It's raining....it's pouring....

Well, it has been raining for the past 3 days pretty much.  Which is great, because we so need the rain.  The pollen here was getting to be too much and we needed a good rain to wash it away.  That has been Kent's whole problem with being sick.  So he is feeling much better now.  Hopefully he will continue to feel better.  I just hate it when he is sick.

After I get off the computer, I plan on pricing some more stuff for my yard sale.  Hopefully, I can get it all done.  I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with it all.  But I am hoping it will pay off.  Let's hope so.  Saturday is supposed to be rain free, so hopefully we will have a good crowd come out.

Well, for the most part that has been my day.  Oh last night I did some more Spring Cleaning.  Kent helped too.  He washed the windows which I was so happy about.  And I dusted the furniture.  Hopefully, by the end of the week we will be done.

Well, that is all for now.  I'll talk with yall later!

My Kentiepoo is sick....

Well, Kent is sick.  Poor thing.  He was running a fever of 101 this morning and still went to work.  Crazy.  Well, he calls me at about 9:00am and tells me he made an appointment to see the doctor at 2:45pm.  And that he was getting off of work at 2pm.  So, I knew then that he was really sick.  So, when he gets home from work he takes his temperature and it was still like 100.1.  So, he goes to the doctor.  I was thinking he had the flu, but it's a sinus infection.  So, the doctor gave him some antibotics(sp?) and some nasual spray.  Hopefully, that will do the trick.  Plus, he has the next 3 days off so that will give him some time to rest and take care of himself.  Hopefully, he will be healthy soon!

Today I did a few chores here and there.  I started my Spring Cleaning, but I didn't get very far.  I dusted my entertainment center and the walls.  And then dusted the ceiling fans.  That's about as far as I got.  I still have a ton more to do, but it will just have to wait.  I also took a little nap.  While Kent was at the doctor I went and saw his Granny and talked to her for a while.  And then came home and cooked.  And that was pretty much my day.  So, I guess I'll talk with yall later!

YARD SALE!!!

So, far like the past hour and a half I have been tagging clothes for my yard sale.  Who knew it was a pain in the booty to make money?  Anyway, I'm done with all of the clothes part.  I still have to do purses and frames and stuff like that.  Plus, my parents are donating stuff for it, so I also have to tag that.  And all this has to be done by Friday.  Cause I do not want to run around like a chicken with my head cut off on Saturday.  Like I said earlier, if you are in the area come by and see us this Saturday!  I need all the help I can get...this Florida trip isn't going to pay for itself.  But that would be nice wouldn't it?!?!

Well, other than yard sale stuff, all I did today was go to church.  I mostly sat around the house and did nothing.  When Kent got home we ran to Wally World to pick up a few things.  And then we came home.  The Kent went back to town to pick up some supper.  And then the rest of the night we just sat around.  Cause Kent doesn't feel all that great...allergies.  Poor thing.  He went to bed at 9:00pm.  I hope he feels better soon!

Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!  BYE!!!

Shopping!!!!

Well, Kent and I headed to the mall tonight.  We ate at Chick-fil-A..is that how you spell it???  Anyway and then after eating we went to the mall.  We went there for me to shop...but Kent ended up getting more stuff than me...hehee...I like it though when he actually wants to shop too.  I ended up getting two t-shirts.  I was going to get a purse cause Kent said I could so I was looking for one with an "E" on it, because I haven't been able to find one...so we finally found one and it was $50.  Kent said I could get it but I was like no way..not unless it was like a gift or something.  So, I didn't get a purse....which is a big deal cause I LOVE purses!!!  So after shopping, we headed back home and watched some TV.  Kent is now in the bed and I am about to be in there too....once I iron his uniform....so that is my update for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

Sunny day!

cat_fish_bowl_md_wht.gif

Well, another day of sun and warm temps.  Ahhh...wonderful!!!  Once it warms up a little more I plan on laying out again and soaking up some more rays.  My only problem...is Granny has company...and people are coming and going all day.  Why is this a problem??  Well, their drive-way goes right pass my prime laying out spot.  And I personally like to lay out in peace.  Hopefully, I can sneak in and out without too many people seeing me.  We'll just have to see...  Ahhh...what I would do for a privacy fence sometimes....

My plans today are to straighten up the house, wash clothes, and go to the mall with Kent later tonight.  Besides that, nothing.  I wouldn't mind going down to Florida and laying on the beach...but nah, I'll just have to wait until July.  Waiting....is July here yet???  Well, for now, that is all.  Hopefully after my day is done I'll have something good to talk about...until then...bye all!!!!!

Nothing new

Nothing new has really happened since I last wrote.  I did tan for a little while longer and then I headed in for a shower.  Once Kent got home he took a bath and we headed out to eat with my moma, daddy, and brother.  We had a good time.  Then we went to my parent's house and watched some of the UAB game...which they lost...ugh.  And Kent tanned while we were there.  After we left my parent's house we came home and just watched TV.  I called my friend who I am having the yard sale with and we discussed details.  Hopefully we will make some money off of it.  Cause I really want to pay for the room Kent and I are staying in....seeing how it's my birthday present to him.  Anywho, that was mostly my day.  Not too exciting huh...well, maybe I'll have exciting news later...we'll just have to see.... ; )

Yall be good and have a good weekend.  Bye!!!

Woohoo, I finally am getting to tan.  I have already been out there for 40 minutes.  After I cool down I plan to go back out for another 40 minutes or so.  I hope I have a good tan going by the time summer gets here.  Hopefully my mother-in-law will break open the pool sometime in May and I can float and tan.  That would be nice. 

I really don't have much to talk about today.  Not much has went on.  Just a bit of cleaning and tanning.  That's about it....

Well, sorry so short, but nothing to really type about.  I'll talk with yall later!

So much for tanning...

                                             joe_shopping_md_wht.gif

Well, as of yesterday, I was going to lay out in the sun and soak up some rays.  But I totally forgot about a doctor's appointment that I have today.  So, so much for tanning today.  Maybe tomorrow I can catch up on my rays.  The weather is still supposed to be pretty so I'll just manage until tomorrow.

Today I have basically done nothing.  I did iron Kent's uniform and my clothes but besides that I haven't done much else.  It will be OK cause next week I will make up for it while doing my Spring Cleaning.  I still need to find something to cook for supper tonight.  What I really need to do is go grocery shopping...but ick...I hate doing that.  I guess I could do that Monday.  But I still need to pick up some milk and bread and OJ.  We'll see.

Well, that is all for now.  I'm off to get ready to go to my appointment.  I'll talk with yall later!!!!!!

SPRING!!! SPRING!!!

                                           

I am so happy that Spring is finally here.  And hopefully to stay!  The tempature is finally going up and hopefully staying up!  Today it is supposed to be in the mid 70's and then for the rest of the week it's supposed to be in the high 70's low 80's.  Woohoo....perfect tanning weather!  AND the days are getting longer which I so love!  I have so much to do though when Spring comes.  Next week I have Spring Cleaning which I already have a list made out  And then I plan on planting either next week or the next.  I am so excited.  Who would have ever guessed that I would love to garden?  Not me.  Anyway, back to my Spring Cleaning, it will last somewhere between 2-3 days.  I mean I am doing it all: cleaning out closets, dusting walls and pretty much anything else, mopping, sweeping, wiping, etc, etc.  So hopefully at the end I will have a nice clean home, here's hoping anyways.  Today has been good.  I got up at 8 even though I could have slept in cause Kent had to work.  But I got up and made some breakfast.  I then straightened up my house: i.e swept, put things up, wiped counters off, washed dishes,etc.  And then started washing clothes.  My last load is in the dryer now..woohoo!  I then made some lunch and made the leftovers for Kent's lunch tomorrow.  Then I iron Kent's uniform for work tomorrow and got it looking all wrinkle free.  I then got the mail and watered my plants.  Anyway, back to my day, after watering the plants I have mainly just sat around.  I'm about to hop in the shower and get ready for Kent to come home.  So, I'll talk with yall later!

Check please!!!!

lochness_monster_saying_hi_md_wht.gif

CHECK please!!!!  Waiter...check???  I would like to just say that by all means I am TIRED!!!!  This day wasn't a hard day by any means...but I am just tired...  Today Kent and I got up at 7:30 and took my car to get the front end aligned (sp?).  So we drop if off at the shop and come back home.  Then we walk up the hill and talk with Granny and Pops a few minutes and then we come home so Kent can wash his hair cause he ha a hair cut appt. at 10:00.  So we go back to town for Kent to get his hair cut and then come back home.  Then we go back to Granny and Pops and helped them put bark in their flower beds and I helped pull some weeds up.  Then we came home and rested for a bit and then when back to town to get my car after they DIDN'T fix it...so we are going to take it somewhere else.  That is just rude to let a customer's car sit there practically all day and not tell them you can't fix it cause your "machine is broke".  But anywho, so we come home.  Well, Kent goes and changes the oil in my car and I watch Granny paint chairs....  Then Kent and I go up to his parent's house and watch them pile rumble up from the burnt down house and dump it in a dump truck.  Then I leave Kent there and go to Wally World and pick up a few things, run by the ATM, and get something to eat (not so much in that order).  And then go get Kent and we come home and eat and watch American Idol.  Now I am tired and just trying to get some rest before I start another day in a few short hours....

Goodnight all...I am tired...be good and I'll talk with yall later!!!!!

What a LONG day!!!

voltman_shocked_md_wht.gif

Man....could my day get any longer???  It started off at 7:30 in the morning with Kent hitting the snooze button...which was nice.  Then Kent took Kacie back to the vet to get checked out.  Thankfully...for now...she doesn't have to have 3 inches of her tail removed.  But we do have to watch it for awhile and put medicine on it twice a day.  Anyway, Kent went to Wally World to get some new tires put on my car and found out that one of my back tires had a nail in it...UGH!!!  So then he comes home and we get ready to go to B'ham to go to the doctor.  Well, on the way to B'ham Kent is going 73 in a 65 and gets pulled over....I personally thought it was funny, but Kent...umm not so much.  Kent casually told the trooper that he was in "law enforcement" too and he got off with a warning.  Well, we arrive in B'ham at 2:15 and we wait.....and we wait......and wait......and wait some more.....finally at about 3:30 we are called back to see the doctor.  The whole reason we went was for Kent's diabetes.  So then we get back in the little room and the nurse comes in and does her thing.  And then the doctor comes in and asks a whole bunch of questions and then tells Kent to take all his clothes off except his undies and he would be right back.  So we wait.....and wait.....and wait....and wait.....and wait some more...well about 45 minutes later the doctor comes back in and does an exam and adjusts Kent's insulin.  Then hands him a slip of paper to get lab....which is two floors down.  So we go to the lab...and wait....Kent gets his blood taken and we are out at around 5:30ish....3 hours in one place...CRAZY!!!!  So now we are home...whew...and that was my day!

Sleeping Beauty

I need my prince charming to come and kiss me and wake me up!  I am sooo sleepy and I can't seem to shake it.  I guess I am just going to have to give in and take a nap.  But honestly I hate taking naps.  If I take one then it takes me forever to go to sleep at night...grrrr...  I guess it's the big lunch that I ate that is doing it to me.  Maybe if I can manage to stay up until Kent gets home then maybe I can prop my eyelids up until bedtime...I doubt it though.

Today has been a good day.  The weather cooled off a good bit after a string of thunderstorms came through last night.  It's in the 60s today.  And tonight its supposed to dropped below freezing...brrrrr...But gradually throughout the week its supposed to warm back up...YAY!

Tomorrow Kent has to take Kacie back to the vet to get her tail checked out again.  They will decide tomorrow if they need to remove 3 inches of it or not.  Then it will be Kent's turn to go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon.  What is up with us and doctors???  Anywho, his visit is only for a check up so it shouldn't take too long.

Well, that is all for today.  I'll talk with yall later!!!!

Gotta Love It!

SAT

83°F 
53°F                       
I just love living in the south.  It's days like this that just make me so happy.  Once again the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.  Not a cloud in sight.  Perfect weather for laying out.  Which I have already done.  I came in for a water break though.  As soon as I cool off I'm going back out.  I'm hoping to have a pretty good tan by the time summer gets here.  Kent's parent's have a pool and it will be perfect to lay in and float around while getting a tan.  But it's got to warm up just a bit more.  They usually open their pool around May or so.  So hopefully by May the temp. will be a little warmer.  Right now I think the temp is around 78 or so.  The weather guy said it could get to 82.  Which is wonderful.  But rain is moving in tonight.  It's ok though...we need a little rain here.

I have no idea what Kent and my plans are for tonight.  I guess just hang out around the house and watch TV.  That is our usual Saturday night plan.  Cause Kent has to work tomorrow.  Which stinks.  I wish he could work Monday through Friday and have the weekends off.  A girl can dream can't she???  Oh well, I'm off to tan some more.  I'll talk with yall later!!

Update on Kacie

Well, the update on Kacie is she is doing fine.  They have tapped up her tail and we are having to give her antibiotics (sp?) twice a day and then some pain medication to make her sleep every 8-12 hours.  She has to go back Monday to see if she needs to get 3 inches of her tail removed.  Poor thing.  Plus, her stuck up sister (Sammie) is being sooo mean to her.  I guess because she came back smelling like other animals.  Sammie is just being mean.  I guess with time she will get used to her again.  But in the mean time it is driving me up the wall!

Here Kitty, Kitty

Kaice (my youngest furbaby, cat) is presently at the vet.  Poor thing.  Somehow she got her tail basically torn off at the tip.  I noticed yesterday that her tail looked funny and I bent down to look and you could see the flesh of her tail.  It was quite gross.  Anyway, we called the vet and they told us to bring her in today.  So that is where Kent is at right now.  I'll update more on her condition whenever I know more.

Today I went over to my parent's house to chat with them for a bit and while I was over there I left my lights on (I don't know why they were on to begin with...).  Anyway, I go to start my car and my battery is dead.  Thankfully my daddy was there to jump it off and on my way I went.  I then came home and layed out in the sun for about 40 minutes and then had some lunch and then layed out another 40 minutes.  I guess I got some sun.  I can't really tell though.  Today has been perfect.  I have the windows up and the ceiling fans going.  The sky was blue with hardly any clouds and the sun was shining.  The temp. was like 78 so it was perfect for tanning!  Well, for the most part that was my day.  I'll talk with yall later!!

Whew

SunflowerWhew....let's all time a moment and let out a big sigh of relief.....  OK with that done today has been a good day.  My parents and I went out of town and ate lunch and shopped around.  I got a ROXY t-shirt.  It's cute.  It has ROXY on the front and then on the back it has like a tropical scene.  I like it.  I think it will be a cute little shirt to wear around during spring and summer.  I did some cleaning today.  Nothing huge.  Just enough my make my house smell good...  Now I am waiting on Kent to get home.  But he will only be home for a few minutes.  He is going to go back to work to workout in their gym.  But it's ok...I like Kent with muscles...heheheee...  Well, I guess that is all I have for now.  I'll talk with yall later!!!!

Waiting.....

Sorry no updates today.  I was waiting on a phone call all day.  But no one ever called.  Which made me a little mad, seeing how I was pretty much waiting by the phone all day for the call.  But that is OK....life will go on.

Today I washed a ton of clothes...like 6 or 7 loads.  We went through our Spring/Summer clothes and I had to wash a couple of loads of those.  We are putting a lot of clothes in the yard sale.  So far I have 7 trash bags of clothes and shoes.  I'm hoping to do well in the yard sale.  The money will be going to my vacation in July.  So if yall live close to me then come by and check it out.  It's on April 3rd.  Today I also layed out in the sun.  But it was only for like 30 minutes or so.  It was kind of cold out so I was like forget this.  Maybe it will warm up soon so I can really get to laying out for longer periods of time.

Well yall that was pretty much my day!  I'll talk with yall later!!!!!

Howdy All!

          Old Navy                                 mexico_fl_md_wht.gif

Well, today was good.  Kent and I went out and we had a good time.  We went to OLD NAVY and looked around.  I ended up getting a t-shirt and some capri PJ pants.  I think Kent got two t-shirts.  We then went and ate some Mexican food.  It was by all means gross!!!!  I barely ate anything.  I don't think we will be going there anytime soon!  All in all today was a good day for an anniversary!!

The weather was so pretty today.  The sky was blue and the sun was just a shining.  The temp. wasn't too cold or too hot.  It was just right.  I hope it stays this pretty for awhile!  I'm hoping in the next week or so I can get my planting done.  We'll just have to see how it goes.  I'm having a yard sale April 3rd so I hope the weather will be pretty for it.  I still have a ton of stuff to do for that as well.  So much to do.....

Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

Happy Anniversary tomorrow!!!!

Tomorrow is my anniversary!  Kent and I will have been married for 2 years.  It's been a great two years.  I'm not saying it has been perfect, but we managed to get through it all and it has only made us closer!  We have been each other's support in times of need.  Kent has always been there for me to spill my thoughts and feelings to.  He never once seemed to be bothered by all my talking...even though I am sure he was tired of me talking and talking and talking...  He always maked sure he never left the house without telling me he loved me.  He has been the greatest husband ever.  He has always been there for me and has always love me even when I was unloveable.  I can't wait to have babies with him and grow old together....but not too old too fast...lol....we'll stay young for as long as we can...  But anywho, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!  I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!!!!!

La La La....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  La la la la la................this will all make sense soon enough!

A "burn" out

      Well, this weekend has been crazy to say the least!!!  Saturday we go up to Kent's parent's house and watch a house burn down.  It was somewhat funny to me.  There is this old house that has been up there since the foundation of the earth....it was the house that Kent's grandfather and his siblings and parents lived in.  It's a two bedroom tiny house.  Anywho, it was falling apart so they decided to burn it down.  So a local volunteer fire department came in and it took them forever to set up.  You have to understand this fire department is made up of some hicks with a captial H.  But they were all sweet people!  Anyway, they took a picture in from of the fire truck before they started and then they start a fire in the middle of the house.  At first it didn't look like it was going to take...but once a gust of wind came through it was just a burning.  In the meantime....a policeman spots a cloud of black smoke and calls the city fire department.  So they come out and they knew the other fire fighters so it was ok.  Well, the police officer was like "well they could have told somebody".  And the vol. fire depart. did tell the city police chief!  That police officer seemed rude to me!  But it was ok.  It took the house about 45 minutes to burn completely down.  It was amazing to see the fire just roll out of the house like it did.  Well, that is all for now!  I'll chat with yall later!!!

South Beach Diet

So tonight I bought the South Beach Diet book.  And so far it has been some pretty interesting reading.  From what I have read so far it has tons of benefits.  It would work for all types of people.  Those wanting to lose 10 pounds or 50 pounds.  I'm looking forward to diving right in and seeing how it works.  I don't want to lose a ton of weight or anything but I do want to maintain a good healthy diet and with this "diet" you can.  I'm actually looking forward to starting it come Monday.  I'll let yall know how I do.  Kent is also doing it.  There is even a section on diabetes in there.  I am at that chapter right now, I just haven't read it yet.  Anyway, Kent has diabetes and we were worrying how it would affect him.  So, I will see as soon as I read that chapter.  I'm hoping he can do it too though.  I think it would be easier if we both did it together.  I'm just hoping we can stick with it.  I'm going grocery shopping Sunday and picking up all the needed "supplies" for the next two weeks.  I'm hoping this works!!!!!!  Well, that is all for now...I may be back in a few hours writing something crazy and off the wall....cause it seems I am pulling an all nighter because Kent is working....well later gator!

Stressed

s_md_wht.gift_md_wht.gif r_md_wht.gif e_md_wht.gif s_md_wht.gif s_md_wht.gif

I am stressed beyond belief.  All this waiting and waiting has taken it's toll on me.  I have to wait to take clomid that will hopefully allow us to conceive a healthy baby.  It's just way too stressful.  Once I can take the medicine I know this stress will be gone, but right now I have no control over when I take it.  Only my body does....  I am on CD (cycle day) 44.  It has been the longest 44 days of my life.  I'll just be glad when it is over and I can proclaim to the world that I am pregnant!!!!!!!!!  Today was a pretty day.  The temp. was a little lower than my liking, but the sun was shining brightly.  I went to water aerobics today.  I haven't done well with my exercise routine this week.  All the stress just got to me.  It will all be over Sunday though.  And Monday...lol...I am starting a new diet.  And Kent has volunteered to do it with me.  It's the southbeach diet.  From all that I have read about it, it seems to be a good little diet.  Well, I am off to finish supper and get dressed to go to Wally World.  I'll talk with yall later!  Be good and have a good weekend!

What's your Body Mass Index?

                                          Drawing of a man with a muscular buildDrawing of a man with a fat build

My BMI is 22.3.  According to the chart that is in the normal range.  So I am pretty happy about that.  But one thing about this whole diet thing is that I am not happy about only losing 2 pounds so far.  Today is day 10 of my dieting and still I am at 138.  It's driving me crazy.  I know that muscle weighs more than fat and yes I have been working out so there is more muscle than fat, but sometimes I just want to look at the scale and see 128 on there instead of 138.  I just hope I lose more before I get pregnant.  I hope to be atleast 134 by the time I get pregnant.  But if I'm not pregnant within the next month or so, I hope to get down to 128.  That is my pre-pregnancy goal.  I hope I make it!

Today was a good day.  I got outside and did some yard work.  Kent and his grandparents and myself dug up some bushes and planted them along our house.  We hope they survive.  If they do they will look so pretty next to my house.  I did some housework today as well.  Washing clothes, sweeping, washing dishes that sort of stuff.  I'm hoping to get some more done tomorrow.  We'll just have to see.  I hope to get some Spring cleaning done in the next few weeks or so.  Maybe in a week or two I will start that.  It's been since Oct/Nov of last year that I really got down and cleaned.  I'm having a yard sale the first of April so I want to do the cleaning before that so I can go through my stuff and decide what I want to put in it.  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

And the winner is....

Sunbird CondominiumsGulf front pool deckGulf front

The Sunbird.  It's a resort type hotel.  It is really nice and it's close to all the attractions at Panama City Beach.  I honestly am just too excited for words.  We are going Jul 18th-the21st.  We are going with another couple.  We are sharing the costs of the room.  Which allowed us to get a really nice place.  While in PC Beach we will probably go to Shell Island.  It's so beautiful there.  I fell in love with the place the last time and just can't wait to get back.  Only thing I am worried about is being pregnant while on the trip.  I hope so much to be pregnant by then, but there won't be much I can do though.  But that's OK...it makes more time for laying out in the sun I guess!

Today is Day 9 of my dieting.  It went as usual.  I haven't exercised yet though.  I hope to atleast get some ab work in if nothing else.  Then tomorrow I should be getting back on my regular routine.  It's walking 2 miles and then water aerobics.  I'm hoping by the end of the week I will have lost a few more pounds.  I hope so!

Well, that is all for now.  I'll talk with yall later!!!

LOL...today was just too funny.  About 12:45pm or so I heard this noise, like I car was having trouble.  So I look out the door and see this man hop out of his car and start walking down the road.  Well, as he was walking I noticed that my mailbox, the pole it was on was in two pieces.  And my neighbor's mailbox was messed up too.  What happened was the car's tire fell off and either the tire hit the mailboxes or the car itself did.  Well, I run and wake Kent up and tell him.  So, we go out there and get the tag number of the car.  And since we couldn't find that man, we called the police.  Well, they get here and we are all talking because the police couldn't do anything because we were out of the city limits...anywho, so we were waiting on a state trooper to get here.  Well, as we were standing there with the cops the car drives by real slowly and has it's blinker on.  Well, the guy on the passenger side was the guy who hit our mailboxes.  And I was like that was the man who hit our milboxes.  Well, instead of pulling over they keep going...lol...this is where it gets interesting.  The cop hops on his motorcycle and takes off after them.  Well, a few mintues later they all come back.  In the mean time while waiting on the trooper the guy doesn't have any ID, no insurance papers, and the tag on the car isn't even the right tag for the car.  So, finally the trooper gets there and we are all standing around.  Well, about that time the cop tells the trooper that the guy is saying his name is one thing, but the girl he is with refuses to tell him what the man's name is.  So, that raises some red flags.  Well, a little while later another cop pulls up and questions the guy.  Then that cop leaves and another cop pulls up, pats the man down and hand cuffs him and takes him to jail.  Well, Kent goes back out there and is talking to the trooper and the trooper said the man wouldn't tell them his name, plus the car belonged to a dealership and they told him not to take the car and he did.  So they are going to press charges on him as well.  LOL...the moral of this story......don't mess with my mailbox!

Vacation Planning

I am too excited!  I'm planning a vacation for July 18th-July 21st.  Kent and I are going to Florida, well Panama City to be exact.  I just love the beach.  I can't wait.  The whole trip was started as a surprise for Kent for his birthday.  I was going to plan everything out and then spring it on him.  Well, seeing how I can't keep secrets from Kent...I just had to tell him.  So, I did.  He was happy about it.  So, I am now looking for places to stay.  I have found a couple of places, but I haven't made a final decision.  I need to make one soon though, cause all of these places are selling out very quickly.  While we are down there, Kent is going to have a session where he can swim with the dolphins.  I say he is because I don't know if I am or not.  Because if I am pregnant then I don't know if I can or would want to swim with the dolphins.  I hope we can take a trip to Shell Island.  It is just so beautiful there.  Kent and I went last year, and it literally took my breath away.  It was so beautiful and so untouched.  Just perfect...just like the way God intended it to be.  Anywho, needless to say I am excited and just can't wait!

Day 8 of my dieting is going fairly well.  I need to bump up my water intake.  But besides that I think I have caught my second wind and I am ready to go.  I have already done some cardio today.  I didn't go to water aerobics nor did I do my two miles.  But like I said I did my cardio.  And later I will do some more exercising. 

Well, that for the most part has been my day.  I'm off to hotel search!!!  I'll talk with yall later!

Short but sweet

Well, today was an usual Sunday.  I went to Granny's and pigged out.  Today is my one off day from my dieting.  So I took advantage of it.  I did weigh myself and I disappointingly (is that a word?) only lost 2 pounds.  I still say that scale is messed up.  Anywho, the rest of the day was spent looking up hotels to stay in when we go to Florida this summer.  Well, for the most part that was my day.  I am too tired to type anymore.  I hope to update later!!!

Windows up!

                                            sun_playing_with_beach_ball_md_wht.gif

The windows are up and the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue.  It's amazing how the weather can change so quickly.  The temp. is a little lower than it has been, but it's still so nice outside.  I can't wait until it's planting time.  I have so many ideas for my flower bed.  I've even thought about putting flowers around my mail box.  But I'm afraid my post lady might run over them.  But either way, I can't wait to plant!  I also can't wait until it's warm enough to open the pool.  Well, my mother-in-law's pool.  That way I can lay out in the sun and it can be natural tanning.  Plus, if I get pregnant (fingers crossed) that will be the only way to tan for me...no more tanning bed.  OOOO I can't wait!!!!!

My dieting today has gone as usual.  I have had my shake for breakfast.  I will be having lunch as soon as I exercise.  Today is abs and muscle toning.  I weigh in tomorrow.  I'm hoping to see some pounds gone.  And I am going to see how many inches in my tummy area that I have lost...if any....  I'll let yall know how it goes!  Sundays are my diet off days.  WOOHOO!  I can't wait!!!!

Well, that is all for now.  I'm off to iron, exercise, and have lunch.  Yall be good and have a good day!!!!  BYEEEE!

Weather/ Day 5 of Dieting

                                           

The weather is being such a pain.  I went to water aerobics and there was a lady there that said the weather may get bad tonight.  So, I hurry home afterwards and turn on the TV and all it is saying is some Thunderstorms.  Which that is the national weather channel.  The local stations are more accurate.  But I didn't look on any of those.  I like storms but I don't like tornados.  I think they are an awesome show of nature, but when people get hurt or killed it's just not cool anymore.

Today so far, I have had my shake for breakfast and my bar for lunch.  I think we will be eating Subway tonight.  I have a craving for it.  So, chances are we will be eating there.  I walked 2 miles this morning and then swam a couple of labs.  I then did an hour of water aerobics and came home.  Once I got home I decided to clean a little bit.  I just wiped counter tops off and swept and vacummed.  I dusted a little and windex the mirror in the bathroom.  I cleaned the bathroom a little bit and just straightened everything up in the house.  Nothing major.  It only took me about 30 minutes.  Not too bad.

Well, I guess that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!!!

Day Four of Dieting!

Well, I'm on day four of my wonderful dieting experience.  I can honestly say that it has gotten easier as the days go on.  Those first two days, my stomach was having to adjust to the shortage of food.  Not that I was starving myself or anything.  But I was cutting down the portions to the proper sizes.  And my stomach wasn't happy that it wasn't getting fed all the time.  Anywho, today it was pretty easy.  I was busy most of it so that helped!  I did my muscle toning and my abs today. 

I went to the doctor today.  It was such a good visit!  My doctor showed me all my lab work from when I gave them blood to test on.  He told me that I had low progesterone.  If anyone HAD to have a problem then low progesterone was the problem to have.  It can easily be fixed!  He is putting me on 50 mg of clomid on days 2-6.  And then if I get pregnant he told me to immediately start taking progesterone.  So, hopefully we will be on our way and soon enough have a baby on the way!!!  YAY!!!  Well, that is all for now!

Day Three of Dieting

Well, my day three of dieting has come to an end.  Today, I walked two miles and did water aerobics.  I didn't drink as much water as I probably should, but after drinking it constantly I just had to take a break!  I drank my SlimFast shake for breakfast and had a bar for lunch.  I have drunk about a total of 160z of water today (told yall I have been bad at that).  I'm going to try and get anothe 12-20oz in before bed tonight.  That was basically my dieting for the day.

The rest of my day consisted of me going to Wally World.  I needed to pick up a few things.  It was nice getting out and just enjoying the weather.  Tomorrow is suppose to be pretty too.  I'm looking forward to it.  When I got home I cleaned the house up a bit and cleaned out the litter box (ick).  And now my house looks so good.  My windows are up and I can hear all the little noises.  The breeze that blows through feels so good.  I love the way my house smells when I have the windows up.  It smells fresh.  Especially after being closed up for most of the winter.  Back to my day...  I cooked supper.  We had ham, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.  It was good...if I do say so myself.  And now we are just watching TV.  I plan on painting my nails tonight sometime.  I don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow with ugly toenails and fingernails.  Anywho, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

Nervous

For whatever reason, I just got so nervous about my doctor's visit Thursday.  I was looking at my clock and it said 12:00am.  And I thought well tomorrow (since it's now Wednesday) I will be going back to the doctor and he will then give us the green light to start trying to have a baby again.  And it just hit me...I'm going back down that road where I am in control of nothing and how I am still at some risk of having a miscarriage again.  It's frightening to me.  I just honestly see no way of getting over another miscarriage.  It just seems impossible to me.  I just don't want to go through that again.  I just don't.

Day Two of Dieting

Well, its day two of my dieting.  Today I had a French Vanilla shake.  It was HORRIBLE!  I'm sorry but I will just have to waste my money on those, because I'm not drinking another one!  It by no means was good!  And since it was so bad I wasn't ever really satisfied.  So, I starved most of the day.  I had a SlimFast bar for lunch.  For an afternoon snack I had some raisins.  I have drunk about 36oz of water today.  I'm still not up to the needed 68oz of water a day, but I'm getting there.  Yesterday I had a total of 40oz of water.  By tonight I hope to get about 48oz in.  We'll see.  My bladder is working over time...that is for sure!  Today I did my muscle toning and my abs.  It really didn't feel like a good workout.  But it may have just been my mood.  My mood today, hasn't been so great.  I guess with all the rain and stuff, I just feel sluggish.  I'm hoping that will all pass soon!  These next few days are suppose to be great.  And by Thursday the high temp. is supposed to get to 80!!  WOOHOO!  I can't wait!  Well, that is all for today.  I'm fixing to go hop in the tanning bed.  Yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!!!
