Oh Laundry Fairy!!! Come to Utah TOO!!!!! I since yesterday, I've been putting my clean laundry on my love-seat to be folded...I'm so busy and the laundry is overwelming! Disposible clothes is what my family needs! I love the "when I was little" comment!I need the laundry fairy to visit my house. Please come and do my laundry, (crossing fingers shutting eyes real tight like I used to do when I was little) I used to be little? Just XXL over here.
Most EMOS are just wanna-be's. If she starts cutting herself, then worry. I say as long as she doesn't look slutty or does anything permanent to her hair or body...then it's somewhat ok. I asked my DS18 who is the foremost authority on everything, and he says emos are going out of style.(She tries to embrace this "emo" culture TO much, anyone else have teenagers, or is this like a foreign language? I wish I knew less about it, believe me) so for the past 3 days it's been black pants...which she only has 2 pairs of. I've been telling (nagging, I'll admit it) her to WEAR OTHER CLOTHES! She has clothes that still have the tags on them. Clothes that she has only worn one time, probably just to keep me quiet...clothes SHE picked out and chooses not to wear, so it's not like I'm buying the "wrong" thing. Believe me, I've learned not to just buy something that I think is cute for her. So this morning it went from the overworn black pants to the dark gray jeans with a big hole in the knee (not by design, AND that I told her the last time she wore them are only play clothes now) to finally a pair of jeans. I didn't care WHICH pair of jeans, just not the same black pants or the worn out gray ones. I honestly think she does it on purpose. I can see her in her closet, staring at her clothes with a manical look in her eyes, thinking, "Yes yes, My Preeeecious, what can I wear Toooday to thwart the Eeeevil Queen...MUH HA HA " grinning with evil glee as she rubs her hands together.
OK! Anyway, I feel better now. That book got it wrong, men aren't from Mars,TEENAGERS ARE. I love my kids.
Well, whaddya know, the 3 goals worked! I lost 2 pounds this week to put me at my lowest ever adult weight of 177.2. The loss gives me a grand total weight loss of 38.8 pounds lost since the start of the year, and an uber-grand total weight loss of 62.8 pounds lost since April 2005. I am now 2.2 pounds from my Christmas goal (which I may need to increase a bit depending on how quickly I can lose those 2.2 pounds), and 22.2 pounds from my ultimate goal weight of 155.
I'm thinking I'll be keeping these three goals (no mindless nibbling, no extra helpings of supper, Yoga/Pilate's every night), because they are really the three things holding me back from having this kind of success every week.
I'll post an update of our Christmas goals sometime this afternoon.
Happy weigh-ins everyone!
SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!! You must be thrilled! Love your "uber-grand total"
HA HA HA!!!!UtahMamathat you are going dive to get it out of my mouth thanks
, that's a support team I tell ya
UM, I have a Chesapeake Retriever and a Koon Hound/Australian Shepherd mix. They are both female and dumb as two bags of rocks. I love them but only I could. The retriever actually was on doggy Prozac once for separation anxiety. Then she OD'ed on them when she grabbed the bottle off the counter and ate the entire thing. I wasn't home at the time and found the bottle chewed to bits when I got home. I had to pour peroxide down her throat to make her puke. I was chasing her around the yard in the snow to do this and then she didn't throw up until I put her in my car to take her to the vet. See, only I could love these animals. I also have two birds, one of which is on drugs 2X a day for epilepsy...![]()
Yay! DOG PUKE! I can just see you chasing her around the yard to pour peroxide down her throat!

That is my living room at the moment. Behind where I was standing is this.

Here's the progress so far: This is the kitchen before we took anything out. Messy I know. I moved the TV over so we can put up the tree tonight. I have boxes and baskets everywhere!

It's HUGE! I love when the living room, dining area and kitchen are "open"-Mine is somewhat closed off visually, so I want to MOVE. We just had this house built 2 1/2 years ago and now I saw an Ivory Plan I just LOVE.
