Back In Kindergarten #42
 

Good Morning Chickie's! :belly:

I am sorry, I am too lazy to paste and copy post over to here.

I did look at the Devils Pool link Sassy, it looks awesome! I wouldn't do it though. lol

Walked 2 miles yesterday afternoon! I still need to get some shoes, these old Keds are making my legs ache.

Didn't make the PTA movie after all , just pooped. Gab and I crawled in bed at 6:30 and read books. Turned the lights off at 7pm and it was still light. I remember as a little girl my mom putting us to bed when the sun was just setting. Thought she was nuts. lol Gab went to bed right away, she must have been tired. When I picked her up from school she was crying. It is national turn your tv off week (something like that) and she said the teacher said the class couldn't watch tv. lol. I said, "we can watch movies though!!" so , we have watched Enchanted 8 times.

Ate some wheat pasta w/ sauce for dinner and crunched my ice with what teeth I have left. I know I need to stop munching ice but I am addicted.

k- better get for now! Hope you all have a great morning!

Hello ladies...

SUSAN...7:00, man that is early. Lately I've been getting sleepy by 10:30'ish and am back on my schedule of getting up early...feels good to not waste away in bed most of the morning. Actually, I like wasting away in bed, lol. What time do you guys get up when you go to bed early? WTG on the 2 miles, woohoo! Enchanted is definitely a good/cute movie.

SASSY...you should have told DH to take that ice cream back where he got it, lol. Ice cream actually sounds good right now, lol. Oh man...there is no way I would do that! No freakin' way! I am scared to death of heights and I would be so afraid of falling over.

MINDEE...did the neighbor not have any pliers, or a screwdriver or something to turn the water off from the tub? Geez, louise...that's crazy letting the water run til the hubby got home.

FRANCIE...how are you today? Still celebrating that BD that's coming up?

HIYA JULES...thinking of you! :hug:

HIYA SUE & KATY :wave:

Such a beautiful day today! :sunny: Supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday though...that's fine, I'll take it-like I have a choice :lol: I did my exercise for the day...110 minutes and that feels good getting that done and out of the way. I normally like to break it up but today I was all gung ho and just did it! Put some plant food on the flowering shrubs and roses and now getting some laundry done and my computer time. Will work on the candles later...those things are going slow...thank goodness I have time. It's a pain in the arse getting the name and date to show so I do a few and stop, lol. Once I get them wrapped I have to glue a flower in the center and they will be done and done! I kind of like ths colors and am so glad that I was able to get the wedding day scent. Anyway, hoping to get some reading done too. I started The Memory Keepers Daughter and it is good but the words are small, yikes! Anywho...

Have a beautiful day ladies! :flow2:

Here's what I'm working on...

popping in while I have a split second.....both Brandon and Marissa are awake right now.

nothing really new on this end.....another nice day around our neck of the woods! Brandon has his hearing test tomorrow, and in fact they already called to confirm his appointment with the doctor tomorrow! I can't believe that four years ago today I was sitting in my hospital bed wondering when I was going to meet my little boy!

I too, took a look at that link that Sassy posted! It looks like it is nice and relaxing, but you won't find me anywhere near it!

SusieQ~ National turn off your tv week? I didn't hear anything about that...I guess that is why mine is usually on Disney from the time I get up at 7am until noon when I watch the news. Then I watch what I want to watch while the kids are napping. Then usually at 5pm, we turn on Monster Jam, and they watch monster truck racing. From 6pm to 7pm, we turn on Rachael Ray, then from there we go back to the speed channel for Pinks and Pass Time. Then the kids start heading to bed, and I can watch what I want to watch again!

Cristina~ I am not sure why she had to wait until her husband got home. But he was only some place around the corner because when Tommy went to go upstairs her husband showed up. THEN Tommy went to go upstairs to keep an eye on the maintenance guy like the office manager told him to do, the lady upstairs wouldn't let him in! (which I find really odd and am wondering if she is trying to keep something hidden) Right after she moved in, her husband showed up and she called the cops on him saying that he threatened that he was going to get a gun and kill her. Mind you, she didn't press any charges, and let him stay in the apartment when she left to go get her daughter from school! She told the office manager that she was in the process of leaving her husband and getting a divorce, but yet she is having him inside the apartment not even two days after she moved in!

TV Turn off Day 2...and we're still in it, folks!

We tell the kids if they make it until Saturday, we'll buy them each a new book. This year, it hasn't been much of a fuss with them..it's a busy week in general so they haven't been missing it too much. Here's the link to the group behind it.
idk, I think it's good to try it now and again, it shows them that there are other ways to feed their brains ....but to each their own. I'm no zealot, but I've known a few who believe tv rewires their little brains and makes them hyperactive. I think if it's on 24/7 then maybe, but a few shows here and there are not going to hurt them.

Susan- I hope to see Enchanted soon..it looks so cute! Yay for the 2 miles! I woke up with a stuffy nose and didn't do anything today :(

Cristina - the candles look great! The Memory Keeper's Daughter is really good. I cried twice in that book - maybe you can figure out where? I just saw that Lifetime made a movie out of that book and it looks good, too. Maybe I can get the IL's to tape it off their cable for me.

Mindee- Hope the plumbing get resolved soon - otherwise get out your buckets!

HI Sassy, Jules, and Sue!


Well, MIL and I are off to see the Yarn Harlot tonight. She's a blogger and really funny. She makes knitters do crazy things - should be a very entertaining evening. And now we are off to DS' piano lesson then to Supercuts for his buzzcut. I hope this stuffy nose doesn't turn into a yucky cold...last thing I need right now :dizzy: Have a great afternoon everyone!

Hey all,

Colorful post Cristina!! I love the candles, I like doing creative stuff like that. We sleep til 7am....lol, today we were up at 6:30 though.

Mindee- We don't watch that much tv. I let Gab watch SuperWhy in the morning, it teaches sounds and such and she loves that show, otherwise it is mainly Clifford and Arthur or Animal Planet.

Katy - Yes, Enchanted is cute. The songs are running through my head constantly......"How will she know that you love her, how will she know???"....la la la la.....omg. shoot me know. I like the chipmunck, cracks me up.

Hi to MIA's Francie, Jules, Sassy and Sue!!

Going to do laundry and get Gab to swimming. Finished In her shoes and cried at the end....*eyes roll*,,,I am pmsing.

Mixing pink lemonade and orange juice together.....trying to pretend will get me tipsy...lol...it is so yummy, I like the taste.

k- that was my inspiring post!! Dancing results tonight!! Yippeeee.

Hello Ya'all
 

just popping in before I have to go and frost some cupcakes! I got some dinner finally and finished up the cupcakes....Tommy just got home from Lodge too.

Katy~ I agree with you on letting the kids watch some shows here and there, as long as it is not on 24/7. The kids get to watch what they want to watch, and then it is time for mommy and daddy to watch tv.

SusieQ~ Any plans in the works with McD this weekend? What channel is SuperWhy on? I will have to go and look to see if it is on here in MI. There is a program on here called Word World. It is a show that helps kids put words together so they can see what the words look like and then it takes shape of the object it is making.

Just stopping by to say hi real fast!!


Katy~The movie on The Memory Keeper's Daughter was just okay. They seemed to just hit on the major stuff really, and some of it changed a little bit. It was too short for me, lol.

Sassy~I showed Fonzo the pics to the Devil's Swimming Pool..and he thought it looked awesome!! We totally wanna go to it now, lol.


Anyways..today is Fonzo's last day of leave, which is why I've been MIA lately. Just been spending as much time w/him as possible. We found the On Demand & Pay Per View buttons on our DVR, and we feel totally stupid that we forgot all about it, lol. So last night we watched Bouwolf (spl?)..it was weird. Not at all what I expected it to be. Today we finally watched I Am Legend, it was pretty good. And as soon as dinner is done, we'll be watching The Borne Ulitmatium. I also saw a TON of movies that I wanna watch when Fonzo is gone (ie..chick flicks or movies he doesnt wanna see, lol).

Anyhoo..I'm rambling. I'll catch up w/everyone tomorrow morning.

Susan~Natiaonl Turn Your Tv off week?!?! But then I would miss America's Next Top Model and Law & Order!!!! Nooooooooooo...lol. I dont believe in such a thing.

Francie~ I was wondering where you were at! I forgot that Fonzo was on leave this past week. The last movie I saw was Flicka, and I DVR'd that at the end of February! And I just watched that about a week ago! I do have Walk The Line on my DVR now, and on Saturday I am going to DVR the movie Crash.

Mindee~Crash & Walk The Line are good movies. I dont think I'll watch Flicka because its an animal movie and I dont watch those anymore, lol. I think the next movies I'll get will probably be...PS I Love You (although, I'm still unsure about it..because I read the book and all..), Becoming Jane, Waitress, The Jane Austin Book Club, American Gangsters & Into The Wild. I've been wanting to see those movies for awhile now.

HI Francie - sorry I forgot to say hi in the last pot - thx for the word on Memory Keeper's Daughter...I'll eventually see it, but I won't run right out. I liked both Crash and Walk the Line very much. If you want a funny, raunchy spoof of Walk the Line ( and other biopic-type movies) Walk Hard is very funny. idk if it's on demand yet or not.

Mindee - Enjoy the birthday parties...I can't remember when you said the bds were , but Happy Birthday to Brandon and Marissa!

HI to Jules, Sassy, Susan, and Cristina!

Another busy day on tap. Had a long and interesting visit with the homeopath yesterday, should have some remedies for Leigh in about a week. Harlot was great, too. MIL laughed alot and we had a great time. There were 400 knitters there and I don't think either of us has seen that many knitters in one place before...and we were all knitting on something. It was a great opportunity for people-watching.

Today I go for a massage and take L to the "therapaws" counselor, for what will hopefully be only one visit - she's spendy. Funny sidenote - my son is extremely jealous that his sis gets to see a therapist that uses dogs in her practice. He said "Why can't something be wrong with me? She gets all the fun!" Homeopath affirmed my gut instinct that L's food issues are genetic, but that doesn't really help for coming up with a solution to her severe food aversions. It just means rewarding or coercing her to eat new foods will do absolutely no good. We'll just have to see how this all plays out. I'm so glad I have a massage this morning- I need it!

Katy~Omg, I've been wanting to see Walk Hard for awhile. I think we may end up buying it the next time we go to the store. I like John C. Riley. Cant wait for his new movie w/Will Ferrell to come out.


Well..Fonzo leave is officially over. He left for work about a half hour ago. All is good though. Well sorta. I gained back 3 pounds while he was on leave. It was mostly my fault. I gave in to emotional eating, and stopped exercising (except for the occasional walk every now & then). But I've decided that once he leaves..I'll go back to exercising and eating right. I'm gonna get all my dvds together and do one for every day of the week. And if I dont have enough, then I'll just rotate them. I want to look somewhat hot when I visit him this summer. We'll see what happens.

Well..I woke up too early..so I'm gonna go read until I fall asleep again. BBL

Good Morning -

A quickie because I am distracted. A friend wrote an email and mentioned a tiff we had 4 years ago. I mean, that was not a good time for me. I don't want to chat about 4 years ago. lol

Mindee - SuperWhy is on public tv here. It is a realy cute show and Gab learns a lot from it. I don't know about plans w/ McD, need for Gab's dad to take her for me. Is it birthday day today?????:?:

Cristina - How many candles do you have to do? You do so good on your exercise!

Sassy - lol..........omg , if I was there I would have waken you up!!

Francie - Sorry about Fonzo leaving, it is sweet that you were able to spend time together :)

katy - I am living for the weekend!! lol Suppose to be in the 60's, thank goodness.

Watched American Idol last night. I think it will be either Brook or Jason leaving tonight. I think it will be #1 David Cook #2 David A and #3 Carly in the end. I really like Carly though.

anyway - better get...............

Hello ladies...

KATY...the monkey's are too cute! Reminds me of the sock monkey's. My mother made all the grandkids one years ago when Jason was a baby and didn't make anymore, so the other two didn't get one darn it. I passed on the movie because I knew I was getting ready to read the book...always think the book(s) is better than the movies made. I do want to see it though, of course now it's not on, lol. Funny about what DS said, lol...silly boy.

SUSAN...I have 100 candles to do and have 14 done, lol. They'll get done though, might be minus the flowers but they will get done. Sorry for the friends e-mail and bringing up the tiff :hug:

Ugh, I just heard thunder...was trying to get in my computer time before the storms hit...guess it is supposed to be bad.

FRANCIE...I liked the movie Crash...Waitress was good too, but sad to me because the girl being killed in real life. I actually liked American Gangsters too...didn't think I would. I like Denzel just didn't think I would like this movie for some reason. Glad you enjoyed your time with Fonzo.

MINDEE...sounds like the lady can't make up her mind about the hubby. Eat a cupcake for me! :D I have been craving them for some reason. I think I am going to make some for my birthday. DD said "You're going to make your own cake?" Why not? I don't care for the store bought ones and this way I can get what I want. DH always wants to buy me one but last year I said NO! We went to Olive Garden for my BD dinner and I had dessert there and that was enough. Anyway...cute avatar! Love seeing all the different pics of the kids.

SASSY...the turd, lol. DH that is, for not waking you, lol. Glad you got the shift/hours you wanted! Hmmm, the boss is being nice? Wonder what's up with him? Who cares...enjoy it while you can!

HIYA JULES & SUE...always feel like I am forgetting someone, hope not.

Nothing much going on with me today. I definitely will get a big chunk of the book done and hoping to be done with it tomorrow. I am slacking in the reading this month! Already did my exercise...I bought this Walkblaster/Slim Shape & Sculpt ffrom Leslie Sansone and did all three dvds, plus a 20 minute walk on the treadmill. And thank you Susan...I have finally made exercise a priority in my life and it feels good. You would not believe how guilty I feel if I miss a day, even my free day! It just feels good to do it and I am taking advantage of the time because I know there will come a time where I won't be able to do as much. So will do it as long as I am able. I want to be fit well into my 70's or even longer, at least my 60's lol. Anywho...

Have a great day!

just popping in here before we have to head out to get Brandon's hearing test! I am excited and nervous at the same time! then we will go to Wal-Mart to order their birthday cake!

I will have to pop back in later since I was just informed that we have to leave here shortly.

Susan~Sorry about the friend bringing up the tiff from 4 years ago, lol. I guess some people cant let things go.

Cristina~I love Denzel. He is one really really good actor, who should've won an Oscar a really long time ago. I know that he won one, but he should've won like 5 of them by now, lol. What book are you at now?? I stopped reading Certain Girls because it was making me mad, lol. So I started reading The Time Traveler's Wife. I tried to read it when I went to pick Fonzo up from the airport last Aug. But I was so nervous about seeing him, I didnt read a word of it, lol.

Mindee~I hope Brandon's hearing test goes well. :)


Well..Fonzo came home and told me that date that they're offically leaving. It freakin blows because its so soon..now we just have to wait to know what time they have to be on the ship...

Oh..it was so cute. I spent a good part of the morning bird watching with my cats, LOL!! We've noticed that birds come in for a landing on our balcony and the cats just go crazy for them. So Fonzo put out some leftover bird seed that we had (we used to have 2 birds-rip). So now there are just lots of birds stopping by our balcony for some food. All 3 cats are just sitting there staring at them, lol. Its the first time all 3 of them have been interested in the same thing, lol. Its so cute too!!

Anyhoo..I'm gonna go make some lunch right now..BBL

I escaped Gabrielle!!! Thank goodness.

I went to BK and picked her up a cheeseburger kids meal and I bought a grilled salad for myself.
She plays around w/ her food and I ate her fries, thinking she is full and done with the meal.
She plops in front of the dvd and puts in Dreamer (because it is "turn your tv off week" and *mommy* found a loop hole *snicker*) .
Says she is hungry 10 minutes into it and so I have to lift my large arse off the couch where I settled in to read Goodnight Nobody and fix her some Mac and Cheese. .....3 hours later I am having 3fc w/d and so here I am!!

I dropped her off at the ex's and I have to go grocery shopping in a second. Blah - blah

Francie - I think the friend had a different take on the tiff and thought to revisit it in the email. I just remember that period as depressing and I have no desire to relive the riff, I kind of resented it for a bit this morning but figure she had some guilt and realizes I was right.
As I always am. lmao.....:D
My kitties are obsessed w/ the chipmunk that comes and hangs around.

Cristina - lol ......umm, I know what you are doing in your spare time!! That is a lot of work, can't you get help?? I like crafts but don't think I would have the patience for that. Bravo again on the exercising.

Mindee- Hope you get some good news w/ the hearing test!

k- better get some shopping in. :D

Mindee- :bday2you: It is Brandon's birthday?? I thought his hearing test was going to be on his birthday and all this cupcake talk. Anyway - hate to miss wishing him a wonderful day!! Now when is Marissa's?? :dizzy:

Rach found 2 rolls of film that have never been developed so took them in to the 1 hour photo. Need to pick up some fruit and head home and watch American Idol.

Walked 2 miles and ate 2 small bowls of homemade chili for dinner. Feel stuffed. My water intake is good with being addicted to ice water and all. lol

anyway- chat tomorrow and you all have a good night!

Hey Ya'All
 

Susan~I would love for my old friends to admit that I was right..lol. But they're hot headed, so that would never happen, lol.

Sassy~My cats are seriously obsessed with bird watching now, lol. That is so cute that your cat has a dvd, lol. Only one of my cats likes to watch tv. She likes anything with action and Sex & The City. Which is a different kind of action, lmao!! J/k!! Tomorrow we're gonna go out and find a pine cone and put peanut butter & bird seed all over it. We're gonna do it up kindergarden style, lol. ;)

Anyhoo...my show is about to start..so I gotta go make my popcorn and get some more water. BBL

Francie -- My cat actually has 2 DVD's! lol. We bought a "Cat Sitter" DVD a long time ago that has birds, squirrels, rats, fish, etc on that you can loop for your kitties to watch over and over again! :lol: Hmmmmmm pine cone and pb and bird seed, eh? Is it the all natural PB? lol........

:hug:

we went to B's hearing test and it went okay.

The ENT called us into the room, and started to ask some questions. Before the exam even started, he asked how often he had ear infections. I told him that I didn't know exactly how many but when we lived with my parents he had a lot since they smoke. But now that nobody smokes in our house, he hasn't had that many. He then went about looking in B's ears.

He said that B has fluid in his right ear with some scar tissue. He then checked B's left ear, and said that he had some scar tissue in there. Then he checked in his mouth. He had to ask B if he had Clifford in his mouth in order to get B to open wide enough. B did, and the ENT said that his tonsils were +1, whatever that means. But he did also add that they looked good.

Then we went back out into room and waited for the audiologist to come and get him. They went off into a different room, and the guy came back and looked at me and said "they will call you back over in a minute." So, when I heard that I knew that it probably wasn't going to be good news.

The ENT called us back over and said that he recommends getting B into an ENT to take care of the fluid in his ear. He said that they might give him either a nasal spray or an antibiotic to help with the fluid. And if either of those don't help with the fluid, then he will more then likely need to get tubes in. He also told me basically what it sounds like to B in his right ear......the way he described it was if B was under water or if he had stuck his finger in his ear.

So, now I get to call the list of doctor's that they gave me to see if any of them take B's insurance. I am hoping that the ENT that saw him today takes his insurance since B was really comfortable with him.

Francie~ I love watching birds too.......but I usually watch them with my three little kiddies. Our cat doesn't get too interested in them....she has more fun sleeping all over the house!

SusieQ~ That sounds like my kids! They do that all the time! I usually just put their food that they had on their plates off to the side for when they are hungry. Although, we had lasagna for dinner for Brandon's birthday, and both boys ate like they hadn't eaten in days! Tommy asked me if I had fed them and I told him that I did.

As for birthday clarifications.......the 23rd (yesterday) was Brandon's birthday........the 24th (today) is Marissa's birthday!

Thanks for the birthday wishes for Brandon guys! He had a great birthday! We gave him his Cars watch and he had to put it on immediately! Of course, we had to buy Logan one too since we knew he would be right there waiting for something for him. We had lasagna and garlic bread for dinner on Wednesday for Brandon's birthday. I asked Marissa was she wanted for dinner for her birthday and her response was "hisssssssssss" which is what she does when she is trying to blow raspberries. So, I will probably make her some mashed potatoes or something for lunch........not really sure what we will have for dinner as of yet.

Sassy~ Those cupcakes sound cute! I saw a picture of an interesting cupcakes. I want to make them sometime! This lady on another board that I post on, took six different colors and mixed them into six different cake mixes. Then she took a little bit of each color and put them all into and then cooking them. They turned out so cool and I could see using them for a spring or summer event!

Good morning everyone!! Why so quiet in here???

Sassy~That is just too funny that your cat has dvds, lol. I bet if I told Fonzo about that, he'd wanna get our cats some dvds, lol. They are too spoiled!! I dunno if the peanut butter is natural. To be honest, I've only done it one time, lol..and that was in kindergarden. But I remember the birds went crazy for it after we hung it up. I guess its kinda like a ghetto bird feeder, lol.

Mindee~Happy Birthday to Marissa!!!!

Good Morning Chicks!!

Mindee- Wow, you had your kids a day apart? You rock! haha, jk.

:hug: to little Brandon, poor guy. Hope you guys are ok on the insurance coverage!!!:hug:

:celebrate:HaPpY BiRtHdAy to Marissa!!!!:celebrate:

Sassy - You are asking me about exercise?? lol Umm, in my past I was an Exercise Queen:queen:. I think the trick is to realize YOU are the most important thing and everything else that may seem important (I am not saying your job or your husband) isn't really. If you don't take care of yourself, who is??
Hmmmm, answer me!! lol
So, I think once you make exercise a part of your life it does become easier, you pretty much have to do it or you get chipmunkie. Kind of like sex. lol Yippeee to your Friday!!!

Francie - I am just reading between the lines in the email. I am sure when she says I didn't really mean the things that were said translates to "omg - how could I have been so wrong Susan?? I hope you can find in your heart to truly forgive me and let me leave all my worldly goods to you, even before I die!!" lol

I am thirsty!! I decided to be stricter in counting my calories and make it a habit to read labels.
This morning instead of going to Noah's I went to the store and bought bagels and turkey and ate 1/2 a bagel (115 cal) and some turkey (80 cal) and a small banana (thinking 100 cal ?) So, 295 cal so far for the day.

I developed those desposable cameras and they were of Gab's trip to Encanated Forest and the other one was from our trip to Hawaii.

omg - I was hefty! I stared at my legs in some tight capris, it must have been at least 30 pounds ago. I made it my before picture and taped it to the fridge.

Totally annoyed w/ American Idol!! With all the running around I let Gab stay up and watch. I was upset w/ Carly going, how wrong was that?? It was VERY wrong. So, they call her name and I say BS and Gab starts to cry that she loves Carly, it hurts her heart, she is going to miss her...."...omg, Gab has never even seen the show beofre, poor tyke. So, I calmed her down and got her into bed.

better get!! chat more later maybe!!

Hello ladies...

I'll be back. I know, why even bother posting to say this, lol. Didn't figure I would have so much reading to catch up on...you ladies were busy bee's with the posting.

I'll be back later though for sure to catch up.

Have a good day!

popping in here while the boys argue over a truck and Marissa enjoys some yummy crackers!

SusieQ~ Yup, I am that talented that I had them a day apart. I am even more talented since all three of my kids are 18 months apart from the one before them, and all together I had them in a time span of three years and a day!

Another lovely little tidbit, I actually sat down and figured out that I have been pregnant every year since July of 2003 until April of 2007! (Isn't that just lovely on the body?)

I have a TON of rolls of film that I am going to push to getting developed when we get the check from the government. There are rolls from back when Brandon was a baby! So, it will be lovely to look and see how I have changed body wise since then!

Francie~ Thanks for the birthday wishes for her! I love the new picture!

Cristina~ How are you doing?

Afternoon,

Mindee- I love pictures! I really need to organize and get them all into photo albums. When the R's were little I did such a good job of it but after seperating w/ the ex all went to pots. You are a very talented lady!!

Cristina- I don't mind the "I'll be back" it's the " I smell and need a shower" that grosses me out. lol

I am up to 635 cal for the day. I had a lunch of chicken tenderloin, green beans and cottage cheese for 340 cal , added to the 295 cal for breakfast =635 total so far. I am aiming for 1200 min and 1500 max.
I was going to have a Mothers cookie english tea, looked at the label and it 90 cal a cookie.
You need at least 5 to make it worth my time and that would have been way too much misc calories.
So, I skipped that and felt pretty good.

Knowledge is Power! Power to the People!! lol

I am almost done w/ Goodnight Nobody with nothing in sight to read. I hope I get a book in tomorrow!!

Swimming tonight , otherwise all is quite here.

Hello to everyone!

OMG!! You guys check out this video. Its a Turkish man belly dancing!! LoL!! I like how he shakes his tush at the end, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkGdS0u47BY

Hiya Chickies...

FRANCIE...I didn't know which video it was...I did look at a couple though, lol. I'm not sure what # book I am on...thinking it is 24, or 25???? I can't remember...too many other things on my mind. I would have to look at my list...thank goodness for lists! Hey, you guys laugh about dvds for cats but when I put ernie dog in the bedroom when someone is over I turn the t.v. on for him. DIL to be thought I was crazy, lol. He likes to have some kind of noise whether it be the tv or radio, lol.

SASSY...see above what I wrote to Francie, lol. I don't care for frosting either. I like plain choc or white cupcakes, lol. DH always says the frosting is the best part, eh...whatever. Hey, there are some exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk...not sure where I saw them.

SUSAN...I would rather just do them all myself...that way they all look the same, lol. Charlotte did offer to come over and help, of course that was a few weeks ago. I told her if I needed some help I would give her a call. Too close to the wedding now and I know she has a zillion other things to do. DD refuses to help, lol which is fine. I actually don't mind. I have half of them done now. If I go and let the dog out I'll stand there while he is out and do a couple so today I think I got about 15 done. Sounds like you are doing well with the calorie counting missy. I never could do the calorie counting which is stupid because I managed to count points with WW, lol. Basically the same thing. Yeah, wasn't stinky and needed a shower, lol.

MINDEE...a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both Marissa & Brandon! :bday2you::woo::balloons: Boy, the time has gone by too fast, another year older! Hope the insurance covers everything for B.

HIYA JULES, KATY & SUE! :wave:

Today was wally world day...not sure why but it was weird. The parking lot was practically empty, definitely less cars than usual. But while in the store there were people everywhere, not sure where they came from, lol. Ran to Hallmark looking for a huge bow for the luggage for J & C...couldn't find one. We bought them a few things on their list but only giving them the set of luggage for the bridal shower. Going to make my own bow out of the netting I have left...not even going to attempt to wrap it. Anyway, while there found a few little things for my mother for mother's day...might as well get it early...have to send it early anyway.

Got in 130 minutes of exercise and I am pooped! No reading :( I have got to get that stinking book finished!!! Now is not a good time to be reading though...been too busy for some reason and the time I usually read (in the evening) I am too pooped and just want to go to bed. Anyway...tomorrow is another busy one. Have to go to the mall and have my rings checked and cleaned, take a hat back that was a gift for V but is too small and look for a shawl, wrap or sweater ugh! I really do hate shopping.

Have a good evening ladies. I am going to take myself upstairs and possibly get in 30 minutes of reading, maybe a hour. See ya tomorrow!

Cristina~I tried the link, and it takes me right to the video. Weird. LoL @ the dvd for the dog. I always turn the light on for the cats when I put them in the bedroom, lol. I dunno why, they can see perfectually in the dark, lol.

Hi Girlies!
 

just popping in here before heading off to bed!

there is still a lot of cleaning that has to get done before the party on Saturday, and Tommy told me when he got home from work today that he has to work on Saturday. So, guess who gets to do, pretty much all of the cleaning and what not......you guessed it ME! Mind you, on top of taking care of the kids!

Sassy - keeping fingers crossed for your DH!
Gonna be a quickie this morning, so HI and (((((HUGS)))) to everyone else today!

I lost a measly .10 pound at yesterday's WI but that's ok with me...pms-ing hard here and all I want is chocolate, mmmmm.

Today I am off to work in the garden at the elementary school so that will be good exercise. Then I need to clean house big time. FIL is babysitting over here tomorrow and my dad is coming for a visit on Sunday. This week has been way tooo busy - I need some R&R.

Cheers

Sassy~I hope your dh is a real pain to your boss. That is really stupid that only the brown nosers got the schedules they wanted. Next time you see one of them, just tell them that they have some brown stuff on their nose, lol. It sucks that you're gonna be a single lady for a month. But we can be single gals together and paint the town pink!! Or at least the internet pink, lol. But I hope your dh does well on the test!!! I'll keep my :crossed: for you guys!!


Well..last night I wrote out my workout plan for the next 2 months. It pretty much starts the day Fonzo leaves. Heres how it looks (I wont go into total detail like I did on paper, lol)

Monday: WATP The 3 Mile Walk
Tuesday: TBL Power Sculpt
Wednesday: Core Ball
Thursday: Walk Slim
Friday: 30 Day Shred
Sat: Meditation
Sun: Day of rest (with some light outside walking)

I'm pretty excited about working out now!!

Happy Friday!! (Sassy's Saturday - did I get that right?? )


Like I have said before I am lame and have to use library computers. This young lady is typing away annoying the &^%$ out of me. Not only because she can type faster but she has a cold coffee drink and every few minutes she stops and stirs the damn thing but doesn't sip any....she just goes back to typing.
Why does she have to stir??
Why doesn't she sip some and be done with it??
Maybe she is so jittery she can't stop to drink??

anyway - bzillion questions and no answers, pisses me off. :mad:

Cristina - Even with all your hours of exercise you are never stinky and too much of a lady to get on the computer and tell us you are stinky. :dizzy:

I mean I love all you ladies but keep your B.O to yourself , Please!! lmao....

Back to Cristina - Awesome on the 130 minutes!! You seem to have the wedding prep down to a T, I am sure it will be a beautiful day when it finally gets here.

Mindee- Sorry you have to clean all by yourself. You should lean out the window and call the birds and other critters (I wasnt' going to say city rats, ick) to come help w/ the cleaning. Yes, I have watched Enchanted over 10 times and am about to go bonkers.

Sassy - I have written your schedule down. Of course I care about your stupid little life!!! lol............:hug::hug: it is not stupid!! Just seems busy, busy and i try to keep up with it!! :) Crossing fingers on the husband job opportunities!!
I love mushrooms, I don't cook w/ them as much as I should because the girsl won't eat them, but sounds yummy!!

Francie - I think the writing down helps a lot - both in food and exercise. I am sure you will have success with the workout plan!

Katy - Hope you get some R & R!! Suppose to be mid 60's this weekend, the sun being out should cheer us all up! Going to see former Pres. Clinton tomorrow when he comes in town, just wanna see what he looks like in person!! lol

Hi to Jules & Sue.....is that everyone?? :?:

Very happy with the calorie counting! Seemed to help a lot w/ the late night snacking and when I reached 1436 calories I was done eating. I bought a Luna bar and ate 2 pancakes w/ 2 sausage links and 2 red vines. Guessed at the calories but think I was dangerously close to 1500! lol

So, today I get to start all over again!

Gab goes to her fathers tomorrow,so I guess I get a date night w/ McD. We were going to the Pres.Clinton thing and have dinner out, so I have to save a lot of my calories for dinner tomorrow.

Didn't get any exercise in so I will try today! I had nothing to read last night but I see Tending Roses came in today, so I will pick that up for the weekend. It is suppose to be sunny weather so I am soooooo glad.

Chat at you all later!!

Hiya ladies....

Another busy one and I am pooped...glad I got an early start on the day, sort of. Have I told you how much I hate shopping? UGH!

SUSAN...wish I could meet Clinton too! Went to his library in Little Rock but there were soooo many people we didn't get to take it all in. So planning to do that another time. Enjoy your time with McD! WTG on the calorie counting missy! You crack me up, :lol:

KATY...sounds like you are busy as well. Hope you get some r&r soon. WTG on the .10...just remember, it all adds up in the end so any loss is good! :carrot:

SASSY...I will keep my fingers crossed for hubby. :crossed: And yes, we do care about your life and it's not stupid!

FRANCIE...I think it was just att.net last night being stupid...it gets in it's moods, lol. I tried it again and it went right to it...ummm, don't know how anyone can do that with their belly, yikes! At first I thought it was a woman...but not bad, lol. Sounds and looks like you have a good schedule worked out for ya. Ditto what Susan said.

MINDEE...sorry you have to clean by yourself. Of course if you are having a party why are you cleaning, lol? Kidding...I know we all want the place to be clean whether it gets messed up or not.

Hiya Jules & Sue :wave: Hoping all is well with you ladies.

Did I mention I bought a different dress for the wedding? Lol I did. Haven't gotten it yet, supposed to be today. I didn't really want to wear black after getting the black dress and it is still in the closet with the tags on so if this hot pink one doesn't fit right or I don't like how it looks I will go with the black. Just feel weird wearing black to a wedding even if it is the color. I found a wrap at Penneys, yay and some shoes at David's Bridal...they can dye them for me for like $3 I think she said. I brought them home though to see if I might like them white...if not I will have them dye them as close to the pink to match the dress. Anywho...SUSAN...I will be glad when the wedding is over! Taking too much of my reading time :lol: One more week! And next week I think will be more busy than this week ugh!

Did 70 minutes of exercise before leaving this morning and my muscles are aching. Have a 30 mn. dvd to do later and I think I will call it good. For some reason I woke up more tired than when I went to bed. So the exercise was going a little slow but I did it and that's all that matters. Anywhoooo....

Take care ladies, and have a GREAT Friday!

Susan~I'm a fast typer too..will you hate me now?? :( I dont do that with my drinks though. LoL!! First of all, I dont even drink coffee, and 2nd, I will actually drink it and not try to look cool, lol. I hope my exercise schedule works. J/w, how many calories are you supposed to be eating??

Cristina~My mom wore a very lovely blue pant suit to my wedding. I actually picked it out (cuz she was taking FoReVeR to make up her mind, lol). And it was on clearance, so she only paid liked $2 for it, lol. It was really pretty..it had some silver beading on it and the pants were kinda flowly. I dunno how to explain it really. I'll try and see if I can find something similar to it. In all the pics I have of her, she's sitting in her wheelchair, so you can see the pants. I actually burried her in that outfit. My grandma thought that was very nice too. Black is very elegant to wear to a wedding. A lot of people wore black to mine..and my bridesmaids wore black dresses. My aunt Charlotte wore cream to her daughter's (my cousin Sarah) wedding. It was kinda like the same outfit my mom wore, just in a different color, lol. Wear something that your comfy in. And even though next week will be super crazy..try to remember every moment. It goes by super fast..and its nice to have those crazy memories, lol.



Well..I just woke up from a nap awhile ago..and omg, I had my 2nd school dream in years. It was crazy. I woke up sweating, lol. I'll have to remember to tell Fonzo all about it when he comes home tomorrow.

Since I already have my workout plan. I'm gonna move on to my diet plan. Is it bad if I just buy Lean Cuisine?? I HATE cooking..especially in the summer when its really hot & stuffy in here. I mean...I'll buy fruits and veggies too..but for dinner, I just want Lean Cuisine. I plan on cutting out sweets. Thats my biggest thing. I'll just have to stock up on a TON of fruit. I think sunday will be my free day to eat chocolate. I cant give up chocolate. I'll be all alone, and will need some kind of comfort, lol. I dunno...maybe I wont give up low fat frozen yogurt either. I gotta think about this some more, lol.

Well..I'm gonna go make some lunch and watch one of the movies from Lifetime that I recorded. Fonzo has duty today, so its my chick flick day!! WooHoo!!

Hee Haw , Back again!

Cristina - 70 minutes of exercise?? You slacking girlfriend!! lol jk,,,,I would be tired too. I am thinking of my future husband and future job so I really don't have time to exercise! lol
Do you have a picture of the dress?? Would love to see!! You would look lovely in anything though :D

Francie - Yes, I am going to hate you if you type faster! lol Naw, jk. Just don't stir your damn drink and don't use one hand to hold the lid and one hand to hold the cup. Way intense and you aren't even drinking it. Just ruined my morning and it isn't the first time this lady has done that. She is a serial stir....er. How ever you spell that. I think buying LC would be ok!!

Mindee- The Happy Working Song!! :carrot: If we can't be there to help you clean we can at least sing!!!



Crap if 3fc doesn't have a Dove in there smilies! Whatever.....I tried. :dizzy:
