Cow's with insomnia
 

I'm an insomniac too. All the most creative ppl are, you know.

So far today-

Cream of wheat w/ skim milk 4pts.
banana 2 pts.
LC pizza again 7 pts.
2 Wendy's side salads, 1 pkt. of low fat ranch dressing 2pts.

only 10 pts. left for today. oh dear.

Did I tell you that DS had borrowed DH's truck, his truck he loves, and DS wrecked it? DS is ok, the truck is not. DH is doing soooo well, he didn't even lose his cool. He must be growing up.

Yikes, sorry to hear about the truck accident, Wab. I have found that when a loved one totals your vehicle, even though you'd like to strangle them, this is mitigated with the relief that they are all right. Of course with a husband doing it, like in my case, you can give him a hard time about it forever, which is helpful. In the case of a kid, I don't know about ribbing him. I totalled my parents' car when I was 16 and I have to say I was pretty traumatized -- I didn't think they'd ever let me drive again. Then they had the temerity to suggest I take a driving course, which pi**ed me off so much I got over it.

I have reached a new low, frustration-wise. Not worth recounting, but after DH and DD set off for the guitar-lesson-journey this afternoon, I popped open a beer and sat down in front of the computer. This is not like me -- I love to have a beer, but never by myself and rarely during the day. However, I feel much less like throwing things now and I think I will actually get up and make dinner and do useful stuff. Apparently when you have enough seething going on, it burns off the alcohol quickly. :lol:

Kiwi

Gosh, Kiwi, I'd never drink a beer alone. I prefer Mike's hard lemonade.;) I'm sorry you're seething. I've been doing way too much of that myself.

The truck accident was just one of those things - someone pulled out in front of DS, and he swerved to the left, the person in the lane to the left of him hit the driver's door of the truck. The fault is to be determined. He's just sore all over, but he was very lucky to have been in a big truck instead of a little car.

It is such a beautiful day out, it's making me crazy to be at work today.:dizzy:

Wabby, what a relief your DS is okay! I don't think I would ever let MY DS drive again!! But I know I have to. Sigh. Why do we have to let them grow up and drive?

I'll boringly recount points later tonight. Right now, I'm having cappuccino (4 points) and watching DS7 vacuum. They start off so cute, don't they?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry Wabby for missing your story about ds!!!!!!!!!!!! needless to say,i can imagine your relief!!! so far we have only had two 'accidents' by the dd's and both were not too serious,but we always imagine the worst for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad to hear he made out okay------------- xoxoxoxoxo :grouphug: :grouphug:

oH wABBY A harrowing experience. How did you find out...was it the dreaded phone call?
here 's what i ate:
brk- no time
lunch- couple bites of hoagie meat/ couple chips- 9
din- salad 6
turkey 4
spinach.sauce- 4
later- peanuts 4

grand total 28
I can live with that.

i'm so tired from being awake this morning.
bye

Even I, the mild-mannered Sugar who hasn't had a drink in about 100 years, would drink a Mike's Hard Lemonade! Yum!!

I'm having sort of a life crisis that I couldn't possible go into here, but it's getting better and sorting itself out. If it weren't for this d*amned insomnia, I'd be perfect

Yesterday I ate: some sort of granola, a few tortellinis, a teeny tiny piece of chocolate that I didn't even enjoy, low-fat colelslaw, mashed potatoes and a banana. It all looks so strange when you put it down in writing.

So glad to know that ds is ok, Wabby! Kids are allowed to drive at 18 here so I've got a few more years.

i'm wiped.
i'm having trouble with my mom's caregivers. i lost about $400. in checks from other play parents. my dd's knee looks like somebody took a baseball bat to it. all she cares about is that she hhas gained weight due to all of this forced inactivity, so she appears to have stopped eating any food that wasn't picked. dh is working round the clock either at work or here. the pool is about to open and, though i thought this was impossible, i'm even fatter than i was last year. and i'm going to be 49.

i've eaten a two point cheese stick so far today. you'd think i'd be thin already.

plus, i can't type with two hands anymore becarse my old arm can't take it.

there, those are all of my complaints for today. now i'm frree to feign concern for the trials of others.

just joking. if you look at the stress scale, buying a house is almost as stressful as the death of a loved one. it's so hard to get all od these inspecty people to be reasonable. have you asked this inspector guy what it would cost for him to
'see" your insulation. usually the payment of a fee is all that is necessary to improve the vision of these professional PITAs.

sugar, you poor thing. you have strife?

kiwi, i think packing makes it a drag to travel, too. plus you have all that work when you get there.

have a good day, everybody.

Wow. The herd is really having a hard time.

My neighbor's darling little dog that looked just like Toto was hit and killed by a car this morning. The ppl who had hit her had stopped and my poor neighbor was just walking and had just seen her little puppy. So sad. Their yard isn't fenced, but this dog never went out in the road, until now.

Peaches, buying a house is a crazy making experience, but it will be worth it in the end. Maybe you could call a insulation contractor and ask what it would take to verify the rating of the insulation. And if it needs more insulation who pays? the seller I hope.

Sugar, you know you can't say that and just leave us hanging here. Now I'm going to have insomnia just worrying about you. You're our ray of sunshine. :flow2:

Lush, 49 is good. If Oprah says 50 is the new 30, believe her. It won't hurt, even if it's bologna. Sorry your life is so stressful, sorry everybody's life is so stressful. We need a vacation. Let's all meet Kiwi in NC.

That's my fault. I'm a bad influence. I made the ranch dressing from the little packet, with mayo and 2% milk. So it must be low-fat, right? :rolleyes:

Did you know that Bali bras are made by Sara Lee? Do you think they bought the Bali company because it fit well with their cheesecake line? :lol:

I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's stress. Poor little puppy too.

DH just bought the hugest guitar amp. He says he got a good deal on it. When we were talking about the possibility last night, I told him he needed to get a job. I have to do this occasionally to keep him in check -- you'd think he'd be spending less money while he's unemployed, wouldn't you? So later, he shows me the cover of a recent Newsweek with the headline: "She Works, He Doesn't".

He got the look.:queen: The I Can Squash You Look.

I have a nasty cold or something. I'm going back to bed.

Kiwi

we all want to know what's up with sugar !!!! is it like when lush went to meet the pizza guy at her mother's gym???{or something like that???/} ----------------- DID ANYONE SEE THE EXTREME MAKEOVERS ON OPRAH?????????????????AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S SIGN UP!!!!!

[size=4.5]This is ridiculous. I am checking in here every 15 minutes to find out the Sugar story. Why isn't she telling??? It must be exciting.

Kiwi ... bad influence. I'm thinking it out. Will you be a good influence and come help me pack?(color=africa)[/size][size=4.5]

I had forgotten about Lush and that guy. It's probably like that. Also, didn't Kiwi have this shirtless come over to pretend he was gonna fix stuff? (color=asia)

DS had a big English project due today but thought it was Friday so didn't take it to school. It's a magazine based on To Kill a Mockingbird. Anyhow, to try to stop the teacher from deducting 20 points, he had me sign a paper saying he has been working on it but believed it was due Friday AND took it to the neighbor and had her notarize it. Good try however it turns out. (color = europe)[/size]

Kiwi, did you tell him that it was impossible to work outside the home, what with your obligations to hang out here with us???? Besides, he wouldn't really want you to work because then he'd be stuck with all the mundane, time eating chores that we women have to do. Also it throws the whole Man-as-center-of-the-universe balance off.

I'm happy to hear you're the proud owner of a new amp. I'm the proud owner of a new fishing boat. I didn't even know I wanted it, or how much fun DH tells me it will be.

I think we should sign up as a group for the extreme makeovers. One for all and all for one. It would be terrible if only one of us was made over into a babe. :flame:

Ha! That's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard!
(color=Dogpatch)

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THE UNIVERSE IN WHICH ONE OF OUR HUSBANDS WOULD CONSIDER THAT A POSSIBILITY.

Do they call them hot dogs in Bavaria?

IF YOU SPREAD SARS IN CHINA-------YOU MAY BE EXECUTED/!!!! I'D SAY THEY ARE A 'NO NONSENSE' KIND OF GOVERNMENT!!---I WONDER IF YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE FAT OVER THERE????

Wonder what they cut off if you spread an STD????:yikes:

You know, Lush, I work outside the home:lol:, if you want to call it that. It's supposed to be my day off, (I've hired a sweet girl to work every thursday), but she's preggers and she was spotting this morning so she had to go into the Dr.'s office. So here I am. Don't you think it was pretty stupid of me to hire someone to work for me who will have to quit by next month? She's due July 6th.

Yes, Wabby, we've noticed this abnormality in you. We've been being sweet and ignoring it.

Sorry, I can't help you pack. I have a cold. And I have to think about packing too. Well, not to move, just to visit my fambly. But my sis better not have that kid in the next couple of days, cuz I feel like :censored:

Re: the shirtless guy: He had a very nice dog. The dog could do all kinds of things. Too bad the shirtless guy wasn't as clever. Our roof still leaks.

You guys are a hoot. Yes, it is just plain silly for DH to even consider that I work while he stays home. I'm thinking that

is the most appropriate response. Thank you for the suggestions...

Gotta go wash my hair before it falls out in protest.

(color=headcold -- how appropriate)

Kiwi

Who are the 10 people who voted????

I voted!

Sugar P- finally, you and the butcher! You're better for him anyway.

I have not been keeping track of points because I have basically not eaten anything other than pop and junk for the past four days-- final papers and final exams. But all that is over... now I get to wait weeks for my grades. And I can participate here again! Yay! I have been exercising, though. But exercise is only about 2% of the equation. The other 999998% is diet. That stinks.

And don't you know I appreciate it. :p

Re: shirtless men - there is this guy who runs every day by the front of my office. He has, and I do not exagerate, a perfect body. He came in yesterday to ask if we have any work he could do because he needs to earn $295 by tomorrow so that he can go to a model and talent search. Too bad the pretty ones are always so dumb. :dizzy: :lol:

I voted, Lush, but I refuse to reveal my pick.

How do I do the color thingie?

yeah----how do we do the colour thingy---are you all kidding about the names of things and their colours????come Khatalinga----spill the beans babe!---------wabby---was you guy as dumb as Joey on "Friends"===those damn New Jersey Devils are murdering my Senators---------------------

first you put a bracket like this [ and then you write the word color and then you put a = and then a geographical place. This is montreal. and close the ]

at the end put [ and then / and then color and then ]

I voted. Kiwi will come along and show me up but I think my explanation is charming like Grandma Moses paintings.

llets see if this COLOUR of Canada will work-----------

canada must be boring---WHERE do you put this html---i put it in the regular place where you write the letter
