Back In Kindergarten #45
 

Hello ladies...

Thought I would start a new thread since we were a little over 100. Now to go back and catch up!

Okay, caught up...

SUSAN...ugh! Want me to come up there and kick his arse for you? Geez, what a jerk!!! Would it be possible to take him back to court? Sorry you have to go thru that stuff with him.

SUE...good to hear your mom is doing well, well enough to travel! Sounds like her and her sis's are going to have a GREAT time! There's a couple of used bookstores around here that daughter and I frequent...can't go too often because we get carried away, lol. Sounds lik you had quite the workout in your yard.

FRANCIE...CONGRAT'S to your BIL on his High School graduation next week! I've seen that show Snapped and I think crazy sums it up. Actually, I think the title of the show sums it up...I can totally understand why some people just snap. Depending on the traffic where the houses are...40 miles could be 40 minutes to 1 hour or possibly longer. Just totally depends on the traffic and whether he would have to go thru town or the freeway to get to work. Hope you are feeling better today.

MINDEE...it looked like you guys were a little chilly...love the avatar!

KATY...walk away from the pile, lol! Hoping all is well with you and yours.

JULES...thinking of you and hoping all is well with you and yours too! Have you heard from Ry, and how is he liking his new place?

Nothing much going on with me...same old stuff, different day. Went for my 3 mile walk this morning. Need to start going a little earlier than 8:30 though. It was just a little too warm. Getting ready to go do a dvd now and I will be done for the day. Trying to get back into eating right...been eating way too much junk lately. I don't have a TOM, or I haven't in months but I still get the cravings and unfortunately I've been giving in to them. On a brighter note, I've not gained, just haven't lost anything. So working on that this week and going to give it my best to get back on the losing bandwagon.

Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Susan~OMFG!!! That guy is a effin @$$hole!!! Ugh..reminds me of the nights my mom used to spend fighting with my father for child support. I hate loser men with such a passion. Take him back to court!!!! Recommend to the court that he should take parenting classes!!!!!

Cristina~Ya..1 more BIL has to graduate HS, then all my sibs in laws will be out of HS, lol. Fonzo thinks Angel (the one graduating next week..or was it this week? I cant remember) might join the Army or the Marines. But since he injured his knee in wrestling, he just might end up going to college. Oh..on Snapped..this one lesbo chick killed this other chick with a chainsaw!!!!!!!!! All because she thought she was coming between her & her lover. But the woman was straight and had a boyfriend. Talk about nuts!!



Well..I cleaned the bathroom today. Took me 2 freakin hours!!! I cleaned out the cabinets and the drawers. Found a lot of stuff that I havent seen since we moved in, lol. My feet hurt from standing and my legs hurt from crouching. Then I scrubbed down the shower..and ugh..my hands and wrists hurt from scrubbing so hard. Then I ended it all by mopping. So now my bathroom smells all purty.

And for some good news..I went from 185 to 183.6!! LoL!! All that from eating pizza and drinking during the week. Maybe I can thank my panic attacks for the sudden weight loss. I'm too scared to eat in case I have a panic attack again (I always throw up when I have one..and I hate throwing up).

Anyhoo...I shall go have some lunch and watch Center Stage. Busy night for tv. Its the end of Paradise Hotel 2..and I'm gonna record American Gladiators and watch The Bachelorette. I dunno why I like the Bachelorette better than the Bachelor, lol. Maybe because none of the relationships last. Except for Trista, lol. Anyways..I'm gonna go now.

I am back. Good looks like you all can be upset for me. lol
Thank you :)

Hard to catch up but I will give it a go! I fixed mac and cheese for Gaby and my usual for my lunch. I noticed I was so annoyed with FOTH (his new nickname) that I ate some of G's leftover mac and cheese without too much guilt. It is ok, because I didn't have breakfast. At leat we hope.

and oh ya.....:bravo: to Francie for the 183!!! Good for you.

Cristina - You are amazing with all the walking you do, you and Mindee both. I always crave my chocolate when I am TOM, the only time. When I was in my 20's I went over a year without TOM. Didn't worry me one bit, it probably should have. lol

Francie- I have a *self cleaning kitty*...I don't think I have ever given him a wash. He is so cute looking up from the tub after he laps up the dripping water. Last night he was peering out and I decided to weigh him and he was 14 pounds. I thought he was more. Can't wait for Bachelorette tonight! 2 hours of glorious guilt free tv....after 1 hour of DWTS....lol I saw your Laundry Thread yesterday....now you have a riot started??? lol

Mindee- How are you today? I will have to go back and check the photos again. I didn't see any water spraying. See, little things like that piss me off, how did I miss that?? haha. Anyway, what kind of things do you do w/ Brandon and the speech? Meant to ask too if you ever found Super Why on public tv?? It is so good at teaching the sounds and ABC"s.

Sue - Hugs to you and your mother! I am glad she is doing better, must be a huge relief. I like MHC too, been a while for one of her books though. Anyway, wonderful to see you post!! Miss you.

Jules - How you doing?? How is Ry?? Hope he is liking the Pacific NW and hope he made it to the coast over the weekend!! Miss you too! :)

Sassy- :hug: Praying for your husband, hope you are doing ok! :)

Katy - Ya, step away from the pile!! lol...I think we told you that last year too....always lose you around compost time. I am so jealous of your manure! lol

I hope I caught everyone.....if I didn't I apologize!

So, in regards to going back to court. Ya. I have to go and pick up the papers for CS to evaluate the CS amount based on me having no income and when I do it won't be the $19 an hour I was getting, I just know that.
As far as the courts M already has to do a parent evaluation that is why his visitation is suppose to be supervised at his fathers. Until he does that he see's Gab every other weekend and I am so annoyed now we are sticking with that. I told him that yesterday when he asked about Memorial Day weekend and I said no I was taking the girls somewhere and he says "now, don't get mad"...whatEVER, I wasn't mad just want my own weekend and want to take the girls somewhere....geez.
He can sleep and rest, take his dang tent and get eaten by a bear for all I care...lol.....

and I will say something nice about the other ex (my actual ex husband because M and I were never married, thank goodness) I had to take Rebecca to Target last night for Capri's and he gave me his bank card and said to buy Gaby an outfit too, so that was sweet.

Hee Haw,,,,and my next vent is about Rach!!! Little Turd. Maybe tomorrow. One vent per day :D

Hugs to you all!!

Susan~LoL @ getting eaten by a bear. That made me laugh. My cats are self cleaning too..but Fonzo likes to give them baths to make them smell all nice & purty. They look so funny when they're all wet. LoL!!


Well..I got a new book just now. Its called "Love The One You're With" by Emily Giffin. I cannot wait to read it!! She's another fave author of mine. I've read her other books. And I got a new dvd too called.."A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints." It has Shia Labeouf in it..so thats why I bought it, LoL!!! I think I'm gonna save the movie for this weekend because nothing good comes on. So ya..lol

Fonzo called me too!! YAY!!! I think talking to him helps me out a lot.

Well..off to eat some lunch finally, lol.

Francie - I am slowly making my way through an Elizabeth Berg book, I have heard the one you are reading now, let us know how you like it! I need another chick lit book.
I think my Momo would howl if I tried washing him, I use to wash with other cats that I have had.
Forget the bear,,,too tame for him....unless we dumped honey on him or something. haha....jk...

anyway - might go w/ McD (and Gaby- I guess he is going to meet the Princess. lol ) up to his Lake Merwin place this weekend, it is about 50 miles up north in Washington. That would be fun for Gab and he says he will make s'mores.....yum.

k- off to do laundry!

Susan~That reminds me of The Parent Trap. When they put honey all over the wanna be stepmom's feet, lol. Maybe you should wish for a mountain lion. Or a really agressive bird. It would peck his eyes out, lol. Why was Rach calling collect?

crawling out from under "the pile" to say HI!! Not much else going on really. I started off having a crap day...went round and round with the garbage company because they didn't pick up our trash, then found some finance charges on the visa blah blah blah. They worked themselves out, fortunately and now the garbage has been picked up and the charges are off the card....yay the day ended better than it started, lol!

Tonight is Dancing and I think I may even watch the Bachelorette...Susan we'll have to compare notes... I just want to see the cute guys and see if I can figure out which one's the psycho....'cause you just know there' s gonna be one!

Susan - we have a zoo and an OMSI membership and I've always felt we got our money's worth with them...the daily rates are so expensive! Maybe we can meet up with the girls sometime this summer.

Evening all......

I had a hamburger patty w/ ketchup and mustard and some cauliflower w/ low fat ranch dressing. 70 calories in 2 taplespoons, needless to say I only had 70 cal's worth and that was that. Sheesh.

Franice - Oh, it was R's boyfriend who was calling collect from a pay phone, all during the month of April.....3 minutes was like $15 dollars a call. Ya, I like the idea of the bird, they are kind of nasty with all sorts of magots crawling around inside them.......they can poke out his eyes to start. I like it! Bravo, Francie!! lol btw - FOTY called and left a message for Gaby, I thought I told him not to call!!

Katy - The zoo would be a fun outing! I will try and get that done in the morning after I get my fathers thing done.
2 hours til the Bachelorette! Speaking of guys....I was at the 45th stop light and I was going straight and the car beside me was in the turn lane and he says (because my window was down) "someone wants to pay you for sex"....and instead of yelling or saying ewwww I said "really, cool"....just to be a smart butt...and he replies...."so what do you say??" and I said NO , of course and thank goodness the light turned green. lol.....

ICK!!! I need to go get a bath and feel pure again.

Chat tomorrow!!!

I hate having to explain myself to people. That is the whole reason why I stopped talking to my family. Why the heck should I have to explain my actions to anyone?!?!? I just wanted advice on something and get a lecture about something else.

If you wanna know what I mean..go read my thread in general.



Susan~Tell her bf to buy a phone card!! Or even a pay as you go phone!! And thats pretty gross about the maggots..ewww!! LoL!!! He should get some hearing aids because he clearly didnt hear you tell him not to call. Get a freakin clue man!! OMG!!!! I cant believe someone said that to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!! I would be so embarassed!!!!!!!!! One time this guy walked by me, looked at my chest and said.."got milk" omg..i wanted to die!! LoL!! Why cant a guy just say.."you're pretty" why do they have to be so gross and nasty. LoL!! I expect my husband to say nasty things to me..not random guys, LoL!!

Whew! I know how Katy feels about her manure...here it is mulch and plants. After all I did last week I got a windfall today. My prior neighbor called with the news that she was moving and dividing some plants, could I come get some. I ran right over (nah, I drove) and came home with lots of goodies. I had 2 bucket, a dishpan and 4 sacks full of plant starts. The FUN began when I came home and had to do the planting. I even got DH busy digging up around my mailbox so I could plant hostas and some tiny irises there. Now, I am sore and tired, but I got them all planted. YAY.

So, this has been my life lately. Yardwork! You have to remember, this was a new property, I started from scratch last year. And it was a woods, so we have to dig lots of roots and plant around many trees. The yard (grass) is slow coming along, but hey, the plants look good. Just overlook the bare spots. LOL

Okay...enough of my bragging about my hard work. I have such a black thumb it will probably all die. LOL.

Susan- I hope you get to go with McD this week-end. I think you know him well enoguh for Miss Gaby to meet him. :)

Francie- Yay for a call from Fonzo. I know that makes you feel better. I must admit I never bathed my cat (when I had one)

Mindee- Fun trip to the zoo..and very nice photos. Did you ever get the potty training book from Pampers?

Cristina- I am trying hard to get back to reading. Just seems to be a lack of time right now. You are doing great with your exercise. You go girl!

Sassy- Hope you are well and that DH is feeling okay. Keep us posted.

Katy- Like everyone says...step away from the pile. Do you do this every year? We mulched the whole of the landscaping last year and just the new things we did this year. DH says we will be re-doing all of it next year and probably every other year after. I never had mulch before....so I wasn't sure how it lasted.

Jules- Hope you are okay. Thinking of you since Ry left. How is that beautiful baby boy? I know he already has Grandma wrapped around his little finger. Isn't it fun?

Okay chickies...I am going to go to bed and watch The Bachlorette. I am pooped.

The Bachelorette chick is really pretty. She's Greek right? I think I heard someone say she was like a Greek Goddess. I dont watch the Bachelor, but from the clips they just showed when she was dumped..it was just really messed up. I even started to tear up. I really hope she finds a guy who loves her.

just popping in since it has been a chaotic day around here! Tommy went to go to bed and Marissa woke up, so off to walk we went! an now I am going off to bed!

Sue~ I actually did get the potty training dvd Wednesday or Thursday I believe it was. I put the dvd in and the boys watched it a couple of minutes and then it was boring city for them!

I will have to come back a little later, like Tuesday afternoonish.....we are going to go up north this coming Sunday and probably stay the night up there. We were going to go up there Saturday night, but the Wings are now in the Finals and the first game is this coming Saturday, so we are going to stay home and watch the game!

Mindee~I hope you have fun on sunday!! I caught the end of the game on sat I think it was. Somebody had won, I just had no idea who, lol.


Okay..so I watched the Bachelorette. DeAnna (thats her name right?) is so pretty..I kinda hate her for that, lol. But she makes up for it with a nice personality. Some of those guys though...omg, talk about children. I understand that they were trying to make an impression..but half the stuff they did totally turned me off. I kinda felt bad for the oyster farmer. He seemed so sweet. I wanted him to make it through..but oh well. My 3 fave guys did make it though!! I liked the science teacher, the pro snowboarder, and the single dad. I think I liked the science teacher the best though. But lets see how these guys are in the coming weeks..I could end up changing my mind.

Okay..I'm gonna go watch Headlines, then go read my book, then go to sleep. TTYL!!

Hi All.
 

mornin'

Ok- Spero and Donato look pretty crazy to me...I didn't stay up late enough to see who got the boot, but with first show I hardly though it mattered since I can barely tell the dudes apart at this point anyway. She's really pretty and not a stick...seems like she has a good head on her shoulders.

Sue - we mulch every year in the spring. Cuts way down on the weeding without having to use chemicals. Hardly have to water either, usually just new plantings.

Francie - well -looks like you got advice alright! Aren't message boards fun? Sorry - hope that didn't stress you out too badly...You certainly don't have to explain yourself to us! got milk..hehe you'd think they could be a little more creative at least.

Hi to everyone else! Got to get moving so I'll bbl for more chat. It's raining, so no pile today!

Good Morning

A quick fly by....

Francie- :hug::hug: I like to give people the benefit of the doubt...just figure some people like to be know it all's and like to give advice. My mom is like that, what a pain. GO is my answer and have FUN! There, you should have just asked me in the first place :D
And no I wasn't embarassed, I was kind of excited someone wanted to have sex with me and PAY! omg. I thought my weight loss has finally paid off......men can just look at me and know I am almost to GOAL! Yeah. lol...........JK!

Sassy - How is the DH though?? Still going through the testing phase??

Sue - I think we might know each other too well when we know how the other feels about their manure. lmao. Sorry, that struck me as funny.....*cough. I know Katy loves the compost pile (for exercise purposes - we don't mention manure for NOTHING, we aren't that kind of group!! We ain't shallow.....for everything there is a purpose and a purpose for everything....oops....too much coffee....)

I should step away from the computer and compose myself...lol

Oh, The Bachelorette!!

My faves
Richard - Science Teacher, seems sweet.
Jesse - Snowboarder - Funny and makes me laugh
Jason - Single Dad - seems like he could use a break ....which probably isn't a good enough reason and he seems kind of needy. And really single fathers are the most perverted. I know, I have dated some.
Chris - I forget what he does....but he looks nice.

The weirdest , and I don't like him.....is Twilley. Shifty eyes and he has to go the next round! Bugs me.

DeAnna is sweet, her mother passed away when she was 12 and her grandmother passed after the Bachelor was over and on the "after show" they did a tribute to her grandmother and DeAnna cried.

k- back when I come down from my high. lol

chat in a bit.....:D

OKay...I really really liked Richard. He's good looking in that nerdy way, which is my type of guy (just look at my hubby, lol). I liked Jesse and Jason a lot too. Jason seems really sweet and his little boy is so cute. Did he mention what happened with the mom?? I do not like Twilley either!! He seems really out there. He could get annoying fast, lol.

And yes..I should've asked you to start with..what was I thinking, lol.





Anyways..I'm gonna take a quick shower then go to the bank!! I hope the money goes in right away because I wanna book my flight & hotel tonight.

Just a sort of quickie ladies...you guys were busy yesterday with all the posting, can't keep up!

FRANCIE...is the book good? I saw that and almost bought it. This time I took my list with me but I had another list of what I wanted to get. I will check out the general thread in a few.

SUE...geez, louise...that's a lot of plants! I was in a planting mood but have no where to put anything!

SUSAN...a trip to the beach with McD sounds like just what you and the Gabster need.

SASSY...well, I hope DH is fine.

Have a good day!

just popping in while I have a chance to. Logan has a little gash I guess you can call it, on the side of his nose. I had gone into the bedroom to make a phone call and he came running in, tripped and his nose met the metal bed frame. I was trying to clean it up and every time I pulled the wash cloth back, he would start crying again, so of course that made it spurt more blood. Thankfully I got him calmed down enough to let me get the bleeding to stop, so now he has a band aid across his nose. I tried to use a little band aid, but he pulled it off and handed it back to me. So, he got stuck with a full sized band aid on his face. I put pictures on my myspace page if you want to check them out.

Francie~ The game on Saturday, Dallas won, which was why they played again last night.

Sassy~ Good for your DH to prove that doctor wrong! I hate when doctors assume stuff like that as well! It just burns my butt! I also hate when people put in there opinions when they were not asked for them.

SusieQ~ I will have to go back and look......but someone asked to pay to have sex with you? don't they know that that is illegal, in a I think most states?

I forgot to add that I haven't had a pop since Saturday! I have been drinking Iced Tea like it is going out of style! And I use a 2 quart container to make it in, and I can easily drink the whole pitcher myself.

I'm back!

The kids' field day got canceled because of the rain - bummer. I still need to do some work for my VBS station and knit on my deadline project, but what the heck! Id' rather be here!

OK - I liked the science teacher and the single dad, tho' he has the potential to be way too needy. As soon as he starts crying, he's outta there.. I mean she's only 26..don't you think that might scare her off? I liked the snowboarder, too, but he doesn't appear to be her type, at least on the surface. I didn't watch her season, so y'all will have to fill me in on if DeAnna is an adventurous type or not.

Sassy- hope the results some back soon and the news is good. Good thing you and he are already making healthy changes, that will all help I'm sure. Sorry the boss is a jerk :(

Cristina - Hope you are having a good day

Tonight's DWTS finale - woo hoo...Kristi for the win!

Hi Mindee - way to go on the pop...I haven't drunk pop in 22 years...you really can get used to it and you feel so much better without all those chemicals in your body. Good job!

Glad Logan is ok- what a bruiser...

So I guess all that negative energy towards me worked. I wasnt able to deposit the check. My bank is really too far away for me to walk there. How flippin stupid that they dont have a Navy Federal bank on base, but they can have a stupid Starbucks?!?!?! And why would they have a Kitsap bank on this base anyway?!?!?!! Nobody goes there. There was like ONE dude in there when I went in there. And the snotty a** witch at Armed Forces can just go stick her nicely manicured nails into a light socket so her hair can get more fried!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I'm gonna go wallow in self pitty now.

psssst. I hope I can do a link....

http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelor...=mb&cat=104682

for the Bachelorette. You can go read the message board and get a ton of useless information. lol

Jason is divorced since Feb and is Jewish. So, wonder where was the ex wife?? Why was he leaving his son w/ some nanny person??

Francie - I am sorry! :hug::hug: You will get it cashed and book the trip, just will take more time, a bother I know!! :)

Mindee- Ya, you are right. After my high I see more clearly. I think being stuck at a red light kind of just wanted to get away without confronting anyone. I should have written the license plate # down.

Katy - soccer info went out for Westhills (??) think I will sign Gab up for it.

Sue - Ok, I will be serious! :) Can you post some photos of your yard?? I bet it looks lovely.

I am starved....I haven't eaten all day. Better get, waaaaay too much to do!

chat later....

Cristina - Oh, it is Lake Merwin in Washington we are going! It is just south of Mt St Helens. McD still has a place there that he has had since 1995.

OK...you guys are gonna get my hubby mad at me when I get hooked on the Bachlorette to keep up...

SuzyQ--stop by Tacoma and give Ry a big hug for me!! Mount St Helens is one of the places he wants to go see. Why do guys have to be so creepy...my friend Kelly lived on a street that was known for "ladies of the evening"...she yelled at more than one jerk that said nasty things when her kids were with her...

Francie:Happy thoughts to you...we love you and are here for you!!!:hug:;):D:dizzy::smug::D;):lol::smoking::cof fee::yawn::spin::T:joker::cp::cb::jig::angel::wave ::listen::love::dance::hat::idea::flow2::dancer::g rouphug::flow1::flame::cbg::goodvibes:genie::cooki e::cloud9::high::hyper::twirly::chin::yes::wizard: :halffull::rain::bubbles::df::encore::whoo::comp:: lucky::cheer3::cheer2::sunny::cheers::crazy::cheer ::rofl::cofdate::lol3::drool::yay::beach::balloons ::woo::exercise::yoga::belly::val2::bunny2:


Katy--I love Kristy!! She's my all time fave women's skaters...

Mindee--poor little Logan!! Teri stabbed her face with a pencil when she was about that age--still has the scar on her cheek. WTG on the giving up soda.

Cristina--saw your myspace blog...you are doing great!!

Sassy--:hug:to you too. You have been going through some rough spots. Hubby has started looking for other jobs..he hates where we work, if he does I will have to break down and get a second car. I wanted his motorcycle and credit cards paid off before we do that.

Sue--I love hostas and since we have alot of shade it's a good plant for us. I have to say this is the greenest our woods have ever been since we moved here in 99. It's so beautiful.

Update on life...readers digest condensed style...
Last Thursday I went to the doctors and got antibiotics for a sinus infection and earache...come to find out my brother had the same thing and my little nephew had a double ear infection at the viewing and funeral...now poor little Dominic has an ear infection..Teri took him to the doctors today...he is sleeping pretty restless but still my happy smiley boy!!

I really didn't think my heart was going to feel so empty with Ry across the country. He still calls me everyday but knowing I can't just drive over and spend the day with him makes me sad. Even hubby said the same thing. What can I say...I love my kids...they are my life.

Ry is doing great...he did say he misses us but not enough to come home yet. He had jet lag on Wednesday but picked up a bunch of apps on Thursday and then on Friday took them back to all the places. One girl told him he should be back to talk to the manager..Dominos Pizza wants him to interview with the district manager for a assistant managers position. He didn't want to work in a chain...he prefers a small restaurant where the owners appreciate what a great worker he is. He bought a mountain bike at a pawn shop and he is venturing out further. He called about volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in Tacoma..he should be really useful with his construction background and maybe can meet some contacts.

Teri is still waiting for Dave. I am still trying to keep my mouth shut. I really do hope that he has changed as much as she thinks and that she will not be disappointed.

Since I have been sick (and a little depressed) I have not been walking but I am hoping to get back at it in the next couple of days...

Love you all...

:hug:

Well I stayed home from work tonight. My allergies are kicking up bad :sp: so I think I am just gonna be a bum and start my cleaning in the morning.

Jules -- thanks. just seems like we'll never get to "the end of our rainbow" just seems like the clouds go on forever, but I know we'll get out of them someday...........(I hope at least!) lol. Big :hug: to you as I know how you feel with the job situation. DH is looking too.

:hug: to all.

Thx Susan - I will go check out that message board. If you want a very entertaining thread, complete with lots of snark and some NSFW language go here
It makes me laugh and really its the whole reason I am watching the Bachelorette...well, that and our own BIK color commentary, lol!

Now really, ladies, if he's only been divorced since Feb, should he really be on this show...can you say "rebound girl"? IMO, leaving your toddler boy whose parents have just split for 6 weeks is questionable judgment, I take back my previous good opinion of him. Graham for the win! Let's hope snowboarder boy at least gets to the fantasy suites for the sheer entertainment value.

Can you believe I've been on here 3 times today - a new record, lol!

Jules - it's good to see you here - hope the antibiotics are helping you feel better.

Sassy - hope you are feeling better as well

Susan~Thanks..I'm going to the bank first thing tomorrow morning. I'm even setting my alarm super early to be there when it opens at 8:30am, lol. I guess I'm taking a cab there. Better than nothing, right?

Jules~Thanks for all the happy smilies!!! :hug: to you for missing Ry!! Don't feel so down..at least he's gonna be doing something good with Habitat for Humanity. That sounds really exciting. I really missed my mom when I first moved away..and called her every single day.


Sassy~The second I read about your allergies, I started sneezing really bad. And now I have a runny nose and itchy eyes. So thanks chickie!! ;) LoL!!




Well..I have some sorta good news. When I got home today, I changed into some comfy pants and a comfy shirt. Well..the shirt I grabbed was one that I ordered last year...it says "Sailor's Queen" on it, lol. And I accidently ordered the wrong size. I was wearing like a 3 or 4x..and this one is a 1x. But when I put it on..it didnt feel tight at all. I looked in the mirror and it looked really good on me. You can see my curves and a little bit of belly, but I can suck that in, lol. Plus, my boobs look HUGE!!! Which is always great!! LoL!! So now I'm regretting ordering the bigger size on that halter top, lol. I'll just have to find a way to make it tighter.

I still might be able to go on my trip. I found a flight & hotel for a good price..and I just have to put the money into the account tomorrow. I'm gonna do that first thing tomorrow morning. Then I'll just spend the rest of the day sleeping. And you know..after what happened today, I wasnt gonna go..but I talked to Fonzo..and he sounded really needy. I'm not sure which head he's thinking with (sorry TMI, LOL) but he was begging me to go see him. I could totally tell he was doing the puppy dog face too, lol. His voice sorta changes when he does it, lol.

Anyways...the sides of my ribs are killing me!!! It hurts to raise my arms or sleep on my side. Plus, my hand totally started spazzing. It was freaky!! It hurts so bad too. I probably hurt myself cleaning the bathroom. See, cleaning is bad for you!!! I should just hire Merry Maids to come in here and clean. They do such a nice job. LoL!!

Okay well...I'm gonna go watch nothing on tv right now. Yippee!!

UGH. I totally feel like crapola. Forget allergies........I think I have a touch of the flu..........:barf: So cleaning may or may not get done...........if it doesn't oh well. :shrug: My mom's seen our apt dirty before. lol. If I don't feel any better though, she may not wanna come up with a sickie!! lol.

I hope you feel better soon :hug:

Oh I agree Katy, That board (SS) makes reality t.v. much more entertaining. If I miss a show I just go there and get the scoop, with lots of juicy comments. One thign for sure you have to not take offense at the language.

Francie- I do hope you get your plans made for visiting DH. I would love to go to SD any time. My baby boy and step-son are there. Do you not drive?

Cristina- Yeah, I put in lots of plants. DH said I would have too many if they all grew to maturity. So, like I told him, I will move some around. No problem. My friend re-arranges hers all the time and they do so well. She gives away so many starts it's not funny.

Sassy- Feel better soon gal. I hope your mom still visits.

Mindee- Oh, poor Logan. What is it with boys? My DS had so many head bumps and trips to the ER when he was a toddler. I was afraid they would think I did it. He actually grew such big feet he couldn't manuever well until he grew into them. Kinda like a puppy. :)

Jules- It's so good to see you posting. I have thought about you lots. I know you will always miss Ry being close-by, but it does get better with time. My DS has been out West for 8 years and although I still miss him and worry about him I don't talk to him every day like I did. It sounds like Ry has a good head on him and will do well. :hugs:

Susan- Have a good time over the week-end. Watch out for the cheese bread!!

Anyone else have week-end plans? We don't have anything going on. Might visit a sis-in-law one day. I will have to go to the graves for Mom since she will be gone.

Going to take Mom to get her hair done this afternoon and to Wal-Mart. That's all for me...Hopefully a walk and Idol. Go David!! :)

Sue~No...I dont drive. I'm like my grandma to the T. She doesnt drive and she's afraid to be in the car, lol.

But I just got back from the bank. The cab driver was really nice & funny. When he picked me up, he was calling into some talk radio show..then we listened to him, lol. Then we talked about ****'s Kitchen and I told him about So You Think You Can Dance. And we agreed that this one chick on base looked like Dr. Baily from Grey's Anatomy..LOL!! I'm all for friendly cab drivers.

Anyways..I'm trying to find the best price for my trip right now..So I'll be back to update everyone later.

You ladies and your reality t.v., lol...can't relate because I don't watch any of them :( Tried watching the bachelor after I saw the first one and it was a no go. I guess I'll just sit back and listen to you ladies chat about them.

Anyway...not feeling so great so really not in a talkatvie mood. Have a toothache that started yesterday and got worse thru the night...have to go and call the dentist...don't want to let it be like the last one. I waited almost a month I think before I finally went. I have a high tolerance for pain, what can I say. Don't want to this time though...know they will have to pull it so might as well get it over with sooner than later.

I'll be back after lunch to do individuals. Have to make a run to the store...DD needs some cheapy sunglasses and we need some folding chairs of some sort. Going to watch Chase this evening play little league...haven't seen them in over a month! Missing the baby girl, lol.

On top of feeling bad I am pooped...just didn't get enough sleep I think, good sleep. But...I did manage to get in my 3 mile walk around the neighborhood this morning. Plus finally took my bike out for a ride, helmet and all, lol. Felt a little silly at first with the helmet but hey, better safe than sorry. Did the same 3 miles as the walk. And let me tell ya I am feeling it in my legs, ouch! Just have the Leslie Sansone's Slim & Thin to do later and I am done for the day. Okay...gonna go call the dentist and head to the store...I'll be back.

Good Morning -

Another Fly By!

Katy - Who is Graham?? I will have to go check him out. I have icky feelings about Jason now too. See, proves just because you have a cute kid doesn't mean you are together, look at me. haha.

omg - my mother KNOWS I have been dating McD for 5 months now and when I mentioned going away for the weekned w/ him she replies "isn't that taking it to a whole new level?? I don't know where you can waste the energy on a realtionship Susan".....
Ok, whatever. I certainly don't need to go away to take it to a whole new level. I clearly only have to go across the street for my:o "cheesebread", so to speak. And , no I don't have energy but I never will...so, you know , whatever.
And after all that she always wants to know how Hawaii Man is doing and how she thinks he is such a sweetie....seems she wants a tropical vacation to me. lol

oops, sidetracked, sorry......

Franice - Yeah on checked cashed!!!

Mindee- How are you and the family??

Sue - Which David??? I want Cook. I don't know what the judges were doing last night with all their praise for DA last night but it was the first time I sat there and voted over and over. DA is good and has a wonderful voice, clearly talented but I think a huge bore. Rachel said it looks like his :censored:
haven't dropped yet....and I should have scolded her but darn if she isn't right. :dizzy:

Jules- You just tell hubby that you are watching a show about an Greek chick looking to fall in love and leave out the 25 guys with awesome abs. :hug::hug: to you on the sinus infection and Ry. I will go up to Tacoma and give him a hug. Just tell him I am coming otherwise I might end up in jail...haha.

Katy - I will go check out the board! Ok, I think I will go ahead w/ soccer for Gab. I know L didn't care for it but Gab wants to try, she says it is cool. I guess you have to be 6 years old to think running around with other girls in muck and cold is cool but she does and since I can do it I will sign her up.

Sassy - I hope you are feeling better!! Even if you clean you know *mom* is still going to clean!! That is what they are there for....lol

Cristina - ok, you last because if you get in a nontalkive mood I am going to be pouty! I hope your tooth is feeling better, hate mouth aches. Hope that you just need to get some rest to get back to your usual chatty self :D I only watch Reality TV...lol ..I like the Office and Grey's but otherwise I would rather read.

I really need to get running. I was starving last night and had some steak and steamed carrots for dinner. Watched American Idol and was annoyed with Simon. Read some of my book and talked w/ Hawaii Man, his son is coming over to tour w/ his ukulele group from school , they will perform at Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm and travel down to San Diego.....total $1,500. Yikes.

so much for a fly by!! I better get going.... I forgot I can buy my New Blance shoes now! No more excuses.....and I have to go see my father, so I will chat tomorrow!!

OKay..I have GOOD NEWS!!!


I booked my flight..and I leave tomorrow morning at 2:45am to catch the airporter by the Navy Lodge, lol. We'll get to the airport at 5 though..and my flight is at 7am!! I'll be back Saturday morning. Fonzo is gonna meet me at my hotel around noon..and umm..who knows what else we'll do, lol. I'm gonna go to bed early tonight though, lol. I'm soooooooo excited!! I'll take lots of pictures!!!!! I'm gonna go back to packing. I have a tiny suitcase and a ton of stuff to put in it.

Francie - how exciting! Takes lots of pictures --if you ever leave the hotel room that is ;)

Susan- Yeah, L didn't go for soccer, though she may like it when she's a bit older. Foothills is a good league, imo. J has had a good experience - they have rules to control obnoxious parents, lol...most of the time people behave themselves. If you go to Sierra Trading Post online, they have great prices on New Balance shoes..that's where I buy mine. I find they are true to size, so the online orders have fit me just fine.

Sue - you are so right about SS, one cannot have delicate sensibilities, that's for sure! I think their Bachelor/ette threads have always been just hilarious. The poor contestants really don't stand a chance; if there is any dirt at all in their background, somebody is gonna post it over there. My garden advice for the day: If I were you I would just plant away. I went on a fancy schmancy garden tour once and the semi-famous gardener said she controlled weeds by 1) mulching, and 2) planting tightly. Tell DH so there, lol!

Cristina - I didn't get enough sleep either, so now I am sucking down a grande Cafe Estima Bold from Starbucks...the banned beverage:dizzy: Yeah, I'm supposed to be off coffee, but I clearly struggle. Hope you can catch up on your rest today and that your tooth feels better.

Sassy - hope you are feeling better today...any news on your hubby's tests...you've both been in my thoughts and hope the news is good.


Jules- hope you are feeling better today - you sure have alot on your plate these days...hope you are holding up okay. If not, just come over here and we'll tell you all about the Bachelorette and your troubles will magically melt away :D It would be cool if Ry got a job at a brewpub -they are all over the place in our part of the country and it will save him on groceries as well. I'm excited for him, the PNW is an addicting part of the country...many come her and stay forever...then their families come join them. Not sayin' that's what you'll do, but that's what happened with my family. It's a beautiful place.

Mindee - hope you are having a good day..I hope to get over to MS today and look at your pictures.

I spent 2 hours on the poo pile this morning...it's over half way gone - yay! I just love this time of the year as everything is green and there are lots of blossoms. I live on a street with lots of trees and it's so lush right now. 'course my DD is allergic to them all - dang. Now, I am here, trying to wake up a little ...need to work on my deadline knitting...and I really should clean the house as we are entertaining a little this weekend. I can't get terribly excited about it. I'd rather go to the nursery and buy a bunch of plants, but I can't afford that :( Weight is holding steady and I have been battling the munchies all week sadly. I think I'm on track to maintain...would really like to get that extra pound off and get back on track, so I need to focus on it better than I have been.

Cheers!

back for a split second.....

Cristina - Bet you will have fun watching Chase play tonight!

Katy - I have heard good things about Foothills too, Gab seems set on it. I am sure your street looks lovely! It is beautiful in our area with everything in bloom. Glad you bonded w/ you compost pile :)

Francie - Have fun!

I better get dinner. I bought some beautiful flowers for my fathers grave from Trader Joes, I love their flowers. We also went to my nephews and that was sad and when I teared up, so many children buried there. Course my father is the VA - *sigh.

Happy News is I did buy my zoo membership and can't wait to start taking Gaby.

anyway - doing good on eating and water intake, looking for 157 by Friday! We hope at least :p
