Xers ***THURSDAY***

Goodness, I need a life. I think I am just procrastinating. I hate laundryx( .

Debra X - ROFLMA!!!!!!!!:7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 How dare you ask Sandra what kind of career she has for her DD????? I fell out of my chair on that one!!! But I can see that you have the Easter spirit all ready. Doing cocktails again tonight? Can I join in????

Lea
 
Lea...You are always welcome to join in on cocktail time...I just finished an almost healthy dinner of sushi...I know, not enough veggies, but great lean protein! And the rice was my only carb of the day...WooHoo! I thought about you last night while I was watching "Lost" and wondered if you were tuning in as well...Good luck on the laundry...There's only 2 of us here...and one of us is only 4 feet tall, so why is it I do laundry ALL THE TIME?

You ladies are cracking me up. Be back in an hour or so after dh and I finish C&B and ARX. He's only doing the legs portion of L&B if he feels up to it. Don't hold your breath.

Now, stop chatting until I get back! Oh, who am I kidding! LOL

Week2 Day1 Chest&Back and ABX DONE! Dh got some sense and decided not to add in the legs. He remembered tomorrow was Plyo. :)

Debra: I needed a cheerleader tonight! Sounds like you've had practice!

Traci-X: Thanks for the article. I'll be reading it tonight after I finish my novel. You're certainly doing well with your eating this time around. As you can see, I need all the help I can get. The chocolate stampede cake was soooo good! I only had 10 bites and put the rest in the take home container for the girls. Shush your mouth! I only take extra cream in my coffee. Where else do you think I get my dairy from? Did you know under my Dunkin Doughnut #1 Customer poster is printed: "NO SUGAR... She's sweet enough!" Well that last part is what dh says when he's in the doghouse. LOL They built a new Sonic about 20 minutes away. I'll have to try it out when I lose 20 more pounds. ;-)

Lea: You're such a good Xer! The last thing I think of when I wake up is working out. But, you know, Tony's not hard on the eyes. Oh, my heart went out to you when I read that you and your dh decided on no more dc. I remember when I was married with my ex we decided the same thing after having 3 ACTIVE boys. I actually mourned over the thought of never having any girls at the time. I can totally understand though. If it's any consolation, my MIL only had three boys, but she has six granddaughters to spoil.

Tracy: How was your MRI. FIL has to get those routinely to check his brain tumor growth. He can't stand lying still. I'm sure it was tough on you too!!! Oh! I know what you mean about food journaling. I wait until the end of the day to write everything down and tally up the calories. I had to measure and write down everything my twins ate for 2 years because they were so tiny. They were born at 24 weeks gestation. I got so sick of food and getting them to eat what the doctors wanted, I lost interest in eating myself. Finally, I told the doctors at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia ENOUGH! What did they expect. They were only 1 pound 3 ounces and 1 pound 4 ounces at birth. Wouldn't you know it. As soon as I cut ties with CHOP's Feeding Program and repected what my twins could eat instead of what they couldn't, they gained the weight. I digress...

Jeanette: Sorry, I missed your post last night. You must have posted while I was writing my late night novel. Were you able to fit in both your hill ride climb and Jari tonight? How does Jari's other tapes compare to her S&L? I admire that you rarely eat fast food. It would require more planning on my part to cut back. Just today, I took my girls to McDonalds for lunch. I got a yogurt and fruit parfait. I did eat some of dd's french fries. But, they smelled sooooo good! I think it's great that your boys learned how to work on vehicles. Most of the boys I know around here (which isn't many) learned to just work, which is a feat in itself these days. There's this one perfect homeschooling family I know... The oldest would buy tractors and ride-on mowers, fix them up, and sell them for a profit when he was a teenager. It help pay for his college. Their other boy invested his money in greenhouses and raising raspberries. He sells them seasonally. He also chops wood and sells it for firewood. I secretely wish their boys would wait and marry my dds; even though one is in college.

SandraX: No injury report here... yet. LOL and ewwwing at the thought of your dh smacking his lips. :7 Oh, come on... you know you want the recipe. It could count as part of your fruit portion. }( It's also a lot healthier than what I have planned for Easter desert, chocolate swirled cheesecake. It's my grandmother's old fashioned recipe with 3 boxes of cream cheese, 5 eggs, melted chocolate chips, heavy cream and chocolate cookie crumbs! YUM :9 LOL about your visions of shipping DD. Let's see how about DDC? Is it too close to DD or DC for you? I can ship either or all depending on how many last nerves I've got left! ;-)

Be back in a moment. Dh made some spaghetti and meatballs for me. I know it's late, but I haven't eaten much all day. Shame on me!

Wendy
 
I'm Baack!

After Tony congratulates you for completing ARX, dh tells me he's fine with an incomplete. Can I get an I on my report card please? LOL

I was wrong, dh made hot sausage and angel hair pasta. Gosh, I LOVE that man even if his thighs are skinner than mine!

Oh, forgot to tell y'all. One of my twins got bite by dd's art teacher's dog. Well, more like the dog snapped at her and superficially scraped her face. They're almost eye level with each other. This all happened when I was in the bathroom and art teacher was in his studio. I didn't get the complete story until we were safely in our car. She was crowding him in near the wooden stairs and the dog got nervous. He also gets nervous when people get too close to his face. He's a BIG dog, but such a sweet one! He's scared of the steps after falling down them once. Anyhow, dd freaked out crying. It took a good 10 minutes to calm her down. Then I asked her to make friends with his chocolate lab. She just sobbed, "BaBeeeee, I waaaaant myyyy dog!" That was her name when we adopted her. Meanwhile, her co-twin, the girl who shared womb space with her, is giggling and dancing around without a speck of compassion for her wounded sister. Where's the twin thing? That shatters the myth that if you hit one the other one will feel it!

Laurie: It must be a relief that your dd is feeling better and your parents safely arrived. Are you sending your cold weather my way? I couldn't believe we had snow flurries today. Oh, I had asparagus with my steak dinner last night. :9 I have to ask, why only egg whites and no yolks?

Deb: How was YogaX? It's funny that most of us would prefer weights over YogaX. Why or why did they make it so long! I'll be a good wife and bite my tongue since my mantra is "I will not sub!"

TraciX: OUCH! Stop loving me so much! That kiss and smack hurt my head! How was your date night? Did you tell him that he's gotta do more than buy you dinner if he wants a kiss and a smack? LOL OK, you could have kept the bagel bread info to yourself. You know there's carb addicts here! ;( Let's see if I can guess your secret? Hmmm? You're not pregnant. You're too young to go through the change. You're going on the Road Trip? Yippee! Yay! We can step together! We can lift together. We can talk about people who look better than us together!!! No, we'd never do that unless they were meanies. Okay, so that might not be it... You won the lottery! Did you know I'm your poor new best friend for life? Wait, you're keeping your fingers crossed, so as not to jinx it. So, that can't be it. Hmmm...You're adopting a child from Vietnam, Africa and Vietnam again. Wait, that's Angelina Jolie. Hee-hee. We can always dream can't we. I give up. Spill the beans! LOL about the naked cows. Yes, I'm sure there's a few naked pigs behind the barn too! So you're taking delight in my evilness towards ex SIL. Really, I shouldn't be talking about her kids like I did. I'm sure my boys are lying to me when they come back with all their horror stories. At least, my "allegedly lying" boys stick up for their sisters and me when ex SIL starts talking about homeschooling. She's a kindergarten teacher in Philly, and can't believe oldest dd is a grade level ahead in math and English. I should send a copy of dd's national standardized exam to shut her up. Oops, there I go again with my evil self.

Lea: Is it the DDCoffee you're craving. I could send you a bag of coffee ground up coffee beans. Just PM me an address of where you want it to be delivered. If it's the doughnuts, you're on your own. I will NOT have any part in aiding or enabling that nasty carb habit! The doughnut wouldn't make it to the post office anyhow. LOL I've gotta go Easter shopping too. In fact, I better make the cheese cake desert tonight after I post. It takes two days for that sucker to settle! Dd started art lessons at the tender age of 6 too. It was planned. I had to do something after I embarrassingly pulled her out of her first Drama4Kids class. I thought she'd need therapy for sure! Long story, I'll tell it someday soon. Anyhow, she sold her first piece of art work at age 7 for $50.00 to a total stranger. I was so proud of her considering I don't think that's where her strength lies. You'll be surprised at what kids learn in a short period of time. Dinosaurs and dragons will soon turn into Picasso pieces; either by effort or accident! LOL I've never heard of The Office. It mustn't be a reality program because I'd know about it then. My favorites are Anthony Bourdain (love him, reminds me of my dad), Project Runway (Love Tim Gunn's phrase, "Make it work."), and Housewives of Orange County. I always feel better about how I live my life after watching those rich ladies and their children. LOL Phil tells me that if I keep watching only reality tv all the good actors will be unemployed. Do you still love me despite my obvious faults? Will a package of DDC persuade you to overlook them? :7

SandraX: Me? An active mother? I have no choice. They won't leave me along! I try to hide, but it doesn't work. They're like hound dogs, and can sniff me out a mile away! LOL about your dd. Haven't you ever heard of duct tape? When my twins were still in diapers, I would have to put their diapers on backwards or else I'd find them nude with everything in their cribs smeared in a lovely shade of brown.

Monica: You are so good! I would be a terrible employee if I had internet access! Hope your hip heals soon.

Debra: ROTF SandraX's dd's future career! I pressed play, but I don't feel very good right now. I know it hurts, it's supposed to hurt. That's why it's the X. LOL
