I tried to get here I really did. I got busy with school. I had a test every day that I went last week so I kind of had my head in the books. Yesterday I was in the yard trying to get all of the plants into the ground. I was working like a dog. I have been very PMSy and I think I could literaly kill someone today. They better watch out. :lol:

Angie that is a really gross story. What do some poeple think about when they do things like that? I wish I could send our beautiful weather up to you and Julie. The only bad thing right now is no rain. I am not going to complain though b/c hurricane season is coming and I think that will take care of any rain needs that we have. :D

Julie I love candy too. Joe isn't to into it but I think I could really live off of the stuff. My brother and sister are the same as me so I know that we all have the same family problem.

Holly I don't have any kids and I am fighting to be what I was when I got married 7 years ago. I don't even want to think about what is going to happen to my body if I have kids.

Noleel there are some crazy people over there arn't there? We have our crazies too. There is one lady in the subdivision that plants fake flowers. :dizzy: She has all of the statues out and one day we drove by and they were all in the drive way. I thought she was going to get rid of them, WRONG, she was bleaching them so that you could see them better. I have a statue of St. Francis but I think he looks better weathered. I would never bleach him white.

Good Morning all
Angie WOW! How could someone do that to a baby. I remember when mine came out and it was instant love and protection I felt for them.
Angie what a scary story. Our computer is still acting up. I think it has Pms like me :lol:! We have just been so busy it has been hard to get my hus to look at it, you know between the spring yard work and the kids its like no time what so ever! That is so funny about the duffel bags. Among all the other crazy things this weekend we ended up at Target too. Kids got to spend their Easter money from Grandma and picked up some clothes for the kids. They really do have nice clothes there. Today is my Wedding Anniversary, I would like to say Yay everything great but, I won't get into everything. My mom sent me this beautiful basket of real tulips and balloons. That cheered me up. I have just been so busy and pmsy it is nice to look up at beautiful flowers and cheery balloons :). Well hi to everyone. Check back later. You know I always do! Julie

Hi. I am on a pee break although there really wasnt a need to work at all today. Half of the accounts didnt need anything so we are doing hardly anything for cooking. Which sucks because there will be so many extra honey buns that it will be very hard to resist. Who am I kidding....we all know I will more than likely have one. I wished there was a magic pill to give me the drive I had to lose the weight the other 2 times. I also wished there was someone for a dietician or something to teach me the right way to eat. I know I dont do it right even when I am losing weight.

Yeah, the story is pretty gross but I cant imagine what the Dad had to go through seeing that and having to find out how long it was kept from him. I bet he panicked and did it without even thinking, or to protect his daughters. It is a shame.

Brittany's fit into Target was so funny because when she gets pissy we make jokes and I was almost rolling on the floor laughing. She is really small for her age and you should have seen how big those bags were. :lol: We live about a mile from school and there is no way she would have been able to carry that to school so we of course had to show her the ones with wheels. :lol: :lol: Jay said Geesh Brit you could put a motor in that and ride it to school. hahahaha We are the worst parents.

Hey Kempy, I bet you cant wait for things to slow down for you. When will school be done? I wished I could work outside now. We have a while still before I can do any kind of planting. Not to mention that my Rhodedendron(sp) took a beating with the snow piling up on it this winter. I hope it makes it. I cant wait for it to dry up enough so I can paint the deck again. I love it when it is freshly painted it looks so nice. I need a new patio set this year too. Mine has turned into the cats bed. YUCK!!

Well, I had better get back to work for my 2 seconds of glazing. I hate mud season. I dont have hardly any work to do but I dont have any money to go on vacation with either.

Angie one of my Rhodedendrons died this winter too. Its a purple gem variety and just love it. I am going to check home depot this spring here and see if they have any or can order one. I love the color purple. So cheery. That is so funny....put a motor on it and ride in to school. I wish you could send some of those extra honey buns my way. I could probally eat about six of them right now with a big glass of milk. All I had today was a light yogurt and I hate that aspartame leftover taste in my mouth. I better start chugging water.

Noelle and Jacks hope you are not crazy pulling your hair out at work today!
Hi everyone.

Hey everyone, I guess everyone should just about be in bed by now or close to it...what you guys do in it is your business :devil: :lol: :o what I mean to say is didn't you guys have to turn your clocks forward 1 hour? You're even further ahead of me here in HI.

I had a pretty full weekend, I even spent time at the beach on Sunday--I never go to the beach! No, I didn't wear a bikini or anything, just some boardshorts and a tankini top--I didn't wanna scare anyone. Rick goes surfing every Sunday morning so recently I pack up the kiddo and we go and build sandcastles while dad rides the waves. Last week we saw a monk seal swimming really close to shore, then he eventually came up on the beach. That was so cool. They're endangered here so you're not supposed to get close at all, but I did walk up and aim the camera with as much zoom as I could. When I download the pics I may post one here. My lips are pretty burnt and feel cracked--none too kissable :(.

Angie, that baby story is horrible! I can't see anyone, even in a panic just killing their own baby, then hiding it. Imagine the guilty conscience! How the heck will the authorities bring that family to justice? I bet Brit thinks she has some pretty cool parents--better than those old fuddy-duddy types, eh?

Julie, my home computer is acting pretty wacko so I don't log on over there much, I need to have my friend take a look at it soon before it crashes completely. I really wanted to get online this weekend too to chat with you girls to keep me out of the chips and dips...needless to say I didn't do too well this weekend. Oh well, back on track with the weekday.

Holly, glad to hear from you. I want to agree with your hubby on the weight issue. I think after 3 kids and almost 10 years you are doing awesome my friend. It seems like you have the resolve to do what you have to do to get your body back though. You go girl. Oh yeah, actually, we have had snow recently here in Hawaii, although not on my island. On the Big Island of Hawaii since we've had this wet and windy weather, there has been actually a lot of snow way up on the mountain tops. People have been using their boogie boards on the snow rather than on the waves. Don't know if the snow is still there though.

Kempy it sounds like you've been really busy with your schoolwork. I bet you're doing just fine and it'll be over before you know it. When you graduate, the rest of us will just have to make an extended trip over there so we can visit with you and get our hair removal treatments. Or, we can just sit around eating that great cajun food and drink margaritas! That sounds more like it :cheers:

Well, I'm sitting here in my office and I need to pack up and go home. I'll be back tomorrow to see what's going on with you guys. Have a great evening all.

I am here first HAH! I was trying to bet you Angie. hehe Not to much to report on my end. I am still pretty PMSy so most of the people I work with are steering clear of me which is really good for all of us. I hate to be such a ***** to them but hey the ask for it. ;)

Julie I saw the end of AJ last night. I didn;'t watch the whole show but I just thought for sure that he would pick Rachel. I guess that just goes to show you that even guys go for the looks. I thought Rachel was cute though and I could really see her with him. Those editing people are really good at making you think that they are going to pick the average person. They fooled me in the last 2 shows too.

Angie I will be done with school Aug 6. That is if I don't miss any days. It really doesn't matter if I do b/c I just need to be out of school no later than 30 days before my board exams. That is going to be about the 3rd Friday in Oct. I culd miss days and just make sure that I am done by Sept. 15. I am not going to do that though, I am ready to be finished.

Noelle you guys can COME ON DOWN!!! I think I like the drinking idea too. After all we are right here next to New Orleans. You guys could not come here and not go to the Big Easy. I mean I will remove hairs if you want but the going out and having fun party will be top priority. :D

I hope you guys make it here today. I need to keep myself busy on the computer so that I don't kill someone. :D

Yeah I think we should all make a trip to New Orleans together!! Wouldnt it be fun even if we only had a weekend to get to actually hang out in person? I havent drank in 10 years so I am sure I would be a sight!! :lol: :lol: :lol:Lets do it!!!

Noelle, Hanging out on the beach sounds like so much fun! I am jealous! It is so cold here right now. It is about 25 degrees and really windy for the last 2 days. The stray was ready to walk right into my house last night he was so cold. That is saying alot too because my cats are trying to kill him I think. I took a towel and some food out for him but Meatball(MY huge fat jerky male cat :lol: ) decided to sleep outside last night to guard the house so I dont think stray kitty got to use the towel.

Not much happening here. I have already screwed up this morning with some cake and peanut butter frosting so I vow that that will be it for junk food for the day because I have to start somewhere so I may as well do it now.

I will check back in later to chat.

Hello. I skipped lunch and got in a half hour workout so maybe I will be doing pretty well calorie wise today afterall. I am going to eat a banana in a few minutes.

Whats everybody making for supper tonight? I baked chicken breast with the creole season last night and shredded it with some rice and it was so good that maybe I will do that agin tonight with some cauliflower and carrots too.

Where is everyone today?

I am here. I have been playing on ebay all day. I am in no mood to be doing work of any sorts.

Good for you Angie. I need to work out today but the talking myself out of it has already started. I have ne reason not to but when I feel like this it is hard to make myself do anything.

I am going to have low fat ravioli. Joe isn't home so there is no way that I am going to cook. Why cook for just one person. I can live on turkey sandwiches and soup. :D

Good Evening Girls

This is the first time I got to get to post all day :(. This morning I went and I got my haircut. It is cute and I am happy with it. I have not had one since last Sept. or Oct.? My hus was off of work today so the first time in a gazillion years I had the whole morning to myself. I went and got my haircut and the went shopping I bought, two shirts, a pair of shorts, pjs for the kids, and each a little toy (couldn't resist), a couple pair of new undies for myself not the sexy ones just comfy cotton :lol:, I bought a candle because it was purple and smelled good and thought it was lavender so it would calm my anxiety when I get it, but come to find out it is called Huckleberry. It smells good anyway. I also got my 2 yr old some undies and she said No way Mama I am not wearing underware. Give those to my brother! I had to laugh. They are so cute and tiny. Little Strawberry Shortcake undies. You know I forgot tons of things I wanted to get, this was x-mas money from my mom and still almost eneded up spending $100.00 God this world is expensive. I saw the cutest capris today, they were levi's stonewashed carpenter style but did not have my size. Figures. Oh well it was nice to get out by myself for a little bit. I missed my babies though. My hus and I celebrated our anniversary dinner tonight since last night was to crazy. We grilled steaks, baked potatoes, lots of sour cream and let me tell you I pigged out on the chocolate tonight :^:! After that I called my mom and said please don't by the kids any chocolate I can't control myself. I feel sick actually! We bought some chocoloate for Easter so that should be enough. I said by raisins, and fruit snacks. Mean mom huh? Just kidding. Well enough about me. I really have not have a chance to check up on the other posts from today.

Noelle I am so jealous. A beach sounds so much fun and Michael must love it. I want to pack a cooler and go to the beach with you and let our little boys play. Wouldn't that be great?

Angie your supper sounds good. How are you doing staying OP. I did terrible tonight and had tons, I mean tons of those damn Easter eggs filled with carmel and peanut butter. What am I going to do with myself? I will just blame it on pms. Even though I would still probally cave in. Hahaha

Kempy I was so mad when he picked the other girl on AJ. Ugh! I was telling my hus about it and he had never even seen the show. I don't even know if he knew what the heck I was talking about :lol:! Your dinner sounds good too. I love italian. Way too much, can't control that pasta. I just eat it and eat it and eat it. Isn't spring yard work fun? I have to replant a couple of bushes that died. But this afternoon my hus raked up some dead grass today, so hopefully it will turn green soon!

Well my friends I am bushed and so I have to clean up the kitchen and pick up a little bit and then I want to go to bed. Luv you all and Hello to everyone I missed. Julie

Btw wasn't American Idol terrrible tonight? I thought last season was much better. I would get the goose bumps everytime I heard Clay sing. I wish his tour was coming my way :(! I just love Clay. He has the most beautiful voice to me. Okay I must have really missed you guys today because I can't stop talking all ready!!!!!!!!!! Talk tomorrow, Julie

Good Morning! Julie, I am glad you and your husband had a nice anniversary dinner. That chocolate will get ya everytime. :lol: I am the same way. I cant seem to control myself around junk food.

Well, It is actually pretty nice here today. We took the dogs for a walk and then came home and sat in the sunshine for a while and watched the kittens scratch on the sliders to come out. I cant bring myself to let them out alone, I dont know why. (maybe it is because they were so vulnerable when we found them that I dont want to take a chance.) I know I will have to let them eventually because when it gets warm my doors and windows stay open all summer.

Well, I did pretty well last night. I stopped at the cake for my only screw up and I even got in a total of 40 minutes exercise. That is better than I have done in a while

Well, I will check back in a while but right now I need to jump in the shower.

Good Morning Girls

Just checking in, got sometime right now for a second. Why are losing 10-20 pounds so hard? It doesn't seem like a big number....just keep moving
on :lol:!

Angie doesn't it feel good to sit in the sun? I did it yesterday afternoon and it felt so good. I don't think I picked up a tan but it just was great. All you people that live in those warm areas take advantage of it :). I told my hus that I am in such a better mood when it is above 60! I think it actually helps pms.

Kempy make sure you check in with us before you leave us for four days :(. I hope you are having a good day at work :).

Check back in later! Julie

I am actually at home today. I have cramps so I figured I just need to stay here and sleep. Which I did. I didn't get up until almost 11. I am still pretty sluggish though. This month has been a pretty bad one for me this time.

Julie I am so happy that you got to be by yourself. Sometimes you just need to do those things.

Angie we can only leave our doors and windows open this time of year. In the summer you don't dare do it. :lol:

Well, girls I need to go lay back down so I will check back in a little later.

Hello. Kempy, I got a little package in the mail today. Thanks. You are so sweet to make sure I get my creole fix! I was so surprised to see Jay come in with a package because I knew I hadnt ordered anything.

Julie, I could sit in the sun all day. My deck looks like the rocks in the ocean with all the seals laying on them only it is very obese cats!! :lol: :rofl:

Shadow is pissing me off so bad. He is one of my male cats but all winter he has started to spray and he literrally will spray anything in front of me. I am gonna knock him pretty soon. He sat outside today going from shrub to shrub and spraying them then last night he sprayed my wall and I hollered at him and he then went to the trash can and sparyed that while I stood there. Lets just say he got escorted outside really fast. :lol:

Kempy, Do you know if dogs are allowed on the beach in Destin? I know some places in Florida dont let them. I have been looking up campgrounds there because the sand is supposed to be so pretty but I only want to be where I can take the dogs with me too. That is why I loved Hanna Park in Jacksonville becuase the dogs were welcome on the beach and it only cost $16.00 per night with water,sewer and electric hook up.

Holy cow you guys I am so lucky I didnt eat the house last night because we were watching The Travel Channel and it was all about BBQ. That food looked so good! I am going to do a pork loin Saturday and make shredded pork sandwiches for supper I think.

Well, I had better get back to work but I wanted to let you know I got your Care Package and to thank you for being such a great friend!!
