Back from Maine! Met all of my hubbys fam. Loved them! good times all around...
and i'm kind of bored at work today, cuz i don't have enough work! grr
Truant! Truant they'll all say!
yay!
So today is the last day of the trial. Hope things go well. We have the conclusions of the lawyers and then the jury goes out and decides how things should go.
i hope everything goes well-i'll say a prayer for you. keep us posted.
Word....so we officially move into our very first Arizona residence on Friday. I'm SOOOO excited!!! There's more room than I thought (hint, hint, for all you's who ever want to visit when the winter there is AWFUL)....and I LOVELOVELOVE my new bedroom!! The brother that lived there did professional faux finishing, and not too long ago, he painted their bedroom a beautiful venetian plaster, in a red color, with bronze and orange tones, kind of giving it a Moroccan feel. The master bathroom is venetian plaster too, only in a cream color.
So now I have to figure out how to subtly carry that Moroccan theme throughout the house, without making it tacky.
Ok crafty ladies.....mentally design with me!!! :)
wowwwwwieeee!! congrats, K! This is wonderful, I'm really happy for you.
Good luck with all your new project: OPERATION: Moroccan Theme Permeation.
PS-why do you only ask the ladies for help?
Hey any guy who has ideas....bring em on!! Hahaha....normally though it's just the ladies who pipe up....but hey, I'm open for suggestions.
I'm so excited for you!
You guys definately deserve some real r+r after you're all settled in, don't want 'cha burning out on us ;)
Yeah, r+r is good...hope it happens soon. Hahaha....BTW, Adam LOVES the stuff you put for him in the basket...he says thank you very much!! :)

No more talk! DOOOOOO it!!!!!
OMG i thought you said "faux FISHING" i'm like "ewww what the heck" LOL ok i'm going to email you....i LOOOOOVE the moroccan look...
I only think of walking on the pier in Newport with the fishermen, and getting spalshed with FISH WATER!!! EWWWWW!!! Hahahaha.
Oh, and my email address has changed. It's kgabardy@gmail.com
OMG HAHAHAHAHA OMG that was SO gross...member how grossed out we were? i was SO ready to hurl....LOL
Hmmm...I may need to make a trip to Arizona one day.
AAAAKKKIIIIRRRRAAAAAA! TEETTTTSSSSUUUUOOOOO!
Yo......ok, so I started this diet thingy to basically "detox" my system from all the crap I've been ingesting for years.....it's the end of day one....and I've already cheated. Twice.
So big cheat?(HagenDaz Icecream bar?)
Strict diet? (i.e. cayanne pepper & lemon?)
The diet consists mainly of fruits, nuts and veggies....except no fruits with loads of sugar, and no veggies with starch, like potatoes and such.
And you can only eat fruit that amounts to 1/3 of the veggies you eat in a day....except for apples, which you can have as many of, as often as you want.
But no sugars, like sodas, candy, chips, crackers....no starch, like bread, pasta, etc.
Did I mention this diet lasts TWO WEEKS??!!!??!!!
It's not as bad or as restrictive as it sounds though....you can have things like hummus, peanut butter (as long as it is ONLY made of peanuts....no additives)....I made a trip to "Sprouts", which is like Wild Oats, and I stocked up today. So the desire to cheat should be less tomorrow.
Oh, and I didn't cheat THAT bad....just one soda, and a fruit roll-up thingy (made from 100% natural fruit juice).
Oh, and you can have proteins like tuna, shrimp or eggs once throughout the day too, if you feel like you'e getting weak or dizzy.
weak or dizzy, oh my!
Oh...and no dairy. At all.
Now, after typing all this and seeing it all printed out in front of me, I find myself asking what the point of this stupid diet is?
Well have you tried it before? Or somebody you know? How did you/they feel after the initial shock to your/their system?
All my inlaws tried it and had success. THey felt great after day 3, I think. I know I NEED to do it, because of all the tummy troubles I always have, but giving up my starches and sugar is like letting go a member of my family...it just hurts too much.
*tear*
Sounds... not that heinous! The cleanse that is :-P
so your 'one soda' caffeinated? sugar laden?
the fruit leather while concentrated sugar is definitely acceptable as a first day cheat. :-)
BTW your story about your wisdom teeth, ugh-ewee, so sorry, but it has been the only time I felt good about getting mine out early, thanks.
It was a root beer....no caffiene, but sugar galore.
I haven't said the worst part though....the diet is to cleanse the liver....which means...dun-dun-DUNNNNNNN,.......NO ALCOHOL!!!!!! Ugh.....so yeah...we'll see how long this lasts, hahaha.
Yeah, all my wisdom teeth were impacted, but the crazy thing is, what infected the one so I had to get it out, is that they had just started to scratch the surface to "erupt", so to speak, and I was eating chips and salsa. A stupid point of a tortilla chip scratched the heck out of the area where my tooth was coming up, and it never healed, and only got worse, until the dentist told me about the infection and that they needed to come out.
Yippee.
Moral of the story kids....junk food hurts, teeth maintainance is a pain in the booty, and apparently even after you fix a problem, it can just be a precursor to an even bigger one. Ugh. Gotta love the lymph nodes.
where'd you find the info on this diet, i've been thinking about doing something like this. can you send me where you got everything from.
I was totally stoked to try this until I read the no alcohol part, but I still might think about it.
you guys can't go 2 weeks without alcohol?!?!
i think it's been like a month since i had a drink and i'm fine with it lol
hmm oh yeah i forgot i had a margarita at dinner the other day
but yeah c'mon TWO WEEKS?
Hahaha....normally we can go without....but we're under stress here! Hahaha, j/k.
It's just a lot to give up all at once.
2 weeks, i can barely go 2 days.
does that make me an alcoholic?
No....it makes you me. Hahaha.
I actually have it all in a packet my mother in law gave me....I can see if she found it online, or somewhere else....I'll get it to you, though.
thanks :-)
I started this diet on Monday. I cut out caffeine, alcohol, bread and most sugar. What makes it the hardest is that I'm a FIEND for energy drinks. I always drink the sugar-free ones, but its the no caffeine that's killing me...I have had massive headaches for the past 2 days and I think its going to burst, but so far, I haven't really cheated...It really sucks though.
oh snap, yeah i couldn't go without caffeine for more than .. 2 hours
the withdrawal headaches are the worst!!! and they can last up to 10 days!!
WHOA you weigh like 5lbs and you're dieting? what the??? lol
Not to lose weight, hahhaha. THis diet cleanses the liver and basically detoxes you from all the sugars and impurities your body takes in through food, and supposedly you feel tons better afterwards. Although the other members of my family lost a bunch of weight on it.
Koo Koo :-P 1st Post!
