Hello everyone,
had mind race so was up @ 2. realized one of my closets needs to be done too so emptied that out a little while ago.(my neighbor must love me. All I know that the carpet guy is coming "late morning" accord to the land lord whatever that means. moving some of the lighter stuff out for the guys. They can deal w/ the dressers and the bed.
Ex's team lost steam and lost @ the end, so they still have a perfect losing record. He did win his wrestling match last night.
For any old school wrestling fans, George the animal Steele,Kamala(saw both coming in- weird seeing Kamala w/o face paint and regular clothes on) and Killer Kowalski(he's really looking frail majorly bent over when he walks)

First of all
Lori= congrats on the closing!!! now you can concentrate on Tongo!!
Xan- how cool for your friend, I've never had that much $$ on the slots
Sue- feel better- yup about cleaning up the stuff up myself, went thru 2 containers of pinesol easily. need to do again once everything is done since been tracking the stuff on my boots.(can't wait until I can go barefoot again!!!) will check the show out!!
Allison, posted on myspace before I came here this morning.
Sarah- yipes about how uncle lived
Cheryl- watching the replay of the Camping world race as we speak, not sure if your dh watches the trucks too, that was some crashes on friday nite. love tony,dale and carl(since the redsox owners are partial owners of his team) not a seafood lover unfortunately
Em- hope dd and you are finally better
Terry- congrats to DD!!! eating wasnt great for me either, had to eat out twice. will prob have to do again today, prob stop off @ subway for lunch and dinner

probably wont be on for the rest of the day, so have a great day everyone
Lizzy

Morning Lizzy...hope things go quick today and you are back in comfy and cozy by mid-afternoon!!! Sorry you had rough time sleeping...I woke up @ 4:45 and felt like I had overslept ..tossed & turned for almost an hour and said heck with it...got my second load of clothes in washer, 1/2 house is swept and did my DVD...

When I got up yesterday morning, I had slept until 6 all the way through--guess my kidneys have gotten used to getting up earlier so my bladder was in foul shape most of yesterday aching, frequency urges, etc...now this morning I get up and have a lower back ache..UGGGG !!! I used to have issues all the time but I had done soooo good since my "hyster". I am taking some tylenol and going to get some cranberry juice later this morning...I got my work out in but had to skip over some of the parts where it was a lot of pressure in the lower back area...couldn't take it

I am toying with my collar kraut today if I can stand to bend over and pick the collards...got all the stuff yesterday..figured it was a good weekend since I am off tommorrow...it will take me several hours to get them washed, cut, bruised and packed in the buckets. Was hoping DH was going to help but have my doubts at this point...heard him saying to someone else yesterday he had several things to help his brother with today since we had been gone all day (yesterday).

That is about it for me right now...bbl

Oh man I wish the kids would have slept a little later this morning, Regan thought she had school! Alex and I stayed up way too late watching a couple movies - Disturbia and We Are Marshall - went to bed about 1 am.

What a contrast from yesterday, it was sunny and beautiful....today it is rainy and gloomy. I think it's supposed to be in the 40's today though. Mike was supposed to come home today, but with the warm temps and rain bring lots of fog for us, so not sure if he will make it.

Oooooh, I finished my baby hat yesterday, well, I still have to sew up the seam, but other than that it's done...Turned out good, kinda little...heeheee, might be for a preemie!

Terry - Hope your bladder settles down today, lol.

Lizzy - keeping my fingers crossed for your carpet today!!!!!!!

Ok, the coffee is kicking in, gonna go do some housework.

Good Morning girls. We went out to dinner last night after Church and I ran into an old friend who has lost a ton of weight. She looked great. Anyhow, it made me realize that I have been in denial with my weight.. I have not been journaling and have just been watching what I eat...yea right...denial, denial, denial! I was going to start tomorrow but why not today! It's back to journaling for me! I guess that means I won't be eating my leftover spinach quesadilla in the fridge. Well, maybe I can still eat it but I need to figure out the points. We have a birthday party to go to and they usually serve hamburgers etc. I think I will eat before we go and skip eating there.....

Lizzy- I am sure you will be glad when things get back to normal!

Terry- Have you ever tried AZO Standard?

Nikki- I enjoyed the pictures as usual! I didn't realize how small your town really is!

Morning guys,

Slept really well last night. Think the stress of the last week just really wiped me out. You will think I'm an idiot after all the bitching I've done about wanting to go to closing, but when we got to the part where we had to sign over the deed and it said "lot 78"...I started crying. What an idiot! It's just that we were the 2nd house in that development and we specifically picked that lot to build on b/c of the trees for us and the bigger backyard for the dogs, picked out literally everything that went into that house, took photos everyday while it was going up....sigh. Now, don't get me wrong. I love being out here in the country and I certainly couldn't have my bitchy girl Tongo in the city...so I wouldn't trade where we are for anything...guess I was just emotional. Jim kept looking at me like, "are you insane?????". Have you ever felt that way about a home or am I truly nuts? Oh well, I am over it today. Went and fed the horses this morning and got oh so muddy. It was really pretty here yesterday, in the 40's with the sun shining...now it is torential downpours and in the 30's. No wonder we're all sick.

So, on tap for me today is paying the bills, some cleaning of the house (needs it in the worst way), and I think we're going to make a trip to Lowes. I want to build a design board for my quilting projects and they sell them online for like $170. I think Jim and I can build one by buying a piece of plywood and getting some felt from Joann's, and stapling it around it for probably under $50. I think that will be my project today. Oh, need to go to the grocery store too so I can do some menu planning for the week.

Terry - congrats to DD! That is just fantastic! You must be so proud. Hope the kidney/bladder issues improve today. Good job getting your exercise in already.

Lizzy - hope all goes well today! Hope it's quick, easy and you're back in your barefeet soon

Nik - such gorgeous pics! You have such a talent.

Sue - hope you're feeling better kiddo...

Have a great day everyone!

Lori T

Allison - I missed you! How's school going?

Terry - I forgot to ask you, what's RFD? I have satellite but haven't heard of RFD? Am I an idiot?

Good Morning Everyone! Well morning at least! I slept so hard I'm stiff all over this morning! I'm going to have to get my tushy in gear and work it out. Yesterday was a fairly quiet day. We did the grocery shopping and took 5 pigs to get them bled before the county show at the end of this month. Oh i'm so looking forward to the season ending until next year! From the end of March till October the most we do is feed sows and inseminate them. No biggiie there!
No Idea what the weather is going to be like today, I know it's sunny out which is great down pour all day yesterday we walked around looking like drowned rats. Sheesh kid calling bbl hugs to you all!

Allison - I'm right there with ya, Mike went home for training and saw his best friend and his wife..long story short, she is 6 years younger than me and she used to make little digs about my weight years ago, (she was tiny) so I lost all my weight and she started having babies and b4 you knew it she was about 60 pounds overweight, well Mike says she's lost about 25 on WW...YIKES, time to get my ass in gear, lol...if that isn't motivation enough, heehee. I'm not in denial, I've just been spinning my wheels and not going anywhere, and it's getting so frustrating. I'm journaling with you!

Lori - ((((HUGS)))), I don't think you are nuts for getting emotional about the house, with our building project I can totally relate. I had a breakdown once over turning in a leased car, lol...heehee

Ok, just had a nice bowl of cream of wheat and raisins, it was very good, a little splenda a little cinnamon, yummy!

Ok, off to wash my bowl before it dries like concrete, lol

Good Morning!
It was a late night here too. We moved all the furniture out of the living room in anticipation of the carpet tomorrow. The only thing in there is the TV and the wii. Because there is so much room in there, it was awesome to play the wii and we wound up having a tournament on sports. LOL One of Devan's friends came over too....he is the one that Kevin watched in the summer during the day. Well Kevin went to take him home and the poor kid was locked out! He tried calling, texting, banging on the door...no answer! WTH I don't sleep until everyone is settled into the house. So he slept over needless to say. Kevin has been friends with him for many moons, so i don't think there will be a problem.

On tap for today is.....I need a haircut desperately...Jess has a birthday party at 2 then we are going to the Y for a while...more racquetball and basketball. Thats about it.

I am going to start up a new challenge thread too.

Lizzy.....I remember those wrestlers! I always liked The Animal! I hope those guys come at a decent hour this morning.

Lori.......I cried when my parents sold their house in NY. It wasn't silly of you to cry. You could definately make that frame yourself.

Terry......Wow I hope you feel better. What about cranberry tablets? Would that work quicker for you?

Allison....Good for you on getting back on track today!

Lori- Nothing wrong with being attached to your old place! I seem to remember Terry or somebody crying over her old washer machine??? This might have even been back over at Bootcamp. School is going well..straight A's so far! I never thought I would be able to say that!

Nikki- The old friend I ran into was my ex's wife actually...it's weird but I just can't let her be skinnier than me!! lol So, I know where you are coming from.

Jen- Have fun at the gym! Sounds like a fun day.
