And the scale goes down . . .

Posted Saturday, June 30, 2007 9:12 PM

to 141! Yay! Only 5ish more lbs until I would be okay, and 10 until I'm ecstatic. *happy dance* And we're going to try out the new Mexican restaurant in Roanoke tonight, so that will be a nice change of pace. Maybe if we have time, I can drag him through

Hooray!

The freeloading friend is gone! DH really does not like conflict, and since it is his friend, I let him take the lead. I went to run errands this morning, and when I came back, her stuff was gone and there was a note. She really does have a good heart,

Update on today's fun

Posted Wednesday, June 27, 2007 2:32 AM

First of all, I am not a doormat, and evidently my long, carefully worded board topic didn't amount to much. If you think I am a doormat, just keep telling me I am one and that I need to grow up. Obviously we were raised in very different ways with different

I thought . . .

that the Nest was supposed to be about getting advice and support from other women who have had the same experiences that you have. I am finding out that for some, it is a way to make people feel belittled and guilty for being themselves. I wrote a post

Freeloading friends

Posted Tuesday, June 26, 2007 7:57 PM

Is it wrong to be mad when friends come to stay for one night, extend it to two, and then decide without consulting you that they are going to stay "awhile?" I don't know what to say, as the person is DH's friend. They have a good heart, but we are trying

Hubby defense

Posted Tuesday, June 26, 2007 1:03 PM

Just because he was so excited about getting hit on doesn't mean he's a low-life. I did talk to him about how it made me feel, and he understands. He's just not big on emotions and stuff, and I can be very emotional at times. The post was more about how

Some hussy tried to make out with my hubby!

Posted Sunday, June 24, 2007 8:04 PM

I was sooo mad. We were out with some friends, and he was trying to get a couple of beers when this girl grabs his jaw and tries to kiss him. He said "my wife it right there" and pointed at me, and the girl said "do you think she'll be mad?" He said YES,

I hate evil spyware!

Posted Friday, June 22, 2007 1:11 PM

It just popped up on my computer yesterday at lunch time, so I spent the rest of the day backing up files in safe mode. Then we decided to install the internet on DH's never-used computer, which is what we're on now. So today I get to try and figure out

Ideas for hypothetical children

Posted Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:49 PM

I thought I'd share baby names, since I've seen many others share. DH doesn't seem to realize that these are our future children's names. Michaela Lee (after him and me - he is a junior, and I will not have a III; Lee is handed down from each generation

George killed a mouse!

Posted Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:42 PM

And it was gross. I heard this clicking sound and George barking in the backyard, so I went to save him (I thought it was a raccoon). When I got out there, he was nosing the grass and barking and wouldn't come in. So I went closer, and all of a sudden

Proud of hubby!

Posted Monday, June 18, 2007 2:53 PM

I am so proud of my husband! We went to IL's this weekend because SIL is getting ready to move - so we did one last weekend together. We went to Busch Gardens, which was pretty fun, except that I can't ride roller coasters anymore - I was gasping for

Feeling stuck . . . again

Posted Tuesday, June 12, 2007 2:42 PM

I am feeling stuck again. I applied for some new jobs - one was the one I really wanted, and they hired internally before they received my application. The other I got an email with really warm language about continuing, and I am going to send an email

I knew I forgot something!

Posted Wednesday, June 06, 2007 1:29 PM

I kept forgetting something yesterday, and now I remember - I lost 2 lbs!!!! Who cares if it's only 2, at least it's something. Finally a little payoff.

Just Stuff . . .

Posted Tuesday, June 05, 2007 7:38 PM

I found two jobs (that I would like) in a 20 minute radius from our house! One was through the Vice Principal at one of the schools I sub at, and the other was online b/c I thought she gave me the wrong bank name. I feel like I shouldn't get my hopes

Some good things since I seem to be slightly negative and ranty the past few days: 1) Saw "Knocked Up" - great movie!!!, very cute, and maybe helped Mike not be as terrified about growing up? 2) Holy Trinity Sunday at church today - 2 baby girls baptized

This working out thing . . .

Posted Sunday, June 03, 2007 9:18 PM

Men - argh! I finally broke down and bought a scale because that is the only way to keep myself accountable. DH actually didn't say anything about it. So we've been working out at the gym about every other day, and taking 2 mile walks on the off days.

Job Hunting Stinks

Posted Saturday, June 02, 2007 12:10 AM

Job hunting around here is the worst. Since DH is trying to finish grad school, our plan is to move next May/June. Meanwhile, I'm stuck trying to find a salaried job in Collegetown, USA. Let me tell you, unless you are an engineer or a professor, there
