GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!

Mornin', y'all!


Well, we're having fun around here! LOL  We had a big (really big) thunderstorm here yesterday, and during it, part of our power went out -- which was weird.  All over the house, things turned off, but also all over the house some things stayed on.  When the storm was over, our computer, air conditioner, window fan, refrigerator, stove, and a few other things wouldn't work.  (Also, our carbon monoxide detector went off and since I didn't even know it was there, the girls and I had a heck of a time tracking down the source of the really loud noise! LOL  We used to have a c.o. detector in the hallway, but it broke.  Evidently, Dan replaced it with a unit that can be plugged into an outlet, but neglected to tell the wife. ;o) It was buried under a china hutch in the dining room, and wow, was it loud.)  Anyway, back to our story.)  Dan says he thinks we've lost a "phase" - which means that for some reason, we're not getting the power needed to run major appliances.  It also means that any outlets that were on that phase are not working.  The computer was on one of those outlets, so now we have a (very attractive) extension cord running through the house to another outlet.  Dan didn't get home until late last night, so he decided (wisely) not to go out into the yard looking for damage in the dark.  When he gets up, he's going to try to figure out what happened. 


Anywho, enough about me and my phases (? -LOL).  How was everybuddy's Walksday?  Did you find some extra steps?  I used the phone trick again - this time on several phone calls between me and Dan.  I walked all over the house while I talked.  (Couldn't call Mom this time.  She just had a knee replacement on Monday.)


PhotobucketDoesn't walking make you thirsty?  Me too!  Thank goodness it's THIRSTday!!  I'm going to drink at least 80 ounces of water today.  My shoulder has been bothering me a lot more the last few days, and I realized last night that I'm not doing as well with hydration.  It might not make a difference in the shoulder, but it's worth a shot!


If you get a chance, can you pray for my phases?  (Can you tell I have no idea what I'm talking about?)  I'm really hoping it's something that can be quickly and inexpensively repaired.  Thanks, Buddies.  (((HUGS)))


Have a wonderful Thirstday, Everybuddy!! 


((((HUGS)))) - Karen

Morning,


My walksday was alright. Got off track because I had to spend 3 hours at the blood drive check in. So I couldnt go on my walk at lunch. Dinner I did good, we went to bennegains. And I had water and a salad. Unforunately I ate desert. 1/2 cup of chesecake with strawberries and a little whip cream. It was yummy. AND I couldnt go on my evening walk because it was thundering and lighting really bad. So Im really glad I ate a good dinner.


Today Im going to try and drink lots of water. Its gym night. So Im going home to eat some beef stew. THen hitting the gym bymyself. Bill isnt going. Tuesday is did these arm curls but he started with 75lbs.....*Sighs* and now he cant even move his arms. So Im going on my own. But now he ows me becuse I played star wars with him last night...hrmmm....what can I make him do for me.....probably the dirty dishes.


Anyways...I think thats all for now.


Have a great day buddies

P & PTs coming your way for your phases! (((((HUGS))))) When it rains it pours, huh?


Good morning buddies.


Wow, what a night. Both kids are miserably sick now. I was up most of the night with Emily. Poor thing had a fever, sore throat, and aches and pains all night long. She would sleep for a little bit (in our bed with us) and then just wake up yelling crying in misery. It was awful! It was like that all night long. Her fever broke at about 4:30 this morning and she seems better now. Now both kids have sore throats and noses that run like they're preparing for a marathon, it's awful! There is snot all over 'cause as they climb on the couch (Aiden) he rubs his nose on it, Emily is using anything she can find, including her jammies, and Aiden is coughing something terrible. They both have diahreah too. All I have hear all morning is "Mommy, wipe my butt!", "Mommy, wipe my nose!". Plus, I have a sore throat and am so tired from being up with her. I so see a nap for us today!


I need to really stay strong to stay on plan today. It is so hard when both kids are sick to not get overwhelmed and lose it, ya know? I don't think we're going to make it to my mom's this weekend. Camping with sick kids will be a miserable experience!


Karen, if you want to, you can come and use my phases, and I can give you your own laptop to use, and you can take care of us 3 sickies too, LOL! :) I hope there isn't much damage and all is free to fix!

Yo Yo.

It's my nine o clock break at work and I admit I have only had a few ozs of water today (while trying to get to my car this morning so not to be late!). I am so going to fill up my water bottle once I finish writing this. I just realized come fall I'm going to either having to start posting here at 7am, or at 5pm, unless I can get to a computer lab during my break at ten, cause of classes. I don't want to leave here cause then, bye bye weight loss, and that's no joke, I'm really good at getting distracted. whooops.

My day so far is eh... I have one little piece of the yard left, but its still raining. (It started raining on me yesterday.) I want it mowed by saturday, but the weather isn't agreeing with me. I think God is explaining to me, this is what I get when I put things off for so long. *sigh*

I haven't gotten to the gym this week. (very bad) However, I think I have a cold, I'm sooo tired and my stomach will randomly hurt every now and again. I don't get sick-sick, when I'm sick, I just go under the weather. Come next week I need to get back on my game, because I WANT TO LOSE 5LBS MORE BY AUG 16th. (I move in to the apt then.)

Karen - Sorry to hear about your phase and power outage. A whole half of a suburb was down yesterday morning because of the T-storms here. (luckily we are out of town). Hopefully it gets fixed soon. And hopefully there's no more damage.

Cyliecat (I really should know your name, sorry, I'm tired) - Great job on going to the blood drive. I have a friend whos a vegitarian and she always has an iron count too low to give blood, but she still goes to see if she can. Out of the 11 times she's gone in, she could only give blood 4. Sorry to hear about Bill, sadly I've done the same type thing before, but that was more due to being at the gym too long (3 hours) vs lifting too much. I hope you have fun at the gym, and beef stew sounds really good right now.

sylvester888 (someone should just shoot me for the name thing today!) - I'm not a big biker, but it's a great way of transportation and exercise. Right now we have this thing called RAGBRI going on, where they go from one side of the state to the other, crazy. Good luck on drinking water, I have a hard time drinking alot of water as well. I hope your driveway work goes well!

Dawn - Sorry to hear about your kids. That bites. I hope your sore throat goes away. Don't do to much, I'd hate for you to get sick too! Chicken noodle soup is healthy, lol. Hope the rest of your day goes well, maybe they will all be completely well by tomorrow morning or something. :-)


Anyway, I'm out, break's over.


Still holding ten, more or less - with the way I've been this week, I'm very happy it hasn't gone up! :-D

Enjoy the Simple.
