Hi all
Kathy- added you on MS...have to say I am not over there very much, I find facebook easier to deal with. I can't stand waiting for people's pages to load...
Sassy- Hi gal LazyMan is doing everything one would do in an Iron man Triathlon, only doing it over the course of a month. I read about it on a message board where they were calling it an IronWeasel, but I think they just made up that word for that group. LazyMan seems to be used more generally.
Jules - big hugs..hope you are feeling better!
Sue - congrats on the new member of your family! Hope you got some good news from the doc today.
HI to everyone else! I just made some turkey chili...only it's more like a stew because I realized too late that I didn't have any chili powder. I put in some cumin and will put in a little hot chili garlic sauce and call it my own invention - tastes pretty good! Especially with corn muffins - yum!. I rode 10 miles today at the gym. Tomorrow I swim! I had forgotten how much I loved to swim...my cardio is back up to a place where I can swim more than 5 laps without huffing and puffing, so I am calling it my NSV for the day
Well here I am at work...........all alone. Sniff, sniff. Don't you all feel sorry for me? My coworker took tonight off to get some Zzzzz's so she is fresh and rested for her class tomorrow night. So its just me and The Cullens and Bella tonight. hee hee hee.
Mindee -- Hey GF! Glad that Tommy got off for the Memorial Service. I hope that it doesn't rain either.........
Cristina -- Yes I am really enjoying reading the Twilight Books. They just totally engross me into the Twilight World. lol. I am hoping to get a lot accomplished with the house on my days off. Our goal is to have everything done in time for my mom to come up. Once we are all done, I'll take "after" pictures so you can all see what the house looks like with our things in it, etc.
Kathy -- Sorry to hear that Cody is sick. I hope he feels better. I was thinking of another Irish Band, the Dropkick Murphy's?? I like their song, "Shipping to Boston" The books are SO much better than the movie, in my humble opinion. But I did the same, watched the movie first. When I first watched it, I honestly didn't like it all that much. After I read the 1st book, I re-watched the movie and then it made more sense to me and I enjoyed it a lot more. So if you do watch it first, you'll have to rewatch it after you read the book for sure! I'm on the last book. I'm sad about it. I know I just start all over again...........but just is sad. lol. I think I'll read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown next before the movie comes out. I read the DaVinci Code, I just never got to Angels and Demons. Then after that I want to reread "The Half Blood Prince" before the new Harry Potter movie comes out in July.Then after that, I dunno what I'll read. lol. Any suggestions anybody?? lol.
Katy -- Oh ok. Thanks for explaining. That is great that your doing it and I agree with everybody else here, def should not be called the lazyman! WTG on the 10 miles!!!
Hi to everybody out there in "Lurk" mode. I hope you all are doing well!!!
well, I got tired of the dresser sitting in our dining room waiting for Tommy to move it to our room for Marissa, pull out her dresser and bring it into the dining room for the boys', and then taking the boys' old dresser out to the dumpster. SOOOOOOO.......I moved them around and had our friend that works here come and move the boys' old dresser for me. I was going to help him move it, but he was trying to decide if he wanted to take it for storing things in his garage....so he got it at least to the porch. Then he decided that he didn't want it anymore, so when Tommy gets home tonight, he is going to take it to the dumpster. I also went through Marissa's clothes and got rid of about 7 pairs of shoes that are too small for her. I had one big box and about half of a garbage bag to take to the laundry room for someone to take. Then I cleaned the cat litter, emptied the dishwasher, filled the dishwasher, and I think that was it!
Then when I got Brandon off the bus, we went outside to play and then went to the playground with the neighbor around the corner! Needless to say, I am beyond tired! I just painted my nails a nice springy light purple. And I am contemplating what I am going to wear tomorrow! I still haven't seen the weather for tomorrow, but I just heard that it is going to be warm and a slight chance of rain....I flipped on the early news right now.....but I am still going to check out the website here in a second. (I would wait for the 11 o'clock news, BUT the Wings are playing tonight and ones the puck drops, I don't change the channel!!)
nope......Tommy has lodge on Tuesday nights, so we usually don't get a walk in on those nights. but had she not fallen asleep already, I was already foreseeing us having to take a walk when he got home! but thankfully she is asleep already.
just thought that I would post to Sassy really quickly!
I read Angels & Demons a couple of months ago, and I loved it! I hope you like it too!
And for the record......I am going to be borrowing my sister Megan's copies of the Twilight books.
Yeah I heard it was a good book. I dunno why I never read it before........weird. Oh well better late than never right? lol. Oh cool so you can join Francie and me in the "Twilight World" lol.
Sounds like you were very busy. I got all my stuff done, cleaning wise at least done yesterday morning when I came home from work. So now all I have to do is get my office finished!! Yee-Haw! lol.
I'm having a panic attack right now. I took a Xanax not too long ago..and I'm waiting for it to kick in. Ughhh.........I wish it would kick in FASTER!!!!! I cant take this. It's back to happening every single night now!!!
KATHY...not sure why it is saying that, I had added some pix a few days ago and while I don't have all the pictures public, I do have about 3 or 4 albums for friends only. Usually just make them private, for me only since no one looks at them, or I think they don't I'll check it, was just there but forget to check that. Hope Cody is feeling better today. When does your MIL come? I forgot
FRANCIE...I am sorry you are having the attacks, I know it sucks. Hope the meds kicked in and you are feeling better.
MINDEE...hugs to you today.
SASSY...if I can ever get back into a reading mode, I will, maybe, try the Twilight books...have so many waiting to be read here, not sure. My goal was to NOT buy any new books until I have read the ones I have and it is quite a few. So we will see how that goes, lol. Bet your house is looking nice!
Sassy~My faves are Jasper & Emmett. Jasper has a very interesting back story, and I love his power. And Emmett is just funny!! I love Alice too. I love her power too. Alice is someone I can see being friends with. I honestly just feel bad for Rosalie. I still kinda dont like her in Breaking Dawn. Although, what she does to Jacob is soooooooooo funny!!! LoL!!!
It is nice to see you back Jules, sorry you were in the dumps. Hope you are feeling better!
And you do have a beautiful great grandson Sue, I am jealous. I want a baby to hold.
to Cristina, Katy, Kathy, Mindee, Sassy, Francie hope the panic attack is over, sorry you suffer w/ that, Tammy and ......, am I leaving someone out?? Sorry.
I have this deep depression going on for the last 2 days. Yesterday I just was trying to get thru the day and kept telling myself tomorrow will be better. Haven't felt this low since living in Portland.Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I am down to 143, probably because I don't want to eat. Fancy that. lol
and a lady next to me stinks with smoke smell so I can't sit here for long. It is bothering me.
Susan--was eating beets last night...I always think of you when I have them...sorry you are depressed to...i am beginning to wonder if it premenopausal crap...then I remember that sometimes life just throws to much at you at once. It started with my Dad calling...he thinks me and my brother are getting a huge inheritance from her if she dies...all he cares about is money..it's like he is hoping she dies..he said a bunch of stuff and made me remember why we don't talk. I just can't believe him...sober for over 30 years, but has never changed the way he treats people. I did finally say some things that were bothering me about our relationship that pissed him off even though he admitted I was right....
Francie--I fell in love with the vampire character Jean-Claude in the beginning of the Anita Blake vampire series...then Laurell Hamilton just went too way out and ruined it. No more panic attacks missy....
Sassy--I had a few dreams about Jean-Claude...glad your house is gettting organized--sorry your coworker is having issues..can't understand why people you think are your friends can act so differnet for no reason you can think of..
Mindee--Teri gave a bunch of Dominic's ol stuff to her friend Jamie--she has twin boys. How's the WII thing going? Gosh I don't know how you do it with three..we have Dominic every weekend and sometimes I feel like I can't get anything done at all...
Katy--I am the opposite of you...facebook takes forever to load and myspace comes right up...one of my old classmates ran a half marathon last Sunday..I'd like to try one...maybe just a 5K...I definitely have to get in better shape--it would be embarrasing to pass out and have someone trip over you...
Kathy--the Celtic Thunder sounds pretty neat...I see we found each other on Myspace. Have fun with the MIL
Cristina--sounds like you have been busy with the kids..I have read a few random books..haven't been able to find any that I can say I really love...
Sue--hope all is well with you and your Mom..
sorry to cut this short--hubby wants to use the computer...
well, yesterday went well....my mom called first thing in the morning and told me that her blood pressure was through the roof and so she wasn't coming down for my grandma's service.
we got to the church just as they were starting the music for the program.....better late than never, right? my sister Katy told us to sit with my dad since he was down here by himself. Logan sat next to my dad and my dad kept him in line while we were there. Brandon sat next to me and Marissa kept climbing up and down off my lap. But they were well behaved for the most part! then we had a little luncheon after it all.
we then came home and Tommy got some things done for our neighbor, and I went into the basement and pulled out the toys and clothes for the kids. I am going to go through it all on Thursday. Brandon is going to the zoo with my MIL and his class.....so it will be an early morning around here!
which is why I should head to bed, but I just wanted to pop in before heading there!
Well, it has been a productive morning in spite of feeling nauseated. (story of my life) I finished DGGS's blanket early today. Now have a cake in the oven and green beans and ham on cooking. As soon as the cake is finished baking I am going out to plant flowers in my boxes. DH has mulched and is getting ready to mow. We are both happy to have our Spring chores finished.
"Baby boy" will arrive later today. (he is in the state, but stayed with a friend by the airport last night. His other friend is arriving from TX later and they decided to save an extra trip to Indy) He sure sounded glad to be here.
Nothing going on healthwise for me or mom. Both still fighting the same maladies. I go get a steroid shot in two weeks. Don't know if it will help,but at least they are finally trying and ruling out problems. Mom goes to her pain Dr. Mon. so maybe we will both be tip top before long. Ever the optimist today.
Mindee- Glad the service went well.
Susan and Jules- Sorry you are down in the dumps. I have been there and it is no fun...kind of stinky down there, huh? Feel better fast ladies.
Katy- You are doing great with your challenge. The swimming part would get me...don't think my floppy dog paddle would get me far. LOL
Cristina- Good luck on getting back to exercising. I don't know if I am ever going to make it back...
Sassy and Francie- Those books have not caught my interest. DD keeps telling me I should try them. So far I am still stuck on Sue Grafton's series.
Kathy- Busy with graduation? My DGD and step DGD both graduate. Should be a busy week (end of the month)... Best to you!
Okay, I am sorry my comments are so brief. Gotta go check the cake.
Busy..busy..busy...haha
Jules- Life can be at times just hanging on. I hear you on that one. I have gone through tougher times though. I think if I just do more*self care* I will be ok, I forget to do that. to you.
Sue - How's baby Mason? Now baby boy is your son? I think that is it, have a great visit!
Cristina - Took some time to look at the zoo photo's on your myspace, very cute!
Katy - Turkey chili sounds yummy. I tried some navy beans soup yesterday at the local dive, they make really good soups.
k- that is as chatty as I am going to get today. lol sorry.
WI was 141 this morning. Gaby is being a pre teen, grounded her from sponge bob tonight. She has been working on her Feb. birthday invitations...it is kind of cute. Swimming was last night, and she is getting really good.
Hope to see my other babies this weekend,want to make it down to the Portland water front Sunday morning and watch Becky rowing.
