In search of my body...not the one I ate! Part Deux... We sit at the popular table!

[3DisneyKids]

Here are the cake pics from the week-end. These are all "mini" cakes. I really like how all of the chocolate ones turned out. These are variations on a theme...all different but go together.

Riley is a drummer, so his cake is shaped like a little drum...black licorice sticks for the drumsticks.

 

[HockeyKat]

KAT--eat something! You can't keep up these hours on no food! Vacation is only a few days away!

I wish I could... but I am still stuck in the same conf room whose walls I have been seeing continously for the last 2 weeks. No end in sight either, starting to look like I am going to get home at midnight just to turn around and come back.

Really, I can't express in words how absolutely terrible today has been.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Hi guys! I'm in a much better mood today!

In my effort to not spend 2 hours editing, here's my take on your lives:

AKASnow/Nancy: biking in public with giant maxi pads attached to the outside of her butt cheeks. (I really need a picture.)

Disney4xmas/Stephanie: buying a big girl house, fun, gets to decorate, fun, hubby budgeting, so NOT fun, spoiled growing up, fun.

Kat/Kitty Kat: likes summer Ale, packing for Disney already because she's being held hostage at work, and on her way to being "master of her puck."

3DK/EriKa: big weekend (involving MD, Birthdays, tball, pancakes, sore muscles, and cake, did you eat the cake?) I'll take 5 of the chocolate baby bundts. MMMMMMMM.

SG/Liz: livin' the life in Vancouver. How very metro. Thanks for checking in via iphone.

DizneyDawn: selling the molded kitchen storage solutions like there's no tomorrow.

Goof/Paula: has become one with the ball. The GOLF BALL. (and leaving sis in the DUST!)

BrcsPrncss/Stacey: getting married in 25 DAYS! (i was gonna place 25 dancing bananas, but in difference to EriKa, you get 3)

Hi

Here I am one year later from the days that I started a lifestyle change. Thanks to the support from WISH and the original thread, I got so confident in the way I looked after about 6 months of "dieting" and didn't mind taking pics one bit, and all the happy things that come with losing weight!

Well it all went downhill when I went away to NY for 5 months, and I feel like i'm back where I was a year ago. I'm back home now and ready to start the journey again, I hope WISH will play the role it did last year, full of support!

Nicole, Hi. Welcome to the club. (Not sure if this is the "original" thread you wanted, but your welcome either way.) We are all about losing weight. Or at least the others are. I like to daydream about it.

Really, I can't express in words how absolutely terrible today has been.

That is a depressing, depressing statement. Think about Disney. Overpriced hotdogs at Caseys, yummy Dolewhips, the best ride EVER - rockin' rollercoaster, fireworks and pumped in atmosphere - via music and smells. Only 4 more days. 4 more day. 4 more days. Say it with me. 4 more days.

NOW, regarding my life as of late...

Been very busy.

-Had a yard sale at my mom & dads Saturday. Fun. Sitting outside, joking/harassing/talking with sisters and parents all day. And I made a whole whopping $65. (it's gone already, )

-Remember I am in the market for a new car. I've wanted an SUV for like 8 years. Even before I bought my now paid off car. I know, it probably sounds petty, but oh well, call me petty. I want a seven passenger SUV.

So, DH keeps trying to get me to go look at Explorers. I keep telling him no, because I kinda enjoy not having a payment and didn't really want to spend the money. Just a little bit overwhelming. SO, for months now, he and his mom (who wants to buy my old car) keep on me about looking for a vechicle. I keep putting them off. Saturday, he calls me at the yard sale and says, do you want black or silver. (silver has a third row) So, I say silver.

Long story short, I got a new Kah! I am so excited. I love it. LOVE IT.

-Molli came home from camp and had a good time. Her hair was manageable, but I've yet to see the pictures.

Life is going good.

-Monday.

I come to work. Get on the internet. I was searching for a Mickey Mouse doo-dad. Click on a website and it was NOT MICKEY MOUSE!!! I clicked into highjackers hell. My computer is out of control. Spyware, virus, da da da. Click here to recover, stand on your head to fix, I swear to you, I did not know what to do or who to trust. I screwed it up even more. So, vibrating with anger, I get, literally, NOTHING done yesterday.

Gary, my computer guy, was here last night and is back this morning, fixing it. This has never happened to me before.

-Anyway, that's why I was MIA yesterday. Today is looking up.


ONE MORE THING: I was so excited about getting my 1000th post. Then I forgot and posted right on by it. Here is my official post about my 1000th post.

Later

 

[3DisneyKids]

I am in a horrible, miserable, rotten, foul mood!

I am royally ticked at all 3 kids and Jeff. No energy to go into the specifics, but I will just sum it up with that I am sick of the constant complaining about what I DON'T do!

Never mind a thank you for everything that I DO take care of...just the crap that happened not to get done in the 18 hours a day that I work.

I am just FUMING!

I head to the gym for my all-male workout at noon and I am hoping that I will feel better after that.

Hopefully I will pop back in later and be less foul.

EriKa - I feel ya! Families are often oblivious to just exactly what you do to make everyones life experience run smooth!!!

Maybe you should go on strike! (I know, we both know that is not gonna happen, but it's fun to imagine. Hey - that would make a good movie idea. Has that already been done? I'm not a big movie person.)

Be pissed off. And whip up on those girly men during your work out.

 

[goofyfan-12]

DWD - Congrats on the new car... we will want to see pictures.... you know how we love pictures....

3DK - I am sorry that you are in a foul mood today... We love you and appreciate you for all that you do even if your family is having a momentary lapse in judgement. You are afterall, our resident exercize nut, hang with the boys, running tights wearing, soccer mom, professor of greatness, body board motivator and above all else - the original goddess of the bunch... to think that your family doesn't appreciate you is just a crime.... Personally, I think aliens have taken them over and once they leave, the thankful bunch will be back... In the meantime, hang in there and here's hoping the invasion is short. Now go kick some butt in your boot camp class...

Kat - to quote the starfish from Nemo "find your happy place" Only four more days and you will be in the happy place and the hell that is work will be far behind you. Breathe.... think of your happy place.... see vacation isn't that far away at all....

Goof

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, I am back and feeling MUCH better.

Without even knowing it, my workout today was all boxing! It could not have come at a better time! I just beat the ever-lovin' sh*t out of that bag! And I lapped the guys during the run! There were definitely some comments today (and remember, these are the silent ones) about how they didn't envy the bag, etc.

Granted, I won't be able to raise my arms tomorrow... ...but it felt great. And I left all of my emotional crap there on the gym floor. Very cleansing!

LYZ--Awesome on the new rig! Yes, pics are a must around here! I love getting a new car (or a new-used car). When it has yet to have a juice box spilled in it...or crushed goldfish...and good Lord, the sand from the beach. But...YIKES! You went from the Taurus to an SUV in this gas market! Be prepared to get scared!

Paula--Glad that you went walking and beat sis! WOO HOO! That had to feel good!

Stephanie--we will want pics and details about the house as they become available. We expect you to clear your decorating choices through us!

Everyone else--I am not commenting on your lives till you get in here and post! And I box now...so watch out!

I am scared! And I haven't even put gas in it yet!

And so far, morning chocolate milk, even in sippy cups, has been banned. (you know how it gets hot later in the day and bubbles out, YUCK!)

Paula--Glad that you went walking and beat sis! WOO HOO! That had to feel good!

That. Was funny.

Really. Where is everyone?

 

[goofyfan-12]

Ok, I am back and feeling MUCH better.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better... Nothing like a little boxing to take out some aggression....

Everyone else--I am not commenting on your lives till you get in here and post! And I box now...so watch out!

OK - I just got the images of you showing up on my porch to take me running with you and now you put the image of you boxing my way to the beach in my head.... I am going to be sending you my therapy bills....

Goof

 

[Dizneydawn]

I just got home from my first outing on my new bike! I LOVE IT! DH rode with me (he rode the mountain bike...) we went 17 miles, took us just over an hour. (I think my hiney is going to be a bit sore though - not quite used to that seat yet! )
So do you have streamers and a basket and a horn...or are you ghetto fabulous?

Really..I want to get a bike as well... Dan has one already but needs to bring it up from Nebraska....he will this weekend he says

But the ULTRA, incredible, AMAZING news is that she is DOWN ANOTHER 3 POUNDS!

I am so flippin proud...have tears and all...that 55 pound ribbon makes me wanna hug something soft...so I grabbed my butt and gave it a squeeze...

The bad news is that I stress ate my way through my 3 pound loss from last week and am now back to where I started.... One of these days I'll get this emotional eating thing under control...
Sister...I am so with ya...
The good news is that I am making progress on my packing. I have uncovered a few more square feet of floor in my bedroom and have purged a few bags of clothes already. It is amazing how much crap one person can accumulate in just a few years...
I also can relate...getting ready for a garage sale...probably $8,000 in Tupperware and another $5000 in teen clothes..[COLOR]

Did I mention I am golfing again.... Hi...my name is Dawn and I love to whack balls...



Dawn – I did get your message on Saturday… I will give you a call tonight or tomorrow I promise…. I want to hear the funny story you wanted to share….
It is funny..I will have to taell ya later...
Nancy – how are the padded shorts working for you?
they work grand...they are called Bumper Plumpers...
Jodi – I think I may have to start calling you Forrest Gump with all of the walking you are doing…
Run... Jodi Run...
where is my 7 iron...I just whacked a ball with it...problem...it was attached to the Giant Turd...
Paula

2. "The Dance Recital." Never. In. Your. Whole. Life. have you seen grown women act like this. The doors open at 5:30, and it is a stampede for a seat and the the other 3, you are "allowed to save." I literally take my mom to hold spots so I can go glam Maddi up. (I've been doing this since Molli was 3, so no biggie, but I give the lowdown to newbies, that I know.) It's like dining at CRT, you've got to have a stragety.

I had all 3 kids in competitions once...I was on a lot of drugs back then...

I left with a renewed sense of respect for the organization, at a national and state level, and I felt very pumped by all those women of different ages and backgrounds working to help others - locally and nationally. Very powerful stuff, especially as survivors reach out to victims, turning the tide of their lives.

After saying all that it seems silly to show you my clothes, huh?

Well, here are Elizabeth and I:

You look fabtabulous and the emotion of that night would have got to me as well...what a great woman and a great cause to celebrate...

Well, excuse US, miss fancy "I have so much traveling to do that I don't have time for all of you..." You know I am kidding! Have a FAB time and just know that I am all kinds of jealous!

This while funny..was no joke...I know she wanted to call you the itch word for dumping us..I can't imagine being busy and not posting...the nerve of some people...

So I haven't been on in a couple of days because we have decided that it is time to grow up and get a house no more renting!!! Unfortunately I can't have Erika's house! I really REALLY WANT IT though! We are going with same style just smaller! Hopefully we will be in by fall!
Yeah for the new home...
Then to top that off today we went to the orthodontist YIKE $3800 and then he isn't sure if she will need to see a specialist for the TMJ after he is done!! I think I need to trading in kids like you trade in cars when they start costing to much!
If you find a website for this option...can you post a link???
!

I am still stuck here. Mr Kat thinks I am having an affair. Yeah right, I would really choose to stick around in Cletus-ville, NC.
Doesn't he know if you were having an affair it would be in Disney with one of the dwarfs...just make sure it's not Grumpy or I will beat you like you were a pinata filled with chocolate...and gum....and maybe a lil bits of sugar babies...cause I like them the best...

You know, I had mentioned yesterday to the King of Problem Management who is directing this mess (and when I say King, I mean he is about 4 steps below the top and this is a company w/ 20,000 employees), that I had lost 50 lbs in the last year, mostly during lunch when they were eating Pizza Hut and I was munching on a salad that they kindly got for me. So today, he had lunch specially catered in from a place that served really healthy foods... salad, had fat free dressing available, fruit plates, etc. I thought that was REALLY nice of him.
Wow....very impressed...
And, I went to Belk (dept store) because the vendor had to buy clothes (yup, stuck here unawares, poor guy), and I was picking a few things off the clearance rack. I chose 12s, thinking, well, they might fit... and they fit with ROOM. And I am now choosing Ms in shirts. I was looking at a rack with some bright blue shirts w/ a horizontal stripe and asked the woman next to me if it was too loud, and she said, well, for me, the horizontal stripes would make me too wide, but for you it would be perfect. And with white pants. WHITE pants?? I was like, nah, too wide for white, and she looked at me like I was nuts. I haven't felt normal sized in so long....
Watch out ladies..she will be shopping for mellons soon in her bikini...she will be one of those women who hang out at the airport with their thong hanging out of the back of her low rise jeans and cowboy boots with an extra heel and a white cotton dress shirt...tied at the waist...with a cowboy hat...and a low pony underneath...(Okay...that is my dream outfit...sheesh...first my man..then my clothes...you are so selfish you coy Kat...

Really, I am not dead. I am sorry I was MIA the last week. There has been drama on the workfront that has occupied all of m,y time. I will be back this afternoon to try to catch-up. I miss you guys!

You were not dead mon...just in a busy coma like me...

So, my brain is kind of numb.... got the call about my grandpa, it's cancer, it metastacized... it's on his liver and pancreas... The prognosis is decent, they think they can knock it out with chemo & radiation, but he isn't the healthiest kid on the block, and oh yea, he's like 74

Thought with you baby girl...

Hey everyone...

The date went well. Lots of good conversation. We'll see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed...

Paula

she was typing as he was throwing her passionately on the bed..do not believe there was not more...I was not born yesterday...

Sorry.... it just wasn't that eventful.... we met for drinks, chatted about our jobs, families, his new puppy and speeding tickets (he had to appear today for one).
Seee..right there...he showed her his "puppy"...Paula...you are a vixen in those shoes...
My outfit was my dark rinse trouser jeans, a red tee shirt with an ivory linen jacket. I opted for comfy shoes and wore my red patent leather loafers... I thought I looked cute and was glad I went with the jacket. He walked in wearing a suit....
That is Hollywood speak for his "birthday suit"...
BTW - I have been in Disney planning mode... Getting ready to make dining reservations for the big trip in December...
What...have we decided on what or when we are doing what....
Goof

Today I leave for Vancouver. Sooo lucky...I have never been...although I dated a guy from Cacada in HS and went there often..just not Vancouver...what a great surprise you have...

[I am ready to go to Disney too!!![/B]Did I miss something...are you coming in DEC???



Ok. Here is a dress rehersal pic. The well hidden color of the costume is:

She's was tired of smiling, so she gave me a little attitude.

Soo super cute...sassy like her ma....

DAWN--haven't heard from you in days...please let us know what is going on. Hope all is ok!

Thanks...I will give an update...

Dawn - I guess if you have to be busy then busy in business is a good way to go. I am thrilled that the parties are going well and you are making some money... You deserve the good luck that is coming your way right now. Tell Treynor we are proud of his soccer moves. I'm sure the college scholarships are not that far away. Besides - I am looking forward to the construction conversations with him in December. I am going to fill his mind with all sorts of cool info to head back to school with...
He is excited about that as well....I will pass on the grats to him...and a big thank yu for the Tupper blessings...

OKay okay...please don't beat me massa...I am here and I will post...

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

OKay okay...please don't beat me massa...I am here and I will post...

It's. About. Freaking. Time.

I'm gonna go make pork chops for dinner. (Which Molli may or may not eat, depending on how much Maddi ribs her that it's Blackie. )

And then I'll be back to see what in the heck you've been up to for, oh, the last 3 weeks!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Okay...

Here is a long winded saga..cut short hopefully...

First off...can I please have someone walk me through aim...on the phone with me..and can you let me know when you all are on...I would love to get on once in a while...the problem is..I have no clue how...and I am busy a lot in the summer...but I will try...

The major benefit..is privacy...

I know for a fact that Dan's ex-wife is reading these posts...and it is really a cruddy place to be worried about saying anything beacuse she has no filter in speaking in front of their girls or tattling to his mom...

When Dan wrote about his childhood..she chose to call his mom and tell her what he shared...

Why??? In my opinion...it is because she does not consider that Dan should have a right to private thoughts and feelings and share what he wants with whom he wants...

Beacuse she is hurt about their divorce...she wants to spread that hurt...regardless of who is on the receiving end...

Dan did not speak her name here...real or assumed via the boards...or let anyone know who she was...just how he felt about his marriage and his life...it was his viewpoint...and he should have the ability to have that...

We all look at this thread as a safe place to share...and cry...and laugh...about weight loss and our lives...and share what we want with whom we want...no one likes feeling forced to have their most personal laundry aired...we all talk about family and I would never think to call your husbands, friends or parents....we all have bad days and good days and have days we talk vulnerably...and I cherish that with you all...I just wish Dan could feel that way here still...

I am sick and tired of worrying about her...not her feelings or her thoughts...but what she will do with anything she reads...who she will hurt with it...but...I cannot be responsible for that anymore...I cannot try and protect people from her actions or reactions....I cannot be more worried about her actions than she is ....

I can not stop her...but I can control her getting to me...and so now I am done...I flicked her like a bug...

I am not gonna squish her...cause then she will be stuck on me...

and I do not need her guts squished to me...

thank you very much...

Okay enough of that....

Treyner is kicking butt at soccer...he plays on Saturday now because his game on Mothers Day was rained out...which means he plays on Prom Day...and his game is at noon...Grand March is at 4p.m....his game is 2 hours...we are 45 minutes away from the game to home to shower...which means he better look good in 5 minutes to have a few pics taken..before the grand march....

I will be a stressed out biach I am sure... There will be college scouts there also...and we have no time to talk....bye bye....call us with your full ride potentials...

I am really kicking hind end in Tupperware...I have over $3,500 in sales so far and 5 new recruits....and I am in this program that my sales really matter...a trip to Hawaii is on the line in 1 year...can you say aloha!!!

Carsyn and Baylor are doing great...soccer is keeping them busy and school is on it's last leg....

Well that is all...I am really sorry but I honestly have been working and running and my business needs to grow so I can take care of my family...and move on to the new chapter of my life...

I promise I do think of you all every day...and that is followed by a..."I am going to Hades for not getting on and posting more..."

 

[HockeyKat]

I am in a horrible, miserable, rotten, foul mood!

I am royally ticked at all 3 kids and Jeff. No energy to go into the specifics, but I will just sum it up with that I am sick of the constant complaining about what I DON'T do!

Hopefully I will pop back in later and be less foul.

Sorry. Glad that you got it all out in boxing!!!

Kat - to quote the starfish from Nemo "find your happy place" Only four more days and you will be in the happy place and the hell that is work will be far behind you. Breathe.... think of your happy place.... see vacation isn't that far away at all....

Goof

Oh definitely!!

That is a depressing, depressing statement. Think about Disney. Overpriced hotdogs at Caseys, yummy Dolewhips, the best ride EVER - rockin' rollercoaster, fireworks and pumped in atmosphere - via music and smells. Only 4 more days. 4 more day. 4 more days. Say it with me. 4 more days.

...

Long story short, I got a new Kah! I am so excited. I love it. LOVE IT.

...

I was in a really, really, REALLY bad place yesterday. I am doing much better today. I was still stuck in Wilson today, but we upgraded conference rooms (I could see OUTSIDE!!), and really, today was a much better day. I also have been somewhat given the feeling that my efforts are not going unnoticed nor unappreciated by my management (who was there w/ me today), and that is also a good thing.

I did, however, not eat dietary food tonight. I got home around 7:30 and we went out for Mexican. Considering my total intake for the last two days was 2 salads and 2 shots of vodka (last night when I got home at 12:30AM), I don't feel that bad about it.


Lyz, congrats on the car!!


And Dawn, .

 

[3DisneyKids]

It's. About. Freaking. Time.

What she said!

I'm gonna go make pork chops for dinner. (Which Molli may or may not eat, depending on how much Maddi ribs her that it's Blackie. )

And then I'll be back to see what in the heck you've been up to for, oh, the last 3 weeks!

We still pics of the pigs. Pig Pics.

First off...can I please have someone walk me through aim...on the phone with me..and can you let me know when you all are on...I would love to get on once in a while...the problem is..I have no clue how...and I am busy a lot in the summer...but I will try...

Sure...call any time and I will walk you through it. But basically, here is the gist...(first, I am assuming that you have AIM 6...this is the newest one and since you just downloaded it, I am assuming you got the newest one).

Log on

Click Edit

Click Add a buddy

Type in my name (or anyone else's) DocErika

If your "buddy" is online, then the screen name is in dark bold print. If not online, it is grayed out. So, if you see one of us online, just double click on the screen name. It opens an IM window...and start typing away.

I am online right now, so if you are reading this, jump on. I don't have your screen name...I will look back in the thread and see if I can find it.

As for when we are all on...there is no set schedule at all. It just happens. I am on a lot (for work) and so if someone else logs on and sees that I am on, then she IMs me and so it goes. Then if someone else should log on, we open a chat room and there we all are.



Why??? In my opinion...it is because she does not consider that Dan should have a right to private thoughts and feelings and share what he wants with whom he wants...

You are spending way too much time and emotional energy on her. Why? This woman has no power over either you or Dan unless you give it to her. Don't. Spend your time and energy on us.

You can't control her anyway. You cannot change her. You cannot change the situation. You can only change your reaction to it.

Yeah, I'm brilliant.

Treyner is kicking butt at soccer...he plays on Saturday now because his game on Mothers Day was rained out...which means he plays on Prom Day...and his game is at noon...Grand March is at 4p.m....his game is 2 hours...we are 45 minutes away from the game to home to shower...which means he better look good in 5 minutes to have a few pics taken..before the grand march....

You know we will be requiring pics!

I am really kicking hind end in Tupperware...I have over $3,500 in sales so far and 5 new recruits....and I am in this program that my sales really matter...a trip to Hawaii is on the line in 1 year...can you say aloha!!!

So glad that the business is going well! I know how much it means to you right now...and just look at what you can accomplish once you put your mind to it! I am so proud of you for making it work and making this a priority and focus!

And what the hell is up with the cowboy boots and hat?!?!? You know that you live in the NORTH, right???

My life...VERY chaotic now. Not supposed to be. The semester ended and I am supposed to SLOW DOWN this month. Well, one thing lead to another and I pickup THREE new contracts for this month. All of this in the middle of kid sport hell (they all have multiple games and practices right now). What with the price of everything sky-rocketing, I just didn't feel it was fair to pass up big $$ for my family. (Plus, I like to SPEND! ) But man, I am stressed. I honestly do not know how I am going to find time for it all.

On the positive side, I told J that since I am making so much more than anticipated right now, I am going to buy his and hers bikes (did I tell you that I did a 16 mile ride the other day? Felt good! Lyz--g'head...throw it, baby...). AND I am going to plan a massive WDW trip.

Dawn, I'm sorry you and Dan do not feel comfortable here. EriKa's comment (above in purple) is right. And I know that's easier said than done, but, I think you have to realize, when she is spreads sh**, other people, are considering the source. She is seen as an emotionally crazy, bitter, ex. While she may be able to spread sh** around, everyone can smell it all over her already.

Worse comes to worse, Kat, our computer genius, can set us up with our own forum. Yeah baby. Password protection and all. Can't ya, KittyKat? You have so much free time and all.

Maybe we should set up a date for and AIM chat.

Treyner is kicking butt at soccer...he plays on Saturday now because his game on Mothers Day was rained out...which means he plays on Prom Day...and his game is at noon...Grand March is at 4p.m....his game is 2 hours...we are 45 minutes away from the game to home to shower...which means he better look good in 5 minutes to have a few pics taken..before the grand march....

I will be a stressed out biach I am sure... There will be college scouts there also...and we have no time to talk....bye bye....call us with your full ride potentials...

I am really kicking hind end in Tupperware...I have over $3,500 in sales so far and 5 new recruits....and I am in this program that my sales really matter...a trip to Hawaii is on the line in 1 year...can you say aloha!!!

Carsyn and Baylor are doing great...soccer is keeping them busy and school is on it's last leg....

Well that is all...I am really sorry but I honestly have been working and running and my business needs to grow so I can take care of my family...and move on to the new chapter of my life...

I promise I do think of you all every day...and that is followed by a..."I am going to Hades for not getting on and posting more...":hug

Glad everything else is working. We just miss you. (and I espically miss your unedited humor.)

I was in a really, really, REALLY bad place yesterday. I am doing much better today. I was still stuck in Wilson today, but we upgraded conference rooms (I could see OUTSIDE!!), and really, today was a much better day. I also have been somewhat given the feeling that my efforts are not going unnoticed nor unappreciated by my management (who was there w/ me today), and that is also a good thing.

I did, however, not eat dietary food tonight. I got home around 7:30 and we went out for Mexican. Considering my total intake for the last two days was 2 salads and 2 shots of vodka (last night when I got home at 12:30AM), I don't feel that bad about it.

Kat, glad you had a better day. If your efforts aren't appreciated or noticed, it makes it all trivial, no? BUT, even if you don't feel the notice, as hard as you work, I'd say they do. (notice, that is)

And what the hell is up with the cowboy boots and hat?!?!? You know that you live in the NORTH, right???

Dawn is a very sensual woman. This is a recurring them. She got some kinda sexy inside that's screaming to get out.

My life...VERY chaotic now. Not supposed to be. The semester ended and I am supposed to SLOW DOWN this month. Well, one thing lead to another and I pickup THREE new contracts for this month. All of this in the middle of kid sport hell (they all have multiple games and practices right now). What with the price of everything sky-rocketing, I just didn't feel it was fair to pass up big $$ for my family. (Plus, I like to SPEND! ) But man, I am stressed. I honestly do not know how I am going to find time for it all.

On the positive side, I told J that since I am making so much more than anticipated right now, I am going to buy his and hers bikes (did I tell you that I did a 16 mile ride the other day? Felt good! Lyz--g'head...throw it, baby...). AND I am going to plan a massive WDW trip.

And.....thrown. Yay for providing bikes and a massive WDW trip for the fam. You are my hero. Smartypants.

Did I tell you guys I love you? I do. Later.

And whatever happened to:

Bird - did your super secure job figure out the DIS boards was your hiding place for government secrets?

Believen - are you still reading?

chbc - I think you posted once here. Something about a dream job?

Bryan - Dude, are you still mclurker?

MamabearJo - ok, about a week ago, you were here all the time? Soccer swallow you too?

Munky - have yet to join us here? Remember, we are fun. Might take your mind off of reality, or help to share. Are you still losing weight. Everytime I go fresco at Taco Bell, I think of you. (I think of you other times too, but definately at TB)

Pixieshouse - you just kinda vanished. Cat got your tongue?

whgrn - I see you on, but you no posty. What gives?

grumps - I think you are following, just not at liberty to post.

LYZ--log on! kat and I are on AIM now.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Dawn - Welcome back.... you have been missed around here. I hope you were able to get on AIM with the rest of the gang. One of these days, I will get myself set up over there. Just not tonight, too tired....

I did realize that I forgot to post my weigh in results last night... I lost 2.5 pounds this week... Of course, I have been yo-yoing up and down for the past 6 weeks, so the real test will be if it stays off next week. I am moving more so that should help the cause. I don't see any major stressors popping up this week so I should be good.

I am off to bed... talk to you all in the morning,
Paula

Ok, I am back and feeling MUCH better.

Without even knowing it, my workout today was all boxing! It could not have come at a better time! I just beat the ever-lovin' sh*t out of that bag! And I lapped the guys during the run! There were definitely some comments today (and remember, these are the silent ones) about how they didn't envy the bag, etc.

Granted, I won't be able to raise my arms tomorrow... ...but it felt great. And I left all of my emotional crap there on the gym floor. Very cleansing!

Oh how great I would love to start doing that! I have Tae bo tapes and did those for a while YEARS ago maybe I should start! maybe my arms won't wave goodbye when my hand does.

LYZ[/B]--Awesome on the new rig! Yes, pics are a must around here! I love getting a new car (or a new-used car). When it has yet to have a juice box spilled in it...or crushed goldfish...and good Lord, the sand from the beach. But...YIKES! You went from the Taurus to an SUV in this gas market! Be prepared to get scared!

I have an Expedition an talk about a gas hog! right now it is about $80 per week

Stephanie--we will want pics and details about the house as they become available. We expect you to clear your decorating choices through us!

Oh I can't wait! I will start taking pictures ASAP! We have done a lot of work on the land. We had to drop about 40 loads of sand to make a back yard! I will put that on my to do list of things to do today!!!

Everyone else--I am not commenting on your lives till you get in here and post! And I box now...so watch out! [/QUOTE]


Then to top that off today we went to the orthodontist YIKE $3800 and then he isn't sure if she will need to see a specialist for the TMJ after he is done!! I think I need to trading in kids like you trade in cars when they start costing to much!
If you find a website for this option...can you post a link???
Way to funny! I even had kids laughing at that!

Goof, yes to AIM. It's painless. Really.

I did realize that I forgot to post my weigh in results last night... I lost 2.5 pounds this week... Of course, I have been yo-yoing up and down for the past 6 weeks, so the real test will be if it stays off next week. I am moving more so that should help the cause.

2.5lbs. Thats awesome. Since you are moving so much, and literally moving, you'll probably keep those lbs off for good.

When is the "big move"

I have an Expedition an talk about a gas hog! right now it is about $80 per week

Yes, I'm anxious to shake out what the damage will be. Not only will it burn thru more gas than I'm used to, the tank is 7lbs bigger, so immediate hemmorage.
