Hey girlies!
Chilling out this evening... with MB and the 3 little ones....
off again tomorrow! :) a long weekend! cleaned so much house...
I can't stand it!
Hoping sweet Maggie is recovering nicely... and not in much pain....
REPEAT-POSTED THIS ON LAST ONE...
Brenda,
Congrats on the weight loss! And I am glad you enjoyed rock hunting.
Steph,
Glad Ansley is feeling better:)
Tina,
Hope your Monday was good.
Kathi,
I am so happy that your dad is happy:)
Marci,
LOL about the B-day gift!
Gwen,
Praying for Maggie and you guys - hope surgery went well.
Kristy and Renee' hope your week started off good...
Hey,
As you can see...I messed up my post. Chilling here as well, just finished packing my lunch for tomorrow and all.
Hey,
I just got out the bath with Mylee... KK and some of the seniors were getting together...
she is in her walker... piddling around the living room!
Was your weekend great? I'm sure so! So I take it you have to work tomorrow!
Hey, Jeanine said, John Mark and Linda are naming the baby,
Mackenna Jo Spears.... she will have the same initials as Mylee!
I will have to send the monogrammed things I have for them...
we are trying to have a little family shower for her... I will keep you informed....
Love the name...that is so neat about the initials. Yes, keep me updated about the shower cause the blanket is almost dome.
Hey all! I came home early from work and layed down...not feelin so hot... TERRIBLE sore throat! Bailed on Brenda and the gym...sooory Brenda!!
Got a text from Mikey - he has a cracked bone by his knee and tore all the ligements in his ankle. Having surgery on Weds. on his ankle. Poor kid...
Well i wanted to say hi to all... feel like poo so gonna go back to bed. Love ya all!!
Awe, tina.... hope you get good rest.. keep us updated on Mikey!
LA, will keep you posted!
I knew you were working on a blanket.... that will be so nice!
need to finish up all the laundry tomorrow.... and maybe work in the yard....
******
we had a tragedy at the house over the weekend....
Madison cleaned out her turtles cage.... she put the turtle on the carport and said, "Fergie, stay right here until I get back"...
she came in with her eyes welled up and said, "Fergie does not listen very well, I have a serious situation!" LOL and sad at the same time....
we looked for Fergie for 2 hours...
until the tears took over...
I am sure a turtle is going to be a birthday gift.... poor baby!
Poor Madi; I'm so sorry
Hope you feel better soon, Tina; sounds like you've got what's going around these days
Oh no...Marci ..so sad about the turtle story :( but I'm sure it's going to have an adventure into it's next phase of life :) Loved hearing about the training you're doing! WOW!!! You are working hard!!
Leighann.. hello!!!!! How was the visit ...and bowling :) I'm sure you had a great sleepover with all of them!! Was it in your room or hotel??
Tina...that's awful about Mikey ...hoping you're feeling better quick!! I did ALOT of errands today...I didn't get to the gym..then came home from bible study and did things here....so it worked out perfect for me
OK...gotta go and shutdown (me) My brother gets in tonight..late..he's pretty excited and so are we :)
Gwen...thoughts and prayers
Marci, that's good about the mileage, and funny about the weight! Amazing how a little weight can start to feel like you are carrying another person, after a while! :)
I was reading about how your clothing can slow you down, as well. Think about it, a big sweat shirt and you are carrying around the weight of all of your sweat, while you run! Disgusting! I am definitely weighing my clothing choices carefully for the 10K coming up, and half.
Ah, sorry about the turtle!
I thought for sure Ansley had killed Dorothy the Goldfish a few days ago....she dumped almost the whole container of fish food in the tank....poor fish! She didn't explode or anything, which was my theory....we were taking bets!
Tina, oh no! I hope you don't have the flu. That's how mine started! :(
Good Morning Everyone! Off to get ready for work...
Too funny about the turtle and the goldfish...and tramatic as well. Poor babies!
Tina,
Hope you feel better.
Hey Kathi!
Brenda! Hi girl-tell Ben Hi:)
Steph..THE GOLDFISH!! LOL...omg!! hope the fishy is ok today!!
Hey Leighann :) Ben got in last night..haven't seen him yet...I'll see hime this evening when I get in..and tell him hi for you :)
Hello everyone!!
Happy Tuesday ladies... im working from home today so i can keep my germs to myself...
Tina, hope you are feeling better soon! That's a great option to be able to work from home! :)
Brenda, can't wait to hear the next ben story! I must check his blog out again~
Steph, I'm not too sore this
morning so that is pretty good... now, I think I will bring my 1 lb wrist weights tonight.. can't do the 5 again! LOL
I am off today for the big "Fat Tuesday" the last official day of mardi gras.... and the start of lent is tomorrow...
Gwen, how is baby girl?
Christy & Renee', what's up with you two!?
Kathi, where are you girlie?
I'm present and accounted for...lol
Having lunch today with Dad, so can't stay on long; have to take a shower (ihss worker is taking me over there)
I know, Marci; it's Ash Wednesday tomorrow; I bought a bunch of meatless meals on Sunday night, so I'm all set for at least part of Lent
Ok, have to go get ready;
Hope you feel better, Tina
Kathi,
Enjoy lunch with your dad.
Tina,
Feel better!
Stephanie,
Tried to leave a comment on your blog, but the verification just said "Loading" - you can remove that if you want to...
Brenda,
Where is Ben's blog? I haven't been there...
Have to shower and get back to work...starting lifting weights again today.
I weighed myself after I got out of the shower, and to my COMPLETE surprise I was 165 (which means I've almost lost 40lbs since being on this blog) YAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOO; actually had to do a double take to make sure I was reading that right
I will check on my blog, Leigh Ann. Good luck (and good job!) on the weights. I just ran 5 miles in 39 minutes, and thought I would die. I am still wheezy.
My goal for the 10 K (6 miles) is 48 minutes, or 8-minute miles. Not quite there.
I just tested, and it let me post on my blog. Test, test. It is marked "allow" on the comments tab. Well, maybe it will accept comments now. Thanks for trying!
WOW!!! Kathi...that's wonderful :D
Those are great surprises!! have fun today
Steph...jaw dropping LOL on your running!!
Hey Leighann! Hope you had a good work out lifting weights :) Ben's blog is linked on mine...go to the bottom of mine and it's on my list of blogs..
Marci...Happy Mardi Gras and Lent to you :) Sounds like they close up the state for that mardi gras fun LOL...I bet you have some GOOD food Mmmmmmmmm Have a good walk tonight!!
Hey Tina...feel better :) hope you get to rest while working..or between
HEy all!
Steph... just tried to post on your blog again...still getting the same thing LA was... you should take that word verify off... its a pain in the butt... lol
Well... i can swallow now... i hope that means im on the mend!! im a baby when i get sick... cuz i just simply dont do it that often. LOL
See ya all later!
Good evening girlies....
all dressed and ready to walk, it's 4:10 here... but we are going walk at 5:00, so I have someposting times....
Steph, when I saw your 10K is 6 miles... I had put 5K, thinking that was 5 miles... so actually I don't know how many K it is... but it is a 5 mile walk... LOL I'm goofy! Wow on your 8 minute miles... (My legs would be rubber bands!)
Tina, are you gargling with hot salt water? I hate to be sick also, b/c it doesn't happen often here either....
Brenda, so glad you get to see Ben again! and hear good stories..!
Kathi, hope your lunch with dad was great! and WOWEEEEE on the 40 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristy, Gwen & Renee' hey all!
LA, I told the girls that Paul and your girls visited you and ya'll went bowling, well guess what? Mom, we want to go bowling! So off we went today! I think I found Madison's talent....
Her last game she bowled 129, (which I thought was impressive)
she got 3 spares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a youth program, and she wants to do it....she is all pumped up!
Lunch with Dad was great. They had a "Mardi Gras" lunch; all "Louisiana" food (and I put that in paranthese b/c it was there version of it); I was too chicken to try any of it though, so I just had a salad and some honey dew melon and an iced tea; Dad was in a great mood too..still can't get him to take a shower though
I finally found the word verify setting....how the hell did that get changed? I swear, I work with very technically challenging software and computer systems all day, and then my blog makes me look retarded. Maybe a little dingy, but not retarded. I promise, I am not! :)
Should be good to go now.
Tina, I hope you have a restful evening.
Marci, give me your cell number, so I can put it in my phone. I promise, I will call you during your walk! :) You did say it is 25 April? What time? I need specifics!
Hey all - Im wrapping up for the day. Cough is back so im gonna go lay down.
Marci - tell Maddi she beat ME in bowling! LOL
Steph... NEVER retarded!! LOL
Kathi - good luck with the shower
LA - MISS YOU
Brenda - Are we doing the gym tomorrow? I cant remember... lol
Everyone else - hugsand love!
Tina, we don't have to worry about the showers anymore; it's up to the staff... feel better
Steph, no, you're not retarded at all
Hey all...
Steph, 225-278-9459....yes the Saturday, 25th.... I'll keep ya'll posted....
I really walked fast tonight... my sister in law copped out after 2 miles... she said her stomach hurt... I went on for 1 more mile... I'll really cutting my time.... I do speed walk, but have to build up to it...
I will time myself again tomorrow and see what I do.... if I improve...
Tina, glad you are feeling better...:) I hear the talk of working out with Brenda... :)
LA, where oh where are you....
Gwen, I went and read on your blog about sweet baby girl... she is a TROOPER!!!!
Kathi thank you for your sweet comments on my blog!
we had a blast the last 4 days!!!!!!!
You're welcome, Marci
Yeah, where are you, LA?????
Hey all...
Tina...no gym tomorrow for me...the parent's are meeting here after I get off work...we're having Ben's bday dinner..hope you get to feeling better!!
Marci...cute about the bowling :) WTG on the power walking!!
Hey Kathi :) Where is your dad's new home..sounds really nice!! Your are really eating good and healthy :)
Steph...glad you got the blog fixed now
Hi Leighann...Gwen..Renne...
Bren, Dad's new home is in Sabre Springs, so not far at all; my sister lives literally right across the freeway from him now, which is good, since she's the medical POA and can be there in a heartbeat if needed (except when she's at work)
Oh, and it is a very nice place; the Four Seasons of Assisted Living facilities...we picked that one cuz it was really the only one that had a spotless record
Gotcha, Marci! You are in my phone now!
You all are too funny on my blog! Thanks for the encouragement! :)
Good Morning!
I didn't feel real good yesterday, thought maybe I was coming down with something. I went home, fixed me a bite to eat and crawled into bed. Rested well and I feel better today. Both Mackenzie and Dailen have been home the past two days and are going to the doctor today...wish I was there to cuddle, but I know Paul is taking good care of them. Rayna seems to be doing well, Paul says she lives in her "loft" LOL!
I am going to include these six ab exercises into my workouts...see the video above.
Also, will fix Kathi's, Brenda's and Marci's tickers tonight. WTG girls! Kathi - that is fantastic - 40 pounds!
I am depressed...just got off the scale, just can't seem to lose the weight! Now, I am all pissy! Guess, I will bump up my run to 2.5 miles and I just started back lifting weights yesterday...so we will see - geez, it's freak'n depressing!
Gotta work, talk to you ladies later!
Don't get discouraged, Leigh Ann. Cardio is important, but I think the weights are crucial. Build muscle mass and you can't help but burn more fat. And OMG, your legs are so skinny! Do legs! ;) Just joking, tryin' to cheer you up!
I hope the kids don't have that nasty flu. It's everywhere here. Jonathan brought it home from school...
Love the video Leighann :) Gosh one day I hope I can do it just as smoothly as they do :)
discouraging, I know Leighann and all hard work to find what works for each of us and doing it...glad you feel better this morning..UGH the flu!!
Steph...your encouragement helps so much!
OK..time to start the day :) woohoo!!
Oh...something happened to me last night..very odd...woke me out of a deep sleep..I was sleeping on my stomach and woke up in extreme pain...my left foot was frozen in pain...I couldn't bear to even move it at all..not sure if it was a spasm or what..but it was frozen pain..weird..then after about 5 minutes..I was able to slowly move it, then get out of bed and walk...this AM it's good..I just have a phanton flashback in the foot now LOL
Brenda, that is so odd about your foot! Thanks for the encouragement from the both of you - it is much appreciated:)
Brenda, I get something similar to that sometimes, in my feet. It's kind of like a charleyhorse, or a kink or something, in one of my toes. It just starts curling down, and gets stuck like that, and it is extremely painful! I just have to pull up on the affected toe and hold it there for a minute, and it goes away. Very weird. I have never heard anyone else say they get it.
LOL..well, I can now say...I feel your pain LOL...it was along the top outer part of my foot..WOW!
Mackenzie and Dailen have Steph throats...bless their hearts and Pauls! Wish I was there!
step throat?? oh that's so sad :( I'm sure you do wish you were there Leighann...are you skyping??
Poor babies, LA; hope they get better soon (that was pretty funny...Steph throats; obviously I knew what you meant)
That's so weird about the feet probs; my goodness!
Brenda, I'm thinking a charlie horse as well... my suggestion...
"Eat a Banana!!!!" LOL I love you girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LA, dwindling time on being home huh! YEAH!!!!! April is right around the corner... and poor baby girls! strep throat is all over here as well!
Tina, how are you feeling????
Steph, when I saw your 10K post.. I went back and double checked... so I am in a 5K... which is actually 3 miles??? is that right... if your 10 K is 6 miles?
That makes it great for me... b/c I am right at 3 miles now.. so have plenty of time to cut time!
Hey Brenda!!
OH, and ladies (N.O. trip)...
my brother said his bar is open one night, if you bring him a cool beer for his shelf... it has to be unopened and a different kind of beer... LOL
I am just not sure of us drinking there and driving back to N.O.!!!!
Maybe a few drinks!
Hi ladies! Finishing up the blanket tonight. I feel like an idiot for saying Steph throat...my fingers have a habit of typing your name, my friend. Sorry! Glad ya'll knew what I meant.
we knew what you meant Leigh Ann...
LOL no worries.. you knew we were going to tease!!!! ha
can't wait to see the blanket!
Hey, Steph throat....sounds ominous! :)
Hey all... just popping in real quick... stayed home from work and in bed ALL day. My throat is still sore!!! Maybe I have "steph" throat!! LOL
Going to work tomorrow regardless... cancelled dentist appt. The idea of having a filling replaced and having to cough...nah... i will pass. :o)
Love you all... taking my fanny back to bed...
Why of course we had to tease... you must've been thinking of Steph at the time, LA
Feel better, Tina
Hey all...
an update on the Epilepsy Walk...
I am 4th place in fundraising...
and my team is in 5th place for people walking and donations....
they just don't know what's fixing to it them...
I mailed another $200 in donations today... and the BOMB has not hit yet!
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Renee', where are you sis??????
damn triple posts!!!
LOL
heeeeee heeeeeee
haaaaaa haaaaaaa
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm done...
nighty night!
rightyo Marci :) LOL..besides all the word mishaps...you are full on moving on this event ...monies and your endurance..so very excited!!
Leighann..hoping the meds work quick on the kids!!
Tina..not sure how you will make the gym tomorrow!! If you do, maybe take it slow..we should do floor stuff and not cardio..that would make the cough worse..your call :)
Hey Kathi..Hey Steph :)
We had a really nice night here for my brother...just wish Steve could have been here though..
I'm really slacking this week where food is concerned :( I got used to eating bad over the weekend and it has continued into the week...I'm not happy about it.. Why does food have to be comforting...It didn't used to be and I don't like it :( UGH!! help!!
Love to all and absolutely thinking of Gwen and the family!!
Happy Thursday all! Got all the tickers done and Congrats to Kathi who has lost almost 40 pounds - 38 to be exact - is that right Kathi?
Have a great day all!
Hi everyone :) Thanks Leighann again for doing the tickers!! Hope the kids are feeling better as the day goes on
Tina...hoping you're well..or on the mend
good day to all :)
Hey all... coughing my head off at work... lol
im sure EVERYONE is so glad im back...hahaha.
Hope you all have a great day!!
Yes LA; 38's right; and thank you;
My cousin and I have officially started our project; he called me on my cell last night; he wants to go over more about the security and privacy before we go ahead with it (we're doing a family blog, with I think just the first cousins)
that's really exciting Kathi :) great way to stay connected, for sure!!
Tina....I'll miss you at the gym sista :) take care of yourself!!
hope everyone else is having a fantabulous day!!
Kathi, congrats on that 38 lbs!!!!
WOWEE!!!
and I agree about the family blog!
That's great!

Brenda, I know it is so hard to stay on track! You will get back focused.
LA, thanks for the updates on the tickers! Are the girls better???

Hello everyone else!
Kathi :) you are doing an amazing job with your weight loss...if you don't mind me saying...every time I see you...your clothes are falling off :) You are becoming our idol!!! Keep on getting it off!!!
Thank you, Bren and Marci; I'm feeling really good; I'm thinking I've lost 12 lbs in the 4-6 weeks that I've been continually eating Lean Cuisines
Yeah, that's why we're hopefully starting the blog; so we can all stay in touch when it's a long time between visits (which it has been; it's been 5.5 years I was last there)
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!
Yes, Kathi you are doing great!
Tina, hope you feel better.
Marci, will post pics, I am making little socks and a cap as well. Have you heard any thing about a shower?
Brenda, the kids are back in school today...hopefully it goes well.

Kathi :) Hope you have a good day :)
Happy Friday!!!!!!!
Happy Friday all! Am missing my FIRST soccer game in a over a year (other than ones that are cancelled - when the whole team misses) I dont think I could run without coughing up a lung. LOL
Sneezed last night and thru out my neck if you can freaking believe that. Can only turn my head to the right... haha. Sounds stupid... but poor fred was up all night with me.
Kathi - GREAT job on the weight loss and have fun with the family blog
Marci - Cant wait for that "donation" to kick in and bump you to an untouchable first place!!
LeighAnn - Im so glad those angels are feeling better! Tia and Rayna are keeping in touch via MySpace I guess. tooo cute. Miss you all so very much!!

Bye all!
Tina, your poor neck! That stinks, I know you must not feel well to miss soccer!
Hey Leighann :) Hope you're having a good day
oh Tina...that's awful!
This day couldn't be any longer OMG!!!! I'm so struggling to stay awake...the last 2 days would have been great nap days LOL ...I'll perk up after work, I normally do..1 1/2 more hours!!!
Hi all. Thank you once again, ladies, on the weight loss. It feels so weird when I lay (lie) on my back and can actually feel how flat my stomach is and how I can actually feel my rib cage.
WEll... if its not one thing...its another. Zach could leave as soon as 16 days from today. He and his dad had a blow up... *sigh* and im stuck in the middle... *sigh*
Well I went with Jenna to her 2nd set of tryouts for the Starlings Volleyball... i think she will have a great time with this. :o) Shes very excited to be playing again.
Oh...Im flat this week. I told Brenda i was just gonna "say" i was flat... but i really truly am!! Go figure...not a single day at the freaking gym!! Must be doing ok on the food. LOL
Well taking my coughing sore necked self to bed... Nite all!!
Night, Tina; get well;; sorry about the fight Zach and Fred had :( and Zach leaving so early; hope your neck gets better too
Tina...I'm so sorry for all the emotions that is going on with Zach...just know we are here for you and all of the emotions is because you and Fred are wonderful parent's and Zach is a wonderful son :) HUGS!!
Kathi...that's so cool about lying in bed and feeling what's there LOL!!!! below the surface!!!! :)
hello to all!!
Hello all :) Weighed in and am FLAT..yes, truely LOL..no harm done!
The mine we went to in Brenda, Arizona was a geode mine..those rocks that look ugly on the outside..then you slice it (diamond blade saw) and inside reveals beautiful crystals some types of geodes have more brilliant colors than others...the ones we mined have light blue crystal formations..not as pretty as others :)
The rock shop was where we were last year...and had my pic taken in the same spot..I don't like the pic because I don't look like I've lost inches in it LOL...it was to be my new reveal pic...dumb camera LOL..
Anyway..taking a break from outside where we are having a beautiful sunny and warm day
Hey all!
Brenda, Fred and I worked in the yards too. More him than me. I cleaned up my patio plants though. LeighAnn, you remember the tall plants? Well I cut them back and one is doing BEAUTIFULLY. The other, the one that went into shock and really never recovered... well we will see how it does!
I will have to remember to take pictures and post on the blog for you to see!
Gonna go watch Zachs soccer game and drink beer with the Storey's tonight. It was Freds idea... see... dads... they are mean, then feel bad and are really nice. LOL.
Typical.
Well Love to all and hope your having a wonderful weekend.
Tina, glad everyone is getting along! wishing I was drinking beer with ya'll!!!1 soon, soon, soon! :)
Brenda, I loved all of your posts... will have to check out the rocks more closely and guess which ones are which! :)
we went bowling... and my first bowl, when I let go of the ball, I was in slow motion.. and felt fire down my butt and left leg... not sure what I did.... but I can hardly walk...... on a heating pad.. I'm sure pulled a muscle...
LA, I am down 1 lb... I'm sure next week it will be plus 5, with my butt and leg! lol
Gwen, your email was very nice, and thanks for your kind words as well!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday evening.. and a great Sunday!!!
Love,
Nonnie & her butt!!!! LOL
MARCI!!! YOU AND YOUR POOR BUTT!!! LOL. I wish you were drinkin with us too! According to my ticker its only 2 months 2 weeks and 3 days!!! HOOOOOT!!!
So VERY excited!!
Well... gotta go slice some tomatoes as I will be grilling bugers and dogs after the game... to go along with the beers! haha
Marci....sounds like sciatica! Bet you pinched it. Ouch!
I don't like all of my girls getting hurt lately. It must stop!
Have fun tonight, Kochs and Storeys! And Marci, with her donut cushion! :)
We are having some friends over, and I made some munchies...one is kind of cheesy biscuits with a green olive baked in the center....yummy!
Oh no Marci!!! That's awful :( I sure hope you feel better ...poor thing!!
