Kathy--hey there....you popped in on me. Don't bother editing out food porn...I watch Guy's DIners, Drive-ins and Dive and other shows on the Food Channel and Hubby like those Travel Channel shows where they have the biggest burger, omelet etc.... food porn at it's finest. Ry will be 24 on April 1 (right before Francie's bday!!) and Teri turns 22 on June 20th. Ry is a strange combination of laid back and bouncing off the wall energy. Ry did really great in Social Studies, Art, any science class that had to do with nature, any English class that involved reading or creative writing, was runner up in a Geography Bee that went to state finals, wood shop and any basically any class he loved the teacher. He despised Math, that was definitely the worst subject for him but the best for Teri--she despised history and social studies. The kids and I love the Simpsons--I remember their start on the Tracey Ullman show--hubby not so much--he will watch it now and then.
Susan...you definitely are NOT a downer! I do do a lot for Cambrie...just trying to help them out. Just glad she took a liking to us and us to her, and Chase of course. And her daycare provider was being crappy to her because they put her in preschool...she didn't like that for some reason and started treating her different. Hope you get some rest/sleep!
Kathy...I want to see that picture of your momma! One day I will get a Wii, maybe. DD isn't working right now, she was working as a receptionist and is thinking about going back to school...just not sure for what. I too think the wrong person went home on the grey team and laughed when Bob tore into her!!! It stopped her didn't it?! on your NSV! Proud of you!
Jules...funny, I had to almost force the kids to eat veggies, lol...they hated them and still do, for the most part, except the oldest...he'll eat just about anything. The other two are still picky. But it cracks me up that Chase and Cambrie will eat salad and just about any veggie...they love them!
Katy...glad the bleeding and cramping has stopped and hope you get some sleep! Sorry you have to wait for the test results...waiting totally sucks! Hope little Leigh enjoyed her tap!
Hiya to everyone else
Just thought I would get on for a few minutes. The hubby wanted to watch a game on the big tv so I am down in the basement. Me and daughter are watching Some Like It Hot...she loves the old movies. Okay, she is mostly watching because I'm on this thing, lol...but I can see and hear it. I did get 4 miles in after all. Wasn't going to do any exercise because I just feel tired but I did it anyway.
No special plans for tomorrow. Picking up Cambrie and working with her, then have to run to the post office and bank and that's about it for the day. Hoping it will be a little warm so we can go out, wishful thinking I think.
I almost forgot...didn't want to take away from Tammy's great news...I am going to be a grandma to and again!!!
Okay, I am outta here...take care ladies. Nighty, night!
Hey ladies. I am here for indys. Its been a while since i have done those. I had a very good day. I ate ground up turkey with beans. Its a lot like chili but it isnt. I had a double fiber English muffin with it. I had a few bites of dark chocolate and an orange and a half. I had a chicken salad sandwich with a few bites of fruit and a few bites of frozen yogurt. I also walked for over and hour. I went for a half hour walk with Andrew and then I walked each dog ( I have 3) which took me 40 min. It was a very good day. anyways moving on....
Kathy- It is very nice to meet you!!! I look forward to getting to know you better. I was doing no high fructose corn syrup. I am still doing that but just with high fiber. Basically more natural.
ASIA...what kind of beans did you have with the turkey? Me and DD tried some turkey patties once and they were gross! What is in your chicken salad...always looking for good recipes.
Just checking in before starting the day. Getting ready to head out in the snow, ugh! and run some errands. It is so freakin cold outside. I think we are only supposed to get about 2 inches of snow...hoping that's all. The drive wasn't bad this morning at all...just your usual stupid drivers! Ummm...why is it the streets are icy and snow covered and these dumba$$e$ in their stupid gas guzzling SUV's drive faster?! WTH?! Seriously...these two ating like they were racing, geez. Do it away from me stupids! My rant for the day, lol.
Anyway...better get going and get things done so I can get back and get some breakfast...a little hungry and getting grumpy. I'll be back later to chat more.
Well to begin the day I have a confession. I ate an entire pizza myself. Not all at once, but I did eat it all by myself. I am so ashamed of myself. But I can say that I did "pay" dearly for it. I guess after eating so healthy and then eating this, my system definitely rejected it, to say it nicely.
So there is a lesson for myself. My body is telling me "hey stupid! I don't like the crap food! Get a clue!" So after I get done from here I am going to the WW's site and scoping it out.
Oh don't think I told you all that DH and I are going to see that house later on today. (the 1st one) So pls wish us lots of luck!!! I mean DH said that of course for some reason if we don't like this house or we don't get it, then we will keep looking, but oh I so hope it all works out! If it does OMG ya'all I think I will have to do a dance of joy!!!
Anywho don't wanna bore anybody here. I am reading an excellent book and almost finished with it. Infact I read for like 3 hours lastnight and didn't even realize it until I looked up at the clock! I love books like that, that you just get totally engrossed in!!
Well I am outta here for now, TTYL to give you the details about the house!!!
Tommy got a call this morning from the nurse at the out patient place....He has to be there at 6:30am, and his surgery is at 7:30am! So, we are now in the home stretch..he told me last night that he wanted to look online to see how they would perform the surgery. I said "no you are not because then you will back out." He said "no I won't I just want to see how they will do it"
Jules~ Thanks for the photo comment on Myspace. I was actually making strombolis that night. (just like pizza but rolled up instead of flat)
Kathy~ Logan is three years old. The window kits really work when they are put together right. And the kids don't poke holes in them, then they work fine.

Cristina - Congrats to you!! omg- I want a baby in the house!!! I am so excited for your family. Enjoy the day w/ Cambrie Thanks for the myspace comments!
ugh, I drank way too much coffee.....but if I get off the computer (at the library) I can't get back on. So, no one wants to comment on taking a carving knife to all the flab?? I am SURE it would be at least 10 pounds, therefore I am already at goal. haha
Katy - Tap dance sounds way cute! I am glad to hear the cramping and such have stopped. Keep Beck in your thoughts she has been having TOM almost every week. The doctor put her on birth control a few weeks back and it helped for a bit.
Sassy - How fun, looking at houses! btw - what book are you reading??
Kathy - oh ya....no water, no deal. lol Good for you on the NSV!! I probably have watched Momma's Boy or maybe there has been another show like it with a different title?? Would love to see a pic of your mom!
Jules- lol ok, I will keep your vast property in mind.....R is doing great. We chatted last night for 2 hours. He gardens and has been biking/walking a lot. He hopes to go back to work in 2/3 months. Thanks for the myspace comments too, that was sweet of you. It sounds like you have a really nice mom.
Hi to Mindee and Asia....and everyone else!!
I am about to BURST!! Better get and I have to get to work in 15 minutes!!!
SuzieQ~ I have told Tommy plenty of times that I wanted to take a knife to my flab to cut it off. Then the kids got into this thing where they think massaging the flab it will go away.
Yesterday's carbs were 120, so I need to do a bit better. I'm glad that it seems to be easier to stay under 125...now I just need to get them under 100. That was my challenge, right? I need to kick myself in the butt a little....
I'm procrastinating big time...need to update my resume for a number of reasons - grad school application, scholarship applications...really need to get moving on it, but it also kind of freaks me out - I haven't updated it in 12 years! Just need to get over that.
Cristina - congrats..when will the newest gk make his/her debut? I'm like Susan - I would love to have a baby around, just don't want to conceive, give birth to, or raise another one, lol! Well, the conception part could be kind of fun I guess I just want to play with them then send them home...
Susan- Poor Beck...I know how she feels. The doc said bc pills could be an option for me, but I really don't want to take them...I don't think my body likes them very much based on an experience 20-some years ago.
Mindee - is today Tommy's surgery? Hope all goes well ( I'm sure it will) he's going to feel so much better!
Sassy- btdt( withe pizza thing) I'm embarrassed to admit it, but there you go. You are not alone...we are here to cheer you on and that pizza is gone and you know it will not have any company...good luck with the house visit.
Kathy - yes, James is a strong student. Was reading by age 4, reading Harry Potter in first grade...all without being pushed. So his personality definitely has its benefits and challenges. He tends to be tightly wound and can blow things out of proportion...tho' this has improved as he has matured.
Jules - your mom sounds like a wonderful woman, I sure hope you get some good news soon. Waiting sucks.
Asia - your turkey and beans sounds good. I'm also cutting sugar and trying to increase my fiber. I am practically growing veggies out my ears, lol!
Tammy - Hi! Is your asthma lightening up..hope so
Sue - How are you today?
Hope I didn't miss anyone - if I did , well, HELLO!
I have a pretty low key day today. Other than staring at my antiquated resume, I do have NP/AP today. Maybe my NP will have some wisdom for me. She really pushes natural progesterone, but I wonder if it could be hurting more than helping. I want to tell her I'm stopping them until my followup with my OB/GYN...and I'm kind of nervous about that - I don't know why...maybe because she's so sure they are a good thing. and I'm not. We'll see..her diet and vitamin recommendations have been excellent and she's a great acupuncturist, so I will get alot out of the visits regardless.
Remember the other day when they fixed the window? Well, they used a combination of silicon AND caulk to seal the window, knowing full well that they WOUDN'T bond to each other! They put plastic over the window and went about their day. Today Logan got the plastic off because there were a couple of holes in it, so we took it down since it wasn't working anyways. So, I called the office to have her send someone over to fix it, and she says to me "keep them away from the window" how in the h@#$ are you supposed to keep three inquisitive children away from the window?
Then she called me back when the guys came back and said that they wanted to know how he got to the silicon. So, I told her and I could hear the one guy (who is our friend) say that he put plastic on it to keep them out of it. She said "well, if they put plastic on it, then how did they get to it?" I said "there was a loose corner and they pulled it back." She then said some comment about along the lines of "well, there ya go" and I said "well, then you know what, forget it and we will leave the window the way it is" and hung up.
I told Tommy what she said and he got on the phone and called her back....he went back and forth with her. He bet her $100 that she couldn't take care of Logan for the day, her response to Tommy was "whatever." Then the head maintenance guy wanted Tommy to walk over to the office to show them what we wanted them to seal it with. Tommy said "screw that, I will go buy my own stuff and fix it myself" and then hung up.
Hi everyone!!! Sorry that I've been MIA lately. Things have been a bit off. I guess they're sorta better now.
I did get some exciting news today!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you didnt see my status on myspace, then well, go look and I'll repeat it here!!! I FINALLY GOT MY REFERRAL TO SEE A FERTILITY SPECIALIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm gonna make a appt tomorrow!! I'm sooooooooo glad that I dont have to go to the Army base to see a specialist there, lol.
However..I do have to go back to my other doc tomorrow to get some more blood work done. I'm really worried now. The nurse on the phone said it was nothing serious, but who knows, right?
Well...I hope everyone is doing good. I'll get caught up on everything tonight!!
FRANCIE...yay! It's about time missy. Wishing you lots of luck and hoping this is the year you get to be a momma!
MINDEE...thinking of you guys as Tommy heads for surgery tomorrow morning.
KATY...not sure about the baby...I thought she said Sept. She just did a test at hom and hasn't gone to the doc yet. I think it's a little early to tell people but it's their business. I am the same...I'll spoil the baby, have fun with it and then send it home, lol. Glad you are feeling better. Is the hubby excited yet?
SUSAN...you crack me up, lol. You're welcome for the comments! Well, I didn't say anything about the knife/flab because I don't believe it, lol! You look too good as is. But...I wish it were like that and I could take a knife to all the flab on my body, now talk about some icky flab! Sorry to hear about Beck, poor girl...that would be terrible. I couldn't deal with one TOM a month and I feel for anyone who has one often. My mother had a never ending one...6 weeks straight before they did a hysterectomy-she was 40. Glad to hear R is better...I wondered about him.
SASSY...hugs to you. Lots of luck for the house!
ASIA...how is your day going?
TAMMY...hoping you are feeling better.
JULES...thinking about you today, hope you are not worrying too much. I know that is easier said than done. Lots of hugs to you missy
SUE...hoping it is nice and warm in Vegas! Wishing I was anywhere but here today...so freaking cold! Of course I am mad at DS#1...he decided to take a little vaca to Florida...went to the Keys and then Miami...it was a cold 68 there today, lol...I'f take anything but the -8 we had. Be safe and enjoy.
KATHY...how are you doing with your walking today? How's the little guy doing?
Okay, I believe I got everyone...losing my mind...so much going on and I am so frustrated with life in general, ugh. I definitely want to run away!!! To top it off V was headed to Lowes and couldn't get out of the subdivision. There were cop cars everywhere and they made him go around thru the other subdivision. He thought it was a wreck but on the radio they said there was a shooting...wtf?! Good thing we are moving. Anyway...not exactly sure what happened but on the news they said there was a police chase and someone was shot, ugh! Anyway...
I did manage to get 45 minutes of exercise done and the plan is to do another 30, most likely after dinner and call it good. I am just a grumpy gus today.
Hey ladies!!! I am just jumping on here for a quick hello. I will do indys later. Today has gone well. I ate more beans and meat and I had my muffin agian. I had an orange and some cheese and crackers. It was just a laughing cow wedge. I am gonna sin alittle in my eating. I am going to bonless wing thursdays at buffalo wild wings with Andrew. I will have some wings. I am not gonna deny my self my wants. I am just going to fufill them in moderation. I did a workout dvd and it kicked my but. I will just take a really big walk tomarow. Anyways I will be back for indys later. BYE!!!!
dropping back in to pass some time.....Tommy is laying on the couch watching some tv, the boys are knocked out and Marissa is talking and playing in her bed when she is supposed to be sleeping.
thanks for the good luck with his surgery in the morning. we will all make it through some how.
Francie~ That is so exciting about your referral!!!!!!
Cristina~ Gotta love those neighborhood cop visits! we used to get them in here daily..........now they patrol occasionally. although this week already, the cops had three cops cars in here on two separate days for two separate things! no shootings though, thank goodness!
Asia~ It is so good to hear from you! I am the same way, I will not deny myself but I will indulge in moderation only.
on your NSV! Proud of you! 
Not all at once, but I did eat it all by myself. I am so ashamed of myself. But I can say that I did "pay" dearly for it. I guess after eating so healthy and then eating this, my system definitely rejected it, to say it nicely. 
I mean DH said that of course for some reason if we don't like this house or we don't get it, then we will keep looking, but oh I so hope it all works out! If it does OMG ya'all I think I will have to do a dance 
of joy!!! 
I love books like that, that you just get totally engrossed in!! 
Thanks for the myspace comments!
