Jen, do you watch Justified then too? We liked HBO's Deadwood too -- he was sexy in that one too. Of course, I still remember him from way back when, when he was in the movie "Go!" It kills DH to know how much he gives his ex, have an idea how much she makes, yet see his kids in dirty clothes...

And a plus on the relationship side: DH must have heard the frustration in my voice. I came home to a lovely bouquet of flowers last night :) We watched a couple episodes of Justified too (love that show -- Timothy Olyphant is so cute!).

Jen, yippee on the pool!! You guys did that so fast -- you're going to enjoy that investment every day :) Lisa, it's funny, but I sometimes find myself bored even though I'm so busy with the kids! I think it's the monotony that gets boring...? We pay CS plus pay for most of their...

I'm good at laundry and making grilled cheese sandwiches LOL My background is marketing and business development for architecture and engineering firms. I am better with verbal and written communication than with math and science. I had considered a degree in nutrition because of my...

Jen, I think he has allergies. Annoying? Yes. But come on!! Nope, he wasn't in the ER. He's not a big fan of doctors. He's an ice hockey player -- in high school he played with 2 broken ribs instead of going to the doctor. Drew napped for 10 minutes, after being up last night at 1:15...

Christine, we don't have allergies either (thankfully). Drew likes avocados, but I haven't tried guacamole yet. Sorry to hear DH is moody. Mine has been feeling sick for weeks now, and it's getting old for him (and for me, since I keep getting all overnight duty so that he can sleep). I know...

Jen, I had the same problem in 2008. DH was adamant he didn't want more kids, but he just wouldn't leave me alone -- and BAM! here's Andrew!! LOL I'm starting to give serious thought to what I want to do when I return to work. But I don't know what I want to be when I grow up this time! I...

I'm glad today's thread is short so far, as it gave me time to catch up on the rest of last week's :) Melanie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. The whole situation is devastating. I'm also sorry to hear of Jory's troubles; hopefully, this will be all he needs to "straighten up." I'll...

There's a kinship in this group -- we're not much for flowers here either! I used to get them more frequently (like a few times a year), but now? Not so much. I get workout clothes though -- and books -- and a weight vest! Vaseline? On the feet? Oh, yuck! Melanie, I've never tried...

Melanie hasn't been talking about her need to go to the bathroom either!! DH comes home TODAY. I am losing my mind. 6 days and 5 nights alone with my own kids is too much for me :p

Woo hoo on the tux for Jory! Hard to believe these little baby boys grow into 6' boys in 16 short years, right?! When is his prom? What's his plan for the night -- dinner, after-prom parties? I forgot to mention the Biggest Loser! Anyone watch this week? SunShine's makeover outfit looked...

Thanks for fixing your FB, Jen -- love the pics! You look amazing -- you've worked so hard to get your body back and it shows :) Melanie, glad you have NEXT week's work schedule to look forward to. At least for this week, you have the CDs from Christine to keep you company in the car. You...

Christine, I started reading Master Your Metabolism. So far, so good! Also reading Tom Venuto's Body Fat Solution; great book. Anyone have big plans for Mother's Day? We're going to my parents' for brunch, then to DH's parents' for the last half of their BBQ. I would kind of like to stay...

Hi, guys!! I have barely been online -- too hectic -- stepkids over the weekend, then DH left on Sunday for a week-long conference. My mom came over on Monday and just left today. So now I can actually reply :) I met DH 10 years ago today :) Our 6 year anniversary is next weekend (5/15)...

Thanks for the bread recipe, Melanie. Is it sad or scary that I have all the ingredients except the soy and millet flours? Wonder if I could sub quinoa flour, spelt flour, or brown rice flour -- I have all those! Priscilla, I love the Marriage Ref!

Hi, gang! Just a quick pop in before we head out to run errands today. Susan, in reading the reviews for the lentil cookies, someone said she subbed canola oil for the butter and it worked well. So give it a shot! Lentil cookies sound crazy -- but I'm going to try them too :) Priscilla...

So for those doing Insanity, am I the only one thinking there is something between Shaun and Tonya? He goes to her A LOT! LOL Jen, can do on the cookbook. Do you have Ellie Krieger's Food You Crave? It's a GREAT cookbook -- healthy, easy to use, lots of veggies. What kind of cookbooks do...

I haven't worked out in 5 days (ack!), so tortured myself with Shaun T -- Cardio Power + Resistance. Whew! I'm sweating like it's 95 degrees inside the house LOL Drew was up at 7, and Mr. Fussy Pants for the morning. I threw in the towel at 11 and we went to Costco. I had put on my...

I definitely think there's more to healing than medicine. Not a physicist, just opinionated LOL I volunteer with a nonprofit that believes this too. We place original, donated artwork in hospitals and medical centers for patient rooms, to facilitate the healing process. If you find the...

This salad was amazing. I never would have tried it, so I'm glad someone brought it. It was a wonderful mix of flavors, and very refreshing. It sounds strange, but it really rocks! STRAWBERRY-KIWI SALAD WITH BASIL Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup) 1/4 cup half-and-half...
