quest for perfect jeans
I’ve read several articles recently that told just what type of jeans flatter when you aren’t the size of the anorexic models. I need some new jeans and according to these articles, I’ve been buying the wrong thing all along. I stopped into Old Navy today because the above mentioned articles say Old Navy’s […]

reading
I bought a book to teach Princess to read that claims they will be reading at a 2nd grade level by the end of the 100 lessons. Princess cruised along really well until we got to blending and then she hit a wall. It got painful for both of us so I put it away. […]

Mrs. Kerry on the loose
I thought Kerry’s team would keep better tabs on Mrs. Kerry at this late date but she’s firing off her mouth again. I really wish they would let her out more often. She never disappoints.
Today she decides to insult Mrs. Bush and all stay at home Moms. She then apologized but here’s what I […]

new hair cut
Here’s my new hair cut. It feels cute and sassy. I got lots of compliments on my way out of the salon. While the compliments were nice, I wondered if it was really a commentary on how bad my hair looked before!

weigh in day
I was down 3.2 for a total of 11.8. I exercised more this week so I think that’s the reason for the big loss.
The bad news is WW is closing my day meeting due to low attendance. The leader says they need at least 25 people and its usually only 10-15. The only other […]

You can take the girl out of Michigan
and apparently you can take Michigan out of the girl. A couple funny things I noticed while up north that made me laugh at myself.
On Sunday afternoon I was sitting at the gas station on Alger Road filling up my car with liquid gold (aka $2.09 gas). It was ridiculously cold which is another indication […]

road kill
On our way home from swim lessons tonight, we hit a possum. I didn’t see it sitting in the middle of Route 123 until we were almost right *there*. The road was wet, it was dark and I wasn’t about to risk our skins swerving for it. The thud was sickening. Of course the kids […]

Sick Kid
After waking up crying and two puking ups.
She basically has been just sitting there and looking dazed. Nothing like being sick to take the edge off a kid.
UPDATE:
She’s had a piece of toast for lunch and some sprite and is acting a lot more herself.

Michigan trip
I (Sly) just got back from Michigan. I went up for Tami’s baby shower. A few pics are in the gallery. The shower was fun-lots of people there I haven’t seen in a long time. I went up without kidlets which got me in hot water with some of the relatives but it was […]

weigh in
down just .2. It makes me mad to pay for a measly .2 loss-my thrifty Stahl gene at work here. I made pizza last night for the family and did my own somewhat WW friendly for myself. I ate way too much and gave myself a stomach ache that is still bothering me today.
