I am glad that there are a lot people like me. I have a lot of gray hair from stressing out.
Welcome! Thanks for joining us!
I am glad that there are a lot people like me. I have a lot of gray hair from stressing out.
I just lease a car I don't really drive much and I like having a new car every few years ,but this year DH decided when the lease is up we are going to be BUYING TWO NEW CARS . A new Minivan and either an Xterra or a Murano. We also have a gas guzzeling truck that he is going to keep.
My DH is 9 years older than I am Me 26 him 35 so he wants to be done soon. I feel like I have alot of time.
Been there felt that! I waited until my kids would be three years apart and it has worked well so far. I was NOT ready before that!
DH and I had the talk last night about adding another one to the mix. I am not really sure I want to do the baby thing all over again. I love when they get to be around 2 and cannot wait for DS to get there, but on the other had I would love a little girl or another little boy to give DS a sibling I am so close to mine and I think it is amazing.

If you find that pill - put me down for a lifetime supply! Although, isn't that why we have kids?
Glad you're enjoying our thread. It is like coffee with the gals, Debbie! We should have a little "happy hour" on Friday nights - pick a designated time and drink of choice and then hang out on the thread together!
I'm secretly wondering how I can get that flu that's been going around to jump-start my weight loss! What's that line from "The Devil Wears Prada"? "I'm one stomach bug away from my goal weight?"
It's like having coffee with the gals isn't it??
I am sooooooooo looking forward to temperatures above 70 - aren't you Erin!! Not long to go now...

Cammie - I will check out the sticky, thanx! As for SWA, I agree that they are probably the safest airline out there right now. My dad used to always tell us to fly the airline that had the most recent crash, for the same reason!
OK, who has a DVC? Here's my big question. How do you handle family? Do they ask to use it? Do you take them with you? Does one side get upset if you take the other side?

I am so so with you on that 1 .. i have tried and failed at losing weight for this next trip, failed so badly i had to go and buy new clothes yesterday (which i can't actually afford to do)
after a week with me, they'd both be chopped up and in the freezer!
Laura - Wait a minute - you honeymooned there in 1998 too???? Weird coincidences! We did too! We actually married in Oct of 97 but honeymooned at BWI in May of 98! Great minds think alike!
And no drinking.
This is EXACTLY what I'm trying to avoid. I'm afraid to pull out my shorts and tank tops. Luckily, I still have a few months - I'm not even looking at purchasing any new clothes until I lose a little!
You'll have to excuse me, I just jumped on and didn't intro myself.
Hiya all
Erin -just noticed the ticker - DLRParis too!!!! wow.... we've been twice - it is another world - sooooo much quieter than Florida, but loads to do -you have to compare the rides -apparently POTC is different, the castle is of course TOTALLY different - DLRP has a resident dragon! ooohhhhh I'm green with envy now..... Are you going at May half term? That's when we went - best time of year!!
Tessa
cigarettes as i gave up 19 weeks ago
Laura - first of all, do we all have the same SIL???
And if there WAS a pill for laundry, I'd OD on it! You're right about this thread - it fits me perfectly! It's a place to whine and moan and nobody complains or tells you to suck it up! I love it!!!! And I don't yell at DH anymore when he tells me to suck it up!
Debbie - I'm so sorry you're having a rough go of it! I know that money is always the most stressful thing - especially the thought of shelling out $$$$ for a car. Luckily for us, DH manages an auto auction, so we get all our cars at cost. Then we drive them until they fall apart. I have never had a new car and don't think I ever will! We get all ours one or 2 years old and you save sooooo much money!!!! And to me, it is still "new." The only nice thing about the new cars is the 0% financing.
I wish I could lose weight when I'm stressed, but for me it is the opposite - last night I made a pan of brownies and ate half of them!!!

Well, I just made a very important call - I called Charles Schwab to transfer my IRA from my old job. We started talking and I found out that they offer checking accounts with over 3% interest! That's crazy high for checking! My SIL has been trying for over a week to get money out of their online account with another company and it is apparently taking an act of Congress to get it (yes, this is the money she has owed us for over 4months for Hoop Dee Doo tickets! ). So I decided to look into some other options. And guess what I am going to do? I am going to open my own saving acct without DH knowing about it - and I'm going to save for DVC! As long as I can still contribute to my IRA, I don't think he'll be upset.
OK, who has a DVC? Here's my big question. How do you handle family? Do they ask to use it? Do you take them with you? Does one side get upset if you take the other side?
Both our families (with the exception of my sister) would make snide remarks if we took my parents, or DH's family, etc. I swear they all drive me nuts!!!!! My parents made a snide remark because we drove 5 1/2 hrs to see DH's family a few weeks ago, but we haven't made the 14 hr trip to see them!!! Since we moved, we are now a flight away from my family instead of a car ride. So it's a bit more expensive. Plus, DH and I both work, DD has school, it's not like we can just make that trip in a weekend! My parents are so irrational sometimes! And they are so nasty about us going to WDW with DH's family in May. My parents could never afford to do that, and they won't save the money just for themselves so we could all go together with everyone paying their own way. DH really wants to take my parents to Disney, but I'm the one who thinks they'd just complain about everything. The older they get, the grumpier they get!
Wow, didn't know I was going to go off on THAT tangent! Later!
I am glad that there are a lot people like me. I have a lot of gray hair from stressing out.
Laura -Glad to have you here.
Tessa - Great news, under 200.
Tammie - Wish I could meet up w/you guys at the airport but I hate driving through airports and expressways.
Me too! I quit Jan 10th after almost 20 years smoking! And the 22 lbs I lost last year? Yeah, it's creeping back on. I get terrible cravings especially during that time of the month. I can't seem to eat enough!!! And the saltier the better, followed by something sweet of course!
I know that I'm healthier now, but I feel so out of control sometimes! And will my temper get better? I seem to yell at DD all the time now, whereas before I just let everything slide. Last night we came home from McD's and the little boy next door came by to see if DD wanted to go to Kid's Conditioning at our clubhouse - I told him no since we had just gotten home and were getting ready to eat. She got so upset and said that she "never gets to do anything fun." I snapped! I told her I guessed that the new Nintendo she got "isn't fun" and Disney World for P&PP "wasn't fun" and going to McD's "isn't fun." And I just went on and on. I sent her to her room and told her when she was finished acting like a spoiled brat and ready to apologize she could come down and eat her cold dinner! By the time she came down about 10 minutes later, she was in much better spirits. Maybe it sank in?
I just fell asleep for a 1/2 hour, and I think it did more harm than good. Once DD gets home from school (in about 5 minutes) I think I'm going to try again - she probably needs a little nap, too! We are getting our hair cut tonight and I don't feel well right now. But I have to feel better in time for my hair appt, right???
How did you quit smoking?Oh yes i know i am gonna be an ex smoker forever rather than a non smoker one of the hardest things have ever done ... Well done to you too
Oh yes i am at my worst at about 7.50 when it is time for DD to get into bed i just feel it building and building and i know that's the time when i would settle her and go downstairs and have a cig for sure ... and don't you just love it when they say stuff like that or "so and so's mum lets them do this and that" my answer go live there then hahahaha ... cruel i know but sometimes enough is enough hey!!!!
Hope you girls are both feeling better after your nap, enjoy having your hair done
