SuzyQ-from the pics I have seen of the Pacific NW, I really could fall in love with it. I doubt Ry is ever going to come back to the East Coast except to visit. Teri's friend Norman is up and helping her pack, he gives really good advice and has always been there for her. He's a really nice guy so of course she could never date him.....the have been friends for over two years since he moved here from NY.

Sassy--I am really feeling your pain, I wish I could come give you a big hug.

Asia--I LOVE the tattoo. I really would love to be able to help out mil and sil, but my bank account lives from direct deposit to direct deposit...MIL has really screwed us over in a lot of other ways too. My hubby and son haven't talked to her in like 3 years because some of the pure evil things she has done.

Sue--hey there...

Mindee--you are doing so wonderful--keep it up even if Tommy quits--maybe you will inspire him. My hubby gets grumbly when he does his idea of dieting--which is to starve himself!!

Crisitna--she says she just wishes Dominic would have a different father. Everything is almost down packing. She says she is just tired of the drama with Dave even though he will be in her life the rest of Dominic's life. SHe wants him to get out of jail and get a schedule of visitation set up and child support going (if he even can get a job) SHe hates him, but she wants Dominic to know himand make his own judgement when he gets older...

Francie--when is the move to Maryland?? glad your neck is feeling better..

Katy--I guess I am joining your slept like crap last night club!!

Well hubby came in and wants to look on the internet!!

Cristina~The guy cut off my thick hair with an electric razor. I thought that was so weird!! LoL!! It totally tickled too. My hair doesnt feel as thick anymore, thank goodness for that, lol. I wanna get a lily on my neck. Something like this... http://www.flickr.com/photos/marilka/2348331254/ I sort of want it going down my neck. Does that make any sense?

Mindee~Well..I have tattoos on both of my wrists..and I want one on my ankle. So I think I'm going for all the places that would hurt me the most, LOL!!! Thats so cool that you & your best friends are gonna get tattoos. What are you guys gonna get? My friend Heather has 2 stars on her neck, so I should ask her if hers hurt at all. Of course, I'm not gonna get any tattoos until after we move. But man..I really really really want one now!!

Asia~Oh wow..I LOVE your tattoo!! Did that hurt at all?? My friend Bridget has a back tattoo and she said it didnt hurt at all, lol. It goes from one shoulder to the other. But Fonzo just got 2 sparrows on both shoulder blades and he said it hurt. But he's boney, lol. Is that your only one?

Susan~I'm afraid to become Becky. LoL!! I'm pretty close though. My neck was hurting. Oh God, it was hurting so much. The pain is mostly gone now. It was more on the left side. I can still feel it when I try to bend my head to the left, but its not as bad. At least I can pop my neck now..I couldnt do that last week.

Jules~The move will be happening after Aug. 12th!!



So we went to the Tacoma Mall today. I had a ton of cash that was burning up my wallet and I wanted to spend it all on clothes!! But I couldn't find anything that I liked. Everything at Torrid sucked!!!!!!!!! There was nada at Lane Bryant..and I didnt see anything at any of the department stores either. I'm seriously bumbed out. I really wanted to buy some freakin clothes, and for once..Fonzo was gonna along with it, lol. I'm not usually a difficult shopper..so I dunno what happened. The clothes looked so much better at Torrid online than they did in the store. How weird is that? The only thing I bought was 2 books from the bookstore. But ya can't wear books now can ya? Grrrrrr

well, like usual, my plans didn't go like I thought they would. while Tommy was making dinner, it started to storm like you wouldn't believe! the power went out twice during this time. in fact, it is still raining outside now, but the storms, they say, are over with.

Sue~ LOL I didn't even catch it......but my kids were also being crabs at the time that I wrote it, so I was probably talking about them. LOL

Asia~ that is a great tattoo! I am Irish and German. Tommy is Irish, German, and two different tribes of Native Americans. So, he has said that he wants to get something for all three. Right now, he has a leprechaun with a rainbow for his Irish heritage. He is looking at something tribal for his native American side.

SuzieQ~ We have been trying to play it safe and if they got hurt we were praying that it wasn't something that we would have to take them into the hospital or something. I do know that I have to call and get them into a medical plan, and hopefully that won't take forever! Thanks for the bravo! I told Tommy that I had lost some more weight, and he said "good job!" right now he is bugging for me to make him some peanut butter cookies.....I told him that if I didn't make them tonight, then I will make them on Thursday.

Jules~ I think that is every guys idea of a diet! Tommy came home from work and told me that a lady that he works with said for me to do the Special K diet and I will lose a lot of weight with that. I said "I will keep up with SBD and if it ends up not working out for me, then I will try it." He is worried about having to buy all the special food that you have to eat. I said "there is no special food to eat. We can go back to adding our regular stuff in different form and to watch the portions." then he mumbled something about me always dismissing his ideas and such. that was when I told him about stepping on the scale and being down in weight......so it more or less shut him up.

Francie~ We haven't all sat down in the same room to discuss it, but one of the girls told me that she would get it done. we haven't really tossed around ideas. But I am sure that we will find something that we all agree on or if we can remember any kind of "special" or inside joke kind of thing that would work as one, then we would probably get that. which reminds me, I probably should send them a message about it.

hello to every body that I missed.....I am just putzing around online and finishing up my email.

Susan- I could of sworn that I read somewhere that you just weighed in at 228.8. I am really sorry!!!!!

DON'T POST HERE! Please and thank you

Head on over to BIK 151...see ya there!
