me...on a diet

Well....I joined WW online. Its official...I'm on a diet. I never realized how much I eat sweets in a day....its crazy. No wonder I wasn't losing weight. My version of a Mocha is worth about 13 points on weight watchers.....I'm not sure anymore if it is worth it.

Anywhooo.....I saw this video on youtube. LOL.....poor dog. I get the same look in my eyes when I see sweets while on WW.

He said...she said...

Its becoming quite apparent that Guliano is having a more prominent influence on our youngest daughter Fiorella, now that he is on parental leave and is home all day. Especially with her vocabulary.
Here is what Fiorella has been saying this past week:

"What the hell is on his face dad?!?!" - Watching Diego "bugs" & seeing a bug with large mandibles coming out its face

"Geez...its Frikken cold out here!!!" - getting into the van at -36

"Jesus Christ thats hot!" - after being served homemade cheese pizza

"Holy shit mom...you're up!" - Seeing Nicola & I out in the living room already at 7am...we usually get up later

"Crap...I dropped it." - after she dropped her sammich

"Holy shit....my legs are tired. Can you carry me?" - walking around the hospital trying to find her lil brothers' Dr's office

"What the hell is going on down there??" - yells down the stairs when I asked her to call downstairs & ask what her sisters were arguing about

"Goddamn my nose hurts." - telling me her nose still hurt after she fell

"Where the hell are my barbies?" - after Mercedes & her friend snuck off with her barbies

"Christ....who farted?" - after our dog Bugzy let out a rank fart

*sigh* I just hope she isn't saying these things in preschool.

And this one time.....

I have a confession.



I'm still a frequent lurker on a wedding-planning chat forum from back when I was planning our wedding. I joined this wedding forum called Weddingbells back in either Dec 2005 or Jan 2006. We were married Aug 2007. Yet...I....*deep breath* STILL visit this forum daily. We're going to celebrate our 2nd anniversary this year....and I'm still on this forum.





Its bad...well....no...its quite good actually. The addiction is bad. The feeling like a loser is bad. I need to leave & not go back.....and I can't!!!!! When I was in the hospital giving birth to my son...and the few days we stayed in.....I kept wondering what was going on in "WB-land".



Its crazy. I need to let go. I've signed onto other forums & yet....I keep going back.



So to help me let go.....I'm going to do a Pros & Cons list.



Pros:

-I can go to any city in Canada, or go to San Fran, NYC, Austria, Australia and a few other countries....and meet up for lunch with strangers...yet 'know' them quite well from my years on WBs.

* I met up with ladies already from Saskatoon, Regina, Toronto, Edmonton & PA.



-I can get a good cross-canada opinion on any topic, at any time.

* Like when I was thisclose to being suckered into blue velvet swag living room curtains.



-There's a great support system on WBs.



-There's usually good entertainment that can kill an hour or so.



-There's a few book clubs, mommy clubs, fitness clubs, ect..its not just about weddings.



-I can 'shop' in another city with the help & trust of a WBer who will ship my purchases to me...and we've never met & yet I have no issue sending her money to shop for me.



-I've met great friends there.



-I get a gift & card mailed to me every month from one of the other ladies on WBs





Cons:

-I start too many sentances with: "And this one time on WBs...."



-I call ladies I've never met or talked to in real life, my 'friends'.



-I have more 'friends' on WBs than I do in real life.



-I think my opinion really matters on WBs, when really it doesn't....they'd be just fine without me



-I'm too involved in people's lives....and I've nver met these people



-My wedding was 2 years ago



-I feel like a loser when I make reference to something that has happened on WBs to the people in my life



-Its embarassing telling a seating hostess that you need help finding your friends' table at a luncheon....because you don't know what these friends actually look like



-My Husband asks me: Do you mean your real friends, or your WBs friends....when I tell him a story.



-As I'm typing/chicken-pecking....I have WBs open on another window....just in case.

So there you have it. My secret confession of the day. Which reminds me.....this one time, on WBs...there was a 'secrets' thread & then someone started a not-so-secret-secret thread where they told secrets under their real names....LOL...jk...sort of.

Ponder of the day...

Is it just me......or is the theme song on Dawson's Creek different on DVD than it was on TV??

I'm almost positive it is different. Mind you...for all I know they actually changed the song starting in Season 3. I bought myself seasons 3 & 5....which totally cleaned out Walmart of their selection. So its killing me....did they change the song on TV...or just the DVDs?? Why???

I was just going to ask this question & sign off.....but while I'm here....I'll let you in on a few secrets. Dawson has always driven me nuts.....its his constant whining & how he feels the world revolves around him. I don't like him.....yet I love the series. I just put up with him. I think Jen sort of walks like a man. Yet she's so cute. Joey is my fav....I love her constant bad mood....lol....she makes me think of a line from Steel Magnolias "....I've just been in a very bad mood for the last 40 years." Bwa-hahahahhaha....gotta love the sarcasm of the series. And...lastly....I've had a secret crunch on Pacey for ever. He's kinda homely & self-defeatist....and yet...I still crunch after him. LOL....and as 30 something year old....& him a teen in the series.....it kinda makes me feel like a pervy.

So back to my original quest....whats with the song?? Anyone know?? Uhhh....does anyone actually read my blog besides my sister Amanda & myself?? LOL....Amanda....I know you don't know either so don't call me & tell me you don't know. LOL.

A new post for a new year

Its now January 2009.

Amazing. Since I've become an adult, I'm not sure where the time goes. It still feels like I just turned 20. In fact I am 32...and a housewife with 4 children. It totally blows my mind sometimes. I'm not sure when I became an adult....but surely I am. My drivers licesce say so.

I will say that being an adult is not the same as being a grown up. Because sometimes I still wonder what I will do when or what I want when I grow up. LOL....yah...I know...sound slike denial right? Well maybe it is. Whatever. I look around my house and I think about how I would like to decorate when I'm a grown up. I have all these ideas about nice ornaments, nice wall hangings, nice furniture.....right now my house is decorated in the style of: exploded toy box. Just as a nice added touch we've also decorated with a touch of: never-ending laundry & dishes.

Martha Stewart would walk in my house & have a heart attack.

Anywhoo......I'm not really sure what I'm talking about...I just like to rabble. Which is nice for this because I'm sure I'm the only one who reads this....so I can be as lame as I want to be right? Oh speaking of lame....I only just figured out the spell check. Doesn't mean I'll use it. But I found it.

I guess I should reflect on the past year...what I've learned, the good-the bad-the ugly...and as per usual...I'll do a list!



Here is my list of what I've learned this past year:

• No matter how much you beg, they will not put an epidural in your neck.


• There comes a time when your breasts hit the bed before you do when you lay down


• Just because the lady at the green house assures you that the bedding plants you just bought are hardy & will survive..does not mean they will


• Your neighbours will not say anything if you have tons of dead big potted flowers all over your yard & landing..and you leave them there all summer & fall


• People will tell you how huge you are when pregnant


• People will ask if you are done having kids when you reach a certain number


• A wrap around skirt WILL blow away on you


• No one appreciates that you took on a moth & won


• Your children can & will amaze you all the time with their sheer genuis


• These same children will lick a spoon clean & place it back in the drawer
• No matter how conservative you dress, there will be some parent out there who considers you the hussy


• There is such thing as a One Horse Town


• No matter how you spin it or how desperate you get, A & W coffee still tastes like crap
• You can walk around all day in town with a dryer sheet stuck to your butt & no one will say anything to you
• An orange that has rolled under the TV stand will not get moldy & mushy...it actually shrivels & turns into the Crypt Keeper.
• If a dog shreds a towel & eats it....it will not digest & comes out whole...with some help from hubby (barf & LOL)
• It is possible for your husband to slip & slide right UNDER the van
• A husband will get mad if you laugh hysterically at him being under the van
• My daughter does NOT find it funny if you tell her there's a suprise out back waiting for her....and its a doggy poo picker upper
• This same daughter is a genuis in school & yet at home can't remember why she was sent to the storage room (6 times) for a can of soup
• It is possible to get beaned in the head 3 times in a row at a youth volleyball game (by the same kid)
• It is IMPOSSIBLE to try to sneak Toffifee out of the box without being heard
• My BFD does NOT stand for My Big Fat Dyke
• In the series 'Buffy'....Angel is (wait for it.....) a VAMPIRE!! OMG...this totally blew me away
• Sour cream does in fact get sour...and it doesn't taste good
• Labour & delivery STILL hurts...they haven't cured this yet
• No matter how many times I offer, my husband is not interested in tasting my milk...yet will drink milk from a COW

This is all I got so far. I'm sure I've learned much more...but I'm having a brain fart. I'm starting to wander....and my baby is waking up for his 8 millionth feeding tonite.

Good night everyone & hope this year brings you happiness & joy.
