Hello Hello Hello ))))))))

Is there an echo in here? LOL Sorry I have been busy with life and without internet for almost 2 whole weeks. I tell you I need a 12 step program when it comes to the internet. Phone I could do with out and I was telling everyone I could live without TV but well that was a big fat lie! I could not live without Big Brother and Survivor and Make me a Super Model and all those other reality shows I watch.

Still going to the gym although I missed about 2 weeks of that, but I am back on track tonight was my 4th night this week. I am also still tanning and have achieved a nice toasty color. The girl at the tanning bed tried to broil me last night. I usually go for 15 minutes and that was what i told her I wanted but obviously she knows more then I do about what I need to she put me in for 20l. I stuck it out but boy it was hot.

I will post some pictures this weekend. Emily got her hair cut and it looks real cute. We are still waiting to hear about Baldwin and should know something within the next 2 weeks. I had a date on Saturday and I think it went pretty well. He was very nice and took me to eat Japanese food. So we will see how that turns out.

That is about here for now. I will post again soon:)

Good Sunday to you:)

It was a pretty good weekend, My friend Kim and I went on a field trip yesterday to tattoo parlor. Pardon the tan lines:)

I have been wanting a new tattoo for a while and finally got one:) It hurt like hell but was worth it.

Then last night I went out with my mom and some of her friend to celebrate my moms 51st birthday. We had a good time and drank a little to much, ok a lot to much:) But we had fun and the band was awesome.

Emily finally has her audition for Baldwin Arts magnet this coming Saturday at 7:55am. So keep her in your thoughts. I know she will do awesome but I am sure everyone else who is auditioning will also:)

Still sticking it out at the gym. I can not remember if this is week 4 or 5, but I feel like my body is starting to crave going to the gym. Still tanning too as you can see from the tan lines:)

Talk to you soon.

That is all for now.

Day late

I did not get to post last night because the kids and I were getting picture taken. Craig spent the weekend with his dad for some guy time so the girls and I made a weekend out of it. Saturday we went and had our toes done and had dinner, did some shopping and just enjoyed being together.

I made it to the gym 5 times last week so still going strong. My final weigh in for scale back alabame is March 8-14

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from last night.

That is all for now. Have a great week:)

Happy Sunday

Well after all the excitement of last week I have very little to share. I made it to the gym 6 times this week! Yea Me! LOL I even did a little running on the treadmill today and I do mean little.

Ashleigh went to a dress up birthday party today. Of course she was so excited to get to dress up for the party and we went through a couple of different costumes before I threatened to just leave her and go by myself. So she decides to go as a dancer with a leotard and a skirt and 5 minutes after we get there she ditches the skirt and just runs around in her leotard. Of course if you know Ashleigh you know if we had let her she would have probably opted to just run around in her undies. Thanks for the invite Pam and Happy Birthday Jonah!!!

A bright spot to my week was that SURVIVOR stared on Thursday night. I was excited to see some of my favorite players back this season. I really hope James is a bit smarter and not as trusting this season! I think if he and Ozzie were to team up they would be a force, but I have a feeling a pretty little thing might be the down fall of my man James this season:( Man oh man am I glad they got rid of Johnny Fairplay on the first show!

OK off to try and catch Brothers and Sisters, my mom said they have a new one on this week.

Later:)

What a weekend

Man what a weekend. The girls and I went Friday night to see Hannah Montana 3d and it was fun. It is a definite see and you only have 1 week so hurry up! Fly me to the moon which is about 3 little flies that go up on the space shuttle, and Journey to the Center of the Earth with Brendon frazier.

I also joined the gym this weekend. We have a new Planet fitness and for $20 month I get unlimited use of the equipment, unlimited visitors and unlimited tanning. It is kind of nice walking in and the girls behind the counter are normal sized woman. I have never been on to tan but I decided to try it out. I made my first trip to the gym today and hit the treadmill for 20 minutes, the bike for 10 and the tanning bed for 7.

Other then that we just hung out and watched movies. We are not big on Football. So skipped the Superbowl.

January 31st was my last official day as a Stampin up demonstrator. I am sad to be out but also a little glad. I get to scrapbook and make cards for me now. It is tough always having to be creative for other people. Kind of takes the fun out of it. So now I will be joining workshops and have some fun. Of course I placed one last really big order to get all the things I just had to have before I lost my discount.

Have a great week everyone:)

Interesting conversations in the car

Every other weekend I meet the ex half way to exchange kids. If is about a 45 minute drive and boy do we have some interesting coversations in the car. Yesterday was just one of those occasions.

Ashleigh, " mom why do we have eyebrows"?
Me, " to protect our eyes. We have eyebrows and eyelashes to catch things that might fall into our eyes and cause damage that could make us blind." (heck I have no clue if this is true but I have it in my head that I read it someone so we are just going with it. I think this is how urban legends are made)

A couple of minute pass and Ashleigh says, "mom did you know you have mites in your eye brows? " Me "What! Where did you hear that?" Ashleigh, "don't you watch the discovery channel mom?" "Well yea but I must have missed the eyebrow mite program! Yuck What do the mites eat, dead skin cells?"

Then out of no where Emily, ever the straight man chimes in with " I guess the crap that falls into your eyebrows" I was very caught off guard and had I been drinking I would have spit soda out of my nose. It was a good laugh and everything I have though about it today I have gotten the giggles. So i tht I would share it with you guys. I have it brings a laugh to your day.


In other news, we go a new dog. A girl at work was moving and could not take her dog and did not want to put it in the bulliten board because she wanted to make sure it had a good home. My girl friend Pam says I have a big red S on my forehead for sucker because if someone has an animal they are geeting rid of we end up with it.

Heidi is a sweet 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier. She sleeps in a pillow case, with the pillow still in it. It is the funnest thing and I need to get a picture. The only thing you see is her head sticking out.

That is it for now. I hope you have a great week

**SNOW**

The kids have been driving me crazy all week because the weather man said we might have snow this weekend. Ashleigh ask me last night if I thought it would snow and I told her I didn't think so. It was not cold enough yet for snow. So she told me when she said her prayers she would ask God to make it cold enough to snow. We woke up to rain this morning so there went the hope of snow right out the weekend. About 9:45 am the rain stopped and big fat chunky flakes started to fall. Ashleigh was over the moon excited. The last time it snowed here was 2001 and she was way to young to remember. So this is her "first snow ever". This morning she told me she prayed last night and God brought the snow. It lasted for a couple of hours and then turned back to rain so we have no more snow:(

Here are a couple of pictures.

And my big guy with his snowman:)

that is it for here today. I took enough pictures today to make a mini album so Ashleigh can remember the snow. I will post pictures when it is done. TTFN
