It amazes me how quickly cleaning supplies, shampoo, toothpaste, ect. adds up. I ran some errands after I dropped the boys off this morning & $95 later I walked out of Walmart :confused3 I even used coupons for crying out loud!

my goodness that is quite a bit. Of course, the cleaning supplies I have to get don't go on sale or have coupons so I am happy I don't usually have to buy them at the same time. :rotfl:

We had a friend buy our shampoo and conditioner in the gallon jugs at a beauty supply store...they have lasted almost 2 years so that was $40 well spent!!:thumbsup2
 
Want some cupcakes?

Hi, DDA!

Long time, no see again. Once I returned from Florida, I've been dealing with the round of sicknesses that seem to be plaguing the rest of you, too. I'm finally starting to feel semi-human again, which is a plus. I had a couple of days in there where I thought I was on the mend, but must have overdone it. I'm hoping to start feeling better from here on out!

It took me a while to catch up with you guys - lots of chatting and lots going on. Most importantly, I hope everyone that is sick begins getting well FAST, and lots of :wizard: :wizard: that the rest of you healthy folks don't get it!

Jen - any word on your firemen family?

Deb - you go with all your exercise! I hope you see the scales tipping back in your favor soon - it only stands to reason that they will.

Jennifer - I got your PM, and will look at the hotels you've listed. I must say I'm not familiar with most of them, but I'll see what I can find out. I hope the chiropractor can help your back!

Robyn - hope Emma gets to feeling better. I was also sorry to hear about your Uncle Buck.

Elizabeth - hope DH can avoid whatever DS had, and that you can too! Congrats on getting your DVC ressies more to your liking!

Anne Marie - did you guys hear anything on your offer? Congrats on getting the great deals in August! How did you get the free dining, too? Did you have a pin code?

Bernadette - it was great seeing you again, and meeting Lizzy. From your TR, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun, despite the weater heading south on you. Your pics of the Poly definitely have me wishing we could have kept our bounceback reservation I made for there in March!

Tammi - any luck getting a BLT ressie? Congrats to Alyssa on being Student of the Month!

Tia - sounds like Terra's party is coming together, and the house hunting is in full swing, too. I'm glad things worked out fairly well with your sister.

Stephanie - yay for a Sept. trip! I had a feeling you'd figure it out. ;) The key to those hot times of year is plenty of pool and nap time, IMO.

Terry - I hope you get to feeling better soon. You must be feeling pretty poorly to give that Neti pot a try. :eek: ;)

Debbie - I hope things at work improve for you soon. :hug: Yay for only 5 days until your new grandprincess arrives!

Jennifer - your trip is getting so close! :woohoo: Where are those pics you promised of the girls' styling wardrobes? Hope you're all feeling better.

Elin - sounds like you've been really busy as usual! Hope you're not getting another cold.

Marci - sorry to hear that the numbers aren't looking good at work. Hopefully things will turn around very soon for y'all. Sounds like Randy's had a tough few days, too! Hope you're able to decompress over the weekend (but do you ever??)!

Theresa - loved the recent pics you posted. Cassidy's boyfriend looks like a keeper! :thumbsup2 :wizard: for the job search!

Tom - welcome home! I loved reading your brief recaps, and hope the magic flowed the whole time.

Heidi - yay - you're going to Disney so soon! :banana:

Janet - hope that cold leaves you soon. Sorry for the Wal-Mart bill. :hug:

Well, I need to try to get some things done around here while I have some energy. Catch ya later!
 

:wizard: :wizard: Feel Better

Colby was alright this morning. The teeth looked fine and he didn't mention them. He even brushed without complaint :thumbsup2 I'm a bit sore this morning so I gave my body a day off. I know that I will swim the next three days and I hope to get into the gym at least once too. I must say that I am very discouraged though. I did my weekly weigh in this morning and I am now up 3 lbs. I can't understand how that is even possible. Chris wonders if we are eating enough as he hasn't lost or gained since starting exercise. I seem to have lost the part of my WW materials that deals with adding exercise points, but I thought that was optional. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure that someone that attends meeting will set me straight...please?:confused3

Maybe our scales have a virus, Deb! I was up 3 pounds this week too... and I honestly did nothing different than in the past week. :confused:
 
Robyn - those look wonderful!

Lindsay - great to see you this afternoon!!

Terry - what are your dates at OBX this summer?

Thanks, Lindsay.

Emma does have an ear infection but is feeling better than she was.

I hope you continue feeling better. Impressive catch-up!!!

Just keep at it. At our meeting last night we had people that thought they did really good all week and gained weight and ones who thought they did horrible lose. So maybe it was something in the air.

Robyn - those look wonderful!

Lindsay - great to see you this afternoon!!

Terry - what are your dates at OBX this summer?

Thanks!
 
That is odd. She was probably hoping to pump you for info about your sister, not realizing that the two of you barely talk.

Oh, creepy.
One of Ms. Selfish's in-laws wants to be my friend on Facebook. WHY would that be, do you think? It's some aunt or something that I met ONCE, at Ms. Selfish's wedding. I hate to be rude and click "ignore", but I am kind of weirded out by it. I barely have any contact with my sister, why would I want her in-laws on my Facebook? :scared:

Mine has it, too! I ate well and gained weight! :confused: I like your answer, Elin!
 
Lindsay, your recap puts me to shame! :worship: Of course, it also makes me admit that I haven't kept my word.... honestly, I haven't even taken pictures yet! Everything is out on the bed, though, does that count? :blush:

I'm in the process of uploading some pictures now for the blog... maybe I will go snap a few, since I have no excuse!

I hope you are feeling 100% soon!

Nope. I am sure my sister has gone on at length about how she is the victim and I am evil. Her in-laws had to help her hire an attorney after her stunt with the money in our father's estate. (Which it now looks like Mom will get, IF she bothers to fill out the papers. :rolleyes: )

I see that one of the long-lost cousins is now friends with the aunt-in-law, which is too weird for words. I don't even know if my sister has ever met that cousin. I guess the aunt-in-law just haphazardly requested all of the relatives my sister has listed? It is WEIRD. At least the cousins are related to me by blood. For the life of me I can not imagine DH's aunt (if he had one still living) trying to be Facebook friends with my sister. Maybe that's what they do in their family, but I don't really want it to splash over on me!
 
Hi Lindsay! Don't over do it, you need to stay on track of getting healthy :goodvibes

Jennifer besides your two little one, have you been busy getting ready for the trip? Haven't seen you in a few days.

Well I did not bake any cookies today, but I have been busy with house chores. How come a day off seems like more work than actually going to work :rotfl:
 
Tom, welcome home! I can't wait to hear more about your trip, and I hope whatever "bad thing" happened was easily resolved!

Debbie, you all are so close to meeting your princess! :princess::cloud9:

We're hanging in there. The girls finally got over their GI thing, eventually, and now Elise has what I hope is just a cold. She was just congested, then for a day or two she bordered bronchilitic, now she's back to what seems like just a cold. In spite of that, we still had 10 babies over to play this morning! :faint:

I did just take pictures of the girls clothes since it came up again, I'll get them uploaded ASAP. I can't believe we are FINALLY going. Three weeks!

Hey, which means Heidi and Vicki go even sooner! :yay:
