Progress but no REAL PROGRESS...




Chris has been working like a mad man over the past few days trying to get the shower tiled. The top two pictures show the hardibacker board he installed. Our carpenter, John, completed the mudding. The installation was rather tricky as our bathroom is not so level and working around the window presented a huge challenge. It looked great. Thursday he began tiling. I am quite impressed. He is completing this project on his own with supervisory input from me. (I'm sure he'd rather do without that too, but he is taking it in stride.) He did finish putting up the whole tiles diagonally on the longest wall, but has many intricate cuts to make to finish it off. He is not looking forward to that. Hopefully he'll get the rest of the tiles up and move onto the floor. I love to see the progress. As far as my own progress....not as apparent. I am officially tired of being pregnant. I decided yesterday that she should be born 7/7/07. However, she apparently has a different idea in her mind as nothing is happening. Short of drinking cator oil, I have tried everything! We went for a walk, tried to stimluate by pumping, cleaned on my hands and knees, and tonight we are eating spicy food. I have tried it all and unless something happens quickly, I will be the first to say we have no control of when our babies arrive. For a control freak, this is a difficult concept to grasp. Hopefully I won't have to....

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
