OMG I have just had an ah -ha moment!!!
You and squeekie are both Italian! Der... I know, pretty obvious but I have always said to everyone who knows me, that I was probably Italian in a previous life, I am so emotional and loud and knock everything flying when I talk, you know with the arms and hand signals?? Not so good for training on a stage... it looks um pretty strange

Anyway, the food, the people, maybe that is why I love you two so much???

AND I love emotional people two, didn't you figure that out yet?? hehe

There I go again, I mean too writers cramp again!

Well GOOD FOR YOU girl!!! You are just SO SO confident! I LOVE IT! You are just SUCH an inspiration to me! You know it??? How on earth do you stay so positive??? I find myself moping around so much. When the littlest thing doesn't go my way, I mope or pout. I'm a big baby. I know it. But I am the baby of 5, so I can't really help it. It's been ingrained in me (or however you say that ). You know - when you're the baby of the family, everyone treats you like a baby!!! So how can I help it??? I'm just used to it! Heehee!

About the names - I picked out Ashlyn's name (her name is Ashlyn Brooke), but let me add, Jason whole-heartedly agreed! So - when I got pg w/ Katelyn, he said "I'M going to pick out the name this time!!!" I was like - SURE! OK! Like I would let him name MY child w/o me agreeing to the name! RIGHT! So, we worked on it together. We didn't really know for sure what we were having, but had a pretty good idea it was a girl. So - we went to work. Boy o boy was it ever hard!! So, to make a long story short - Katelyn is NOT my favorite name in the world, but after going through what seemed like a BAZILLION names, we settled on Katelyn. Leave it up to a man to go w/ such a common name. O well. She's my little booger bear . We were between Katelyn or Savannah, & I decided Savannah was just TOO long of a name, so, Katelyn it was. Only 1 more letter. LOL! DUH JOY!

Well, I am seriously tired, even though I haven't done much today...
Gonna call it a night

Ms. Martini,

Another pound! You will be at 202 and then Onederland soon. I was looking at your work out schedule. You are really dedicated. You should think about training for a race (5k, 10k, marathon?) or what about a triathlon? They are great motivation to push yourself and they are a lot of fun, too. With the dedication you have to working out, I have no doubt you would LOVE it!

I may cry when you reach 202 also. I hope that's okay

Ms. Olive, thank you!! That is probably THE most wonderful thing about this board, everyone cheering everyone else on!! The power of one is something but the power of many is nothing short of amazing!!

Not sure about the Italian, actually probably not but maybe in another life! But many of those things mentioned DO describe me!

Joy, I try... I really, really try! Those weeks that the evil box doesn't move it's a bit difficult. So when the good times come around... it's time to celebrate!!! It keeps me going for when it's not so good! Plus... I'm the oldest. Maybe that's something we just had to do growing up, you know. Kind of the opposite of the youngest syndrone. Hmm, something to ponder.

Echo... omg girl! You DID make me cry!!! Of course you can cry with me!! As I hope you'll allow me to do with you! Funny you mention the 5K, etc. When I started with the trainer he asked me my goals... why was I there... my answers were; 1. Overall better health 2. Run a 5k in 2 years... at 10k in 4 and a half in 6! 3. To not have the need to wear a skirted bathing suit!! The 5k is on the short term goal list... if you can count 2 years short. It's so nice to hear that maybe your goals aren't too far fetched!

That's it for me ladies... I'm going to attempt sleep. I don't mind handsome hubby being away but the first night he's gone is awful in regards to sleep...

Well I coulda sworn you were too!! Italian that is... maybe it is because you have said 'ciao' a couple of times (??) and squeekie definitely is... self confessed now! Although the pizza was a big clue I always imagine Italians as very emotional, close, loud, expressive, very family orientated, etc. I love that and I miss my family sometimes as they are all in England

Oh well mamma mia, who a caras, we ara alla family ina heera!!
Is that attempt at an Italian accent pathetic or what??

[cmomof2kids]
