REBECCA

Wow Ann I just read this wholllllle thread! Wow? I personally agree to keep her on the ground. She is still young and it would be nice to have medical care available (on the ground) should you need it. Plus all the germs, etc. I think the RV option is the best if you can find a one way company? Good luck hunny! Hopefully little Gwen will be in her bassinet own very soon!!

Congrats Ann! OMG she is so beautiful, I mean really beautiful. She looks like a little girl! I am so happy you guys are doing well and Gwendolyn is healthy, what a little fighter!

YAY Tammy. That is so great to hear. I'm glad she is doing well!

Oh Tammy, I am so sorry She is soo adorable. The new owners look really nice and very happy to have her. I'm sure she will receive a lot of love from them.

LOL! Wow I thought this post was LONG gone!

Great place Drea! Soo cute!! And Trish, love your place too!! It's huge!! yeah, there is a huge difference in what you can get in CA vs, well pretty much anywhere else!

I'm In. Ann I just PM'd you!

I have found that if you do it in photobucket, you can play with the “Upload Size†(it says: "max image size: 640 x 480 (options)" If you click "options" and change the size to 800x600. Then instead of clicking on the image code, put a check mark in the box next to the photo and scroll all the way down to the bottom and click “generate HTML†Then it will open up and you can preview different sizes. If it is not the right size, go back to the drawing board and try and upload it in a bigger or smaller size, and check it again. I have spent so long trying to resize it before, it might take a while if you have the patience

We fed everyone and let them take an hour out of their work day to come join in the festivities. We also did a drawing, it was really fun.

OMG, it took me so long to figure that out too. I am clueless most of time with figuring out the technical stuff!

OMG this is hard. Who am I? I don't know anymore. When I think of hobbies, al lthat pops in my head are charts and thermometers. This is bad...really BAD. I need a hobby!!! Okay, I'll think of something....

They are BAAAD, but so GOOOOD!!! If you are dieting, but want to drink, order vokda & soda water with two limes. If you want it a litle sweeter, do a splash of 7-up or sprite in it. It is only 110 calories pers drink and you will have a good buzz after a couple. Another good idea is Absolut Mandarian & Soda water. OMG...tastes like an orange soda, but with a kick

I hear you! I lost 20 lbs for the wedding (thank goodness) and gain it all back in the year after my wedding. What frustrates me is I know I can do it bcz I have. I did Weight Watchers. It is nice bcz you have flexibility. I have a ton of recipes, but here are some tips and suggestions: 1) Measure portions ~ whatever you eat, look at the serving size, measure it out and only eat that much. 2) Sugarfree Mint flavored Gum ~ Whenever you want to snack (but aren't hungry) put a piece of mint gum in your mouth. Also, after you eat dinner, to keep from going back for seconds, pop a piece of gum in your mouth. It takes away the flavor of the food you were eating. If you don't have gum, go brush your teeth. I promise you, you won't want to eat more if you do this. 3) Drink lots of water~ Someone once told me that if you get hunger pains, drink an entire glass of water. If you are still hungry then you need to eat, but most of the time you will find that the hunger pains were really thirst. 4) make a big salad with every meal ~ On weight watchers a salad is 0 points. Put one table spoon of feta and one tablespoon of dried cranberries (1/2 point each). For salad dressing, get the Wishbone Salad Spritzers. OMG SOO good and only 10 calories a squirt. I particularly like the Balsalmic Vinegar. But the Asian flavor is good too for a change! 5) Count Calories ~ If you don't want to do WW just count your Calories. Write everything you put in your mouth down. If you write it, then all of a sudden you're accountable. You'd be surprised that you'll think twice before putting it in your mouth. Start with 1200 calories a day with excercise (30 min of cardio 3 -4 days a week). I have a good Lowfat pizza recipe for that pizza fix. Bcz Pizza is my weakness! YUMMY LOW CALORIE PIZZA Western Alternative Pita (or other 110 calorie or less pita) Any type of pizza sauce Turkey Italian sausage Fresh garlic Mushrooms, chopped 2% milk/part skim mozzerella cheese cook 2 turkey suasages, casing removed Remove from pan Sautee mushrooms and garlic (you can add onion too) for around 3 - 4 minutes Spread each pita with a tablespoon of sauce, 1/4 of the sausage and mushrooms mixture and 1/4 c of cheese (or whatever is one serving). make 4 mini pizzas. Bake at 450 for around 12 minutes Eat one pizza with a big salad and have a piece of mint gum ready for when you finish so you don't eat another one!

Oh Melissa your house is so pretty and fresh! I love the living room rug and the wood floors. Did you get that rug at Pier One? LOL all I can picture while looking at your house is DH's cousins trashing it over Christmas! Sorry! Quote: Originally Posted by MsShelley ha ha a spa? is that good or bad.

Very warm and homey.

Shelley your house looks like a Spa! Even your living room looks like the quiet room in a spa! Oh I am jealous of your bathtub!

Jen, I love the color in your kitchen. There is a nice contrast with the green paint and the white cabinets. Seems really bright! Jess, I too love your kitchen and how open it is into the dining room! I also really like the curtains in the dining room and on the little patio door. I think a giant mirror would look really good over the sofa. I wish I could help you with paint, but I have no clue!! Your house looks like it is 3 times the size of mine!! I'm SO jealous!!

It made the dream all the more funny b/c Erica is like the sweetest girl.

Thank goodness I don't see him often so I don't have to look at that face....dreams are weird! Eww weird?!? I would feel nasty if I dreamt about my boss that way too Eeewww? I have had dreams like that about coworkers. And then when you come in to work you see them and feel like you have this big secret!! ha ha Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah omg that is hilarious!

Dreams are sooo wierd. My strangest, yet most vivid dream, was a couple months ago. I dreamed that Jeff & I were driving somewhere and he turns to me and says "I'm Jake Gyllenhaal". Really matter-of-factly. I was like "WHat? You can't be Jacke Gyllenhaal? You're Jeff?" And he says "Yes, isn't it a good cover up? I've finally found a way to get the paparrazzi to leave me alone." So then I said "Well what about your sister Maggie" and he says "She's disguised as Christal" (Jeff's sister). It was sooooo strange and really vivid. We went on to go to all these hollywood parties where I met a bunch of famous people... wierd. That is hilarious Sarah. Well in my dream it was funny, I was meeting you in person for the first time. And you were so calm about dating him and you two were like night and day. Then I found out he was dating my girfriend Lisa too (she is also married and just had a baby in real life) so I was like...I'm stayin out of this one. Butthe two of you seemed fine sharing...

OMG, Sarah in my Dream you were not married and dating Snoop-Dog ROTFL But you dumped him in the end bcz he was too wild going around hooking up with other women. LOL! Dreams are so FUNNY sometimes!

I wonder what it would feel like to have a hallway...LOL j/k Jess, post pics! What type of shades did you purchase for your windows. I'm thinking of getting cellular shades for my slider...

Tammy, you place is so cute! Very warm and cozy looking!

Thanks! Like I said it is so SMALL but with the high ceilings and windows, it doesn't really feel as small.

Okay, here is the view from the kitchen looking toward the staircase (behind the wicker chair). and here is another one so you can see my ceiling fan that we just LOVE. It is HUGE!
