Holy Cow you guys should be here for this storm!!! It is like whiteout blizzard conditions out there. The power went out last night and luckily when it came back on it kicked my computer screen on so we woke up and fixed Jays alarm clock. Why? I dont know Half the accounts he delivered to the people werent there this morning so he ended up bringing their donuts back.
I got up this morning and the snow had drifted up over my kitchen window. My neighbor has it drifted into the corner of his house all the way to the roof on a second story home. The dogs fence is pretty useless at the bottom of the property the snow is almost to the top.
Oh yeah, we are gonna get hit again on Friday and Saturday. I am so ready for spring!!
They were supposed to go to the bakery today and hook the propane tanks up to the oven and put them out back but the weather is so bad they cancelled. Oh and no school for the kiddos.
Noelle, hope you have a better day at work today. It must be crazy getting caught up after vacation. I feel for you. I hate being in the middle of things too. Thats a bummer. I was always in the middle with my mom and dad when they divorced. Sometimes, well most of the time men, my hub. does does communicate well . Even if I say I want to talk to you, he just is like if you don't get angry or yell???? Whatever, he can be a pain. I have never seen that joke you are talking about. Unless dh deleted it by accident. I am really ready to stay on track too, how can we motivate each other? We could do weekly weigh ins report gains or loses? Not our actual weight .
Well I hope you get your , and have a great day today.
Angie I am really tired of winter too. Right now it is freezing but no snow. That is coming tomorrow. I just don't like driving in it and ds's preschool is about 15 minutes away. That is alot of snow out your window!! Your kitchen is really pretty. I would like to paint mine this summer, right now it is a green color. Not dark or anything, it is called Green Tea.
Well have a great day girls. I am planning some things today, dh birthday is next week. Okay got a ton of things to do, I better get off of here!! Bye for now and hello everyone.
The date at the top of the page says I haven't been here since February 9th, 2005. So today is March 9th, 2005. I took a month off... I was in a bad place I guess... but I am getting out of it!
I won't be making excuses.. cause that is all they sound like. I've been self absorbed and I am sorry for leaving, I just needed a little time to figure out what was going on with me.
Does anyone know anything about yeast? I think all of my health/mental problems (this means depression, I am not really mental, or at least I don't think I am ) stems from this.
About two weeks ago, I started taking some vitamins, acidophilus, and extra calcium, and between that and the meds that my doctor gave me to clear up a condition on my skin (tinea versicolor - overgrowth of natural flora that everyone has on their skin, basically, it's yeast), and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in myself. I have also started back on my treadmill and doing some moderate exercise... so all in all, I am feeling about 200% better than I was a month ago. I think I am ready to participate again instead of going home and sleeping.
I haven't had a chance to go back and read up on some of the latest posts... today and tomorrow is payroll, so I am a little busy, but I will try to catch up later this week.
Spring is finally showing it's face around here too... and I think that has helped me... The winter was really starting to get old. Right now, is sunny, a bit breeze in the low 50's. I'll take it!
Anyway... I need to get back to my data entry for payroll..... I'll check back in later tonight after I get the girls into bed. They are doing great btw... :-)
I knew you would come back again. I am so glad you are starting to feel better. Thats great news. Happy for you that Spring is so close for you!! I don't know to much about yeast? I think it thrives on sugar? Not sure though. I was thinking about taking those calcium chews. Its chocolate anyway . Its great that your girls are doing good too.
I have been having some winter blues issues myself. Basically my kids were down and out sick starting on Feb. 11 to the end of Feb. Ds first and then dd. That really wore me out totally and my eating went even more downhill. And excercise was not in sight. But I am trying. I did some heavy duty cleaning today and I want to get more cardio in if time and the kids allow. Well nice to see you back.
Btw I have to ask since you and I watch the Bachorlette, what did you think? John Paul was from your area. He was simply gorgeous!! Has he been on the news in your city or anything? I could not believe she let him go.
Hey girls, thought I'd pop in before I actually start in on my paperwork. I had to run around making deliveries this morning. It rained all afternoon and last night but right now it's bright and sunny. We're expecting a high of 83 .
Angie, that is a lot of snow! Hope it melts away for ya quick. Stay safe and warm indoors. Are the kids driving you and each other crazy yet?
Cherie, glad to have you back and to hear you're doing better. We all need time for ourselves so no guilt about taking some. I think w/more sunshine and spring on the way we'll all be feeling a bit more energetic (at least I hope so )
Julie, I don't watch the Bachlorette but as for AI? I'm with you on the girls, yuck! Nobody really stands out as WOW material for me. I still like Amanda and Vonzell, but I dunno, they all sound like they're a step behind when singing. I especially dislike Mikalah though, that over-the-top nasal whiner. I hope she gets voted out and quick, I can't take much more of her--almost to the point where I won't even bother watching the show. --the trunk monkey email was sent to me by Kempy...I'll see if I still have it for you.
Well, gotta get cracking around here, it's a short school day and I should get some work done right? Have a good one everybody.
Julie... I watched the Bachelorette.. and I think that was part of my February BLAH.. that was the worst season EVER that I have ever seen. She turned out to be the worst bachelor/bachelorette they have ever had. I loved her with Andrew.. but after this season... I am so jaded on that show. John Paul has been in the news a little... primarily when the show was on.. he is opening a new restaurant, I think in April, called JP's Place. It's up in my neck of the woods... so I will have to go check it out. Other than that.... I am not sure what is up with him. I have replaced my bachelorette addiction with The Amazing Race and Survivor. I never really watched AR before, but now after two shows, I can see why it is always getting the awards for best reality show.... and Survivor this season has been great too...
Tonight... I'll be on the treadmill, not sure what I'll be watching.... but hopefully I can find something motivating! :-)
Thanks to you and Noelle for the welcome backs.... Means a lot to me!
I LOVE the Amazing Race. That is the best show on tv beside CSI. I hated Boston Rob on Survivor but after listening to the whiners on the Amazing Race I am actually hoping him and Amber win. It is so funny to watch him pull stuff behind everyones back. Did you see the preview for next week? hahaha I cant wait.
Not much happening here right now. Corey shoveled the snow out of the walkway while me and jay were at work. That boy will be sore in the morning because the snowdrifts were as deep as he is tall. I can hardly wait for this **** to start again on Friday. When is spring??????
Blech! AI just finished and I can not believe that 'Meh'kaylah is still around. What was with those pink hooker boots??? I think I have a new crush on Bo Bice though He is so cool and comfortable and just seems to be a natural on that stage. buh-bye Amanda Anyway, can't wait for next week when the competition really begins.
Good Morning Everyone..... I am busy with payroll... but just wanted to stop in and say hi!
Angie.... I didn't like Boston Rob on Survivior either, but on AR.. I am rooting for him.. I think he has really grown on me.. and I love how he is playing the game. Whatever it takes! You are right about the others whining.... just shut up already! They are my favorite team right right now.
Well, I went home yesterday, and did three miles on the treadmill. It took me 40 minutes.. so it was a combo of walking and jogging. I was going to get back on it after the girls went to bed, but I got lazy, AGAIN... and didn't do it. Right now, I am STARVING... :-) Lunch is in about an hour, so I guess I can live with the hungar pains.... I am slowly trying to weed the sugar out of my daily diet, and see if that helps me and how I am feeling. I am still having night sweats, off and on... last night was on, so I am not sure what caused that... but I know having an over abundance of yeast in my system will contribute to the night sweats.. (as well as a ton of other things that I've been feeling).
It's beautiful here... bright and sunny.... abet a bit windy... but I would still love to have the afternoon off and go biking. My friend Alan is going to pick up my bike sometime this week or next and take it to the bike shop to have it tuned up. It really needs it. Then hopefully we can do some biking together some afternoons before I have to pick up the girls.
Well.. I better get back to work.. tonight is Survivior night! Woo Hoo!
Hey girls, mired down in invoices right now but if Cherie can stop in the middle of processing payroll I can say 'hello' as well . I'm such a procrastinator....I only get seriously cracking on work towards the end of the week, I guess I work better under pressure?
Cherie, for 3 miles. You did at least that. I sat on my butt and ate lemon cake last night That is so cool that you and Alan enjoy biking. I wish Rick and I were into some form of exercise together (besides the personal kind ). I think if I could get him home early enough in the evening, we could all go out walking together. Good luck on the sugar withdrawals. I've been reading some around these forums and found someone said that if you eliminate the sugar in your diet, you cease to crave it. I don't know how true that is, but it kinda makes sense. Don't get started on it, then you won't feel like you absolutely have to have it. :blahblah:
Noelle I am stunned she is still in. She is a young Fran Drescher(sp?)!!!! I don't like her. I don't like the way she flirts with Simon, YUCK. Lemon cake....yummy.
Cherie, I love to bike too. You and girls and Alan can enjoy it all summer long, its fun and doesn't feel like excercise. I am going to try and get Survivor in tonight.
Well girls I had a major stressful morning....I picked up ds from preschool and it is terrible outside. I think we must have gotten 3-4 inches all ready. Well anyway this guy pulled out in front of me and I was going about 35 miles an hour, had to slam on the brakes and almost hit me within inches and I almost went up the curb. It is like a damn whiteout here!! To top it off the jerk follows me home. Well I went in and out of some neighborhoods until I lost the guy, he almost hits me and follows me? I was shaking. So I sat in the garage for a couple of minutes and opened the garage door and shoveled the whole darn driveway and its all ready covered again , oh well. There is some really crazy people out there. I wish I would have gotten his license plates. But it smell good in here. I have a pork roast in the oven and onions, carrots and potatoes baking in cream of chicken soup. Last night I made a pizza pasta casserole that was awesome. Dd ate it up like no tomorrow. Okay enough rambling from me, I do not want to make you girls bored out of your minds. I will try and get more personal later. I have a you know what load of stuff to do. Luv ya all....bye for now babes!!
Noelle I have to say Bo is my favorite and had been since the auditions. He is real, not fake and not trying to put on a front. I bet he has a heart of gold and I just want to squeeze and hug him. He sang "Drift Away" so beautifully!! Go Bo!! Thats my new saying....GO BO!!!! LOL
Pre-TOM is literally killing me !!!! I am eating everything in sight....dh well lets just say "h" just said to me I don't know where you put all that food. Where is that pms list when I need it !! I feel like a total pig!!
Other than that news I hope you all are doing well.
Well, this afternoon I went and joined calorieking.com to help me keep count of my calorie intake... omg...... I thought I was doing good... geeze.... no wonder I am as big as I am. So, I am going to concentrate on counting my calories.. and getting my exercise in every day and hopefully I'll start feeling better. Each day is getting better.. I can tell that. I'm just not in that super, I'm doing great feeling mode yet.
I did 3 miles on the treadmill earlier this evening.. and now I am watching Survivor.... I love this show! :-)
Julie.... wow... how scary is that.. not only are you almost hit.. but for him to follow you.... I am so glad you lost him.
Noelle... Alan and I love to do lots of things together... my only problem is I have the girls all the time, so I don't get to spend much time with him.
Anyway... need to go take care of the girls.... I'll talk to you all soon!
Half the accounts he delivered to the people werent there this morning so he ended up bringing their donuts back. 
I am so ready for spring!!
