Am I to believe there is a chain of Brazilian restaurants? No way!
And Lyz, come on - you wouldn't want to go to bed with someone who appreciates you? Oh, lordy, who wouldn't???
OMG! That is awesome. You tiny little woman. I'm so green.
Yeah, but I still have muffin tops, so don't get too green.
Ohhh, good for you. Did the jeans come in? And Amy asked this later, but what brand are they?
No, not here yet, but they will be tomorrow, I think. I am excited to try them on. Ok, I will tell you guys the jeans, but only because I love you. Seriously. These babies are the best kept secret ever. And the interesting thing is that they fit all shapes and sizes...really tall and really short, wide hips, etc. Kinda like the movie.
Anyway, they are Levi 505s. Here's the thing, they are 98% denim and about 2% spandex and so they are SO comfortable. They feel like you are wearing sweats, I swear it. But they don't look all lose and baggy...the just FEEL that way. I get them from www.denimexpress.com but I first discovered them at Kohl's.
BURNS me up. Like I don't have enough to do. I have to "mother" my husband. Who the heck appreciates me. No one. But that doens't make me want to go bed a stranger that might "appreciate" me.
Ok, off my soapbox. Bloodpressure is stabilizing.
Ha. This made me laugh. Just saw you getting all red in the face, etc.
And Nancy, I must say, I am not ignoring you. I don't quote you as much as the others, simply due to the fact, most of your responses are "in" someone else's quote. And it's too much work to go grab what clever ditty you put in there. I'm missing alot of good stuff here. Stop it.
WORD. I feel the same way. Nancy has LOTS of stuff that I would quote, but can't.
E! Wowzers! That is great! Totally!
I know, right?
NOT rude at all. It would be a shame! if you were that close and didn't come.
Totally.
Kat! Quit hiding. Not enough posting here and now I see why. Do your thing. Get it out of your system and then get your "ask" to the gym.
WORD.
Ok, $50 is a great price, but that is probably indicative of the state of affairs at that hotel.
I, being the snob I am, said, ummm, I don't wanna.
He says, it's not a big deal.
I am agast.
He pulls up.
I threw out the ultimatium. "If we get in there and it's filthy with matted carpet and spooge on the walls, I am leaving."
He said, go in and look at a room.
I said, "I can't do that!"
Guess what. I did. I asked the clerk if I could "see" a room. It was disgusting. I wish I had taken a picture. The floors were all wood laminate (odd, but probably a good idea). The room was "non smoking", even had a sign, but it reeked and had an ashtray on the vanity. The bedspread had to have come from a yard sale (in the 80's, it was "swatch watch" cool) and was askew. The shower was, blech.
I decided, no go. But then I had to go tell the clerk.I'm such a witch. I said, "thanks, but we aren't staying here." Walk of shame.
Am I to believe there is a chain of Brazilian restaurants? No way!
Yes Liz. And it was good. There is one in Orlando.
And Lyz, come on - you wouldn't want to go to bed with someone who appreciates you? Oh, lordy, who wouldn't???
. Exciting news from me - I know.
Whatev... I'm gonna try to go back to sleep now...
)
). . We took them at a park about 5 miles from my house though. And we live less than 5 miles from the number 1 beach in the USA (per Dr.Beach anyhow). 
AND DH is going grocery shopping and making the beer run. 
Hi Everyone!!
Lyz Welcome back! great trip report! Motel 6. Yuck. Another hotel snob here. Re: the sunset pics. My house? I wish!!
Lisa Happy Turkey Day!
Everyone
Sarah Hope you got some more Z's!
5 miler for me this morning. It took me about 3 minutes longer than I would have liked, but I'll take it. The last time I ran this route in May for that distance it took me 20 minutes longer so that is progress!!
I also made a cranberry-pear crisp, detailed the car, almost finished laundry and am one beer into my drunkfest! And DD is napping well. It seriously doesn't get much better than this.
Hope everyone is having a good day!
OMG. Did you guys see Oprah had on some "Dr." who wrote a book. "Why men cheat." (I think). Anyway, he said it's because men don't feel appreciated and the "other woman" makes them feel appreciated.
Well, let me tell you, I and 5 million other american women say, Who The F Cares?
"Oh, big man, you go out and do big work today. Good for you. Here, have some sgetti, I cut it up into little pieces for you."
BURNS me up. Like I don't have enough to do. I have to "mother" my husband. Who the heck appreciates me. No one. But that doens't make me want to go bed a stranger that might "appreciate" me.
Ok, off my soapbox. Bloodpressure is stabilizing.
Ol the talked about this on the radio the other morning~ I have lived through it and I don't think it has anything to do with that~ It's just a mans way of being an A$$. Exercise daily and he still cheats.. Just an A$$. Every time here I have been out of work and down on myself, um cuz no one appriciates ME~~~!!!!!
Ok, that sucks! I weigh in daily too. blah, blah, blah. I have to.
UMM yeah I do it too~ BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!
Steph - sounds like things are very good. I'm happy for you. It's an exciting time.
Have you made any declarations. Like you do with new situations. For instance, "I will not eat while sitting infront of the computer in this house?" I do that.
UM YES NO EATING IN LIVING ROOM AT DINNER TIME and less time at computer BOO!!!
Get that puter out of there. We can't be having any excuses.
I know I know waiting to get a new desk I tossed my old one!
Jumping on the trampoline is exausting. Steph, have you ever? I have.
UMMMMM NO you FREAK!!!
UMM NO LOSERS HERE!!!! We are all winners! YOu may have not have lost BUT YOU DIDN'T GAIN THAT IS A WIN WIN there!So, I went to Texas to put some final touches on the project there.
I did something I'm alittle ashamed of.
We got into Plano, (Hey Believen, I thought of you) to an area with multiple hotels. Hubs says "lets stay at Motel 6, it's only $50."
Ok, $50 is a great price, but that is probably indicative of the state of affairs at that hotel.
I, being the snob I am, said, ummm, I don't wanna.

We ended up staying at La Quinta. Good compromise don't you think. Very clean and oh so Mexicano sheik. And I didn't bring home any bedbugs.
We ate so much food this trip. He had lots of places to take me. And they all were good.
Erika, we went to Texas de Brazil. (you know what I'm talking about, but I know you'd never go there.) It was so good. O.M.G. Kat, you'd LOVE, L.O.V.E. it. It's an all you can eat meat orgy. The servers come to your table with spears of meat and just keep bringing it. You have a little sign, green means, "bring it", red means, "I'm good." Every kind of meat.
Anyway, all we did was work, eat and sleep. I didn't even get to shop.I had to get "something" for the girls. At the airport last night, I got them a sucker shaped like a steer.
I'm home and back in rotation. Oh, and strangely enough, I didn't gain a lb. Probably cause I was working and usually my butt is planted at my desk. That helped offset all the food.
Ultimatly that means, I am a challenge loser. Again.
So I should be happy that Riley's team won both of their games today (and they have another 2 games tomorrow as part of the tourney), but now this means that they have earned a berth in the play-offs, which are next week-end. This was supposed to be the last week of the season (which began August 4th). So....more week-ends on the sideline for me.
Oh no! and way to go Riley!
On a good note...we had to get there about 45 minutes before the game so that they boys could warm up, etc. All of the other moms are just sitting there chatting for the whole time. Me? I went for a run. Got 4 miles in instead of just sitting there chatting to the same mindless drones. (Ya, I am feeling a bit superior for it.
Of course you did. Good for you! And you know they were talking about you, right? ha.
Getting some work done for a bit and then taking the kids apple picking. Oh and Lyz...fall raspberries, too! I love fall berries...they are the HUGE ones. I'll send you some raspberry jam (low sugar, natch
