I would love to try on wedding dresses again!!! I picked mine out right away, so I didnt have all that time to think about dresses, lol. OoO..and reading Bridal mags are so much fun too. I always like to peak at them, but Fonzo gives me weird looks, lol. Men dont understand, lol. Fonzo was on the other side of the world when I was planning our wedding. Plus..he picked out his tux in like 2 mins, so what does he know, lol.

Happy Sunday, ladies...

SUSAN...I think I was thinking as I was typing, lol...seem to do that a lot. I would enjoy your company for dinner every saturday! Hope you enjoy your walk on the beach, stay a few extra minutes for me! I miss the beach so much.

KATY...Hope you get some rest today.

SUE...wtg on the biking and the neighbors biking as well!

FRANCIE...boy, I must say I am confused I thought the pictures were from the book thing...guess someone needs to really read posts more careful My head has been swirling, can't seem to concentrate lately. Another one here that LOVES, and I do mean LOVES to look at the wedding magazines! Glad Fonzo is helping now.

MINDEE...WTG on the shirt being loose! And getting your water and exercise in.

Nothing special going on today. Slept in 'til about 8:30 and then went out on the deck to enjoy the morning before it got too hot. It is so nice sitting out back. Anywho...hoping everyone is enjoying the weekend!

back for a quickie..I snoozed a little and worked out in the yard a little, so I am feeling a bit more human.

Asia - I meant to tell you that your pics are great! You and your bf look so healthy and happy I remember feeling like that after my DH and I climbed to the top of Black Butte ( a VERY long time ago)

Here's a link with a video of what zumba looks like...it's lots of fun!

Hi to everyone else! I have to go help my dd clean up the playroom and she is quite insistent so I'll bbl ( hopefully)

http://www.people.com/people/article...216352,00.html Check out Brad & Angelina's twins. They are soooooooooo cute!!!! I cant wait to have my own little babies!!

Oh and Cristina..the pics were from the book thing...

Boy, this was a lazy day for us. We went to breakfast and later went out to DD's farm house project. Otherwise didn't do a thing. I read papers and drank coffee. I did walk and rode the bike 3 miles. Feeling good about that. DH and I sat out in the pergola most of the afternoon and enjoyed the breeze. It wasn't humid today, so the heat was bearable.

Francie- Awwww, the twins are adorable. I wanted twins when I had my first DD, but what did I know, I was so young. Hope you and Fonzo are agreeing on HOW to go about the cleaning and moving.

Katy- The Zappos site was interesting...I found several pairs of shoes I want. Who knew you could get washable leather mules? What is Simple? Hope you get back into a good sleep routine. I hate having sleepless nights.

Susan- Have a good time at the beach. I am so looking forward to our Oct. trip to San Diego for the beach. Now, I'll have you know my German feet are size 7.5.....haha. Mom wears 8.5 and I always thought my feet looked just like hers, but for some reason they never got as large. Hmmm, curious.

Cristina- Hi to you. Mom is doing quite a bit better, thanks for asking. She is gaining back her weight and feeling more like eating and walking. The physical therapy helped a lot. She hopes to go out of state with her brother over Labor Day. *fingers crossed* that she doesn't get sick before then.

Mindee- You are doing so well with the water and exercising. Hope the scales move down for you this week. Way to go on the shirt being looser. I always love when that happens.

Asia- I loved the pictures...ya...you look like you worked hard on that hike. You are both so cute. Wow..you did find some good deals. I found a nice pair of slacks last week for $6.99 and was happy with that.

Sassy- Where are you? Hope you had a nice week-end and that DH is not too stressed out.

Okay...I know I am forgetting some of you, sorry...I will do better next time.

Going to lunch with DD tomorrow and to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things with DH. Nothing and no appointments this week...yay!

I thought this was cute:
A tourist from New York was hiking through the mountains of North Georgia
when he came upon the tiniest cabin he had ever seen in his life.
Intrigued, he went up and knocked on the door.
'Anybody home?' he asked.
'Yep,' came a kid's voice through the door.
'Is your father there?' asked the tourist.
'Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in,' said the kid.
'Well, is your mother here? No, she left before I got here,' said the kid.
'But,' protested the city slicker, 'are you never together as a family?'
'Sure, but not here,' said the kid through the door. 'This is the outhouse!'

we took the kids to the park on Sunday afternoon with some neighbors that we are friends with. we played volley ball, horse shoes, and just hung out. the office manager, who is a friend of ours, watched the kids so that we could play volley ball.

when we got done playing volley ball, she asked me where Logan got the lump on the back of his head from. I said what lump? and she showed me. he has this HUGE lump on the back of his head. I put some rubbing alcohol on it in case he got stung by a bee or something. but I am going to keep an eye on it on Monday, and if it doesn't go down, then we will be off the Prompt care when Tommy gets home from work!

HAPPY MONDAY, LADIES!

Not sure why I say that because what is so happy about Monday's?

Had some errands to run and have most of my exercise done. This weather is the pits and really messing up my walking, lol. I've only been getting half of my outdoor walk because by then it is too icky, or I should say sticky. So finishing it up on the treadmill and I have 15 minutes left. Other than that nothing much going on. Staying inside out of the 100+ degree weather. So will do some laundry, finish up the exercise and do my laundry.

FRANCIE...gotcha! I was wondering if I was losing my mind or what, lol. Okay, so even though I am boycotting Bradgelina...whatever they call them, lol...I did look at the twins and they are adorable, so tiny.

SUE...you are doing great with your walking and biking! Glad your momma is doing well. Enjoy your outing with DD. That was a cute joke, lol.

KATY...now that is the kind of exercise I should be doing, looks like a lot of fun.

JULES...hoping all is well with you and the fam.

SUSAN...hope you are enjoying the beach for me!

TAMMY...are we going to have to come drag you off the beach? I wouldn't want to leave either. Hoping all is well with you.

MINDEE...hoping nothing is wrong with Logan. Maybe he fell and just didn't tell you, or bumped his head on something. Speaking of bug bites...DD was picking weeds and was bit by some mosquitoes and man you would not believe how big it got. It swelled up fast. Her and DS#1 have always had allergic reactions to the bites.

Hello to everyone else

Well, I need to get over to shutterfly and finish up my walk so I can come back and add it.

Take care ladies, and have a great day!

well, we had an adventure like usual!

we called and were able to get Logan into the pediatrician's office, but he would be seen by another doctor because their pediatrician is out of the country. which isn't a problem at all, but the appointment wasn't until 5:30!

so we take him in there, and he steps on the scale. a little short one standing tall, in his shirt and shorts.........weighing in at 28 pounds even.

so we go into the room...(Tommy sat in the waiting room with Marissa and Brandon) so Logan was getting into every thing! he ran out of the room three times.....on the last time I told Tommy that the only way to keep him in the room was for them to come in there.

The doctor comes in and asks us some questions. she asked how old Brandon was and about his speech. to which we said that he is already been seen about that and that he will be seeing the ENT sometime next month. then we get back to the holy terror, I mean Logan.

It took me holding him down on the table, just for her to listen to his heart and lungs....then to look in his ears and mouth. Come to find out, this kid has an ear infection! and the bump on his head, is just that, a bump from falling. but there was another little spot that she said looked like a bite.

so we take him back on September 3rd for a recheck on his ear. and hopefully by then, we can get the pediatrician to get the ball rolling with Brandon and the ENT. (since by the calendar on the school districts website, that is the same day that school starts!)

which brings me to my next thing........I am going to call about getting Logan into a local head start program. I told Tommy "knowing my luck, if I can get him into the program, one will go in the morning and the other one will go in the afternoon." he said "so, is that such a bad thing?" so, I will be calling on Tuesday to see about that! which us luck that he can get into the program!

Good afternoon ladies... We had storms and lots of rain overnight. I sure didn't sleep much. Once it stopped this morning I decided to go ride, just in case it storms later. So I got in 2 miles last night and 3 this morn. I had a typo on my counting and went from 73 to 72 instead of 75. It is correct now with today's 3.

Nothing going on the rest of the day except computer things. Realtor sent us several listings from LV to look over. That plus planning the trip.
Then I am trying to re-group some photos I have on cd's. They go back to 2003, so quite a chore. When I first got my camera I wasn't aware of the labeling and making files...I just put them on cd. Yikes. So, that's gonna be my day. (probably take a lot more time than a day)

I am determined to eat right today..... I had a bowl of cereal and melon for breakfast. It is dinner time where I fall apart. Wish I could skip it and go right back in to breakfast. LOL

What are you all up to today?

Good Morning!

The beach was beautiful and so peaceful, I love the sound of the ocean waves. It was just Gaby and myself and we might go back Thursday/Friday. It is so hot here ((in Portland)) today (mid 90') I should have never come back.

Bad news is I am back up a bit to 149.6. Argh, I tried but I couldn't refuse some bagels. So, I guess overall it wasn't too bad and I am back on track today.....so, ya. I am in denial, huh?? lol

Sue - Maybe it is the Hispanic side that gives me the 9.5 feet?? I always blamed the German in me..lol

anyway - I will have to catch up in a bit I have way too many errands this morning.

Just wanted to say hello!

hello ladies.........

nothing really new on this end.....

Tommy was suppose to go to a job interview this afternoon, but has decided against it because he was told that he is coming up for a promotion at the job he is at now. PLUS, we will get insurance next month, so it really isn't all that bad!

A lady that just moved in over the weekend asked me if I wanted a table and chairs set for the kids. I went and looked at it, and she helped me bring it back home. It is just like a card table and chairs but kid sized. Then her son came over with some puzzles. Brandon has been having fun doing the state puzzle that was in the box.

I am going to say screw it and take the kids to the pool right now. I had the air on already, but the house is cool enough so I opened it up to see if it was still as sticky as it was earlier. so, I will have to come back later........

Hi Susan...Good to have you back. I envy you the beach trip. I would love to take a walk in the sand.

Have fun at the pool Mindee.

Just dropping by to say HI...nothing really going on and nothing really to say...same old stuff.
