Noboyz said...

I dont think so, it's precious!

I posted on the other week....
you were probably starting a new week! HA

I don't know how good the time is but.... I walked 2 1/2 miles in 50 minutes tonight.... am sure will be sore tomorrow morning, but it is a good start... I'm excited...

How are you? where are you at right now? Did you say yall were flying today or tomorrow?

Noboyz said...

Nighty Night....
just watched a movie of the Navy Seals.... it was awesome!

will talk tomorrow... :)

Leigh Ann said...

Hey, I am at Camp LeJeune, which is in Jacksonville, NC. We are all going to PT at 0600...so, I will have to check in later. That is awesome about your walking! WTG...till later.

Leigh Ann said...

I meant 0700...

Leigh Ann said...

Ran my two miles and have showered up - we are heading to Starbucks to start our day.

Anyone heard from Brenda?

Tina said...

Morning girls...

Yes LA - I talked with Brenda... last check in was about 800 last night and all was well. Their trip was very snowy and packed with traffic. I will let her fill you all in... but i know they were on the homestretch at 8.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Noboyz said...

Hey Tina...Leigh Ann,
Starbucks sounds goooooood...

Tina, I smothered at the pics on your blog last night.... my favorite was Steve... looks like he gave up ! LOL

Stephanie said...

Marci, I returned a comment to you on my blog, but I don't know if you got back to it.....I am catching up. Awesome job on the walking! On your training, now that you have established your baseline, just add to it each time you go out....that's what I do! Pick up the pace a little at a time. Did you say your walk is on 25 April? Because that is the day of my half marathon! Mine starts at 0700. It would be fun to call you during the race! I will have my cell phone tucked in my sports bra, like last time, LOL!

Stephanie said...

Mmmm, Starbucks sounds wonderful. I could definitely use some of that right now. Have a great day with the Marines, Leigh Ann!

Leigh Ann said...

Brenda, have a good workout! Loved the slideshows and look forward to the others - Love you!

Noboyz said...

tina,
I apologize... I didn't see you lost 1.5 awesome! I was flat and pissed!
You and Brenda are doing fantastic on your workouts!!!

LA, great running! when do you go back to P'cola?

KK's senior trip is booked, and I'm not too happy... I didn't allow Sam to go... and KK has worked so hard she deserves, but it is not fair... so I told her she has to pay....
well my boss gives her her graduation present early! $500!!!!
(she is our student worker as well, so he double dipped her!)

her trip is paid now...

steph, thanks for the tips..
I walked 2 1/2 miles in 46 minutes tonight.... cutting down on the time! LOL

Leigh Ann said...

Marci, great job on the time! You have no control over what your boss does...you must not be the only one that think she deserves it! She only gets this chance once - especially as a single mom -but you know that, just trying to support you 'cause you are incredible.

Leigh Ann said...

I am going to work on the blanket some...good night!

Noboyz said...

I know thanks Leigh Ann! She is incredible, and has done so much with her life... turning into a great mommie!

I forgot to tell ya'll (I may Have)
she's working in the mornings from 7 am. until 9 a.m at St Elizabeth Hospital Surgery Room in Gonzales...
she was all excited b/c she saw a boob job today!!! LOL

Can't wait to see the blanket! I must start on my basket for them as well!

Noboyz said...

OMG Brenda, I would love to go and get rocks for my yard! I so LOVE doing that.... MB hates that he has to weed eat around everything... it looks bare now, b/c everything was killed with the snow!

Bren, the pictures were fabulous!

and yes, it is so hard to judge why something happens and one gets to do something.. .and the tables turn and it's not feezable for the other! :( parenting!!!! damn!!

I just must say, my legs hurt like hell... and my scholiosis is really bothering me tonight... I've done a few back exercises in the hot water.... MB will rub my back tonight...he doesn't know it yet! LOL

Noboyz said...

OMG! You are incredible!

Yes, MB and I went down to the creek every weekend when we were dating and then again when Madi & gabbi were 1 & 2.... collecting creek slick rocks for my beds....
scary momment... but we had too many bags on the back of the 4 wheeler Gabbi was in front and then MB and madi in between us... going up the enbankment and the 4 wheeler flipped on us... it was slow mow... I held Madi out with my arm and laid her in a mud puddle and mb caved his chest around gabrielle...the gun rack scraped up my back.... and MB fell on me... with the 4 wheeler on top of us! Gabbi was giggling... we were not

Leigh Ann said...

Hi everyone! Very busy here, ran into scheduling problems with the flight on Friday...

Talk to you guys soon, when I have more time to catch up with all of you:)

Stephanie said...

Where did my post go?

Every once in a while, I get an error message and it gives me a code and tells me to contact the administrator? Then my post is gone. I am beginning to wonder if my troubles have to do with my work software on this computer. I know I cannot run I-tunes concurrently. It wipes out my work! They have some pretty stiff security settings.

Well, thanks anyway, Brenda, for the well wishes. I feel better today, just really tired still, and my ears still hurt.

Thank you, Tina!

Noboyz said...

LA, good luck on the flight schedules!
Steph, hoping your family is feeling better!
Tina & Brenda, can't wait until May myself!
Kathi, hoping you are better yourself and have a good day at your dads!
Tina, glad you had sweet dreams!

I've been waking up all night worrying about everything myself! ridiculous!

MB and I are now home... field trip was so much fun!!!! We went to the Rural Life Museum, (La. history about sugar cane farming and plantations, what my family did) then the Swamp tour.... very fun!

The lawyer called about the wreck when KK was 9 months pregnant.. the other people FINALLY admitted fault!... hello.. she ran a stop sign and hit us broadside! Its ashame we had to hire a lawyer for that! anyways...... we were blessed b/c of their stupidity...
will release first 1/2 next week.
:)

Kathi said...

Could that be what happened to your blog, Steph? The administrator is LA (she's the one that created the blog, so she's the administrator)

Feeling much better, girls, thank you.

Have to get to Dad's a little early today cuz I have to give something to my sister, who's gonna swing by before going home, or wherever she's going

Kathi said...

I'm so glad for all of you, Marci; it's about time

Anonymous said...

Hey Kathi..take care on the journey up to RB :) Hope the evening is calm!

Marci...What a very cool field trip you went on!!!! Are there pics??? Gosh, I would love to know more about that :D Glad to hear that accident issue is coming to a final...That's amazing how long it took!!

Hey Leighann...oh my...flight schedules?? Hope it gets fixed for your travels :)

hello hello to everyone else!!!

Noboyz said...

Hey Brenda,
yes, took lots of pictures.... 71 total... will have to pick which ones to post... so very cool!

Yes, La... is known for dragging feet on accident issues... it's ridiculous....

LA, what about your travels? any changes?

it's now, majorly raining here, with lightning and thunder... you would love it Brenda!

I can't walk tonight... but I think today I got enough walking anyways...

Tina said...

Well - had a nice workout - and then came home and undid it with a Sourdough Jack and curly fries. YUMMY.

I was gonna make a hamburger casserole... but it seems all my fixins have been eaten in something else... so... fred wanted jack n the box.

Noboyz said...

Tina,
at least you worked out!!!!!1


it was raining here so badly.. I couldn't do anything...
I'm hoping all the damn walkking on the fieldtrip was ok....

Kathi said...

I'm sure it will be, Marci;

So far, so GREAT, here in RB; might change my tune tomorrow, as it's shower day; dinner tonight was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS (wow, haven't used that word in a while...lol); stuffed ravioli in kind of a tangy sauce with little bits of chicken; and of course a salad for pops - I didn't feel much like one tonight

Anonymous said...

geez...all this yummy food!! LOL

I would LOVE the storms Marci!! My sister texted me a pic of a tornado out her backyard!! She lives in Georgia..so not sure if the weather was coming or going your way Marci ...the storms anyway..no tornados!!

I was wiped out from the gym..completely...sigh...barely any energy this evening...did the dishes...load of clothes and went through a stack of mail...that's it..gonna turn in early

best to all!!

Anonymous said...

Good Morning everyone!!

Feeling rested this morning :) eating my oatmeal with cut up apple and the cinnamon and flax ...Mmmmm

hope everyone has a good day :) Busy day here...working late..then going to a church shelter to feed the homeless...not your typical homeless on the streets but families who were in that group..one paycheck away from being homeless...so sad :(

today is also my Friday...leaving in the AM for Arizona to play in the desert...will be back Sunday night...I plan on burning calories this weekend, hoofing it :)

Tina said...

Morning Girls!

Hope everyone has a fine Thursday. Brenda,the Koch's will miss the Storey's again this weekend... LOL

Hope everyone has a great day. Kathi, good luck with all your "stuff".

Kathi said...

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers; you'll never know how much they're appreciated; no shower for Dad; but that's ok...hopefully he'll get in this weekend...didn't sleep at all last night, so asa I get home, I'm hittin the sheets *sigh*

Anonymous said...

take care Kathi :) rest well!!

and buenos tardes everyone!!

Leigh Ann said...

Brenda,
Enjoy your weekend!

The flight schedules are corrected - they were for our students, not us. They fly and practice taking care of patients in the back of the aircraft - very cool stuff.

I fly back tomorrow and then Paul and the kids are coming down on Saturday, I am very excited.

Marci,
Can't wait to see the pics from the field trip:)

Kathi, I can't mess up Steph's blog...I am not the administrator to her personnel one.

Steph, love your new pics on your sidebar.

Tina, can you email the recipe for the hamburger casserole? I bet my kids would love it!

Packing up tonight...have a great evening everyone.

Kathi said...

Can't sleep; too much caffeine flowin through me right now....lol (not to mention the stressful call I just got - about something else)

I know, LA; I was explaining that you were the admin for this blog; YAY about seeing Paul and kids this weekend

Bren, what's "tardes"? I know "beunos" is good...

Leigh Ann said...

Hey Kathi...dern the caffeine!

Tina said...

Hey all!

LeighAnn - I have 2 REALLY easy hamburger casseroles. One with macaroni and cheese and one with tatertots...you just tell me which you want. My kids used to love them when they were small...now... not so much. LOL

Gonna make Taco Salad for dinner... or go to HTB... not sure... Fred cant make up his mind. LOL

Leigh Ann said...

Give me the one with the tatertots...I can't wait to see you guys in May:D

Noboyz said...

Hey all!
I miss so much during the day!
My son keeps me busy at the office!

Bren, have a great weekend!

Kathi, things will work out... have faith...

Tina, I want the recipes as well!

LA, how exciting to have a Saturday in Florida! :) withh your family that is! :)

Gabrielle made her"first reconcilliation " tonight.. where you tell the priest your sins, he blesses you and tells you prayers to say for penance...

Gabs was up there a while! :)
she comes skipping back and says,
I have to say 3 Our Fathers! Is that bad?????? she starts praying so hard... and saying her prayers, she goes from silent prayers, to whispering prayers, to everyone can hear you prayers! LOL

PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Noboyz said...

Please pray for me that this "special" donation comes thru...
I received a call about an anonymous donor that wants to donate $25,000 in honor of Gabrielle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Noboyz said...

GOSH... wishing someone was on to celebrate and pray with me....
oh well...
nighty night....
may check in a little later...

Kathi said...

WOW, MARCI!!!!!!! I'll certainly say prayers that it comes thru... wouldn't that be just the sickest joke ever if it doesn't?!

And OMG about the first reconcilliation...I remember making mine; I was TERRIFIED, but we had the BEST priest (Father Tom) back then, so it made it easier...and then for practicing my First Holy Communion, my mom gave me the Host while I was sitting on the toilet...LOL (those two events happened when we lived in Los Angeles)

Tina, if you're willing to share, I would also like the recipes for both - preparing and heating stuff up for Dad and I got me into cooking a little now (just doing the simple stuff right now though...no gourmet things for a while)

Kathi said...

Is losing 7 lbs. in three weeks good? According to the scale in my mom's room, which I don't think is accurate cuz it's on carpet, I'm now down to 170 (taking into account 3 lbs of clothing I had on when I was weighed at the doc's on Jan. 28) w/o clothes on...

Kathi said...

Night, night; took an Ativan to calm my nerves/anxiety for what's coming this weekend, so I'm gonna check in (out) early

Anonymous said...

Hey all...checking in :)

Leighann...SO very exciting about the family going down Saturday!!!! I know you must be over the moon :)
Take care and say hello to everyone!!

Hey Tina...gonna miss you all :) Mmmmm your food talk is soooo dreamy :)

Kathi...take care and hope the meds work and you can rest...buenos tardes is good afternoon LOL...now I'm saying buenos noches...good evening LOL...your HOST memory on the toilet cracked me up!!!!! Although, I have no idea what that means LOL

MARCI!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! Yes...prayers for sure!! That is absolutely amazing about the donation...I'm speechless :) So exciting to hear about your Gabi and her prayers and FUNNY!!!!!! You must be so proud :D

The dinner tonight for a homeless shelter was really something...I've never did anything like that before...These churches take turns hosting about 12 people for a month at their own churches..then they get volunteers to make the meals...I was most moved by their spirits...here they are..homeless..but they were so cheerful and making us feel comfortable...these folks were like you and I...not the type of folks you see collecting monies on the corner...Anyway..enough rambling...I was just really moved by the whole experience :)

OK..will go now to throw a few clothes in my bag for the weekend :) Take care everyone!! Love and hugs!!

Tina said...

Happy Friday All!!

We will finally play soccer tonight after 2 weeks of rain cancellations!

Jenna tries out for a Club Volleyball team today. They have 2 dates, this friday and next friday, and then they choose their players. She is excited and nervous. LOL

Noboyz said...

Good Luck Jenna!

Tina, glad you are getting to play! Good luck to your team....

thanks all for the prayers... about the donation... it's happening, I just hope it all happens before the Walk a THon.... if not, still going the foundation.
:) (I know who it is)...
finally a good Anonymous! LOL

Kathi said...

Morning ladies...

I did get some good rest last night, but might get some more, as it's too early for me right now :)

Marci, is it from someone from work? Or maybe Mike? This intrigued mind wants to know :D

Brothers/sister/friends are (hopefully) secretively moving all of my dad's stuff into his new "apartment" at the facility today/tonight - although I don't know how secretive they can be with him there...it might be after he goes to bed tonight; my sister's got her car packed with the laundry (so he doesn't find any missing clothes) and the new bed that she bought him, sil might come down from OC with the table/chairs she got...they're just gonna have his room all set up and ready for tomorrow

Noboyz said...

Sorry, Kathi, my lips are sealed... you wouldn't know them anyways...
:) no hard feelings....

that's how things that are supposed to be secretive get out.... it hurts others in the end....

Noboyz said...

and Kathi .... LOL....
NOPE... not MB... he doesn't have jack like that! HA

CW Insurance said...

WOOO HOOOOO! Quick stop in then I have to work on a big paper for school.

I broke all the rules and drove myself to Weight Watchers today. I was ready to have a gain because of the cast, surgery, swelling in my leg, no activity at all, and that time of the month.... BUT I have lost another 4.6 pounds!!!

My grand total is 13.8 pounds lost right now. :)


Huggs to everyone!

Tina said...

Hey all - getting ready for soccer... I forgot...im up a pound. *sigh*

Talk to ya all tomorrow!!
