:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


That song will forever be stuck in my head now!! I'm gonna have to watch the movie tonight, LOL!!

I found the video for it!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb2si7fClqA


I love love love this movie!!!

well, today was very productive, if I do say so myself!

I got Brandon on the bus and then it was off to the races to get as much done on my list that I could before I had to get him off the bus! I vacuumed, went through the boys' clothes and pulled out the sweaters and heavy shirts and put them in a bag for now, cleaned the bathroom, cleaned up the toys, cleaned the counters in the kitchen, and I cleaned the fridge. Now, all I have to do before the party is put the toybox and loose toys in the boys room, turn the couch, turn the dining room table, and put the stuff on the porch back down into the basement that needs to go down there.

Then I got Brandon off the bus, to find a note from his speech teacher AND the principal in his backpack. The note from the principal is that a student at the school was diagnosed with MRSA, so we have to watch the kids basically. The note from his speech teacher was in response to a note that I wrote her at the end of March. She told me that they have also noticed a HUGE difference in his speech as well. She also told me that the past 2-3 sessions, he hasn't been wanting to do his part with his words. She told me every thing that she has tried with him and they didn't work, so she was asking if there is anything that we do in order to get him to cooperate.

I am going to send her and his teacher an email about the results from his hearing test, so that they are aware of it. And I am going to hold off on calling the ENT's on the list, and I will ask his pediatrician on the 30th for him to refers us to one. I know I shouldn't wait or delay it, but I know that he has some doctors that he can refers us to, and that I am sure that they work out of a hospital that is closer to us then the other doctor's that are on that sheet.

For some reason both Logan and Marissa were **** bent on NOT going to sleep tonight. So, after I got Brandon to sleep and in bed, I let Logan come out and sit and spend some time with him. We watched some tv and then I put him in his bed right before he fell asleep on me. Then I took Marissa for a walk around the complex three times, and she was still NOT ready to go to bed when we got home. I finally was just able to get her calmed down enough to go back to bed.

I got a call from Wal-Mart today. Tommy had left the information with them, but forgot to leave the names. So, the lady was calling to see if we wanted names on it. I told her that we wanted it to read "Happy 1st Birthday Marissa" and "Happy 4th Birthday Brandon." When she read back the names and spelling, she was glad that she did because she had Brandon spelled Brandan. She then said that it says to do boy girl colors.........so she asked me if pink and blue were okay. I said that it was fine, and now I am really excited and I can't wait to see it! I will have to take pictures of it before every body gets over here!

Did I mention that I managed to walk 7.3 miles on Friday between all the cleaning and walking with Marissa?

Katy~ A loss is still a loss! I have that lousy visitor here as well......although if you were to just meet me, you wouldn't be able to tell! Tommy says that I am not as witchy as I was last month. So, I guess that counts as a compliment!

Francie~ Looks like you have a great starting point with all your workouts! I did a Walk N Tone video the other day with Leslie Sansome, and I am leaning more towards getting her dvd's. I hear her mentioned a lot on here so I might as well try it out since I can easily walk just as well and as I can do other things!

SusieQ~ I will have to get that movie now! If I were to hang out the window, the neighbors might call the cops on me. So, I will just bite my lip and get it all done by myself. The only thing that I really need Tommy's help with doing is putting the boxes on the porch back down in the basement. I can turn the couch and dining room table myself. Heck, I had the couch on its end so I could clean it and I did it by myself!

Cristina~ Funny you mentioned having to clean when the house is just going to get messed up anyways. Tommy was telling me at dinner that we have to put all the toys plus the books in the kids room. I said that the books could stay where they are on the entertainment center. He said that it looked really bad and that we had to put them in the bedroom. I said nobody is going to care if they are there or not! we have three kids, the house isn't going to be spotless! he then said that it matters to him and that I should put them in the cupboards or the drawer on the entertainment center. I said that i would, but there was already stuff in those! And since I will be doing most if not all of the cleaning........it is staying where I put it!

Thanks for that song and the video! Now, if I could just snap my fingers and everything would be done for me I would love that even better!

Hi Gurls........
 

Good morning...

Okay, so it's not such a good morning. My goodness...who would have thought gaining a dil would add so much stress, ugh! Shoot me now and get it over with.

FRANCIE...well I don't have to worry about it now because the wedding was postponed. So I have plenty of time to get in the dress if it doesn't fit and get the shoes dyed the right color. I saw a picture of your mom on your myspace but wasn't looking at what everyone was wearing, lol. Looks like you guys had a nice wedding.

SUSAN...too cute about the song and the lady at the library...what is up with that? Here's a picture of the new dress, lol
http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/s...006&R=02656940
Here's the black one...
http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=51368&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID =13851de&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=50434|50444| 51368
I like both but now that the wedding will be in July I think I like the pink better, decisions, decisions.

SASSY...hope you get to feeling better :hug:

MINDEE...have fun today! So what kind of cake did you get? Hope it looks good and tastes even better, lol.

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Even though I feel like crap I am happy to say that I am down 1 pound, woohoo! I worked hard for that darn measely pound! :lol: anywho...going to get some reading done today. Chat later :wave:

Cristina - I like the pink one..can't get to the black one for comparison, but if the wedding is getting postponed until July, the pink one will definitely fit the bill...and you will probably have to buy a smaller one -yay! Did I ever mentioned that my wedding dress was that same shade of pink? ha ha - I was such a rebel! It was a tea- length lace and satin number and I still love it even though, after 18 years, it does look a bit dated, along with my big 80s hair, lol! I'll have to dig up a picture...

Susan - say hi to the Prez for me. I saw him back in '92 and people were treating him like a rock star. Hope you have a nice evening w/ McDreamy!

(((((Sassy))))) - sorry you've been down in the dumps...hope we can cheer you up a bit...you know we are all here for you.

Hi Francie, Mindee, Jules, and Sue

I'm off to go knit w/ my newly formed group up at the yarn store in the village. Hopefully some other knitters show up :fingerscrossed: You never know with these things. Yesterday was a BAD food day ( lotsa bagels :( ) but today so far I am back on track. Tonight is dinner out and we are taking my MIL to the symphony for a birthday present. Dinner is before the concert, so I will not overdo it...otherwise I'll fall asleep during the concert - yikes!

Mindee~Leslie Sansone's dvds are pretty good. I feel that I get a good workout when I do them. The cake sounds good, lol. My fave part has always been the frosting. Mmm..I wish I had thought of getting a cake for my bday, but oh well.

Cristina~That sucks that it was postponed. But I like the pink dress!! I found this pic of what the pants my mom wore looked like...http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=50934&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID =11f9d27&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=50434|50444| 50934

Katy~The symphony sounds nice. Hope you have fun!!




Well..I could not sleep at all last night. I was tired, but I just couldnt relax. I had to force myself to go to bed. And when I did, I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, lol. Too bad my effin cats kept making noise all night long. I swear, either cats are needy, or its just mine that are needy, lol.

Anyways..Fonzo is gonna talk to one of his friends on my comp..so I'm gonna go for now.

Back again...

KATY...have a nice time with the knitting gang, and tonight. I like the pink too, perfect for July! Would love to see a pic of your dress...bet it is purdy! I went with pink also, lol...a pale pink though. Wanted tea length but couldn't find what I wanted.

FRANCIE...I agree about Leslie Sansone...love her dvd's! Most of them go by so fast. The link wouldn't come up, ugh. I'll try later because att.net is being stupid again...a few other things wouldn't come up either...kept saying there was an error of some sort. Your cats reminded me of my friend's...she had 3 but would take in strays so she had about 5 or 6 at any given time and lived in a cute, little one bedroom house...was big though...anyway, when I would spend the night there after a night out those stinking cats would crawl all over me and then fight on the coffee table, lol...it was crazy sometimes.

SUSAN...totally slipped my mind you were going to meet BC! Have a great time!

MINDEE...I forgot to say :bravo: for the walk! Geez, woman...you did GREAT!

JULES...thinking of you missy. :hug:

SASSY...are ya feeling better yet? :D

Okay, well, I'm not getting much of anything done. Was supposed to go to a Bridal shower but that is off soooo...was actually looking forward to getting out of the house today...kind of a gloomy day. I will just curl up on the couch and start another book. Exercise is done and done! :carrot:

Have a GREAT weekend ladies!

Good Afternoon Chickies-

Cristina - The pink dress is very pretty! You will look lovely in it. Need to figure out the link for the black dress in a second after I write this.

Sassy - :hug::hug::hug: sometimes you just need to snuggle in bed w/ a good book and hang on. I have down times too and I just have to wait til it passes. The sun shining outside helps a lot for me. Anyway sending hugs to you :D

Francie - I love my kitty but he lays on the bed and cleans himself for hours and if he itches he is tossed off the bed. I don't want fleas!! So, I have to go get some advantage and treat him.

Katy - Hope you had a good knitting session!! :) Have a fun evening.

Mindee- Happy Birthday Party for Brandon & Marissa!!

I have had a busy day! I woke up w/ 3 loads of laundry to do. Got Gab up and we showered and went to the laundromat to start the wash. Walked to Starbucks next door and after that to Freddies for breakfast stuff. Back to the laundry and into the dryer , off to the car wash and cleaned out the car. Back home and dropped Gab off and went to get the laundry.
Rach was busy gtting ready to go out and M called and came and picked up Gab early.

Talked w/ McDreamy and we parted ways. Yes, sorry. I just have felt for weeks that there was nothing there and I was feeling bad for just not discussing it with him. He is a McDreamy, just not mine.
So, I feel a lot better and think I will go to Powells and look at books. Just do whatever I want without always having to do something for someone else for a bit. Until one of the girls calls. lol

Counting calories today! Made some yummy spinach w/ onions and tenderloin chicken for lunch. Now that I won't be going out for dinner I can maybe go get some salad stuff and fruit for dinner.

k- guess that is my update!!

Cristina~Try this link instead.. http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=50934&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID =11f9d27&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=50434|50444| 50934 Why was the wedding postponed?? At least you can relax for a bit and chill out with a nice book. My cats are insane. They run around like freaks with their tails all poofed up, lol. 2 of them are sunbathing right now. And the other is napping with Fonzo, lol.

Susan~Fleas suck. When I had a dog, he'd get fleas every now & then. Ugh, horrible memories, lol. Sorry about McDreamy :hug:



Today is a warm boring day. I'm gonna play Wii for a little bit before I take a shower. My arms are hurting a little bit from when I played last night. But its not as bad as it used to be. I tried boxing, and its a lot of fun!!!

Francie - In the place I lived before there was barkdust all around and when it was late Aug I noticed *hopping fleas* coming from the patio to mid way in my living room. I would sit there at night on my couch watching them hop around.
Major freak me out.
I told the landlord and she said "fleas don't bother me"....omg, wtheck! Had to weasle some bomb out of her to treat my unit. And I didn't even have animals at the time!!

I must have been bringing them in when I walked from the laundry room. :?:

Barkdust is evil, I am surrounded by it again and it is getting warmer outside. Thinking the cats need to be treated and become inside cats. I hate to do that because they like to explore.

Thanks for the condolences - lol , It is ok though. I really wanted my time on the weekends and was getting so frustrated being in a relationship and answering to someone. I think the longer I am on my own the harder it might be to hook up again. I don't know. Or the timing is all off and I have little ones that take up a lot of my time. I can't just drop everything and go or devote whole days to lounging around.

Anyway - it is a sign of my maturity because not to long ago I would have latched on to someone that was comatose and basically that was all he needed to be. lol

Off to Powells to get a book!!

Thank You All. :hug:

I do feel a bit better today, still not quite 100%, but better, so I plan on doing nothing tonight and just relaxing and watching some tv..........Still kinda blue, but I'll survive.....lol.

Take care all!

:hug:

I am popping in here before I head off to bed.

I am uploading the pictures that were taken today, well now it is yesterday, at the party! every body all had a blast! the kids got plenty of clothes and they each got a couple of toys. they also got some books, which they are loving! Tommy got them each a balloon. He got Marissa a 1st birthday balloon and he got Brandon a 4th birthday balloon. He then also got twelve smaller balloons, which we then had to pull one out for Logan because he got mad.

I will go and change my avatar here in a second to the kids' cake. it turned out really cute and it was really good!

Just stopping by really quickly.

I played some Wii games for 2 hours yesterday and my arms are freakin killing me, lol. But its like a good pain, I dunno.

The downstairs monsters were mowing there lawn not too long ago..and we had our window open. So now my nose is runny and my head is stuffed and I cant stop sneezing. Ughhh I feel like crap.

Well..I'm gonna go spend my last sunday with Fonzo. And find some allergy meds...Happy Sunday all..BBL

nothing really new since I last posted....

I am about to go and take some cake over to the office manager here in a second after I get dressed. Lazy Sunday.....and after all the hulla baloo of yesterday I think we can all make today a lazy Sunday!

Happy Sunday all...

FRANCIE...wedding was postponed because the Army decided no one was aking leave because supposedly they are in training. Even though a few guys did get leave. Apparently July was the soonest opening for the hall and church. Hey, at least it is a good hurt, lol. Enjoy your day with Fonzo. UGH, that link didn't work either...wonder what is up with the links. The dress one I posted won't come up either. Hope you feel better.

SUSAN...sorry to hear about you and McD. :hug: I know what you mean though. I was single almost longer than I was married the first time and I wanted to have someone in my life but at the same time I liked not having anyone to answer to. Still that way, lol...thank you...I tried the dress on and I LOVE IT!

MINDEE...such a cute cake! Is that a picture of them both on the cake? Love the colors. Clothes are always good.

SASSY...glad you are feeling better.

Nothing much going on with me today. Getting laundry done that I should have done yesterday. Finished my book finally and started another, Blood Orange by Drusilla Campbell...so far, so good. Thinking I will have it done tonight. Today is my free day from exercise but I still did some, lol. Just the 3 mile WATP dvd. I feel lazy if I don't do something. Anyway...

Have a good Sunday!

Happy Sunday!

YES! Down a pound. I think the calorie counting is helping a lot, especially makes me aware in the evenings where I am caloriewise so I don't graze and go overboard. Feel so much better.

Cristina - Yay, nice to see you post on a Sunday! Blood Orange by Drusilla Campbell?? What is that about??

Sassy :hug: Glad you are starting to feel better!!

Mindee - Cute cake!!

Francie - Sorry about the arms! lol Enjoy your time w/ Fonzo :o

katy - Thought of you this morning. There was an article in the travel how more women are traveling together and have actual themes. One was a knitting group that went to Scotland and visited sheep ranches and saw how yarn was made, thought that was kind of cool. :dizzy:

anyway - Started on Good In Bed last night and fell asleep reading it. I am about 1/2 way done now, it is funny. I like Jennifer Weiner.
McD emailed this morning and we are friendly still. He is a sweet man, maybe in a few months we can revisit a relationship, who knows??

I guess that is it on my end!! Busy day w/ Gab coming back in a bit, going to meet her at the pool.

Later Gators!!

just popping back in.....

Cristina~ I must have missed the part about every thing getting postponed. Kind of sucks that you did all that running around, dealt with all that drama, just to be doing it all again next month when the final countdown starts again. Yup, that is a picture of both of them on the cake. Let me see if I can get a closer view of it.

SusieQ~ I must have missed the part about things with McD. But at least you guys are still on good terms so to speak.

Good afternoon ladies.
Wow, lots of excitement here and drama for some. I am not fond of drama and too old for excitement, so what am I to do? LOL. Actually, when I was much younger with small kiddos, I had several friends (?) who thrived on drama, talking about each other, stirring up s**t. Once my marriage became fodder for the drama and I got out of that mess I never looked back for those friends. Have been much happier. Now excitement...I could tell you some stories...nah, don't ask! Hahaha

Lazy Sunday here and the weather is quite nippy. I wanted to work outside, but quickly changed my mind. We did walk around the yard to see what all has popped up. I am happy to report that my black thumb is leaning slightly more toward green. Just about everything I planted last year is up. I lost one small rose bush and so far no signs of my clematis. The hostas and ferns are thriving. Both flowering almonds did indeed flower and are so pretty. I planted them after blooming season, so had my fingers crossed that they would bloom this year. All in all if we could just get the grass to grow in the front I would love my yard. DH will be working on that next week. (as he did in the Fall to no avail) The pergola is almost finished, so he will need another project.

Mindee- Loved the cake pic. and so glad the party went well. Sounds like a good time.

Francie- I was looking at the ads for Wii today. Most every store had them in their circulars. I wonder if they all actually have one? Looks like fun games anyway. Sorry about the arms. :)

Susan- Good in Bed must have been...if it put you to sleep. Ha. You have given the names of so many books which sound like ones I would like. I am compiling lists from all you ladies. Meanwhile my 2 SIL and a friend keep bringing me books and I can't possibly catch up. I love our library but haven't had to go since last year. Hate to hear about McD...but you will know when and if the timing is right. Those young'uns are the most important for now. They do take lots of time and energy. Good deal that you and he can remain friends. Ya never know what will happen.

Cristina- Sorry about the wedding. Do they tink they waited long enough to say no leave? Heck the date was almost here. Hopefully things will go smoothly from here on out. I loved the picture of the dress. Beautiful color. And you are an exercise guru. :)

Sassy- Hope you are out of the blue funk and into the pink of things! I truly know how that is though and have had many blue days this year. Life never goes as planned it seems.

Katy- Yay for any downward movement of the scale. Mine has not been very co-operative lately. I also would like to see the pink wedding dress.....you rebel. :)

Okay...better scoot. I have a ham cooking and need to toss a salad and throw together some sort of veggies. If I can get DH in from the work shop that is.

Happy Sunday ya'll.

I meant to post this earlier, but here is the link so that you can see ALL the pictures that were taken at the party!

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0party%204-26/

you will more then likely be prompted for a password, so type in brandon and enjoy!

Hello
 

Cristina~Ugh that sucks. It sucks planning a wedding around someone who needs to take leave, lol. I wanted our wedding to be in October..but the only opening the place had was for December. We got lucky with that too, because the ship didnt come back until November.

Susan~I played more games today and killed my arms even more, lol. I dont seem to know when to quit, lol. Congrats on the pound!!

Sue~Those Wiis are so popular, they're out of stock all the time. Its crazy!!

Sassy~Sorry you're feeling down :( :hug:


Well..I had a nice day with Fonzo. We walked to Subway, lol. It was a pretty nice walk until it started raining. But ugh, it was humid outside. My hair started to frizz.

Oh, it was so funny. Fonzo wanted a kiss, and I was playing hard to get..so he started making kissing noises in my ear. And somehow we ended up wrestling. He kept trying for a kiss and I just refused to give in, lol. And it sucked so bad because he was a wrestler all through high school (drool), so he was using all his old moves on me. He literly picked me up and tossed me on the bed, LOL!! It was scary but it popped my back so it felt good at the same time, lol. Then I turned around and tackled him from behind and started tickling him until he switched it around on me, lol. By the end, we were so out of breath. We gave each other a nice little workout, lol. It kinda reminded me of our very first kiss. LoL!! We were at my house watching Signs and we got bored..so we started wrestling on the floor and he pinned me down and kissed me, lol. *sigh* Anyways..lol.

So ya..I found out that I'm on the Blue Team for The Biggest Loser Challenge. I'm gonna start my workouts tomorrow since Fonzo has to work late. So yay!! LoL!! Then on tuesday is my birthday!!! We're gonna have lemon grilled chicken, some sort of veggies, rice maybe, and for dessert I'm gonna make cheesecake. Yum. I'm excited!!!!

Oh ya!! I finished the Time Traveler's Wife..and omg, it was sooooooo good. I ended up crying towards the end. I'm very curious to see how the movie turns out. I think Rachel McAdams was a good choice for Clare. (love love loved her in the Notebook). I started reading The Magician's Nephew. Which is book 1 of the Chronicles of Narnia.

Okay..I'm gonna go read some more. Goodnight all!!

Just letting you all know..I posted some pics in the 20 something photo page!!

just popping in here while I have a quick second. I am eating some ramon noodles as I post this, so I am trying not to get anything on the laptop!

Sassy~ I am sorry to hear that you are down. I hope you can switch meds to see if that will help you out!

Francie~ I will have to head over there to check them out!

I had such a bad night last night. I pretty much played with the Wii games all weekend. And my arms and upper back were just sooooooooo sore. But I kept pushing it. So last night I took some advil and layed on the heating pad..but that didnt work. So I rubbed bengay all over. That seemed to helped, because afterwards I fell asleep, lol.

I did the one mile walk this morning..even though I was dead tired. And now my arms are so sore it hurts to lift them. Then I banged my shin on the dishwasher door!!! Ughhh it hurt so bad. I have a ugly bruise on it now. So ya..I think I'm done for the day. Which is very disappointing. I thought I'd be able to do more today. I'm gonna take some more advil and try to take a nap. I hope to be able to do more tomorrow!! Maybe I just needed another day of rest?? I dunno..Hopefully I'll feel much better tomorrow!!

Hello ladies...

FRANCIE...yeah, it sux but what can you do? I just hope they don't change their mind again and wait until the last minute and not give him leave again...now that would really suck! Hope your arms feel better soon. Yay for getting thr blue team! Like your new avatar, too cute! The Time Traveler is in my stack upstairs of to read soon, lol. Glad to know it is good, of course I thought it was or I wouldn't have bought it, lol.

MINDEE...are they the same photos as on your myspace? I took a gander at those and OMG! They are too cute! Especially all the ones of Marissa with the frosting everywhere, lol! Love the bright green outfits too! Such a pretty color.

SUE...I don't know why they waited until the last minute, except that they are jerks and keep messing with people, and they can do what they want so....glad most of the trees and shrubs made it. I think we lost 2 trees, an oak and flowering plum...not sure about the elm in the front yet. Everything else made it.

SASSY...sorry about you not feeling well, lots of hugs to you :hug: :hug:

SUSAN...good that you and McD can still be friends. I never could be friends with guys for some reason, not guys I dated. WTG on the pound! :woohoo: Blood Orange is about this lady who had an affair was going to leave her lawyer hubby but didn't, her little girl was kidnapped, came home one day and found her just sitting on the porch and apparently there are some secrets & twists so...we'll see what happens. It is good so far though. I liked Good in Bed, it was funny. I've got In Her Shoes & Goodnight No One just haven't gotten around to reading them. I'm terrible...if I go to a bookstore I end up buying more books and then read those and I have shelves of books already that need to be read. Was trying to get them all read before I buy more but it isn't happeneing. If I keep reading like I have been I can get a lot read though.

HIYA KATY & JULES :wave:

I had a busy morning. Did 30 minutes of exercise before heading out and mowing the front yard. Then went to tan, I know...it's bad but I do it anyway. Came home and did another 30 minutes of exercise and then mowed the back yard and doing a load of laundry now. It's been a good exercise day but a bad eating day...I've already eaten too much and I know if I were counting calories I would probably only have about 100 left, lol. But I am having a chicken salad for dinner so that will make up for the rest, I hope :crossed: Anyway...

Have a good one ladies!

FRANCIE...GREAT pictures! I've said it before and I'll say it again...you and Fonzo make a cute couple! Thanks for sharing the pics with us!

Francie~ I hope you are feeling better now after your nap! And I agree with Cristina, you and Fonzo make a cute couple!!

Cristina~ Yup, those are the same ones of my myspace page! Great job on all the exercise that you are doing! I am gearing up for a challenge that I am doing that starts on Mother's Day. The main goal is to get 10,000 steps a do or to do 30 minutes of exercise. So, I am going to combine them both, but mainly aim for the 10,000 steps a day! I have also told myself that I am going to do my walking that I have been doing with Marissa, but I will do it whether I have a kid in tow or not. I can do two laps around the complex and it takes about an hour. (put that is pushing a stroller, which entails lifting it over the curbs and such) but I am going to push it until I can get a good amount. I am aiming for doing three laps around the complex. The last time I walked around the complex, I calculated my path into steps, and it is 1,795 steps on the path that I take. So, that is almost two miles if I am not mistaken.

Mindee--Happy bday to two of your kids!! It's hard to believe little Marrissa is already a year old. My nieces boy Blaire turned 1 too and little Henry's is next month.

Cristina--you are so great on your exercising!! I started walking the paths through our property atleast 4 nights a week with the dogs. I was so proud of myself for making it up the first big hill tonight without having to stop. Sorry the wedding was postponed, I know you have put so much work into it. LOVE the style of the pink dress--you will look beautiful in it blondie!!

Franice--you need to quit beating yourself up!! no more bruises!! You and Fonzo are the cutest couple!! One of my coworkers went to Walmart at midnight and sttod in line for a WII--they were so excited they got it--she says she has never done anything like that and doesn't even go shopping on Black Friday.

Sassy--my allergies have been acting up to--my eyes are the worst--watering and itching. Sorry you are down in the dumps. I am right there with you but I am making myself get out of it. My grandboy helps keep me up. He's so sweet.

Sue--you need to post some pics of that pretty yard of yours for us to see.

SuzyQ--sorry McDreamy isn't the one--at least you can still be friends. Hubby and I had a long talk and I said I was going to be changing and do more for me and not take the contol and cutdowns and he can either change with me or throw the last 22 years away.

Katy--hi there!!

Well I got a couple of things I want done before bedtime!! Goodnight girls!!

Evening Chickies!

Jules- Always make me smile when you post! Have missed you.

Just a quickie because I have a whiny child. Hoping to get to 160 by Friday, think I can do this if I don't eat.:dizzy: lol

The Bachelor is tonight!

Hold the press on McDreamy because we have talked a lot today and might still be on track. Making plans to see him this weekend.

k- GAB is ANNOYING me....chat tomorrow!!

Cristina~You never know with the military. But if he puts in for a chit in advance, then they'll probably approve it. Thanks for the comment about the pic. OHHH..and double thanks for the comment on my new myspace page, lol. I showed it to Fonzo and he thought it was funny too. Hows your tan?? LoL!! Do you go to tanning beds?? Or is it spray on??

Mindee~I do feel better now. I hope to be able to go to bed early tonight!! And Thanks!!

Jules~I know I know, lol. I beat myself up often. I'm so clumsy, lol. "Clumsy cuz I'm fallin in love" LOL!! Sorry..that song popped in my head. Thats cool about your friend, lol. The only thing I've ever stood in line for was Nsync tickets, lol. Oh..and Paul McCartney tickets with my mom. It was total chaos though. I ended up getting lost in the crowd, lol. We go to black fridays sometimes..but since the Walmart here is open 24/7..its kinda not really fun, lol.



Well anyhoo...I did really good with my eating. I'm keeping track of it on my blog (in my workout page), and on fitday. It helps a lot!!! I'm so proud of myself. Now I just need to improve on the exercise. I played a little bit of Wii today. I figured out that the boxing is what kills my arms, lol.

Anyways...I'm gonna go watch some tele. Nighty nite all!! When I wake up, I'll be 23!! (well..not offically..I was born at 7:45pm, lol). Oh ya..heres a fun bday fact about me. I was supposed to be born on mothers day..but instead, I popped out on my baby shower, lol.

Okay...gonna go now, lol. TTYL

popping in here before heading off to bed!

Jules~ It is good to hear from you! How is Teri and little Nick doing? thanks for the birthday wishes!

SusieQ~ I don't like when I have whiny kids.......but I am more then likely going to be dealing with at least two here soon. Brandon and Marissa are getting sick, so I am sure that I am fighting the inevitable, BUT I am staying on it with medicine.

Francie~ That is great about all the exercising you are doing! I was going to do my walking tonight, but with Marissa getting sick, she has been up and down since she went to bed. so, knowing my luck, she will wake up right after I walk out the door and I wouldn't even know about it since Tommy is sleeping. So that is another reason why I will only do my walking while the kids are in bed and Tommy is awake.

I also need to get back on writing down what I am eating. I ran out of room in the notebook that I was using and I haven't gotten a new on yet......so I am going to try and go from memory......wish me luck!

Francie~ That is a cool tidbit about you! We got married on Mother's Day weekend. Our first anniversary happened to fall on Mother's Day, and it happens to fall on Mother's Day this year!

Francie- Happy birthday to you! My first DD was born on Mother's Day. Very cool. But you showed who was boss right from the start by appearing on the baby shower day, right? Anyway, have a great day!!!

Mindee- Hope the kiddos are not getting sick. Yes, I had one with middle child syndrome...although she was the baby until she was 11, then became middle child. She is still the brat! LOL

Susan- Oh, wow, maybe seeing McD again? He is persistent, no?

Jules- Hello, good to see you. I would love to post pics. of the yard. When things get nice and full I shall. It looks better every day.

HI to everyone else...gotta run.

It is FREEZING in this library!!!

Another quickie because I had some emails to do and I am limited and anal...and that is my story and I am sticking to it!!

lol

Sue - omg. McD's favorite saying is "lighten up"....kind of takes the wind out of my sails and makes me feel I might be dramatic.
Impossible. lol
Or he will say "Drama" when I talk about the kids and he kind of rolls the word off his tongue. lol
He is pretty laid back and funny so what the heck and he promises cheesebread and he has a awesome wine opener, so the deal is done! lol

Francie - Wonderful on the eating and hope your arm is feeling better. Have you ever tried kickboxing??

Cristina - I am in between books right now. Chicken salad sounds good! Gab was trying to get me to Burger King yesterday so she could play in the play area and I said I couldn't eat anything there and she said I could have a salad. She is so sweet. She calls her lettuce on her hamburger "salad". We drive up to drive thru and she says "no pickles, no mustard, no salad" on her burger. lol

Mindee- Writing down helps a lot! I didn't realize til I started it up again last week. I hopped on the scale and I see 162 right there in sight so I am thrilled on that! Anyway - hugs to you and the kids!!

Watched the Bachelor and I am wanting Shayne to get the final rose!! She is so funny and I loved the hat she wore last night.

Katy, Jules, Sassy a BIG HELLO!!

Chat later!

popping in here while I have some time to do so. now I have to figure out what I am going to make myself for dinner. the boys have these kid cuisine meals that they can have. I have a couple Lean Cuisine paninis that I can make myself one......but I will see if they are any good. they have been in there for a while.

Francie~ Happy Birthday!!!!!

Sue~ Thanks for the nice words of advice. So, the middle child syndrome never goes away, huh?

SusieQ~ Great job on seeing 162! I would love to see that number, but I am taking my sweet time getting there! I didn't get a chance to write down what I ate on Saturday and Sunday, but I did get what I ate down yesterday.

off to grab some yogurt while the kids are asleep

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!! :grouphug: You all are sweet:D

Mindee~How cool you get to celebrate mothers day and your anniversary all on one day!!

Sue~LoL!! Ya I guess I did. I was spoiled right from the beginning. My poor mother, lol.

Susan~No, I havent tried kickboxing. But the boxing on the Wii is just as fun. When I woke up today, my arms didnt hurt..yay!! LoL!!



Well..my day got off to a good start, then got bad, then it changed to being good again. I woke up all happy because Fonzo left me a post it on my comp that says Happy Birthday, lol. I know its just a post it, but it was sweet. He drew little hearts all over it, lol. But then that one chick sent me a friend's request on myspace. She's all like.."I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, even though you dont care" Ugh..that put a black cloud over my happy day. And not only that, but she changed her defult name to "Happy Birthday To You" okay like wth..we're not friends, so why would she do that? Freakin stalker. But whatever..all my other friends made me feel better, lol. :D

I did The Biggest Loser Power Sculpt. I did the warm up, level 1, and cool down w/Jillian..and omg. I sweated soooooo much, lol. I feel totally good though. I'll probably feel it tomorrow, lol.

Anyhoo..I'm gonna go play some Wii..bbl!!

Hello ladies...

FRANCIE...hope you are enjoying your special day. I do the tanning bed. Funny...my friend Lourdes had her baby on the day of her baby shower too! Of course they waited until almost the last minute to have it...little Sarah decided she wasn't waiting. Hey, at least you are getting a workout with the Wii...boxing is good for sure. WTG on the eating and exercise! :carrot:

SASSY...hope you are feeling better today. Darn allergies...I think they got the best of me and reared their ugly head this morning.

SUSAN...Gaby is too cute! I wish you and McD the best whatever you guys do...and how can you resist cheesebread anyway, lol? Or homemade strawberry shortcake, mmmm.

HIYA JULES...good seeing you post, miss you when you're not here. And thanks...I am working hard. The weight isn't coming off but it will eventually. Still going to do the exercise regardless. WTG on walking the porperty. :carrot: Hoping all is well with you and yours.

SUE...hi and bye, lol!

MINDEE...that's a good walk, a hour around the complex. You guys must live in a huge one. And taking Marissa with the stroller would give you a better workout lifting the stroller.

HIYA KATY!

Busy day...went tanning this morning and had to go to the grocery store. Got in my exercise except for the 30 minutes Denise Austin that I will do after Jeopardy. Went to see Baby Moma...thought it would be funnier but it was good. I like Tina Fey so...anywho, gotta run. Chat tomorrow :wave:
