Good morning ladies! So glad it's the weekend!!

Regarding the horrible MIL situation... The basic jist of the story is that she continues to be upset with the bedroom that she has been given in the house that we rented, and the more we stand our ground, the louder and crazier she gets. She even went so far as to leave me a nasty voice mail message, then followed that up with ELEVEN nasty e-mails.

When Chris intervened, she broke down and went into this long rant about how depressed she is and thinks about killing herself, etc. It has been AWFUL....

We have scheduled an appt with the person we saw for pre-marital counseling for Monday afternoon. We feel we need to opinion of an objective third party. After that, we will make a decision as to how to handle this. Until then, we have vowed not to talk about this situation at all.

On a brighter note, I am getting ready to head to my bridal shower. That f'ing lady better not show her face there!

Post some pictures later, PROMISE!
 
Good morning everyone!

Well in case I wanted to rest this weekend, DH has scheduled us to do stuff. I really just want to lay on the couch, but since we haven't really done much unless we had to, I owe him. Tonight is date night and we are going to see Ironman. Tomorrow is wine in the woods if it doesn't rain.

Katie - {{{{{{HUGS}}}}} You are going through a really difficult situation so close to your wedding. Good plan to see the marriage counselor maybe MIL needs some professional help too.
Kate - thanks for the feel better vibes. I am just run down and need some time to rest.

bbl for personals!
 
Hi ladies,

Yes I'm working. Just waiting for the mail carriers to return.
Last night I went with 3 of my girlfriends for dinner and laughed so hard. I did not eat clean though. I had fried fish and french fries. But I was pretty good the rest of the day.

Tonight I have lots of baking to do. Tomorrow is the MS walk and then our team is having a picnic. I am making choc chip cookies, chocolate pb chip cookies, brownies with and without walnuts.

menu today:
b-bagel w. cc and coffee
l-california rolls
d-??? (batter)}(

Katie (((HUGS))) Enjoy your shower. I hope the counselor can give you guys good advice.
Kate (((HUGS))) Deep breaths. It will be okay.
Colleen enjoy your date night.
Shirl I will have to try that premix you thought of, I like Circuit Zone.

Hi Robin and Steph

Jenn
 
Kate - sorry about the cake - can you use frosting to glue it back together
Shirl - thanks for the mix for CircuitZone. I will try that next time I do the workout
Katie - how was your shower? I hope you got a lot of nice gifts.
Jenn - batter for dinner - yummy. Maybe you can add a salad so you don't feel as guilty.

Getting ready to head off to the movies for date night. I did muscle max this morning and for the first time in a few weeks I actually felt refreshed after my workout. I hope I feel that way after MIC tomorrow.

Colleen
 
Kate, (((HUGS))) I'm sorry the cake fell apart. Were you able to salvage it with frosting? I sure hope so. I forgot you were celebrating Isabel's bday today. Give your baby bday hugs a few days early from me. :)

Jenn, Unclean meals don't count when you're having a good time with friends and laughing is a good core workout. ;) Oh, I loved your take on my meal the other night. :D Have fun baking and at the MS walk. The premix takes about 80 minutes....I think. Try not to eat too much batter. I'm baking now too. Lemon cake and chocolate pb cupcakes. I only had 1 lick. Yeah me! :)

A friend in fitness,
Shirl
 
Hi Colleen! :) Have fun tonight! Great job with the MM! I love MIC, brings back lots of good memories for me. I need to pull that one out soon. Hope you're refreshed after it tomorrow.

Not that I am looking for a job but I just received an email that Edy's is looking for a quality engineer. Wonder how many batches of ice cream you would need to sample?
 
Hey ladies, my shower was wonderful!! Wonderful company and lots of great presents!!

My friend took a few pictures on my camera, and I have uploaded those to our website. Go to http://www.katieandchrisforever.wedquarters.com/Welcome.wq , then click on "Photo Gallery" to view the pictures.

But here is one that I took especially for you all...;)

(please disregard the weird look on my face, and my bizarrely dressed child, thanks!)
 
Katie, you rock!! This is one of the best bridal shower pics ever! Colin as bootcamp instructor really adds to it :)
Damn MIL, she'll get over herself when the wedding is over. Its obviously not the room that's upsetting, its something else, maybe she should be asked?

Kate, i knew Barbie would have to lose it one day, she was just too perfect you know :)

Colleen, I love the chiro! Sounds like you're having a great day, great workout, movie!

Shirl, your lunch sounds amazing! I'm drooling

Jenn, i'm coming over, your baking sounds amazing. I bet your tired by now too.

Robin, did i miss you? Where are ya?

Well, Christian left today. I dont know how permanent it will be, he was crying, asking if i thought it was too late, over etc. I marched my ass to hair dresser and cut all of my hair off!!!! I'm in shock, but i look 12 years old. I had hair down my back, now its razored behind my neck. I called it a 'breakover' day.
Today, workout, PUB and original BC
Menu: well, i'll post it, but it wasnt great

B: egg whites/oats
s: cc/almonds
l: mushroom barley soup, carrots, hummus, egg white whipped with cocoa and banana (new concoction), yogurt
s: honey almonds frozen yogurt, a protein muffin, and some bite sized meringues
d: 3 baked spinach/tofu samosas, a biscotti, apple, and yogurt

I'm going to take the dog out, the pug went with Christian so i'm a single parent...
Katie, kick some ass!
Steph
 
Colleen, Glad you enjoyed MM. I love that one too. Have a fun date tonight! We get one on Friday next week! I can't wait! I haven't done MIC in ages...Can't remember if I liked it. LOL on the Edy's job! Slow-Churned...my fave AND its on sale at the grocery store this week. I resisted!

Shirl, Glad TK was fun. Still wish I could come to your classes. What's the occasion for the baking? Isabel got her hug from you! And a few more. She is so darn squeezable!

Jenn, Do you know someone with MS? My mom has it. She got diagnosed about 5 years ago and has gone downhill pretty quick. She's on sterroids a lot and doesn't do much to help herself. IT's hard to watch her sometimes. Your dinner sounds great! That's a good thing about pregnancy - I *can't* eat the batter - but I wish I could! Oh well - saves me a LOT of cals! Glad you had a fun girls night out.

Katie, Check out those guns, you foxy mama!! And Collin is too cute. IF you think THAT is dressed wierd, you should see my girls!! They RULE the mismatched kingdom! So what did you get? Lots of stuff off the registry I hope! The pics look like everyone had fun. Was MIL there? Your long silky hair is so pretty. Mine's half gray and looks like witch hair! My hair lady is after me to color it but I can't bring myself to do it!

Steph, ((hugs)). Sounds like he does not really want to leave and you called his bluff. WOW on the haircut! Any remorse? I've had long hair since high school and can't imagine doing anything else with it. You remind me of the scene from Legends of the Fall (an all-time fave of mine!), but just don't end it the way she did! Those dogs are going to miss each other. Christian will come crawling back soon. Sending you lots of strength vibes for all that lies ahead. Awesome workout - wow! Taking out some frustration?

My day has been non-stop. After lunch I did LIC upper-body premix. I shouldn't have taken the time in the middle of the day. I had so much to do but I knew I'd be too tired tonight. So I ran around like a hooligan all afternoon making food (completely from-scratch meatballs and marinara! A labor of love for sure!) (ooh - baby just kicked!), cleaning up, etc. And of course the ONLY time I'm not ready guests come early. I was able to patch the cake together. It looked nice but not what I wanted it to be. (another kick!) We picked up a back-up cake in case Barbie didn't make it in time for the party. She waited to fall completely apart until after we sang to Isabel! thank you , cake gods! considering the baking and food that was around today I did AWESOME!

Sunday will be very quiet. After church we are coming home and staying home. Need a day to unwind - we ALL do. But I will sneak downstairs and get a workout in. I have a lot of B&G stickers left - maybe I should do that one! Yowch!

See ya!
 
I only ate a little batter. It could have been worse. x(

Kate, I know several people with MS. My best friend her Aunt has it, and is doing well, also this last year our team capitans husband was diagnosed with it. He is also doing well. We raised several thousand dollars as a group. Last year we made the local news. Maybe we will again this year. We are pretty big team, about 20 adults + children.

Sorry about your mom, I hope someday they find a cure.

STeph I bet your hair looks Awesome.

Colleen how was date night? How do you get job as a quality engineer?

Robin hope your weekend is going well.

Hi Shirl.

Happy Birthday dear Isabel, Happy Birthday to you!!!

And I forgot to say Nice Guns Katie!!!

Jenn
 
Katie, Love the picture! Nice guns and Collin is an adorable drill sargent. Happy your shower went well.

Kate, I'm sorry about your Mom. I'm sure it is difficult to watch your Mom decline. The kids and I were baking for my bday tomorrow.

Steph, (((HUGS))) It sounds like you worked out some frustration today. I bet you look great with short hair. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better.

Jenn, You go girl! Raising money for a good cause! Have a great day!

Hi Robin, hope your weekend is going well.

Well, I better get to bed. DH said he'd exercise with me tomorrow before church. We're going to do a circuit workout.

A friend in fitness,
Shirl
 
Jenn, Good job on the portion-control!! Sorry so many you know are touched by MS - its a wicked thing for sure.

***************Shirl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **********************
I know you said you weren't going to meet your goal, but look how much closer you are to it. THAT is something to celebrate!
Hope you and DH have a good WO together! Ooh, That could be taken 2 ways!;-)

I started listening to my HypnoBirthing CD lastnight. I fell asleep ASAP - guess it worked!
 
My day has not started off so clean. Had a few bites of leftover bday cake as I was making breakfast. I threw out all the rest. Breakfast was a small bowl of Smart Start and a banana. Rest of the day will be better.

Mike isn't feeling well so its just the girls and I out to church this AM. He's laying in bed - why don't I get this treatment when I'm sick?!?!:)

Have a good day!
 
Morning clean and tidy peeps!!

Looks like a quiet Sunday, i think that's the way they were supposed to be. I got up early, walked the dog, went to the grocery store (on the subway!), cleaned my drawers out, worked on the exams for the students...did CS, do you think i'm trying to keep busy :)

Jenn: All the best today, its so sad you know so many with MS. I have a close friend who's father has it as well.

Shirl: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Enjoy, Enjoy.

Kate, Maybe you'll fall asleep during labour?? Wouldnt that be nice.

Menu today, not too sure, had my egg whites this morning. Coffee at the store. Its raining here.
My girlfriends are taking me out tonight, i know i'll have a few drinks :)
BBL
Steph
 
Steph, Maybe the hardest thing about having Christian gone will be the transport issue! Do you ever think about getting a license? It would be IMPOSSIBLE where I live. Wish we didn't have to drive so much though. Sleeping thru labor sounds great to me! Have a nice time tonight. Hope you have a good day.

Katie, What's the lastest with FMILD?
