Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie. How's it feel to be an Alabama resident?? It's gotta feel GOOD!!! I know you have a lot of settling in to do, and then you'll be moving again in the not-so-distant future when you get a house. But first, we need to get that TN house sold, right?


(that's pixie dust and tribal dancing or something. Dancing to the house-selling gods out there )

Take care, woman. I'm here for ya.

You know i HATE to agree with her,,but ditto

 

[kimwim8]

OK lady. My patience is about running out. WHEN are you hooking up your pc??? I miss ya.

Hi marie! Have you unpacked the rum yet?

Waiting to here how its going!

I'MMMMMMM BAAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!

Holy crap ya'll!!! It has been a WILD RIDE!!
Yep...I'm an Alabamian!! I LOVE IT!!!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!
It has been hectic....very hectic!!
Got down here....one day last week...I think it was Thursday night....had 4 cops plus hubby unloading the truck on Friday mid-day!! Of course, come Friday night & Saturday it was all on me!! I finally said enough and we went to the pool on Sunday! Then yesterday it was back to the grind...more unpacking and getting settled. DD was a whiney little snot all day yesterday and I had a major meltdown!!!
I still have a little bit to do to get situated, but otherwise it's all good!! The apartment is decent...clean and looks good...not as cramped as I thought it would be! Totally doable for a year or two...of course, I'm gonna say 2 years cuz I don't want to have to do this again for a while!!
I think tomorrow will be another pool day and Thursday is errands. Friday is DD's b-day, so the choice is gonna be up to her....god help me on that one!!

Ok....I missed you guys!! Glad to be back!!

Glad to hear youre back! Take it easy, you arent in any hurry. Youre in the SOUTH now. Nice to be able to hang out at the pool a bit too.

I'm not positive but I think you are officially an Alabamer.




Why is the rum always gone?

 

[CACruisin']

Welcome Home!!! Good to see you back and glad that you are getting settled in. Enjoy the pool time. You deserve it after everything.


No Rum?! Can't pick it up at the corner market?!! Ok, I do see ONE problem with Alabama Take care and introduce yourself to the guy at the package store!

Good morning my friends!!
Well, the dang dog woke me up at 4 again this morning! He's been doing that since we got here....he thinks he's going to miss someone leaving for work, so he has to get up and get out....more butts to sniff I guess!! Anyway, I told him no..I wasn't getting up at 4 AM again....so he went back to sleep until 5:15. (this is the dog pee-pee dance!!) I told DH that he's up that early anyway, why can't he take him out....he didn't have an answer...

Ok...so I stepped on the scale a few minutes ago. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...145. I'm having a hard time believing my scale is right, so I'll probably head down to the gym area and weigh myself there. I figure I'm closer to 150. Wish me luck on that one!!
I am going to get back on track with the diet...I don't want to get back up to 170 again!!

So, now that everything is on the road to calm again (whatever that is!!) I'm going to start a workout schedule and start logging my food again. I may not put it on here, but I do have a little notepad that I can use. I know I have GOT to stop with the cokes again..I'm up to about 2 a day, and if I keep that up, the "girls" are gonna swell up and start hurting!!

Oh...I have to say....I have started something new....I'm trying to cook more!! The other morning I made chocolate chip pancakes & bacon for breakfast!! The kids were amazed that I knew how to use the griddle!! Also, for dinner....I put a roast in the crock pot...OMG it was so good!!! (marinated the roast for 6 hours the night before....put carrots in with it...made some mashed potatos.....mmmmmmmmmmm!) Last nights dinner was baked talapia (fish) with wild rice!!! I think tonight will be something simple...burgers on the foreman or maybe tacos....we'll see.

ok....gonna go get the day moving!!! gotta get my bathroom put together!!

First of all....Linda....I just realized the rum comment!!! LOL!! Love Capn' Jack!!

Well, so far the temps have been in the mid 90's and really comfortable!! Memphis was always so humid! I haven't noticed that here yet. Of course, it's not too humid at the pool!!

Tonight was tacos....darn good tacos too!! Threw some spanish rice together...yuuuuuummmmmyyyy!!
Tomorrow we have to go to Montgomery...then take 2 or 3 things to storage....then to the pool!!!
It's really gonna suck when I get a job!!

Talk to ya'll tomorrow!!

That's too funny!! I have to admit though... I kinda thought that myself when I saw it.

Glad your back, Marie!!! Glad to hear you are settling in and liking your new Sweet Home in Alabama!

According to your scale (if I remember right) you haven't gained anything! Pretty good!! Must be all that moving you've been doing

The cooking sounds YUMMY!! I gotta get back on that track myself

Enjoy that pool!

 

[kmp1191]

Gonna be a short one tonight....too much pool...I'm tired!!

Made DD's b-day cake tonight....good thing I'm a photographer and not a cake decorator....I really suck at it!! DD JUST went to bed and I have to hang a banner and streamers.... DH might have to do it...my eyes keep slamming shut!!!

Happy 5th b-day TSD!!!

DD wants to go shopping tomorrow....go to IHop for b-fast....and just play all day....wish i was 8 years old again....

later taters!!
marie

 

[lindalinda]

Did you have a good shopping birthday with your DD? Sounds like fun.

Your daughter first birthday in Alabama! Have they met any kids yet down there? I bet they have, at the pool. Thats a bonus, should make it easier.

Have a good weekend and dont work too hard!

 

[kmp1191]

Yesterday was fun! IHOP for b-fast....a couple of errands....the botanic garden (very pretty), then back home to the pool for 2 1/2 hours!!! Starting to get some tan lines!!
There really aren't too many kids in this apartment complex....mostly med students and old people. We have met one boy...he just turned 8 also....he and his dad are at the pool alot too, and he came over for a few hours last night and hung out....nice kid...kinda hyper, but still very nice.
DD fell asleep when we got back to the apt...woke up around 7 and wanted to know if we were going shopping!! I made her a promise, so we went. She spent all of her money that g-ma sent her, plus I bought her4 pair of earrings!! (the plan was for her to buy earrings...she bought everything else!!!)

ok....gonna go crawl back into bed for a bit...this dog walking is killing me!!!

Yessssss - I missed you too Jen!!!
I just wanted to make sure she wasn't mad at me for making fun of her Beaner.

Today was good....didn't leave the apartment...sat at the computer paying bills & updating address's & e-mails. Even applied for a job or 2...
I might be going back to Memphis for a few weeks....boss called...needs help...I offered my services for a fee $$$....she's supposed to call me tomorrow and we'll talk more. I wouldn't mind doing it....It's not like I'm swamped here!! We'll see what happens.

ok...gonna go sit and actually relax for a little bit. DH starts on midnights for a week tomorrow....gonna spend alot of time out of the apartment during the day so he can sleep...

oh....still nothing on the house...come on with the pixie dust...
time & money are running out for me!!

catch ya'll later!!
