KT - I sympathize about the car in the shop - I'm addicted to my car and practically panic if we take someone else's out for an evening.
Belle - I'm a morning person so getting up that early isn't a problem but by 9 PM I'm all about curling up on the couch and if I'm up much past 10 PM I turn into the wicked witch of the west.
JenL - Your addition sounds fabulous. What a great idea to set it up so you can workout and watch the kids without them being totally underfoot.
JenK - I'm with you on the Auntie thing. I've my sister's daughter is 15 months and my older brother's is 7 months. I absolutely adore them. I don't live near them but I call them (ignore their parents) and talk to them on the phone all the time.
Christian just e-mailed and asked me to lunch so I'm out of here.
Cool! Awww, Minnie Mouse, that is very cute. Does Emma have little friends? Julie didn't until last year, she has daycare friends now. And a little b/f named Evan. He is as old as her but can't talk very well so she tries to teach him, its rather funny.
Julianna is now into Princesses (Disney). She is getting an Arial doll from her new brother or sister when he/she arrives. Because she'll be 4 when the baby comes, she'll know exactly what is going on and we'll have to be careful about not ignoring her.
Also, have you seen "Dora the Explorer"? that is the latest craze for 2-5 year olds in Canada.....
Belle-
My boyfriend is a computer jock so we definately have computer access at home...actually 3 computers! And DSL, which is faster access than I have at work sometimes! I will be checking in all next week.
Jen-
You are going to LOVE the new basement. We have a walk out lower level that is finished with a HUGE living room/rec room and we live down there! I really wish we had a 1/2 bath down there, but we dont.
OOOH, Jen and Jen, all these weird coincidences!! Jen2 I bet your sister delivers first...
My sister didn't want to know, but I am thinking its a boy too. It'll be Andrew James (AJ) if its a boy. My sister wants a girl though.
Jen 1 - do you secretly want a girl or a boy (if we know it will be healthy either way...)?
Belle - Now I am actually laughing out loud!! My nephew is going to be Adam James, also AJ!!!!! How can this be???!! My sister wanted another girl too, but things just didn't go her way!
I called the realtor to set up a time to view the house and it's already sold. It hasn't even been on the market for a week... Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
I'm kinda (ok, really) disappointed... I'm going to work for awhile and will be back later to make better conversation.
HOLY COW GIRLS! I get in to post... hopefully I won't miss anyone.
I went to WI and yippee... down 1.5 from last WI. Which was 3 weeks ago because the WW at work here ended and I'm joining a WW at another company with my same leader, but the session didn't start out until today. BUT - SO GLAD I'm back at 136 (lowest ever) because retaining all that water was awful.
Hi Marcie - hope all is well with you!
Jess - sorry about the house... I'm sure there's one out there just perfect for you.
Belle - I remember the beginning of your relationship... amazing how much the relationship has matured. Shows you people can change.
JenL - Take great care of yourself and don't catch that bug!
JenK - wow... your 9th race.... you are so awesome. Inspiring!
Laura - wow... 2 jobs. I feel like I have no time with my one job... I can't imagine. Your vacation will be well deserved.
KT - public transit is the worst. I drive unless I know parking is impossible. Hopefully you're getting your can back soon.
So - okay... 136. Definatly won't be 125 by my b-day.... but I'm cool with that... I'm feeling good about being OP... and I think the new WW session will get me motivated again.
Belle... OK, I really want either. How weird is that. I want a boy because a boy and girl would be a perfect family (that is what mine is)... but I also think another girl would be great because then Emma would have a sister. I know I hate not having a sister. So I would be super happy with either. That's the honest truth!!!
And I am due the first week of May... for right now. I don't get to see the doctor until October 11 because I had a great PG the first time, they said then they just wait until the end of the 1st trimester to start appointments. Booo hoooo... Can't wait to hear the heartbeat!
Jess... Sooo Sad, but you know, since you didn't see it, there may have been something you really hated about it. Keep an eye open for something else. It took what felt forever for us to find our house. Tho I know we won't live here forever, I want more land!
Marcie... is it you that has the big yard?? I forget. But anyway, I have soooo many flower beds and I started a whole bunch of new ones. One that is the length of our lot because we have rotten neighbors on that side and I need to make a barrier (You missed that whole saga last month). I love gardening, even tho I don't have as much time as I wish I could. Being due with a baby in spring may cause some rotten looking flower beds this year too. Oh well. Oh and I have a vegetable garden too.
Freaky weird coincidences today - But very entertaining.
JenL - I love the sounds of your basement - You will enjoy it I'm sure and hey, it probably bumps up the value of the house too.
Jess - I can sympathise - when the ex and I found the perfect house at the perfect price - it had already been sold - of course, these things work out for the best.
Belle - you should get your tummy checked out - hopefully you didn't pick anything up.
Jen-
We have toooo many flowerbeds! I have already dug two up. There were hundreds of bulbs in each one. I just do not have the time it takes to keep them pretty. It looks nicer with a couple less that are better kept. The lady that had the house before us was retired and spent all of her time in the yard. I do not have that luxury...well....not for another 20-some years!
We have several houses sell before we got a chance to look at them. In the area we were looking (and now living) homes are not on the market for more than a week.
Sigh...
Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
