Both Caelie and I are sick. Caelie's been sick now since last Thursday. I took her to the doctors yesterday only to find out she doesn't have Bronchitis but the onset of it so hopefully we caught it in time. The doc gave her an antibiotic to take (because the cough isn't in her lungs yet but had a wet sound to it) and also some cough syrup. I also bought the Vicks Vaporizer and last night I think

My cousin has her own online store and also runs a real life store (as in one you can actually walk into). She started the online store first, through Ebay. Then bought her own domain to host the store there and then finally decided to have an actual store. I believe it's mostly antiques and stuff like that.One of the things she just finished was deciding on what promotional business gifts to

Our annual family reunion with our best friends was booked this morning and I am SO psyched! Last time we did this we booked it the July before and had to wait until the following April! This year we just booed it and now only have to wait 2 1/2 months! We chose a different house but it's just as huge and just as great! Heated pool, hot tub, game room, lots of decks and porches. BUT this one

Missouri that is. Sean got a call this morning that he could be going to Branson Missouri for work. Neither one of us have ever been there before. He suggested, since he could be gone for a while, that we somehow turn it into a family vacation. With the kids and I somehow meeting him there at some point.I did a little investigating into the town and found some great places to stay as far as

Friends of ours are moving back on down to Tampa and I'm so psyched! They lived here for a bit, then moved back north, only to miss it here so much that they're moving back. The sucky part is the actual moving part though. Luckily, since they did it not too long ago, they don't need to search through all of the different moving companies out there to find one they like. I'm just so psyched

I am so annoyed right now with people! I'm tired of people who volunteer their time only to then throw it in everyone else's face. If you want to volunteer - then do so. But then don't go around telling everyone and their mother how much you've volunteered and yadda yadda yadda. It's ANNOYING to say the least and makes the person look like a complete idiot! STFU!!!!!

I am happy to say I gained NO weight this holiday season! NONE!!!! And it wasn't like I starved myself either. I ate the wonderful appetizers and the tasty cookies. We got a ton of candy for Christmas from aunts and uncles and I made sure I had my fair share. I also drank some egg nog and wine and beer throughout the holiday season as well. BUT, what I didn't do was gain any of the weight back

I just love it, don't you? It looks awesome!!!! I got the website off of my friends blog. The website is called The Cutest Blog on the Block and they have so many great looking backgrounds for blogs. And the best thing is they're so easy to use!!!! I just changed the look on My 3 Day Walk Training blog too. I'm wishing there was a way to use these backgrounds on Wordpress blogs but I don't think

I can't believe it's January 15th already. Although, looking back, it does feel like Christmas was ages ago even though it wasn't. I have to say I'm doing very well weight wise. I gained NO weight this holiday season and I'm psyched! My clothes fit great and I feel great!Soccer is keeping us as crazy as ever. I think that's what makes the month go by so quickly - we're always so busy (but in a

2009!!!!! Bring it on!!!!! Last year was awsome and I know this year is going to be a stellar year and top last year!! I just know it!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Just jumping online really quickly to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!! We're having a great day!!!! Kids got what they wanted and now we're just waiting for Nana, Pop, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Syndi to get here so we can do the next round of gifts from Santa!Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is ready for Santa to come tonight!!!! Happy Christmas Eve!!!!!

Sean has been trying to quit smoking for a while now. But this year hasn't been the best one to quit with him having to travel for work so much. Caelie has been on his case though almost daily. And I keep telling him how once we do get life insurance, it's going to cost us more because he IS a smoker! Unfortunately that fact doesn't help much. And of course he knows you can get smoker life

Christmas dinner is always at our house just because it's so much easier on us due to the 3 kids. So my parents, my brother and his girlfriend come here. Christmas Eve dinner is at my brothers house. I've been trying to figure out what to serve for Christmas dinner. The past few years I've done meat in the crock pot just so I'm not stuck in the kitchen all day long. I think I might do that again

I've got less then two weeks to pick out gifts for all of my in laws over in Ireland and get them mailed so they get there on time. And I have NO IDEA what to get any of them - my mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law and family (4 kids) and my sister-in-law and family (3 kids). Someone mentioned maybe I should just get the nieces and nephews promotional products such as pens, etc. but who

is how I've felt all day long. Since 4am I've felt like I could throw up but never have. Caelie was home from school today feeling the same way I am. We were both feverish all day with yucky tummy's. I'm hoping this is just a 24 hour thing. I've got so much to get done yet for Christmas that I'm starting to freak out a bit. I do have a few more gifts then when I blogged December 1st. But I'm no

that my house will never look like it comes out of something Martha Stewart did or that you see in Better Homes and Garden - that's just not me. I wish we had some money to get an interior decorator in here because some days I'll look around the house and think how drab it looks. Especially days when I've just been to my friends house whose den has this fabulous Moroccan decor look. Seriously,

So today is December 1st right? And I've got maybe 3 gifts for people and that's it. THAT'S IT PEOPLE!!!!! And I don't know when I'm going to be able to go out and buy more because money is so tight right now. UGH!!!!!On top of that, I haven't even started thinking of what I'm serving for Christmas dinner which is here at our house. I need to figure out appetizers, main course, side dishes and

Ever since I've lost like 14 pounds, everyone now keeps asking me how I did it. Did I use fat burners, did I fast, did I just stop eating? I had to laugh because I actually did none of those things. I've just been watching what I eat. I'm not a morning person so I've never eaten breakfast. I will have an occasional bagel when I'm out somewhere or at someones house but that's usually not early in

I seriously need to start my Christmas shopping. If I wait until the last minute not only will I not be able to find anything from every one's lists, but I guarantee I won't have the money for it all either. So I've been online looking for a good sale and I think I've found a few.My mom says she wants a few books which I know I can get online and probably get free shipping with them too. If I

will be here before you know it. In fact, it's next week. I can't believe it's that time of year already.What are your plans for Thanksgiving? We'll be heading on up to Jacksonville for those 5 days. The kids have Wed., Thurs. and Fri. off so we'll have a 5 day weekend. Which is something I'm pretty psyched about. Some parents don't like when their kids have off from school and are home but love

The other day I was thinking back to this past spring break and all of the fun we had with our good friends up in the Outer Banks. That was like 7 months ago! It feels like it was years ago! The house that we rented that week was awesome and I give kudos to my friend Kim since she's the one that found it. It had an indoor/outdoor heated pool, jacuzzi, game room, theater room with home theater

YES, that's right!!! I have lost 12 pounds!!!! I'm not sure how I did it or how long it took me because I don't weigh myself that often - maybe once ever 6 months. But however it happened I'm ecstatic!!! And no, I didn't use hydroxy cut hardcore or diet pills. I guess I've just been watching what I eat. And I've been pigging out on junk food alot less. Also I'm not drinking as much soda as I used

You Are AustinA little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.You're totally weird and very proud of it.Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick What American City Are You? I wasn't expecting this for an answer!!!! I thought it might say New York but never Austin. I do miss New York City though
