Hey Angie! Guess we were posting at the same time! 50 bucks for that? Crud! For 50 bucks I'd wanna see good enough to know whether or not the actors have spinach in their teeth. :mag: K- I'm cheap. I'm already whining about having to pay an arm and a leg for the new Scooby Doo movie coming out next weekend. I say the little buggers will enjoy it at home just as much, but alas, Vallory wants to go there for her birthday. So what's a good mom to do? (I'll just carry a big purse with canned sodas and Hershey bars! :lol: ) *teasing*

Hmmmmm..... :chin: your eye doctor must be as cute as my dentist. (who- by the way- definitely remembered me :fr: )

I am soooooooooo sick of this paper on VBACs. *sigh* (VBAC=vaginal birth after c-section) I hope folks are long winded so we don't have time for me to present my paper since I could BS my way through it but will NOT have time to do a powerpoint presentation.

Well..... look on the bright side.... You're not in the middle of a VBAC yourself. :lol: Course, I remember what a pain in the patootie some assignments can be so it feels like a VBAC! :lol: Here's some :goodvibes: so that people will be long winded tomorrow and you will be last on the list. :D I hate feeling pressured. Do you have the paper finished? Maybe you'll luck out and they will extend some presentations into the next class period. Good luck.

*lol* I remember what birth felt like all too well. I had all natural (no meds whatsoever) homebirths for all three of my children. I wouldn't do it any other way, given a choice, though I have to say I'm glad I'm done having babies. :D

As for the paper, its nearly done now. I still have to finish my conclusions and write an abstract, as well as do the final editing, but it'll be done by tomorrow. I'lll save the final edit for the morning as right now I'm too close to it to do a proper edit anyhow. I have a few handouts to use as a/v aids, but will need to track down a few more in case I am stuck presenting tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers for a reprieve though.

I can't wait to graduate and be done with this...only 48 more days left. After that I want a looooong break before I go on to grad school.

Hi to all

Angie this is so great... Yes we do ship for Brewers Distributors... Except that I get to talk to Edmonton as that is where our beer is shipped from. I live near Edmonton and work for Hiway 9 Express Ltd. I do have lots of family in Calgary and Lethbridge.

Susan in the movie Sleepless in Seattle, do Meg and Tom get together in the end? I have actually never made it to the end of the movie. Do you go to church with your ex?

Cristi yes I got your pm and I will get you my address again. I also need your new address as I only have your old one. Saran wrap around a car? I wonder if they were playing some joke on someone. We got married in Feb. and my brother in law thought it was really funny when he dumped 10 bags of confetti into our heating system so as soon as we turned on the heater... and we had to drive an hour to get to Edmonton where we spent a few nights in fantasyland hotel.

Kayecee hope you have an interesting time with your jury duty.

Hello to everyone else as I have to run and try and get some laundry done tonight. Hubby has to go out of town again this week. So I need to try and get as much done as I can tonight.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Morning Y'all!
 

Gee! I think I like jury duty. I got up at my usual time but don't have to leave the house until an hour later than usual. :coffee: Not that I've done anything with the extra hour! :lol:

Kat- With Landon, my epidural slipped out somehow, so I actually wound up having him naturally. Then when Vallory came along, the anesthesiologist was heading downstairs when my dilation jumped. He came in and the doctor told him to head on back upstairs cuz I was having her now. :faint: It wasn't too bad and when they were wheeling me back to my room afterwards, I was eating Pringles and calling everyone saying, "Guess what I just did...." :lol: If I have any more children, I will definitely go natural all the way. I had the drugs in my system with Landon so I felt lethargic afterwards, but with Vallory, I was on such a natural high that I don't think I came down for a week. Hope all goes well with your presentation today. :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes I'm like you and counting down the days for the end of this miserable school year. :D

Kathy- Ugh.... hope you got your laundry done. Mt. Washmore and I don't exactly get along together. Speaking of which.... I wonder if those pants laying in a heap by the bed smell good enough to wear again today.... :chin: LOL *teasing* I ain't that bad! :lol:

Well, gotta go and wake the little princess. She's usually cranky in the morning so I gotta give her plenty of time so I don't have to carry her out to the van butt naked and coax her into clothes halfway down the road. :lol: Wish me luck that I don't get called to the front on jury duty! :D

Good Morning,

I am almost done with my first 33 oz bottle of water!! YAY......

I also got my walk in early, thank goodness for spring break--- don't have to cart the kiddies to school.

Kat- Hope you are making it though the homework.......it will just be a memory soon....

Kayecee- You went to the lake? You have a cabin or something? Very funny about the Crap Sister story. :)

Kathy & Jana- No, I don't go to church with me ex!!!! lol
I must have written it wrong. I did go over and sneak a fried egg and 3 slices of bacon. I was just mainly there to use his computer and see which girls wanted to go to church with me. We do go to different churches.

Angie- So, did you get up and sing?? You didn't say.......sorry about the play thing, $50 is a lot for no view.....lol

Hi Rita- If I get stuck at 150, I will croak. I did that last year, couldn't budge for months, so decided to go the other way....lol up to 164, yikes.....

Long term, summer goal is to be 140/145.

Ok, I am going.I ate a chicken breast for breakfast, along with a 1/2 slice of cracked wheat buttered bread, was so good. Probablt will watch it the rest of the day.

Love Jif peanut butter also but just was curious what freashly grinded peanut butter tasted like, thinking it has a better taste??

Oh, ya. Sleepless in Seattle. Tom & Meg meet at the end up in the Empire State building........goo goo eye each other and that is basically that. Can only assume they get together?

TTYL :)

Hi again,

How long is this spring break thing??? Just started but am already fed up with my kids!! :)

If Ican get them dressed before noon that would be nice.

I finished my first 33oz of water and sipping from my second.

I did just eat a marionberry muffin, that was good. I might go chop up some carrots to snack on for a while- seem to get the munchies all of a sudden.

TTFN

Good afternoon ladies~

Jana~I saw that at the Hens Roost. I haven't posted there yet-except to thank the ladies for the welcome but I love reading the posts-some are really funny. They all seem like a great bunch of ladies, and what a sense of humor. Your Sunday sounded like mine-I did nada! Was just a very lazy day, even though I had laundry to fold and iron. I'll get to it today. ;)

Marti~2 days to go Missy till you are Mrs. D! I am getting so excited for you. I can only imagine how you are feeling. :) :grouphug:

Kathy~that's cool you and Angie are sort of close-closer than most of us anyway. 10 bags of confetti?! How long did it take to get it all out? Kind of fun though. I am not sure what the point of the plastic wrap was except to make it very hard to get in the car. I had to laugh-it looked funny and they were having a ball doing it.

Susan~THANK YOU for the card I received today with your photo's! :thanks: I am very impressed! WOW!! You have given me hope :thanks: You have really come a long way and look fabulous! I am posting two of them up on the wall where I have some others in the exercise room to motivate and inspire me to keep going. Guess what I watched last night? You've Got Mail-I just love that movie. DH and I have seen it a zillion times and he forgot some parts. I love a happy ending.

Angie~sorry about the play. It is a bit frustrating to pay that much money and not be able to see. On the other hand we went to OU (while living in Norman, OK) to see the Nutcracker and had front row seats and I think I saw a bit too much, if ya know what I mean. ;) The guy had his little and I do mean little tights on and let's just say you could see everything! I swear everytime he jumped or moved he stopped right in front of us! :lol: I couldn't look up. I guess it could go either way. They were actually pretty good-we went to several shows/plays.

Kayecee~good luck with jury duty today. Glad you had a great week off. They were just wrapping around the top half of a SUV-the windows and doors. I wanted to watch and see them finish to see what else if anything they were going to do. But who knows they may have done the whole car-that would have been A LOT of saran wrap! Where in Mo do you guys go shopping? I love the malls in LR, actually N. LR-the McCain Mall-there is hardly anyone ever there. Of course I usually went during the week and never during a holiday. I love that they have Chik-fil-a, their chicken nuggets are soooooo good!

Kat~good-luck with your paper. Natural childbirth huh?? My mother tried to talk me into it-she said the worst part was over so why take a spinal now? I had a spinal with all three and wouldn't have it any other way. Just didn't feel like the feeling of being cut and sewn up-OUCH! Only I felt nothing and it was cool to watch.

Well, I need to get going. Doing some laundry and need to catch up on the folding of the other and do some ironing. Went to the library this morning to return books due. It's a little cool out today so I will do a walk inside today. No change in my weight this morning, which is better than a gain so I will take it. That's about all that's going on in my little corner of the world. Hope all is going well in your corner of the world. Have a good one ladies. :wave:

Hi Cristi,

I am kind of impressed with our postal service, I only put that envelope in the mail Friday.......all the way to Kansas by Monday, wow. Thank-You :)

Anyway, I hope I look more like last summers picture with the short hair and at 150. The Christmas one was with longer hair and at 164.
Though the hair has more of a layer look.
I put curlers in this morning and went to the coffee shop. Rebecca wouldn't go in for me.
Anyway, a man jumped out of his seat to help me out, thought that was sweet .........or maybe he just didn't want to see me in my curlers any longer then he had to?? lol

Taking Rach for a Dr.'s appt. and have to go back to work til Wednesday night, taking Thursday & Friday off.

Almost done with my second 33 oz. er.......is that a word????

You've Got Mail was cute. It kind of got sloppy in the end , I thought.

I know........I am so critical.

Castaway made me cry. Helen Hunt should have waited for Tom.....even though everyone said he was dead.........STILL should have waited!!
I bawled up a storm........

lol

TTFN :)

Hi ladies,

Angie - the same thing happened to us once at the theatre, only the tickets were more like $8 each. But we couldn't see a thing!!

Susan - your card and letter made it to Indiana already, too! I am so very impressed with your success!! Where I am now is where you started!! You give me hope, Susan. Btw, you were still very pretty then, too.

Cristi - at least you didn't show a gain! I'm glad you had an easy Sunday -that's the one day that I refuse to do laundry, lol.

Marti - are you getting all flustered yet? The big day is almost here!!

Hi Kathy and Kat and the others.

Well, I had fun in Evansville today. I went over my points by about 6, I think, not sure til I go to Sonic's website and see what the points are for a strawberry slushie is. That wasn't on my list of stuff to eat today, so whatever that was, that's how many points I went over.

But anyway, we had fun! I got some new scrapbooking stuff at Hobby Lobby and some new containers for flowers - big ones that I'm going to set outside this summer.

TTFN,
Jana

Yum....corned beef and cabbage...I made it with blue potatoes which is cool looking because they are blue through and through.

*lmao* Vermin, my cat is sitting on the printer/scanner/copier and making multiple copies of her furry buns. She's lurking there because she wants HER share of corned beef and a helping of carrots. (The cat loves veggies for some reason).

You know, I've always wanted to be called for jury duty, but have yet to be called. My ex was once though..he said it was very interesting.

I made it through both of my presentations, and had finished the VBAC paper at 2am last night...when I got to class I found out that we needed an evaluation tool (questionaire for the audience), so I quickly threw together 4 questions and asked them verbally. Now for all the work for psych thats due tomorrow...

Good Evening,

Glad to hear you made it through your presentation, Kat. I would be frozen stiff.
Don't like getting up in front of people talking. Though I did speak at a TOPS meeting once, that was in the morning though when I had lots of coffee....

Chatter.....chatter........couldn't shut me up. lol

Our U.S postal service is winning points today!! Can't believe it made it to you , Jana. That is nice if it gives you hope & thank you for the kind words :)

Certainly at 245/250 that task seems overwhelming. Just take 10 pounds at a time it starts seeming doable.

Certainly not IMPOSSIBLE!!! That is the good news.

I am busy reading my Courage to Start book by Bingham. I am excited about starting to run, look to do that by summer time. Reading at a site where some are on a 12 week training for their first 5K (3.5 miles??).......I can run 20 steps right now.........how close am I to a mile?? lol

So, funny.

Alex Update.....he shows humor in his last email, so happy about that. I am thinking we will meet the weekend of the 17th after his trip to California....with his kids.

Rachel went for her physical and she has 20/50 eye sight, need to get her in to the optical now, actually need to get in Becky also.......mom & dad wear glasses , they probably will to. Rebecca has pink bands on her teeth, very pretty. Nice to know where my $4000 is going.....lol

I guess that is it. Corn Beef sounds yummy......weird but my kitty likes veggies too......lol

TTFN

Time to go on to the new thread...I'll go start it. ;)
