200+ Haulin' Off The Weight

Hailie - Good for you! Eff 'em if they don't see the difference, and how you "waste" your money is YOUR business - at least you're not out there blowing it on drugs or McDonalds or something. Sheesh.

Kendal - I do like Nutella, namely because I love just about anything with hazelnuts after years of my grandparents sending us huge bags of in-the-shell filberts. But no, I don't see how hazelnut-and-chocolate-frosting on anything is a good breakfast for kids! I agree that kids eat what's cooked, or they can be hungry, it's their choice, so long as you're not feeding them something they totally hate. I don't get why parents let their kids run the show so much these days.

Bobbie - Forsyth residents /where/? O.o We have a tiny town called Forsyth near me.

Hosanna - Very sorry to hear about your MIL's father.

Ooo, Amy and Jessi, you like "Bodies;" have you seen this?

I could watch that about 10 million times and not get sick of it.


I'll catch up later; I just had so share that!

Bobbie, that video is AMAZING! I wish my birds were that awesome, definitely.

I went to the car show this morning and took a TON of pictures. Saw some of the most gorgeous cars.... Also got quite a walk in this morning, and will probably walk again tonight, but for now I'm spending most of my day hanging out in bed watching Korean horror movies and Repo! The Genetic Opera. I hope you're all having an awesome weekend.

Hey ladies. I am finally sat down on my couch relaxing while the fam watches football. I am tired. The bowling birhtday party was a total hit but the kids were tired from starting school and were cranky. In fact Gracie and her friend Lily ended up sounding like 21 year old females fighting in a bar at the end lol. Thank God they were the only two left at that point.

So highlights from yesterday:
doctor: I have to go in next week and get blood work done for normal physical stuff and then for vitamin b, thyriod and a slew of other things. I also go to the OB on the day I get back from Europe and have that done and she's (my general dr) sent over a list of hormone things to discuss with the new OB and blood work with him to be done as well. At the end..if all looks good then she wants me to consider depression pills. Not that I am all depressed all the time but she thinks it might help my weight loss and my sex life. Which would be nice for both me and Jeff. IDK..completely scared of the pills to be honest.
eyebrow waxing: I ask for my brows to be cleaned up. I figured that was enough to implicate that I just wanted them...cleaned. up. Well the middle part didn't hurt too bad..but when she waxed under my right eyebrow I was shocked at how much it hurt...and then I looked in the mirror and hal my effing eyebrows are gone! AND they aren't even. So Ive been strategically plucking one hair at time and they are starting to look better but it will take MONTHS to grow out.
livingsocial.com coupon for mani/pedi: salon is a mess. But sometimes good things come in small...err old and pack ratty packages..so I go with it. The 18 year old who does my toes doesn't even file them even and the polish is uneven and on my cuticles. Then she goes to do my fingernails with gel polish..pushes back my cuticles with a rough file so they are still sore and at that point I just tell her I know how this should go and no more...so slow down and do a good job. Then I walk her through the rest of it. I should have got paid to have my nails done. Sigh. I gave the place a bad review with livingsocial and I am sure I wasn't the only one.
By the time I got home I was tired and emotional and then my parents get there...with all four dogs. Making a total of six dogs in my house. My two, my brothers two pitbulls (the sweetest girls ever, I totally love them) and then my parents two cockerspaniels. I asked them why they didn't just bring their 70 lbs sulcatta tortoise too. lol.
It was just one of those days.

Tomorrow I am resting and doing a bit of grocery shopping. I is tired!

I'll be back on here tomorrow to respond to everyone.

At the moment, I'm frustrated. Silly me updated the BodyBugg ap and now it doesn't work!!!! The fix better come out soon... And my team lost by 5 to OSU.

I will go with a maintain this week 214.4.

Have lots of chores and cleaning to do today (mow the yard, clean the house, do some cooking, go to the gym), plus a couple errands...ok maybe the only errand is going to the grocery store.

It's just a very somber day......

Lacey- that's horrible! I've always had pretty good luck with livingsocials and groupons. And when the eyebrows get messed up, it is a BIG deal. You never know how important they are until they look weird.

And a big congrats to kerry!! One day, we will all join you!

As for me, weekend-1....megan-0. Seems to be a pattern. Enjoying a lazy Sunday. Hope everyone is great!

I had a total fail-day. I ate cheesecake and onion rings for lunch. Now I'm sitting here listening to Mazzy Star and being all bummed about The Hubbs being gone (again). He's only gone till Thursday, so it REALLY isn't a big deal but by my mood you'd think he'd be gone for months (like last time). I think I'm just tired of it. And I'm tired of picking up his slack when he isn't here. The Hubbs went through all this trouble to enroll The Kid in a German soccer school (emailing the director back and forth and filling out the registration form, which was in German and all that) and the kid starts the training tomorrow and who gets to step in at the last minute and figure out where to go and what to do...that would be me. The Hubbs is also gonna be gone next Monday and Tuesday for yet another trip and I get to take me & The Kid to our German dentist appointments (I really hate dealing with the language barrier - it seriously stresses me out and I hate finding new places with my seriously wonky GPS - I KNOW I'm whining) while getting ready for my Paris trip. Also, The Hubbs was put in charge of getting a sitter for the dogs for the time he & The Kid are up in Bruges with me & Lacey and he STILL hasn't freaking done it. I don't think the old lady who watches Sofie is eager to take Sofie AND Loki so I think he's gonna have to find someone else...but he hasn't even THOUGHT about it. It drives me NUTS to not have a plan. Part of me wants to break down and take care of it (which is exactly what he is waiting for me to do) but this is the ONLY thing I've asked him to do, it would seriously piss me off to have to do that too.

Lacey - Oh no! Next time there's a (non-sticky) liquid issue with a phone, pop it in some rubbing alcohol for just a couple seconds, then take it as apart as you can get it without a screwdriver, memory cards and all. Works MUCH better than rice. I used to sell cell phones, and you won't believe the number of people who drop their phone in the toilet. >.> And then hand them to you.

Amy - I hope he hurries up and finds you a dog sitter! I don't blame you for wanting to have a plan.

I'm down 6.8 pounds for the week, but I think a good part of that is weighing myself in the morning instead of in the afternoon like I had been. Either way, I'll take it!

hey all, havnt been around much the last few days, managed to loose 2 pounds this week so its all good, trying to get in the habit of cooking every night and making enough so i can bring some to work the next day for lunch
