so early...but it's friday!
good morning, girls. been busy the last few days and today is the last day of the conference. i am done at noon and will go for a run and then im going to the boston aquarium and then shopping and some dinner. should be nice. if i dont fall asleep instead...
went out and completely binged last night and felt horrible. had 1 cocktail which made me throw caution to the wind and a got a greasy pasta dish AND cheesecake. i didnt finish both (almost did) and within 2 hours i was so sick i was throwing up. my body is not used to huge amounts of bad-for-you food and i felt so sick and so stupid for not getting something small and healthy 
WHATS WRONG WITH ME??
hope everyone has a good friday!
Re: so early...but it's friday!
grumble, grumble, grumble. morning.
I'm so glad its Friday. I'm exhausted. I only have a half day of work because I get to go back to the allergist again and then I'm getting a hair cut.
Do you ever give yourself a cheat day for unhealth(ier) food? Thats pretty much the only way I can convince myself to eat healthy the rest of the week. I get bored too easily with food. Sorry it made you sick though!

Weekend, here we come.
2 meetings today, then dinner reservations with K for our 6-month anniversary. Yup, we're dorks. Also figuring it'll be one of the last times we get out for a while, so we intend to enjoy!!
Hamburgers & mac & cheese for dinner last night (so good to be so bad). Then did three loads of laundry, picked up the bedroom and living room, unloaded the dishwasher, wrote about a third of the thank yous from the baby shower and was just settling into bed when K came home from bowling. And, appt went well. Doc gave me a drop-dead-date of April 19th - hoping I don't have to wait that long for little man to arrive!!
My sis is coming up this weekend (I think) to go boozing with some of K's cousin's friends. Very weird association. But, otherwise, I wouldn't see her until after baby, so I don't want to complain too much.
ltb, i dont have a cheat day per say but i do always tap into my extra 49 bonus points from ww, usually on weekends when i have wine and we eat out.
susieq--SO SOON! i cannot wait until the day that i am sitting here on the nest and you pop on and say "heading to the hospital!!!!"

Good Morning!
Happy 6 Months for the last of us 9/10 girls. (I believe)
Yay Susieq for celebrating I wish we were.I saw Greg this morning and I won't see him again till oh maybe 11pm if I'm lucky,
Tampa has the Gasparillia independent film festival this weekend. My friend bought 6 on groupon for $24 so we are going to see one of the films tonight.
No other real plans for this weekend. Relaxing since I have been SOOOO tired.

I was looking at it yesterday (when it was still a honeydew or canteloupe or whatever) and thinking...this kid is watermelon size, dammit. Change, ticker!
And the realization that I'm going to have to go through labor is finally hitting me. Drugs are looking better & better every day.
Happy Friday!
I'm happy because as of today I've officially lost 10 pounds! Not sure how much I'm really going to TRY to lose after this - 10 pounds was the initial goal I had in my head.
I'm sad because H and I are going to stop and get dinner on the way to NYC tonight. I'm SO tempted already to get something naughty. We're going to TGI Fridays I think and I want the cajun chicken and shrimp pasta. yum. I'm going to try to at least get home early enough today to get on the treadmill for my half hour and shower before we leave. This time I'm actually packed and ready to go in advance so I'll have some time to kill before H gets home.
Can't. wait. to. get. out. of. here. already.
Does the ticker stay at watermelon until your due date? I can't imagine what it would switch to after a watermelon. Drugs are good. Very good. If I ever have a kid, I'd really like to just be completely knocked out but I know thats pretty unlikely.
H was watching one of those shows on the History channel about 2012 and randomly said to me, "So you know, if there is even the slightest bit of truth to this stuff and even best case scenario, we lost power for a few months, I really don't want you to be pregnant then because there's no way you'd make it through a natural birth without drugs, electricity, etc." So I think I bought myself some time. :-)

seriously, i have a friend who (jokingly, kind of) is waiting until after 2012 to decide to have babies. in the off chance that 2012 is the end of the world, she doesnt want to give birth to a child who will die during the apocalypse.

I feel the same way and would like to be drug the moment I can. I dpn't want to feel shiitt
I was watching "One Born Every Minute" last night on demand and this women was like I want to have a natural child birth, I am strong and can handle lots of pain (great for her!) The funniest part was when they were putting he IV in she starting flipping out and crying. (She ended up getting drugs)
OMG I didn't event think of that lol. As it stands now, H and I are planning to start trying in September 2012. If I get KU right away, I guess that would make me nice and pregnant during the apocalypse. Awesome.
It's Friday (yay). I've already been to a meeting and had a fire drill and therapies.
Susie -- a watermelon and only 21 days! So exciting!!
Last night, (TMI, probably) I waxed Jeremy's stomach..he cringed, I laughed and enjoyed yanking those strips off. I'm a terrible wife. I told him it would hurt and he was an idiot for wanting to do it but whatev.
I've told myself I am not leaving this school until I have finished this damn paperwork (and here I am on TN). Even though I know that's a lie since I'm waiting on half the kids to return signed papers.
No plans this weekend which sounds amazing for a change since we have no freek weekends in April or May. I feel like my theme song for those months will be "On the road again"...yeah
It's Friday...about damn time!!!
Susie - I can't believe in a few weeks you'll be a Mommy! So exciting! I can't wait to see pictures! Oh, and pictures of the nursery too!
Citygirl - major congrats on the -10Ibs!!!
I seriously need to drop a lot of weight...I've gained back all that I lost for the wedding and I'm feeling grossed out by that! Don says I look great, but I don't feel it. I think the next few months while we're apart will help me get serious...God I really hope so!!!
I'm not doing much at work today...like usual...just trying to get everything ready for the new girl so I won't get 1000 calls a day! I just have next week left at this hellhole! WooHoo!!!
Tonight I think I'm making thing pasta taco mac thing...it's pretty yummy and makes enough for leftovers the next night. I don't think we have anything planned for the weekend either besides starting to get me ready to move and buying some last minute things I'll need. I'm so excited!!! But when I start my new job I won't be on here during the day anymore
just at night
Shauni, the same thing happens to me when I'm eating healthy. I can tell I've fallen off the wagon a bit, because we over-indulged at Bonefish Grill last night (first time I'd been there) and it didn't make me ill.
I'm still fighting off allergies/sinus infection/WTFever. This morning I stood in the shower for a really, really long time, gripping the bar so I didn't pass out from exhaustion/dizziness, just because it felt so good in there. I'm sort of in a daze and I swear, the stuff on my computer screen is not making any sense. I can't tell if that's because of being sick, the medicine I took, or just that it's actually nonsensical. Or all three. Thank goodness the weekend is almost here!
hey all!!!!
THANK GOD (or whomever/whatever you thank to) that it's friday!
J started his new quarter for classes last night. For the next 11 wks he has class on thurs. AND fri nights. I'm hoping to get in some quality girlfriend time during these 11 weeks, but tonight I'm looking forward to going home, making WW mac n chz and veggie out.
I had splurge night last night too. I did some grocery shopping and by the time I was done I did NOT feel like cooking. soooo, I went to burger king. I was craving a big fast food burger. It was great. I loved it. And now I have to be good the rest of the week. :-)
Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend from high school for lunch. She's taking her kids on a mini-vaca to Wisconsin dells, so we're going to meet up on their way up there. I'm being good and already looked at the menu to where we're going and i'm planning out what I can eat based on WW points.
I think it stays the same until D-Day, but I'm convinced that the watermelon explodes after my due date. Won't that be pretty?
WTF did he want you to do this? In any case, it was probably good therapy after your fight the other night.
Morning. Good, I don't know, but morning yes it is. I'm in a really bad place right now, and I won't be a Debbie Downer and discuss it with the exception of one of the reasons I'm so sad. Just found out yesterday that Richard has to work this weekend. He won't have a day off until NEXT Saturday. This sucks. I was looking forward to my weekend with my Husband.
I totally believe in the end of the world in 2012. It scares me to death.
Susie - can't believe you're nearly there! And if you're dorks, so are we. I've been eager to try this new restaurant right by our train station. Pricey place, so we've been 'saving' it for a special occasion.
Also, we're going to see Sucker Punch in IMAX this weekend. This is first movie we've both agreed to see in several months.
I'm so ready to go home already and I have only been at work for about an hour. I put in for a .65 cent/hour raise and it didn't come on this paycheck so i'm pretty irratated, if it's not on next weeks pay check I am calling corporate to say WTF? I haven't gotten a raise in 2 years! On the up side, my mom wanted to go shopping last night for a dress (she has some black tie thing tonight) and she always waits until the last minute to get a dress. So I went with her because I knew I was guaranteed to get something, so she bought me a pair of Sperry's I have been wanting for a long time and a necklace. I love my new shoes they are so comfortable.
Then she made me a proposition. My whole family wants me to loose weight for my health. So she made me a deal when I loose 20 pounds she will give me one thousand dollars. I didn't really except, because I feel like thats some kind of wierd pressure on me. And yes thats the kind of family we are, I know it's wierd but we admit it. haha
Yep, he wanted it...I have no idea why (my guess would probably be because he's lost so much weight and running/working out that he now has abs and wants to show them off??) but he wouldn't shut up about it so I did it.
Oh I love my Sperry's. I probably should buy a new pair but OMG they killed my feet when I first bought them. Now that they're nicely broken in, they are my favorite shoes.
I don;t believe it will end but it scares me to death thinking about it. Greg will watch those end of the world apcolyse things and I yell at him everytime because it freaks me out.
WHAT!?!?!? First of all, do they want to adopt me, cuz I could stand to lose a lot more than 20 lbs, and i could also use $1000!!!
2nd- How do you feel about it? I mean, were you insulted or anything? I guess I only ask this, b/c if my mom offered that, I would be offended I think. I mean, first of all, she would have no room to talk and could lose weight herself. But it would also make me feel weird and question a lot of things Ex: "are they embarassed by me?"
I do the same when Richard watches these shows. I make him change the channel.
I also can't watch any of the ASPCA commercials, or that one with the song from City of Angels "In the Arms of the Angels" where they show all the animals in shelters. It makes me sad to watch that commercial so I always have to change it.
i would either change the channel or turn my head the other way...i can't handle seeing their sad little faces...breaks my heart!
jedaniel - i think if my mom offered me $1000 to lose 20Ibs id do it...it'd be motivation for me. but then again, my mom wouldnt' ever offer me that kind of money...haha, not even $100 i think. and i think id be offended too like moleson said.
