I actually did take a picture of the pie but I will be so busy once I get home I really doubt I will get to post it...There were 8 apples in it so it was a huge pie....and now it is a gone pie...I brought it in to work!

I am also having a facial in a couple weeks. As far as reasons, well, I just don't feel really great about my appearance right now. I have no motivation to lose weight right now and I am hoping by getting some other things done I will feel better about myself which may give me the motivation to lose weight. I am also considering tanning...I know it is not real good for you, but when I did it when I was a bit younger I remember how peaceful it was just to be there where it's warm and no one will disturb you. I almost always fell asleep in the beds. I think I may wait to do the haircut until closer to my disney trip in september...but we will see.


HMMM tacos for dinner...that's an idea...I don't think I have the ingredients, but I could put them on the list for next week.

I love facials!! I love pedis!

Motivation is very nice.

no onions??????

Or sour cream???

Gotta have onions and sour cream...what about tomatos?

I have never had a facial before so I am really excited! I do love pedis but it has been a while since I had one. I am supposed to have one in about a week and a half but it all depends on the persons other job and how they schedule her. She went from just doing spa stuff to doing spa stuff from home and working at Olive Garden...makes redeeming my GC's difficult!

So I guess being off for a few days wasn't such a bad thing...I completed my TR and got all my Photopass pictures up. WOO HOO!!!

What's for lunch ladies?

I had a Lean Cuisine. What else is new. But it was the rigatoni pasta and cheese and it was pretty darn good actually.

Tonight I'm trying a recipe from Giada DeLaurentis. Mustard glazed salmon. Then serving it with feta cheese, tomato couscous from Bobby Dean. (Paula Dean's son). I'll report back if the salmon is a winner. I know Beth will be chomping at the bit for this news!

You know it!!

LOL

A glass of water maybe?

You know better then to skip meals! We miss you on the WISH thread by the way.

I made 3 loaves of banana bread and an apple pie yesterday. It was my first pie ever and it came out great! I am very pleased! My crust was really flaky!

Way to go!!

I am also considering tanning...I know it is not real good for you, but when I did it when I was a bit younger I remember how peaceful it was just to be there where it's warm and no one will disturb you.

Sarah, you are right, it's not good for you. I don't want to sound too preachy, but between the risk of skin cancer and premature aging, it's not worth it. I used to go to the tanning salon daily for a half an hour each time! This was of course back when I could wear a bikini and thought I needed to be tan. Now I WISH someone had stopped me. I worry all the time about skin cancer and I'm getting so many wrinkles and sun spots.

They have made wonderful advancements in those spray tans. Have you looked into those? Just a thought. I care about you so that's the only reason I mention it. Hope I didn't sound too much like a bossy "momma".

And shredded cheese?

Mmmmmmmm, Cheese.

 

[sahbushka]

And shredded cheese?

How about salsa?

I'm going to second what Beth said. I too did a tanning salon for awhile before my wedding. Totally loved the outcome....at the time. My ex father in law has skin cancer. Boy when he found out I went to the tanning salon did he get upset, not mad, I mean really emotionally upset. Now I swear by sunscreen....I lather Ayden up so much it's rediculous at times. I've always wanted to try the mystic tan. A friend of mine does it and it looks amazing on her.

I actually have a friend who is starting a business out of her home and has a spray tan ....thing...I don't know what you call it. I may give her a call. I tan pretty well when I am outside, but he kiddos are very white, like their daddy...so we don't go out much.

I am so sleepy. I think apple pie has tripdafphan in it....(sp?)

My DS is turning 4 in two weeks. When he turned 3 he went from Angel to his present monstrosity of a self like a switch being turned on...I am praying for it to be tuned off the day he turns 4...he is just such a terror right now. Doesn't listen to a word I say. where did I go wrong.

((( hugs ))) Yea I don't know what people meant when they called it terrible twos. Ayden was still an angel till he hit 3. Then it all just changed. Hang in there.....

That sounds good. Let us know how it goes. I'm whiter than a ghost, so I'd be interested in something like that too. I've always wanted to try that Mystic Tan.

Thanks, I am trying. I don't want to bring down the thread again with all my mommy drama but I am just at my wits end. I keep thinking back to when my DH and I were trying to decide if we wanted to have kids or be DINKS (Double Income No Kids)...did we make the right decision? I just don't know. I hope they end up ok and I hope they don't kill anyone in the process.

Afternoon! Glad everyone liked the pics! I had to take that cake in to work cuz I knew I would eat it and besides it was WAY too rich! It would seriously make you hurl if you ate too much cuz it was THAT rich! Those kinds of cakes LOOK good but are WAY too rich for my blood LOL.

Anyway for lunch mom and I went to La Bou and I had my usual, Chinese Chicken Salad and a bowl of chicken and rice soup. It was yummy as usual.

I haven't been on the WISH thread in forever cuz the medicine I have been on has made me eat like a horse. I have gained like 5 pounds. I am now on a new one but I have SO not been motivated to work out and I am ALWAYS hungry. THis is the first week on my new meds but so far I am still craving stuff. Course the new meds it has only been the second day so far so it is hard to tell but then last night I went to red lobster and had lobster and shrimp so that didn't help either.

It was YUM too!!! But anyway I have GOT to get things under control cuz I was SO not done with my diet before and now I am starting to go the opposite direction. NOT GOOD.

So hopefully I can get back under control before things get really out of hand! It sucks when you get all your cravings back and your big appetite back cuz it is really hard to get back to eating good again! BLEH!

Anyway I am about to pick up the girls and I talked to my mom friend from swim and I am still not sure about tonight. She thinks she may keep her kids out for one more night. I am still up in the air about it.

Also mom and I found a great airfare to D.C. yesterday on Delta and then just today that flight went up. They still have a flight for that price but now it has 2 lousy stops and gets in really late.

So we need to make a decision soon! But if we have to take this NEW flight we would have to leave home at like 6 a.m. and not get there till almost 10 at night. And originally we could have gotten in at 4 p.m. but now we will have to stop in Salt Lake AND Atlanta and the one flight only had a 40 min and a 30 min layover but we are thinking we need longer ones so we don't miss our connections AND so we have some time to get food. So it is going to be a LONG day! So hopefully we can make it all work.

I did find some nice hotels though back there. I just have NEVER been there though and it is hard when you are going somewhere you know NOTHING about cuz you don't want to end up in a bad part of town or whatever. Plus I have NO idea abuot how long it is going to take to see stuff and there is SO much to see and do and I have a ton of books but trying to plan a trip THERE is just overwhelming.

But anyway time to run! See ya later!

You didn't go wrong. It's just a hard age. They want to be more independent and start testing to see what they can get away with. As long as you are consistent with your rules and discipline, it will eventually get better.

Notice I said better, but not easier. Each age presents it's own challenges. Especially the teens.

I've never heard the term DINKS..but I caught myself daydreaming after reading that. I would probably be at DL once a month then.
I'm sure they will end up just fine....and so will you. I don't care what anyone says...parenting is the toughest job there is!
