no texts here. waiting anxiously, LOL...

okay, i'm going home now... Gonna fight this ugly traffic. I'm going to pop a king ranch chicken casserole in the oven and snuggle in front of the fire with a movie. Stay warm everyone!

oh but it's so much more fun to get schnokered with your friends than to just pop a pill!

Terry and TracyK - guess what? it's snowing over here!! I'm on 290 and Beltway 8...

YAY TRACY!! we're so happy for her!!!

I know! Seriously, six years??? wow...

tracyk - i'm hoping to go to my GP sometime next week. It's so hard to get an appointment this time of year and my schedule is also crazy. But I need to get on them... I've been contemplating for awhile now and weighed the pros and cons and I just feel like if it's going to help me then I might as well go for it. I just didn't want to get addicted, you know? And I always want to beat myself up about it, like, why can't I just get out of this slump on my own. or why can't I get down to the root of what makes me emotional and so freaking sensitive and change that?

tracyks - TWO 30oz of water already! I am doing so so bad on my water intake... I struggle with it every day! Laura - heard one of her songs this morning on the radio and I thought that too! I forgot how much I like her! I have two of her CD's that I hardly ever play anymore, I'll have to dig them out...

Too cute Pam! Love love love kids at that age. The ideas that are tumbling around in their heads! Judy, your pics look so magical! I remember the first time I saw huge piles of snow like that. My parents had taken us skiing at Breckenridge and we went on this tour through the woods with snowmobiles. I had to ask our guide to pull over so that we could all just jump on these massive piles of snow. We were all grown up but we acted like we were two years old. Rolling around in it, my dad included. Such fun! Laura - your tables look awesome in your living room! I've been looking for new tables for awhile now. Hoping to find some on craigslist. I've been so patient, waited almost a year and nothing. Luckily the tables I have right now are gorgeous and functional but I just don't feel like they feel right in that room. But alas, don't want to pay full price! Oh my gosh, the bump is so cute! Not a basketball belly but who cares! As long as baby Carson is growing and protected in there... Did you post those pics like how you showed me the other day? Why am I so computer illiterate?? TracyK - WHOO HOO! That is awesome about the van!! Isn't it so true that the more money you have or have access to, the cheaper things are to get? Sad but true! But I'm so happy for you! In Houston it's really impossible not to have two vehicles in a family. Terry - did you take the day off today? It was so so nasty outside this morning. My 30 min commute turned into an hour twenty minutes! Yuck. I was so super late to work. Thought about throwing in the towel and calling in but I was halfway here and just thought, what the heck. Suzie - Did you finally get around to putting up your Christmas stuff? I know you wanted to wait awhile before doing that. My mom always complains each year of how Christmas comes earlier and earlier but each year there she goes dragging all her Christmas stuff out right after Halloween! LOL. She's too funny... Kat - How the heck do you even handle a woman like that? Like Terry said, I would want to just smack her! I seriously have no patience for people like that and it would be impossible for me to hold my mouth! oooohh i would go off on her... let me get this posted before i lose the whole dang thing... my computer has been acting funny all morning...

oh and i've always liked the name Sage for a boy. Weird huh?

We need an updated belly pic Laura! Please try stay on top of these things... hello, the violet aunties have to be along every step of the way...

Tell Russell you want to name your baby Bronx Mogwly or Sunday Rose and I'm sure Claire and Carson will be looking really good to him, LOL

I have two God-daughters. Brianna and Natalie!

Laura - i've done that. offered to help and then that person comes to me everytime it needs to be done now. Learned my lesson! You know, I re-read my post above and had to sit back and think about what I said. I remember being in TIGHT TIGHT size 28 pants and just praying to God to help me just get down to a size 18 because those I could find in regular stores. Here I am now in a size 18 and bitching about it. I've come a long way and I'm not stopping but I seriously need to stop beating myself up about it...

WOW judy. Just WOW... It's a very humid 76 degrees here right now... I'm wearing capris and flip flops since I am working in the warehouse today doing inventory audit. My pot of soup didn't turn out so good last night. I'm not really sure what I did different this time. I was making chicken soup and the broth didn't taste like anything! I put tons of veggies in it, simmered for about an hour. Nothing. Juan only ate it because he was starving. He put jalapeno vinegar in it to make it taste better. EWWWWW. Jenn - a perfect fitting size 14! Wow, that's my next goal here. I've been in these 18's for awhile now... I can fit into 16's but only if I don't want to breathe... Michelle - your Monday sounds just lovely. Seriously, the house and the chores and everything else that needs to be done will always be there waiting for you to come back. I say enjoy your time without feeling any guilt. This is from one guilt laden sister to another, LOL... Pammy - you are one strong cookie! 5am workouts! Eeekkk... How do you do it sister?? What time do you go to bed usually to be able to get up so early? Laura - so since the baby is not letting you sleep does that mean that you feel it kicking all the time now?? TracyK - seriously, tell me what you're on woman! I'm going to my GP next week and I want to talk to him about my emotionaliness... is that a word?

drama drama drama drama in my family. seriously so much drama. and it all gets to me, i'm so emotional and so sensitive with it all... moving on now... last night was our company Christmas party. It was so much fun! I was only able to eat a few bites of chicken marsala and I only had one rum and coke. NO CAKE FOR ME!! yay yay... I'm doing really good on limiting my sugar intake. Haven't been able to be completely off... I only did that for about two days but ever since then I've only allowed myself one treat per day and so far I'm doing good... Got my tree up and my lights up and my house is finally CLEAN. Oh my gosh this feeling is wonderful. I am able to sit down with a cup of coffee and surf the web for awhile without feeling guilty because my house is dusty or I have a pile of laundry to do... We worked so hard this weekend to get the house in shape. Hopefully this lasts more than two days! Ima go check on my soup... be right back

silly tracy, please tell me what happy pills you are on, i need them desperately! man, your mom is so lucky! I remember being a new bandster and just watching the scale move every single mother loving day. i was in heaven....

Go get 'im Pam! LOL... that's a good way to vent TracyK - don't worry too much about seeing your friend again...We are usually harder on ourselves than anyone else will ever be. You look just as gorgeous as ever... And also the fact that you successfully quit smoking will overshadow whatever extra pounds she sees on you!

ahh i see. ok. i'll try again tomorrow... i'm getting ready to leave, ya'll have a good evening!!

dah! i'm so computer illiterate!!!

thanks laura! let me try it... tree.bmp

actually i didn't know that? I've cut out sweets before but usually only last a few days. I hope that it works for me. I am a major sugar addict. MAJOR...

Laura - those are soooo cute! I've been looking and looking for a coffee table and a side table for my living room. I'm waiting for them to come up on craigslist. That's how I've furnished most of my current house. I'm gonna be patient and keep waiting. Hey, how do you embed your pictures in your message? I always have to attach mine and I don't like that.... I want it to be in the body of the message. Oh and my house stays dusty too. I dust once a week. Is that too few in between dustings? I remember when I was younger at my mom's house we would dust once a week and it was fine. Now I dust and just a few days later I see dust on my mantle, dust on my TV credenza... Yuck. I hate that...
