AW/Whatever Thursday!
I know most of you already know but my two weeks at Disney World starts tomorrow!!!! This time tomorrow, I will be waiting at Love Field to take off. I can't post here from my iPad or my iPhone but I'll be posting on Facebook a couple of times a day with a picture or two.
I've almost finished all my packing so I'm feeling pretty good about myself. However, Bill is the one stressing me out--he hasn't packed one darn thing!!!!! Ugh.
Re: AW/Whatever Thursday!
I hope you have a great time Julie!! We went right after we got engaged (first time for both of us) and it was such a fun trip.
I need to get packing since I'll be on a plane this time tomorrow.

Yay Julie! I know you're excited.
I don't have an AW today.
But, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment, to be honest. Last night was a little rough for me.
I took a ton of medication to help me sleep and went to bed before 9pm, and didn't wake up until about 8. And I could have slept longer.
I love the summer, but I'm ready for August to be here so I don't have to feel so overwhelmed 24-7.
Awww, Summer, I'm sorry that you're feeling so overwhelmed. Is it just school?
Julie, have a great time and I love your siggy pic!
Summer, YAY for sleep!
My AW is DH and I have decided we need to start working out. Plus the doctor told DH he needs to lower his cholesterol a lot. I'm looking forward to it, but now we just have to get moving.
What are ya'll going to do to work out?

Yay Julie - post pictures on FB, too please.
I've also been working out. I'm not terribly consistent, but I try to do something at least every other day. Yesterday I went running. I'm not sure how far, but it was for at least 20 minutes. Which I know isn't that big of a deal. But, still. Running.
Any pointers?
I know what you mean! I work out at home and if I get home and don't immediately work out, I get distracted and won't do it. :-p And I am easily distracted! I think DH and I are going to start running again. I hate running in the summer, just because I get so hot and can be very sensitive to the heat, but I am getting bored with my workouts and not wanting to do them :-/

If you want to walk/jog - Couch to 5k is an amazing program. My DH is starting it on Monday and I am doing it again with him. There are iphone and android apps that tell you when to walk/run and what distance/time to do each day or you can go to the website and keep track of it yourself : http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
AW: I'm getting the piano that I learned to play on as a child on Saturday! I'm so excited to teach myself again, it has been years but I still remember.
Whatever: I've had "Moves Like Jagger" stuck in my head continuously since Tuesday.
Also, does anyone need a queen size bed? We have a Spring Air back supporter mattress and box set sitting against the wall in our guest room that I really want out of there, asap! I listed it on CL this morning, but would happily sell it to one of you so I don't have to meet creepers at my house.
I don't need the mattress but just wanted to tell you that if you end up just wanting it gone and list it on CL for free be sure to either only give an email you just created or a phone number you don't care about. We have given away two mattresses for free on CL and have literally been bombarded by calls - like someone on one line and someone beeping in on the other for an hour straight. And damn, were the people rude.
The time I did email, I got so many emails the HR department in my company sent me an email about making sure I was careful about my Blackberry data on weekends. Never again.
I hope my run goes well tonight. I am doing a 5k Saturday morning and my run on Tuesday was horrible. I couldn't even keep up a 4 mph walking pace because I was so drained. I am hoping it was just from my monthly friend and won't be the case tonight or especially Saturday.
You would think that people would be nicer....especially if they are getting something off of CL for free!
DH and I are going to run tonight. I want to run, but I haven't run in a while, so I'm afraid I won't do so well! Oh well, I have to start somewhere!

If you want a good workout, I would recommend it :-) I made it through fine the first time, but for some reason, I can't get myself through a second round of it. Now I am just skipping workouts and gaining the weight I lost before the wedding :-( It's making me really sad!

Heh, well it's not free, and I'd never put my phone # on there and my email is masked so they have to send thru CL. Thanks for the tips though!
I have nothing other than we are going for our follow up appointment with the specialist tomorrow and God willing he will tell us everything is ok with the baby.
Julie and Lauren have fun on your vacations/trips.
Amanda, GL with the exercise stuff. I also recommend the C25K program as well.
Tiffany, GL with selling the mattress.

Yep, just school. Thanks for asking.
So on a side note, a friend of mine is all gung ho about her 1 year old being a model. She sent in pictures to an agency yesterday. I hate to be mean. But her kid isn't anything out of the ordinary. Is that mean? Of course I'd never tell her that.
But I've seen some gorgeous babies out there. And she's cute, don't get me wrong, but modeling material? I think not.
I feel like my friend is trying to live the childhood she wanted, through her child. She was never the "pretty one" in school, and never popular. And she's always said she wants her daughter to do cheerleading, and how she's going to be so pretty, blablabla. It's kind of sad to me.
We have a house phone that we don't actually have a phone hooked-up to. That is my CL phone number, I just plug a phone in (a corded phone no less...haha!) and sell the thing, then unplug the phone. The email was masked too, I was just warning you if you have a smart phone with email push - the data amount got insane.
I want to go but don't want to go alone, so please, please let me know if you go and we can meet there! It is going to be hot but I really want to meet Pa and Jed and of course Ben. I also want one of the Do Life tour shirts. They are a better color than any of the standard Do Life shirts.
I was watching Toddlers and Tiaras the other night and it was seriously one of the saddest episodes I have seen. The two girls they focused on both had mothers that seemed to be living through their children. It's so sad how this happens and I feel for both the child and the mother.
I agree. Not to mention, part of me wants to say "shut up about it! She's not that gorgeous!" of course I never would, but she talks about her like she's some prodigy beauty to all that have ever been infants. It's ridiculous.
I will totally let you know. I plan to make my final decision on it this weekend. That is a crazy work week for me, but I think I might be able to do it. Honestly, I don't spend a lot of time on the Dallas side of town and I am not sure where the meet up location is. I am going to try to Google map it and see how far it is from my office.
I made a GM this morning using Silk vanilla PureAlmond and wow, what a difference. Now it's almost too sweet! But it's much creamier and better, yay.
Julie I am so envious! Have a wonderful time!
My AW: Ben checked my credit score yesterday for the first time in a long time and it is through the roof. I am so excited. I have had some issues in the past from when I was young and very, very stupid. So it's nice to know it's all behind me.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Summer - I feel sorry for the little girl.
Stephie - Awesome! Congratulations.
Awesome on both accounts! :-) I skipped making the GM the past two days to give my stomach time to settle. It seems to be doing a lot better now!

Yay! On both counts. I knew the GM experience would improve! Also, I totally feel you on the credit thing. I had some issues with my step-dad feeling like it was okay to use my identity to open credit cards, etc. once he had trashed both his and my mom's credit. It was a big Surprise! when I went to buy my first car at 20. With the last cars we bought it had improved so much I nearly cried in the finance guy's office.
Sara - Yes, let me know. I NEVER go to Dallas, so I am going to have to map it out and leave extra early to get there.
Other Nesties - The blogger Ben, from Ben Does Life is coming to Dallas and doing an improtu 5k walk/run and hang out afterward. If any of you ladies (BL? Wendi?) want to come too we could make it a mini-G2G.
Monday, July 11th ? 6:30 p.m.
Katy Trail
Meet at parking lot at Reverchaon Park
ETA: This Youtube video sums up a big part of Ben's story and why I love him.
Stephie that's awesome!
Bio Good Times
Well that is right here by me and Mondays are Ben's workout nights. But how many of you will be running? Because I've never done one so I will probably fail miserably.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
Julie - YAY! have fun at WDW!
Kathy - good luck tomorrow. Please let us know how things go.
Summer - I hope you get some time to relax.
My AW - DH and I decided that we are going to go to Napa for our 1yr anniversary! WAHOO! I've never been and am so excited! If you have any tips for SFO or Napa, please share.

TTC - Since September 2011
With the exception of 20 minutes on Tuesday and 7 minutes from yesterday's yoga/stretch, I have finished an entire week of workout videos on schedule instead of doing something every other day and putting off working out for other things. Workouts now come first. I have also decided to walk to the other side of the building on the hour because walking at lunch is just not doing it for me.
I was lurking on H&F yesterday and someone asked about alternating shoes when you workout. Is that necessary to do? Does anyone alternate? I've never heard of that so I don't and I wear the same shoes to work as well.
