[jennlin]

good morning! i'm kinda glad i didn't have to see my brother much yesterday (he went to the baseball game with half of seattle, apparently). but bjl got to play with her cousin for a little bit, and then after he left, another friend of mine came over and bjl got to play with her baby, too. so it was fun

going out to eat as a fam today. i think i should sit opposite side of the table as child bride, i don't want to hear her talk. listening to her talk yesterday made me want to shoot myself.

workshop at work, so minimal nexting! (sorry, i feel like i have to explain why i'm gone everyday, haha). have a great day everyone!

Jenn, h was at the game last night too.

I had a low key night last night, which made it so I could work out longer. Nothing too exciting to report from me.

Happy hump day!

Good morning!

I finally went grocery shopping last night, and got stocked up on lots of fruits & veggies. I went to bed pretty early, as I had to be to work at 6am this morning.

Not much on the agenda today. Work, and then home to do laundry and all that fun household stuff!

Good luck at the family dinner, Jennlin! Hopefully child bride is seated as far away from you as possible. Or perhaps BJL will distract you enough that you won't have to listen to her?

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning.

I had a long night. Edmund is teething an has 4 molars breaking through right now. He woke up about the time I finally fell asleep again. So I moved him into bed with me and then got kicked all night because of how he wanted to sleep.

I'm off to work later for another short day at work and then as long as the weather holds we are off to the park with some of Edmund's friends.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! I finally feel like I might be able to drink some water and eat something...

I am working in our Renton office today (no cell service boo!) then have an engagement party for a friend...

I am down 4 pounds from pre-vacation weight, let's hope I can keep it up when I am healthy!

MORNING!!

yesterday was bad for healthy decisions. i ate a cookie, and nuts, and cookie butter, and spicy cheetos, and got drunk, and drank soda. i was not looking forward to a gain this morning but some how i was down. thank GOD! i ate so good all day and then it was over.. lol.

i really want to get to the gym but i'm working until 11 and back in work at 6 tomorrow so i doubt that will happen. i do have a training appt tomorrow and since i don't work tomorrow night, i'm going to get my ass up in the morning and go to the gym *i think*.

anyway, have a great day!

Good Morning. I did pretty good healthy eating wise yesterday. I did have a couple spoons of peanut butter with some chocolate chips, but it was a pretty small amount, so I'm okay with it. I did also eat some of the noodles I made for James and Tman's dinner last night and they were really high in sodium, so that's not too good - again, a small portion, though.

I'm still having a hard time with H. I really don't even know how to talk to him/get past it. Something has to happen, though. I don't know what, but we can't go on like this.

Today, swimming lessons, school supply shopping for Tman, and church tonight.

Good morning!

I'm working on getting back into the routine after two days off to take care of my grandma. She's doing really great and my mom is coming to stay with her today, so back to work for me. Should be a fun day though, I'm hosting an office baby shower for my favorite cw. And since I got put in charge, the food is (mostly) healthy

My eating was not on point the last 2 days and I haven't been to the gym or worked out since my race Sunday. Back on track today. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!

Good morning! I woke up and didn't feel like I wanted to curl up into a ball for the first time since Friday! So refreshing. Tomorrow I might even make it to the gym.

W is WFH today because there is a big office move. So I'm staying home for a couple of hours as well, we're enjoying coffee and playing with the kittens.

Sarack: what was your drink of choice last night?

LL: Yaaaay getting the computer back to working again! That's always a huge relief. I know it sucks to do all that work and know that all you have is ... what you had before. But viruses (virii?) are the pits.

Good morning!
My classroom is FINALLY looking like a place in which children learn and not an episode of hoarders! All of my computers are working, one bulletin board is covered, desks are grouped, rugs are laid, library is organized! Still many, many things to do, but it feels magageable now. I decided I'm not going in today, I just need to take a day away from it. And summer break is running out!

I met my friends this morning for a swim in Lake Washington. It was a bit wavy and choppy this morning, which made the return trip a little hard. I'm going on a bike ride this evening and I might go buy an iPad for my classroom today!

[dawnyp]

The game was packed last night. I guess everybody wanted to see King Felix pitch again (including us). Even though we went to the game we ate before we went so I didn't do too bad in terms on unhealthy eating yesterday.

H is finally feeling healthy again so we are looking at doing a hike on Saturday morning. Now just to decide which one.

[emyinpink]

I'm in a great mood today. And I'm not wearing pants .

[FrozenSunshine]

Ugh. Showed up for my annual today and they say I'm not on the books. I called 3 weeks ago and booked the only appt she said they had available and instantly put it on my calendar and put in a leave request.

They're trying to fit me in, but now I'm missing meetings at work.

Anyhow, I made glazed salmon and wasabi mashed potatoes last night and it was fantastic.

DH and I tried to go see Dark Knight Rises at Cinebarre last night for $5 at 7:00. I bought tickets online. We had no idea it would be so crowded! We got into the theater when the previews were starting and had to sit in the front row. No thanks! So DH found out that it was also playing at Alderwood at 8:50. They gave us free passes for another night at Cinebarre because of our situation. We went up to Alderwood and bought tickets and walked over and got some Starbucks. It was nice to sit and talk with DH. We even go to wander around the mall.
The movie was amazing! I loved all the action! Some of the dialogue was cheesy and Batman's voice drove me nuts and so did Bane's. I loved the Batmobile and Catwoman's motorcycle. Mmmm!

I am going to head into my classroom for some more organizing this afternoon. DH and I are going to go look at more houses with our agent tonight. We are going to go see a Indiana Jones at Movies at Marymoor. Love me some Harrison Ford!

Good morning! The pants I'm wearing today used to be too snug and uncomfortable (and I was thinking of donating them to Goodwill), but now they fit Thank you Challenge ladies for the competition and motivation!

So as a reward to myself, I bought a couple of things from Lilly's Summer Sale this morning!

[karebear219]

Good morning! I have to go to the dentist for a filling today. Boo. H took bkb to babysitter, so I am enjoying breakfast in bed. It feels like such a luxury. I am also starting her baby book (thank you Shutterfly for putting all the pictures in date order! It saved me so much time). I know it is going to take forever to make it. We have over a thousand pictures of her. (I know because I broke the uploader when I was almost done and had to start all over.)

Play date this afternoon. I don't know how I am going to go back to work. After being home with bkb a couple days in a row I almost started crying when she left this morning.

Good mid-morning! I ate fine yesterday until dinner. Work was reallly stressful so when I got home I was just trying to not scream and all I wanted was a cheeseburger and chocolate cake and to start watching Dr. Who. H had to go to the library and picked us up Wendy's so I had a cheeseburger, but limited myself to 1/4-1/3 of the fries from a medium. (I counted fries, 12, but then couldn't find a PER fry calorie count, doh!). But no cake at least? And besides, Wednesday morning is my weekly weigh-in and I managed to still lose weight...and I'm down below my first goal!! WHEEEE!!!! ;D Six weeksish for 5 pounds might be a little slow, but it was a lot less stressful than being more aggressive. Five pounds to my next goal!

Mom is doing really well after the surgery. She was even up and moving around a bit yesterday. Thank heavens this one was much less stressful/intense. I definitely think she'll be out this time in the 3-5 day time frame.

Good morning!

I was going to go to the zoo today, but the girl (a new friend) I was going to go with bailed. Again. This is the second time she's bailed on me. The last time we were going to get together to watch a horror movie, and she decided she wanted to lay out at the pool instead. It seems like she only really wants to do things with me when they're things she wants to do (like shoe shopping). Harrumph, oh well.

So today I get to relax and wrap my head around going back to school.

[BlackCanary]

Good afternoon! My car is making weird grinding noises, so DH dropped me off at work and is at his parent's house working on my car. My ride (MIL) can only pick me up around 4, so a shorter day for me.

So far today seems to be better than yesterday *knocks on wood* Yesterday I managed to lock my keys in my car right before my interview at PetSmart. At least I didn't leave the car running like last time. Sigh. On top of that Abby escaped from the backyard (I'm a sucky puppy mom) and so I had to pick her up from a neighbor's house. Silver lining- she was found by good people and wasn't hit by a car when she crossed the road.
