Leigh Ann said...

Thats two quotes now from you...you could write commercials or cards for Hallmark!

Your goals sound great!

Noboyz said...

Yes, I am a Hallmark card "waiting" to happen!!!

LOL

just have to be wise by myself!!!

Noboyz said...

Anonymous said...

good morning :) It's Monday and a great day to get focused on our priorities for good health!! I'm highly motivated!!

Tina said...

Happy Monday Ladies!!!! Brenda - I wanna hit the gym today...are you game?

Anonymous said...

Hey Tina!!! The only time I'll be home is Weds ..so I can go then, if you can...the other days, I'll be on the ball walking at work, for sure...and if I get home early enough, other nights, I'll walk the neighborhood... :)

Tina said...

I can do wednesday!!

Darn... Fred working OT tonight so I guess I will skip it for tonight... we will see.

Anonymous said...

great..what time do you want to go on Weds??

that's too bad about today's gym... maybe you can do core and floor exercises at home tonight?? and walk in the park?? :) I have to MAKE myself walk tonight LOL...I should be home at 8:30...I have chores at home right after work before I head out again, so I know I won't have time for exercise until I get home again

Just walked on AM break here at work :)

Tina said...

I can always use the eliptical in my living room... its just not as fun. haha.

Weds. should be around 5:15 ish... girls have soccer camp that starts at 5:00 so after I drop them off i can swing by and get you? Let me know!! Fred might go with us too... so if Steve wants to go... be sure he knows he is invited. :o)

Anonymous said...

Tina...for Weds...perfect...as for Steve, he'll be teaching after the day job so he won't be home

Kathi said...

HI GIRLS!!! Boy, did I miss you guys...but Marci and Brenda said that I (I was going to anyway today) should come on and fill ya'll in on the trip.....so here I are :)

Can I just say....OMG! What a FANTASTIC show that was. It took about six hours to get there (with two stops) and we went straight to my Godmother's place, because we couldn't check in until 2. The first night, we ended back in the room about 9:30 b/c I had been driving all day and was EXHAUSTED. Our room was in a sucky location because we had asked for two beds in the disabled room, so we got a view of the back of the hotel (I did complain about that when they sent me a survey); but it really wasn't bad, b/c we got to walk through the Promenade (bunch of little shops and restaurants). Day 2 consisted of going to casinos, obviously and a lot of walking around during the day. We had to get back early though b/c we were meeting up with a friend of mine for dinner that I had met on Donny.com and then went to THE SHOW, which as I stated up top, was just AWESOME. It was so cool to see Donny/Marie up close and personal, instead of always on TV. Donny came out into the audience, but not in our row :(; he only made it to the third row, which was three down from us. When they first came out, they did all their "new show" stuff, Marie did a set of her songs, Donny did his and they did all their hits together (that they did in their show in the 70s) and then it was over :(. It was a very action-packed hour and a half show. Went by MUCH TOO FAST, if you asked me. If we had known where the stage door was, we would've gotten autographs, but oh well. We stayed up that night until 2 in the morning (only night we really stayed up that late). Day 3, we absolutely DID NOTHING. We didn't even get out of the room until noon. We did have to go back to the NY NY and cash in some tickets (played of course), but then we walked back over to the MGM and I did get to talk for a few seconds with Donny's personal assistant, but that was it. Then we went to downtown to see the Fremont St. Experience (having dinner at McDonald's) and played again at some of the casinos down there. Renee won $112 at Fitzgerald's down there...I tanked, as usual. Got a short video of Fremont St. on my cell phone (I'll email it to you, Leigh Ann) and some pics. We got back to the hotel that night around 11:30, stayed up for a little while longer and played in "our" casino...I finally went up around 1:00am; and she came up at 2(I was already fast asleep); Last day, we got up early, packed up, packed the car, went to a breakfast buffet and left around 1:00pm. We went to my aunt's in Apple Valley on the way home, stayed for about an hour and a half, then came home. I got in the door about 9:00 (after dropping her off and unpacking her stuff out of the car). AND THAT'S THE TRIP.

Now, are we on new goals for this blog? I've read a little of what you all were talking about, but not everything. Fill me in on all the new stuff that's going on around here, please.

Leigh Ann said...

Kathi,
Wow - what a trip! I am so glad that you had a good time:)

Tina and Brenda - you guys both sound extemely motivated! WTG.

Some of us are making new goals or revising our original goals and if we reach those we are going on a blogger girls trip...maybe to Vegas!

We still have some stuff to work out for it, but we will keep you posted.

Noboyz said...

Kathi!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW....
how exciting.. too bad Donny didn't come running around the corner!!! that would have been the best!
Nice to be able to stop and see your Godmother as well and visit with your aunt...
Can't wait to see the pictures...
thanks for blogging!!!

Hey girlies....

Doctor went good.. a litte change of plans.. did do my bloodwork though....
"the sleeve" is too New and my insurance carrier won't cover...
now I'm faced with
Big Boy.. that I'm scared of...
or
the lapband (which I think is what I am leaning on.)...
The doctor was phenomenal... very itelligent, put me at ease... hewas informative and knowledgeable... so I think within 2 weeks I will be having my surgery...
Please don't think I am taking a "cop-out".... I just need medical means to help me succeed..
I have no metabolism since my hysterectomy and thyroid problemsin my family...

Love you all!
Marci

LA, I texted a little with John Mark today... he was doing great, Miranda isready for school... :)

Leigh Ann said...

Marci,
I think your plan is great - I am all for some medical intervention. So, we will leave your stuff as it is for now?

Nice to hear John Mark (my brother) is good:)

Noboyz said...

yes, just leave my ticker as a 25 lb ticker. and then as I loose I will change... but start with 25...
I have to do at least 4 days a week of some sort of excercise...
but I am hoping... as I lose and my energy increases... it will be 7days a week... :)
small steps make long journeys... remember??????
that was another one of my "hallmark" moments... LOL

Leigh Ann said...

Yes, I remember! Are you excited about it? And what is the timeline as far as weight loss?

Noboyz said...

I am so excited.... and scared at the same time...
I will end up being the "first" bariatric patient at Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge... all other have been performed at the Lady of the Lake...
maybe I will be a "poster child" lol

the low down....
the doctor was "shocked" by my actual weight...he said I had alot of muscle mass... which was great... normally "obese" patients have fat mass....
I used to be 5'5 1/2 inches... I am now 5'3"... my scoliosis has taken its "turn" on my spine.. I have a curviture in 3 places...
I'm hoping the surgery and weight loss will eliviated the back pain.. and I can concentrate on those"excercises" as well to correct my spine...

The doctor said, I could lose from 30 lbs to 80 lbs... it's entirely up to me, my outlook, my drive and my support group....
hello, support group.. no problems there....
my outlook and drive... I'm so ready!!!!

I talked to a lady today at the doctor she had it done 3 years ago... has lost 85 lbs... just recently had a baby.. soback for a
"fill"....
they inflate saline solution in the "band" to make your stomach smaller...

Tina said...

Hey ladies!

Yes LA... I am MOTIVATED!! I want to lose this weight so I can meet with my blogger girls!!!!

Marci - I say you do what you need to do to feel good about YOU. THATS NEVER a cop out! EVER... and you just let me know if some one even IMPLIES it might be and Ole Tina will be forced to kick some A** !!

Love ya all!!

Noboyz said...

Thanks Tina... you are a wonderful friend....
Hey hey, I'm ready for Vegas!!!!
this booger girl is there.... LOL

Tina said...

Think about it... Me, Brenda, Rima and Kathi... driving to vegas... picking you and LA and Steph up at the airport... and HITTING THE STRIP!!! whoooo hoooo... there would be NO STOPING us hotties!!!

Noboyz said...

oh how fun....
yes.... I will meet them at the New Orleans airport..... and all of us will head out together....

Tina said...

WHEEEEEEEEE!!

Well...off to watch some TV till Fred gets home... *sigh*

G'night Ladies!!

Noboyz said...

Kathi said...

I CAN MOST DEFINITELY DO ANOTHER VEGAS TRIP!!!! Gotta start saving again (as of right now, I have $1.45 in my checking account); HEY, Donny and Marie are going to be at the Flamingo from Sept-March....I know that for sure (LMAO); but I'd love to go and see Blue Man Group

Haven't decided on new goals yet, LA; I'll let you know though.

Kathi said...

And OMG, Marci; if Donny had come up to our row... I think I'd wet myself

Noboyz said...

Love it Kathi!!!
I am by myself in my living room and laughing out loud.. and the dog is looing bewildered at me...LOL

KK, Sam and Mylee are on their way home....

My aunt who is the nun... said she is doing "double time praying" for the ones who don't realize the blessing from God....
it's working.....

Anonymous said...

WOW So much news to read tonight :)

Kahti..what a great time you had!! Loved your details!!!!! :D Readjust your goals to your fitting

Marci :) Congrats for doing what you need to do for you..how can that be a copout?? I say copout is doing nothing for yourself and making excuses :) You are doing the opposite!! WOOHOO!!

I'm allowing myself SUGAR on Monday nights...only...Tina, is there sugar in the margarita mix?? Hmmm must think about that LOL But I did walk twice at work and my tonight walk didn't pan out do to some important emails I had to tend to...dammit! BUT, I'm on for 2 walks at work tomorrow and hopefully...at night :)

Leighann...how are you holding up on your end?? Love you!

Kathi said...

Bren, have you heard from your brother? How's he liking trucking school?

A bit of bad news to report...my dad found out that he has a blood clot in his leg; guess his leg had been bothering him this past weekend and it had gotten worse yesterday, so my sister took him into ER...they were just gonna send him home with cellulitis; THANK GOD my sister had insisted on them doing an ultrasound (and telling them that her sister had a clot also); so he's on Coumadin and some injections, for a week (just the injections are for a week, to get his blood thin enough to be on the Coumadin on a "maintenance" type thing)...he'll be on the Coumadin for six months

Stephanie said...

Hello everyone...I have been away for a while and now am trying to read and catch up. Wow....lots going on! Kathi, I am glad you had a great trip and you are home safe! I hope your dad is okay!

I talked to an OM at a facility in Apple Valley about some possible work the other day! It would be done remotely, of course! Just the name "Apple Valley" sounds quaint, like out of a novel...

Brenda and Tina, I love all of this talk of rallying and working toward new goals! You two crack me up with the margaritas! Do you think there is a recipe for a celery or carrot margarita? BLECK!! Ha! Just wouldnt be the same w/o the sugar!

Marci, I am so happy that you are going forward with steps for your health and well-being! Gosh, I told you, I have a friend who did the lap band and after a year she actually said she was considering having it reversed! She is a very sweet, (short-statured...she is 5 feet, 1 inch!!) lady who was so sweet to me. She was so excited when she found out I was pregnant with Ansley, and when I showed her the sonograms and told her it was a girl, that's all she talked about! :) She lost 102 pounds in 18 months. She literally looks like a different person, and she says her energy is amazing, like a tremendous weight has been lifted off of her, and I told her that's cause it has! :) You have nothing but support from me!

Leigh Ann, how is Pensacola? Does it rain a lot? Maybe we can all visit some time. It would be nice for you to not have to do all of the traveling to see your people! Are you falling into a "groove" with your new job? Did you say you might have a room mate?

Stephanie said...

Ahhh...I tried a new cream to put on my sore wrists after work/workout, and that stuff is LETHAL. The active ingredient is capsaicin, which is the stuff in hot peppers, and it is great on my wrists, but I CANNOT get it off of my hands! I have washed and washed, but I still feel it on there, and I am terrified to touch my face! I feel like going out in the yard and dragging my hands in the grass! :) Time for some latex gloves, next application!

Kathi said...

Yeah, Apple Valley is a nice little community now. When my aunt and uncle first moved there 20+ years ago, it was NOTHING; but it obviously has grown quite a bit; the only thing is IT IS THE DESERT and does get very hot there in the summers. But what facility were you thinking of "working out" of? On the way back from Vegas, as I said, we stopped there; it was frickin hotter there than it was in Vegas when we left.

Kathi said...

OH STEPH, YIKES; I bet that burns BIG TIME

Kathi said...

LA, I just sent you the short video of the Fremont St. Experience to your cell; maybe you can post it up here?

Stephanie said...

Good morning, Kathi. It was St. Mary in Apple Valley.

Noboyz said...

Thanks for the support girls!

Steph, good to see you back on the blog.... :)

I celery/carrot margarita sounds disgusting!!!

Brenda, if you have heard from your brother, what's going on?

Tina, I can't wait for the booger girls trip! We need to set a tentative goal date.... and about what time of year....

Leigh Ann, whats going on over there?

Leigh Ann said...

I am at work - I feel like I am in high school and am smoking in the bathroom...lol...everyone knows when I am on my laptop I am NOT working...will try to talk more at lunch after I work out.

I am going to go now before I get caught:)

Tina said...

OMG!!! Leigh Ann that is WAYYYY Funny!! and so totally the way i feel when i check the blog from work and some one walks into my office!! hahaha

Good morning everyone! Back to work i go!!

Anonymous said...

Hello all...I was almost crushed this morning...the blogger site was blocked from my work computer!!! I'm back in...fingers crossed :) that it's only a temp thing!!

Hey Steph!! Glad to see you back...oh my...your hands!! Reminds me of Tina's skunk hands after her experience :(

Should we shoot for spring?? for our reunion?? Or is that too soon?? But then again...those with little ones should really be the ones working the dates out :) not me LOL

I'm really going to focus...my gut has grown!!! I see it in Tina's pics on her blog...I think my 2 pound weight loss was from me taking an extra water pill (one of my blood pressure pill)Saturday night partying with Tina....I was really puffy and I knew I was going to have salt on my margarita...so that weight loss was WATER for sure...What's worse is my husband is calling me Betty..LOL my mother is Betty and he thinks I'm looking like mom...chubby...especially in the face.... :(

My brother update...don't know how he is....I think I'll call the hotel tonight and try to reach him...he's suppose to graduate this Friday....hope he goes right onto the road from school, Tina, otherwise, I have to go pick him up Friday night...and then he would await his assignment at our house (I think)

OK...work work work

Anonymous said...

PS....when talking about me picking up my brother possibly Friday and referred to Tina...it was because I'm suppose to get together with her Friday...and I hope it still works out that way :)

Stephanie said...

Whew, Brenda...you scared me. The first line of your entry said you were almost crushed this morning. :)

I know, girls. My husband walks in and catches me blogging, and says, "ahem!!". He knows no work is being done at that particular moment. What a slaver! :)

Tina said...

Brenda... You just tell Bennett if he messes up our Friday night, I will have to hurt him! (hehehe) I am looking forward to hanging out with you!!

Anonymous said...

LOL...That's funny Steph...darn him...we do need our breaks ya know...our fingers and hands need down time :)

I know Tina...I'm hoping he goes right on the road :) I'd like to see the guy but ...it's time to work :D And we do have plans made LOL :D

Kathi said...

Steph, I had a feeling it was St. Mary's, as it's really the only hospital in Apple Valley; that's actually right down the street from my aunt's; let me know if you ever do come out here and have to go up there; I can give you directions on how to get there.

Bren and Tina, is Friday a soccer game? Can I go?

Tina said...

No soccer on Friday Kathi.

Leigh Ann said...

Hi all,
Well, lunch is over and I wasn't able to get on the blog...I have ready everyone's post, though.

We really do need to work out some things for the new challenge:

Who all is doing it? I have me, Tina, Brenda and Marci so far. But, I say everyone regardless.

When will it began and end?

Are we doing Vegas first? Or do we want to vote?

When are we going, like Brenda said...

No rush, just think about it...I know I had said we would start Aug 1st, but do we? I am still trying to figure out how I am going to manage it, because I don't want to mess up our chronological weeks - it's great history...I may start a challenge blog with Tickers all on that page so everyone could see where everyone is at - at a glance...any ideas?

OK, back to work!

Kathi said...

I think I'm gonna challenge myself to get out of the house more and exercise; not go hard core like I was (cuz that's where all my probs started, I think), but just to get outside for fresh air (I do have my window open constantly)

My input for this thing...

I say since everyone's "kind of" excited bout doing Vegas, I say VEGAS, BABY...I say let's do it in spring; that way we can do it before it gets too hot and miserable (and NO I'm not just saying this b/c D&M are still gonna be there....lol); let us cali gals rent a minivan and we shall do this.....*Kathi passes the "speaking stick" on to another so she may have her say

Anonymous said...

I'm too scared to think right now
:( THE EARTHQUAKE SCARE ME :(

Kathi said...

What earthquake? I didn't feel anything

Kathi said...

I turned on the news right after you said that, Bren; we're all fine here (didn't even feel it here), including my aunt in a.v. and cousin that works in chino hills; another cousin was under her desk at work, but she's fine

Anonymous said...

What a trip...I'm on the 3rd floor at work and we felt it for a long time...maybe 30 seconds and it was strong!! They are interviewing people all over town, of course...there are places, like Mira Mesa that didn't feel it...etc..but it tripped me out LOL

Glad to hear your family is ok!!

Leigh Ann said...

Glad everyone is ok...Tina, Rima...hope you guys are good.

Oh, Brenda! It would have freaked me out bad!

Tina said...

Oh I am in mira mesa and I felt it... but im on the top of a 2 story building. I called my kids...they felt it "some" (as a teenage girl would say)

I thought it was kinda cool!!

Kathi said...

Got me thinking of some water I'm gonna buy and put in my storage closet

Kathi said...

I'm on the bottom floor of my complex...maybe that's why I didn't feel it

Noboyz said...

I just saw about the earthquake!!!!!!! Scary, but yes, I am sure cool....

I don't like the devastation of earthquakes and hurricanes and tornadoes... but like the weather portion... if that makes sense... cool to see...

Leigh Ann, anything you decide to do with the tickers and bloggers I am sure will be great! Yes, I don't want to lose the history either... and the doctor I went to yesterday I was actually down 2 lbs..
and didn't know it... I haven't gotten on the scale seriously lately...
oh, and do a vote and lets see everyone would rather..

I just want to run out of this damn office!!! so busy... crazy.... busy....

Tina said...

I agree with Marci, LeighAnn... anything you decide to do will be wonderful! Do what you have time to maintain.. and what you think is fun... the rest of us will love what you put together

Leigh Ann said...

Hi all, don't know how long I will be on tonight...forgot my battery charger! UGH!!!

Kathi said...

I'll go with whatever also, I guess. Now, are we just doing a "blogger" trip, with no kids, or are there going to be kiddies with us? If kiddies are coming, Circus Circus (Vegas) might be the place to go since they have the Adventuredome...there are other places also that are kid-friendly there, but like I said, I'll do whatever

LA, can you have Paul overnight the charger to you?

There's also Laughlin for us "booger people"

Leigh Ann said...

No kids...Please no? LOL...

Kathi, the charger is at work, I will get it tomorrow, but its fixin to go. DAMN IT!

Talk to you guys tomorrow. I did get all the tickers updated and I started the challenge page - see the top of our page.

Kathi said...

LOL...

Oh, I thought you left it back in TN

I'll start saving now, but I'm just worried that I won't have enough to go anywhere else, other than Vegas or Laughlin (I had a little over $700 for Vegas, but had to keep dipping into it, because I had always run a little short each month for food)

Tina said...

No pressure Kathi... if you cant afford to go.. you cant afford to go... we all understand that completely. Ok?

LA - I agree... NO KIDs! haha. Well I went to the gym... did 35 minutes on the eliptical for 280 calories.... and a couple sets of crunches and my tricep weights... Tomorrow...its me and BRENDA and the gym!!! YAY

Kathi said...

I'd like to go though, Tina, wherever it is (unless it's a cruise to the Carribbean or something...lol; than I'd have to bow out probably)

Leigh Ann said...

Good Morning,
The trip shouldn't be anything too expensive...

WTG with the gym Tina:) And Brenda tonight!

Anonymous said...

Hi all :) Hope everyone has a good day!! Hey Tina...I am on for the gym but will have to meet you there since I have to go to the commissary afterwards...I was suppose to go on Sunday BUT LOL

I went to this cool coffee house last evening, for a meeting, in Carlsbad and they had the coolest thing on the wall...for the regulars (and there are alot) there's a peg board that has their own mugs!!!!!!!!!! They bring in their own and keep them there on the board :) It had this toally relaxed setting...everyone doing something...on their phones, playing chess, laptops..LOVED IT!

Tina said...

YAY Brenda!!! I am looking forward to going. I am gonna try to get outta here by 3:30 - and if i can... since fred doesnt want to go... we can go as soon as I get home and changed - then he can drop the girls at soccer camp. Oh... and I have to run over to the commissary too... need to get coffee. :o)

Anonymous said...

oh great Tina :) I'm outa here at 2:30 and will go home to change..make my grocery list and just wait for your call to go :)

darn Ben, he didn't call me back last night...I think I'll call him around 9pm, that way, maybe he'll be in the room to take the call...yesterday I left a message on the room phone...poor guys probably don't know they have a message blinking at them

Tina said...

Darn Ben!! Kick his ole butt Brenda!! :o) hehehe

Leigh Ann said...

Hey girls,
Must go get some lunch I am meetinged out today!

Kathi said...

We will probably vote on the trip...I don't think we are going to be ready by Sunday...
Participants:
Leigh Ann
Tina
Brenda
Marci
Kathi(?)

And, I am assuming no for:
Stephanie
Rima
Crystal - I did tell her about in when I emailed her happy birthday wishes earlier.

And remember, you don't have to participate...just if you are I need your goals so that I can make tickers or some other tracking device:)

I have already packed my charger, so I will talk to you guys tonight.

Noboyz said...

Hey girls!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL!!!!

End of the month... very busy.... getting paperwork pushed off the old desk....

Stephanie said...

I don't know if I will be able to participate in the blog trip...too many factors, but probably the deciding one will be that my "personal assistant" will have to come along! She simply can't be without me and she is a bit young yet for cocktails! But I am with you guys for the ride up until then. :)

Anonymous said...

That's cute Steph :) Gosh...that's too bad...but you are the mom and knows who can/can't care for the little one :)

Hope to be online tonight... :)

I hear ya Marci...end of the month UGH!! running out the door now to ready myself for the gym then t buy groceries :D

The Johnson Family said...

okay I going to have to try and catch up on the comments!! Leigh ann thanks for the birthday wish!!! i am sorry i have been so out of it this lastcouple weeks working and gettign ready forthe kids to go back to school. I am down .5!!! I ope you are all well!!!

Noboyz said...

congrats on being down crystal, and anyone else..
fixing to head to the pool to do my exercises...

Brenda! grocering!!!yuck!!

will post later

Steph, I learned to finally leave mine at least 1 night.. mom's need breaks, and dad's can do it given the chance.. :)
I'm sure a break is needed

Leigh Ann said...

Crystal, you are welcome! Hope you had a great day. Where are the kids going to school?

Marci, nice job on the pool and the exercing.

Tina, thanks for the sweet email today:)

Brenda, hope the grocery shopping goes smoothly.

Steph,
I understand about the trip...

Kathi said...

Yeah, Steph, you can surely leave her for one night; she'll be fine; so will you

Stephanie said...

I would love to think John and Jonathan would be okay if I left Ansley with them, but it would be traumatic...I can't even leave her to go to the gas station down the street without her screaming until I come back. She is in an extremely mommy-clingy stage right now and I don't necessarily hate that.. :) Not to mention, there are other day-to-day operations that depend on me...I just don't think it would be wise for me to take off! I wouldn't be able to enjoy the time away for worrying. I hope that doesn't sound lame...

Noboyz said...

nope totally acceptable Steph,
I guess b/c my oldest is 19... I've learned that others "can replace" me for a short term... and its ok... I get my break...

you do whats comfortable for you..

I did EVERYTHING with the first two... and let Hubby 2 learn and do with the second 2.... and he does wonderful.......
and I get breaks..

Tina said...

Just got back from the gym with Brenda. Thats 3 days so far this week if you count Sunday in THIS week!! YAY!! There is muscle under this fat somewhere... I just KNOW there is!! LOL

Leigh Ann - you are so very welcome... love you so much!!

Marci - I know what you mean
girl!

Whatever works for you Steph! You are the only one that can know your family! :o)

I, personally, cant imagine not having been able to count on fred to run the household without me. I travelled with work and that would have been impossible if i hadnt been able to count on him. I left my 8 yr old son and 5 yr old twin daughters for 10 days to go to the Philippines to do training. NOw.. HE DOES ALL THE LAUNDRY because he CAN!!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!! :O)

Noboyz said...

Tina, I am with you....
MB does it all, changes diapers, bathes kids,homework, clothes, dishes, grocery shopping, etc....
ANYTHING......
:0)

:O)

:O)

Woooooo Hoooooooo MB....

and sometimes I hear complaints whn I get home, and I say, Mommie was not here and I cannot change what happened... BUT I Love You!!

Leigh Ann said...

Yes, breaks are good!

Talk about giving up control...going thru that right now. And it is not easy, but they are doing great - we are doing great!

Leigh Ann said...

I love that...can't change, BUT I love you...I will have to remember that.

Tina said...

I am always the bad guy... so I dont hear the "dad said..." or "dad didnt let us...." or any of that... ha

Leigh Ann said...

Meant...can't change THAT...what you, Marci, said earlier.

Leigh Ann said...

LOL...Tina.

Tina said...

I always loved the way you and Paul worked together LA... with your girls, especially the little ones... it was fun to watch. Love those sweetie pies and OH HOW i miss them!!!

Leigh Ann said...

Thank you!

...So, when ya'll coming to visit?

Tina said...

Not soon enough for ME!!!! Dammit it anyway!!!

LoL

Bother ole Fred... harrass him into submission... I know you can do it if you make up your mind to it!!! :o)

Leigh Ann said...

Does he not like to travel?

Tina said...

Oh he doesnt mind... we just dont do it often. His family leaves in Illinois... and we have been back to see them TWICE in 10 years... *sigh*

Tina said...

Thats SUPPOSED TO BE "LIVES" in Illinois... *sheesh*

Leigh Ann said...

You don't have to translate for me - HAHA.

I am going to have to talk to him:)

Gotta go to bed...talk to you tomorrow.

Good night Girls!

Noboyz said...

hey....

hopefully we can make a road trip soon.... :)
trying to get to the wedding this weekend.....
don't know if we will even make it.. so much going on...
and supposed to be my parents 50th anniversary... and the mass is for my dad that passed away 7 years ago...

Kathi said...

We knew what you meant. That's so freaky that he's from the same "town" as my aunt (who, by the way, is still doing amazing with the treatments; she did have surgery to "insert" like a port-a-cath near her collarbone, so it'll be easier to give her the chemo; but when she has the radiation, it kicks her butt - I called her on her birthday a couple weeks ago and she sounded really tired - but her kids come and help clean the house, do cooking for them...my uncle's not well either, so he's limited on what he can do - but they have some of the greatest kids and grandkids in the world; they take very good care of their parents)

Kathi said...

Marci, why are they having a mass for your dad NOW? I thought masses are done when someone passes, not years later

Noboyz said...

My mom does masses all the time...
but this would have been their "50th" wedding anniversary this Saturday.. so she did a special mass...

Noboyz said...

it also happens to be "Tarra's" wedding... Leigh Ann and I's niece....
so just hard to be in two places...
we will probably make the mass and then go to the wedding... and miss the supper with my family...
I see the ones I want to all the time... so no biggy...

Kathi said...

Oh, duh; my mom still has masses said for both my grandmothers as well; and her sil, and I think one of her deceased brothers (she had five altogether; two remain)...I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the funeral mass

Stephanie said...

You girls are making me jealous with all of the good hubby talk! Ha Ha! Just kidding...mine is a good one, and he honestly tries, but he just isn't really great with the small babies...I guess some men are, more than others. He won't even hold someone else's small baby. He has been a lot more "hands-on" with Ansley. At least he changes diapers this time! I swear, he changed exactly 2 with Jonathan; one wet and one stinky. What a meanie...now I see why I was so depleted...which is why we are not having any more! :) I don't think I could do that alone again...I am getting too old! Being the boss is not fun! :( It's terrible on your complexion and it makes your boobs droop! Pant! Fret! :)

I have to let John be around Paul as much as possible, to see how the other men do things and are still men! Whew...when he scrubs the heads...totally hot! When he cooks dinner AND cleans up afterward...I am looking around for Ed McMahan! :)

Tina, maybe you can talk Fred into coming in soon...we would love to meet you two!

Kathi said...

LOL Steph, about the complexion and the boobs...too funny. You honestly don't think, IF you had another one, John would step up more? Yeah, I'm sure doing newborns alone isn't fun. The only experience I've had with them was when my nieces and nephew were that small. I changed my share of wet and stinky ones

Wish I can find a man PERIOD!!!

Stephanie said...

Yeah, Kathi, he needs some polishing still, but I think I will keep him! Ha! He slacks sometimes, but he is too cute to get rid of...and he still looks good on my arm when we go out! :)

You feeling alright? You are up a bit early...

Leigh Ann said...

Morning Ladies,

Awh, too sweet about my hubby, thanks and I can't wait to get my hands on him tomorrow night! LOL!!!

And John is a keeper!

Kathi,
So, your looking for a man, uh? Are you still corresponding with that guy you met up with a while back?

Marci,
FYI...we didn't get an invite to the wedding. I hope everything goes smoothly and that you get to make both of 'em. Speaking of road trips...are you guys free on labor day weekend - I think we are - I was thinking of having Paul and the kids come here to Pensacola...

Morning Brenda and Tina - the two workout guru's - WTG!!!

Crystal and Rima have a great day as well!

Kathi said...

Steph, yeah, I'm alright; I'm a night owl and don't sleep all that well to begin with

LA, no, I"m not corresponding with that guy anymore; a couple of guys have tried to contact me thru myspace, but I turn 'em down cold (lol) cuz I'm not on myspace to "date"; I'm on there so I can keep in touch with family I don't get to see that often.

Noboyz said...

Good morning everyone....

Steph, I know it is not fun to do alone... believe me...
I let Mike do as much as possible b/c I breastfed, and didn't want him to be left out... so he would bath and change, etc... and when I had Gabrielle, Madison was 12 months old and a baby not even walking yet... so he had to have hands on....

He does lots with Mylee now, b/c he is comfortable...

Leigh Ann,
I'll tell Mike to check to see if he will be on call... but we would LOVE to meet ya'll that weekend if we are able...
I'll let you know soon...

I still don't understand about the wedding deal...
maybe b/c you are out of town????

yes, Tina and Brenda, ya'll are majorly on track!
clap clap clap

Anonymous said...

Good Morning all :)

Lots of talk went on here last night, I see... :) Husband talk...glad I wasn't hear to chime in LOL...I wasn't in the best mood last night :)

Kathi...if you want to meet a guy...take time to find out what hobbies or things you like to do ...then go to places and meet someone with common intersts :) It takes time and hard work to do...but maybe worth it if you meet a guy or make new friends :D

Oh Leighann, Friday is tomorrow :) You'll get your man LOL

My week foodwise went right out the window LOL...I ate terribly due to not taking the time to have good food prepared ... My dessert Mondays went right on through the week...everyday :( The gym part worked out yesterday and will again today...didn't do any nightime walks...but did do 2 x each day at work...

Noboyz said...

Brenda, are you in a better mood? :)
I hate when I get like that... I call myself a "Dragon".... LOL

Tina said...

Morning ladies... i wont be here much today... have some personnel issues that need to be resolved. Love to all!!

LA - when ya get your hands on Paul... give him a big smooch from me! Miss him so!!

Brenda - we are still on for today! What is the latest you will be able to go...so if i look like I will miss that time - I can let you know to "cross me off your planner"... *grin*

Leigh Ann said...

Tina,
Hope everything goes smooth on the personal side of the house...

Brenda,
Dern about the food...LOL...that was funny about the sweets. Good job on the walking at work!

Hopefully, you two will be able to get together at the gym later - I am jealous:(

Anonymous said...

Tina :) I'm going to cancel my plans for the evening...So the gym is good anytime~

Marci :) nope...mood isn't good today..I am the dragon too...

Leigh Ann said...

Brenda,
Wish you were here - looks like we are fixin to have one helluave storm...damn right at lunch, too!

Call me if you need to vent!

Anonymous said...

:} Thanks Leighann...I don't need to vent now...I have errupted...sounds bad, but it's good...

Damn..I want a storm!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noboyz said...

my posts said duplicate and then disappeared... damn.

Tina hope your day goes good... will be thinking of you...

Glad the Dragon errupted!!!

The Johnson Family said...

Good morning ladies!! Sounds like everyone is super busy!!

Leigh Ann the kids ae going to thurman francis!!
I am very excited because I have heard great things and really liek the principal and vice principal!! plus you know how i felt about where I thought they were going to have to go...this enables me to go back and get nursing school finished . I have decided to apply to a different school which is private but has better hours as far as childcare is concerned but smaller so hard to get into to! I take the test for them on august 12Th !! I am a wreck they have five entry requirements and four are great but the fifth is this test score!!

marci my mom had gastric bypass in 2004! She looks amazing and feels great but had a very long hard recovery take care of yourself and if ylu feel like somethng is wrong keep pushing them to find it..with my mom there was a problem but they were missing it ao the recovery was horrendous!! i am very excited for you!!!

Kathi vegas sounds like a blast!

Steph i had never ever left my kids either but I went on a weekend trip for my 30yh bday with my childhhod friends i threw up twice at the airport but ended up having a great time!! and Shane did wonderful with the kids...He can do everything but breastfeed but I probably did not give him enough chances. I saw that the kids really enjoyed staying with him too. so do not feel pressure you will know when you are ready to try leavign that little angel!!

Brenda, Tina, and rima I am glad you r well and survived the earthquake!!

I will not have money for the trip but may do a gaol i am thinking about the goal!!

love ya,

Crystal

Anonymous said...

That's a nice update Crystal :D Glad to see you stopping in sharing ~ You're amazing in all you do!!!

I NEED STORM PICTURES!!! LMAO Leighann can you send me one on the cell phone...or even a voice mail so I can hear thunder :)

Kathi said...

I'm on medication, so don't know how this is gonna come out, but I seriously think my goal should be to get out of the house more often; whether it'd be just walking about the pool a few times, or just sitting outside and enjoying the day. I know it sounds stupid, but I'm also becoming a hermit (at least it feels like it)

Think I did pretty good, considering I'm on Ativan - had another one of my episodes this morning...and haave been dealing with it since 5 this morning

Kathi said...

LOL Brenda....what's with you and storms?

Leigh Ann said...

Kathi,
I think that is a great goal... it's where ever we are in our own life right now. And right now, you want to challenge yourself to get out some - like you could go to the park across the street, read a book by the pool - whatever:)

Brenda,
Glad your better:D

Crystal,
Glad to hear from you and YAH for their school. What nursing school are trying for...I recruited out of all of them.

Stephanie,
Hope we didn't get on your nerves with all of our "mommy advice"

Marci,
Thought I found a great camp site where we could fish and float the river, but the fine print says no alcohol - so, thats OUT! LOL!

Stephanie said...

Of course you all didn't get on my nerves...we are just not ready for that yet! If mommy goes, the whole group goes! :)

Stephanie said...

Or at the very least, Ansley goes! That would make my husband happy if I decided to go and took her too...he says she destroys his nerves! Pitiful, huh? I told him he is just getting a taste of it!

Tina said...

HAHAHA.

Steph darlin.... WAIT till they are freaking teenagers!! :o) LOL.

Love my kids, each and everyone of them, more than life itself... but ohhhh I do NOT "like" them at times lately!

Hope all is well... long day here...

Kathi said...

Oh yeah he is; she's only 2 now...oh, poor John; he thinks this is bad, what until she becomes between like 8-12; these are the "tween years" and when their hormones are ALIVE AND KICKN. It's pretty sad; my second youngest niece, who's 8, has PP (I'm not even gonna attempt to spell it; but it's somethinig Puberty) She started "developing" when she was like 5; no kidding, she has little "buds" at boobs; so tyo control this, she receives shots every month to stop this development.,...I don't think my brother an his wife are ready to have their 8 year old go through puberty quite yet

Steph, I know the consensus is no kids, but in your case, I think it'd be ok; but, if you don't think you'll have any fun with "the girls" with Ansley with us.......

Leigh Ann said...

Tina,
Hope things aren't too bad...God love 'em!

Yikes - yes, I wouldn't want my 8 y/o going through puberty either, it's long enough as it is.

Tina said...

Oh LeighAnn... i just want my snuggle babies back!!! now they are just evil. LOL!!!

Gotta Love em!

Anonymous said...

LMAO!!!!!

Noboyz said...

Ya'll have all been busy....
my head is hurting bad, been at Senior orientation all afternoon.... KK is scheduled 1/2 day and will work at my office other 1/2......

Damn Leigh Ann, that would have been perfect.... if need be, we could get styrofoam cups!!! LOL

Crystal, I'm leaning on the lap band... just scared to death of the big one... too much could go wrong.... and I'm a chicken...

Steph, Ainsley would probably learn way too much on a trip with us!!!
LOL
we would have to watch our waxing and dyeing talks!!
LMAO

Stephanie said...

No kidding, Marci! :)

Tina, I know the feeling, a bit...my son turns 12 in September and he is still mom's boy, but starting to get a little bit of "attitude".

Leigh Ann said...

Good Evening,
Just dyed my roots - so much damn fun, I can hardly stand it!

Packed everything up because I won't be here for a while...I leave tomorrow and am home for the weekend and then I am TAD (temporary additional duty) to FT Rucker, AL, then home again for the following weekend.

Steph,
Wow - that makes me feel old!

Marci,
Hope your headache goes away!

Noboyz said...

Leigh Ann, at least a break in the schedule... might make a few weeks go by :)
glad the roots are taken care of...

my headache is a little better...

too much crap going on as usual....

washer and dryer going strong....
dishwasher humming!!!!

Leigh Ann said...

Wow - you are a machine!

I know I can't believe I have been here a month!

Noboyz said...

yes, I can't believe it's been that long too.... the count down... do you have a calendar going until you retire???
perhaps a "ticker".... LOL

I was supposed to go to a purse/flip flop party tonight.. didn't make it...
the nice Volatile flip flops... very comfy.... a bit over priced, but nice.....

Anonymous said...

Hey all :) Leighann...I'm happy for your TAD orders...you'll be clser to home for the following weekend!! How goes the meds??

Marci...great for KK and her upcoming schedule :) rooting for her!! Sorry about your headache all day :( I'm getting ready to start my chores...had to eat dinner first...just got back from the gym :D

Steph...Welcome to the teens even though he's 12 :) I feel for you!!! It's like all of a sudden, they realize they have a mouth and it talks back..LMAO

Noboyz said...

Thanks Brenda....I'm rooting for her as well... :) she'll be fine...


I say one day they wake up, and they are demons..... it takes until about age 21 until their horns fall off... LOL

Tina said...

hahaha!!! 21 HELL!! Try 25... thats closer...isnt it? haha.

Yes Ladies brenda and i went to the gym and SHE finished THE ENTIRE ROUTINE INCLUDING COOLDOWN!!!! *clap clap clap* I was so very proud!!! *grin* We then did a bit of weights and... crawled into the car to come home LOL! Had fred laughing at us all the way with our waxing tweezing beauty complaints!!! LOL!!

YAY LA!!!! closer to home and a bit of a change should make things go a bit quicker... right?? We love you!!!

Tina said...

...oh... and speaking of tweezing... i gotta go do some of that so I will see you all tomorrow! NIGHTY NIGHT~

Kathi said...

bye Tina, have a good night

Can't believe it's been a month either, LA; time goes fast. So are you gonna drive to Alabama, or fly? I don't really know how close everything is down there. Did you get my little video of the Fremont St. Experience on your phone?

Geez, now that someone's mentioned the "booger trip", I can't stop thinking about it...maybe that's a good thing; it'll be an incentive for me to save, save, save :D

I'm expecting around $600 to come my way, but it depends on our stupid Governor signing the stupid budget; so I will sit here twiddling my thumbs while I wait to hear that the budget's been signed. THAT'S going into my savings account once I get it.

Anonymous said...

there you go Kathi :) you'll be ready and waiting!! It will be fun and exciting ...anywhere for me is good...I just want to hit that 25 mark and go play!!!

Marci ...it's amazing the transitions they go through...tonight my oldest said yes to scooping dog poop and feeding them and giving Powder her meds...first she said...why don't you ask sister, she's home...then I said...no, I'm asking you to do it...Dana said...OK...and she did it!! LOL

Hey Tina...pluck pluck pluck...I wanted to do my toes tonight so they look pretty ...BUT it's 8:20 and I just sat down from chores...so it's a big NO LOL Thanks for keeping on that torture machine...I'm glad to have lived through it...gosh, at my old gym the treadclimber or tread stepper burned more calories but wasn't as hard...wonder if it's wrong in reading calories...as much as I hate the machine...my heart feels good for it...I've never been able to get my heart rate up that high for so long...I feel great!!

Leighann...what are you doing on TAD?? Is this something your looking forward to?? Take care in your ventures :)

Kathi said...

What 25 mark are you referring to, Bren? 25 pounds?

Stephanie said...

Brenda and Tina, you survived a tough workout...great work! Torture machine...now that's funny! I never thought about how many different "do-dads" we have in the gym...some of them actually do look like something out of a Medieval torture chamber! Punish tht fat...bad, bad fat! Ha! Ha! Love y'all!

Leigh Ann, be careful coming home today!

"THE GOVERNATOR"

Kathi, you said "stupid governor" and Arnold popped into my head...he definitely doesn't look like a smart fella, does he? But I don't think he's too dumb...talk about a rags to riches story! I guess a little luck tossed into the mix helps, too. Wow, a Republican official tempered by a Democratic wife and in-laws...I get Maria doesn't let him get away with too much. LOL!

Stephanie said...

Um, sorry...I meant "I BET Maria doesn't let him get away with anything". Bit a difference...dang typos.

Stephanie said...

Oh I meant to say too, that woo hoo, I finished school clothes and supply shopping yesterday, cause I won't have time for it next weekend. My child now wears the same size shoe as dad! How funny! His doctor says according to his growth chart, he will be at least 6'3" by the time he is 18! I know, I know...he should be playing football. But I just can't bring myself to let him. I want him to play golf!

Apparently I also was early, and missed a Tennessee Tax Holiday that is happening next weekend. Well shoot...I could have saved a whole 8 dollars.

Summer's over...School starts August 9.

Kathi said...

I knew what you meant.

And I bet you're right. She's got Irish in her, so I'm sure she is very opinionated about a lot of stuff. I wouldn't want to live in that house, that's for sure. "The Governator" can't even pronounce California right; I say, if you're gonna run our state, learn how to say it correctly...lol.

Kathi said...

Does HE want to play football? How about basketball? Ya can't be TOO overprotective, Steph. I do understand about Ansley now, but Jon's gonna be 12 and he's a boy (with probably a ton of energy); he needs to use that energy on something like sports. OMG...you should've seen my nephew when he was little...he was using his energy and being aggressive towards his younger sister..he would constantly hit her (even today he's like that), so my brother and sil took him to the doctor and asked for advice on how to redirect all that energy. He said GET HIM INTO ANY AND ALL SPORTS. So, he plays basketball, football and baseball (when they're in their seasons, of course); he is so much better than he was; I mean, you still have to remind him about stuff, but he's not where near what he was doing.

Tina said...

Good mornining Ladies!! ITS FRIDAY!!!

Kathi said...

You're up early! Is this the time you usually get up?

I'm up cuz someone called me at 1:40 this morning and didn't leave a msg, so I thought it was my mom about my dad....so I called my mom in tears to see if she had called..she didn't, but it freaked me out so bad, I couldn't go back to sleep

Anonymous said...

Oh Kathi...that's too bad :( Hope you're able to rest...those during the night phone calls are the worst, I know...I go thru the same emotions when that phone wakes me up at night...UGH

Steph...thats amazing about your Jonathon (did I get that right) He's shooting up!!! I love the idea of golf :D and like Kathi said...they have energy to burn LOL...I can imagine ...the ole saying boys will be boys...

Hey Tina :) Hope the day goes quick!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Bennett update*******

He's getting a ride back to San Diego with a classmate who's family also is down here....My brother scored, I think he said, 93% on his finals...had 80-90's on all his tests....his days were 12-13 hours a day then back to the hotel to group study...his class started with 20 some students...he was one of 6 in the end...the last class that went through ended with 2 that passed....Sad though, my brother's room mate and potential drver team mate...didn't make it through :( too bad, I liked that guy...So Ben needs to find another partner..I'm so proud of him!!! It's funny, I told my mom about the good news and she was more interested in how he was going to get back to LA area after his 3 days off :(

Kathi said...

Oh, pooor Ben; I bet you'll be excited to see him though...now, does he wait for his assignment, since he's not directly going on the road? I've never ridden in a big rig before...maybe he'll give me a ride, if he brings his down here....lol

Anonymous said...

Hey Kathi...they are giving them 3 days off before receiving their assignments...which is nice after that intense 2 weeks...he'll be drving for maybe 4 weeks at a time and then get 1 week off...he'll be on the road throughout the US and Canada :) Don't know if his travels will come this way...LOL..if he does you can ask him if he'll give you a ride :D

Kathi said...

cool :D. What's he gonna be hauling, like produce for stores? That'd be so cool to be a truck driver...now that the rules have changed as far as how long they can drive at a time, it should be a piece of cake for him

Anonymous said...

Well the company he's driving for has contracts with many many...but the top ones are GM, Revlon and Costco...if he's partnering up with someone, then he'll be on the road for along time..I think they are paid by the mile...otherwise, solo drivers...less time on the road..less pay ....Hope he gets a driving partner :D

Kathi said...

I know money is GREAT, but I'd rather take the low pay than be in an accident because I was tired

Anonymous said...

that's why team drving is better...when one gets tired...he goes in back to sleep (where the bedroom is) and the other guy keeps driving :) Solo drivers are the ones who get tired because they have no releif driver (gosh I hope my brother doesn't solo drive!!!)

Kathi said...

Yeah, so do I

Well, I'm off to the ER; because my left ankle is KILLING me; I hope they can do something...another cortisone injection this soon after one isn't good, so maybe they can do something else... I just pray they don't say the word I'm dreading (surgery); I'll let ya'll know what they do when I get back

But it's you going to the ER...my gosh!! Hope it's something that can be taken care of easily

Tina said...

Well ladies! It was a LOOOONg day... but I am down .5lbs!!! YAY I will take a 1/2 pound decrease!! And i expect more THIS week if I keep with the gym routine!!

WEll off to get ready for dinner! LeighAnn I hope you have a GREAT weekend with your family!!

YEA!!! Yea Tina on the weight loss...you are going strong :D clap clap clap!!

Noboyz said...

Congrats Tina, hope you have a wonderful evening..

Hey Brenda, hope everything goes well with your brother...

Kathi, gosh... another trip to the doctor... wow... hope you are feeling better....

Leigh Ann, have a great weekend with your peeps....

Steph, hope your weekend is great.

Crystal, I may need your email address to ask some questions about your mom...

Rima, hope you have a great weekend...

Kathi said...

Well, nothing was done tonight, as I didn't injure or break anything, but I am in another equalizer boot. So, I have to call the Podiatrist on Monday and see if I can get in to see him, and talk about.......... the dreaded "s" word. I'm on pain killers and he put me back on Prednisone (50mg...yikes) for four days.

Stephanie said...

Kat, maybe it's just a "fun hangover" from Vegas on that foot...I know I had a "fun hangover" for a full week, on my entire lower half, after my half marathon. You know, just from having more activity than you are accustomed to. Even with all of that training I did...Was it bothering you at all during the trip? I hope it settles down for you. Take care!

Kathi said...

Yeah, it was bothering me during the trip; once it really started hurting, I almost had to sit down at every bench that I passed; it was kind of sad...I had gone down to the car to get something out of it, and on my way back up to the room, I had to sit in the lobby for a few minutes to rest my feet - I had done a lot of walking that day

Tina said...

Happy Saturday Ladies!! Hope you all have a great weekend! I just woke up... gonna go have some cofee and watch a bit of tv...then decide if I can do the gym today. My beer drinking last night left me with a bit of a head ache... lol

Kathi said...

LOL, Brenda; you and your beer.....sheesh; GOD, I wish I can go to the gym with you guys, on your id...but right now, I don't think it's such a hot idea with my foot acting the way it is, DAMNIT!!

Kathi said...

Oops, sorry Brenda; that was Tina doin the beer......lol; well, I am on pain killers, so gettin confused is ok for me

Tina said...

Okay everybody... round of applause... Brenda and I made it to the gym AGAIN and did the full eliptical work out plus weights!! *clap clap clap* EVEN THE BEER cant keep us down!!! hahahahaha

Everyone must be very busy today!

Anonymous said...

Yes TIna :) we did it!!! Just eating lunch now~

Leighann I am up 2 pounds for the week~!!!!!! Damn, I've got to get it together ...this roller coaster, up and down isn't helping me at all!! I hope your weekend home is refreshing for you and the family :)

Hey Steph...I think you're right...Kathi your wonderful trip had a downside to it :( Maybe time to rest the feet is now what you need..hoping for your sake anyway

Hello to everyone else :)

Kathi said...

That's what I've been doing..I haven't really been on them today at all, except to go potty and eat; been sleeping a lot too because of the pain killers
