f uld you. So follow the rules and be treated like a car or stay on the curb and get our of my way!

f ... You don't stop at red lights or stop signs. You don't use your hand signals to show turning. You do what you want! Cars can't do that and neither sho

2 ithout saying anything. Like he knows I'll smell it after that one more minute of much needed sleep..

Y , pay for it, do it for me.." Like were all living in their world!

Y Don't like- people that act like they are the only ones on the planet. The people that think: someone else will- move around me, clean it up, stop for me

Like... A good book. The kind you get excited to read.

Like- when my dog gets excited to see me come home even if I just went to my car and back.

Don't like.... Anyone jumping out at me and scaring me. Throws me out of wack more than it scares me. Makes me want to punch them!

.... Sleeping in clean sheets.

things i LOVE..... When my husband takes a nap, he lays on my side of the bed. Or, he'll lay so that his head is on my pillows.

When the right lane has a sign that read- lane ends ahead and some douche bag in the right lane decides to become captain of that lane and goes slow until it merges so no one can pass. Ugg!

When people drive slow in the left lane. That drives me the most crazy!!!

- When people in line behind you have to stand so close. If I hit you with my bag when I turn around- you're too close. If you can read over my shoulder or I can her you breath, too close!!!!!!

Things that drive me crazy......
Why can't people flush. It's your 1 or 2 so you should take care of your flushing!

All's right with the world today. I have a peaceful feeling and I like it!
I've been eating things the- "The Belly Fat Cure" book has recommended. I never realized how sugar and too much of it makes you feel. This week I haven't felt tired or been lazy. I'll keep you updated.

Just finished reading, "The Time Traveler's Wife". It's funny that I rushed to the end of this book and now I wish it didn't have to end. I guess were all longing for that special love. Even when you have them you still long for them. My husband isn't a time traveler but he does leave, experience things and then comes back home. When he's gone I miss him and wonder when he'll be back with me. Just like Claire waited for Henry, I waited 28 years for Darrell.

More random.... ¨Seeing men drive vw convertibles looks so silly to me. ¨People have different ways of running. -lean forward lead with your lead, or lead with your chest -lean back and lead with your chest, to pound the pavement with your feet and have a look on your face like you hate life... Runners look funny!

Best compliment I ever got was when I lived in San Francisco. I was walking down on a sidewalk, in a suit and had my sunglasses on, a man stopped me and said, "are you a celebrity"?

Ideas: Time Stands Still- a take on Alice in Wonderland. Clocks are the theme.

-What's the focus of the event?
-Brand the event.

I wonder.... Sometimes (most night) Kaja wakes me up around 4-5 because she wants to go pee. I don't wonder why she has to go out but I wonder why I am SO hungry! Like I'm starving! Wonder why?

One question that I want to ask God- so why do you make plucking eyebrows so painful?

*Parent tip...
Hayden needs to do his inhaler ever day. We can remind him when he's with us but don't know if he'll remember or be reminded when he's with his mom. To make sure he's doing his inhaler I thought up a way to help him remember.
I took a pill box, one that has 1 slot for every day of the week. I put 1 Skittle in each day. (Skittle's because it's his favorite candy). Now, he has a reminder to do his breathing treatment and I know that he'll do it when he's not with us.

Kids... Don't understand them. Just had my oldest almost cry because we couldn't get into gatti land. And my old is 15!

It has been so nice to open my closet this week and have something to wear. I read something once (might already be in my blog)- "A woman loves all the clothes that she buys but has nothing to wear in her closet". That's so true!
My wonderful Mom donated some money to the "pick me up" fund. She said she wanted me to take care of me and buy myself some clothes. I bought 4 shoes, 1 jeans, 5 dress pants, 1 sleepy pants, 2 workout pants, and 11 shirts!
It's nice to have pressed, neat, clean clothes hanging in your closet... I think I'm going to keep that up.

On my way to Oklahoma City for work. Is only been 2 minutes and I'm already tired of this trip. I went to the bathroom, have my car set up, got a chi latte from Starbucks and I'm on my way. Are we there yet???

Got to the Y to work out. I'm so tired that after I changes, I sat in the stall and wonder, "was that good enough"? It took me so long that it felt like a work out. Ugg... Bed or tread? I'm working out despite my mind's desire!

Don't understand women with deep, loud laughs. Do they know they sound like a man?

I hate headaches! I get one every time the weather changes. Ugg!!!

Ugg... What a week! How do you stay motivative when all you get is "no". I wish I was the person that took it as more fuel for my fire. I take it as needing to have a pity party! I'm not loosing as much weight as I hoped to. That's also bringing me down. I need a day in my pj's or a day at the mall with someone elses credit card!

Love that old men have taken over the Starbucks next to my house. Makes it feel like a local hang out in a small town instead of a trendy shop in a busy one!

Stupid song of the day... Lyrics- "take my order cuz your body like a carry-out"

Taking another set of hot rollers back. The first made my hair too curly, the second, made my hair flat. Curly-lox will have to stick to her curling iron!

Saturday, I went to dinner with friends. I went to Amber's so I could see Gracie and Hayneslie. They are growing up so fast. Those two little girls should be in magazines! Super cute!!!! Amber and Adam are great parents. They are raising funny, sweet, charming, beautiful young ladies!
We met Ali and JT for dinner. Ali's little belly is so precious! I kept rubbing on Miles (the belly) and loved it. I'm excited to have a baby!
We went to Ali's after dinner and Amanda came over. It was good seeing everyone. Funny how we quickly turned in to 15 year old girls with husbands, babies, and real jobs!
Sunday, I went to Church with Amber and her family. We went to Rock Bridge in downtown Dalton. It reminded me of Celebration Church. The kids area was precious. It looked like a downtown city with fruit stands, candy shop, "Eve's Flower Shop". Too cute!

What a great time I'm having home. The saying that you don't appreciate something/someone until it's/they are gone is so true!
My Dad picked me up from the airport. He liked my reclining seat story! We had a nice talk as we drove home. I so appreciate him for stepping in to become the Father I didn't have. I now know how difficult that role must have been for him. I don't think Thank You will ever really tell him how thankful I and to have him in my life! He's the best!!

Part 4-The lady sleeping looks confused. Looks back at me and I'm typing... What? Wasn't me.

Oh.. Seat Leaner is back. No seat leaning as of yet. Maybe he won't notice. Commence, leg, crossing!

Part 3-
I mean... Isn't it a little selfish to lean your seat back. You are not caring what the person behind you feels. Or even if it bother's them. You just want to lean back a little. and you're not even sleeping. You're reading a paper. Now, the woman next to him is back but she's sleeping. So, I can understand her wanting to lay back. But paper boy? Why? Move it up!

Maybe if I lean my seat back I could have more room and even go to sleep....

JK!

Are we there yet?

So "Seat Leaner" gets up. It wakes the lady sitting next to him up. I look back and don't see him so he must be in the bathroom. The lady gets situated again and clothes her eyes. I count to 10, look back again, look at her, and push his button to straighten his chair "to the up right position". It startles the sleeping lady and she raises her sheet too. Then the flight attendant walks by collecting trash.

Part 2- ...not bother any one by saying, "excuse me, can I get out"?

They should provide snuggies on flights. Tell me that wouldn't make a lot of money.

I need to buy hair rollers. That way, I can roll my hair when I get up and do other things while they are setting. That sounds fun.

I just remembered, were (Darrell and I) are going to Vegas in February for work. Just think, 3 years ago this February, he asked me to marry him on a Southwest flight to Vegas. That was such a good time... Even If he did loose $800. (He took out his money when he took out the ring and forgot to put it back in his bag).
Ugg... Move your seat up Mr! I can't cross my legs with out resting my leg on your seat back. Wouldn't be bad if it was a normal seat but it's the plastic tray. Now he's moving so it moves the seat and the tray. Ugg!!

I'm on a flight to Atlanta. My, the things you see in an airport!I have never been able to sleep on a plane but I sure can people watch!I wish people in front of me wouldn't recline. At 5'7" and a size 9 "boot" I need the leg room.
There is a little boy behind me with his mother. When he giggles, he sounds like Zeke. Isn't it funny that when you miss someone you hear them when they are not around. Like last weekend when we were at the mall for Hailey's scavenger hunt birthday. I so thought I heard Hayden yell, "Zach" but neither were there.
I wonder if flight attendants have to wear the shoes they wear or if they have a choice. Some times I see the women with heals on and other times, they have on old lady flats. Humm, I would ask to wear my house shoes!
I'm glad I got the isle. I love the isle seat. People always want the window but I like the isle so that I can stretch my legs, as well as go pee and...

It's amazing where God will lead you. Took vitamins yesterday morning, made me burp. A friend said, take them with food. So I took them with my salad today. At 2:30 I started feeling sick. My Mom said, I needed bread. Well, having low carb on the brain I can't just eat bread. So I went to Wendy's to get nuggets. Pulling up to the drive through I saw a man yelling at me. He just wanted a dollar for food. I told him, I'm not going to give you money but, I'll buy you food. I got me nuggets and him a #1 with a large sprite. He said, thanks, and I said go to a church to stay worm. We both said God bless you!

Cracking up! I'm having lunch at the lake. Of course I'm in my car it's 37 out side! Anyway... Just doing a little people and pet watching. The "every day" runners (you can tell who they are because they have the uniform- SPANDEX from head to toe)are not messing around! The "newbies" are looking more intense than their bodies are allowing them to run. You can tell who they are because they are running/ walking in swim trunks, jeans, or sleepy pants. The pets here, all have on sweaters or coats of some sort. It's cute yet sad all at the same time!
Still sticking to eating what I need and not what I WANT... I had a club salad with balsomiac viniger, a small diet dr pepper and a large water.
Like Beyance said, in this months US magazine.... "It's not easy, it's a sacrafiace." I keep telling myself this so that I will one day, soon, sacrafiace all my jeans for newer, skinney girl, jeans.

should old acquaintance be forgot.....

Happy 2010! I'm so excited for this year. This is going to be an amazing year i just know it. I thought this way in 1997 and 2007 and now for this year. I have mad a few new years resolutions. The one thing I think is silly to do... I'm caving in and doing it.... again. A few years ago I should I would work on my mind, body and soul. I'm going to do that again.

1-MIND- I'm going to commit to working harder, putting in more effort. Stop depending on Darrell to carry the weight. I also want to do something for me this year. I am always focusing on others, and we should put people first, but I want to take a little more time on me. As far as what that is.. not sure. Maybe focusing on what I want to be when I grow up? ;-)

2-BODY- I have been wanting to loose weight for a while now. I'm not happy in my skin. I'm not happy when I look at myself. I feel like saying "who is this girl'. So this year, and I say year because I'm not going to have a short term goal, I'm loosing "that girl" and going to find the old me. I want to be the girl my husband married. better yet, I want to be the girl he met. I'm going to be realistic on how much I want to loose and by when. I want this to be a life style change and not a quick fit like the diets have been in the past. I'm going to post my weekly challenges and goals so stayed tuned..

3-SOUL- I want to read the Bible more. Maybe this will also tie in to the "me' time. Well... I'll be with God so i guess it will be "we" time. I'm looking forward to this!
