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. 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??

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! 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!

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! 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!

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!!!




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!

Francie -- Found some Avatars for ya:

Good Start of the week Morning hello..and ya. Blah,blah.

Cristina - Ok, we all MISS you!!!!

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. 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. 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. 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!!!!

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!
