Venti Chai Eggnog Latte

OH MY GOD!!! I miss Angerah! I was having such an “I miss you” moment, MyFriendAngerah. I went to Starbucks today and got an Eggnog CHAI Latte! Soooo kicked my ass. Then as I was walking toward my car, it’s snowing on me and it made me think of the first time I had chai, with Angerah, during my vacation in New Brunswick. I miss my friend. :(

Anyway, the mental health day really helped. I stayed in my Pj’s until about 9:30, played a game of Age of Mythology, and pretty much acted like a slug. I had a shower, cleaned up the kitchen, got to the DMV and updated my address on my licence, went onto Main St. Almonte and shopped. Came home, made a poison sandwich for J (He is half ill and I didn’t know it so the hot peppers and horseradish gave him much pain.), went into Wal-mart and got myself new earrings, took the car to Mr. Lube for an oil change, picked up computer parts for J, picked up my kid and went home. It’s really snowing hard here so I had a blast showing the Boy how to use the crazy carpet on our hill!



Must go eat some dinner. I’m going to go to the library tonight and get my card set up. I’ve lived here for 4 years and still don’t have a library card here.

Ciao for now.

I miss the sun...

I have been feeling so depressed the past two days. It's like an extra 20 pounds was added to a bag across my shoulders, I look in the mirror and I see the 20 on my hips, I try to get work done and the effort is so immense...I just want to go to bed for a week. I'm taking Thursday off work to have a recharge day. Am going to hang around in my PJ's and watch movies in the recliner. No cleaning, no laundry...well...maybe a little laundry. ANYWAY, it's going to be a day to just chill in my house. Mornings have been a bitch. I've been running late both mornings now, J is annoyed at me 'cause then I force him out of bed early to help me get the boy ready to go, I get to work feeling totally stressed before I even start dealing with customers. BLARG!!!!

I'm guessing everyone feels like this during daylight savings time. The lack of sunlight draining all ambition to do anything from your body.

Ever since J discovered his foodie blog he has been unstoppable. I've been getting amazing meals every night whether I want them or not! LOVE IT!!! I got an amazing soup for dinner. Scrum-diddly-umtious!

Must go. Am going to tuck myself either into bed or my hobbyroom chair. Time for some me time.

Blog ya later!

FAB Weekend!

What a great weekend! T&L came up for the weekend. J took the opportunity to “Chef-it-up” the entire time. He had snacks ready when they arrived, gourmet breakfast lunch and dinner. He is blogging now with me at: http://jasonpollock.net/blog

His is just for showing his foodie leanings. Lots of pictures of what he makes, most of them pics he took, some stolen from the net.

L and I went shopping for about 5 hours on Saturday. We both got outfits for our company parties and L even got a major deal on her stuff. T stayed home with J and the boy. A lot of Xbox happened and playing with our monster.

This week is going to go by quickly. J and I have a babysitter booked for Saturday night and my company’s Xmas party. I have a pretty new dress, a hair appointment, and my Sweetie is going to be wearing a suit and tie!!! HOLY COW! We are going to get a few dances in too!!! YIPPEE!!!!! I love nights out with my Sweetie!

Ciao for now!

YAY ME!!!!

I lost 1.5 lbs this week! I missed getting my 40 lbs lost star by half a pound. Oh well, will get it next week. My weight is now officially in the 140’s. LOVE IT!

I lost last night completely. I was drugged again for when they put the new bridge in my mouth. I got home, stripped down, fell into bed and was out for 12 hours. I feel VERY good today! Anyway, must go and get ready for T&L who are coming up for the weekend. Should be fun!

Kay

WAAAAAAH!!!!! :(

I just got off the treadmill. My knee just blew, or popped, or tore, or it just hurts! STUPID! I shouldn't have run tonight. It would be my third night in a row and I have not been doing that much all at once in a while. I should have worked up to it gradually and now that I ignored my common sense I'm going to be stuck just walking. CRAP!!! I want to get my 40 lbs lost star this week! :(

Anyway, will let you know how I do at weigh in on Friday.

TTFN

1, 2, 3, 4....

MAJOR breakthrough this evening with the boy! He has this thing about counting. He will touch each part of the picture and very seriously say, "Two, nine, two, nine..." and so on. Tonight I got him to say, "On, two, free, oh-ah"!!! YAAAAY! I taught my baby math...God help him.

Did anyone else watch Gray's Anatomy tonight? ROCKED!!! I don't know why but I'm rooting for Alex to pass his test now. They are so going to leave it as a season finale cliff hanger, but I'm still hooked.

J is sick...and grumpy...but still my handsome Sweetie! :) I love you even though you are Grum-Blor right now Honey! :D I'm going to go make you a cup of tea to make you feel better now.

Good night my public...all three of you!

Halloween and Meringues...

This is my monkey at Halloween! He did great, was pulling on my hand and saying, "Mommy, AIGHT!" to get me to rush to the next house with lights. He knew those were the houses with the candy. We got the cool knight costume from Wal-mart for $14! I am such a Walmart mom!

I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I can bake, I CAN BAKE *Dora the explorer, "The Map Song"*

I had a success after the third attempt at making meringues. They are weight watcher friendly but a real pain to make. The bowl and beaters go in the freezer, the egg whites have to be room temperature, you add the sugar one tablespoon at a time...its hard, but I did it!!! The batch I made I added cocoa powder and almond extract, yummy!

This weekend has been going great. J and I had a snuggle last night in front of a basketball game, I went down to the market today with KC to approve Kenny's engagement ring, got a new Eddie Bauer shirt that was on major clearance sale for $11, and now my Sweetie is in the next room making homemade spaghetti sauce for dinner! I also cleaned the house this morning and got two loads of laundry done. I ROCK!!! Tomorrow there is going to be a ton of loafing and playing with the boy. Acutally we had a good time this afternoon with him. We took him to the park and let him run around on the slides and jungle gym. He is now saying new words everyday. The latest include, "bumble bee", *"pick", "vroom", and "milk".

Anyway, gotta go fold some of the aforementioned laundry.

Caio for now!

Kay

* "Pick" comes from every time he goes pee-pee on the potty he gets to "pick" a piece of candy from his Halloween stash. He has been driving J and I batshit by peeing every ten minutes and acting like its the best day of his life then expecting candy. We have had to deny him a couple time due to lack of quantity. Three drops doth not merit reward! :)

YAY ME!!!!

I weighed in today. LOST 3 POUNDS!!! Am at my lowest yet at 38 lbs gone! WOOT!!! I’m starting to get serious about getting to my goal weight before my year anniversary of joining weight watchers. It’s within my grasp! BWA HA HA HA!!!!

14 to go....

DOO dee DOO dee DOO!!!

Another week has come and gone. I have had a few bumps in the road. I lost yesterday completely. I was sedated for my dentist appointment to keep me calm while they froze me up. This of course meant that I dozed in the car on the way home, J had to drive me, and then didn’t wake up until dinner time. I still feel like crap today.

We are having some success with potty training the boy! After I was at work I got a message from J telling me that The Boy had come running in to the office shouting, “PEE PEE DADDY!!! PEE PEE!!!”. He grabbed J by the hand and took him to the bathroom to show him that he had stripped down and gone on his own in the potty! SO PROUD OF HIM!!! Of course he has the incentive that he gets a piece of Halloween candy every time he does it.

Halloween was really fun! The Boy was a medieval knight! Complete with chain mail hood and coat of arms! He really got into trick or treating this year. He was pulling on my hand trying to get me to faster to the next house. Can’t wait for next year!

Anyway, this should be a calm weekend. Nobody coming over, no plans to be had.
