I'm not sure why...but that cracks me up

I currently have on dressy sweatpants (if that is even possible) with a fleece sweater.

Yes, she is quite the stylin' mama now! See you in a bit.

Well, I guess I am dressed better than when I had on my old pajama pants & ripped sweatshirts (my outfit the morning I went to Kmart!). Now, my work outfits are going to be styling! I got rid of all the old stuff that didn't fit right or looked worn. I will look better than I have in 10 years (the last time my sister stocked a wardrobe for me).

Yeah Kristine! I don't know what was there in between but I like the teapot and the Boston sky line.

Here you go... Boston Harbor at sunset

another Bill story....

we are working with a Chinese couple looking for a home...their English is not very good at all...so several hours of house hunting was quite humorous...but my favorite part is when Bill was trying to communicate the number 200,000. The gentleman couldn't understand at all...and Bill keeps saying the word TWO louder and louder...and finally he says, "Dos, Dos"

I had to leave the room....

I just looked at some gorgeous pictures of this years' festival. We want to go sometime!

I hope you ladies had a wonderful time!!

Let us know when you are bringing the babies and we will be there!

Lunch was just terrific, as usual. I wonder if the two of us got together more often if we would still sit and yak for hours.... probably!

I stand by my statement...the tea pot is still better

Ah, but we will never know what she looks like in her new clothes because she won't do a fashion show.

You and me both! I don't know if I could afford to go out with them though!

Has anyone here had kidney stones? I went to work Friday and could barely move my back. I never thought a thing about it, becuase I have back issues. But when I worked on Saturday, I could tell the pain was in my back, wasn't my back. I went to the Dr. and he's an idiot. But he ordered blood work and did an ekg, so I'm somewhat happy. He never asked me what I was there for. Finally he asked me what prescriptions I wanted refilled and I told him it had to do with the pain in back. He just kept telling me to stretchs for my back if I'm not better in a month to come back. I'm sure I saw his medical certificate hanging on the wall. I'll just give it some time for the blood work to get through and go see the other Dr. in the office.

I was just wondering what symptoms to look for.

I had a kidney stone once but can be of no help. It was found during a routine exam. I was scheduled for a lithotripsy (put you in a tub of water and they zap it ultrasonicly). Well, it moved, I didn't have any pain, doctor was upset I didn't call, had to move it back up using a stink to where they could do the litho. It is outpatient where they find you a bed in the hospital somewhere for the night. Get up in the morning, they pull the stint out, and I'm in the most excruciating pain of my life (but not in my back). Probably like childbirth but never ending. They gave me shots for the pain. I checked out hoping I could deal with the pain and had to check myself back in. It was horrible! They put the stint back in and that relieved the pain. Never again!!!!! The doctor told me that had never happened to him in 1000's of procedures. He explained that the problem was probably that when they pulled the stint out, all the little fragments tried to pass through together making the stone bigger with air pockets (like pouring sugar in a funnel too fast and it gets stuck).

I swear that it would have just passed with no pain. I've probably had more of them since with no pain. Never again!

I need to go read that

you do. And because of all his pictures I was able to show Bob that there are many things on that menu that he will enjoy!

Elizabeth, I've been thinking of you all day. I have officially gone off the deep end and baked SIX boxes of cake mix today!!!

24 French Vanilla cupcakes for Alyssa's play date/open gym luncheon on Thursday

24 yellow cupcakes for Alyssa's classmates (afternoon preschool) on Thursday

24 Funfetti cupcakes for Alyssa's Fancy Nancy party on Saturday

2 ten inch Funfetti round cakes that will be used for Alyssa's birthday butterfly cake on Thursday night and another butterfly cake for a family celebration on Sunday

2 ten inch chocolate round cakes for Kevin's youngest brother for the family April birthday celebration on Sunday

2 ten inch yellow round cakes for Kevin's other brother for our family April birthday celebration on Sunday

Everything's going in the freezer to be frosted later. And now I have butter softening to whip up two batches of cut-out cookie dough later tonight.

I am INSANE!!!

In between all the baking, Alyssa and I hit the Carters store and spent $50 on some adorable froggie clothes and a frog plush for Noah. That will be his "theme" for his 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month pictures. (We tracked Alyssa's growth with a stuffed bunny and Matty's growth with a stuffed duck.) Jen, I have a spend $50, save 20% coupon good for April, if you'd like it. I'm not allowed to go back there.

Now I'm going to step away from the sugar and grill some pork chops for dinner.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

Yes, I agree with Kristine. The teapot is much nicer!

Ah, but we will never know what she looks like in her new clothes because she won't do a fashion show.

I wondered when that was going to come up again! I plan on doing a fashion show for Chuck tomorrow so that he can help me put some "outfits" together. I'll have him take pictures. All the clothes are clean now. I love looking in my dresser and closets. They look so fresh and not overcrowded!

I had a productive day. I got lots of laundry done and went to the grocery store to fill my empty shelves. I spent $400 on groceries. Why is it that I think nothing of spending $400 on food that will last a month or so but stressed over spending $400 on clothes for myself that will last a couple of years? Mom ended up paying for the clothes but still, I don't understand myself.
