:welcome2:to the Back In Kindergarten thread!

"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......"


You are welcome to join us in our chatter about life and our weight loss journey! So please grab your coffee/water/diet coke or whatever your drink of choice is, and pull up a chair and join us! :cofdate:

Ok, I think I have been watching way too much SATC dvd's.....I so want a cosmo right now,.,,,,and I miss my McD.
I walked 3.5 miles today and as soon as I get another ticker up I will reflect that.
I need to go get Gaby a toy from Freddies and I am going to pick up a People mag. My hot Friday night. *snicker*
Rach went camping out in central Oregon.........like 2 1/2 hours away. She will be back Sunday. we hope. lol And tomorrow is the big parade here in Portland.
Oh, I think I wrote in a lost post that I rode on a pooper scooper a few years ago, that was fun. Maybe that is why the server crashed?? lol

anyway - new thread, new tickers...we are kicking a$$!!!

Some inspiration ladies..

Btw..I put on my jeans today, and they were feeling a little lose. Not so loose that they could fall off though. And my underwear is feeling a little loose too. The sides keep trying to slide down, lol. I've been a size 13 (jeans) and wore a L (undies) ever since freshman year. I'll probably have to go down to a size 11 pretty soon huh?? This sucks though..I own a billion pairs of undies and they're all the same size, lol. Omg, I can just see Fonzo's face when I tell him that I'm gonna need smaller underwear. And what do you do with all the underwear that doesnt fit anymore?? Do you give it to Goodwill or throw them away?? Omg, that would be just a waste to throw them away. They're all from Victoria's Secret & Fredricks of Hollywood!!! I spent a good amount of time & money buying my underwear. LOL!!! I'm feeling a little sad about my underwear now, lol. I cant wait to buy new pants though!!!!

Francie -
Let's go to the gym!! :)
I don't think you give undies to Goodwill.......lol. I have seen bra's but never undies. I suppose while losing weight we just buy 1 pair at a time?? lol.........jk. I have a flat butt,what do I know....:carrot:
Since we are chatting clothes my 8 Levi's are loose now and I can wear my 6's until lunch, after lunch I am full and have to take them off. lol
anyway, I promised gab a toy, better get going to the store!

Wow...I tried to get in here all day. I am laughing because it took me so long to do my ticker...now I have to do it again. :)
I only got 2 miles in again today due to this bad weather.

It is starting to storm again, so I am off the computer. See you all tomorrow.

Hello ladies...

Missed you all! Glad we (3fc) are back online...what would I do without you all?

FRANCIE...you and all your underwear, lol! I am the opposite...I have a drawer full of smaller ones, lol. Not sure when I bought them all and why they are smaller, lol. But ya...unfortunately I don't think anyone wants used panties, lol. Hope you have lots of books to read for tomorrow!

SUSAN...I remember you riding the pooper scooper, lol! Sorry you are missing McD :hug: WTG on the loose jeans...size 6 eh? I can only dream of wearing a 6 and you will be at 145 in no time flat!

SUE...same here...took forever to do a ticker yesterday and went and did another. Hope the storms aren't so bad. I know we have had our share of them and I have had enough, lol. I suppose it will stop soon enough. :crossed:

I think my weight ticker is wrong but I am too lazy to go look at the calendar and see what my weight is, lol. I have to weigh in tomorrow anyway so...I'll change it tomorrow. Hoping I don't show a gain. Kind of watched the food this week but thinking for some reason I still didn't do so well. We'll see...did get my exercise done today, and then some, lol.

Anywho...chat tomorrow. NIghty, night ladies!

Well it sucks that you cant give away underwear. Mine is so nice..but I can totally understand why, lmao. It just would be a shame to throw it away, lol. You know..I still have my very first bra. Its a AAA!! LMAO!! I cant believe I was ever that small. I remember being in the first grade, and I just couldnt wait until the day I could wear a bra and have boobs, lol.

Okay well..I think I might finish my book tonight..lol. I'm not sure yet. I'm dying to know what happens..but if I read it now then I wont have anything to do tomorrow besides clean. Ew, lol.

But ya..the power outage is between 7am to 3pm..and I'll be on as soon as the power comes back on, lol. I have an addiction to the net, lol.

Where the heck is Sassy?????????

Okay..I woke up at 6am because my cats are little demons disguised with cute faces. I wasnt actually gonna get up..but I figured I might as well eat some breakfast before the power went out today. So thats what I'm doing right now. I'm eating a really big bowl of cheerios, which should hold me off for a couple of hours (I hope). And I took out some jelly for a PB&J sandwich later, lol.

So ya..I dunno what else to do right now. So I think I'm just gonna hang out with electricity until 6:57am, lol.

BBL

Good morning, ladies!

I too am up bright and early. Had it planned to get up at about 6'ish and be out the door for my walk at 6:30 but Ernie dog had other plans. He needed to go potty and I could hear the clinking of his tags at 5:30'ish, ugh! Needed my extra 30 minutes, lol. He did a quick lift of the leg last night around 9 p.m. because he was spooked...some dummy had some big fireworks going off...too freakin early for that! Anywho...so I've been up since then, did 3.5 miles this morning and will do my weights later, had breakfast, and have been on the computer for a little over a hour...ha, maybe I will get something done today! The plan is to read, read and read!

Today is my WI and not sure if I messed up but forgot to weigh until after I had an energy drink...doesn't matter...I don't have to change the ticker, lol. I am up a pound from two weeks ago...guess it could be worse. But forgot to WI last Saturday because of being busy with Cambrie, so don't know what I was at then.

On the agenda for today, like I said above, I plan to get lots of reading done. finally finished Under The Banner of Heaven...freaky people I swear. DS gave me a book he got in the mail, lol...an Inspriational Romance, lol...some place wanting him to sign up and get more...he didn't want it of course so gave it to me and I started it, it's actually not so bad. I'll finish it today and start another...thinking, The Doctors Wife, we'll see. Also have a couple of loads of laundry to do and that's about it. Pretty relaxing, lazy day. Everyone is at work so it's just me and the doggy.

FRANCIE...enjoy your electricity free day, lol. Hope it's not a hot one so you don't burn up. I too have an addiction to the net, lol! I have to force myself to stay away from the basement...that is one reason the computer is down there. You still have your first bra? I can't even remember that far back, lol.

HIYA EVERYONE else! :wave:

I'll be back later to chat when everyone else wakes up, lol. I always forget about the different time zones we are all in.

Good morning..

My pedometer kept resetting on me, so I have to guess at steps for now. Too bad about the forums...at least they were able to save most of the data; what an awful thing to have to deal with on a Friday. I made it to 6 am step aerobics yesterday! I haven't done that in awhile and my body seems to be holding up ok. I am going to aerobics again this morning...I estimated 3 miles for classes. I really need to get a good quality pedometer so I can work on getting my total daily steps up to 10000.

Cristina - mornin'! I'm up, but not early enough to make it to yoga...so off to aerobics I go. Your miles are awesome...I'll never keep up with you and Mindee. I read Under the Banner...and I agree with you. I felt just icky and needed a shower after reading that book. I have to say I thought it was extremely well written and I read that Jon Krakauer the author takes in the "lost boys" from FLDS and helps them get on their feet after they have been shunned by the group. I have alot of admiration for that.

Francie - why is your power off? I am addicted to the net too, so I would be hopeless in a major power outage. I do keep an old style touch tone phone around "just in case" at least I could yak on the phone. If your undies are well-laundered, they might be welcome at a women's shelter...just a thought. They probably want donations of new undies, but never hurts to ask imo...I give all my dd's old clothes to a cousin who is a bit younger and her mom doesn't care if there are undies or swimsuits in the bag. She knows everything's getting washed thoroughly. I can't believe you have your first bra!

Susan- yay for the smaller sizes! I haven't seen a size 8 since I was in high school! Sorry about missing McD...I think a night with SATC and People magazine is just the ticket. Make sure there's some wine around :) Keep watching SATC, sooner or later all the men act like a$$es, so maybe then you won't miss him so much, ha (jk)

Hi Sue - wtg on the miles!

Hi Jules, Sassy, Mindee and Tammy! Hope you all are doing well...

I finished up my project yesterday, today I send it off and wait for my check - yippee. My nano also arrived yesterday so today I will play around with that a bit, and set up some music on my shuffle so I can give that to my daughter. fun stuff. Other than that the day is filled with errands - bleh, but better get them done. Things will calm down when school is out...then I'll be bored -so go figure.

Hi all...I kept popping back on yesterday to read and post...i am glad we are all back. When I went to the local gym there was nothing working out that looked liked that (or maybe I would still be going....)
I need to go get my ticker done for the 300 miles but I don't have time right now--this will be just a quickie...

It's my 20 year anniversary today (we lived in sin for two years before that--both kids and my mom went with us to the courthouse) Hubby says we should play the lottery 6-7-8 since we got married in 1988 and this is 2008. Nothing special planned...just playing with the baby.

BBL for indys!! Love, Me

Okay...I am never going to catch up or keep up with you ladies and the walking. I HAVE to get a pedometer NOW.
We keep getting these darn storms that keep me in the house...and off the computer.
Today is just plan nasty. LAst night we went to the local (new) casino for dinner and to play a bit. They called a tornado warning and got us off the machines. DH and I just hied it home. I won $65. woohoo..

Another darn storm.....grrr.

Cristina~Its a cold day here..yet again. But I couldnt get back to sleep. I really did try though. I put my ipod on, and put it kinda low, and had the window open all the way..But it just wasnt working. I need it seriously cold in the bedroom with both fans & the tv on to fall asleep properly. Yes..I still have my first bra, LMAO!!! You gotta know something though..when I moved, I brought all my bedroom furniture with me. I've had it since I was 10. And last year I got really bored and cleaned out the drawers finally..and found my 1st bra in the bottom drawer, lol. Its only been like 13 years since I first wore it, lol.

Katy~Twice a year, they have a scheduled power outage. Its to make sure everything is still working properly. Its a bunch of BS, and I hate it, lol. I've donated swimsuits before..I dunno about the underwear. I was them with this stuff they sell at VS, so they're pretty nice still and in very good shape. Maybe I can make my butt bigger and lose everything else. I mean, JLO can do it, why cant I?? lmao. Oh..and my 1st bra..it could be an eye mask now..lol.

Jules~Happy Anniversary!!!!!! LOL about living in sin for 2 years. Fonzo used to stay at my house whenever he was in town (this was when he was stationed in SD). I wanted to move to WA with him w/o being married..but my mom wouldnt allow it, lol. She suddenly turned all religious on me and wanted us to get married so we wouldnt "live in sin". LOL!! What is the 20th anniversary?? Like silver or something?

Sue~That is so scary about the tornadoes. I'm glad you're okay!!!




OKay well...as you can already tell..the power is back on, lol. Omg..I was having the worst morning too. Like I told Cristina, I couldnt get back to sleep. Last night, I was feeling really shaky and panicky..but I just read through my panic, trying to keep it from getting worse. Well..because I got so little sleep..all the shakiness and the panic came back when I woke up. I couldnt relax for awhile. So I put my ipod on super loud (seriously, my ears are still ringing, lol)..and I cleaned the entire kitchen. It only took a half an hour!! WTF!! LoL!! So I threw away some junk mail and walked around from room to room for a little bit. Then I finally just opened the window in the living room..sat down on the couch and forced myself to get lost in the book I'm reading. It really worked..but whenever I stopped..I started shaking and started to panic too. I laid down on the couch once to see if I could fall asleep..but I just ended up panicking more and when I started to tear up, I forced myself to read again. I got lost in the book for awhile until I realized I read like 10 pages in 15 mins. That was the first time ever I really hated being a speed reader. So I started playing with my cat and reading at the same time, lol. And hey it worked. LoL!!! But like..after sometime my cat got all sleepy on me and fell asleep...lol. Then as I was reading, I dozed off too. I only woke up when I heard the power come back on. Ugh..my neck is so stiff right now. I'm gonna go to bed in a little bit. I wanna keep reading my book..I'm almost done. But why push it?? I dont wanna make myself get worse right now.

I'm kinda glad I didnt have to walk to the store in this cold weather. I started feeling sick yesterday. It was probably allergies, but who knows really. Honestly though...I havent felt this alone in 2 years. It sucked so bad. I hate being alone with my thoughts. They are not good at all. Its what causes me to panic. I need noise to distract me. Plus I was all paranoid from watching Dateline last night, lol. Why did they have to do a story on kidnapped females last night?!?!?! Ughhh..thats all I need to think about before I sit in my room alone at night, lol.

Anyways..I'm sooooooooooooooooooo sleepy, so I'm going to bed. TTYL!!

My new McDreamy!!! His name is John and in my research he is dating Bo Derek, but that is dated information because he is mine now. I can sooooo be a stalker -lol. He plays Aidan in SATC and I might go pick up My big fat greek wedding because he is in that too and Northern Exposure. Isn't he dreamy??

Sue - I need to get a pedometer too. If I spread what I want over a few days it makes me feel like I am not spending a lot of money. So, I will go today and pick one up. It would make it easier just to go out and walk and not have to guess at the distance.......btw -I walked 84 miles yesterday, I am guessing, of course. lol ...jk. Lame joking around.

Jules - Happy Anniversary!

Cristina - I have some pic's of me in the pooper scooper, wearing this frilly dress and hat. It was rainy that day and my hair PUFFED up and I looked like a poodle, can't believe I went out in public like that. lol You're so good on your walking!

Katy - I was drinking wine last night, that was how Gaby snagged a $14 dollar toy at Freddies. I said "suuuuuuure, anyding you vant babeeee".....I bought some Sleep max and went right to bed. Woke up at 1am to noise next door and decided to clean the apt. Went back to bed at 4am and here I am! lol Doing laundry and Gabster goes w/ her father at 2pm. Want to go to Powells and browse around.

Francie -:hug::hug: have you tried writing a journal? That might help when you are alone....course I just come here and chatter and that helps when I feel alone. My kitty decided 2am was a good time to get frisky, he kept racing around the apt and playing with hair ties. lol

anyway - I better get off my arse and get productive!!! Chat at you all later....

:wave: to Mindee, Tammy and Sassy!!

fricker fracker!

I just updated my ticker and now it isn't showing up! even my avatar isn't showing up!

I will have to go and fix that quickly....we have a graduation party to go to so I have to get the kids and myself ready for that while Tommy is in the shower.

LMAO! that cracked me up!

Lmao!!!!!!!!!

Susan~He's still dating Bo Derek and he made a country album. I loved him so much on Sex & The City (the green hornet, lol.) and in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Omg..he was so sweet in that movie!!! "What do you mean he dont eat no meat?!?!? Thats okay, I make lamb" lmao!! That is my fave line from the movie!!! Oh no wait..I like it when she tells his parents about her twin, and the horrified look on their faces, lmao!!! I'm gonna have to watch that movie right now.

OMG Susan, where do you find these? I LOVE that one...if I had had a gun a couple of weeks ago that would have been me :lol:

I'll be right back...have some potatoes that should be done, making potato salad for dinner with some BBQ ribs in the crock pot. Took longer to read the posts than I thought. BB in a few.

Okay, potato salad is done, and pretty good, or I am just hungry!

MINDEE...such the cute avatar...the boys are getting so big! Have a nice time at the graduation.

SUSAN...yeah, it is quite the hottie! Loved him in Northern Exposure! Have to see the pooper scooper pic, lol! You are a cute pooper scooper for sure, lol! And WTG on the 84 miles :lol: That would be quite the walk wouldn't it? Couldn't even imagine that many miles in a day, ugh, my feet are hurting thinking about it.

FRANCIE...glad you survived the power outage! Hope you are feeling better. I agree with Susan, when you start feeling like that jump online, there's always someone to chat with somewhere.

KATY...yeah, that book made me feel icky...I got lost trying to figure out the freaking family tree! I just couldn't imagine living like that. WTG on the exercise/miles! Well, I have to confess about the miles & exercise...you ladies have such busy lives with kids and all and I don't so that gives me lots of free time with nothing to do. I figure I might as well do something good for myself. Or at least I think I am doing good...keeps me busy for sure. But I do get tired of it...just think it's in my head and now I don't know how to slow down, lol.

JULES...:celebrate: HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY to YOU! :celebrate: Enjoy that baby! Saw Ry's newest pic on your myspace...he is looking handsome...how does he like the haircut? Looks so grown up!

SUE...we are supposed to get more storms tomorrow and Monday, ugh! I think we have had double the rain/storms this year. Got some crazy stuff the other night...and then the elephants running thru town, lol. Hey, you're doing GREAT with your walking! And WTG on the $65!!

HIYA SASSY & TAMMY :wave: Hoping all is well with you two!

Well, I didn't get much reading done, lol. Did get some...spent too much time on the computer earlier and then went upstairs to boil some eggs and fold some clothes and got interested in a movie...watched Soul Food, love that movie. Makes me miss our big family dinners growing up.

Have a good evening ladies! :hug:

Back for a second!

Mindee- I am sure you will have a blast at the graduation, can't wait to see the pictures. Agree w/ Cristina the avatar w/ Logan and Brandon is adorable!

Cristina - Oh, no I didn't look cute((but you are sweet to say so...)). I will rummage around in my picture boxes and see if I can find the pic, I can copy it and send you snail mail, I don't want that thing on the net. :yikes:
My wonderful idea of 10 miles on the weekend went down the drain. Who wants to walk 10 miles in a day?? Not me.....I did 2 and felt fine w/ that. lol
Potato salad sounds yummy!

Clips are photobucket,,,,,I know I sent you this one but it still cracks me up...



Francie - I like Bo Derek, I guess I will share him with her. What are you doing today???

Sassy - Where ARE you??

I am going to pick up Beck and we are going to Powells , I think I will get the book that SATC is based on (????)...is there a book?? I think there is...anyway, that or Certain Girls.....
I bought a New Balance pedometer, I need to figure out how to work the darn thing. I forgot what Katy said....by a cheap one or don't buy a cheap one?? So, I bought a 12.99 one, couldn't bring myself to buy a $19 one that had a cover.....and I have to measure my stride?? :?: Why is everything so dang complicated??? lol

better get, chat tomorrow!

Hola!!!
 

Cristina~I ONLY felt like that during this effin power outage..so I couldnt get online :( LoL!!! What book are you reading?? I ended up finishing mine today. Now I just have to wait for the 2nd book to arrive. Grrr..I hate slow mail. I should've ordered it days ago.

Susan~I love that one!! Omg..its too funny. Where do you find these at?? I finished my book, and then slept for awhile. I woke up once to check my email, lol. And then I went back to sleep, lol. I think I'll order a movie On Demand tonight. What about you? Oh ya..Sex and the City is a book..I've read it (of course, lol) I didnt really care much for it though. Thought the show was way better. I still wanna read Lipstick Jungle. I love that show too. Cant wait for it to come back this fall.

Sassy~WB!!! :hug: I love Marie in your sig. She's so cute. "Because I'm a lady, thats why" LoL!! I agree with you about the heat. When I lived in Az..I was always tired from the heat. Of course, theres no heat here, so I dunno why I'm always asleep, lol. Maybe it makes the time go by faster. I used to love watching Little House on the Prarie. But then Mary went blind and it just got corny, lol. I will totally keep my fingers crossed that your dh gets the job!! Ya..I want a waffle cone now. And a corn dog too. LoL!!! Congrats to your in laws!! 37 years..wow. Me & Fonzo are barely gonna be celebrating our 4 year anniversary in December, lol. We're like rookies compared to them, lol.



So ya..I finished my book, took my nap, emailed Fonzo, read the gossip on Perez, checked myspace, checked 3FC..and now I'm out of things to do. I guess I could go check the outside mail. Or maybe make something for dinner. Except I'm not really hungry. My stomach hurts for some reason. I'm gonna order a movie to watch at 8 or 9. So I have time to kill. Its moments like this where I wish Fonzo was home to keep me busy. Of course, I just wish he was home in general, lol. This month is going by super slow.

Oh I just remembered...I bought this picture frame that says.."Proud of my Sailor" So now I have to find pics of Fonzo to put in it. Its really cute too..I'll post a pic of it when I've filled it up. Ohhh..and there was this display case at the NEX that I really wanted to get for Fonzo. Its where you can display all the Navy coins that you have. And Fonzo has several coins..so I really wanted to get it for him. But it was like $70!!! And I really wanna get him another one to display all his medals too. Oh ya..have I ever shown you guys my shadow box?? Its sooooooooo beautiful. I havent hung it up, because it needs screws or something strong to hold it up. And I cant be putting put holes in these walls. But I'm totally gonna hang it up in our new place.


Anyways..I shall go now.

Heres my shadow box!!

My wedding bouquet was cut in half, and freeze dried. The extra roses are the ones she cut off from it and freeze dried as well. Plus, it has my pretty wedding invitation. I LOVE it so much. This is probably something that I will not be packing when we move. Its going to go in the trunk of the car because its fragile, and I dont wanna risk it getting broken.

Hello...I walked a mile in between the raindrops. Was lucky to get that.

I didn't do much today as I felt pretty well worn out for some reason. I did make potato salad Cristina. Great minds think alike. :)

Talk more tomorrow. Ciao..

Hey guys, I am new. Just joined today. I was reading your thread and you all sound like a great group. Do you mind if I join you all. Clara

I just had to say good night!

Sue - :hug: Hope you are able to get some rest tonight!

Sassy - My fingers are crossed that your DH gets some postive results on the out-of -state job. It is nice to see you back posting! Take care of yourself :) - we missed you.

Francie - I love your shadow box, how beautiful. I saw Lipstick Jungle at Powells but went w/ Babyville by Jane Green. Certain Girls is still hardback and I couldn't bring myself to buy a book that cost $15.00.I get everything off of Photobucket. I search for *diet* or *weight loss* and get those pictures.....I love the site. Take it easy tonight, remember we are here for you :)

Cristina & Jules - If you guys make it to Portland we HAVE to go to Powells, it is such an awesome place for books.

I am going to go home. I think I will read for a bit and go to sleep. I miss my Gaby so much. She was able to wear jeans today for the 1st time. It has always been so hard to dress her in pants because of her tummy. My mom bought some Unionbay jeans and Gaby was so excited that they fit this morning. I will get here back tomorrow at 2pm and I am guessing Rach will be coming home from camping. Last day of school is Tuesday, let the fun begin!!

k- night all :)

Welcome Clara :wave: we would love to have you post here! Look forward to getting to know you, have a good night and chat more tomorrow!

first off, welcome Clara! It is nice to see some new people in here!

just popping back in here.....

we had a great time at the graduation party! if you are on myspace, I put up the pictures from the party on there now.

It's almost midnight here in Texas. I would like to know how I can post a ticker. I'll be back tomorrow to continue getting to know you.

Grrrr :mad: I was typing and I lost the effin page!!! Then I had to restart my comp. :mad:

Welcome Clare :wave: Looking forward to getting to know you!!! :grouphug:

Susan~I didnt care much for Babyville. It sorta made me angry, lol. I still cant read Certain Girls. The way the daughter thinks makes me angry, lol. If you want, I can lend you my copy. I took your advice and got out my journal that I started last year. The last time I wrote it in was in October 2007, lol. I put a post it to mark my new entries. I probably should just buy a new one..but this one is still brand new, lol. And I've started so many journals and never finished writing in them, lol. I havent filled out an entire journal since high school. I guess my life isnt very interesting anymore, lol. I have my whole dating history with Fonzo written down in 2 journals.


Mindee~I love your avator..too cute!!


Well..I did something bad tonight. I ordered a pizza, breadsticks and a diet pepsi. The diet Pepsi is GROSS!!! Ugh..I've never ever had a diet soda before, and I dont think I ever will again. I watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age tonight. It was really good. Clive Owen is yummy!!! I love his voice!!!

I found this pic of Fonzo..and I'm so jealous. I want his collar bone!!! I hate that he's so naturally skinny. He's so yummy..I cant wait till he's home...

I'm gonna watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding after the news..YAY!! LoL!!! Plus..I'm gonna work on my picture frame too.

Okay..heres the picture frame I was talking about earlier. I realize that the eagle's head is cut off..but by the time I noticed it, I had put all the ends back on it..lol. And it took me forever to get the pics straight, and I'm cranky now cuz I kept messing up, lol. So I'll fix it before Fonzo gets home. But ya..here it is..

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...Picture095.jpg


I think Fonzo will be kinda annoyed by it though, lol. He doesnt really like all the Navy stuff I keep around here. I have his pic in a Navy snow globe and it plays Anchor's Away. He thinks its kinda corny (not the song, just the snow globe). He puts up with it though, cuz he knows I like all the Navy stuff. I'm sorta kinda hoping to put the frame in our baby's room. If we ever have a baby..

My Shadowboxes/Wedding Songs/Etc.....
 

popping in here since it is extremely hot outside! yahoo says that it is 91 outside......so we are staying inside in the cool air conditioner!

Now, I wish I had done a shadowbox with all my stuff. But I did put some of my special things in a dark tote. I put my dress in the tote as well. My aunt made it for me so I want to keep it. Plus, if we ever renew our vows, I want to be able to wear it again! (hopefully being a lot smaller in body size this time)

Our wedding song is "Amazed" by Lonestar. It was the first song that we ever slow danced to. Plus, it came out around the time that we started dating.

Francie~ That is a very cute picture frame! And, I think that would look great in a baby's room!

We watched parts of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" the other day.

Sassy~Okay..now you have to post some of your wedding pics..because I wanna see them :p I love your shadow boxes!!! You have a very pretty bouquet. I should put my veil in mine. Its just sitting in this bag I had with me when I got married, lol.

Mindee~I love that song "Amazed" and thats saying alot because I dont listen to much country, lol. I wish I had my wedding dress with me. Its still at my cousin's house..although, she probably sold it or ripped it to shreds by now.

Our wedding song was "Come What May" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. I thought the lyrics were fitting for us. Who knew they would actually ring very true later on, lol. Our actual song is "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. Actually...we have a ton of "our songs" but that one is #1. Our other songs are Come What May..So Happy Together~The Turtles..PS I Love You~The Beatles (most of the Beatles' love songs our "our song" lol) and I Got You Babe~Sonny & Cher (even though they broke up..its still a great song). Hmm..I just noticed that most of our songs are oldies..lol.

2 of my all time fave love songs are "Something" by the Beatles & "Time of the Season" by the Zombies. Omg..whenever I hear either of them, I have to turn it up so loud. I just go crazy for those songs!!!!! "Something" is beautiful and "Time of the Season" is just plain out sexy, lol. They do not make good songs like that anymore.


Oh ya..Fonzo really liked the picture frame. I was worried he wouldnt, lol. But he thinks it would be cute to put in a baby's room.

Good afternoon gals...It is a hot one here too, and the humidity is awful. I am staying indoors like Mindee. It is only 86* here though. I just can't be in the sun at all, and the shade isn't too comforting. We usually sit outside in the morning or evening.

Mindee- Love the boys' picture. Glad you all had a good time at the graduation party. We didn't have any to go to this year since my darn GS who should have graduated quit school. Thankfully he is talking about going back.

Sassy- Don't you hate how some people can't grow up and leave the high school drama behind? Believe me I know women MY age, which is a darn sight older than you girls, and they still act like drama queens and gossips. It's almost funny in a sad way. Something lacking in their lives to have to do that.

Francie- Cute picture frame. And the shadowbox is such a neat idea too. Hope your Sailor boy gets to come home soon. Hey, don't stress out about the drive. We've gone cross-country at least 3 times and it was fun. There is so much to see. And if you are not on a strict schedule you can take your time. The first time my DH had everything planned out and we zipped right along. Only stopped one night and that was not good. After that I told him I would fly and he could drive unless we took our time. I won and we had pleasant trips after that. We found reasonable lodging and my best tip is to find motels with breakfast included. It is so much easier to eat before you get on the road for the day. One less meal you have to worry about. Plus, if they have fruit you can stick an apple or banana in your bag for a later snack. Make sure you have plenty of water in a cooler and you will be fine.

Susan- Thanks, yes, I did get a good night sleep. Feel much better today, but this darn heat is keeping me indoors. I should be getting lots of housework done, but I'm not. :) Hope your girls get back home to keep you company.

Cristina- I don't have kids to worry about, but I still don't get as much exercise as you do. I think you have to be dedicated, and I clearly am not. LOL. I was upset that we lost the last few days of 3fc since I was going to look back to the 1st and see how much I had walked. I know DH and I walked 2 miles twice, but I started my ticker on the 5th...sadly, I am doing poorly. I can always find an excuse. "Oh, I have a hangnail...I can't walk today." :dizzy:

Katy- I never did get my profile at Goodreads up or any info about my books on there. You do such a good job! Hope you have fun with the kiddos this summer.

Jules- How is your week-end going with the baby? My "baby" GS who is 8 will be here over the 4th of July. I'm gonna get me lots of hugging.

Clara- Welcome to you. You have come to the right place for laughs and support.

I feel like a complete slug today...staying in the cool and reading. I finished another Fern Michael's book, 2 this week. I think that is all the ones I have about the Sisterhood, and just missing one from that series. I need to get my behind to the book store and find the missing escapade. Then I have 2 shelves full of books to keep me busy for awhile. I can't pass up paperbacks at garage sales or the library sale.

I have a beef stew in the crock-pot and told DH I would bake him a cake and biscuits. I guess I better get my rear in gear.

Just a quickie for now....I have to go claim my unemployment for the week!!lol


Clara -
Some Ticker information: Weight tickers you click on the User CP to that is located to the left of the screen and go down to Settings & Options and click on Edit Signature. It will open a window to how to make a weight ticker.

Hope that helps. I think there might be a so called *trail period* before you can do a signature though, not sure......like waiting 30 days or your first born child in return for a ticker....haha, jk.

Welcome again!
