Cranberry & Pineapple Continued.....Again.

Selena - Trader Joes sounds like a great place to shop, too bad we don't have any here in CO. I am sure it is a disappointment that you don't get any alone time with your BF, I would be bummed out too.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I am like you and Heidi, Selena. I would want that time alone with Bonnie, too. Now you will know what Heidi and I stay in every weekend. Our 5th wheel is certainly a rolling home that has everything. I think you will have an awesome time.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

Selena, we don't have an IKEA that I am aware of nor a Trader Joe's. IKEA has sparked an interest the last few months. I am proud of you that you stay on top of your weight. You do everything right!!! I agree, I feel best on WW. I went off when I sprained my foot, went to Costa Rica and then came home to Tyler. I need to go back. Wow, you leave in a day. I am jealous. Never been to Maryland or the East Coast for that matter. Have fun!

Not yet, Sandy, but IKEA is coming to CO and Tammy is counting the days. We still have IKEA furniture from when we lived in NJ. I also remember when I was in college and students would take the train out to the one on Long Island, then carry their boxes of build-it-yourself furniture on the train.

Cool! I keep hearing about it and seeing TV commercials when I am on east coast stations. Any idea where? Hopefully around all of us!

Supposed to be between County Line and Dry Creek, west of I-25.

That area doesn't surprise me. Thanks!

There are these really cool lamps that are more decorative then for light. They are only $9.99. There I found 2 other kinds of lamps I loved too. I want all 3 kinds. lol

You will love the store. They have a really cool looking bed I would love to buy when Mac moves out. OK I am sure that bed will not be there by the time she moves out. lol

Steph said that August is their huge huge month. That is when college kids are buying and also when their new catolog comes out. Meaning new stuff in the stores. She can take off at Christmas but said her manager said no time off in August.

Now Trader's Joe, is really cool too. It is just a small grocery store. There produce did not impress me too much but they did have a few options in that department that I can not find here in my town. Plus the pricing was very good.

I really liked their fresh pastas that was in the fridge section. .99 for a pack. I think I said I bought the garlic herb one. They also had normal and a whole wheat. I was going to go with the whole wheat but the herb one was lower in fat. I probably should have still gone with the whole wheat since it is better for me. I am excited about fixing the pizza tonite. I have bought mozarella, mushrooms, yellow pepper, turkey pepperoni and olives. I could do without the turkey pepperoni but I know the family will have to have meat on their pizza. I am also going to throw a salad together so that I will not eat much pizza.

I have lost 3lbs so far. Well that third pound is more like .5lb. lol I have not walked yet today so I am going to have to get my bum a movin.

I did run to the grocery store since Erik has ate everything in the house that he likes to eat. I really should have looked myself because as I was unloading I found some food he did not know about. I had put his snack cakes on the top shelf in my cupborad and he did not see them. It amazes me how a kid can over look stuff when it really is almost in front of their eyes. lol

I did feel a bit selfish to want some alone time with Bonnie but I just can not help myself. Tam and Kim are going to have Friday with them so I thought we would have Sunday. I do not mind that they have alone time with them, it is not like I am jealous. Because I am not. I am glad they get that but I wanted it too!! Now that sounds just crazy childish of me. Bonnie is like an older sister to me. I am very close to her and love her dearly. I just can not help but feel a bit ticked off because repeatly I have asked Tammy what day they are leaving. She has always said Sunday. I waited until yesterday to say we were staying until Monday. Stupid stupid me. I should not have said anything at all. I love Tammy and Kim a lot but they tend to do stuff like this often. I knew better than to say anything about us leaving on Sunday. Bonnie and I had made plans to go to Ocean City and take MacKenzie to the Boardwalk. We could travel in one car with 5 people but not with 7 people. So I know now we will not do that and Mac really was excited about it. OK I need to quit gripping. lol

 

[Jsme]

OK I am going to grip a bit more....but I want someone's opinion.

Last night when I was texting Tammy I asked again when they were leaving. She said on Sunday. I then said we were staying until Monday. She said that really they could stay too. Now I know she is not even thinking or doing this to upset me. I know she is only wanting to spend more time with us. I do totally understand this. But I am selfish enough to want alone time with Bonnie. Plus I wanted to go to Ocean City to the Boardwalk.

My question is ...would be be totally wrong to say something to her about I am surprised that they are staying? I do not want to let her know she hurt my feelings by staying because then she would think I do not want to spend time with them. We do but... I really wished last night I would have just texted to her...that surprises me because as we talked a few months ago that we would be coming in really late on Friday and that would give you time with Bonnie and Rich and if Jeff and I could stay until Monday that would give us time with them. I did not even think to say this to her last night. I think I was just too ticked off. Once again I know it is not being done on purpose.

I really think it is just too late to say anything now because I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. I just can't help but be disappointed. I mean they knew I wanted some time alone with them and she decides she wants more time too. Oh crap....OK I am going to quit mentioning it.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Man, that is a toughy. What is the right thing???? I don't know but I know what I would do and it is to "suck it up" and not say anything. I would be worried about hurt feelings as well. I would be sad just like you though.

 

[Jsme]

Yeah, I decided not to say anything because I know she did not mean anything by it but she does this type stuff all the time. It just is more annoying than anything.

Oh I looked at my pizza crust and it is made with whole wheat flour. Made me feel better.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Selena - I have heard a lot of people talk about how great Trader Joe's pizza crust is. I really wish we had one here! I feel bad for you with the situation with Bonnie and Tammy. I totally understand that you want alone time and know it is not a jealousy issue. When you are close to someone but don't get to see them very often, you want that time and it is not fair that other people take up "your" time! Glad you understand that she is not doing it to you on purpose and that she wants to spend more time with you also, it still is hard though. I'm sorry you don't get alone time with your BFF.

 

[Jsme]

I have come to terms with it and I do realize why they are staying. I think yesterday I was just upset and a bit hurt because a few months ago Tammy and I talked about how we would be in so late and I used that time to tell her then that they would have some good quality time with Bonnie and Richard. While if we get to stay on until Monday morning then we will get that time as well. Oh well...such is life.

Now on to the latest crisis of my life. lol We had planned to drive Jeff's company car because we pay to use it for personal usage. Well he comes in this morning from taking E to Driver's Ed and informs me that his tail light is out and we can not drive with it that way. I totally agree since we will being on the Cheasapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel at night. Plus Virginia is a real pain with tickets. It is better and much safer to use my car. This is the problem. I have to get new tires and an oil change in order to use my car. Of course when I realized this and texted Jeff it is in the middle of his meeting. I don't know what to do. I can not go get my new tires right now because I have to pick up E in a few then I have to wait on my dad to come down. At this rate it would have been better for us to have taken his car to the shop this morning, as I suggested. He could have driven my car to his meeting while his car was getting fixed. Now we will have to leave even later than we had planned. It is just a real pain in the bum. I am waiting for him to text or call me to tell me what to do. Of course buying a new set of tires takes all my money for this trip. I had not planned or put in the budget for tires until August. I knew then my dad would buy them for me for my birthday.

Sandy & Heidi, as long as the boys are going to be annoyed over yelling "Low Stone" and "Hey cow, stop being so boring!" make sure that you respond to each of their sneezes thusly on your Yellowstone trip:

This is great. We are going to be so annoying. Just think, two full weeks stuck in tight places with the two of us. Of course, we will give you credit.

Selena, man, I know what you are talking about with tires. Ted just saw a protruding bump on one of our tires on the truck we need to pull the 5th wheel with for the two week vacation. I pray it doesn't need new tires since it is a "duely" (sp). Yikes that could break the bank! BUT, I am thankful that he noticed it BEFORE the trip!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Jrsy - darn work, I cannot read what you posted. I will have to read it at home.

Mom - it isn't a Yellowstone/Canada trip without something going wrong with the vehicle!

That is so true. I just bumped into (Judge )Tina today and they just had a blow out on the 5th wheel. Man, that's scary! Got that fixed and now the truck is in for work.

 

[ImMarcik]

I'm sleepy and it's our last night so we are staying out late. Hi monkeys

 

[ImMarcik]

Heidi, when are you going to Vegas? I'm thinking about doing a quick weekend trip in July to see someone I met there and Beth lives there so hopefully we can catch a show. I really and disney'd out and want to start doing Vegas more.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Marcie - So how was Vegas????? So how did you meet this person? Did you have fun, what kind of things did you do while you were there? We haven't made a date yet, but it won't be in July because that is when I go on our Yellowstone/Canada road trip with my parents. When we make plans, I will let you know!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Don't drop it there Marcie. We want to know more!!
