Re: AW Thursday....

  • Hm... nothing big that I can think of! But I did get a dress for the June weddings at Ross yesterday. I bought it for $20 and it retails for WAAAAAAAAAY more! And I'm going to buy new shoes today. LOL
  • I have lots of little things I'm happy about:

    1.  Caught a Stoney LaRue guitar pick last night - my memorbilia collection is growing! =)

    2.  Going to see James Otto tonight

    3.  My bestest buddy has a meeting in Austin today - I might get to have lunch with him.

  • I've lost 7 pounds in the past couple of weeks by doing what I call "South Beach Lite"  basically the South Beach diet but I get a glass of red wine here and there...and walking at night.  I've also been shopping for our Bahamas vacation (which we switched from going to Mexico) and have got some cute bathing suits, cover-ups, big floppy hats to match each suit and summer dresses.  I can't wait to go...next week!
  • I'm down another 1.6 lbs this week! I just KNEW I was going to gain, so this was a very pleasant surprise!
  • I was married one year on Sunday! It went by really fast.

    I had a giftcard to Macy's leftover from our wedding and their Nine West purses were 25% off so I only had to pay $25 for an $89 purse for my stepmom for Mother's Day. Yay!

  • AW: new running kicks!

    1. ?I'm going out with the girls for dinner/drinks/Rent tonight, wheee!

    2. ?I'm done with my beating of a class and only have 1.5 more classes to deal with this semester.

    3. ?Kitten is officially off the bottle and is a sippy-cup only girl!?

  • See my I love May! post from yesterday!

  • I'll bite since Chris just reminded me of this....

    1. C is also officially off the bottle & onto sippies.  He likes the Nuby ones the best. I'm trying to get him to understand how to drink from the straw-kind (the Nuby kind where you have to bite it in order to get the liquid to come out).  So far it's been a no-go, but he is officially off the bottle so I packed them all away for our next ankle-biter.

    2. We'll see if this month is the month for #1 to come true or not.  :)

    3. C started at his new daycare on Monday.  Yay!  Today has been his first official day back since Monday.  They called with him having a fever, due to an ear infection. 

    4. C takes his meds like a champ.  Gotta love not getting pink-staining amoxcillian not all over the place.  :)

    5. We are also officially off the paci.  He transitioned over to a stuffed elephant that I found over at World Market for his Easter basket.  It's soft, knitted & the eyes are sew on, so they aren't choking hazards.

  • My Mom/Sister and Niece are coming into town this weekend.  I am so excited. 

    I am studing to get my Real Estate License and so excited about it.   It's something I have always wanted to do but would have never quite my job with benefits to do it.  Since I was laid off I decided to go ahead and do it.  I am so excited about the opportunity.  Even in a down market I think this is a great choice for us.   With DH in Mortgages we will make a great team! 

    My kids are so much fun.  I love being home with them and having all this time with them.   Ryan is a walking, eating, babbling fool at almost 15 months old.  Ashlyn is a little Mommy and such a great big sister.  She is "Teaching her buddy all sorts of stuff" as she says it.  

     

  • I had my AW yesterday, just excited to be pg again and also that I have been feeling so good so far. I can only hope that I continue to escape the wrath of morning sickness as I have so far, even still, I just want a healthy baby even if I have to puke my guts out every day for the next 7 months.
  • Sorry I have one more!   I have lost 23lbs since January 5th.  I am so proud of myself!   I have about 10lbs to go to get to my original goal.  
  • We finally got a grown up TV this week, a 58" plasma.  That's more of a DH AW, bc I have yet to get the remote and I'm always stuck watching his boring stuff...  :P  Oh, and we finally got cable a couple of weeks ago... baby steps, people.
  • I have my first interview for a teaching job tomorrow!

    Congrats Nikki!  Our grown-up TV purchase was a 46" Sony LCD that we hung on the wall.  It looks great in our living room.  I love having HD.  we also purchased a Weber Grill that same weekend.  I love to grill out.  :)  It's been over 10yrs since I've even had a grill.
