You Want Me to What?

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:45:00 +0000

So I've been talking to my mom lately...she wants to start losing weight with me. Maybe a little friendly competition? lol. She wants to find some weight loss supplements that work, and she wants ME to find them....of course. I'm not sure if should though...I mean wouldn't that be helping my competition? hahhaa. Sorry mom..find them yourself! She's not very internet savvy though...that's why she asked me about it. I guess I probably should help her. I wouldn't want her to end up with something bad...because knowing her, she probably would..lol. Aaah...Mothers...sigh!

Bored..Bored..Bored

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:30:00 +0000

I'm bored again. I think I get bored easily. I always have, so I guess it's nothing new. I'm sitting here watching Harry Potter, looking at diet pills online, chatting with a friend, and contemplating just going to bed early tonight..lol! The kids are in bed, the quiet time is nice, don't get me wrong, I love it! Sometimes it's boring though....but that's ok. Nothing wrong with boring I guess...well except that it's boring...ok I think I'm rambling now...maybe I should just go to bed..lol.

Fat Day

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:13:00 +0000

I'm having a "fat" day today. I just feel fat. Kind of like a fat blob..lol! I haven't really ate anything too terrible today, but I still feel like crap. Ok the handful of Nutter Butters weren't the best...but besides them..nothing was too bad. I really need to eat a little bit better, I've been doing the treadmill pretty regularly so that's good...I'm thinking of reading some apidexin reviews to see if that's something that would be good to take. I feel like I need a little boost to get me started. I'll be fine though...just having a "fat" day is all..lol.

Family Reunion and the Heat

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:54:00 +0000

Today we went to a family reunion. It was of course outside in the 92 degree heat...FUN! siiigh. It was hot. It wasn't too bad of a time though...we mostly just sat around and talked. OH and we ate..a lot. The food was really good...especially the taco salad...I love me some taco salad! The kids played games and ended up coming home with a handful of suckers, so they were happy...lol! We're home though, and about to put the kids to bed, and then it's quiet time! Oh, do I need some quiet time tonight..lol.

Go Away Light!!! Hiss!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:39:00 +0000

So I was laying in bed today and came to the conclusion that I need new window coverings. The sun was so freaking bright I could not sleep. So I'm thinking some nice new dark faux wood blinds would do the trick nicely. I'd love to lay in bed in the morning and not have the sun burn through my eyelids..lol! That would be nice, huh? I think it would anyway. Not that I would get to sleep in anyways with two kids jumping on me, but hey...it's worth a try...lol!

I'm a Genius

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 23:05:00 +0000

You know those little barcode scanner thingies that people use to register for like baby showers or weddings? I wish I could use one of those to register for groceries..lol...and have people buy them for me..lol! We're short on money this week, so we're going to be eating a lot of the cheap mac and cheese....that's going to get old real quick. So, I was thinking one of those scanners would be nice...lol You could register for groceries and then people could buy them for you for presents...lol. It's genius!

Got to Go!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:27:00 +0000

Ok....I really need to go the store and get some wrinkle cream. The more I sit here and look at my wrinkles, the more irritated I get..lol! So tomorrow I need to fit in a trip to the drug store. I really shouldn't go, I always spend way too much money when I go in there...but I think it's worth it. The wrinkles are screaming at me and I just can't take it anymore..lol! Any wrinkle creams work really good? If you're not to scared to admit you use it..lol...leave me a comment.

So Sleepy

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:16:00 +0000

I've been so tired lately. I could literally nap all day I think, if I wanted to, or had time to. Oh wouldn't that be awesome to be able to nap all day.....*dreamy sigh.* Oh well...one day maybe...when the kids move out...so only 15 years to go..lol! Siiiigh. I need to start going to bed earlier, or taking a hgh supplement, or maybe take up heavy drinking..haha...no I'm kidding, I wouldn't do that. Weeeelll...maaaybe...hahaha..NO...no I won't..I promise.

I Shouldn't of Done That

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:58:00 +0000

What? You ask. Oh, I'll tell you....I shouldn't of looked in the mirror..haha. WHOA....was that ever scary..... Grey hair, dark circles, and yes even wrinkles! Sigh...that's just sad. I'm only 31...I shouldn't have wrinkles...should I? Oh well...I'll just research and find me the best eye cream for wrinkles, and take care of them baby's...hahaha. Gone wrinkles....be gone!!! And don't come back! I won't miss you...lol!

School's out...and I'm going NUTS

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:04:00 +0000

Well school's been out for about a month or so...and I am TOTALLY ready for these kids to go back to school..hahhaha...Please let the next two months go by quickly..PLEASE??? hahaha.. I could very well lose my sanity if it doesn't. I'm going to be rocking and sucking my thumb in a month I think..hahhaa. Oh why can't school be all year round? haha

Weight Loss Goals

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:05:00 +0000

Well it's official....I'm fat...hahaha! Seriously I need to go on a diet! So that's what I'm doing...starting tomorrow! Tomorrow it's back on track to losing about 30 pounds hopefully. I would love to be 30 lbs lighter by the fall, but that might be pushing it. Honestly I would be happy with 20. So tomorrow I'm going to start exercising more ...4-5 days a week...and start eating better and not so much. I need to get a new pair of bathroom scales too. The ones I have now, are not accurate...so I definitely need a new pair. So hopefully in a few months I'll report back saying I lost at least 20lbs ..maaybe more...wish me luck!!!

Home Repairs for the Summer

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:50:00 +0000

Well I have a huge list of things that I want to get done around the house this summer. Trim work, bathroom fixes, lots and lots of lawn work. So that means a trip to the hardware store. I love the hardware store. I know that's weird for a girl to say, but I do...lol! I love looking at all the paint colors and gardening things and even the manly things like nuts and bolts and spring plungers and hammers and screwdrivers... (insert Tim "the tool man" Taylor grunt here) LOL! So..anyways..I have lots to do this summer. Wish me luck!

I'm Baaaack.....

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:40:00 +0000

Hey everyone! I'm still alive. Just been super busy with kid stuff and house stuff and lots of things..lol! I've been trying to get the house more in order lately. Doing lots of cleaning and trying to get a better budget going for the household. I've been trying to use buy.com coupons when it's possible to save some money here and there for different purchases. They're easy to use and you save money...it's a win/win situation. Anyways, I'll be back and posting more now often. Things are settling down and starting to relax more now that's it's summer. So keep checking back! :)

So Tired of Spongebob

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:45:00 +0000

Sure, Spongebob is a nice guy, he's funny, nice, sweet, generous, but I'm sick to death of him and his annoying laugh..lol! I think we've watched it like a million times too many. Which is why I'm considering getting a tv for my daughter's room. I was thinking a flat screen and use some plasma mounts and mount it on the wall, so I wouldn't have to worry about them knocking it over and breaking it. Then....they could go watch cartoons in the bedroom, and us adults could actually have some quiet. Oh and we might actually have a few brain cells left when all is said and done..lol! Seriously, I'm starting to feel like Patrick..hahaha!

Organization Needed...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:29:00 +0000

I have got to get organized around here. I have stacks and stacks of papers sitting everywhere...and it's annoying the heck out of me. I need a better filing system, right now I have 1 box with files that are filled to the brim. It's not working so well..lol! So I think one of my goals this year is to get organized. Get all my papers in one spot, clean out the junk drawer, organize the pics on my laptop better...lots of things need done. I guess I'll just do them one at a time, it will take longer, but it might actually get done that way..lol! Any goals that you are hoping to achieve this year?

Out with the Old

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:06:00 +0000

So, I've been trying to think of some things that can be done around the house to make it look better, and don't cost a fortune. Since some of the bigger projects like, redoing the bathroom, copper sinks, and trim work has been pushed to the back burner, but I can't think of anything. Well, I did want to replace the old yucky curtains in the living room. I even bought a nice new curtain rod, but couldn't find curtains that I liked. So, maybe I'll have to look for those again...I'm sure there's new stuff out by now. I also want to get a new rug for the living room, and a new bedding set. Well, I guess that's a start huh? lol!

Bonkers!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:03:00 +0000

I swear if I survive parenting my children it's going to be a miracle. They are driving me bonkers! Not listening, running, yelling....I feel like I live in a zoo...lol! Luckily for me they are getting a bath in a few minutes and going to bed! Thank goodness! Finally some peace and quiet. It's amazing how tired and stressed you can get just from listening to the them..lol! I love em, but good grief..you need a break sometimes. That's when I lock myself in the bathroom for 15 minutes..hahahha.....hey! It helps! try it! LOL!

Time Flies

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:59:00 +0000

I can't remember if I've mentioned it before or not, but my niece is graduating this year....wow do I feel old...lol! I was talking to her the other day and she was talking about ordering her photo graduation invitations and it hit me that she was really graduating...wow..time flies..lol! Before you know my little ones will be graduating, that's scary to think about. I know it's going to happen, but it's crazy to think about...lol! They grow up so fast!

Healthy in the New Year

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 04:13:00 +0000

Well its a new year....time to get busy and lose some weight! I managed to lose about 30 lbs last year and I hope to continue that this year. I'm hoping to lose at least 40 or so this year. This last year my hubby and looked at a bunch of different treadmills, picked one that was in our price range and was a good quality, bought it, and brought that sucker home! I used it for a long time, but the last month or so I've really slacked off, so I need to get my butt back on there. I also need to come up with some healthier meals and set some mini goals. Ugh so much to do.....all worth it in the end though! I hope everyone has a healthy, happy new year!

A bunch of Sicky's

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:31:00 +0000

So the last few weeks it seems like everyone around my house has been sick, except my husband. He apparently has some kind of super human immune system. He never gets sick, it's kind of annoying almost. Everyone is finally feeling well, so I am thinking a trip out as a family would be fun. I'd like to take the kids and go to the mall, so they can play at the playland(ya know the playland that is probably a hot steaming pile of germs...yeah that one...LOL). So, needless to say I'm a little nervous. I do have a bunch promotional hand sanitizers that I got at a party, so those will definitely be going with us. Hopefully we can have a fun day out, and come home illness free....wish us luck! lol!

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:25:00 +0000

Well it is now 2010!!! I can't believe it. Time just flies by when you're having fun I guess. I am hoping that this next year will be a good one. I'm hoping to lose some weight(who isn't?), pay off some bills, get some stuff organized, and just have a fun year with my family. So here's to a great New Year for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Diamond in the Rough...Maybe..

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:28:00 +0000

I found this great little store online that sells nice wooden toys. Its a very small company that is just starting out, but there stuff looks really nice. I think I will give them a little bit longer before I order something, just to see if they might expand there merchandise. They are obviously just starting out. Yesterday was the first day they added merchant services so you can order online with a credit card. So....they are very new...lol! If I end up ordering something, I will definitely tell you how it goes and if the toys are as good as they appear to be. *Crossing my fingers*

Just a Few More Months....

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:11:00 +0000

I can't wait until tax return time. I was just sitting here thinking about it. I know it's still several months away, but I can dream..lol! This year we are paying off bills and/or catching up on bills. It will be a huge relief. Of course we will probably take a little bit of it and buy a few things we've been wanting to get, but most will go to bills. Which I am happy about. I can't wait to get caught up!

The few things we will be getting though are 1) our dog fixed. 2) a mat for under our desk chair from a office furniture store. 3) new curtains and a rug for the living room. That's pretty much it I think. I am really looking forward to the rug for the living room. We have hardwood floors and it will be nice to have a cushy spot to walk on..lol! I'm hoping it will catch some of the dust bunnies too. So do you have any plans yet for tax return? Or am I the only one thinking about it already..lol!

Creepy!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:01:00 +0000

Ok...I spend a LOT of time on Facebook. I play several games on there that require a good amount of time and commitment. One of them is Farmtown. In Farmtown you grow your own farm. You start out with a very small farm with a few plots and and as you move up in levels you can expand your farm...mine is the largest one you can get now. You plow, plant, and harvest your crops. If you don't want to harvest and plow, you can hire one of your neighbors(friends) to do it or you can hire someone from the marketplace. The marketplace is where you go to hire someone, or find a job. Its basically a chatroom....your little avatars enter the room and you can walk them around, talk to people and get hired. You can also click on the people to add them as a buddy. I have a lot of buddies and am always accepting new ones...this is where it got weird the other day.

I accepted a buddy request from a person. Well the person started messaging me every time I would get on Farmtown. Asking how I was, what I was doing. He said he was 9 years old. At first I bought it, but a few things he said made me question it. Well I saw in my facebook notifications where he sent me a message ...again...well the name does not match up and I'm pretty sure he's not 9! How creepy is that! To have some 40 year old guy messaging you, while pretending to be a child! Weirdo Alert! I have obviously been ignoring him, and am hoping he loses interest and moves on to someone else...although I feel sorry for that person..lol! Ugh..why do all the creepy people seem to find me?

Bored to Death...

noreply@blogger.com (Jen) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:42:00 +0000

I've been laying on the couch for three days now. Luckily I have a laptop or I would of went crazy by now. I have spent the last three days on the internet....either on facebook playing games, on a weight loss forum that I frequent quite often, or looking up random stuff because I was just plain bored. I've looked up Christmas stuff, music, ordered some movies, I even looked up a cad drawing for a drill..that was for the hubby obviously..lol! Oh and I also slept a LOT! I blame that on the pain meds though, they make me very sleepy. I guess it's not a bad thing though...at least I wasn't in pain while I was sleeping..lol! See there's a bright side to everything...
