Back In Kindergarten #52
 

doing my daily pop in.....

I bit the bullet and called the pediatricians office. I explained to the one nurse that we know very well, what had happened, and what we have been doing for his burns and blisters. She said that we have been doing every thing right. Just to make sure that we wrap it while he is playing, but we can let the air get to it at night. To keep putting the silver stuff on it that our neighbor is letting us use. And under no circumstances to pop the blisters that he has....we are to leave them to pop on their own OR they will reabsorb the fluid in them, and then they will shrink and fall off on their own.

My gashes are doing well. The one on my leg is pretty much closed, but I am still putting neosporin on it and covering it with a band aid. the one on my arm, well the top of it has closed, but not the bottom half. so neosporin on those and covering those ones as well.

As of right now, we are not going anywhere this coming weekend.....so we will be staying home or at least in this area. That means, spending time at the pool, walking them over to the park so that they can play, and who knows where else we will end up at or who will end up over here.

thanks for the nice comments on my avatar. I was looking at them last night when I uploaded them, and I thought I saw a difference, but then again, it was late too and I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I do have to say that the evil ice cream got to me last night. BUT in my defense it tasted really gross! Tommy said "that is because you haven't had sugar in a while, so your body thinks it is an intruder." Fine by me! I won't be eating any more from now on!

We were discussing my birthday party on the way home from the park. He said "all I am providing are the hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, pop, plates and cups. every thing else, some body else can bring." I said "what? I don't get a cake?" He said "well, you don't usually eat cake, and I am not spending 15 dollars on a cake. or maybe I will just make you one."

other then that, nothing really new......besides Logan climbing out of his bedroom window again last night! I swear I don't know what I am going to do with this kid!

Just popping by to say hi real quick..bbl

Mindee- When is your bday? I love carbs, that is my ice cream.....tell me to lay off bagels and I would go bonkers. lol

Cristina - Thanks for changing the thread for us! I just read from the other thread and now I am having a brain fart trying to remember. lol Umm, finishing Juno tonight, gaby was flipping around too much to let me watch it.
I know,,,,people are rude these days!! Ain't nice like we are.....lol - omg, I was at Starbucks this morning and these 2 ladies lean against the stand that has the milk & sugar, they were waiting for their drinks. All I get is the coffee and I just want to get to the sugar & half and half....they don't even move, I have to say EXCUSE ME!!! .....duh. I think they are all half wits......lol

Francie - :wave:

I have to get Gabster packed , her father will be here in an hour. We didn't do much, went to value village and I picked gaby up some shorts and 2 shirts...and Rach got some things. McD , I guess called....I will call him later. I really don't want to do anything this weekend.....I have to watch my waistline, ya know..... blame him for me not being in my 140's....jk, not that anal. lol

k- good eating day, good water day......lousy exercise week.....

bbl

Omg...check this out.. http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/07/25...orettes-jason/

He should really be the next Bachelor. But then him & whoever he choses would just break up...

just popping back in here....

nothing really new....Marissa was refusing to go to bed, so we had to go for a walk.

SuzieQ~ My birthday is August 17th! ok......ok...you can keep your bagels! LOL

Mindee - Cute. Marissa is probably this future exercise queen that can't relax until she gets her walk in for the day. *sigh.....it's ok, we can turn this around......there is still hope for her. lol

I bet she is a cutie, I want another baby! :yikes:

mmm, I had a roll w/ mutard and some steak for dinner.

Gaby went w/ her father tonight, who btw paid me child support and I was thinking.....if I squint my eyes really hard and drink a bottle of wine , he ain't looking half bad. I didn't tell him that! I am not that dumb......I just like to amuse myself with stupidity.

Francie- can't open the link but I see Jason's name. PLEASE!! I will not watch any show w/ this man. He skips and wiggles his butt in excitment, major gross. ....and he really deserves to be single.

Case closed........

omg - I was called for jury duty.....can you imagine?? I don't want to do it, I don't want to do anything. I just want to work on my sun tan and eat carbs all day........ewww, and lose lots of weight and have lots of money...and I want kids,,,,but I don't want them around me.....lol

k- off to take my sleeping pill and put myself down for the night. ....:dizzy:

Well hate to be the one to bring back my little "black cloud" again, but its back and I have nothing to do with it coming back this time. :no: My DH got fired. :cry: I will not go into details here because its a public forum, but if you want more details, you know how to get a hold of me.

The eating is going well, infact I only eat enough to take my medications, otherwise I probably wouldn't be eating. Mt. Dew, is not so easy. I have cut down.

Well thats all. I am off to bed. My sleep schedule is all messed up now with the "news" my DH woke me up on Thursday to tell me and we had to do some talking and stuff.

We will be fine, I for once am not worried. I told DH "We have been through worse." He keeps feeling like he has "Failed" me cuz well I guess that is that "male gene" thing where they still have feel like they are "providing" for their family. But I reassured him that no, he did not fail me.

Well I'm really off now! lol.

Bye!

Sassy~I'm so sorry about your dh. :( That sucks so bad!!! :hug: But maybe it is like Cristina said..its a blessing in disguise.


OKay..so nothing much to report on this end. We bought the cat carriers yesterday. And the cats were having a grand ol' time playing in them, LOL. Then April decided to take a nap in all 3 of them, lol. Lucky just wanted to playing in them, lol. And Sassy sat in her carrier for a little bit, marked it..then got out the heck out of it. It was soooooo funny. Sassy did not wanna go in it at all at first!! She knew exactly what it was. LoL!! We had to shove her in there. Then Fonzo took her outside to see what she would do. And as soon as he got to the stairs, she started w/the weird meow. It was sooooooooooooooooo funny!! We were cracking up. Poor cat has issues, lol.


OKay well..we have some stuff to do today. So I better go..ttyl!!

Sassy- :hug: to you and your DH. I know how much you dis-like that company, so maybe this is the kick in the pants to get the "he double toothpick" out of there. Thinking of you...and you have to eat, take care of yourself.

Francie- Hi girlie. Your cats sound too funny. I hope they get used to the carriers for your upcoming trek.

Susan- LOL about the jury duty. I hate filling in those questionaires they send...or maybe they don't even do that in this computer age. Hey...they do pay for jury duty. See...your new job! Have a good week-end!

Cristina- I agree with you re: the laughter. I try to look on the bright side and see the humor in situations...or create the humor if need be. My first DH was a jokester, present one, not so much. Our sense of humor is so different. He is serious minded. That is why I enjoy being with my DDs so much, they are more like me. We also know what the other is thinking and "get" the same funny situations. I must say we have lightened up DH over the years. :)

Mindee- I too like the new avatar. Oh my...climbing out the window..what a feat. I once lived in an apt. where a little girl pushed the screen off the UPPER level window and was hanging out. Scared me to death. We just tried talking to her calmly while someone went and told her parents what was happening. They got her before she fell, or jumped. Scary!! I agree, lock those windows somehow.

Jules- Are you having a busy Sat. with that precious baby? Hope things are good for you.

I am feeling quite good today, for a change. It is hot and humid, so no outdoor time yet. Hopefully I can ride by evening. I swear just 2 or 3 miles a day is getting me going. It also keeps me from snacking if I ride at night. The scales are moving down..little by little. I officially weigh in on Mon.
I know exactly what Cristina is talking about...I think when I joined 3fc I was maybe 175 pounds or so. Then I got stuck at 170 for a loooong time. Each winter I gained and then fell back to 170, and no lower. Last summer I finally wittled it down to 164 and was doing great. Mom got sick and I parked the bike, gained back to 170 quickly, of course. Then the winter...yikes, up to 180- 181. So..that was my starting point THIS TIME. Like I said I know I am losing, and will get the real number Mon. Slow and steady this time.
I don't know why I quit wearing the pedometer and recording my steps. All I have recorded have been the walking around the block...and I know I do more than that daily. So, back to wearing it and recording. I am encouraged by what I have read about the Step diet. May have to get that book. But I can do what I have read...aim for 10,000 steps and cut out 25% of what I have been eating. For me that has meant this week that I fill my plate with the correct portions and DO NOT eat anything more. No seconds. If I am still hungry I eat fruit. You do not have to eat anything wacky or all carbs, all grains, or anything...just what you normally eat. Less of it and move more. Worth a try because it is doable for the long haul.

Okay...sorry this is so lengthy. I just have been thinking about all this...and Cristina saying she is pi$$ed off at herself made me take a good look. Let's do this Cristina.

Although...I might add, with Cristina working out 110 minutes a day I think she kicks all our butts.....Go C. .

doing my daily pop in...

I found this really cute new layout for my myspace.....if you have me on your list, go and check it out if you want. I also got my pictures moved around so I don't have as many folders of pictures. a friend of mine always teases me because I have two pages of pictures.

SuzieQ~ I swear she is going to my motivation factor for me to keep up with all this! now, if they will turn the lights on outside of the buildings so I am not walking in the dark. But it is still fun either way. the funny part of it all......all three of my kids love going for walks/riding their bikes...if it is exercise, they enjoy it! the total opposite of how I was when I was younger...which is a good thing!

Sassy~ My goodness! I will have to send you a message here in a second.

Cristina~ Thank you so much for those nice comments. Wanna hear a secret? That shirt that I am wearing......is a maternity shirt! I only have a few that are still in there, but they will be gone when we get word if we can have a garage sale in here or not. The only time he jumps out the window is when the window has been left open. He doesn't know how to open it himself, which is good. I am a sucker for a funfetti cake with the funfetti icing....that is my biggest downfall! Next year is our 10th anniversary since we started dating. we won't hit our 10th wedding anniversary until 2012. Yay on hitting 182!

Francie~ Your cats crack me up! Was April trying to see which one was the comfiest for sleeping?

Sue~ we used to live in an upper unit. we wanted a lower unit for that exact reason! we know that he is our no fear kid, so we could already see that he might be the one to do it. The step diet? I have never heard of it..I will have to take a gander at it.

Good Afternoon,

Cristina - You might not want to do the one door/ window closes another opens w/ Logan around. haha. That is all kids need is a little encouragment.
I hear you about the up/down on the scale,we all should be at GOAL weight by now :drill:......what the **** is wrong with us!!! lol Actually, I think you are doing good and in the exercise dept you are truly the queen.
One lady on my old, old Yahoo group named Melissa had like 10 pounds to lose and she was on this board for years, never lost anything but her determination was inspiring, she never gave up and I think we all have victory in that dept....we don't give up and we are still here! :cheer3::cheer2::cheer3::cheer2::cheer3::cheer2: .....omg- I think I hear Rocky music or some dang thing swelling in my head. hehe

Sassy :hug: ....so, yes......one job closes ((we don't use doors or windows.....kind of like food porn - lol )) and another better position will open for your husband. And truly I think jobs are overated....look at me, I have been unemployed since Dec.....lol. jk, ok ...I will be serious! mmmmm, :hug: to you and it'll be ok :)

Mindee- I saw the lay out! Very cute and creative, I don't know how to do any of that. You should mention liability to your manager regarding the lightening in the parking lot. I mean....one little trip or stumble.....is not a good thing. You might have to sue and take em for a house of your own. lol.........omg- I thought pms was over?!?!? My kids think I am mean....*eyes roll* whatever......

Francie - Cute kitties!!

Sue - I didn't get past the Aug 18th date on the letter. I passed last January's jury summons , so I probably can't put it off any longer. I guess I do get paid...:dizzy:

Hi to everyone! Katy, Jules, Asia, Tammy, and Clara!!

Took Rach to get a bible this morning, she is going to church tomorrow. I probably should go with her, goodness knows I need it. lol We need a kinder, gentler Susan .....or do we?? :devil: Thinking of Momma Mia, McD doesn't really want to see it so he if he goes with me and is bored I will be annoyed. I want to enjoy it. I would like to go get my hair cut like Rachael Ray.....I think it is a cute style. After that a lot of sleeping - lol....oh, I do want to go get 90 minutes in Heaven by Don Piper, saw it at the Christian book store.

k- that is all my stuff!! Chat later :wave:

I'm back...

SUSAN...I forgot that you mentioned jury duty. Do you think you can get out of it? They wanted me to do it when I lived in CA and I said NO! Lol, like that would do it. I came up with an excuse though. The kids were little and I had no one to watch them so...but I think I would do it now. You are too kind :hug: Thank you for the nice comments and you are right...we definitely are not quitters! And I think you have done an awesom job missy with your weight loss! :bravo: You've come a long way baby! And not just once, so you keep on truckin'! I was just looking at your pictures today, now that is inspiration! :hug:

SUE...thank you as well for the kind words. And ladies, you guys need to quit calling me the exercise queen, lol. I truly am not...just doing what feels good. I never thought I would say I LOVE to exercise but I do! And yes, we can and will do this! Funny...because hubby #1 was a jokester too, and V is totally opposite. He has a sense of humor and we have gotten him to open up a lot but I think sometimes he looks at us like we are weirdo's :lol:

FRANCIE...your cats sound too cute! Hoping they do well with the trip. So...have you guys got the trip mapped out or are you just taking off and what ever you see you see? How did the apartment calling go?

MINDEE...you know, I saw some tops in the maternity section that were cute and was tempted to try one, lol. They are basically the same style of shirts that I like that make me look preggers anyway so why not, lol. I didn't though. I checked out your page earlier and am thinking you are talking about the mom of 2 handsome boys and daughter...that is cute! And I finally remembered to check out the pics! I agree...you have LOTS of albums/pictures! I thought I took a lot but I think you beat me there.

I better get going...have loads of reading I want to do. Oh, Susan, let me know about Moma Mia if you see it...if I lived close I would go with you. But I understand...I hate to see certain movies with V because I feel like he won't enjoy them like I know me and DD would. That is one reason DD and I go so much.

Enjoy your weekend ladies!

Oh Cristina...I totally know what you mean about V looking at you like you are weirdos. My DH always looks that way when my kids are around because we all "act up." LOL
We learned early on not to pull practical jokes on him. He gets mad and we are rolling on the floor. :)

Okay...off to see if it is cool enough to ride the bike.

Hi girls!!! Man this week has been insane. Andrew should be comming home tomarrow. I thought it would be today but ohwell. Yesterday was our one year anniversary. It was really just another day since he wasnt even here. Thats ok. I probably wont get my dress because I have a week and 1/2 to loose 8 lbs. I am looking so great though. I am still really pumped. I am sorry this is so short but his week has been insane. Not in a good way either. I have however stuck with it all and am down to 169.5. That makes mee feel pretty good. I will try to do indys soon. I am so so tired though and there is a lot to do before Andrew gets here. YAY!!!

Got my 2 miles biking again. Boy, was it hot and humid. More of the same weather for the week...ugh. Oh well, sweat it off if nothing else.

Asia- Yay on Andrew coming home. You are doing great with the loss.

Hi to all.

doing my nightly pop in.....

we got a lot of cleaning done yesterday, now we just need to clean up our bedroom closet and the basement, and then our list is done. we have a couple of things listed on craigslist so we are hoping that those go well.

SuzieQ~ I found that layout while looking for a new one, I didn't make it. I was looking for a new layout and the pregnancy/parenting section caught my eye, and so I figured that I would look and see what they had to offer. they have the lights off because of the fish flies....which should be gone soon. then they will turn the lights back on. I actually just borrowed that book from my mom! I have read some of it, but to me, it didn't keep me drawn into it like I was hoping it would have.

Cristina~ I have one wrap top that I love.....BUT I have to mold the shape into something it is not just to make it look good. Again, another maternity shirt........so I am hoping that I can get some shirts that are NOT maternity shirts, and that I can be very comfortable in wearing. I love taking pictures, what can I say!

Sue~ You are doing great with all your walking and riding!

Asia~ YAY on Andrew coming home! I agree,....you are doing great on your loss!

It's 4:36am..and I'm awake. :mad: Me & Fonzo both are awake right now, so go figure, lol.


Asia~YAY for Andrew coming home..and Happy 1 year Anniversary!!

I'm back!

It was a great class...and everyone survived me being gone for a week. It's good to be home...hope to catchup some over the next few days.

Good Morning -

Jules - come chat!! Missing you. :)

Mindee- you're still creative! I don't like my page. :)

Katy - Yay. you're back! I am glad you had a great time, look forward to hearing about it :)

Asia - :bravo: on the 169.5!

Cristina - Thanks, you are always being supportive, appreciate it a lot :) I think you can pass on jury duty for a year. I a not sure what I am going to do, probably a good thing just to get it over with. McD and I saw Mamma Mia, and we both liked it. I was kind of not wanting to go w/ him for that reason but I was surprised. lol I love Meryl Streep, I would go back and watch a second time just for her. And Pierce Bronson is dreamy, though he his singing was a tad brutal to listen to. lol....he is a handsome guy,who cares.

Hi to everyone else!

Ate 2 pancakes and 1/2 a veggie omelet for dinner last night. I was hungry for breakfast food so we went to this place called Bannings. Pancakes were so good, I should have just had those...I left one on the plate, so I had some control. lol Just had blueberry yogurt and a banana for breakfast, going to try and lay off carbs this week and see if that helps.

anyway - better get!

doing my daily pop in......

we were supposed to have gone to our nephews birthday party today......but with money being tight and such, we just decided to stay home. Marissa and Logan are laying down, Tommy is sleeping on the couch, and Brandon is picking out what he wants me to make as far as goodies wise.

I am doing good I am up to 229.0 this morning, but you gotta love the baggage that AF brings with her! I am just happy that it isn't any more then that! I have been logging my food since Friday, and I have really changed my eating A LOT! Friday, I was within all the ranges, just above in carbs and low in protein. Yesterday, I was again within all the ranges, just below by one point in the protein area! And that was great for eating pizza last night....oh and a little bit of ice cream too.

Francie~ I hope you guys were able to go back to sleep!

Katy~ It is good to hear from you!

SuzieQ~ I love my page now.......I don't think I am ever going to change the layout.....I might add some other things here and there, but that will be it. Good luck with laying off the carbs.....they seem to be my downfall.....but I am getting better about them!

Hi All
 

I am heading to get my baby((Gaby)) to bed, wanted to say night first!

Sassy- If you drink the Mt Dew in cans , maybe just wean yourself off one can a week or something?? You don't have to do it all at once.

Mindee- TOM is miserable, munchies and everything, hang in there!

I thought ((or think)) I did good in my eating today, I had a tuna salad for lunch and fish & veggies for dinner. I really , really am going to try and get out of these 150's by Friday. Cross fingers.

Going to enjoy Gab this week with the zoo and a trip to the coast, next week she will do a day camp part time so I can look for work.

anywho....chat tomorrow!

Hey Suzy Q -- I drink 20 oz. bottles, I usually only drink 1 of those all night at work, and I work 12.5 hrs. I don't think that is too awful. But still wanna quit.

doing my nightly pop in....

we took the kids for our nightly walk after dinner tonight.....they enjoyed it, and of course there were more boats out in the water tonight then the other night. the swan family was back again tonight, so the kids liked seeing them again.

we talked more about my birthday party. we brought up the idea of having everybody meet us at our place, and then we will walk over to the park and have my party there. Tommy also mentioned about getting me an Oreo pie from a local pie place, if we have the money. I really don't want it.....so I am going to push more for the strawberry shortcake idea. (made with fresh strawberries and Angel Food Cake)

Hey ladies!!!! I just got back from spending time with Andrew. I didnt realize how much I missed him. We had fun. He is taking me hiking Tuesday and we get to have camp fire food. We are going to the camp that he worked at the first part of summer. I get to meet ranger Will. He runs the camp. He has never met me so I am excited. Its a special kind of occasion so he is making us steaks. I am so excited. The first camp is only like 45 min away. We will leave early Tuesday morning and come back that night. I cant wait!!!! I am gonna start with weekly weigh ins I think. I might do them on Mondays. Maybe I will only weigh twice a week. I could do like Mondays and Thursdays. I think that could work. I really want to start documenting that stuff. Anyways on to indys.....

Sue- good job on the 2 mile bike ride. That would be so hard for me.

Mindee- good deal on the cleaning!!!! I need to get some done bad. This week is Vacation Bible school at our church and I am doing the music. That means work during the day and I have to be at the church at night. Cleaning def not happening this week. WTG on the eating too. I hate AF especially after this last time. I LOVE THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE IDEA!!! That is so neat. I think I might do that for my birthday. YUM!!

Well good night ladies. This week will be busier than last week but I think it will be less stressful and not as crazy. We shall see!!!

Sassy- I hope Dh job search goes well. Its never fun to search for jobs. Also wtg on keeping up the good work!!!! I cant give up sodas either. I like diet pepsi way too much. I really need to work on that.
Francie- Thanks for the one year anniversary congrats. We are gonna celebrate it Sunday. I am really excited. We are gonna go eat and to the movies. We might make smores. And maybe a late night swim. I am so excited. I got him the best present.

Susan- Some control is better than no control. Today was my cheat day and I am already feeling it. Yuck. It was so good but I dont know why I did that to my self. ARG!!! WTG on your eating yesterday too!!!

Asia~ you are doing great with your weight loss! you are almost at your goal already! I got that idea from another group I am in.....it was what her daughter wanted for her birthday. I like it since, I am not really a cake or pie person. besides..if there is anything left over, I don't want to feel guilty for eating it when I know that it will be very healthy!

Looks like I didn't post my 2 miles ride last night. Only a 1.5 walk though....I need to up that tremendously. I just prefer a bike ride anymore. Mindee and Cristina already left me in the dust, so I am just ambling along here. :)

Weigh-in...Yes, I was finally down . After going all the way back up to 180-181 I am at 174 this week. I am ashamed to say I went so far UP....but it is slowly going the other way. Heck, never thought I would be happy to say I want to see 170. I was stuck there for-ever!! Shooting for 164 now. :)

Hi everyone...I am busy on the house today...check back later.

Afternoon Chicks!
 

Hello ladies...

I am feeling sleepy ZZzzz....got up too early after sleeping in later yesterday. it definitely doesn't pay for me to sleep in. Had to get up early to get my walk in and at 5:45 this morning it was already 79 degrees. Doesn't sound so bad but once you get to walking it gets to be a little icky after the first 15 minutes or so. Had some errands to run and getting some laundry done and computer time in. I did get my exercise done except for a 15 minute walk on the treadmill...will finish that in a few minutes. Just trying to rest my weary bones, lol. Going to Charlotte's later to weed eat her yard. I am doing good with the food so far :crossed: Had cereal for breakfast but didn't have any bananas :( I do now :) Having a chicken salad for lunch in about 30 minutes, then will have a granola bar for a snack about 3'ish. I'm thinking dinner is going to be a subway sandwich since we will be gone for a while...it will be too late to cook when we get home, darn I wish she lived closer. Anyway...

SUSAN...glad you guys liked the movie. I will keep my fingers crossed for you to be in the 140's Friday :crossed: You are doing great and I just know you will!

SUE...V is like that too! Lol WTG on the miles! :carrot: I thought of you this morning. The sun wasn't even up yet and this couple went zooming by me on their bikes. WTG also on the 170! :woohoo:

ASIA...HAPPY belated ANNIVERSARY! Glad Andrew is back and you guys are enjoying each others company. You are doing great with your weight loss too! :carrot:

KATY...glad to you ya back, and glad you had a nice time. Like Susan, I can't wait to hear about it too!

MINDEE...man woman, you are adding up those miles! Doing great for sure!:carrot:

SASSY...do they have diet mountain dew? I know it's not the best either but at least it would be less calories, a lot less. Wishing your DH lots of luck in finding a job.

HIYA JULES & TAMMY...hoping all is well with you ladies.

Well, ladies, guess I am going to go do that 15 mns on the treadmill and get some lunch. I'll be back to post my total for the day after the walk.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Lost the post! And it was really inspiring too.....*snicker*....lol

Off to take Gabster swimming. Wishing you all a good day. bbl

doing my daily pop in....

and early night for all of us tonight...no body took naps today! we will find out here shortly if we can have a garage sale or not. three other people in here want to have one so I am hoping that we can do it!

the boys are sitting on their bikes watching Little Einsteins and Marissa is sitting here next to me in the high chair eating some mashed potatoes from last night.

I got my walk in with Leslie this morning.....now I am hoping to keep it up from here on out. I am going to get into the habit of walking with her in the morning and then taking the walks after dinner with the family.

HIYA MINDEE & SUSAN :wave:

And FRANCIE...I knew I forgot someone in my last post and realized it once I signed off. Hoping all is well with you missy and you and Fonzo got some sleep!

SUSAN...sorry you lost your post. I hate when that happens.

Back again for just a few minutes to record my miles. Have a wonderful day everyone! :hug:

***i Have Exciting News!!!!!!***
 

WE GOT THE APARTMENT IN MARYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! :carrot::carrot::carrot: We wont be homeless when we get there, lol!!! I'm so excited.

that is great news Francie!!!!!! do you have a link online that we can see what it looks like?

Yes, I do...heres the link:

http://www.move.com/apartments/listi...?source=a16093

I am starving, I have to go eat something before I compose a post. :dizzy:

Beautiful apartment complex Francie! I notice the brick, it was the same in Arkansas, just a lot of brick back east?? lol Ok, that sounds dumb but there is hardley any brick out here in Oregon. We have lumber. :carrot: neener, neener......

Ignore me, I just spent 3 hours out in the sun watching Gab swim, think I have heat stroke! lol

bbl after I get my children dinner. :)

Back for another second, having Gaby all day sure keeps me hopping!

Mindee- I like the idea of strawberry shortcake, especially durig the summer months and it is much more *calorie friendly*. Who is Leslie?? Did I read too fast, can't see a mention of that name before, sorry.....

Francie - Very happy that the housing (????) is solved for you guys, I bet that is a huge relief! :)

Asia - mmm, s'mores sound good. Your Tuesday outing sounds like a lot of fun.

Sue - :hug: I hope you aren't too serious about feeling ashamed about the weight. I kind of crept up to 206 without saying anything til I could get it back down to 196. It is just kind of scary when it goes back up and you wonder why the weight thing is so hard. Like ....can we ever not have a weight problem?? :) Anyway, :bravo: on the weight loss!

Cristina - I had a dream about you last night! I was traveling in my trailor ((only in the dream, I really don't have one - lol)) and I parked in your yard and hooked up for water and electricity, planning to stay for awhile, I guess. You had these huge dogs running around and you spent the whole dream looking at the food I had in the cupboards...lol, finally your husband unhooked my trailor and moved me across the yard....and now there was a lot of trailors in your yard...and my chicken started to defrost because I had no eletricity...and I was thinking about cooking up the whole bag so it wouldn't go to waste. That is when I woke up, thank goodness. lol
anyway - sweet that you are helping Char w/ her weeding! Hope you get some rest tonight.

I guess I better get to bed early, tired this evening. Gab and I both are a little red from being outside for 3 hours.
I did good on eating. I had (2) 100 calorie yogurts during the day, 1 med banana, a tuna salad and I think the calories for that was like 300, and a chicken salad.....and we will say 500 for that .....so, what....1300 for the day?? Close, and a lot of it was veggies....so, I won't worry about that. Plus I did so-so on water w/ 60 oz's....bleh....

k- that is all. :wave: to everyone!

Sue- good luck on your 164. I have a mini goal of 165. I really want to make it to 165.

Sassy- Funny story to tell you. So today I was picking up my lunch after work today at the store. I want a soda but I didnt want diet pepsi. SO I had a a diet mountain dew. It was so so good. I can see why you are having a hard time giving them up. I just thought of you when I drank it and it made me chuckle.

Cristina- I coulnt imagine it being 79 degrees that early in the morning. We have really hot days but pretty cool nights. I would hate to walk in that.

Mindee- I like your walk idea. I think its good.

Francie- WTG on your apt!!! I looks good.

K so I am off to bed. I woke up this morning and I was an even 169. I am pleased with that. I am really excited about my hike tomaroow. I am gonna wake up super early to do my tae bo and then I will meet Anfrew and we will drive to the camp. We have to unload some stuff then we will go on the hike. I will have soup for lunch and then STEAK for supper. I love steaks. I am realyl excited. Wish me luck. I just want to make it back and still be able to move. We shall see.
