OK, girls, I am ready for a new week! Hope everyone has a great Monday.
Yeah! I'm the first one to log in! Sorry Kathi, I was rooting for the underdog Giants and enjoyed the game. I spent the end of the 1st quarter, the entire 2nd quarter and whole half time show mindlessly peddling on the bike while watching the game. Byron made me get off because I was starting to complain my butt hurt. Plus he wanted on. 90 minutes - woo whoo! I can't believe I wouldn't let him get the bike for so long. I'd rather be mindlessly peddling than mindlessly eating. I couldn't do that on the eliptical. I have to pay attention otherwise I will wrap myself around one of the moving arm handles.
Top 3 comercials:
Screaming squirrel/animals - Firestone
Thriller Lizards - Sobe water
'Rocky' draft horse - Bud
Welcome home Tina.
Angela :o)
OK, Angela,
My favorite:
Rocky - I want it for our blog!
Lizards
Screaming animals
LOVED the commercials this year!
Way to go on the bike! I need to get one of those - what a healthy habit to have!
Kathi,
I was with you until the last drive - I just couldn't believe they did it! And the Manning's are from Louisiana (sorta) - so go home state!
WTG Marci on the bike...pedalin for a long time :)
I too loved the commecercials :)
those were my favorite commercials too, marci...especially the lizards. THAT'S what i need also..a stationary bike; i might be getting my dad's, so i'll wait a bit (he says that if he ever gets his car back, he'll give it to me - HAHAHA; yeah, that'll never happen..still is holding on to the idea that's he's gonnna drive again, but he can't). i so wanted junior to get his ring; feel so bad; but that is pretty cool that mannings win the superbowl back to back
I was rooting for Giants as well. We are big Manning fans in this house, so my son was very happy. Plus he hates the Pats! Go Eli! He looks like a little boy to me! It was a great game!
Also, ladies, sorry about the bikini thing yesterday. I apologize if I made anyone feel bad. That was just me pushing myself, and I will not mention swimwear again...promise!
Don't think it was you, Steph. I just don't like what I look like in a bathing suit; but I'm hoping this blog will change that.
Good Morning,
I think it is important to realize that we are all different, inside and out, and we need to respect our different goals and aspirations - as well as our body types. Talk of bikini season
depressed me yesterday...I have not been where I want to be in a while. But, I had to realize that medically and mentally, I have had to overcome some difficulties that you guys haven't. Just like most of you guys have had to overcome things that I haven't. And if you haven't had to overcome anything, then lucky you. I had to remember to pat myself on the back and concentrate on the positive and remember that I am a work in progress:)
So, moving forward, I hope that everyone is ok - feel free to share your feeling - or not.
Lots of homework this week...I am looking forward to making some head way.
It's a great morning...This is how I started my day...alarm goes off at 5:30...I jump out of bed...Steve takes the dogs out to go potty...I'm dressed no0w when he comes in the room...Uh dear...do you know it's 4:30...Oh no!!! my alarm never went off, in fact, I never set it LOL...back to bed..with my clothes on LMAO
I'm good....thanks Steph, Kathi and Leighann....and I do appreciate reading about the overcomming of struggles...Leighann you may recall me spending way too many years putting myself down and not feeling good enough ...no more, my friends :) It's a good Monday for a HUG...so I'm hugging each and everyone of us :D
ROF...you were ready to this am, uh? HUGS to you, too!
Meant, ready to GO this am...
well I am just a laughing at ya'll!!!
I haven't left a comment yet, but looks like I've been busy with ya'll....
I rode the bike the whole time during the super bowl, and commented about the commercials and game.... hmmmm was it me????
nope..... wish I would have rode the bike, my fat ass my sipping beer on the couch!!!!
I love that ya'll are crazy like me... and can't keep up!!! LMAO
Marci
I know it was Angela on the bike and somehow it turned out to be you! It was too funny. How was your weekend?
All,
Its a no-go for a montetary award for the biggest blogger losser.
LOL..Marci that's what super bowl is all about...the food and drinks!!!!
I'm really sore this AM...yesterday I was on the treadmill (I went to Leighann's gym with her) and I was speedwalking..but my shin muscles were so sore from last weeks speed walking...so the only thing that made it feel better..is JOG...I'm still in amazement at myself for jogging...when I walked and it hurt too much, I jogged...then when jogging hurt too much I walked....WOW!!! I hope I can do that again today when I hit the gym!!!!!
I just can't win for losing.....
great start of the week, lost 2 lbs was really excited..... then by Friday.... an uncontrollable hungry woman who needed to drink all weekend!!! pitiful.....
sustained weight.....
I think I just need to get some major drugs or just have the gastro surgery!!! LOL
Marci
I'm going to have to hurt my husband and scream and throw a "Tinkerbell" fit, and make him come to gym with me.... I hate to go alone.... Maybe my 19 year old would come with me....
I need support personnel to live with me!!!
Brenda, you busted butt all weekend! you go you are motivated!!! :) want to move????
Louisiana is getting nice this time of year.....
Marci
Well... my little 4 day binge did me in. Im back to my original weigh PLUS 1/2 lb. WHEEEEE.
Thats ok... we had a GREAT time so it was worth it. I will just NOT eat for the next 10 days. lol.
Marci,
I feel your pain! But, if Brenda moves ANYWHERE it's to TN...lol
Tina,
I am glad that you guys had a great time! That stinks about the gain, but life sometimes get in the way and this was as positive interruption - you haved worked hard! Welcome Home.
Thanks for the positive spin Leigh Ann! It was a really fun trip and I will just have to work a bit harder this week to 'catch up'. I miss you all! I told Fred when we got home I was gonna blog and blog and blog. Ended up only having energy to read and laugh.
I am dieing to know how the game friday was. I see we won... was it fun?? I missed playing too!
Welcome back Tina!! What a time you must have had :D good for you! Yes, it looks like a push week LOL. Marci...I know what you mean about needing someone for motivation at the gym...I was like that for a long time....Now I'm at the gym by my work...I workout with myself...I see me in the mirror and we cheer each other on LOL...
It's been nice blogging today...I won't be able to check in until tonight....I wish us all a great day...
It's been nice blogging today...I won't be able to check in until tonight....I wish us all a great day...
Hey Leigh Ann... when is this Yoga for beginners class?
And Brenda, thanks for the welcome back. i did have fun and yet i missed all of you!
you are too much Brenda!!!
I love your friend in mirror....LOL
I have got to get motivated!!!
Leigh Ann????? where is our willpower???????
Tina, welcome back..... I wish I would have been on a vacation.
Marci
Marci,
You are more than welcome to have all the credit for the peddling & calories burned IF you will also take over this sore butt I've got right now! It only hurts when I'm sitting, but guess what I'm doing a work! You got it.
Tina welcome back. Don't let the stupid scale ruin your wonderful weekend. You chose a great weekend. Now just set another small goal and go for it! Without looking back!
I'm going jogging in half hour. I picked up a pamphlet at the 5k for the Carlsbad 5000 in April. Don't have to sign up until March, so I have time to decide. 2 months to see if I can jog the entire 5k. I need the little jogger smiley.
Angela :o)
well you go girl! WOw Angela, you are doing fantastic...
Leigh Ann, the yoga girl, if I attempted that, I would look like a big pretzel!!! LOL
Marci
Tina,
The yoga classes are daily...I was thinking like Saturday afternoon, but I can't this weekend because we will be in Victorville for Mackenzie's soccer tournament.
Angela,
Wow, another - very nice goal!
Marci,
Girl, I don't know, Wednesday I was down 1.5 and then the minivan took me wine tasting!
it used to be so easy to lose in my 20's.... I mean what happened???
I gained 72 lbs with my first child and lost it all in 5 months!
why can't a fat 40 year old lose weight?????
anyone have answers? LOL
Marci
I hear you, Marci! It sucks! I just don't know what to try next.
I would like to apologize to Stephanie, who in my bikini induced tirade, I hurt. I shouldn't have assumed that she doesn't struggle as well with weight issues. And, to give her just due - she is where she is at because she works at it daily. I love you, girl.
yes Steph, we just envy you! we know you work hard! we just wish we were there with you... already at the goal and pushing to keep it that way. you bust your butt daily to keep your body looking great. Keep it up...
Marci
I was very upset to learn that many of you were not happy with me because of my comments yesterday. I hope everyone can forgive my insensitivity. I am extremely hard on myself and I think my comments about the bikini came across totally wrong. Please know that I understand that we are all here to help each other in any way we can to reach our weight/fitness goals, and I admire each and every one of you for your dedication to a healthier lifestyle. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
Love you too, my best girlfriend Leigh Ann.
Glad your back! Now, I am off to the gym before I have to pick up the kids.
Thank you, Marci!
you are welcome Steph.
I learned a long time ago, that all people have some issues about themselves, and something someone else may envy may still be a struggle to them. :0)
so hats off to you for overcoming your struggles, and be good to yourself, you deserve it....
I will try not to make any of my "negative" comments,I'm just a very silly person and sometimes I just laugh at myself, but I guess it can be discouraging as well.
Marci
Hello all...Steph...seeing you on this blog this afternoon makes me smile :D Thank you for your grace in moving this forward...as Leighann stated..you have earned...through hard work, your being in such great shape :) You are needed on this blog to help us learn how to be that strong...and you need us, to rally for you as you meet your goals too... sniff sniff...we all need each other!!
I see they interesting yoga pose ...I would love to learn how to do that...what are the hours on Sat mornings??
I'm barely able to move today after my jog/walk on the treadmill..so I ended up not working out today...but I will for the rest of the week.
Steph...when you mentioned celery as the better snack to have instead of my gum/candies....have you heard about any sodium in celery...I thought I heard celery has sodium...any thoughts??
ok...gotta go to visit the inlaws...I mean bible class LOL my father in law hosts a bible study...I started to go so I can visit them...I know, very odd...it was the only way, really but now I'm liking bible class too :D
I would have to look up the times...I have always wanted to do it, but couldn't figure it out even after I checked out "Yoga for Dummies" at the library. She assures me I would be fine in the beginner class which they recommend that you take at least six times before moving up.
Hello Ladies,
Now that we have moved on, I would like to refocus our effort on a true crisis issue. Girl Scout cookies. There are at least ten boxes due to get past my doorway, and we all know that the serving size for those things is an entire box! Once I found out 10 were already headed toward my house, I started ignoring the other requests and have done a couple of Operation Thin Mint HELP!
Leigh Ann & Tina - don't worry about being able to do yoga. I hear it's fantastic exercise. Byron did it for a while. So, if you think you can't just picture Byron in a crane pose. :o) See, I bet you've convinced yourself that if he can do it you can. I wish I could fit that in, I just don't think I could squeeze classes in.
Angela :o)
ROFLMAO...I will never look at Byron the same agin:) J/K...i would like to give it a try.
Your right, those damns cookies are deadly...so far, I have none coming in...you could sell me some of yours:)
...for the kids, of course! Where did Byron do yoga?
Byron did yoga at the fitness place next to Petco and Vons. He paid for it a month at a time. I can't remember how much it was (Byron thought it was $15 for the month, but it was a couple of years ago). He used to go Sunday mornings and he paid a month at a time.
Angela :o)
Ladies,
We have to let you in on the yoga crack with my husband. Picture a smaller version of WWE champ "Stone Cold" Steve Austin doing yoga. You are pretty close to what my husband would look like.
(His kids at school -teaches middle school -say he looks like him. I had no idea who that was until a waitress told him one night when we were out to dinner. Apparently he gets it all the time.) He is also my daughter's, Rayna's and the twin's soccer coach. That's why I know Leigh Ann & Tina would so appreciate that visual.
Angela :o)
Ewwww LOL that is really funny and odd Angela LOL But hey...more power to him...what di he go there to gain?? I've always heard it builds alot of strength...but I've always wanted to do a pose and not have my body shake LOL
I'm right now sipping abit of red wine that I'm including in the healthy life style...love it LOL I've got a healthy buzz ...LOL
anyway...here's to a great day tomorrow everyone!!!!
girl scout cookies....I feel for you Angela :( so very sorry because I know the serving size you are talking about!!!
Leighann...what a brave soul you are...LOL
I have a co worker who has them in her freezer through out the year...amazing absolutely amazing
OH CRAP!!!!!!!!! I FORGOT IT'S GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME (SCREAMING MERCIFULLY); hey steph, you can move out here and get my ass back in motivation (you said anything you can do :D); we are all different, i know; i shouldn't be so hard on myself...leigh ann, i would LOVE to do yoga..i think that would be the second best thing for me, besides the walking (which i haven't done yet!!!)
((((((BLOG HUG)))))))
I'd like you all to listen to a song from Donny Osmond...go to youtube, type in his name along with "whenever you're in trouble" (all in the same search field); then click on the cd....it's a very appropriate song for this blog; i'll give details about the song after you listen
it's how we should all feel about each other after being involved with each other for so long...
(((((hug))))
Hey girls:
I missed some good blogging again last night. Brenda, about the celery. A cup has 81 mg of sodium and a normal, healthy daily intake of sodium is 2400 grams, and even on a low-sodium diet, I think you can fit the wonderful, beautiful celery into your diet as a healthy snack, and a great alternative to a sugary atom bomb! It's only 5 calories per cup! But seriously, it's okay to keep some hard candy on hand. I keep Lifesavers lollipops in my bag. I just have to remember not to bite them and chew them up quick!
Oh no, girls! Girl Scout cookies. Scandalous! Call me crazy, but I bought 10 boxes from a lady outside of Wally Mart yesterday, and took them directly across the street and gave them to the activities coordinator at the Y. Let the kids have them, and the Y can deal with the sugar rush! This way everybody gets something and I don't feel guilty!
Kathi, girl you are silly! No ass kicking from me. Not my style! I would come out and brow-beat you about what's in the pantry, though. I call it my carb cabinet, and I don't get anything in there. It's where all of the bad snacks for the kids live. I have a shelf in the fridge with my food/snacks on it. My 11 year old doesn't want to hear about celery and red peppers! He wants Nilla Wafers!
Reminds me of my favorite Far Side cartoon. It was labeled, "Potato salad gone bad", and it showed an open fridge and a bowl of potato salad standing there with a little black cowboy hat and 6-shooters, making a mean face! :)
Love everyone! Have a great day!
Angela, forgot to say that is very funny, imaging Stone Cold Steve doing Yoga! Those big guys aren't very flexible! :) That's great that your husband did that! I have taken yoga classes (now do it with videos at home) and I cannot remember a single male in the classes, ever. Maybe it's where I live. The men stay in the weight room and on the treadmills, and occasionally pass by the rooms where the classes are going on, to oogle the goodies! They aren't fooling anyone!
lol, steph; brow beat me...roflmao; i do need to buy healthier foods though; but for convenience sake, i do my grocery shopping at home and have it delivered :D; i'm buying like more soups and salads, but can't resist the mac&cheeses though.....still drink 2% milk (lactose free); i do buy a lot of water though now...so i am improving, but could always more help
did you listen to the song?
Which song?
it's up there; the song that i wanted everyone to listen to from Donny Osmond...whenever you're in trouble (scroll up; it's there, which has instructions on how to get to the song)
warning though...it's a tear jerker
i wrote it at 12:01; and then another note at 12:04
I don't see the link. Can you resend it? I would love to hear! BTW, I know what I am doing up this early; what the heck are YOU doing up this early?!! :)
there wasn't a link...i tried to send one, but it didn't work; just type www.youtube.com in your browser
I HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST IDEA WHAT I'M DOING UP..my mind RACES at night for some reason..i just took an ativan though, so i should be getting tired in about half hour or so
I know, years of working at night has ruined me. I couldn't sleep through if I tried. Hopefully you are resting now...
Good Morning Everyone,
I should have came back and checked in with ya'll last night. I brought some homework to bed with me and afte a while "Porters Five Forces Model of Competition" which I am using to analyze the US Airline Industries...lost all of it's glamour and I moved on to crocheting:) and HGTV.
Angela,
I will have to check that place out...Sundays works better for me.
Stephanie,
Good idea with the cookies.
Brenda,
Nice healthy buzzes are good for the soul.
Kathi,
I will go to youtube and listen to the song, when I take a break from homework today.
Leighann...I'd love to read what you come up with on the airlines industry!!!!! ohhh sounds very interesting
REMEMBER TO VOTE TODAY!! our newest co worker broke an office no no....opened the can of worms..POLITICS ...so I signed on the blog LOL...scary in here!
Thanks Steph...I'm going to cut back on the bad and bring in the celery :) I'll need to figure out the daily sodium for me...I'm sure it's going to be somewhere in to low to lower end LOL
Hi Kathi! Loved the song you're talking about...I can just see you at that concert too.
Back to work.....Have a great day everyone!!!
Brenda,
I would love to read what I come up, too. LOL!
LOL...oh gosh...wishing you well through it all!
I found my pedometer..so this AM I have clipped it on for more motivation to keep moving...I'm going to take it off while in the gym though..
sounds like everyone saw the superbowl but me..i have heard about the commercials ..Steph I was not offended at all but i feel bad that you felt bad. We all struggle..since we are the only two smyrna members any time you wanna try a class together or work out!!
I am sorry I am really having a hard time keeping up tight now i have been dictating my blogs to someone else to post for me. I hope it gets better soon tomorrow I am driving to memphis to see what I can do about our adoption papers still not being her!1 Please pray!! congrats to everyone who lost and keep going anyone who did not lose this week we are all gaining from this group and support.
Crystal,
Hoping all goes well tomorrow...do you mind if I post your blog address under your name. I am going to do me and Brenda's, too. I think we are the only three with blogs. Oh yea, and Kathi, do you mind if I port yours?
Crystal...I'm sorry you're going through this lag time in the papers :( ...Hope it all goes well real soon!!
I'm off to walk at work..will walk now and then this afternoon break..then to the gym after work...not feeling as sore at this moment LOL but I'm sure it's gonna kick in..no more rest for the muscles today!!
Brenda, I peeked at your blog the other day. What a beautiful family you have!
Go figure... I get on the scale this morning and am back at my weight for LAST week. Makes no sense. So perhaps I didnt gain the 3 lbs I thought... oh well... then it will come off with this Sunday's weigh in.
Hope everyone is doing well...very busy now that im back to work. Hope to hae more time and energy later this week!!
Thanks Steph :) you're very kind!!
Even though they live at home and go to college/work...we're in a transitional empty nester phase...and it is very odd LOL...there used to be routines within our family dynamics...nope, no more ...it's all ,literally..in passing...or phone texts
BTW...I'd like to join Crystal in working out with you, even though I don't live in Smyrna...I could use a kick in the &$^#)%@
Tina...I hear ya about that scale...Hmmm what to do..what to do
you know what I wonder...how did I do better during the holidays, scale wise...then now..I just don't get it...
no, i don't mind if you post my blog under my name; it'd be cool to have everyone visit and leave comments. steph, i did rest well after taking the ativan...i got up probably 45 minutes ago.
Leigh ann feel free to post my address!! I am ging to try and walk before dance and karate!
Brenda and Crystal, I would love it if we could all get together and work out! That would be so much fun! It's too cold to run, so we would have to do a class. I miss them! I taught aerobics for about a year when my oldest was a baby, and I loved it. Actually drew a miniscule paycheck from it, and I had a blast! ;)
My legs are very sore today. It's funny how just adding a set or two of something different will get ya!
Tina, what the heck? That's crazy about your scale! Well, at least it's going in the right direction, huh! Maybe it was water? Hmmm....
Kat, I wish I could take something that would let me just sleep...unfortunately my home would be a smoking heap when I awoke, hours later! I don't even take Motrin. I am glad you got some rest. With that med, do you wake up refreshed or groggy? Just curious.
Tina,
I am hoping that the scale stays true to the positive. Oh yea, we did win - we are in first place, even when they finally post our first game.
Crystal, enjoy your walk!
Brenda,
I am eating your yummy salad you brougt over...thanks again.
Steph,
I hope your not too sore...pamper yourself.
Kathi,
Glad you go some rest.
Friday I am going to look into Yoga classes that may be closer to all of us..starting with the one Angela told us about.
Just worked out and I am fixing to hit the showers before class.
Ah, finished one account, finally, and now time to start the other. Just a bit more to do tonight, and I cannot wait to take a hot bath and have my tea. I am not too sore, just enough to know I did my lunges right.
oh great...it looks like comments aren't going through...
let's see if this one does...Kathi..is it ok if I link your blog to mine??
Brenda,
Hope you start having better luck with your posts...the other day I couldn't get anything up.
Stephanie,
Enjoy your tea, looks like you put in a long day.
Hey...another poster gets on..Hi Leighann!! No I had posted prior to before you and it didn't go through..very odd...the blog is very quiet tonight...well off I go too...I'll check in the AM :)
absoututely (no, i didn't misspell that..did it on purpose) brenda, you can link mine to yours
steph, when I FIRST wake up, i am foggy, but if i stay up and active, i'm fine. what's nice about ativan, is if i don't take another one tonight (which i am), i can sleep tonight; but i'd have to take another one tomorrow.
have you all voted today??
Oh girls. I am so nervous. We have had bad tornadoes across the state tonight, and apparently one of them caused an explosion at a natural gas plant about 40 miles northeast of Nashville. It's in the Hartsville/Westmoreland area, and I have people up there. My 80-year-old grandmother is in Portland which is adjacent, and my mom is up there too. The news said a lot of people are missing. I can't reach anybody. TEMA said flames were shooting 400 or 500 feet in the air. Help me pray, please. I am trying to work now because I may have to go up there later. It's still storming here, and I hope the power stays on and we are safe.
Oh, damn, steph...i will be praying for you; please, please keep us posted.
Well, at least the storms have passed now. About an hour ago, my kids were up, lying on blankets in the hall away from windows. We had hail and high winds, but thankfully no tornado near us. The closest one was about 15 miles away in Franklin. The baby was crying and kept saying, "wind!!". Pretty scary!
Still no word on my relatives. No new updates on more specifics from TEMA or local channels either. Thanks for the prayers.
are you going out/up there? do you know if crystal and gwen are ok? i'm really worried about crystal cuz she has to drive to memphis today...might end up giving her call this morning..in a few minutes, in fact
No, I haven't heard from Crystal and the only time I hear about Gwen is through Leigh Ann. I guess our county got by pretty light, because our schools are in and the ones in all surrounding counties are closed. Looks like it hit mostly west and north of us. Jackson, TN lost a college dorm. I finally reached my mother. They got about the same as we did. Lots of wind. I will have to wait a bit longer to call my aunt's house and find out about my little grandma. I hope we hear from Crystal. Memphis got it bad, too.
OMG!!!! What scary news going on!! Please...update
Geez,
I don't miss that! I am so glad that you guys are ok. Poor kids, I can see you guys all in the hallway. Hope all is well with your grandmother. I haven't heard from anyone...I will shoot them an email. Take Care.
Leighann...hope you get an update on everyone...and your house/yard is that ok??
What scary news to open the blog and read about...gosh
and Tori???????
Tori should be fine she's like 3-4 hours the other way...I emailed everyone...I am sure everyone is fine or we would have been contacted. That is so scary. I am guessing our house is ok, too. The property manager will give us a call if he needs to. Gosh, thats all we need! Stephanie, did the mercedes get any hail damage?
Just spoke to Tori and she is getting some of it now...not too bad right now.
Got through to my aunt. She saw about the fire last night on the news and my grandmother was okay after that, and she actually drove to her nursing home at 0500 to check her this morning, after the storms. What a night. I was afraid to call too early and wake her, but she hasn't been to bed.
Leigh Ann, I will drive by your house for a quick check when I pick up Jonathan today, although I am sure you would have heard if there was damage.
No, all cars are okay here.
Wow...sounds like great news all around then :) That was a long night you had Steph...glad it's over and hope you can get a good nap in :D
Yes, thank you. Paul spoke to his mom and dad and they are fine, too.
I JUST CALLED CRYSTAL ON HER CELL, ON THEIR WAY TO MEMPHIS; they're all fine; but she's hoping now that the office isn't closed (wouldn't be icing on the cake for them)...but all is fine with them; not sure about gwen though
Kathi..I see Crystal going right to that guys house if the office is closed...sorry to hear the load she's carrying
Leighann...the Valentines banner up top is really cute :)
I'll be off the blog until sometime this evening...hope everyone has a good day!!! Leighann you must give me an update on your girls and the movie yesterday...I can just picture them LOL
too exciting!!
lol brenda; actually so do i..she's got mama with her, she'll MAKE her do it.
YES, THEY LOVED IT! Dailen said her favorite part was...well, all of it! That's how she put it. FYI...Allison, Brenda's youngest daughter works at the Edwards here and got 3 free tickets to the Hannah Montana concert/movie thingie! They were so excited. Mackenzie wore her shirt and Rayna went, too!
ok; i'm off for a couple of hours...going to my first karate (taekwondo) class in about a year...please, Lord; let me have know no injuries
Enjoy Kathy...don't break a leg:) I just submitted my Research Project to the Internal Review Board at SDSU! Doing a little jig!
Good morning ladies,
I've been so busy. Last night I was just pooped out and didn't get on the computer. When I flipped on the news this morning I hopped on the blog earlier to check out if my new friends were okay. Thankfully, you all and your families have faired well. I didn't have time to jot a note until just now. The one visit many years ago to Kansas and having the alerts scrolling across the tv scared the heck out of me. Hopefully the worst is done.
Leigh Ann - thanks for the little gift! I've never seen bottles that size. I'm very excited to try it. I don't think I've tried the Duet before. I probably won't share either!! :o) Well, maybe. If someone's good. Probably won't be on Saturday night though - just before weigh in. I don't want to get another finger from the scale.
Tina- I think you missed all my whining last week about the stupid scale. Sounds like your scale, Brenda's scale and mine are part of the 'annoy the users' scale fraternity.
Leigh Ann - congrats on your submittal. I've toyed with the MS idea, but keep putting it off because I know the committment is big. Now Byron is getting real serious about it. Good luck on your defense. When do you have to do it?
Angela :o)
Angela,
Yes, enjoy! I will defend my portfolio the beginning of May - now I get to write the paper that I spent last semester preparing for...795A & B - tough. You should go ahead and do it, it is a huge committment but hopefully, it will have huge paybacks!
Amanda (and husband) and Leighann...WOW! clap clap clap....precious time and commitments :) you've earned those big paybacks that are coming your way!!! WTG Leighann on your research project :)
Kathi..have fun with those high kicks :D Sounds like great fun!!
Leighann...so glad the girls enjoyed the movie :D I was so excited for them !!!
I'm getting ready to leave work in a bit for the gym!!! sweat sweat sweat!!!!
Brenda..note to self: quit sneaking snacks and foraging in the evenings
Brenda,
Love the "note to self" ROF
yeah, you need to quit that (as i'm typing, i have food all over my keyboard hahahaha).
karate was excellent; felt so good to be back...i feel like a new woman now...and motivated again to walk my ass off
Hello ladies we just got home and I am tired but wanted to pop on and say thanks for all the thoughts praywers and phone calls today!
It was very humbling to drive through the destruction left by the tornado it kinda scared the kids and izabelaa kept saying i am scared of "tormadoes" lol They were so excellent and we are maybe just a slight step closer to our travel dates!! Please pray the papers come NOW!!!! if you want all the details just go to my blog!! I am off to take a hot bath and hit the hay..by the way steph we also had the BATHROOM fully prepared for the tornado food,water,cell phone, flash light batteries, pillows and blankets nothing like keeping four kids entertained in a small bathroom although sleeping in the tub had them cracking up!!
I put the food in then went after the other things and came back to the four of them having a picnic!! lol I said "that is for when we are stuck in here I am still preparing!! " ...love having kids!! how dull my days would be without them :)
Crystal...again, hoping for a quick turnaround for the paperwork! Enjoy your bath and rest!
Kathi...good for you on the class...your energy level reads very high :) go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
Crystal...What a day for you..I'll head over to your blog and see the updates!
Leighann...I missed your call due to the vaccuum..getting the guest room ready for Deb's visit on Friday...Now if my sign on the door works...no dogs...no kids on the bed!! LOL .....I hope you are able to rest too Leighann...I know you have a full plate...working towards your goal!!!
I hope all is well for Marci, Angela and Tina.. :) Will be looking for your updates :D
Ok, I'm really gonna lean on everyone for support this next six weeks...i'm catholic. the six weeks before easter is called Lent. We are preparing for Christ to be risen. Because Christ sacrificed so much for us, we must sacrifice something during this period. I'm gonna try like hell to give up smoking.I'M REALLY GONNA NEED YOUR HELP, GIRLS. gwen has also challenged me to stop..so I'm gonna ask for her help as well. Please pray that God gives me the strength to do this.
I am with you for support, Kathi. What a good thing for Lent, and also terribly healthy for you in general! :) You can do it!
Brenda, I love your blog. I really enjoyed reading about the "greenies" and "brownies" for compost. The gardening links are great!
Kathi,
Have you thought about asking your doctor for Chantix (which is what I took) or Wellbutrin and the patch (which Brenda took)? We have been smoke free since Memorial Day last year. Tina quit also using Chantix. Just a thought. Anyway you try it, you have my full support!
Brenda,
Sorry about my phone...
Good Morning, Stephainie - hope you guys were able to rest last night without the storms.
Kathi...I'm here for support...whatever you need..you let me know during this time...I do know...everyone is different in how they react during detox....but never quit trying :D
Steph...thanks for spending time on my blog :) I don't normally answer comments on my blog because I don't get alot of repeat traffic to the albums...heck, I don't get alot of traffic period LOL..but I do answer comments via email...so I'll send Leighann an email to forward to you :D
hey all....what do you all think about doing a vote to weigh in on Fridays instead of Sundays :D
Cool about the e-mail, Brenda. I will add you to my address book!
Weigh in on Friday probably would be better, because if you are at a deficit for the week and you find out about it on Friday, you are probably less likely to be bad over the weekend! Just a thought.
Let's just weigh in anytime between Friday and Sunday...that way everybody can do what is best for them and I can have everyone updated by Sunday evening.
sounds perfect for me....I would be one of those to become a deficit
by Sunday AM LOL...
I have increased my cardio now to 1 hour at the gym!!!!!!!!! then I walk 2x at work...and still trying to work in a nightime walk.... :D
It has to work!!!!!!!! I didn't snack last night...hard to work through those cravings...but I did it...busy cleaning, maybe that was the reason
Brenda,
Nicely done with the cardio and no snacking! Surely the scale will be tipped in your favor this weekend.
I don't know...it was only last night I didn't fall off the wagon....this AM ,darn Gary (work)said I earned a piece of cheesecake :( I believed him and had some ...I hpe in time the cardio helps...just started it 2 days ago...sigh...I read in a magazine...I'm adopting into my life...physical fitness is a 2nd job :D
Yes, I can see that! Damn Gary and his cheesecake!
Nice, Brenda! Tell your friend at work that you find his cheesecake offer HIGHLY offensive!
Wow, that fit state of mind sneaks up on you, doesn't it? It's an effort at first, then you find yourself looking for ways to squeeze in all of the activity that you can. Well, at least I do, but maybe I am just a jerk! :)
My computer at home has a virus or something, I need to haul it in to the shop....
we have been swamped at work so I haven't had too much time to get on the blog.
Everyone sounds like they are doing great with their goals!
Kathi, I'm Catholic..... I am giving up my beer!!! :) hopefully that will keep me focused and I can really drop some lbs....
Marci
Hey Marci,
Yah for no beer! Good Luck to both of you!
Thanks girl!
Marci
ps any new news????
Thanks girl!
Marci
ps any new news????
did you hear me the first time????
ha ha
I must have hit the button twice...
Marci
No, nothing...I am going to text Jamie in a minute...he doen't answer me half the time and if he does he is very vague.
keep me posted...
Jeanine is meeting me in Baton ROuge for KK's 4D ultrasound!
those are so neat.
How's school going???
Marci
Marci...great job on the no beer :)
baby nes too exciting!! I've never seen a 4d ultrasound ...sorry about your computer!!
Yes, Steph...I'm trying to get in cardio in every nook and cranie LOL...it's now my second job..or is it the third job..because home itself is a job LOL
Have a great afternoon everyone!!! I'm off to the gym :)
You go Brenda!!! You are my idol... stay motivated!
marci
Hey Ladies! How the heck is everyone? Geez... I miss you all. I cant get here enough lately. But i want you to know it isnt because i dont love ya all!
Leigh Ann - thanks for being such a great friend.
Brenda - I am very proud of you! WAY to go!! Angela, Byron and Yoga... hmmmmm.
To the rest of you wonderful women... HI! Miss you all... and good luck this week!
May the scale be good to us all!!! ha
Mike brought a laptop from work,
what a wonderful man! :)
I can get on a little later when the little monsters go to bed.
doing homework right now.
I have drank so much water today, its nauseating sometimes.... can you drink too much. is that possible?
Marci
who's jamie, leigh ann? because i took two ativan last night, i JUST got up a little while ago :( so, obviously, I haven't had anything to eat all day...i'm going to go grab some cottage cheese (those cottage doubles things that I LOVE)
Tina-
OMG! I am so embarrassed. For the record, I have never done yoga before.
Ladies-
Been real busy. Didn't get home with Maegan from softball until after 8pm last night. I had to get caught up on a couple of things and couldn't check in.
Went and paid big bucks for my every 4 wks of medium brown to be put on! Went from the salon to a funeral serivce of a long time neighbor that passed on Sunday. I've been hoping since I got up and finally stopped to grab something to eat about an hour ago.
Everyone's got soccer practice tonight so we are all going to be at the same place at the same time! Instead of enjoying some alone time at home, I am going to go to the field and jog away until I either drop dead or practice ends (most likely until I'm too pooped and wind up walking).
Brenda - I loved you're note to self last night. When my husband caught me staring blankly at the open cabinets last night (went right from work to sball prac so didn't get dinner) and asked me what I was doing, I told him I was foraging!
I like the weigh in as you can over 3 days and take the best of the three! Isn't that the way you meant it??! :o) What about adding up the total lost for all 3 days, or better yet can I multiply the lost amount by 3!? That works right?! haha You guys will never believe me if I'm down more than a pound or so this week or any value that you can multiply by 3.
Angela :o)
clap clap clap...bloggers are here...bloggers are here!!!
I need to remember people have lives and the blog isn't your life...that said...
Angela...poor you and the cabinet!!! you have been running everywhere...good stress burns calories too right...running around here and there
Marci....yea!! laptop :) I like the increased water too..I can't remember all the reasons so much is good...but I feel better for drinking it
Tina....hope all is well on your busy end... :) I agree...Leighann is a good friend :D
I'm burning calories this very minute...helping my brother type a resume....he's stressing me out..so I'm burning double ROFLMAO
Brenda you are too funny...
if stress made you skinny, I would be anorexic... LOL
I had just a sandwich for lunch, and I ate a lean burger on wheat bun for supper.
tomorrow will be hard, b/c of lent, I may try to find a grilled shrimp salad for lunch or do a slimfast.
Marci
Hi everyone, just made it home...yes, Brenda - you and your brother, resume = stress!n Poor you.
Kathi, Jamie is my brother.
Marci, tell Jeanine (my sister) I said hi...we NEVER talk.
Angela,
Who I just saw on the soccer field:) Great job on the working out.
Tina,
Thanks ahd so are you! Glad to here from you.
Trying to figure out if I am going to get any exercise done tonight. Survivor does come on in 20 minutes and I haven't even eaten. Paul is making us grilled shrimp salads:)
Hi all,
Just got off the exercise bike. I felt like I didn't even put a dent in what I had planned to do for exercise tonight. I was just downloading my heart rate monitor and notice I went almost an hour (I was interrupted for team admin questions). I'm surprised and happy I didn't look before I did half hour+ on the exercise bike. Had I known, I would have made a bee-line for the jammies!
Men! While I was doing my laps and had given up jogging (pot holes at Wagenheim are brutual)for power walking, one of the adult soccer players told me I wasn't working hard enough because I wasn't a sweaty mess! Like him! I know he was kidding with me and trying to be friendly but I really wanted to insert the soccer ball where it would be difficult for him to sit. Knucklehead.
I need to prep for tomorrow morning - shoes by the bed, dvd in, etc. It's Friday morning and it's been a very long, busy week so the likelihood of hitting the snooze instead of working out is high! Wish me luck!
Happy Friday to all, Ladies!
Angela :o)
Brenda & Marci,
I don't know about stress making you skinny! I've always said it makes you BEAUTIFUL! I believe that's why I look like a supermodel.
Angela :o)
Just got back from a store run. The little guy gave me the sad, puppy face. I caved, but I got a 'Love you Mom' note and a gift of 94%FF popcorn. Hey, it's a gift so I get to eat it. Anyway, Leigh Ann while I was out I did a quick glance. The fitness place next to Petco & Vons is "Being-Fit" fitness center. They have yoga, pilates, beginners program and other stuff. It is $19/mon, no initiation fee or contracts. There was some 2 for 1 thing advertised too. Anyway at $19/mon if you do two classes you are almost at the $8/class at the yoga studio downtown. Let me know if you check into it. I may be able to swing Sunday morning classes.
Angela :o)
Yoga classes at a studio...sigh. Alas, nothing like that here, yet. Still kinda small town. We are starting to get high end salon/day spas, though, where you get snubbed and refused service by a little Chinese gentleman with a tight ponytail, of "questionable orientation", because you roll in with a baby stroller! There were signs everywhere in there, telling people that you must remain quiet. Bunch of weirdos! That actually happened to me, ladies! He looked at me down his nose and said, "you need an appointment, and we don't allow babies". I said, "Oh, it's not for her". :) He didn't see the humor! Moms with strollers need spa treatments most! Mean people. I hope his little hole in the wall shop closes, real soon! ;) Great progress, for our little town! I am with Leigh Ann, who said when she gets back, we will put on some overalls and head in there with ALL of our kids, AND our "country boy" hubbies! :0
Maybe we will get more interesting fitness stuff soon!
Work schedule is brutal today. I hope I get to run.
that sounds hysterical, steph. i can just imagine you guys doing that, too.
Angela,
you are too funny!
Steph, you should have gathered all of your friends with little ones and went to an appt together!!!! a mommie and me appt!
Leigh Ann, I'll tell Jeanine, I think I talk more than she talks... she's always busy with work and home.... I guess b/c I work on the computer, I can always send a quick email or phone call..
my other sister in laws are like that too, they say "how do you find time to send an email?" I say, well shit, it only take 10 seconds.... it's not like an hour appt. LOL
Marci
I know, Marci, me too. I am on the computer all day, and tend to get impatient waiting for responses via e-mail! I forget that everyone else might be sleeping, or doing something else not computer-related! :)
My cousin and I go back and forth all day long... and if I'm busy I can be so much more productive at work.... sort of ADHD!
Steph, I too am impatient on responses on emails........
Marci
good morning busy bees :)
Marci...hang in there during Lent season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kathi...hang in there during Lent season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steph...I must see the video of you and Leighann going to the new spa back there...It would be the funniest, I'm sure!!!!
Angela....What a riot your life is LOL...those men!!!! That one guy at the gym who would just appear and I felt bad for fleeting...well he appeared again on the machine next to me...I was so ready this thime to be positive and cardio together...he was there on the machine all right...just there..the machine was not even on LOL...oh well!!
Leighann and Tina!! Have a great soccor night with goals and wins!!
And a great weekend up north Leighann!!! Tina...wishing you all the best~
Crystal...It's almost time for those papers...hoping your weekend takes your mind away from it all for awhile.......
I weighed in this AM...Leighann put me down for 2.5 lb loss...YES!
Will find out next Friday if this is a true weight loss since I normally weigh in Sun...I hope so!!! I'm not going back..forward..my BP isn't coming down yet....gonna give it another couple weeks with a stronger cardio
Will be off the blog for the weekend!! Will miss you all but I will keep my fitness and health a priority!! HUGS
Angela,
LOL...thanks for the yoga information and yes, Sunday would work for me, too. Chime in if you want to give it a try, ladies.
Stephaine,
Hope you find the time to run today with your busy schedule and I haven't forgotten about Rud Spa Guy.
Marci and Kathi,
Yes, could luck with Lent!
Brenda,
CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!
Hey LeighAnn... I can probably swing Sunday mornings too! Sounds great... I was thinking of checking that place out anyway... as I need more than what I have been doing now.
Angela - you crack me up girl!!
Brenda - AWESOME JOB!!! And i think you should come watch more soccer! hehe
Steph - PLEASE video tape the request for a mommie and me spa day! We can put the little uptight dude's face on Youtube! hahaha
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Brenda that is awesome. 2.5 wow!
I'm getting in the groove....
If I can overcome all the other obstacles in my life, then damn it I will over come weight! oh, and beer!!! LOL
Thanks for all the positive notes and feedback and what everyone is doing!
Marci
Marci - You seem to me to be an incredibly strong woman! You can do ANYTHING! You go girl!!
hello everyone I hope everyone is having a great friday!
Marci godd for you on the beer i bet it will help with the weight loss and it is awesome to give yourself another goal!
Kathi good for uou with the smoking you will feel so mcuh better once you quit!
all you ladies are doing a wonderful job!!
Hi Crystal,
Hope you have a great weekend!
All,
Enjoy the picture of Angela from the 5K Super Run - I love it! Very motivating!
Leigh Ann-
I didn't think you would be able to grab it. That's cool. Thank you very much for cropping out 'the lower half'! You are a true friend! :D I don't know about that Carlsbad 5000 in April - it probably means wearing shorts. Scary!
Ladies - Leigh Ann did a great job with the photoedit. You no longer see the old lady with the walker that I blew past! :o)
Angela :o)
LOL...you do not give yourself enough credit:)
Angela!
How wonderful and what an outstanding accomplishment.
Marci
WAY TO GO Angela!!!
I hear the ROCKY THEME in the background...na na naaaaa na na naaaaa na na naaaaa na na naaaaa... hehe
roflmas
Tina you are too funny....
Marci
LA, FYI...I did 22.6 miles this week. I am slacking, some. Getting bored running indoors.
thank you all for the encouragement during Lent; I'm gonna need it - not only will i feel better, but it'll save me money for vegas (which is another goal for me)
Angela that picture is awesome!! I cannot wait to run in the half marathon which is what I am trying to prepare for!!
Morning!! For those keeping track, the soccer team LeighAnn, Paul and I play on won AGAIN last night!! oh ya oh ya oh ya!! And... our own Leigh Ann had 2 goals... oh ya oh ya oh ya!!! And yours truly ... thinks she broke her finger... lol. Jammed it anyway... NO ANGELA - i wasnt in goal! haha
Just me... the ball, the wall, and a big girl from the other team. haha.
Have a great Saturday ladies!!
OH NO!! Tina, I told you, soccer is dangerous and should be left for the children! :o) I hope it's not broken - I spent 2 months rehabing that stupid wrist. And that was after the hard cast in record breaking heat (ie sweating inside the cast) and dirt ball fields. PU!
Hopefully it's not your Laughlin video slot machine finger!! :o) You should have waved it at me this morning. I would have thought you were giving me the salute! Of course I would have immediately turned around to see if my husband was standing behind me.
Now I need to go take a nap while I throw in some laundry. Been up since 6a on Sat to make sure I could get some jogging in before I did the day's running!
Have a great rest of the weekend ladies! I'm off for some zzzzzzz.
Angela :o)
Hi all,
We are in Victorville, which is a dustbowl! It is the home of the Route 66 Museum, though. It was 34 degrees when we got to the fields and 74 (if not hotter) when we left - I got sunburned, only packed clothes for cold weather...you know the deal. But,
I couldn't go all day without checking in...
Stephanie,
That is still impressive and I know with the weather you are getting stir crazy.
Tina,
I hope your finger is doing better...and you guys should have seen her play some defense - it was impressive!
Angela,
I still remember when you broke your wrist, ouch. I can't wait to play the slot machines, that's about all I know how to do. We will all have to do dinner up there.
Crystal,
What month is your run? Keep preparing, I have never had the nerve to even attempt it.
All,
I will do the tickers tomorrow...I weighed in today and have lost a little, 1.4 - so I am excited. I did well all day and not too bad at dinner. Grilled chicken, veggies, but I did have some bread and spinach dip. I will be here in the AM. We don't play until 1100.
hello everyone!
Leigh Ann, put me down for 2.4... I was really excited, I guess those beers hurt more thann help!:)
The 4 D ultrasound was awesome, she is so beautiful! It is amazing how clear those pictures come out.
I will send some pictures to Leigh Ann's email address and she can work her wonders on the computer!
I am going to the jewelry show in New Orleans in the a.m. so will do lots of walking... and buying....
Hope the finger is not broken!
Marci
Hey everyone...! Leigh Ann and Angela... the finger looks like SH**. Its purple and swollen. LOVE IT... war wounds!! We just got back from dinner, me,hubby and girls. had a steak fajita salad.. yum! Walk/jogged today for 50 minutes. Hope that I can get my laptop fixed so I can get to my workout again. 11 to 12 hours at work is NOT conducive to a slim figure!
Going to bed now... hubby worked and is tired... so IM gonna go snuggle. :o)
Marci... thank you! I doubt its broke... and even if it is, it will wait till soccer is over to be splinted... as i am NOT missing soccer over a finger! LOL
G'night all!
Crystal-
A half marathon! You are amazing. I'm still working on jogging the entire 5k before I move to a 10k.
Tina - You are one tough mother! What a warrior - playing through the injury.
Leigh Ann - 1.4 is NOT a little. That's a FANTASTIC number! And Marci -2.4! Wow! I want to see how tommorrow comes out. I checked today & Friday and was down a little more today. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning.
Leigh Ann & Tina, we will have to eat out. The all-you-can eat casino lettuce bar!? I don't think so! I plan on bringing my iPod and tennis shoes for some exercise so I can go to one of the buffets! Tina, I still remember the first soccer tourney in Laughlin we went to. Zach was playing and every time we went downstairs we saw you with your bucket at a nickel machine. It was too funny.
I laid down on the bed thinking I would grab a quick cat nap between laundry loads - I PASSED OUT for a good hour & half. I'm still tired.
I just mosied by my tax stuff pile and saw that my appt with my tax lady is THIS Monday! Not next Monday like I thought. I'll probably be on the computer all day tomorrow. Going to do some work on it in a couple of minutes. Marci - I'd rather be shopping for jewelry with you!
Angela :o)
Hi everyone! I know it's late everywhere but I had to check in and say H!! Steve and I rode 10 miles late this afternoon on our bikes...felt soooo good :D I've had company from out of town...working on some important upcoming events ....and also tomorrow will be spending the day celebrating Steve's birthday...but I had to check in!!! I read everything and am thinking about all of you!!!! We'll see next fri if the 2.5 I lost is for real...Hmm I'm not sure LOL
Angela..Your picture is beautiful and I aspire to be so focused ...like you :) thank you Leighann for getting that pic on the blog!
Tina..you took something real bad for the team LOL..damn, I missed it!!
Steph...it's winter...go back to where I did a comment and added a link..it's about some videos you put on and you run on the treadmill like you are somewhere else LMAO.....I sooo feel for you..I can't live somewhere where winters are indoors :(
Kathi...I'm sooo rooting for you...I'm still rooting for Leighann and I on the no nicotene..Not only will you feel better as Crystal said...but you will have increased your life expectancy :D it's so hard, I know....but do it!!!!
Marci...you must share that 4D picture!!!! I'm not family but I need to see it LOL
Leighann..I'm so very excited on your loss for the week!!! damn...I know it's hard....and it is HARD!!
I miss you my friend :)
Way to go, everybody, on the losses this week. Oh no, Tina! The finger sounds painful! I couldn't do contact sports. Would not be able to work if I broke a finger. I have to protect my hands so I can keep typing and my kids can keep eating (kidding). I have to stick with my running. If I blow out a knee or something, I can prop my leg and keep on workin' :)
I was looking for some inspirational stuff to motivate me yesterday, and happened upon Steve Prefontaine on Wikipedia. Anyone remember him? Well, I was a baby when he died, (car accident at 24 years old..very sad!!) but I heard his story when I was a teenager. He had records that are still in place for long distance running. I was reading to my husband about his times, and he wanted to try some of them! Must think of him tomorrow on my treadmill.
I will be glad when we can venture out with the jogging stroller!!
Hey All:
In the November, 2003 issue of Oxygen Magazine, there is an article that discusses the hyponatremia issue again (water intoxication we talked about). They list a link where you can go and determine your individual hydration needs. They recommend never exceeding 800 ml per hour (FYI: a half gallon is 1892 ml.)
The link is www.usatf.org, and complete their Self-Testing Program for Optimal Hydration.
For anyone who wants this...everybody have a good day.
thanks for that, steph; gosh, i can't even come close to drinking more than half a gallon in an hour (although I have done it once)
keep your fingers crossed..i weigh in later this morning
good luck at the tourney in the morning, leigh ann; victorville's pretty cool - depending on where you are
I did 3 miles this morning, hard as I could, and here are my times:
Mile 1 - 9:15
Mile 2 - 8:46
Mile 3 - 8:20
Actually started to run out of steam about the 3/4 mile mark on third mile, and really had to dig to finish. Just had a cup of watermelon pre-run. I think I need some pancakes or something next time.
It was fun to push.
GO, PRE!!! :)
Steph, gosh, I wish I was as motivated, I am sure once the lbs start coming off more I will have a lot more energy... slowly but surely...one day at a time....
I was excited for my loss.... and next week will be fantastic!
Lots of walking today...
I bought a big brown/pink polka dot diaper bag and a small one for church... 3 baby bracelets, a little neclace with a cross and a pacifier holder (all in sterling silver) and a little dress... :)
For myself--steph you will love this.... My husband told me if someone pisses you off and you want to tell them to F*** off or kiss your a**.... instead smile and say" Well, Aint that nice!"
There was a booth with a black shirt that had written in hot pink
"Well, Aint that nice! " I bought it!!!!!!! he said that away when his mom pisses me off to just tell her that!!!!
LOL
Marci
Everyone had a great week!
Brenda, I will email the pictures to Leigh Ann tomorrow from work.
I cried when that little baby was on the screen... so sweet...
Marci
