Now if I can get my self back it would be great.Has anyone watched the I can make you thin series? It is pretty interesting and I am wondering if anyone has tried it.
I am still struggling with the whole 20 year reunion thing. I went to a consignment store and found a couple sweater sets that I think might work for the day. It will be in ID and it is still cold there, so I hope these will work, I just need to make sure that I have a full outfit!
I hope that I can pull it all together this weekend!!!
) I saw the episode Sunday night, so I've been walking around tapping my face, tapping my hand, looking in a circle, humming all this crazy stuff. So, Ok. It does calm me down. But then I saw next week he's got another crazy thing to go thru. I can't have 17 different "go to" crazy movements! We shall see.
And I get to run the demo stage and talk in the mic infront of the audience and "handle" the celebritys we have paid to come in and talk. So I finally had time to go back a few pages to catch-up after the loss of internet earlier this week and look at al I missed...
How do you find time to sleep with work, kids, exercise, and volunteering? You make me tired...You NEED a vacation from all that craziness. Maybe the dwarves should kidnap your DH and then you can make your escape...they can always return him when you get home...unless you would prefer they not
DH is killing me. Now, I am the Disney nut in the house. He definitely loves Disney, but he only needs small doses once in while. Me? There is no such thing as too much.Anyway, every day for the last 4 or so days he has said "I want to go back!" So of course I am like WOO-HOO...the kids get all excited because they know that Dad is the barrier between them and constant Disney trips. And I say..."Ok, well I can pull off a trip in May, or we can go in Sept. Or what about...." And then he says, "No, not for a couple of years..." Ummmm YEARS?!?!? I don't think so!
He is nothing if not practical. We are looking at buying second home (on one of the many lakes...it is common in Maine to have a "camp" on a lake) so he thinks we should be really careful with money until we decide on a piece of property, etc. My take on it...I don't want a summer house if it means that we don't vacation anywhere else. Also, he gets really embarrassed by the number of Disney trips we take. Maine, as a rule, is not a wealthy state (though we live in a pretty affluent community), so for many of the folks we know, Disney is a once-in-a-lifetime (or once in a great while) type of thing. So he gets Disney guilt when we are going yet again. Right now, though, his biggest stress is the taxes (we are not done yet, though will be soon). Last year we owed a TON....and this year will likely be the same.However, if by some amazing stroke of good fortune we don't owe too much (I am sure that a refund is out of the question...
) then maybe he will lighten up and let me start planning a trip.
Anyway...sorry for the long drawn-out explanation, but that is part of the reason why I booked something. I am getting depressed at the thought of not heading down in the somewhat-near future. This helps my attitude enormously!

Thanks for the support Dawn, I really need it. How can pop cause so much pain? I am stuggling with what to drink, I am getting sick of water, jucies have so much sugar in them, milk I only do with meals and I have never drank coffee. Any suggestions.
I talked with Dawn last night and it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. My only problem would be my girls. I promised them a trip next year to either Mexico or back to Ft. Meyers Beach, they really did like it there, but it would not be until Spring Break. Plus Part of it will be for Hanna's senior year we are getting together some friends and parents to go with.
But I will really think about it, because DH goes on many many many hunting trips a year that cost lots & lots of money, so maybe I could just book myself a little get away. Doing all the reading (lurking) these last months I feel I know you all pretty well, and may I say you are a wonderful bunch of peepers.I am not usually shy,( ask Dawn & Dan) but for some odd reasons I have been having a hard time joining in on the chats. I comunicated better in person I guess. But I will try harder and not worry so much about my spelling, ( I am horrible at it) Thank god for spell check (which this does not have).
I will make sure to use one of you for a referral. Hummm! maybe I should give it to the highest bidder, how bad do you guys want it?
Congrats

I still say get some limes and lemons to have on hand with water...

I am very proud of you Jodi...you deserve to have friends and feel like you can count on people...you need to stop worrying about being judged and have the self awareness to realize that I have the most screwed up existance here...so unless you are an ax murderer...you are second to Jesus in the department of good and rightousness....this of course is comming from the person who waited 3 months to tell her closest confidantes she is in love with a stripper....er I mean Dan...and until DWD called me out on the carpet in regards to my obsessive Spell Correcting on my posts...I spent more time worrying about my spelling than why my @ss spills over my chair seat....
SOOOO....For Jodi....who is on phase 2 of the 12 step to Body Board Babes Nirvanna...
Step 1. Like people who like Disney and may have slight gravitational pull challenges ...
Step 2....Like yourself enough to open yourself up to people who like Disney with the beforementioned gravitational pull challenges
BTW....is there a reason why we cannot get supplemental income for being GPC (Gravetational Pull Challenged) like say enough to buy a ticket each year to Florida...ahemm..Orlando...ahemm...throw in a few park hoppers while your at it...ahemmm......
Dear President Bush the Second,
Hi...it's me Dawn...we haven't spoken for awhile but I had a great idea....now before you crumple this up...I want to remind you that I have a few pictures of us that night in Texas with some Tequilla and a bull named Thunder...or was that your wife....anyway...
....since you are leaving office and all and you want your popularity to be at it's peak so the annals of history will be written in your favor....I was thinking...
I will make sure to use one of you for a referral. Hummm! maybe I should give it to the highest bidder, how bad do you guys want it?
You guys can give your referral to anyone but me...Minnesota cannot get any benefits from Time Share Referrals....that reminds me...
Dear President Bush the Second...
Last weigh in is tommorrow for the March Challenge...we have a great shot at it...
. Hopefully my lack of pop will not hurt my ability to lose poundage, because you know I have to do something with my mouth ( I know that it does not sound right, just give me a break my head is hurting and my brain is numb) and if it is not sucking down 6 to 8 pops a day it's gonna be food.
Wow weigh in is tommorrow YIKES

I watched it. I'll TRY ANYTHING to lose weight. (Except exercise and healthy eating.
Yikes! That's one more thing for me to obsess about...maybe I won't watch it!
You know how people say, for exercise you have to make time. I literally would have to sleep less to do that. And it's everyone else, tap, tap, tapping me, to make their lives easier. Some days I want to run away to the beach, BY MY SELF.
Only on SOME days? Then girl, you are doing great!
I could not get thru life without my inlaws. My mother in law is absolutely the best. For example, we have meetings every Monday night for the H & G Show. She says, just count on me watching the girls every Monday night untill the show. I don't even have to ask. I love her so much.
Wow--that is great. I would love to have a good relationship with mine. But she is yuck-city.
What is PTR? You guys have your own language!
Pre-Trip Report.
Gosh, lots of decisions in your house. Sorry he's not on board for Disney. That's something I can count on with my DH. He lovin' his Mickey!
We usually owe money too. And I don't pay until April 15. This year we actually get a refund! I electronic filed already. Now, when you own your own business, you want to owe, because that means you had a better year than the year before. But...housing is tanking, so last year was slower, and while the numbers are down, I am super happy for a refund.

About five years ago, I had to give up soda cold turkey... no ifs ands or buts about it thanks to this one med I was on for a fake brain tumor.... yes, you read that right - I had a fake brain tumor when I turned 30. Basically, my body started to produce more spinal fluid than it could cycle out and I had a build up of pressure in my head that caused all of the symptoms of a brain tumor, but without the growth. My case was very minor and certainly not life threatening (thank you God...), but the med that the docs put me on to control my body's ability to make spinal fluid had a funny side effect that made anything carbonated taste flat, mettalic and generally vile, so for about three years I drank nothing but water, juice and lots of unsweetened, fresh brewed iced tea. Flash forward and now that I am off the meds and my brain back to normal (or as normal as this goof can be), I am free to drink soda again. I still can't drink the regular stuff and the diet is even worse since I am no longer used to the taste of the real sugar or the fake sugar, but I still crave the bubbles from soda. I go for club soda with a squeeze of lemon and lime in it. It is like drinking a sprite without all of the sugar and it counts for your water intake. Another option is to check out some of the flavored club soda that is out there (cranberry lime, grapefruit, mandarin orange, pommegranete, etc). All are yummy and give me the bubbles I am craving with a little flavor. Give it a try and give yourself a chance to ween yourself off the soda. In time, your taste buds won't want it anymore. Worst case, I can give you the name of the med I was on....
