Fireball as more in the go getter

Hmmm, Heidi. What do you think? A go getter? Maybe. I love the word fireball. I see that in a lot of us woman here! Guess that is why we clicked so well.

Mom - the one with the white background on the last cruise doesn't look that bad!!!!

Found another picture of my boyfriend and I when I was trying to teach him how to ski. It is my favorite picture of us.

I am working on getting passports for next year. I have always taken the cheap way out and used our BC's, but now I think I will have the excuse to finally travel abroad! I have always wanted to go to England, Ireland, Greece and Italy. I guess I can try too start going to one every few years. If I can talk Jeff into it. Only interest he has is going to Ireland or Italy. He is part Irish and Cheyenee Indian. Weird combo, huh? His grandmother was full blooded Indian. I think it is really neat to look at Erik and see his blonde hair and realize he is 1/16 Indian. LOL

I have filled out the paperwork for the passports and we went to AAA today for pictures. I have to wait on Jeff to meet me in order to order the kids. But the post office said they are open everyday of the week to handle passports. A Saturday will be the best time for us.

I might or might not have some news in the next month or two. I refuse to say anything yet because every time before when I thought we might have news I told it and it did not work out. So I am going to keep mum! It is not about expecting another child either. If I was expecting I would be ready for the guys in the white jackets to come and get me. All I will say, if you will keep this in your prayers. I know it is hard to pray for something when you do not know what it is, but just ask the good lord to work on what is going on in my family.

Selena - my prayers are with you and I hope you get the news that you are hoping for.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Selena, good luck on your secret! My first guess was a baby. You sure shot that down!

 

[dreamakermom]

Selena~ Ditto on the luck ~ sending buckets of pixie dust. Give us something to toast about on Monday! Karen

Selena, good luck on your secret! My first guess was a baby. You sure shot that down!

A few years ago I think I would have been thrilled with another child, but not when my two are 12 and 10. No way. things are getting so much easier with them as they get older. We are able to do more things with them and not have to get someone to babysit them. Heck I just went back to work 5 years ago. years ago I started back full time.

Oh my docs just came by UPS!!!

I am so excited.

I had a question for you Sandy but when my door bell rang I totally forgot what it was. If I can remember it I will post here again.

LuLu and Karen I joined Curves today. My poor little body is all sore today. I like it though. That means I have been working.

Well we are off to see Must Love Dogs in a few hours. Erik went to visit my dad for the day so Mac and I are going to go shopping and the movies.

 

[Jsme]

OK. I was all excited about my docs coming and Jeff calls and tells me he is now on stand by if Irene hits us here in NC he might have to go work hurricane duty. The track of the storm is putting her back out to sea. So maybe she will stay there.

Here is a picture of us on our last cruise.

Where is everyone's pictures at????

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Sorry guys, a little big but don't have the time to resize it right now.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Sorry guys, a little big but don't have the time to resize it right now.

Okay that was me who posted the last 2 times, and it wasn't so big!!!! When I looked at it on my mom's computer it looked huge, now when I am at work it looks tiny!!! I give up, but you can kinda see my mom!!!!

 

[ImMarcik]

I was looking for a good picture to post last night. I will come up with something soon.

Happy Monday everyone!!!

 

[Jsme]

Sandy and Heidi. Yes the pic did turn our small but it looks like a wonderful picture to me. Sandy this can not be a fat picture of you. You are not fat in that picture!!!

Come on guys more pictures please. Sandy take loads on your repo cruise and send them to us or post them here!!! Wow I can't beleive you leave so soon! I hope you have a wonderful trip!! If I was not back in school I would be with you or at the least would be meeting you at the port!!

Went to cruves today. I tell you it really makes me feel so much better to go and work out. I was reading the members guide today. I am not going to change my eating habits since I am in my weight and fat range. I already watch what I eat and normally do well fro 5 out of 7 days. The alcohol thing might be my downfall though. I do like my wine in the evenings. Although I do not drink it every night. BUT since I have to go back to work tomorrow I might be needing it every night!!

I am ticked at Jeff but I have to make up with him so he will iron my clothes for tomorrow. It is about the only thing he does to help me out...EVER! So I have to make up when he comes back in from mowing. This is what I am ticked over. Long story.

Well wish me luck with work tomorrow!!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

We are here to listen if you want to vent and share your story with us Selena!!!!

My mom is MIA because my parents had to take a very close friend that we consider family to the hospital on Sunday afternoon. They were at the hospital on Sunday from about 1:00pm until 3:30am on Monday. They came home for a few hours of sleep and stopped to eat Sunday dinner at 4:00am on Monday morning and they were back at the hospital at 8:30am on Monday again and I am sure through the night. I haven't talked to her since 3:30pm yesterday but my last call was at 9:00pm and I know they were still at the hospital. I am not sure what is going on.

I hope this doesn't ruin my mom and dad's vacation. Please keep our family in your prayers.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys, just checking in. Heidi pretty much told you everything. I just wanted you to know why I was MIA. Hello to all. I probably won't post much if anything until after the cruise. Have a great couple of weeks everyone. Our friend is not doing well at all but we have decided to take the cruise. She has one other friend that will hopefully take over for us.

 

[dreamakermom]

Hi guys!!!! Man, I miss you!!! I have been busy and I see you guys are also!! Before I forget, when I went to work last night and told people about the cruise and about being able to bring alcohol onboard (carry on) they all told me I was worng and that I better check into that. So now I am panicking. (Maybe that is just withdrawals I am experiencing!!!) Anyway, I told them I would check with my experts (you guys!!!)

Next, Sandy ~ Have fun on your cruise!!!! Your friend would want you to be having fun... that is what it is all about... taking time and making memories.

Next, next Selena~ Much luck on your job. I know how hard it is to re-adjust... that is why I haven't been on as much. I went from being home all the time to working 5:30-11,( but it takes me a while to get into work) and on top of that I watchmy granddaughter during the day and also have a husband that only does what he needs done. In fact, he is going to Nebraska on Thursday for a getaway... life is tough, huh?? He just sprung on me the other day he does not want to live here in Florida. So.... things willbe interesting around here!!!!

Next, next, next~ All your pictures are great!!! There is absolutely no way I could figure out how to do this. I am SO Lucky I got this far on the boards... I don't even know how I did that!! And adding a countdown... well, thanks to a fellow disser, I got that or Iwouldn't have known how to get that far!!

Selena~ any news on the secret???

Heidi~ those were beautiful pics of you. You are a very pretty girl with a beautiful smile and Selena, you look tiny and Sandy, Selena is right~ you are NOT fat by any means. Although, I understand how you feel. I am still trying to go down 2 sizes before the cruise.

OK guys... gotta go. If anyone hears anything different about bringing alcohol in the ship when we board.. please let me know!! Have a happpy!!! Karen

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Karen, it sure is tough being a guy, huh?? Take a deep breath and soon you will be on YOUR cruise. Yes, you can bring alcohol on the ship. We have done it with carry on and checked in our luggage. I wrote an email to DCL about shipping food and wine for the cruise and they said they accept anything that is USDA approved and as far as wine check with our postal service. Food must be in the original container UNOPENED. That was for shipping so that means they allow alcohol!

Guess I am lucky to have married my husband. He is perfect. He helps me and I help him.

 

[Jsme]

No I am not big. I just have areas I need to work on. Like I told you in a pm, my bum and hips needs work. I


As far as my secret, I will not know for several weeks or it might even be a few months. It would totally change my families life though. But for the good I hope. If it is God's will it will happen. In the past I was so geared up for this to happen, but now I am going with the flow of God here. I totally trust he knows what is best.

I am going to work on my door sign in the next few days!! I am trying to get some programs from work that I can use on my computer at home. I have nothing on my comuter at home!! NOTHING.

Update: Jeff did iron for me. Last night we just had some communication problems. LOL

The kids are gone to my parents for the week. I did not want them at home alone while I worked. I would not have gotten anything done from all the phone calls they would have made to me. So it is date week this week!

Sandy, I will be praying for your friend. I hope you also have a wonderful trip!

My day at home has been nice. Busy. I have so much work to do.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Karen - Thanks for the compliment!!!! Can you email me a picture? If you know how to do that I will post a picture for you, it is actually very very easy thanks to Selena!!!

Mom - have fun on the cruise, rest and relax and everything will be okay....I will take good care of Lou for you.
