lesson #1: fat burns

hawaii 2008

1. totally wishing i was there right now! [thats my family building a sandcastle]

2. been busy working. just waiting for some good news that some of my contacts ordered some pizzas.

3. after helping with kaylee's class today i went tanning. since i hadn't been i only went for 8 minutes.

4. i'm as red as a lobster!

5. i had a hard time figuring out why i turned so red then it hits me- FAT BURNS!

6. i've been doing really good watching what i eat this week but i ended up gaining a pound!

7. since parent/teacher conferences were canceled due to the weather, kaylee's teacher sent out letters on how our kids are doing.

8. she said that kaylee still complains of stomaches and wondered if it was due to her being stressed in having everything be right or perfect.

9. she also got another letter stating that she might be able to join kinda like an "honors" or a "gifted and talented" program.

10. mike is in the dog house and he might be for a long while- like meaning till we move. [if we move] he did something that isn't a big deal to normal people but it really sucks for me.

lucky!

hello winner- lucky number 3!!

1. i went down the list of comments and the turd person to post was WENDY!! congrats to your cats for being the weiners!

2. number was picked by the random generator. i had made a video of me doing the whole process but i ended up deleting the video when i tried posting it. fail me!

3. we had another school delay today and another one tomorrow because its so freak'n freezing over here.

4. i was all backwards today and have a gut feeling that all the people i came in contact with today is saying to their families " i met a BLONDE asian today."

5. i bought these awesome shoes after seeing them on what not to wear.

6. totally bummed that they're too big for me and no one has them in my size anymore. [mike didn't like them but i LOVED them!]

7. kaylee said "but this girl needs kleenexes" the other day while we were waiting for the bus. the way she said it was super funny.

8. and she told me that she hogs the bed to keep me + mike warm.

9. and i'm not sure if i had posted this but back in november mike told her she needed to take a bath and she asked "why, is it picture day?" like thats the only time she gets a bath.

10. remember when i won a $100 gc for kayce hughes/pears and bears? well i finally broke down and got kaylee this dress. its adorable!

getting our groove on

this morning waiting for the bus

1. i tell you that girl has her daddy wrapped around her finger!

2. the weekend was good. friday night we didn't do anything. saturday kaylee went over to nana's house. that evening we went and celebrated my parents restaurant being opened for 15 years.

3. then mike + i went and got our groove on. [get your mind out of the gutters- we went dancing!]

4. we got home around 1:45AM- i know, we partied like rock stars! mike suggested we wait for ham in his room. i suggested we hide under the covers and scare him.

5. it totally worked and i'm laughing as i type this! you should of seen his face!! [bwaahahahaha] classic, what every parent lives for moment.

6. i did go shopping on sunday. got a 2 things for me and lots of things for kaylee.

7. everything was on sale + another 20% off + i got $25 in rewards bucks to use later which is great because i want to get her this dress. [LOVE the color!]

8. i put a spending limit on me so once that was reached i went home. plus kaylee had called me asking me when i was going to be home.

9. mike had his super bowl party which i arrived just in time for- yeah, whoopee!

10. it was great not having to clean or prepare or fix anything and still be able to eat.

*** don't forget to enter my giveaway!

twins, memories and don't forget about the giveaway!

1. the nugget LOVES [an understatement] it when we dress like twins.

2. the second photo was our outfit for today. black long sleeve shirts with almost the same color sweater over it, dark jeans, black socks and black boots.

3. we had another 2 hour delay because of the very cold temps.

4. mike surprised us with starbucks [me a hot chocolate made with soy milk] and breakfast from mcdonalds.

5. its become tradition now for me to eat lunch with kaylee before i go and help with her class. today it was the general store.

6. i've been wondering if blow drying, flat ironing or curling kaylee's hair is a bit much. i hate to think i'm ruining her hair. [i rarely blow dry mine]

7. one night last week i spent a lot of time working on this blog- trying to change the font, getting a header but it failed on me. boo- hoo!

8. tomorrow night there's going to be a little party for the south bend bdubs. its the stores 15 year anniversary. wow! 15 years!

9. i remember the first day we opened. we had a line out the door and around the corner. just as we were starting the ceiling by the front window in the bar area started flooding! i mean it was a waterfall gushing down!

10. don't forget to leave a comment for my giveaway. if i don't get more comments, the generous people over at csn won't ask me to do another one and then i will be sad.
