My niece is in here somewhere. I didn't find her till the very end and it looks like she's picking her seat. LOL Congrats to the Fame PeeWees! I guess they're world's best champions or something. I don't really understand it at all. We don't have cheerleading around here like that. The amount of money my sister dumps into it is astronomical! Plus I hate that they make these babies wear gaudy makeup! There. I said it. My sister will never respond when I write and ask about the makeup. This cheerleading group starts at 3 years old (me niece is 7) and they have to wear all this makeup. Insane! So if someone reads this who's involved in cheerleading somehow, please explain this to me! I also have a problem with the hoochie momma costumes, but I'll save that for another day. ;)

Weekend
2007-05-30 11:06:00
We had a fantastic weekend. I have pictures (did you have any doubts? hehehe) and will share a few later. We did do some more biking at the same place as this pic. But, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I got any of us like that pic. Oh wait, while on that bikeride, we went by some stables where Youngest Princess got to go on a pony ride. Made her day. So I did get some pics there. We had great weather for the most part. Sunday and Monday got a little cooler because of the wind, but overall, it was a gorgeous weekend.

Time Flies
2007-06-08 23:20:00
Wow! I can't believe I haven't posted since last Wednesday and I totally spaced off this Wordless Wednesday! Time flies when you're having fun, eh? I've actually been able to pick up a few more shifts for job #2 recently, which is good for the checkbook. I miss the time off though. I'm crazy....I'm allowing Oldest Princess to have a sleepover tomorrow night to celebrate the end of the school year. It was going to be 3 friends, but one can't make it so now it's just OP and 2 others.I've also decided to make part of this blog to deal with my weight loss. Yes, I'm trying again to lose weight. I keep just putting on a bit here and there. I now have almost 100 pounds to lose to be at my goal. That number just seems to be astronomical, so I'll need to take it one step at a time. Cause after all, "If It Were Only That Easy", I'd already be at my goal just by wishing it so, right?

Water Water Everywhere...

OK, here I go. I'm going to go get my water to drink. I'm passing up the soda! Yay me!!Oh, if you're a member of Spark People, let me know your username and I'll say hi!!
The Journey Begins
2007-06-11 20:31:00
Well, I'm on this weight loss journey. I've been good and I've been bad. My weaknesses seem to be on the weekend, when I'm home more, I suppose. Anyway, I've been a member of Spark People for about a year now. I started out last year all gung ho and then petered out. I'm hoping this time will be the one that works. Craig and I are planning a trip to Walt Disney World for September 2008 for our 15th anniversary. Yep, our anniversary is in July, but WDW offers free dining in late August/September, so we'll just wait and go then. I never could pass up free food. :wink:

Burn Notice
2007-06-18 18:52:00
During the summer, I get so tired of re-runs. I love it when I find a show that has it's season premiere in the summertime. USA Network's Burn Notice starts June 28. Yay! A new show that looks good for the summertime!The main character, Michael, is a spy who gets a "burn notice". A burn notice is basically saying you're on the "black list" for any agency, but he doesn't know why he's been let go. I got to thinking, I wonder what he could have done!I bet Michael was hot on the trail of a crook named 'Grumpy Gus'. Grumpy Gus was known to frequent the movie theater to see all the new releases. Michael had tracked Gus down and followed him to the theater to see the newest Spiderman movie. Looking through his binoculars, Michael noticed the sign on the door that read, "Help Desperately Wanted--Apply Within!"Michael thought to himself, "hmmm, I could stand to earn a bit of extra dough on the side so I can afford that vacation in the Bahamas I've been dreaming of."

Ugh, it's definitely a Monday
. I worked later than what was scheduled. I stood in line at the bank for over 20 minutes (I swear I've never seen a slower bank), I still have 2 hours of job #2 to do and we got a disconnect notice from the phone company. LOL They must have some new program now that sends out these nice little letters if you didn't pay last month's balance in full. *eyeroll* Oh well, once we pay it, we're going to cancel it anyway since we can use our cells.Yup, it's Monday!
Cheap Cruises
2007-06-17 00:22:00
Are you looking for a cheap cruise? I sure would love to go on a cruise, and if it's cheap, that's even better! In addition to going to Walt Disney World next year for our anniversary, I'd love to take a week and do a Disney cruise. Looking around for Cheap
Cruises, and a cheap Disney cruise can sometimes be daunting, but SkyAuction.com seems to have it covered. They even give you a low price guarantee! Can't beat that!My friend, Donna, has also gone on Carnival Cruises and said how much fun they are. That will also be another option for us to check into. If I recall correctly, Donna has another cruise already booked on Carnival. Hmmm, wonder if they'd mind if we were their neighbors?
Not Too Bad
2007-06-17 00:20:00
Well, I don't think I did too bad today. My eating wasn't too horrible and I've been drinking water tonight. I did have 2 Diet Cokes today, so I need to up my water intake. I don't think that will happen though or I'll be up all night, if you know what I mean. hehehe
First Week Down
2007-06-16 11:20:00
Well, the first week is gone. I lost a pound. Now, granted, that's not gained, so I'll take it! I'll also take it knowing that I wasn't 100% good the whole week! So moving on to next week, wish me luck!!

College Tuition
2007-06-16 09:29:00
Ay, yi, yi. The costs of college tuition are going through the roof! In 5 years, we're going to be paying for that college tuition. Oldest Princess wants to go to Princeton or Harvard. Can we say ka-ching? We're going to be looking at having to get a Federal parent loan for most of her education.I'm really loving that we now have the internet as a resource to look things up. Financialaid.com not only tells about loans in layman's terms, it even has a scholarship finder with over 8,000 programs totaling over $35 million! I remember looking over the bulletin board in high school searching for the few slips of paper with the names of scholarships I might actually qualify for. A website like financialaid.com is a wonderful site to help in that search.From what I remember about my experience with financial aid, everything was on a schedule. This form was due this time, make sure you turned this one in by this date, and don't forget to get this one postmarked by this date. Ugh

Where to Stay in Melbourne
2007-06-22 10:23:00
Ever since high school, I've wanted to travel to Australia. Melbourne
seems so beautiful and has so much to see. Some day I will get there!If you're traveling abroad and looking for Melboune Accomodations from 2 star to 5 star or even last minute, don't worry! Cheaperthanhotels.com.au has an answer for you!You can find furnished apartments or you can even get discounts for groups. Give them a try! I'm sure you'll find somewhere to stay while saving money!
Smart Girl!
2007-06-22 10:20:00
We got Oldest Princess' report card in the mail yesterday. She pulled off straight A's.....again! We're so proud of her! But of course, being the sarcastic parents that we are, we told her we'd talk about her report card when we got in the house and acted like we were less than pleased. Of course, she was on to us. Guess we wouldn't make it in Hollywood, eh?

Garage Organizaation
2007-06-22 09:58:00
One area of our house that really needs attention is the garage. My poor Cherokee has been evicted from the garage since the Christmas decoration boxes have been put out there waiting to move to the attic. These boxes are where the Cherokee is supposed to go because the rest of the garage is so unorganized. I would love to have some garage organization ! I would love to get some cabinets like these. Craig would like them because they look great and are stainless steel. He'd finally have some organization for all his tools!

Weekly Weigh-In
2007-06-22 09:51:00
Well, weigh-in this week was a dud. I didn't gain (Yahoo!!) but I didn't lose either (Boo!!). LOL I'll take it though. Anything other than a gain, I'll take. I've been trying to do more yardwork. Wow, our backyard is just a jungle of weeds. I've now gotten the area around the garden done and am working on the side of the house. We need to get some gravel to put down along the side I think. I'm hoping that will help keep the weeds down a bit.

Laptop Batteries
2007-06-22 22:09:00
I've been on the hunt for new IBM Laptop
Batteries. Every time I use the laptop without being plugged in, it seems the battery lasts even less than the time before. It gets really annoying. I remember when we first got this laptop that the battery would last for over 3 hours. Now I'm lucky if I get half that. Looking at www.lowcostbatteries.com, all the ones they have for my laptop are at a discount! Even the adapter to plug the laptop into the cigarette lighter in the Cherokee is at a discount. Awesome! I love being able to get a discount on the things I have to buy anyway.
How Lame
2007-06-22 21:53:00
How lame am I? It's 7:54pm and here I thought it was probably 9:30 or so. I was going to go to bed and read and fall asleep. LOL I could still do that, but if I go to bed and fall asleep that early, I'll sleep horribly all night long and keep waking up. Anyone got any toothpicks? LOL
My Dream Camera
2007-06-29 09:28:00
After drooling over Eric's pictures and then seeing him use his Canon Rebel XTi, I've decided I really need to be looking at new digital cameras.I would love to have the same as Eric, but I would have to have a few lenses to go with it. Since I take pictures of anything and everything, especially the Princesses, usually in action, I would need a lens for that. I would need a lens for closeup pictures as well. We're also looking at new point and shoot cameras. We have a Kodak one that takes great pictures, but the battery door broke and it's a real pain to try to keep it on with rubber bands. I can't get over how the prices have come down since we bought our Kodak. Way more megapixels for about half the price. I'm definitely going to be checking these out because Oldest Princess is taking a digital photography class at school next year. She loves photography too and has a good "eye" for it. A chip off the old block!Here's a favorite picture I took recently:

Woohoo!Our plan for the day:*take girls to swimming lessons*hang out for a bit*meet my cousin and her little girl at my aunt & uncle's house and go swimming in their pool*get pizza for dinnerOf course, the forecast calls for rain.....but hey as long as it's not lightening, we're already wet, so we may as well swim! ;)
The Police
2007-06-27 19:11:00
Oh my goodness! I'm taken right back to high school! I'm remembering the after football game dances where everyone was dancing (albeit, not so well, but hey, we were having fun!) to Don't Stand So Close to Me and listening to my walkman with my Police
cassette. Every breath you take.....every move you make.... Ahhhh, the memories!Well, guess what? If you've been taken down memory lane like I have, you can get the new 2-disc Police Cd. They released it on June 5 and includes a vintage poster. I love getting free stuff! I could definitely find a place to hang it as the Police aren't hard on the eyes. It has all your favorite Police songs and you can be transported back to the first time you heard Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. It's awesome!Check this out, it's so cool! Roll your mouse over it and see fun things like the track listings, videos, tour dates, enter the contest, ringtones and you can even listen to full-length songs from the CD: Isn't that fun? So

Windy!
2007-06-26 21:33:00
Boy the wind really picked up this afternoon/evening. The fence between our house and the neighbors blew down over the winter sometime. It still hasn't been fixed, but they propped it up. Well, I'm sitting here with the patio door open and watching it. It's blowing back and forth and creaking. LOL I'm sure if this wind keeps up for any amount of time, the fence will be blown over and propped against my garden. But....I just looked at it and it's leaning in towards their yard, so who knows? LOL
