Hello, hello....
J's temp was 99 this morning and he woke up spoilin' for a fight....so I know he feeling better I still need the results of the 48 hour throat culture, but I'm not going to call for those 'til the a.m. If he does have strep, his period of contagion is over, so that boy is goin' to school - YES! I need to get to Value Village and pick up some warm weather clothing... too many cords and sweaters in my closet.....
Michelle and Jules - I've used Fitday and it's ok.
Susan-you should show up at that resident's door with a lovely bouquet tomorrow - just to cheer him up.....haha
Watch out with that pregger talk - friend of mine is 41 and now preggers with an "oops"....it ain't over 'til it's over. They are happy about it, but were in shock for a little while.
Jules - I think you and I are the same age...I've been through all those hairstyles..ugh. Now, I just had a bunch cut off and it's a bob with bangs - very much a wash-n-go mommy 'do
Cristina - I love Earl and the Office, too. I just can't stay awake for them most of the time. I don't watch much tv these days, but Thursday is the night. I watch Survivor, and tape American Inventor. Then if I can stay awake, Earl and Office.
Hi Katy ~ The one I have been using is SP also, but their systems seems to be getting so slow anymore, and I don't know if it's since they upgraded or there are just so many people. I didn't know how accurate their calorie range was though, because they have me so much lower than Fitday, but then Fitday is so high. Oh well, I'll just have to see...
Jules - Silly girl, everyone knows babies come from the stork - not the birds & the bees. I will come out and visit you and we will do some girl talk lol
Katy - Gaby was my oops baby-lol I don't know if I get a second one. The older girls would flip out if I turned up pregnant. The resident is very sensitive. I sat there for an hour listening to him and finally I had to say "I need to get to work" he looked sad and said we use to talk more.......poor thing. With my shorten (6 hours) hours I just don't have time to give an hour a resident, we have over 300.lol
Spoke with Rach tonight and she sounded great. Her father had bought some new shirts for her in the missus section and she said she couldn't wear them because they were too old looking. So, I went back and bought her some more. Sheesh.
I had this rice/veggie/chicken dish for dinner.I got a mile in - yay.
Night Cristi!,Night Ginny!,Night Michelle! Night Lurkers!
Mary & Laura - Sending a search and rescue tomorrow
I am pooped! And sleepy...this getting up at 7 am is for the birds! Anyway, got to see My Name is Earl and The Office...love those shows. Then had some folding to do and here I am finally. I know when I fall into bed I will be out in five minutes, probably more like 5 seconds! Zzzzzzzz....oh sorry.
Michelle...hope Suzanne helped with the problem. I have no clue about computers, cookies and such. And haven't had that happen to me. Now AOL is a whole nuther' ballgame!
Katy...glad James is better and can go to school. Can you believe it's almost over for the year?! This year definitely went by way too fast! I watched American Inventor a couple of times and it was funny! I can't ever remember when it's on but I am usually busy cleaning the kitchen at 7-7:30, sometimes as late as 8 like tonight. Very late dinner.
Susan...hope Mary and Laura find us! And glad Rachel is doing well. You know my first DH used to try and buy me clothes. Some of it was old womanish...I was only 22, 23...and the rest was always like 2 sizes too small! I had to tell him I appreciate the thought and especially you thinking I am so tiny but this ain't gonna work anymore! That was after 1 kid and I gained 20 pounds. Still wore a size L-XL but he was buying smalls! LOL Loved that man! I miss him a lot to! And who mentioned preggers?! I think it's the water that does it ladies. I mean after all we have had 4 babies born on this tiny little cul-de-sac in the last three months! Either that or someones hubby gets around, lol! Kidding...WTG on getting a walk in! :run:
Jules...I think your son has the right idea...Earl is a beer drinking show! And it's funny. I love the brother and crabman. Well, Jaimie Pressley is good too! She plays the part perfectly!
Well, ladies...time for me to hit the hay. I usually don't go to bed until 10 and fall asleep sometime between 11 and 12 but tonight I am tired. Been this way for the last few days. Nighty, night!
Susan ~ Do you work in the medical field since you talk about residents? Your dinner sounded very good and healthy! I love chicken and rice with veggies, but my daughter gets tired of me cooking chicken so much.
Cristina ~ I hope you get some good long sleep tonight! Tell your husband to get up in the morning when the alarm first goes off so it doesn't keep bothering you. My husband always gets right up, but most of the time he wakes up before the alarm even goes off so it doesn't bother me.
I hope all of you ladies out there all have good evenings. I will check in the morning, but my daughter doesn't have school "again" so we're going shopping and out to lunch with my sister and her two daughters. Sleep tight.
Don't think I have jumped ship if I don't post to often, but I am working 7 days a week for the past two weeks now, 10 hr days. So time in the evening is pretty tight for me. I still get my 5 miles bike ride in every evening, but that don't leave much time for much else. Laundry, dishes etc. still have to be done too... but I'll try to read the posts as often as I can so I don't get to far behind.
Susan, glad Rach is having a better time of it.
Men mean well, but they don't have any idea about sizes. My dh gave up trying to buy me clothes after the first few years of marriage. I always had to return them. So now he sticks to jewelry, that is always the right size...
Michelle, I looked into Fitday. It will help me keep track of my calories, but it's not going to be all that accurate. They don't give you much selections. Like this morning, I had scrambled eggs from fresh eggs. That isn't even an option on FD, they have scrambled eggs from dry eggs. Or they have scrambled eggs, with sausage hash browns etc. frozen meal...they have several choices of that..like come on everyone doesn't eat frozen meals all the time. I am a fresh from scratch cook. But I'll try to use it for a while see if it helps anyway. I was surprised to see cake under eggs. If you have a piece of cake are you suppose to take it apart by ingredients to see the calories...? if so I don't think I'll ever eat cake again....well maybe sometime.
My dh always gets up early, like 5:30, 6, 6:30 somewhere in there.. he usually wakes up around 4 or so and lays in bed a while. He has trouble sleeping. Most of the time he wakes me up, not intentionally, I don't think anyway..but once he gets up I usually fall back asleep for a short time. I am up between 6:30 and 7 everyday too. I am a morning person, if I have had enough sleep. I have been sleeping better, course I am exhausted by the time I get home now.
It is cloudy out again today. We never did get the rain and storms they called for. But it may rain later today. Who knows.
Well, nothing much to say. I'll check in when I can.
Katy--a couple that are friends with my mom from her church have a daughter graduating college now, a son just finishing his freshamn year at college and a 2 year old--talk about oops!! I am glad your son is feeling better!!
Susan--Rach sounds so much like Teri, Teri is still so picky about her clothes and everything has to match just right and heaven forbid you get something that doesn't fit just right or it looks like something somebody "older" woudl wear. Teri's getting a little better but she is still picky. The girl has at least 25 pairs of flip flops in all different colors and heel height(most are cheap Walmart bin type) along with dress shoes (had to have a different pair each dance to go with the dress) sneakers, and boots. She did say to me the one thing that is good about not being with her ex anymore is that she can wear heels again. He was only slightly taller than her and didn't like her to be taller. One of the many little controlling things I am still finding out. The more she thinks about it and talks with me and her friends she is realizing that he was very manipulative and controlling without being in your face demanding so it didn't seem like it to her at the time. Her divorce hearing is May 25. The ex and his Dad (who was never nice to her) are coming down from Philadelphia, I am taking all day off to be with her, hubby is coming home at lunch time to be there, her old friend since 8th grade is coming and her new friend from college will be ther too. Her Dad says that the ex and his dad better not try to get smart with Teri or he may end up in jail--he joked that at least the bail bondsmens office will be close. The ex is terrified of my 6'2' husband so I am pretty sure we will be okay.
Crisitina--My son has a whole collection of Jason Lee movies..Mall Rats, Chasing Amy and I can't remember the rest. They also watch the office though they play video games through Will & Grace.
Morning Michelle!!
Well I am going to drink a cup of coffee, hit Slim-n-tone for a workout, go to work for a few hours, stop by the vet for some doggy pills for Levi's allergies and off grocery shopping and the library---boy, I am thinking about going back to bed after just typing it all out loud!!
HI Ginny!!!! Sorry I missed you!! I would bet this time of the year you are extremely busy. Try to remember to take sometime for yourself!! Jewelry is always good!!
Hi Ginny! That is awesome on the 5 mile bike riding! It would be nice to walk more myself. I guess my problem is I open it up to an option and it isn't. lol Should be walking more! Would be wonderful to have you more to chat with but will accept that you have a life! lol
Jules - Hey! I saw the clothes that the ex bought Rach and really not too bad. One shirt though was a 1x, I might keep that one- if I am losing it will get roomy fast enough. I could wear it now though - have to think about that. I picked up some clothes that weren't acceptable that I had brought earlier. Some Happy Bunny PJ's - what could be wrong with that? She can't wear tank tops because she can't shave her arm pits with an electric razor so, we had to buy short sleeve or long sleeve and with summer coming there was no long sleeves to buy Anyway, I will call her tonight and see what she thinks of them. See her Sunday! Didn't you go to work today?? No fair!
Michelle Hope you have a nice time with your family today and a good lunch . I made myself a turkey salad from home and brought that and I found 2 apples in the fridge for snacks. Ain't I good? I will probably blow it over the weekend - lol.
Cristi ugh.....getting all teary eyed talking to you!! Hope you are having a WONDERFUL Friday. Hope you pamper yourself and remember what a sweet lady you are and how much I appreciate you. You have been a wonderful friend to me in the last 2 years. I nominate you for saint hood oops.....wrong one ok, close enough.
KatyHow are the kids?? How is Leigh?? Gaby can't wait to make a new friend tomorrow! It will be great to visit with you too
Not feeling so great today. Woke up with a headache, backache and a tickle in my throat that won't go away! Feel like I am coming down with something but not sure where I would get anything. No one here is sick.
GINNY...at least you are keeping up with your bike riding. I missed my exercise yesterday. Spent too much time here and then trying to play catch up with the house work. With throwing two errands in between. It's cloudy and gloomy here too. Rained some before I got up and is supposed to be this way tomorrow too.
MICHELLE...oh, DH doesn't wake me up. We both have our own clocks and I hardly ever even hear his, or him getting up and in the shower. I will hear him leave sometimes. Now when the kids get up and moving about I do hear them. Their bath is right next to our bedroom and for some reason that shower (the pipes) are loud and annoying. Just not been able to sleep for other reasons-too much on my mind. Hope you have a nice day of shopping and lunch with your DD.
JULES...that's us. Our son would have been 6 this year and the other three are all in their 20's, yikes! (22, 24 & soon to be 26!) Only he wasn't a surprise, definitely planned. Have a nice day shopping and at the library. I bought a couple of books yesterday thinking maybe it would get me into reading again.
SUSAN...Hope you got Miss Gaby, the slurpee queen off to the sitters. Or should I say she is the slurpee princess and you are the slurpee queen? A slurpee actually sounds good right now...would feel good on my throat.
Well, not much planned for the day. I usually go to IF on Friday but didn't feel up to it so walked the treadmill (2 miles) before getting in the shower. Straighten the house, get a load of laundry done and then get the wedding gift together and take to V so he can give it to the bride and groom. They are a cute couple, some odd things on their gift registry...a womans bike, the game twister, a swimming pool, two flat screen tv's and a bunch of little kitchen gadgets which is what we bought for them. I wanted to stray from the list to get a better gift. But...since they have lived together for a couple of years I don't know what they have...I don't even know them, more of acquaintances. Anyway, they are headed to Corpus Cristi for a week for their honeymoon. Aaahhh, to be young again. Anyway, chat with ya later!
I was too busy posting my mini-novel didn't see ya there. Sainthood, no way missy! You are the saint and the one keeping me from losing it. But THANK YOU and I appreciate you too and all you do!
Give Rachel hugs from me. Sounds like she is doing better and I am happy to hear that. Eeewwww, can't shave her pits though, that has got to be the pits! She is sweetie and so are you!
Member Reminder!
MONDAY is WEIGH IN day!!!! 3 days to go!!!
