umm..yeah. still here.

just a quick note to let you all know we are alive and well. we are living as sqwaters? my brain is mush and i don't even know if i spelled that right, but basically we are staying in our apartment, sleeping on the floor, using towels that i will soon be using to clean, watching dvd's on our portable player, and missing our more civilized lifestyle. just to provide a better picture of our less than ideal life---i am bumming wifi from the pizza joint across the street as we speak. it was either this, where i can lock my kids in their carseats while jamming to some annoying kid tune, or go to the library where they are free to kick, scream and revolt in public viewing. yeah. here we are. no sign of our passports. therefore, no sign of our travel plans. my job starts next week. love. the. government. good news though..i can start collecting a pension (a damn good one too) at the age of 57. let's see--25 more years to go?!!

Oh, you poor kid, I feel for you. You will be back to normal before you know it and be able to look back at this time with a smile on your face. I am praying for you, everything will work out. I will feel better when you are finally over there and the plane ride is over.

your in my thoughts

Thinking of you and the girls! Why, oh why aren't you staying in TLF? I hope things start progressing soon for you! You'll all be together soon!

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

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 ...

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 ...
