That's a lot easier than what I've been doing Pam!! I have a fake pumpkin, that carves/looks like a real pumpkin--but you can use it every year. I started carving last night, never done this before. My hand has several blisters and after several hours I am only halfway through. WHEW. If only it were as easy as this website :sad_smile:

I'm going to be an Athenian person. Got a black toga looking thing, stripper heels that lace up the legs, and a coin necklace. TA-DA. Ok seriously, I am out of control. In the past week, I have eaten AT LEAST 3 candy bars a day. Full sized, candy bars. And at least 1 coke. What the heck is wrong with me? I am so mad at myself. But then I don't stop?! I'm wrecklessly binging.

It's been cold enough for sweater lately, 50-60's during the day. Just found out we have to go through 100,000 books (that go in software game boxes), because some idiot let 1/20 (approximately) get messed up in the machine.. and the customer needs us to count and let them know how many are correct. So that's what I'll be doing all day.. going through boxes and checking out books. Perks of my job. And Macy is adorable

Ejm- I forget how long you've been at this in general, but even if you do everything right, it can still take a while! The ultimate light at the end of the tunnel, is that if all else fails with your reproductive system, there's a ton of babies that would love to be adopted We plan to have 2 kids, I wanted to experience pregnancy, but for the 2nd we plan to adopt. And whenever I think about the actual birthing part I get anxious and sort of wish I'd just decided to do 2x adoptions!

The ringworm? It is ringworm, he says.. he gave me ointments to put on it. Nothing else to say about it hehe.. and my arm is bruised from the flu shot! Having 4oz milk, applesauce, and a cheese snack for b'fast. The pumpkin bisque was really interesting. My friend can't add spices and like I said, she uses coconut oil/milk.. well, as I cooked (and tasted) it was so completely bland with the spices she said to use. So I added garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt & pepper, and some extra red pepper flakes. Was still pretty blah. By time I finished cooking it, I wasn't impressed. Had a small bowl just to give it a try, and it kind of grew on me, but I don't plan on making it again. But I covered it and left it on the stove for a few hours. Went back to put it in the fridge--took a bite. It was really good! It's like the flavor just took a few hours to release??? Was very bizarre. I wrote down that recipe too Terry, I love soups! I don't like soups with potatoes in them ..blech. My granny made some soup with keilbasa & corn chowder base.. it was awesome. I keep meaning to get that recipe too. I ended up FFWDing through the first hour of Brokeback Mountain. The 2nd hour was a pretty good movie, that was sad. The first hour though, jeez.. hardly any dialogue. 2 hicks on a mountain, herd sheep, don't like beans, 'love' each other, repeat..for an HOUR.

You don't poop/diarhea/pee in your underwear.. or I don't anyway :grouphug:

Woops, I missed it! Still smoke free, but missing it more lately. Today ended up being such a day, I want one SO BAD. Watching Brokeback Mountain, wow.. zzzzzzzzzz. I had to get on the laptop to keep from falling asleep. I wanted to see it (besides the reviews I've heard) cause I think both guys are hot.. having a hard time watching them be rednecks.. course, I do know they will be gay at some point. Does it pick up Pam???? My friend who is allergic to almost every food (I told ya'll bout her), she has to do the paleolithic diet basically, minus some foods they could have.. anyway she sent me a recipe for a pumpkin soup. She can't use butter or milks/creams.. so she used coconut oil & coconut milk, but it sounds really good.. broth, pumpkin puree, onions and spices.. simmer 30m then add cream/milk. I'm about to go make that for dinner.

That's weird Kat, one of my sister's dogs do the same thing. It uses the bathroom in the house, so she keeps it outside mostly.. but it poops on the concrete!! A huge yard, and it chooses the concrete. Got back from the doc, been a hectic day already. I had an important conference call at noon, and my doc was running 45 minutes behind and I had 5 minutes to get across town for this call ugh.. then listening to 4 different companies talk about this project and blah blah. I got my flu shot, and it was easy peasey, but now it's aching :biggrin: I asked her if I should get it in my butt, she said no.. now I wish she'd just have done that. Oh and they said it is ringworm. Lovely. He found another patch I didn't see.

Welcome back Judy! Glad you're feeling better Tracy! About to head to the doc, just wanted to let ya'll know I had a dream about you last night!! We were having our bandiversary bash in Gatlinburg! And some reason on day 2, I had to drive all the way back home for a doc appt.. and then the next day, I was too tired to drive all the way back, so I was texting ya'll in mass texts lol.

I think I know what you're talking about Kat, I found that earlier when I was googling.. I don't remember the name now but the big round one was called the 'herald' spot, and then smaller ones formed all over after that one formed. It doesn't itch or bother me, and I know one of my cats was diagnosed with ringworm 2 years ago but it went away without meds so I let it go--even though I know it won't go away, cats can just carry it without symptoms. Just surprised it would affect me now. Russell saw it when I was changing last night, so I have no idea how long it's been there. I am going to my doc tomorrow for the flu shot, so I'll have him check it out while I'm there... but like I said, it doesn't itch so I'd be surprised if it was ring worm.

Same here, being 'surprised' isn't an option. DH and I have already been fighting about this. He does NOT want to know, he wants the excitement of finding out when it's born.. mmk, but I will be excited when I find out in December. We don't see eye-to-eye, but I told him I respect his decision not to know-- but I AM finding out. He keeps begging me to wait, I don't know why he cares what I do if I don't tell him. Because of him though, I can only tell a small handful of people so it doesn't accidentally get out. He doesn't care about decor, I already picked out a boy & girl set.. so when I find out, I will order whichever set and in my last month I will decorate the room and keep the door closed so he doesn't know. I want to know nooowwwwww. :tongue2: I'm scared the girl set won't be available by time I find out, and I am so in love with it. In fact, I'll be a bit disappointed it's not a girl if it's a boy, simply because I want to order this set. :crying: :biggrin:

Because of my due date and the time they believe I conceived, it means I conceived on our 1 year anniversary in Jamaica. I was pretty hammered that whole time (so maybe there is something to getting drunk=fertile :tongue2: ) and I was on boat rides, jumping off cliffs, flying, scuba diving, dancing, eating all kinds of exotic and potentially dangerous food lol. My baby implanted despite all that.. what doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger??

Disposable.. cause I'm not hand washing diapers.. not my thang.

Did I mention I have a round rash on my back, that looks like ringworm?

I 2nd that, time for the doc Tracy, you've been sick a while!! What did you get a ticket for Jane? More color in my family, my bro's gf came by to ask me to talk my brother into staying in college. Apparently he wants to drop out, because he isn't passing classes... he isn't passing classes, because he won't GO to class. She somehow thinks I have pull.. she said "You know how to influence him" (She really IS bad on drugs). I pointed out.. if I had any influence, he would never have become a druggie, wouldn't have had to go to rehab and bootcamp several times before turning 18, wouldn't have had a kid at 18 and dropped out of high school.. he wouldn't have waited till he was 26 to start college, then use it as a never-ending excuse not to work, even tho he doesn't go to class, and now.. still not working, and wanting to stop school. Taste the rainbow!!

Don't I?? :biggrin:

I am feeling much better with my back! It only aches slightly when I bend, but nothing even worth mentioning. The Mrs. Pettigrew, I'm not sure.. I just saw it on amazon.com for movie downloads. It's set in the 30's in London, it's a dark comedy..came out in 2008. I'm shocked about PF Chang's, I even looked around wondering how anyone could eat there!! Maybe my taste buds are weird! I went home and had a chili cheese dog with lots of onions. Gold goes up & down all the time, I sold a gold coin right after our wedding.. 1 troy oz was $860 then. The only reason I know anything about this stuff is because of my alzheimer/dementia granny. Her partner/room mate guy died last year and he had brain tumors and thought all these crazy conspiracies (he thought the cartoon Pinkie & The Brain was a sign from the government about their plans). Anyway, he didn't trust banks so he invested all of his money in gold & silver.. and then hid it all over the yard, in walls, etc. So when he died we did a treasure hunt. Found over 100k in gold coins, and I don't think we even found it all. So now my granny-- who took over his paranoia and is afraid of banks.. hauls around huge bags of gold--that she can't pick up... from pawn shop to pawn shop to get quotes.. and then she obsessed with the ticker on the TV that shows gold prices. She will call at random times to ask "Should I sell now?".. yet she's never sold a single piece since she came into all this gold. I am certain one of these days she is going to get mugged walking out of the pawnshops with her big bags.

Tracy uhm.. my first thought, don't go to a pawnshop. They rip people off in general, that's not where I'd take my jewelry. $10 for any weight in gold doesn't sound right, but pennyweight is not a term I am familiar with.

Morning V's, and happy day-late b'day Haydee!! What are you, 21 now??? We went to PF Chang's for my brother's birthday last night. I have never been there, and I like chinese, but apparently I do not like 'gourmet' chinese. Ugh the food was horrible. Reminded me of Phuket, some fancy Thai restaurant we have.. not sure if that's a chain? I know PF Chang's is a chain. It was all family style, we all got something different. I ordered something familiar-- sweet & sour pork. It was GROSS. I don't know how, but even the spinach & asparagus was nasty. Russell is allergic to seafood & peanuts.. and they cook everything in peanut oil. So his dish (and his dish only) they didn't cook in peanut oil, but he could not share anyone else's family dish--even the fried rice. He felt left out, despite the fact that I told him.. even the fried rice.. was disgusting. I actually had to SPIT IT OUT. Yeah, that bad! My brother & his gf reaked of weed when they came in, and his gf seemed to be on something.. not sure what, she sat next to me and talked 90-to-nothing but slurred and mumbled, but thought she was talking coherently. I just kept nodding and giggling at appropriate times when she laughed. Uhm ok I guess that's it. I laid in bed all day Saturday and watched movies. Mrs. Pettigrew Lives Another Day--surprisingly cute movie. I liked it (I rented it out of desperation, I've seen everything else!). I also rented Brokeback Mountain, which I haven't watched yet.. and Baby Momma which was cute.

Down 40% today.............................

Gah Wheet, I have my flabby pannis.. more things to look forward to then eh? I plan to get a TT, but wanted to wait till post-kids. I can't fathom seeing movements, though I can't fathom feeling movements either. One of my girlfriends said she felt movements at 14 weeks, which I am 6 days from.. so I have been laying in bed real still, holding my breath waiting for something (literally). I'm a goof ball. I just want to feel pregnant.

I wanna go to the beach!!!!! I'm stuck in the office answering phones and quoting people who want 1 poster done (we don't do this). They are so distraught "But if you can't print just 1 poster who will????" "KINKOS". Brought milk, an applesauce cup, and a cheese snack for b'fast. I kept having dreams that it's a boy, but I had a dream last night that it was a girl! She grew up overnight, literally. I really liked that leaf necklace, Judy we need to see pics of you sporting it!! I really liked the asymmetrical-ness.

If you are 5'3, I would most definitely wait till you've lost more weight. You still have quite a high BMI, which does put you at higher risk just for that simple fact.

LOL Tracy, I would write something like that... HH- In 18 months.. I lost 121lbs, stopped having crippling back pain for the most part, got pregnant, (recently) stopped smoking, and gained 10lbs back.

Here have some funnies...
