((((Susan)))) you are so right about him......the custody evaluation is going to shine a bright light... and that is good news for you and Gaby...Sorry if I got you going.. I want to only be supportive and I know how lawyers can talk sometimes, it can be very frustrating for sure. I'm glad you are taking someone with you to the meeting.

Another chili lover here- if everyone ate chili the world would be a better place
Hang in there.....

[Mom2Gaby]

Don't worry I was already on a mission today.

Just seemed my lawyer was only worried about his own sorry butt and wasn't even giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Jaded Ladies are more supported than him!!!! He even misplaced my fee waiver (reduced waiver $550 instead of $800))income tax papers that I mailed, so I have to fax them.

I ain't bending over (even though I eat chili!!! UNITE!!!) for anyone. 6 1/2 long months!! I ain't rushing down there and taking annual leave ( I only have 18 hours!!! lol ) for this nut. Pooh on him.......

Who cares if we go to a custody evaluation. I have the money, he doesn't. Gaby and I are close and she adores me. I let her trike in stores and I don't smoke and ...........I have a proper carseat!!! lol

thanks Katy........

HUGS to my SW neighbor!!!!

Hi Ladies

I was planning to join the chat today and then life took over! One of my closest friends is pregnant with twin girls She is so excited, she has 2 boys 10 and 6 and she's been waiting for a girl and now she'll have 2! Anyway, so I am basically the leader in planning her shower, which is planned for June 18 and I am running out of time but she just found out the sexes last week....so I was running around today trying to get some things for the shower.

I am having a pocketbook party on Saturday and I had to go to the grocery store and get some appetizer-like-things for that. Then I went to the liquor store to get champagne for some punch I'm planning to make (but not drink) for the party. My father was coming over to hang some blinds for me so I wanted to cook him a proper dinner (something tells me he wouldn't be a big fan of a frozen Lean Cuisine) so I was picking up stuff to make fajitas. I got home, put everything away and started cooking so by the time I looked at the clock it was 7:30 and I still had to feed Kaitlyn and get ready to watch Lost so, obviously and a million years after I started the story, I missed the chat. I am hoping to get on for tomorrow.

The good news is I drank a ton of water today. Did a 3 mile walk early afternoon so I didn't have to dread it all day, and stayed on plan even having some yummy fajitas. So all in all it was a good, yet crazy day. Hope everyone had a great day and I'm so looking forward, not only to sleep b/c it 11:44 and I have work tomorrow, but to chatting tomorrow. See y'all there.

Back again. I have done well today if I can just stay out of the kitchen now. I drank lots of water, though I didn't measure it, but 4 big glasses. Ate right and got in my walk. Did lots of bending and stretching doing yardwork. I feel good tonight...after a nice warm bath. Just need about 4 months of days like today.

Katy, No, you were not wrong. We were deciding between a condo and 2 different house plans. Since we found this lot we are going for a house. 45 min. workout, I can only hope I work up to that long. Right now I think it would kill me..ha. I watched the CMA's and still like Reba and Garth. Also a fan of Faith and Tim. (Kenny Chesney just married Rene Zelweger.) I saw his shiny wedding ring last night.

Pam, I am still having a hard time believing your neighbor shot that dog. He must have a screw loose. If I were you I would keep my distance from him. Be careful gal.

Ellen, So sorry about your allergies. I have them also, and just today started having a headache so something must be blooming that gets to me. I will be thinking of you with your DD moving out. I have been through that and it is hard. The only thing worse is when they are moving across the country. That is really rough.

Terri, I have heard of Watkins and know of their spices. I remember that they had wonderful vanilla and lemon extracts back years ago. Lots of luck!

Marti, I have also had sciatica. The first time I had it I was sitting in a recliner and when I tried to get up I couldn't. Then one time I was walking and my leg just went right out from under me and down I went. Same old sciatic nerve. I am with you on the eating better. Hope we can both do it!

Susan, Hang in there. You know you are doing things right and he isn't so I have to feel that you will win out in the long run. It is just such a battle.

Jane, Your willpower amazes me. I can only hope that one day I will possess such a strong willpower. Really, my downfall is not knowing how to say "no."

Cristi, Yay for the new patio. Sounds great as do the new washer/dryer.

Good day to all the rest of you.... Someday I will catch up!

[tlprocks]

GOOD MORNING

Wow the baby is sick.. she caught a cold somehow.. they are always so difficult when they are sick! So i will go staright to individuals

Pam: Ya yard work is always there isnt it.. kind of like laundry and dishes. Poor family... my kids would be devastated! Baffles me how people can be. Wow so how is the weather there? It looks like we will have a nice sunny day! YAY!

Cristi: Well they are calling for good weather all week-end... Here's to hoping!. But the bugs are out in full force... they drive me bonkers!! and i must smell nice because i think they come form miles around just to feast on me... yuck.. nasty little things! The interior of my car is black( cuz i think that is about the only thing that goes with orange lol... I really will take some pics! And watkins actually started out with Vanilla i think.. They have all sorts of spices and cleaners and sunblock and quite a few different things. I think you can go to www.watkinsonline.com and you can see the products and descriptions.. i dont think they have all the products though.
Ellen: I hope you start to feel better! Yes the Watkins products are good old products! Our family has been buying them for as long as i can remember. I like the bug repellant and the toilet cleaner.. and their salve... it works for cuts and burns and i even use it on diaper rash! So it should be an adventure.. I am not looking to get rich, just looking for something to do.. and i love those little parties to sell it.. just to get together with friends!


Susan: Wow this whole thing really sucks! I think you really should bring a witness when you go to the lawyer and any time you have to do anything about that whole situation. and kepp all the emails and stuff from mike. That is tough! (((HUGS)))


Suetalks: Wow it will be nice to excercise with someone else.. it is always more enjoyable! Glad that DH is doing the same.. that will make much nicer and easier! Sounds like you are doing a great job!!! YAY for you!!! pass some of that this way lol!

Marti: glad you are feeling better! I have yet to find something to help with my sciatica.. other then pills. I only take one back pill though.. they are so big i can hardly swallow them.. i guess they are like a noname brand of robaxacet.. much cheaper and do the same job... but hard to swallow lol.

Katy: lol ya if you are really curious there is a link above for the watkins site. I dunno i just put it there if someone was bored. I watched american idol last night.. and carrie and bo are in the final 2.. which is good for me.. either one of them would be ok to win! I like that when i like both of the finalists.. Oh ya.. if everyone ate chilli it might be a smellier place too LOL.. wow good thing i am not a comedian!


Karey: Hello there! Wow twin girls! That is fun! It is nice to know the sex of the babies.. that is much easier to plan a shower!

Hello Jane! Hope you are having a good day! Hello to everyone else! I am off to do some more bookwork! ttfn xxoo

Good morning ladies~

Just a real quick Hi for now.

Ran to the video store and rented Maria Full of Grace, Motorcycle Diaries, National Treasure, Ray & Assault on Precinct 13. Was really wanting to get The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I love Bill Murray! They didn't have it though, was all rented out. Going to spend today and the next few days in between other things watching movies! In one of those moods.

Karey~glad you found us!

Anyway, gotta go for now. Will try to be back later this afternoon to do individuals. But for now tata!

[KaitlynsMommy04]

Cristi,

I just read your post and had to tell you that Bill Murray owns a house in the county I live in. When he was filming that movie, part of it took place in my town. My husband is a State Trooper and they were police protection and motorcades while filming. My husband, and everyone else he works with got an email inviting him to a premiere party at Bill Murray's house!!!! Can you imagine?!?!? Unfortunately, we already had plans that couldn't be broken but isn't that cool?!?! It's like one of my only celebrity stories! Hope to chat with you later, gotta get back to work.

Have a good day, ladies

[Marti]
