I have to agree, though. You're looking great! Must be doing something right!
Don't stress about the 5 pounds. They'll come back off. Some weeks are just harder than others. When the toothache goes away and some of the stress eases up, you'll get back on track.

Sending Loads of that your house gets SOLD!!!!

Glad to hear you are enjoying your WII.... DH and I want one and almost bought one last christmas. It looks like SO much fun. Plus it's a wee bit of exercise better than just sitting there anyway

Hope you have a good weekend and enjoy the party tomorrow night!

YEAH......I don't think so!!!
It's probably more like I've been eating like a pig, and TOM is going to do a sneak attack on me again!!!


(not to mention the road is closed...no more babies comin from this factory!!)

Hey lady. AWESOME pics!! My favorite is definitely the last one of you and McYummy, oh, I mean your DH. It's just a shame he wasn't in uniform. GREAT pics, though and you are definitely a skinny minnie!!

Can't wait to hear about last night's party. And I want to see the cute little outfit you wore.

 

[kmp1191]

Sorry, no pics from last night. It was a fun time....no kareoke, but still fun!
The food was GREAT!!!! They did chicken on the grill, and I don't know what they did to it, but it was the best I've ever had!! Had it for lunch today, and I'm going to have some more for dinner tonight!!! They also had BBQ, but I haven't tasted that yet...DH said it was good. The guys presented DH with a plaque...VERY NICE...and a picture (group shot that I had taken a few years ago w/ all the guys, in uniform....(easy kim)....with the dogs) Anyway, they had it matted and framed, and they all signed the matt. It was really cool!! DH made a nice speech...thanked everyone....told them it was a hard decision......very nice. A few of the guys had too much to drink, and the wives were the designated drivers....so it all worked out. We got home about 1a.m. It was a nice sendoff for him. They all requested a new group shot b4 DH leaves, so we're going to do that Tuesday evening.

Ok...so...I have a 5 hour shoot today....little tired tonight...gonna eat dinner...drink another 20 oz of water (60 for the day) and call it a night. Hopefully the tooth will let me sleep all night tonight....but I'm not holding my breath. It usually wakes me up around 4.

Oh, I'm taking off work Thurs & Fri and we're going to Hoover, AL. We're going to get the apartment paperwork taken care of, as well as get him measured for his new uniforms...(easy kim...I'll send you some pics ). I have a wedding to shoot Saturday, so we'll come home Friday night. I'm looking foward to going down there...seeing as how i've only been there once and it was back in August!!!

ok...i'm hungry...gonna go get dinner now.
have a great evening!!

geez, make me sound like a uniform-wh@&^ a little more, why don'tcha? That's Jen, not me!

Nice job with the water, girl!

Oh, and find out what they put on the chicken. I need some new & exciting chicken in my life.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

geez, make me sound like a uniform-wh@&^ a little more, why don'tcha? That's Jen, not me!

hey im not ashamed..any nice looking men for me

way to go on the water..i love the pics--you look great!!

 

[kmp1191]

Not necessarily a uniform-w#@%e.....more like a tease!!!
I'll make sure I post some from tomorrow....gonna be about a dozen men in uniform!!!

So today.....
B-oatmeal w/ strawberries (very bland)
S-jc cheese curls
L-grilled chicken salad w/ lt ranch
D-bbq sandwich....(good, but not as good as the chicken!)
Water-60 oz
exercise-3 mile walk w/ DH.....IT FELT GREAT!!!
I told DH that I want to be able to do that at least 3 times a week. I'd like to back to 5, but w/ him moving in a few weeks, it's gonna be hard. I figure I can substitute walks and take the kids for a bike ride in the evenings.
(TOM hit this morning......there's the explaination for the girls being swollen!!!)


Anyway, that's about it for now.....

[kimwim8]

patiently waiting to see the pictures

What the hell is going on with that house? The people in Memphis must really be nuts like you said. Have you been putting the pressure on your realtor? He/she needs to kick it in gear!!!

Nice job getting the walk in. I'm hoping to either run in the am or walk at lunch tomorrow. One or both will be done tomorrow unless torrential rains hit. If you're out there doing it with all the crap you have going on, then I will too.

Sorry about the girls, but glad you have an explanation. Just love womanhood, don't you?

 

[kmp1191]

Glad today is over!!!
Nothing major...just didn't sleep good last night....anyone want a cat?? Darn thing decided she wanted to play with the tag on my shirt at 3 this morning...I jumped up and started stripping....threw the shirt across the room because I thought there was a spider crawling on me!!! DH sat up and looked at me like I was nuts!!!

Food wasn't good. Exercise was non-existant. Stress level is high. Attitude is bad. Good thing I'm off work until Monday....(except for a wedding on Saturday).
Going to Alabama tomorrow....

I'm going to bed...I'll check in tomorrow.
nite

Marie... Sending some good thoughts and your way today.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

patiently waiting to see the pictures

i am too..except not so patiently!!

Hi marie! the "spider cat" in the middle of the night would freak me out too--so dont think you are crazy

hope you have a great day!

 

[kimwim8]

YEAH for the Alabama trip! I bet that will help your mood.

Take it easy girl, and rest up some on your days off. You've been going a million miles per hour for months now.

 

[lindalinda]

Hope everything is great in Bama!

Are you house shopping while you are there, or is it too soon for that?

I think you will love it there, it is so exciting to go somewhere new.

have a great weekend!

 

[kmp1191]

Not house shopping yet....we're going to get an apartment for a year or so....get to know the area...rebuild some finances....
The trip got off to a late start yesterday....wanted to leave around noon....DH didn't get off work til 2. We got down here about 6 ish. It's really nice down here....so many fricking trees and mountains(hills?)
We went to dinner w/ a friend of DH 's and his girlfriend....got back to the hotel around 9....the kids swam til 10...showered and bed.
Today DH had to go to Montgomery for some work related stuff....he'll be back around noon...I think. His buddy is going to come and get me and the kids and show us around for a little bit this morning...then we'll go check out the apartment situation, maybe check out the rec center (can't wait!!! $15 a month for family for police!!!!!!!) We also have to get a bank account set up before next week, and I want the kids to see the schools.

Gonna be a busy day!!!
I'll check in later this weekend.....

Getting an apartment for a year sounds like a good idea. gives you time to find the right place. With gas prices like they are, hopefully you can find something close to where you work.

Have fun!

 

[kmp1191]

Today didn't go like I planned, but that's ok.....it was still a good day. DH didn't get back from doing all of his stuff until around 1, then we met ALL the guys he'll be working with....(ok, maybe not all of them, but about 10 of them!!) and had lunch...then DH and the HR guy had to go get his uniforms ordered....ANYWAY, I finally met up w/ DH around 4.
Then we went and saw the apartment.....smaller than I thought....much smaller....but it's only for a year....(or less)....It's a courtesy....(he'll do security for the complex and we'll get a reduced rent) and they only offer 2 bedroom apts on the courtesy apts. Kids didn't seem overly thirlled....neither was I actually, but again....it's only temorary. I can deal with it...
DH and I got into a little "tiff" on the way home....(which we are still on the way home....) I just told him it was much smaller than I thought and he thought that meant I didn't want to move. What is it with me? Do they not hear what we are saying....How does..."the apartment is small" translate into "I don't want to move"??? WTH Anyway, I just started back talking to him about 10 minutes ago...>(an hour and a half into the trip) I think we're both just very tired...been a busy day.
Oh, we didn't get the banking done, but that's ok....he can do it when he gets down here permanentaly. (sp?)

ok...gonna read and sleep for a little bit....still another hour from home....

thanks again ya'll.....
marie
