Yes - that will teach me to try to workout and be healthy. I am doing pretty good so far with the challenge (is that still going?). I have lost 10 pounds officially at WW with another weigh in tomorrow. However from when I started the challenge I have lost 16 pounds as of yesterday. DH is also down about 8 pounds.

I still have a LONG way to go but slowly but surely I am really getting into a groove with WW again. I just hope the cruise does not set me back too far.

Good morning Becka!

I have this problem too because the kids are born on the 10th of January. It means it all has to be done before the holidays. I usually have their party later in the month. I just can't face it right after New Year's and then the next weekend is MLK 3 day weekend. We usually go to WDW in Jan. as well.

Maybe one more year and they will have those nice quiet parties with only 4 or 5 friends - right?

Jaea decided on a penguin theme for their joint ice skating birthday party. They just watched March of the Penguins and she thinks penguins are wintery.

We will just have DD's party here at home since he will just be 2. What we do is usually DH's parents come, his brother and sometimes his cousin's little girl who is now 5. Other than that my best friend, her husband and her two boys (who are the same age as my two - almost to the day) come over as well. I make a cake and some other finger goodie type food. Pretty casual but I do decorate to the theme, make goodie bags for the kids, etc.. It is still a lot of work.

Becka looks pretty accomplished at whatever she does - love that bulletin board too.

Revoke her anti-craft privileges.

See that is really the perfectionist in me which is why I think I don't like being "crafty". I can never get it to look as perfect as I would like it. I see big flaws in the cakes, cupcakes, poster, etc.. and it frustrates me. Just ask DH how crabby I got trying to get that poster put together. It is not fun when I am stressed about making it perfect.

 

[becka]

Hmmmm. Everyone bailed on me. Must be the lack of cyber deodorant. ROTFLOL! Is there a smilie for that?

Here ya go.....

I haven't been back here since 3A Sat after I watched the movie and I came back and realized I was still signed on.

Time to catch up (well at least since Friday/Sat after 3A

You should also know that apparently the DIS is a great advertiser. I just bought 3 tide pens. Is there anything else that I should go buy? Maybe the new source of marketing should be chat rooms on the web. Companies could plant people on large threads to talk about how great there product is.

What have you bought because of this thread?

Purple Tide come to mind and I am thinking about buying some Spanx!

The gig is up Becka. You are officially crafty! We've seen the pumpkin and the cakes - you've been holding back on us. You aren't anti-crafty you are perfectionist crafty. that's worse - that means your crafty is uber crafty because its perfect!

Good Morning Caroline!

It is just the two of us this morning? I was hoping to sleep in a little but when DS woke up he asked me to make him some pancakes and since I am such a softie I got up and made them for everyone.

 

[becka]

I see Carla is here now too!

Good Morning! Would you like some cyber pancakes - I think there are a few left.

Horton Hears a Who - I was heard! Hi Becka and Caroline! Thanks for the cyber pancake offer - can't be too full - we're going out for bfast once DH and DD come back from skating.

[pyramid2000]

Good morning to you Carla!

 

[pyramid2000]

Becka, you are a softie! It takes a lot for me to actually cook breakfast. I usually tell the girls to go ask dear ole dad.

Sarah and Amanda are trying to play Scrabble right now. I saw trying because Amanda has a limited vocabulary right now, and the words they are making ae too short to leave them any room. But they are aving fun.

Remind them again to put ALL the pieces away when done.

Are you having any luck Carla?
