hey, shanaber, it worked! thanks for your help, I could tell you what I was doing wrong but it's kind of embarrassing (essentially I had to scroll down to see "media", it didn't appear in the box and I didn't know there was more to view.
Here we are at my cousin's wedding:

now, the cropping of photos is whole 'nother matter!

Never worry about being embarrassed on stuff like this - it is how we all learn! I am just so glad it worked. Anytime you try to upload/load a photo you should see that 'media' and be able to get to them that way.

You both look amazing! Really great pictures!!

Good looking couple!

Yay!! IT's Friday and my birthday weekend!! Now to get the work day over with.....

Our giant dumpster arrived yesterday and demo should start today or Monday. Time to tear the roof of our house!

Ashley - Happy Birthday! Be prepared for lots of noise with that roof work. We had ours done recently and I couldn't believe how noisy it was. The outside is all finished (new roof, new windows, new front door, new stucco and paint oh and new gates too)! Now time to figure out what we will do on the inside and start those plans, new paint or wallpaper and definitely new flooring to replace the worn out wood we have now.

I love shopping for clothes, I just don't like going to the mall and shopping by myself. I usually do it online unless I need something right away.

Heading out for my run and enjoying my Friday off! Have a great day everyone!

Yeah, I'm interested to see how my Wednesdays off with Daphne will go during construction.... She may be napping in the basement. The construction will be going on right next to her room, so that's out. We're basically taking most of the back half of the roof off and expanding some attic space into a 6'x10' play room and 12'x10' bedroom and extneding the 2nd floor out slightly over the kitchen. So not a lot of new square footage, but big job because it's on the second story. Apparently they are going to build the new roof over the existing roof and then tear the existing roof off. I'm excited but a little nervous. Hopefully it goes smooth and quickly. I may begin to get nervous in a month or so considering baby boy will be here probably January 14 (if I do a repeat C, which I am leaning towards). They say no more than 60 days. Not that he needs his own room right away, but the new room will become my daughter's room and I really want to get her transitioned to there before her brother comes and takes away a bunch of time. They apparently started this afternoon, so I'm excited to get home!

Amy - you look FANTASTIC! BOOM!

Happy birthday, Better! BOOM!

Got my lifting in and done in a gorgeous gym in vancouver. I am now at the airport....waiting for my lunch and my flight home.

My travel-heavy september is over and octoberwill be about removing the five lbs september gave me....

Have a great weekend, all!

I don't have any particular direction for a two-week challenge. Just going to eat less, drink more water, keep working out.

I am spending time regulating my workday to make sure i am optimizing my networking.

Hey ladies. I had a great birthday weekend. Friday night I had book club and didn't get home till after 11:30. I guess I can stay up late with my girlfriends without wine.... Who knew?! Saturday we did our usual coffe/farmers market. I relaxed during naptime, read some, and then we went to a festival in the afternoon. It was a lot of fun. They had kid stuff, so Daphne had fun and I won a semester of music class for Daphne! That should be fun. There was a great band playing also and a "maker fair" which was a bunch of sciencey/invention type stuff. Then we went to fancy dinner out later that night and the food was great. I had brisket and it was fall apart tender. Sunday was shopping, visitng my friend and her new baby, a little down time, grocery shopping and food prep.

I made 2 lbs of chicken avacado burgers, so that's lunch this week. I also made pickled veggies and a dessert I got from Shannon's Pinterest. It's 1 cup vanilla Greek yogourt, 1.5 cups cool whip (I know the stuff is full of crap and terrible, but it tastes so gooood!), 1/2 cup strawberries pureed mixed toget and put over 15 graham cracker squares in a pan. Then you top with another 15 squares and freeze and cut. They're sort of like little icecream sandwiches and have 50 calories so the recipe says. I bought a box of mini icecream sandwiches last Sunday and I need to not do that again. I sometimes eat 3 in one night. :blushing: I didn't do any official workouts, but it was my birthday weekend. We walked our normal amount, so there was that.

Goals for the week:
1. 100ish calories in dessert max (that means 2 popsicles, 2 dessert bars, 1 icecream sandwich or 1 small bowl sherbet. I seem to love dessert these days......)
2. 4 workouts (lifting today, class tomorrow, running Wednesday, and a real workout over the weekend)
3. In bed by 10, lights out 10:30. I didn't sleep enough this weekend.
4. 14 glasses of water a day

Have a great week!

Here's a pic from my birthday:

Glad you had a fun bday! Cute picture!

Bronze for me again. I'm so irritated with myself. I just can't handle weekends. I help up so well Friday night and Saturday day...then Saturday night came and I was very into ice cream. And last night there was an incident with cupcakes.

I'm giving myself an October challenge to MEET MY DAMN GOALS every day. Every day. Anyone want to join me?? We could friend each other and make a little challenge, not exactly sure what the details will be. I'm going to ask my friend list, too. I know I just have to do it for me, but hey whatever helps, right?

ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!! You are adorable! Ram where are your pics???
