I read the beginning & end of The Shack.. I didn't like it. The Ham & Cheese soup didn't reheat well for me, but the 2nd day I added a spoon of guacamole dip (Dean's brand--it's like green sour cream) instead of Sour Cream.. added a different taste. I just ate a brownie with cream cheese icing. People gotta quit having birthdays around here!! I give in 1/3 times they bring something in. I can do pretty good about passing up sheet cake--even though I love sheet cake... but when they bring in something 'different', that's another story. I got some maternity shirts from Gap, which I've liked.. I bought some more because I like to layer--I almost always wear a long sleeve maternity tee with a short sleeve maternity shirt over the top every day. So I got some more shirts.. well this one I got today goes down to mid-thigh. Looks like a dress?! I feel even more frumpy now in this thing. Did 24m on wii-fit last night. I actually got across the tight rope!! I was proud, since 3 people at work--we keep talking about it, no one has gotten all the way across. Most of them time out. I was down to 9 seconds with a few steps to go, so I started running in place to get across lol. I think I literally made it with 1 second to go. Also the wii-fit asks you about other people on there. It asked Russell yesterday "How do you think LaLa is doing?" and asks if I look more toned, slimmer, etc.. he picked 'more toned'. which is a lie.. so when it asked me about him, I put 'he looks the same' and he acted hurt.. but I explained, if I don't LIE now, when he really does look different he'll feel good about himself. I *know* i don't look more toned, so for him to put that--did nothing for me. So one day if I DO look more toned, I won't really know because he lied to begin with! And that's that.. oh and we made RSVP for our V'day dinner.. we go to this place called Pauli's every year and I get their duck.. mm..

I have the smallest Allergan band, 9.75" & 4cc.. My doc decides which one to put in, when he gets in there. He thought I would need the 10", but ends up I didn't. I don't know anything about the Realize band though, so no help there.

I just sold a huge job today for inauguration stuff.. I guess it's music that was played there.. anyway, job cost lots of $$ and someone confused my customer with another sales' customer so he's been walking around bragging about the sale.. when he got around to me, I said no--that's my customer. Teehee.

Ohhhh one other thing, I didn't give your addresses to the girl throwing my baby shower, because I didn't want ya'll to think you had to send a gift since you're all coming to Alabama & that's my gift from ya'll :thumbup:) I didn't think any of you would be able to come, but if you do let me know, it's going to be Feb. 28 and I'll have her send you an invite.

We went to the mall for lunch.. The chinese place there is just gross, and I remember growing up it was my fav. place! I tried sesame chicken, 2 bites of it.. yuck. So I got an egg drop soup, ate 2/3 of it. Then stopped at a new place in the food court, that sells burgers. Not a single person went there while we were there, should have told me something.. but I ordered a burger, took 20 minutes to cook it (jeez). It was not good, so I threw it away after 2 bites. Good news is, they had sheet cake and banana pudding and I wanted them both sooooo bad. I SAID NO!!! And I didn't die. Yay all us didn't die today from saying -no- to food. Almost all the stores in the mall are going out of business, including K-B Toy Store. We went by to see if they had any infant toys, everything is 70% off. The place was pretty much picked through, only found one infant toy and it's something that attaches to a play mat, so we passed on it. Oh well. I ordered a Lamaze toy, which get great reviews everywhere and are pretty cheap.. I got Morti the Moose Hehe! Oh I forgot, I ordered this last week..

The New Whey are the ones I use to get too, the grape was the 'best' to me, but I didn't 'drink' any of them.. they all tasted disgusting, and the thought of mixing them in another drink which meant I had to drink it for a while was a horrible idea to me. I would 'shoot' 1/2 at a time. Once in the morning, once in the evening. Much like alcohol, shoot half and chased it with water..

As someone who is no model bandster when it comes to junk food.. Using a daily journal like myplate (that's just the one I like the most, but there's plenty out there), to log how much you eat, really helps me--especially in the beginning. Log every single thing that goes in your mouth. I never cut out junk food completely, which is why I think if I ever lost the band I'd definitely be up a creek.. but meanwhile, if I have a snack size bag of chips or a candy bar...log it, and adjust from there on how I will eat for the rest of the day.. Say I had a chocolate bar that upped my calories, when I have dinner I'll pick a lower-cal veggie (like asparagus or green beans) instead of something like corn or potatoes.

Woohoo EJM :thumbup: Time really starts to stand still when you finally let go of the paranoia and get excited! Sheesh, every day seems like forever away.

She was KILLED? I went back and watched the beginning again after seeing the show.. I hate what Jenny turned into as well (so does Russ, this is one of the few dramas I can get him to watch--maybe cause of the lesbian sex scenes!!). I didn't pick up that she was killed, I thought she drowned? I don't remember what happened at the end of last season, but I will be very disappointed in the last season if it's all about Jenny.. she's my least favorite character.

Pam- I didn't know Big Love started this week too, I'll have to check my tivo tonight. I did watch the United States of Tara-- very funny! I wonder if that's how it's really like?? And why would you have kids?? Anyway, definitely a different premise for a show, it has our attention. Did you watch L Word? My TiVo records it on Monday some reason (must overlap on Sunday). Jenny is dead??? I wonder how long they're going to take to tell us why.. maybe this whole final season is the last 3 months? Ugh.. I hate that this is the final season.

Oh hah hah just a tidbit speaking of FLYING MONKEYS. When I hung the toy hammock back up after having to take it down for painting, the flying monkey fell out and went off.. and my dog jumped 4ft in the air-literally. It was hilarious.. Russ was in there too, we almost dropped the hammock from laughing at her.

Terry- Yeah I heard the other night when I couldn't sleep, they said they set up 7,000 port-a-potties in the area. I thought, gee that's a lot--so did the reporter. Then I thought about it--they are anticipating something like 2 million people right? 2 million people / 7,000 port-a-potties.. That's roughly 300 people per port-a-pottie. NO THANKS.

Welcome Christy :wink2: Good luck with your decision, it's the best thing I ever decided to do! I live in Madison/Huntsville.

((Jenn)) Ayla is a pretty name, I'm trying hard not to say "I wanna girrrrrrl!!!" Hehehe. I really just want a girl while they're young & can play dress up, then as they go through puberty swap it to a boy :wink2: So I did myplate yesterday, was doing great, and then I go to bed.. and have a packet of milano cookies--180c (I alloted for it, so that's ok!), but then I had 1/2 bag of popcorn..oy..and then ANOTHER pack of milano cookies?? And to finish it off..a banana. My night time munchies are just evil, I tell myself "NO NO NO STOP" and I do it anyway :Dancing_wub: Need to tie myself to the bed at night or something. My hand rash "thing" got horrible last night, worse it's ever been. I woke up throughout the night literally thinking my hands were on fire.. today they are covered in splits and scabs and they itch something crazy. Even my benadryl & itch-x creams are doing nothing. Psoriasis cream not helping last night either. I put a lot of medicated lotion on today and they're already dried, rash-y, and cracking.

Really sad, that we'd do this.. because what we need to introduce to these villages is a high fat, high calorie burger. Go us. :cursing: Burger King under fire for Whopper Virgins taste test challenge - Telegraph

Aww Gina they are so cute, I always wanted a german shephard, but russ wont let me get any breed that 'could' turn on me. L WORD STARTS BACK TONIGHT!! I am transferring it from the other tivo, I am so excited. Been a while since a really good show came back..and Lost tomorrow!! I did Wii fit for first time tonight, I did body test when we got it..Said I was 34, BMI 33/Obese..With no excercising I lost 1lb since then lol.. and my new age is 28 after doing the excercising. Russ has lost 5lb already, he does it every night after work. I did all kinds of different stuff for 30min, I even got perfect score on row-boat-squats, called me a body builder.. and Russ' score was way low on that, he couldn't do it. I did great on the tree pose in yoga too but only standing on left leg, with right leg I am wobbly and it was talkin about straightening my spine.. whew. Fun stuff, I'm gonna like wiifit!! I also started back on myplate today. Goodnight V's!

Aww woohoo congrats!! Before I knew, the only baby thing I bought was a girl's onesie thing I got from Cracker Barrel.. My fav. animal is an elephant and they had the cutest pink & yellow striped sleeper with a fuzzy elephant peeking out of the seam.. oh well! As soon as I found out it was a boy, I (still) find myself shopping daily for deals on cute baby boy stuff. So far my favorite is a dark green & cream striped thermal sleeper from Baby Gap with little green patches on the elbows and a hoodie. Girls stuff is so cute though, I have to not look.. and most elephant stuff I find is girls.. RL friend finds out tomorrow the sex of her baby.. she has 2 small boys, and her current pregnancy was twins but she lost one around 8 weeks. Curious to see if she's having another boy!!

Can't believe I'm going to answer hah hah, but this is basically what I was going to say. I've only done it with one guy (an ex--not my husband), and the first time we did it, he did not go slow, no foreplay to get it 'ready' and it tore (and I think I still have an anal fissure from it but too emberassed to ask a doc to check it out). So it was bad and hurt, etc. Same boyfriend we decided to try it again (he was really into it)and we did it the right way..slow, lots of lube, etc.. and it really was amazing, made my orgasm about 20x better. That being said, DH never has had anal, wanted to do it and for years I told him "I'm waiting till we're married!" truth is, he's bigger than the guy I did it with, and since DH has never done it, and blah blah.. I'd hate for it to tear again, or if he really liked it--it's NOT something I want to do all the time. Don't really want to walk him through it. And-the orgasm is really good, but I hate how you feel afterward.. like something was stretchin open yer butt, and the lube.. bleh. So I keep meaning to go there with him, but I'm lazy I guess. One of my best friends though, anal is about all the sex she has with her husband anymore. She likes it better (mostly) because they don't have to worry about getting pregnant, and they both really enjoy it. To each his own.

I heard that too, but this is the first time (well, that woke me up and I noticed) that he kicks in the middle of the night. It was so much and so fierce, it woke me up. I don't know if he was causing my stomach pains, or if he was reacting to whatever it was too. I didn't have anything unusual, just about 1c of mexican food & flan.. but that was hours before I went to bed. I don't normally feel him moving when I eat, I feel him moving when I'm about to eat.. like he knows it's coming and he gets excited lol. Like when I went to lunch today, I haven't felt him move since waking up in bed.. but sitting in the restaurant he started kicking really low until I started eating--then he stopped. Heather I meant to ask, does that mean you found out it's a girl (and I missed a post somewhere) or you just use 'she' as a generic baby gender?

I love getting my teeth cleaned. I'm terrified of dentists and when they do it I hold my breath and bear down even when it doesn't hurt.. but when I leave, I looooove how my teeth feel. We went to Circuit City during lunch, since they were going out of business.. well ours had tons of people there, and the deals weren't that great.. 10% off? Pff. Then we went to a steakhouse for lunch with my mom, I got grilled tilapia with corn relish, and baked sweet potato. Had 2 glasses of sweet tea too. Oh and it started SNOWING?! It was nice and warm yesterday, only needed a light jacket. It's 35 degrees(ish) but it's snowing.. not sticking of course. Our forecast for tomorrow is snow.. not just snow flurries, so I wonder if it's suppose to stick. So... weird. Not use to having to deal with the cold. I just got a breaking news from local news saying Water pipes in town busted causing major flooding and shutting down of some roads.

See your band doc first, tell him the symptoms & your concernes, if they just think you need an unfill (which from the sounds of it, may be something more--although it could just be too tight!), go see your General Practitioner for a 2nd opinion.

I miss tuna salad! I have a whole pantry full of the bags & cans of tuna.. it's a high mercury food, and since I crave fish and eat it a couple times a week I didn't want to waste 1x a month fish of just tuna. My doc said since I want to eat seafood I need to avoid it. Poo. Tuna salad wrapped in a dark green lettuce leaf.. mmm. It's lunch time here lol. I had 1/4c of coffee & water so far. Been listening to my fav. band and wishing they would come on tour near me. Incubus & Third Eye Blind my favs.. we saw Incubus (their music that I like--I really like, but their older stuff is eh to me).. but TEB, I have liked every single song they have ever made.. I'd love to see them in concert, but nooo they never come over to this side of the country Not sure why this was on my mind today. In my game that I run a clothing store, I was commissioned to make a custom mens' outfit for someone.. I normally do custom outfits for him throughout the year, but I have not felt the urge to do anything for my store in months!!! So I told him up front I haven't been around lately and it could take me a month (normally I can put out an outfit in 1 night). So this weekend I sat down to design and I just couldn't get into it.. so I still haven't started. Not sure what happened, the shop is doing good and I'm making money from already made outfits, but no mojo to make anything new for a while now. Russ just called me by my full name, time to go to lunch lol.

Yesterday I painted & did the nursery..I over did myself, and my back was aching--and I was exhausted so I took a mid-day nap. Woke up and back felt better. Went to bed again around 10pm and at 2am I woke up with some cramping and baby was kicking like crazy. I self medicated, something I do for PMS cramps (orgasm!), and it did go away after a few minutes..and he finally stopped with the constant kicking and I went back to sleep. He did his normal kicking this morning, so I assume he's fine.. but last night I kept thinking.. what is he so upset about, is he hurt, etc?? Is it unusual for baby to be kicking up a storm in the middle of the night, that I'm not use to..? Maybe because he's getting bigger I just feel more of them? :/

I immediately was super tight & needed an unfill. He only took .5cc out. Beyond that, he wanted to see me once a month during the pregnancy (I am his first pregnant bander), and I would have gone had he not been so far away. It's a 3 hour drive (each way), so I didn't want to spend 6 hours every month just going and letting him see how I'm doing with my pregnancy. I also only have 2 free appointments left, so I am saving 1 for when the baby is born and I get filled back up. I don't think it's necessary to have the band doc involved, but if my doc was local I would have probably gone to see him every other month.

Terry is right, poor Wayne will get scared off having to deal with drama that isn't even his relationship, when he's just starting a relationship with you. Don't let the closing drama happen around Wayne & don't let him get pulled into it! Cry to your V's, not to your new beau. And again like Terry said, tell Kev to shove it. Know it hurts but the world is full of fish in the sea that will treat you like you deserve!!!
