Bikini Ready?

Okay, maybe that's a little far fetched, we'll say swimsuit. LOL My good friend just had her regular revelation that she's fat and is headed back to dieting. It's funny how we all go through that, we're fine one day and the next we have rolls coming out of everywhere and it's time to eat, exercise and go hunting for the best weight loss pills again. I think that it just really sunk in that summer's coming and she may or may not have to wear a bathing suit this year. LOL I haven't owned nor worn one of those in forever and I totally don't plan n it either. I am looking forward to the consistent weather and school to be out so we can use the track down the street any time we want to.

New Jeans

If you're a woman you know how hard it is to find a good pair of jeans. I bought a couple at Gap a while ago and they are the worst things ever now. After I wash them and wear them for like an hour they stretch out and I'm constantly yanking them back up again. I would have gone a size smaller but I don't think I could fit in them TO stretch them out. LOL! So, I've been searching high and low (again) for affordable jeans and found some cute Hudson jeans on bluefly. The neat thing (because I'm so short) is that they have a variety of rises so I won't be freaking out that I can't bend over or my fat will be hanging over the edges. The prices were pretty good so I'm definitely gonna have to keep this one in mind.

Going Green-ish

I just read something about an African fruit tree that has a lot of benefits to it and found it really interesting. It's definitely going to be utilized as the next hot ingredient in natural slimming pills. I'm glad that the natural things are becoming more popular. It takes a lot of worry off people that feel like they would help them. Actually, I could use them too but that's another story (that I'm sure you'll end up hearing sooner than later).

OUCH!!!

My tendinitis, tennis elbow or whatever the heck it is that's wrong with me has really been acting up lately. I'd bet that it has a lot to do with me sleeping improperly since No-No refuses to stay in her bed. I swear that within an hour of her being put in her bed she's up and right back in our's. It drives me crazy! There's a store that sells medical equipment nearby and I think I'll be headed there soon. I hope there's some sort of sleeve or something that can help. I end up in the worst pain that I can't even really describe other than that I think my tendons are swelling. It really sucks!

Single or Dual Purpose?

I STILL need a new camera and have hit a dilemma. Do I buy a regular point and shoot camera or do I save up for a digital camcorder that can also take stills? It would be nice to have motion since Yes-Yes never stands still but I'm not sure I can wait that long. LOL Since mine died I've been using my stepdad's and I think he's rather annoyed that I "stole" his, so I need to get something of my own soon. Really I don't even see why he needs one anyway, he hardly uses it and when he does the pictures never come out good at all. Ugh, decisions, decisions...

Age Difference

When I got pregnant with No-No I had mixed feelings about the age difference between she and Yes-Yes. On one hand she is a lot younger so I don't have to deal with two little kids at once but on the other hand they are so far apart that I wasn't sure if they would bond but at the same time he'd be old enough to wanting to do his own thing.

Let-me-tell-you...if you can help not having such a big gap between your kids take it! I am seriously out of my mind trying to deal with a hormonal teen and cranky toddler! Never in my life did I think I would be a mother let alone have SO many different mood swings all at once. Add to that my mother and her craziness, DH and his craziness and my own stress. I'm a mess! I cannot wait until this part is over.

The "New" Beater

DH traded the car with a friend for a (much) older car. There's a number of reasons why it was a good idea like the ample amount of room, a trunk that works and the ability to sell it since there is a problem with the other car's mileage meter. The bad parts are that it required a lot more work and money than we expected and the insurance went way up. Now we have to change providers but it's so much easier to get a quote now because we can just go online to a site like carinsurancelist.com or something that has them all in one place. I've never had to do this before so wish me luck. LOL

Clean it Out!

No matter how hard I've tried I can't get my stepdad to clean out the garage and basement. I hate having to deal with piles of junk every time I need to get something. We'd have a ton of more room if he'd get rid of the industrial equipment that came with the house. He thinks that it's worth something but he's not even trying to sell it and when he had a couple of offers he wouldn't budge on the price. It's SO annoying! I think I need to get some TV show in here and make him realize what a bunch of junk it really is to us.
