Oh no! Today is the day of the big party! Ickypoo! Sarah bought all her groceries last night, and got her brain organized around what she has to do when she gets home from work this afternoon. Apparently, we’ll be having a variety of sleepover guests (the kids from other towns)… the rest we’ll drive home if necessary. Would someone tell me how it is that I agreed to this??? Oh yes!!! I remember! My husband has a BIG MOUTH! I’ll keep you updated on the daily happenings.

Kellea, that is such a well deserved honor! I love your spring look BTW! (domain… diamond… so I stuck another D in there… big deal!)

Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 30, 1981, President Reagan was shot and seriously injured outside a Washington D.C. hotel by John W. Hinckley Jr. Also wounded were White House press secretary James Brady, a Secret Service agent and a police officer.

Well I’m driving down to Mom’s for a day of shopping and lunch. I haven’t seen her in months… how bad is that!!! She live 50 miles away!

So! I think I’m actually finally feeling like I’m over the worst of this darn bronchitis! How absolutely annoying! I haven’t had one single sick day all year, and now I’ve been sick, and practically in bed for the whole of Spring break! (I know, I’m whining, and in the big scheme of life, this is a very minor thing I had so many ambitious plans for spring cleaning, and workouts, etc. Oh well, it will still all be waiting for me later. I have managed to get a few things done, but not very darn much!

Hubby has been selected to go to California in May for a special project through work. I believe he is going down to train their diversity leaders (don’t ask). He is just gone May 1 and 2. He’s been hoping for a long time to get chosen, so he was pretty pumped about it! He’s also doing great in the weight loss department. He’s lost 35 pounds, is pretty well to goal, and managed to run 3 miles yesterday. He’s also lifting weights to get rid of his “man-boobs”. Trouble is… mine are turning into man boobs with the weight I’ve lost and the workouts I’ve been doing. Why can’t I hook a hose from my panties to my bra, and do a bit of fat transference?? I could suck some out of my thighs, put it into my boobs, and I’d be pretty well built!!! Sounds like a winner to me!

Sarah is having her 18th birthday party here on Saturday night. I told her it could be invite only, grade 12’s only, and no minors, as I wasn’t going to responsible for having under-age kids drinking in my house, was not going to make that choice for other parents. So… she’s got a list of 35-40 of her “closest” friends! God help my house! We will be home, but I think she believes we’re all going to lock ourselves in our bedroom for 12 hours while this party takes place! Ha! I only promised not to sing!

Diane I’m so sorry to hear of this heart-breaking outcome! Sending continued strength, hugs and prayers your way.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm Kellea Got a New Diamond. Now what’s up with that???? Could it be??? Gina I’m glad you and your daughter are feeling better! Thanks for all your well-wishes the past week! Pssssssssst… okay… you can tell me…”What’s up with Kellea???

Today I felt so much better. Still not the least bit healthy, but such an improvement! I caught up on my computer reading, and even doing that made me break out in a sweat! But Sarah and I still decided to go shopping. I found two wonderful pairs of Capris pants and a couple of knit tank tops. I’m down a size in pants and tops!! WHOO HOO!! These capris are the comfiest things I’ve had on since my pajama pants! They’re quite stretchy, so they should be really nice for work, as I do so much bending and reaching and crawling around shelving books, etc. We also made a trip to our favorite store, La Senza, and bought some great new silky pjs and some summer boxer/tank jammies. We bought groceries on the way home and came home a bbq’d chicken for dinner. I’m exhausted now, and really feeling the “disease” again, so I’m on my way to bed. I just wanted to catch up with people for the day!

Best & Worst / MSN’s Guide to the Academy Awards

“Ellen Burstyn did something that not many actresses would do for a role in a movie. She made herself look 30 pounds heavier and 20 years older. And Russell Crowe still hit on her.”

–Martin, lucky that Crowe didn’t hit him

I managed to stay awake through the entire Oscars last night! That’s quite an accomplishment for me, as TV is my greatest “sleep aid”! It was not so bad! I got the distinct impression that Russell Crowe didn’t appreciate Steve Martin’s joke directed at him! hehehe TUFF! I decided after watching last nights’ show, that I don’t like Russell Crowe! He looks mighty fine, but his personality didn’t impress me at all last night. The dress of the night was absolutely this one! OMG! She even had an egg under there! ewwwwwww

Some interesting search strings… “braless”, “grad dresses”, “Nanny Goats Opera”, “when is Valentines Day?” … to which I say oh DUH!

Daily Chaos is a new read for me! One of my best online buds! Welcome to blogging! Sorry I haven’t been around! I’ve been sick too!

I haven’t been on the computer for 2 days! (Shows how wonderful I’m feeling) I’ve stuck pretty close to my bed. I stumbled out to do some shopping on Friday afternoon, and out to Ben’s hockey game yesterday afternoon, but that’s about it! Hopefully this will be gone for good soon! I am really missing being able to work out! (much to my surprise)! I may attempt some Yoga and weights today. I’m now down 27.5 pounds, so I don’t want to lose the momentum!

WHOOO HOOO!! That’s awesome news!!!! Wow! Nice new look!
