Susan- Good job on your soup. It sounds delicious. Me and Andrew actually didnt do anything. He is taking golf for a PE credit. He fell of a golf cart today and hurt his back. He just wanted to rest. So I went to a freinds house and worked out. SO it ended up good anyways.

doing my nightly pop in.......

my mom called me on Monday and asked what we were doing for the holiday. I said that I have no idea what we are doing. she suggested us going up there, and I told her that if we have the gas money we will be up there. she said that one of my other sisters will be up there, plus another sisters daughters will be up there.

then one of the kids' godfathers called and asked us what we are doing. he works at the race track that Tommy used to work at, and they are shooting fireworks off on Friday.

then Tommy is talking to him, and finds out that they are going to Vegas in August. which didn't seem odd to me, until he said "well, how long are you going to be there?" our friend told him that they will be gone from August 5th to the 10th. Which again, didn't seem odd to me.....what did seem odd to me was that he kept glancing over at me every two seconds. then Tommy finally says "well, I was thinking of doing a little birthday BBQ for somebody here." he hung with our friend and I said "so, were you actually going to throw it as a surprise party for me?" he said "yeah, but then I figured you would start asking a lot of questions when I go shopping and start coming home with all this stuff for it." he said that he came up with the idea on Saturday or Sunday.

we are making more time for the two of us after the kids go to bed. we sat down one night last week, and said that we had to have a mandatory time for just us, weekly massages, and some other things that have escaped my mind right now. but after every thing that has gone on in the past couple of months, it is all really needed!

Good Morning!! (only 11:40 here!)

Mindee- you will appreciate this , there is a male POUNDING on the keyboard next to me and talking to himself, how %$#@$%^ annoying is that?? lol

Asia - Ya, the soup was good, I was surprised the broth had so much flavor, I think I will make another pot today Great you were able to get a wrok out in last night!!

k- this is a quickie!! I went down a pound, it is a recycle pound but I am happy about it. Chat later when I have more time.

Hope you all are having a good day!

doing my daily pop in for now.....

SuzieQ~ That is hilarious! what was he so mad about?

Asia~ Sorry to hear about Andrew's back. Great job on getting the work out in!

Just stopping by real quick because I'm supposed to be getting dressed, lol. We're going to the mall & Old Navy today. $1 flip flops!! Score!! LoL!! Anyhoo..I finally have a new cell phone, and I need numbers!! So if you wanna exchange numbers..PM, email or contact me on myspace!!!

Okay..gonna go now. Hope you're all doing great!!!

Howdy Chickies!

SUSAN...hoping Gaby will fall asleep early so you can enjoy your bag of carrots and The Bachelorette...can't even spell it The soup sounds delicious!

ASIA...sorry to hear of Andrews back, hope it gets better soon! You ladies are making me want soup!

MINDEE...Tommy is a good husband! It is hard to pull off a surprise party for your spouse for sure. Yeah, I don't understand throwing the teens & seniors in there as well. It is supposed to be about having and raising a baby

FRANCIE...I'll send you a message thru myspace with my number...I'm not much of a phone talker though so it may be a short conversation, lol. I didn't know Old Navy had $1 fip flops...gonna have to check it out. I saw the movie last night, finally! I thought the dad did it...now I want to read the book, bet it is better. I've been wanting to read a few of her books just haven't yet.

Hi to SUE, SASSY, JULES, KATY, TAMMY & CLARA!

Nothing much going on with me. V & I went and mowed and weed eated for Charlotte yesterday. Not sure if I mentioned that she had hurt her back at work and can't do a lot of things that she did before...mowing being one of them. Her old lawn mower had quit on her and we gave her our old one...not even sure why we still had it. Don't think Chase can start it so looks like me an V will be doing her yard which isn't a problem.

Today, had some errands to run this morning and even though I slept in, I still got it done before leaving, yay! Other than that nothing going on...going to finish my book today and then start another...trying to get back on track with it.

We are not doing anything special on the 4th, never do. Will hang around the house and probably do some yard work. May BBQ some burgers and dogs for dinner but nothing special.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi everyone!

yay - Jeremy is GONE! There are some great spoilers on the thread over at Survivor Sucks..I'm not going to post them here, but they are GOOD. PM me for the short version. So that's what I did yesterday. I caught up on Swingtown episodes online, did laundry, mopped floors and watched the Bachelorette. Ho hum.

DS has a friend over and everyone is screaming bloody murder in the backyard, so I'd better go see what's up.

BBL

I forgot all about Jeremy!! Thank goodness he is gone Katy! Something about him that was odd. Maybe his "need" for DeAnna or his trying so hard to win her over. Jesse & D (cute how he has a nickname for her ) were all over each other, I was kind of surprised. Also he went from not knowing if he was ready for marriage w/ his talk with "Dad" now he is all ready to tie the knot.
It was nice to see Jason chill out and have some fun.
Not sure who she will pick, I guess I like Jason. I mean I LOVE Jesse but I am not sure Deanna will pick him since his future seems more unsettled -jobwise.
What was wrong in the backyard?? Hope no one is hurt!!

Cristina - Gaby crawled in bed at 6:40 and we read books, she finally was snoring at 7:55, with 5 minutes to spare til The B came on.
That is nice that you guys can help out w/ Char's yard. The soup is good, I made some more today and it is so low calorie and fills me up, I kind of feel guilty. lol I put in a zuccheni, yellow squash, carrots and onion plus the tenderloin. Today I only had 1 can of broth so I just added water, not as much flavor but still good, and I put in a whole onion, because I love onions and only takes 20 or so mintues. I also cut up 2 cucumbers and tossed w/ low fat Italian dressing as something to nimble on.

Mindee- Who knows about the guy, what a nut. Probably on his single dating site and some lady was telling him what a loser he was.....lol
Ok, I am mean. He swung his backpack over my head when he was leaving and I finally exploded and said "geeeeeezus, what it."

Franice Yay $1 flip flops! I will have to tell the girls, I can't wear them, hurt my feet. I did paint my toe nails black last night to match my black sandals

k- on the run! I have to go get Gaby from school now.

No exercise today...I feel like a slug. Just out of sorts for some reason.

I went to the bank and then to the Home Improvement Store. Mopped floors, cleaned baths and hung curtains. Tomorrow is grocery day after I take Mom to the heart Dr.
Somewhere in there I am hoping the car dealer calls and has found me an HHR. According to the internet search I did they are getting hard to find. Might have to wait for a 2009 model.

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and planning a nice Holiday.

doing my nightly pop in........carefully! I am repainting my nails, and so I am trying not to screw them up!

we decided to go up north to see my parents on Friday. not staying over night, just going up for the day. so it should be nice, my mom just sent Tommy an email and said to bring every body's suits because the pool is open.

we are going to pick up some of those nutrition supplemental drinks for Logan. He hasn't really had that big of an appetite lately, and Tommy was cleaning him up after his bath, and said that he could see and feel his ribs. not that long ago he had a gut on him, so I am hoping for a growth spurt!

Francie~ That is a score on the flip flops! that reminds me, I need a new pair!

SuzieQ~ LMAO....that is a good possibility. Maybe he finally got dealt some reality and didn't want to accept it.

Cristina~ I wanted to throw him a surprise party last year since he turned 30....but couldn't pull it off with him! it was a nice thought for him to try and pull it off, but he was right, I probably would have blown it for myself when he started buying the stuff!

Katy~Thank God Jeremy is gone!! Her dates with Jesse & Jason seemed a lot more fun than her time spent with Jeremy. Whats with the 3 J's? LoL!! I bet she'll pick Jason though. Jesse will be my side lover

Cristina~Myspace is being stupid right now..But I did get your 2nd message, lol. I laughed cuz you forgot your number, lol. But then when I was adding you to my phone, I just typed in your name and clicked save, LOL!! Ya..total airhead moment, lol.

Mindee~There was NO flip flops..they were all sold out. I was sooooooooo mad!!!!

Anyhoo..We had a pretty busy day. We went to Target and bought some games and I bought the new Jane Green book. Then we went to Petsmart and bought some toys for the cats. After that we stopped by Old Navy, but that was a huge waste of time. I did find a cute top though, but Fonzo looked like he wanted to poke his eye out, lol..so we left. At Barnes & Noble, I reseved a copy of Breaking Dawn (the last one in the Twilight series). I also bought some Maryland travel books!! At the mall..I bought 3 pairs of shoes!! Fonzo only bought 1 pair, lol. Afterwards..we went to see Wall-E..and omg..that was such a cute movie!!!!!!!!!!! I totally cried at the end, it just really touched me. And it was the 3rd Pixar movie to touch me like that too. The other 2 are Finding Nemo & Monster's Inc. We had dinner at Famous Daves and shared some hella yummy dessert. Mmmm!! I wanna go back tomorrow, but that would be a bad idea, LoL!! So ya..now we're home. We're gonna watch some movies after ****'s Kitchen. I'm dying to know who won. Tomorrow we're gonna go see Kung Fu Panda. LoL!!

Did I mention that I'm totally lovin Fonzo being home?? It was like he never left!!

I only have time for a quick update. I went to Shara's house which is the friend from last night and we went walking. We walked 3 miles. I got to go to the movies with Andrew tonight. It was fun. I snuck in popcorn from home. We saw wanted. I was very good. There were a few parts that were kinda iffy. My eating has been really good today. I did some leg exercises while I did the dishes. I didnt weigh my self. I am trying to hold off untill Monday. I obsess about it so much. Anyways I have gotta get up and be at the park by 6 so I can walk with Shara. Adios!!!

sassy~ I hope your headache goes away soon!

francie~ sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! the last movie that we saw in the movie theater was "Dukes of Hazzard" and I guess I should clarify that Tommy saw the whole movie.......I was pregnant with Logan when we saw it, so I had to take Brandon out and walk the halls when he got restless.

Asia~ Yay on getting in the exercise and the movie!

Checking in since I was up and wanted something to do. Am reading The Pearl and I know I read it before, or thought I did but I'm not really liking it so kinda hard to get thru it. I think I need another James Patterson book, lol. he always keeps me going.

FRANCIE...talk about airhead I told DD about a hour after I sent you a message that I think I forgot to actually put my #, lol. We got a laugh out of that one, geez. Sounds like you and Fonzo had quite the day. I heard that movie was cute & good! Might have to take the kids to see it, lol. I'm not a fan of Angelina Jolie or I would have gone with the guys to see Kung Fu Panda...heard it is cute too! Is Famous Daves a BBQ place? I'm thinking that is the name of the place here and if it is the same dessert I am thinking, well, all I can say is OMG! The hubby wanted to go there for his BD.

SUSAN...sweet little Gaby. Glad you got to watch the B and she went to sleep early, bet she was pooped! The soup sounds too good!

KATY...hope all was well with the boys.

MINDEE...it's hard to plan a surprise party for sure. Spending the 4th at your moms sounds like lots of fun!

SUE...hoping all goes well at the docs today, was going to say tomorrow and realized it is! Hoping too that they find you a HHR in the color you want. Sounds like we are doing almost the same thing tomorrow. I decided to buy groceries tomorrow figuring they would be busy Thursday.

SASSY...sorry you have a headache, hoping it goes away so you can enjoy your time off.

Well, I think I am ready for bed. Getting up early to get my walk in before heading out and running errands.

Almost forgot...with it being the first of the month I took my measurements and am very happy with a NSV. I am down an inch in my chest, and waist, a 1/2 inch in my hips and arm so am very happy with that. I am feeling now that the weights are doing their job! Now to get the pounds off! Oh, and I put on another pair of capri's today that don't fit. While I am happy about that I am frustrated as well...I am getting down to having nothing to wear! Anyway...

Nighty, night ladies...I am sleepy.
