watch it as they usually have birds or some kind of animal on there too! lol. Right now he is watching a crab on tv and its driving him crazy! lol. Francie -- Well maybe we'll have to "Stick Together" in our "Single Times" lol. I wish we lived closer, then we could go out and SHOP!!! :D lol. I hear ya on men being "heaters" that is how my DH is........We have AC though and we use it, we both cannot stand to be hot when trying to sleep so I sympathize with ya! Katy -- Yes IKEA is definitely a neat place to go for sure! We absolutely loved going through the Kitchen Stuff and it is so cool to see everything all together in their displays where you can actually walk through an actual kitchen and even a "house" with each room all set up with their stuff --very cool!! Its been chilly here and infact we have a chance for snow on Tuesday they say!!! What the heck kind of Spring is this? lol. WTG on the WL! :carrot: Suzy Q -- I dunno if you have to be 44 to like Kohls but I just wasn't impressed. lol. I saw lots of young people there too, so I dunno maybe its just me. lol. Mmmmmm your dinner sounds good.......:drool: Isn't it nice to have a man to cook for ya? My DH loves to cook and so he makes all kinds of things. :D Don't forget about that "Bonus" check we are all getting from the gov't next month too! SHOPPING TRIP for all I think! lol......... Sue -- I hear ya on the weather change. It is shocking after 70 degree weather! I have heard of Stein Mart and been in one, they are very nice. We got my MIL's Roasting Oven there for a Christmas Present one year from FIL, he had us stop and get it for him. Good Luck on getting prepared for your bike rides! I wanna get a bike, that way I can kill two birds with one stone, get exercise and go places when DH is working and has the car!!! lol. Big :hug: |
Susan~I love the way the British talk!!! Whenever I'm finished with one of the Brit Chick Lits, I find myself always using their words. Calling mean girls cows, and telling dh we need to get "pissed" aka, drunk, lol. Mmm..strawberry shortcake sounds soooo good!!
Sue~I cant put anything between me & Fonzo because that would make me even hotter, lol. And its really weird, because his body temp is lower than normal. Sassy~Fonzo actually likes to be totally covered when he's asleep. You know how they always say that girls marry their fathers?? Well, my dad was never around..so I married a guy like my mom, lol. Because Fonzo is the exact same way my mom was. They couldnt stand to be cold at night. I like to be freezing cold when I sleep (in the summer), so I have fans going and dont sleep with any blankets..but they layer the blankets on them, lol. My mom would get so mad at me if the a/c was on too high. And Fonzo gets mad at me if the big fan faces him, lol. Its crazy. Where oh where is Cristina??? I hope you're doing okay!!! :hug: Well...me & Fonzo totally slept the entire day away!!! LoL!! We went to the room to watch American Dad around 12 and ended up sleeping until 6pm!! What a waste..but eh, I was tired, lol. Oh well..lol. Its the day of rest after all, lol. Anyhoo..I'm gonna go find something to eat for dinner. BBL!! |
for even more of an update on his speech, he was actually telling us "toot toot" for a train horn! I can't wait for his report card/progress report on Tuesday!
Brandon was sitting on my lap on Saturday while I was on myspace. I brought up Anna's, one of their godmothers, page, and pulled up the pictures so Brandon could see her. He looked at the pictures, and then looked at me and said "mom, who's that?" I didn't know how to answer him at first, but I told him that it was Auntie Anna, one of their godmothers. To which, his only response was a puzzled look on his face. The last time she came over to see the kids was for Logan's birthday in early November. She was suppose to have come over in December, but she wasn't feeling good but promised that she would come over when she got better. Now, that the double party is coming along, she isn't sure if she is going to come or not. for some reason, I didn't get an email notification about this one......so I had to jump on here! |
Hi All + 100 Calorie Snacks!!!
Morning Girls.....:coffee:
Another Monday -- Yuck.......lol.......... Francie --- I married someone a lot like my step dad. lol. They got along like two peas in a pod! lol. We all surely do miss him....... Mindee. --- How Cute........I hope the kids can see their Godmother soon. :) Anywho, just popped in to share something I received in my email, figured you all wouldn't mind reading it: Snacks Under 100 Calories By Staff eDiets The lure of between-meal snacking is one of the main obstacles to losing weight or maintaining an already slim-and-trim body. But never fear -- you don't have to give up the occasional nosh entirely, as long as you stick to low-calorie foods. In fact, eating regularly throughout the day keeps your metabolism up and keeps your blood sugar at a more consistent level. With that in mind, what follows is a list of healthy snacks that are all 100 calories or less and require little or no preparation. Peanut Butter Celery Stalk -- One stalk of celery dabbed with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter (the kind without added hydrogenated oils) equals about 100 calories of protein-rich deliciousness. Reduced-Fat Triscuits -- Six of these crunchy whole-grain crackers tote up to under 100 calories. The fiber content will help fill your stomach. Dry-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds -- A quarter cup of this mineral-rich snack comes out to about 75 calories. Chocolate Treat -- For a quick and easy chocolate fix, take about six tablespoons of any brand of light whipped cream or light whipped cream substitute, and fold in a teaspoon of a powdered cocoa mix. Blend it thoroughly. Only about 50 calories. Strawberry Newtons -- Nabisco sells a two-cookie snack pack of these. Each cookie is 100 calories. Eat one and give the other to a friend. Cheese Stick with Marinara Sauce -- Put a low-fat mozzarella cheese stick into a bowl along with a quarter cup of marinara sauce. Heat briefly in the microwave (be careful not to overheat or you'll end up with soup). About 100 calories. Half-Cup of Sherbet or Sorbet -- A good ice cream substitute, and under 100 calories. Root Beer Float -- Take eight ounces of diet root beer. Add a scoop of non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt. Around 90 calories. Watermelon -- Two cups of watermelon cubes are fairly filling and equal only about 85 calories. Corn on the Cob -- One medium-sized ear with a dash of seasoning will set you back only 80 calories. Puffed Wheat Cereal -- Grab two-thirds of a cup of puffed wheat. Add a half cup of skim milk and a teaspoon of sugar or sugar substitute. About 100 calories. Blueberries -- They're delicious fresh from a farmer's market. A cup equals only 90 calories. Vegetarian Baked Beans -- Doesn't taste much different from the kind with pork in it. One third cup is only about 75 calories. Teddy Grahams Crackers -- The chocolate ones are particularly yummy. Fifteen clock in at 82 calories. Plums -- Three on the small side add up to around 90 calories. Bagel Bites -- Found in the freezer section of your grocery store. Two of these little pizza treats equal 100 calories. Turkey Sandwich -- Make a half-sandwich using a slice of whole-wheat bread and about two ounces of low-fat turkey breast. Add mustard and/or lettuce or a thin slice of tomato if you like. You're looking at about 100 calories. Seven-Ounce Bottle of Dannon Lite 'n' Fit Carb Control Smoothie -- Good source of protein and calcium. Only 70 calories. Campbell's Soup-at-Hand -- A convenient microwavable soup that you sip right from the container. The chicken noodle flavor is only 80 calories. Red or White Wine or Champagne -- Five ounces of the bubbly stuff is under 100 calories. Fruit and Whipped Cream -- Take a half cup of your favorite kind of berries -- raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries, etc. -- and place them in a bowl. Top with two tablespoons of a low-fat whipped cream or whipped cream substitute. About 100 calories. Craisins -- Dried cranberries make a nice change of pace from raisins. Four tablespoons come to around 90 calories. Grapes -- Ever try them frozen? A great treat! Thirty are under 100 calories. Bagel -- A half a bagel with a very light sprinkling of low-fat butter substitute will be around 100 calories. Breadsticks -- The kind with sesame seeds -- two of 'em add up to about 85 calories. Have an Awesome Week Ya'all!!! ;) :hug: |

Good Start of the week Morning hello..and ya. Blah,blah.
Cristina - Ok, we all MISS you!!!! :stress: Sassy - I have never heard of Sunrise Earth, sounds like something Gaby would love, anything w/ animals. Yeah, on the bonus check too! I wonder though if that will come after the refund ones though for us April 15th filers? I don't know why I slacked so much, I could be shopping by now.:D Cute about the kitty & the crab......lol Thanks for the under 100 calorie snack list! I always like red vines or pretzels dipped w/ cottage cheese or cereal as a munchie.,,,,or anything carb. lol Francie- I love Libby in Mr Maybe, I think my favorite out of all the Jane Green books, she is pretty funny. I can never sleep past 9am, I am always awake thinking I am missing something - haha. Anyway - hope you had something yummy for dinner!edited I was meaning to ask if you have checked out The Bachelor?? Matt (the Bach)is from London and it is kind of cute listening to him speak (ok, I need to get out more -lol) and it is on the tv tonight!! Mindee- Love the toot toot, Brandon is a cutie! Sorry about his godmother and her lack of involvement.:hug: to you :) Yes, it is nice to have a man cook and his strawberry shortcake was wonderful, not really calorie packed I would think?? Not like a regular cake. Ok, maybe I am in denial. :dizzy: McDreamy is sweet though and seems at home in the kitchen. Gab and I woke up slow, hate Monday's. We have Alvin & the Chipmunks tonight (a PTA movie, I think we have 3 others to see after this one!) and I need to pick her up that new swim suite, also need to toss these taxes in the mail. Otherwise it will be a quite day. Had another bagel w/ turkey for breakfast, figure I will just fill up on veggies and fruit the rest of the day...and lots of my ice water. k- Hello to Sue, Katy,"grandma" Jules and Michelle!!!!:wave: |
just popping in here while I have a quick second!
Brandon just got up from a nap, and I believe Logan is awake as well. Marissa, is still taking a nap. She now can move her walker backwards! The night before I had a dream that she was walking, and now it looks like it is going to happen soon! Sunday, we met up with one set of the kids' godparents. We met them for lunch and then went to WalMart. She bought Brandon and Marissa their birthday presents since they are going to be unable to attend their party. She bought them each two outfits a piece. We also looked into cupcakes for Brandon to take to school, and for their birthday cake. WalMart now does picture cakes, so we are contemplating getting them a picture cake. Plus, if you get a 1/4 sheet cake or bigger, you get a free smash cake! |
