from lindzeeleigh :
I really am so thrilled for you. You and J deserve all this happiness. :) xo
from take-two :
she's beautiful, I'm so happy for you...
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad to see an update from you. I feel like we have not had a chance to catch up in so long! The business stuff looks like it is going so well. That is awesome for you and J! And Claire Bear is as cute as ever!! :)
from mykindoflove :
congrats on the business! That's so exciting and overwhelming, I bet! I checked out your link and it looks really cool! I hope you keep up the blog there, too, as I'd love to hear all about the business :) (And if you lock this one, please send a password my way :) Congrats on the anniversary! You two should be proud! :)
from skinnylizzie :
Congratulations for your anniversary! Five weeks seems like a long time to me right now so five years doesn't even make it on my radar! I am definitely still reading and would like a password very muchly if you do decide to lock up.
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy [almost!] five year anniversary! That is a big one! I hope you guys go out for dinner and do something nice together. :) And of course I am still reading!
from heylee :
Happy 5 year anniversary! And I can't believe your munchkin is almost 11 months old. Time is flying by... Good luck with the new business. It sounds very exciting! Oh, and if you lock up can I have the pw??? Thanks!
from mycafelatte :
I still read!! if you do make your diary private, send me the pw. :)
from the-moo :
I LOVE how you talk about that beautiful girl of yours.. I hope that one day she can read over these (and the many more there will by the time she's old enough to read) and know what an AMAZING mother she has!! I love you xxx
from nickyslilone :
awwwww what a beautiful entry! I know how you feel, they grow up too quickly!
from xxholding-on :
hi i saw you were online and i really wanted the vote from diaryland towards a contest i joined. It's a coach marketing contest and i need as many votes as i can get, please help! http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?picid=975395_34070543&pid=2767347&scid=452
from take-two :
[07/14/09] Oh... she's gorgeous! And ten months is my *favorite* age. Enjoy!!!
from lindzeeleigh :
Oooh, a new business!!? That sounds exciting. What is the business going to be? Good luck with all the planning and finalizing of details. Glad you are back home and settling into a routine again. :)
from momma-at-17 :
First she's too too cute! And I know what you mean about time with your hubby!
from heylee :
I just love Claire's little squishy cheeks!! Too cute! I know exactly how you feel about needing some one on one time with the hubby. Hopefully you'll be able to have some time together soon.
from lindzeeleigh :
I think that you and J should plan another date night and get your family to babysit little Claire for the night. It is important for you two to still have your time alone. :) And of course Claire is as deliciously cute as ever!!
from lindzeeleigh :
I love that pic of little Claire, it is so cute. :) I am interested to see what these fall plans are that you mention. Sounds very interesting. Have fun on your trip to Quebec. :) it was nice chatting with you online the other day, perhaps we will catch each other again soon!
from blazingstar :
Awww I'm so glad to hear that you and the little one are doing well!
from skinnylizzie :
Aww I know, I'm totally biased (which is stupid because I'm not even remotely related to her, but oh well!), but she is hands down the most beautiful ginger human being I've ever seen!
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad you are back online! I think that totally would have been torture for me not to have the internet as well!! I hope you have a great trip to Quebec. Are you going to visit J's family? [I think that is where they are from?] I would be a little anxious on the plane ride as well, just bring lots of toys, food and things like that to distract little Claire. Maybe she will sleep?? Hope you are doing well. I have missed chatting with you and catching up!
from skinnylizzie :
I know I say this almost every time you post pictures, but isn't she gorgeous?! And she looks so much like J (in the pictures I've seen of him, anyway). Glad you're feeling a bit better as well :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sorry you have the blahs right now. I know what you mean as I have been feeling that way too. I am hoping that with some warmer weather it will pass. I hope you have a great trip to Quebec!
from heylee :
Sorry you're feeling so down...I can definitely relate right now. It definitely messes with your head when you are constantly awake at night. I am sooooo thankful I'm not working right now because I would be zombie at work! Hopefully soon, these babies of ours will give in and let us catch up on our much needed sleep. :)
from heylee :
What a cutie pie! Yay for dress up time!
from lindzeeleigh :
What are you summer vacation plans?? Sadly, I don't think we will be getting any in this year dues to Ben's work. I actually don't know when his time off is??? I love your little Claire, she is so adorable. You guys are blessed!
from heylee :
She's so sweet! And yay for better sleeping. I keep telling myself it will get better. Thanks for the hope! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad that everyone is getting some more sleep around your place, that is so important. And I don't think there is anything wrong with letting Claire cry for a little bit in her crib before she falls asleep. She will be in a routine in no time! And I am excited about the news that is coming in your life with J! Can't wait to hear more. :) It sounds like good news.
from dreamofblue :
You have such a beautiful little girl! Even my mother in law thinks she's gorgeous. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with you. I can't believe Claire is 5 months old already!
from skinnylizzie :
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the birthday wishes, and I hope everything is still going well for you :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope little Claire Bear gets better soon and that you two are able to get some rest. xo
from lindzeeleigh :
I love the princess dress! What a sweetheart! :) Thanks for all your encouraging notes about shift work and things like that. It really helps to talk to other people who are going through the same kinds of things. As for J possibly being transferred: that is a big change to think about, isn't it? I know you guys will make the right choice for you and your family. I hope your foot will be feeling better soon!!
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope you are feeling better soon~ I think I am coming down with an annoying cold too! With a cough to boot! SEnding you get well vibes. Give that Claire Bear a little snuggle for me. xo
from take-two :
[02/23/09] She's more beautiful every time I see a new picture!!!
from heylee :
She is so precious!!! I feel your pain about the no sleeping at night thing. But then morning rolls around and we get such cute smiley happy grins that it's hard to not be happy huh? :)
from take-two :
[02/02/09] She looks just like her dad... GORGEOUS!
from skinnylizzie :
She has the loveliest big blue eyes, she really is so cute :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I miss your updates! I was glad to read an new update from you today. Motherhood really suits you and little Claire just keeps getting more and more adorable. I am glad that everything is going so well for you. :) xo. YAY for babies!
from lindzeeleigh :
YAY for Christmas! It is getting so close now. :) I didn't know J took two months off to stay home! That is so fantastic, what a blessing. I bet you will miss him when he goes back to work for sure. Enjoy the time with him over the holidays. :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I don't think there is anything wrong with this being a baby diary. You are right, your life is a LOT about little Claire right now and that is what is important. Can't wait to see her new pics and cute lil' smile!
from lindzeeleigh :
I still can't believe she is a month old now! claire is so adorable, I just want to pick her up and squeeze her! :) I hope that you and J are able to get some sleep soon with your noisy sleeper around! LOL.
from heylee :
She's precious!
from noaddedme :
congratulations!!! She's adorable!
from lindzeeleigh :
I think you should definitely upload the new pics of Claire when you get the chance, I would love to see them! :) So glad that you are enjoying being a mommy.
from gr8chick :
OMG...she is beautifull! i am so, so happy for you guys. You are going to be a great mommy.
from skinnylizzie :
A thousand bajillion congratulations! She's gorgeous, and I love her name as well :) x
from heylee :
I forgot to ask if it is too soon to plan Wyatt and Claire's marriage? Hahaha!
from heylee :
She's beautiful!!! Congratulations mama. What a perfect little girl.
from lifeasme66 :
Congrats! Geez, everyone is having baby girls. My coworker just gave birth on Friday, and another friend yesterday... both girls. She looks beautiful! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I know I already chatted with you and left you notes on fb, but I wanted to tell you yet again how lovely your little girl is!! I want to eat her up she is so adorable!! And I still *love* that you and J went with Claire, it is perfect for her!!
from msbear :
Congratulations!!! I teared up reading your story. She's beautiful and you're going to be a wonderful mommy. :)
from heylee :
Yay!!! I can't wait to hear the wonderful news!!
from skinnylizzie :
Hope everything goes okay, and congratulations in advance!!!!! :)
from lifeasme66 :
Oooh! Keeping my fingers crossed for you through the birthing process! **HUGS!!**
from blazingstar :
Congratulations!!! Good luck and I'm so excited for you! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
OH MY!!!! That is so, so exciting! I hope everything will go well for you and I can't wait to hear all about everything and your new little one. :) Happy early congrats to you and J! xoxo
from mykindoflove :
Yay! Good luck and enjoy--it's an amazing time!! :) Can't wait to hear the rest of your story and see this beautiful baby!!
from bitterwineuk :
yay, good luck. cant wait to here more!!! :)
from msbear :
Oh that is so exciting!!! Your in my thoughts and prayers and I hope everything goes perfectly! I look forward to reading the birth story and hopefully seeing some picture of your little one!!!
from lindzeeleigh :
Awww, I loved this entry. :) I can't wait to meet your new little person too! Sounds like you are all ready to go!
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad you had such a nice shower with your family and friends. I bet you got a lot of really adorable things! Only two and a half weeks?! I wonder when baby will come? If he/she will be early or late? SO exciting!
from bitterwineuk :
:) My little man did not slow down at all, this baby however is much more placid and calm in general. Still getting the odd roll and signs of encouragement when it comes to chocolate biscuits, but in general quite peaceful. It's just so exciting to think that you will get to meet your little baby any day now!!!
from life-n-pics :
I love picking out baby names! I like uncommon names! My faves for girls are: Autumn, Summer, Ava, Faith, August, Aurelia, Kimber, Wynter, (What's with me & all the seasons?!), Raine, Avery, London, Kenya, Elle. And my fave boy names: Levi, Ty, Ryder, Lane, Braden, Noah, Logan, Dylan, Asher. That's all I can think of for now!! Good luck!
from lindzeeleigh :
Only three weeks?! WOW. You know my thoughts on the baby name game. :) I thought you had decided already?! lol.
from lindzeeleigh :
I am kind of thinking the baby will come early too, but maybe that is just because I want to see pictures of him/her and hear all about everything! LOL. I am glad your vacation went so well, it was beautiful there!!
from lifeasme66 :
Believe it or not, I think you're a bit small still for 33 weeks. My girl friend and coworker, Judy, is 35 weeks and she is HUGE!!!! Maybe it's just her =P I love the short hair, it is sooo cute on you! Happy anniversary =D **HUGS!!**
from skinnylizzie :
Enjoy your trip and have a great anniversary, it really sounds like you've earned it after recent events. By the way, the hair looks really nice!
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy Anniversary! You and J deserve this trip and I hope you enjoy each other as much as you possibly can - it might be the last one before the baby arrives! I am sorry to hear that there isnt a whole lot of new on your family. Maybe sometimes no news is good news? Love the new pics, and the hair cut! Could you be any cuter???
from bitterwineuk :
sorry to hear theres no improvements on either side of the family. Have been wondering how things were going. You look radiant though and the haircut suits you. :) Happy Anniversary for tomorrow. x
from lifeasme66 :
My prayers are with you and J and your families =( **HUGS!!**
from skinnylizzie :
Heh, thank you, I had no absolutely no reason for posting the last picture other than I'm a sap and I wanted to :)
from gr8chick :
You are all in my prayers. Please, please take care of yourself. Sending you bunches of hugs, sweetie!!
from skinnylizzie :
Oh, what two awful things to happen in a week. Thinking of you two and both your families x
from lindzeeleigh :
I have been wondering where you were and how you were doing. In fact, I was going to write you an email to see if everything was okay. I will still email you. :) I am sorry to hear that your grandpa and Joel's mom are both not doing well. That is very stressful and i will definitely be thinking about and praying for you and your families. BIG hugs. xoxo
from dreamofblue :
I'm writing again! Come check me out!
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you :). By the way, I meant to say after your last photo entry, how cute is your baby bump?! You're glowing in those pictures, it's so nice to see!
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope you had a nice, quiet and relaxing evening. Sounds like you need it! :) How is the name game coming along?? I took the poll!
from lindzeeleigh :
I can't believe you are 7 months along either?! Where does the time go!? Your trip looked fantastic and you look beautiful. You are blessed indeed. xo
from newlywedblis :
I love your entries about baby stuff! OMG--you are so blessed, and you know it, and J knows it, and it's WONDERFUL to hear! I can't wait till you meet this little one and introduce him or her to us!! :) These were my favorite months, feeling the baby move--enjoy them!!
from heylee :
Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!!!!!
from gr8chick :
Hey, LilMama! How are you doing? It's so, so wonderful to see someone so looking forward to becoming a parent. In my circle of friends, it was always, "Oh, no...I'm pregnant." But that was because we were all so damn young. It's so awesome to see someone appreciate this miracle, and accepting it with so much love and anticipation. I am so happy for you!
from skinnylizzie :
Oops, I'm a bit late, but I'll still say happy birthday anyway! Hope you had a good day :)
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad you had such a nice trip away!! I have not been fishing in so long. I can't believe you caught a rock!?! LoL!! Happy birthday one more time, you old lady!! :P The thirties are the new twenties you know and I am not all that far behind you!! ;) Do I still owe you an email?? I think I do! Better get on that!
from bitterwineuk :
happy belated birthday, Glad it was a good weekend. :)
from heylee :
Yay for belly pics!!! Those are too cute. Time is going to fly by for you from here on out! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad the chat with your boss went so well! I think you should definitely take and post more belly pics, a lot can change in four weeks! I like hearing about your little baby's progress. :) Writing an email back to you now...
from gr8chick :
OMG...I just saw your baby's pics! Oh, how that brings back memories. I'm swear I'm tearing up! Your baby is BEAUTIFUL! I think he/she has your eyes. ;) (((somanyhugs2u)))
from lindzeeleigh :
Yes, you should definitely have a sit down chat with your boss! He needs to know your due date so he can start planning to replace you and he also needs to know you won't just take on an extra position without any compensation or questions. Sheesh. i can see why you have been dreading work. On a more positive note, how is the name game going??
from lindzeeleigh :
I emailed you!! ;)
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad everything is going so well for you with pregnancy. Good for you for being so active. I bet it really helps that the weather has been so great. I don't think it would be as easy in winter because it isn't for me!! :P I am so excited to find out if you are having a boy or girl. Do you have any names picked out that you both like? I have a bunch saved that I can send if you are interested, ones my friends have sent me, etc. LEt me know if you are interested. As for the work thing, most ladies who are teachers take off about 3 or 4 weeks before their due date. But then the baby can come earlier, so who know?! Okay, I think my note is long enough now! :P
from bitterwineuk :
With work it all depends on what you do. If it is a seated job then you can work as late as you wish but be prepared as the last few weeks can be VERY tiring. Also it is nice to have at least 2 weeks at home. It all depends on you. I think I allowed 6 weeks off before my son was born, he was due Jan 20th and got here the 10th bt as I was working in a shop on my feet all day I felt I needed the break sooner. Personally, I think 2-3 weeks would be nice so you get some rest time and time for yourself before baby gets here. Something you might miss for a little while. x
from fan4 :
HK introduced me to the Sanrio world. Chococat's cute, and I also like his name.
from zkandaloza :
When I was pregnant, I felt like I was carring a boy up until they told me it was a girl. It was just a feeling but I was wrong. What are you hoping for?
from fan4 :
You have Chococat in my diary! I collect him and Hello Kitty!
from blazingstar :
That must be so incredible to feel the baby moving around. I don't know if I would email the ex back or not - I guess it depends on a lot of things, like how things ended between you, how curious you are about what he's up to these days, and what your husband would think...I emailed you a password, by the way!
from lifeasme66 :
I guess, depending on the circumstances of your breakup, you could always answer that facebook message and just say you're doing well because you're happily married and you're expecting your firstborn. If your ex had any bad intentions, that would shut him up real quick! I guess I'm just optimistic about such things because facebook has brought me back in touch with tons of people, and sometimes you really do just want to know that they're doing well after all this time =) **HUGS!!**
from elliestuff :
Hi, nice layout.
from elliestuff :
aww...how cool. hope everything goes smoothly for all of you.
from zkandaloza :
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Wow, it'll be a wonderful experience! I'm just starting to come back to Diaryland. Thanks for your note. Take care-Lety
from lifeasme66 :
Congrats on passing! And seriously... my belly is still bigger than yours, and I don't have a kid inside to show for it =P **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
You have the teeniest lil' belly bump! Do strangers seriously notice?! I wouldn't if i didn't knwo you were pregnant. Too cute! How is the name game coming?? Are you going to post some of your likes? I love you trip pics! Are you going to put them on fb? Congrats on passing your exam, that is awesome!!
from gr8chick :
OMG!!! How beautiful. My eyes fiiled with tears of joy at your gift of life! There is nothing that comes close to the experience of becoming a mom. I am so, so happy for you. And yes!!! You're baby is Gorgeous!!!
from lindzeeleigh :
I already commented on your cute u/s pics on fb, so I will say good luck for your exam!! Or did you already write it and i am late?! i am behind in diaries lately!! I LOVE all the baby stuff....makes me so excited for my own. Take pics of this cute belly strangers are staring at!! :P
from skinnylizzie :
A huge massive GOOD LUCK for the exam! Aww, seeing your pictures and and reading the way you write about the whole pregnancy experience secretly makes me a little broody, now that's a feeling I'm definitely going to have to control!
from lindzeeleigh :
Awww, *tears up a little* what a nice entry! I am glad you went to dinner for your 8 years of knowing each other! Ben and I approaching 7 in the fall, where does the time go?! And YAY for little baby flutters! Hoping and praying you get some sleep soon. :)
from msbear :
Wow...I am soooo far behind on everything. Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you! Being pregnant is one of the most amazing experiences ever and you look radiant! The raging hormones are completely normal and unfortunately, things are still rather strained in that aspect even for a while after the baby is born. It sounds like your hubby is very supportive, though, so hopefully he understands. If you're having trouble sleeping because of pain or discomfort, a body pillow or extra pillow to put between your knees works wonders. :)
from lindzeeleigh :
Give yourself some time, maybe it will all even out in a bit and I am sure that you will be back to yourself after baby is born. Maybe talk to J and tell him you are aware of your hormones, just so he is on the same page as you. It will all be worth it! Hang in there and I hope you can get some sleep soon. :) Thanks for your comment today!
from bitterwineuk :
that looks a familiar entry. check out my entry at my preg diary (startafresh) i am suffering exactly the same at the moment. hugs x
from bitterwineuk :
Thanks for your message. I'm due November 5th so I'm not too far behind and now starting week 18 today. Over here in the UK we have firework celebrations on Nov 5th so if I don't have this baby early like my son then there is a fairly good chance of it arriving on the due date.
from lindzeeleigh :
I am so happy that ultrasound went so well with your little jumping bean!! Can't wait to see the pics of the u/s and your cute lil belly!!
from bitterwineuk :
Hiya, I haven't been reading that long but just thought I would ask how many weeks pregnant you are? I'm 17 wks with my second child and just find it so wonderful that there are so many mums to be over here at diaryland at the moment. It's lovely.x
from lindzeeleigh :
I hate when I lose an entry! Maybe your post got lost in your notes?! Who knows! I always copy my entries before I post them to be sure they don't get lost in cyberspace! That is so exciting that you can see your little one. :) How is that little belly of yours doing?? How is the car situation?
from lindzeeleigh :
ooh, the u/s is coming up, you will haev to be sure to scan the pic in!
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy Mother's Day, you cute little mommy-to-be!! :)
from life-n-pics :
I'm glad you had a good time!! Can't wait to see some pictures!!
from lindzeeleigh :
Welcome home!! :)
from the-moo :
I LOVE hearing you so clearly bursting with happiness :oD makes me smile!! Can't wait to hear all about the trip when you get back! xxx
from skinnylizzie :
You'll already have gone by now (er...or do I mean arrived here? I can only hope the weather is warmer wherever you go first than it is here in the sunny north of England!), but I hope you have an amazing time!
from lifeasme66 :
Have fun! Take lots of pictures! **HUGS!!**
from momma-at-17 :
I like Leilani and Cole. How exciting!
from lifeasme66 :
OMG, girl, I am jealous looking at your tummy. I swear, I look more pregnant than you =P and there's nothing growing inside me except a big, fat belly! Anyway, as for names, I like ones that are a little unusual. Boys: Kevin, Chase, Colt. Girls: Evynn, Taline (rhymes with "Celine"), Sheridan. **HUGS!!**
from the-moo :
I agree with Lindz that's a SMASHING belly you have there :o) I like the names Lola, Daisy and Erin for girls and for boys.. I don't have any I'm STRONGLY loving but G likes Ffloyd and Asher (asher means happy in hebrew) to be honest I REALLY love the name GARETH (it means gentle in welsh) but I don't know how much of that is because i love MY Gareth!! *hug* Hope you have a GREAT time travelling.. take LOTS of pictures and keep us informed!! You'll be in MY country.. albeit 300miles away but still!! :oD ENJOY IT!! xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Okay, you seriously have the LOVELIEST belly ever and there simply can't be a baby in that flat tummy of yours! You look wonderful! You are going to be one of those mommies who wears her normal jeans until like 20 weeks or later!! :P As for names, I have a whole list of ones I really like and think are different, I could email them if you are interested. Also, you should check out this website for ideas: http://www.nymbler.com/ it is very cool!!
from the-moo :
I TOTALLY missed out on this announcement.. wow it seems like EVERYONE is at it at the moment.. babies everywhere!!! CONGRATULATIONS LOVELY!!!!! So glad to hear it's all going so well too and HOW WONDERFUL A husband you have an just.. WOW.. WHAT an entry for me to come back on eh? *MASSIVE HUGS* xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad to hear that you are still feeling good. :) Also, I am so happy that your boss wwas so positive about everything and you are right, most bosses would not be so quicky to say putting your personal life is more important than work. You have a supportive work and a lovely husband, no wonder you are laughing in your sleep! Are you going to do a belly gallery?
from gr8chick :
OMG...I just checked in and read that you're going to be a MOMMY!!! Yay! Congratulations! I betcha you're gonna to be a great one, too. There is nothing like having a mini you around to laugh with, love, hug, and kiss. They love you so unselfishly...Oh, I am so happy for you, Sweets!
from momma-at-17 :
If I remember right brand name tyenol is a ok for pregnant ladies. :)
from gutterstar7 :
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so exciting!!! I am so happy for you! Be sure to keep updating! XOXO, Kat
from life-n-pics :
Congrats!!!!!!! I'm excited for you! I hope everything goes well! =D
from heylee :
Yay!!! Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to read about your pregnancy. You and J are going to be WONDERFUL parents. :)
from anita-girl :
Yay!!!!! This is so exciting! Congrats! That's awesome that it happened so quickly, it did for me too! I am pregnant too for the end of August so I look forward to reading through your pregnancy while I go through mine! It's so exciting to be pregnant! The grin that you can't get off your face and you think everyone knows!
from skinnylizzie :
Oh, congratulations!!!!! That's amazing news, I'm so happy for you! :)
from take-two :
Congrats!!! *hugs*
from blazingstar :
Awww YAY!!! Congratulations, lady! This is so exciting!! Awww you guys are gonna be such great parents...
from newlywedblis :
YAYAYAYAYAY!!! I'm grinning right along with you! :) This is wonderful, wonderful news! I took a billion pictures of my test, too--the weird things we do when we get pregnant (really, it's a stick we peed on, and we're taking pictures of it?!? lol). SO happy for you guys! What a thing to celebrate with a trip overseas! :) Look forward to hearing all about your little one!
from lindzeeleigh :
I have been WAITING for this entry!!! :) I am so happy and thrilled for you and Joel. That is the best news I have heard all week! I am glad it was so easy to conceive for you and i wish you a wonderful pregnancy! i can't wait to read all about it! Congrats mommy-to-be!! xoxo
from momma-at-17 :
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!
from lindzeeleigh :
I love your journal, it is so pretty. :) And a trip to Ireland? That is so exciting! You two are going to have a lovely time!
from evoen :
I love your curtains!
from lindzeeleigh :
YAY for the sun! I am happy for the warmer weather and the sun as well. How are you feeling today? Any better? As for the books, I have really liked them all, but i really enjoyed Twilight! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope you are feeling better soon! Good fro you for getting your own doctor and getting to the bottom of things. I am sure all will be well. Take care!
from skinnylizzie :
I shall keep my fingers crossed for you until the results come back, but in the meantime it's good that you've found a doctor you're comfortable with. And nine months before your birthday must be an extremely, er, romantic time of year!
from blazingstar :
I sure hope this doctor can give you a good explanation! It must be horrible to feel sick all the time.
from lindzeeleigh :
YAY snow day! Now can I have another one?? Glad to hear J is so good to you, you guys are lovely together! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sorry you are so blah! :( Not fun at all but I feel that way too sometimes, so i know what you mean. As for nto sleeping well, try having a bath, a milk steamer and reading before bed with some relaxing music playing. That seems to help me, sometimes if I really can't sleep i will take a tylenol or something like that that makes me feel sleepy. I hope you are able to get some sleep soon!!
from momma-at-17 :
Sounds like so much fun you lucky girl you!
from lindzeeleigh :
It sounds like you had an absolutely lovely weekend! I really want a weekend getaway now! Shopping, dinners, spa treatments, sounds like a little piece of heaven to me. I am stranded at home today too, not because of snow but because it is like -39 here and my car won't start! :S
from lindzeeleigh :
Ooooh, a night at the hotel and then the spa? How much fun will that be with your girlfriend? I am jealous! Have a fun time and I think I need to plan one of those soon. And good for you and the sewing machine! I would have given up and got my mother-in-law to do it!!
from lifeasme66 :
Thanks for your latest notes, my dear. Very much appreciated! And I love the new hair too =) **HUGS!!**
from momma-at-17 :
I like the new hair!
from anita-girl :
I like your new hair! Different but longish still!
from skinnylizzie :
Ooh, I like the new hair, good choice!
from lindzeeleigh :
Can't wait to see the new cut!!! :)
from evoen :
I love them all! You look great in so many different hairstyles! My favourite is pic #4, short blond and it looks like your pouring a drink. That haircut is so adorable!
from life-n-pics :
To be honest, I like your hair best the way it is. But I think some red or auburn highlights would really look good. I also liked the pics where your hair was really short. But everyone's kind of doing that now.. thanks to Victoria Beckham. haha
from anita-girl :
You've had a lot of different hair looks! I think that you should go with something different. Why not put some red in it? Maybe both red and blonde? Leave it longish with different layers than you have now. I cna't wait to see what you do!
from momma-at-17 :
I really like the fourth picture down. The short hair with blonde. :) ~*♥*~
from gr8chick :
Awww...photobucket is blocked here. I'll have to try and sneek a peek when I'm at home. I'm sure your gorgeous no matter what hairstyle you rock! :)
from lifeasme66 :
Personally, I like the short hair with the highlights. It's cute! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I like you with darker hair and I really liked all of the haircuts. I think my fave would have to be the medium length, although I loved the cuteness of the short hair cut. I agree with Newlywed on the auburn highlights. Can't wait to see what you get done!
from blazingstar :
I think you are gorgeous no matter what!!
from newlywedblis :
I vote medium dark. But maybe Auburn lowlights? You look splendid in dark hair :)
from life-n-pics :
Yeah definitely post some pictures!
from lindzeeleigh :
i agree with J - you will look great no matter what! But I do think it would be fun to post different pics of you and then we can vote on which hair we like best and you can get a similar length/cut!
from gr8chick :
You make me smile with your happiness. Have a great day, Sweetie!
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you very muchly for your lovely note and gonrats! I have a severe dislike of doctors too, I don't know what it is but stepping inside a doctor's surgery induces that awful heart-stopping panic...and don't even get me started on how cold the stethoscopes always are! Anyway, glad you managed to overcome the doctor's thing (shudder)!
from blazingstar :
That entry made me smile. You have a lovely marriage and a lovely kitchen table and a lovely cat! Now kick that sore throat!
from lindzeeleigh :
You do indeed have a lovely and scrumptious husband, but you are just as lovely as well. It doesn't make me sick to read about you and Joel, it makes me happy because so many of my friends are going through the opposite. :( That is so awesome that you have good friends that are moving so close. it is always grea to have some girlfriends nearby. I don't think turning 30 will be as bad as some people say either.....only one way to find out! ;)
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sorry that you are feeling so sick. :( You have had a rough time this winter with being sick. :( I hope you are better soon because it will be no fun to head back to work sick tomorrow. I think your new year's resolutions are good, i never really make any, but this year i decided I want to try and make our bed everyday, lol! Hope all is well, get some rest and drink more tea.
from lindzeeleigh :
It sounds like you had a busy but lovely Christmas with all of your family. Ohhhh, diamond earrings, how fancy! I bet they look sparkly and fantastic on you. Enjoy taking pics with your new tripod, that will be fun. Enjoy the rest of your time off and I hope you get to spend more time [baby making?!? lol] with J!
from lindzeeleigh :
Merry Christmas to you as well, you beautiful lady. :) Have a wonderful time with J and your family. :) xo
from gr8chick :
Hi, stranger! Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas, and a happy, happy new year!
from lindzeeleigh :
I know you did well on your exam and I hope you will find out how well soon! Also, I hope that you are feeling better, the chills are no good at all! Thinking of you!
from skinnylizzie :
Was that note meant for me? Only I definitely haven't locked up! My photo diary's all lockamajigged but not my main one. I'm glad the exam seemed to go well and you have my sympathy about the being cold/ill thing...I think I might need to move somewhere warmer!
from gr8chick :
Good luck on your exam...but I'm sure you'll kick ass! **goodluckhug2u**
from lindzeeleigh :
Good luck on your exam, I know you'll do great! :)
from blazingstar :
Oh that's so exciting! You guys will be wonderful parents.
from skinnylizzie :
Aww, that's very cool, I'm not surprised you have a big smile to match your news! On a slightly different note, I've always wondered what kind of Christmas songs you have over there...ours here are certainly, erm, unique...!
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you for your lovely note yesterday (today? God, time differences make my brain hurt sometimes). Guess it just wasn't meant to be, although that's bloody hard to stomach. Anyway, enough of me - glad your brother-in-law is doing well. And all the cool people procrastinate in the face of exams!
from lifeasme66 :
Hope your bro-in-law continues to get better! **HUGS!!**
from life-n-pics :
That sounds so scary! I hope your brother in law will be ok
from skinnylizzie :
Hey, thank you so much your note. I know in the great scheme of things that three hours is practically nothing, especially compared to what you had to do - all I can say is that you must be very strong, and boy am I glad I live on a tiny island that takes all of two hours to drive across! Glad that you and J were able to talk about things, I know it's hard to tell through something like a diary but you two really do have something special and it makes me smile to read about it :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad to hear that you and J talked and that things are better. A little communication is sometimes all we need. I am sorry to hear about your BIL, that is scary! I am glad the antibiotics worked and that he is feeling better. I hope he will be able to come home soon!
from lindzeeleigh :
AWwww, your entry about J's job made me so sad for you. I can understand how people would think being a police officer is such a gool glamorous job, but really there are lots of long hours and shifts and it is very hard on wives and families. i don't think it is easy at all and I am sure you are not the only one that feels this way. I am sending you a big hug to tell you I am thinking of you. :) xo
from lindzeeleigh :
I am the exact same as you - people always seem to want to tell me things. I am not sure why, you and I must have a look that says come and talk to us and share your life story! :P Glad things are so good with Joel! XO
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you for your note :). There is something about this time of year that makes you feel a bit flat, I'm with you on that. My only advice is that if you do decide to go on holiday, don't come to England because it's even worse here!
from lindzeeleigh :
I have been having troubles sleeping lately too, so I totally understand what you are saying. I hope you are able to catch some z's soon! And thanks for the note you left me yesterday, it made me feel better and I am glad you and I are in the same boat on that. :)
from blazingstar :
Hey, thanks for the sweet comment. I'm feeling better today. If you want the password to my private diary you are totally welcome to read. I haven't really written about this family stuff in there, just relationship stuff, but that's pretty interesting too :) Hope you had a nice weekend!
from fridayfilms :
hi there! glad you're still reading. and glad you and j are happy as ever! http://fridayfilms.blogspot.com. i'll write soon!
from blazingstar :
Awwww, happy anniversary!! It's so refreshing to see that you two are still as in love as ever! Gives me hope for my own future :) Also thanks for your sweet comment...I'm feeling better now, and things are looking up :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I love the happy, sappy entry! It made me smile all around! Happy Anniversary! What did you decide to do to celebrate??
from lifeasme66 :
Happy anniversary, my dear! **HUGS!!**
from skinnylizzie :
That entry was lovely...happy anniversary!
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy almost anniversary, your trip sounds like it is going to be so fun and relaxing. and you will get to enjoy your new bike! I haven't ridden one in like 15 years probably, but I think you are right, it is something you never forget. And YAY for working at the closer office, that is such good news. Happy news all around!
from gr8chick :
Well, good for you girl! It's wonderful to read how great things are going, and more importantly how happy you are with life, marriage, all of it! Congratulations!
from skinnylizzie :
Aww, well done on the raise! Sounds like things are going well :)
from lifeasme66 :
Congrats and double congrats to you! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
Congrats on the raise - you deserve it. What great news!! And happy almost third year anniversary. Mmmmm, apple crisp. That sounds yummy!
from lindzeeleigh :
Thanks for the compliments on my pictures! I was wondering if you noticed how similiar my bridesmaid's bouquets were to yours? Thank you so much for sending me those pictures and giving me inspiration! They turned out beautiful! How are things on your end? What have you been keeping busy with? I hope all is going well with you! *hug!*
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy Birthday!! The picture of you in the sunglasses is absolutely beautiful by the way. How have things been going for you?? I am just back from the honeymoon and wanted to pop in and thank you for the lovely note you left!
from skinnylizzie :
Oh I'm RUBBISH for how late this is, but happy (very belated) birthday to you and J! The pictures are lovely, looks like you had a good time :)
from grt8f84me :
Hey, missy! I am so glad that you are feeling better! I had a sinus infection once, and by all accounts it was "mild." But it really kicked my ass! I was the biggest baby about it! Happy Birthday to you and your hubby. I wish the bestest time, sweetie!
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad that you are on the mend now. Nothing is worse than feeling crappy for a long time! Maybe for J's birthday you can plan a surprise dinner during the week with his friends. I did that for Ben last year and he loved it! It was a little tricky to pull off, but doable! Just a thought! ;) Enjoy your little trip!
from momma-at-17 :
Hey, it's good to be back. I think you'll succeed. Happy birthday in advance, just in case ;) Hope all is well with you, looking forward to catching up on what I missed.
from grt8f84me :
If you imagine the worst, then the reality won't be so bad. BUT,then you'll be freaking out until then...So I guess maybe that's not a good idea. Out of curiosity, because you have fluid in your ears, do people sound like they're underwater when they talk to you? ;) JK...I hope you feel better, and it probably won't be as bad as you imagine it to be. I'll keep my fingers crossed! **hugs**
from blazingstar :
Aww you poor thing! I do hope you get better soon. Sometimes you just don't respond to the first kind of antibiotics they give you, and they have to try something else. But I don't think anyone should be allowed to be sick in the summer!
from skinnylizzie :
Aww, thank you for your lovely note! I hope you're feeling better soon, I hate sinus infections, they're EVIL. I'm sure having your ears drained isn't nearly as bad as it sounds, thinking back to a very dim and distant memory I have, but still, I shall hope you don't have to have it done anyway! Ugh, doctors :(
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well at all! :( That is awful. I have had a few sinus infections before, so i know how you feel. But you are worse because of your ear infection as well! Ugh. I hope you are feeling in tip top shape soon so you can dance it up at the new class!!
from life-n-pics :
hope you feel better soon! =)
from grt8f84me :
hey, there, mamacita! I'm sorry to see that you are not into writing as much...but we all go through those phases. I hate to see that you are feeling the way you are. That is the worst when you know things are good, and should be happy, but the expectation that something is going to go wrong prevents you from enjoying it at the present. I don't know...I'm feeling a little "alone" myself, and maybe I'm reading to much melencholy in your entry. I wish I had a joke I could tell you just to make you giggle for a second...but none comes to mind. But I'll be back, Sister! Keep your head up, sweetie! ;)
from lifeasme66 :
Glad you're doing well, was thinking about you earlier! Write when you feel inspired, don't worry about going days with nothing to say. I've found that writing sometimes comes in waves. And sometimes, there just isn't anything to say! **HUGS!!**
from grt8f84me :
Been waiting for you...Great vacation! Hope you update soon.
from lifeasme66 :
Glad you've been so happy, my dear! You deserve it. The Mexico vacation looks soooo fabulous, I am jealous! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I was wonderinf how you were doing! I love the Mexico pics! :) It looks like you had a wonderful time! Sexy legs too! :P I am glad to hear that your new job is going so well, that is so positive. :)
from skinnylizzie :
Oh yay, you're back! Thank you for your lovely note :). I'm glad Cancun was good, and I'm also especially glad that your new job is going well and that it was the right decision
from blazingstar :
Yay, an update! I'm glad you're loving your new job. And thank you for your kind words of advice...I know I'm just feeling antsy because I haven't seen Paddles in a while and because I've been geting a little attention from a couple other guys. But I do believe my heart is still with P and I can't really imagine it any other way. Hope you'll be able to update again soon :)
from lindzeeleigh :
No luck on the shoes as of yet. I am going shopping tonight - so I hope I can find something for sure. My dress appt is only a week away now! I am hoping they have some new stuff out. Keep your fingers crossed. Aren't you frustrated with dland? I have been wanting to update for DAYs - I have pictures and everything! I hope they get the problem fixed soon!! Sheeesh!
from lindzeeleigh :
Where are the pics of the cute new hair?! I can't believe that this week is your last week of work. It must be kind of sad and happy all at once. i am sure you will love your new job! Lovely, Lovely vacation! Oh and about the shoes, i need them by May 11 for my dress sitting! Eeeep!
from skinnylizzie :
Heh, well, that and shoes :D
from lindzeeleigh :
I like this idea of a reverse interview! I want to have one of those! That is so awesome that the job is officially yours - and of course they want you, why wouldn't they?! You rock!
from life-n-pics :
Congrats!!
from blazingstar :
Congratulations! Vacation AND an exciting new job...May's gonna be a good month!
from skinnylizzie :
Oh yay, I'm so glad things have turned out well for you! That's the kind of job interview I dream of :)
from newlywedblis :
Wow--I've been a bit behind! :) That job sounds great--it's nice to work at a place that already knows how much they need you before you even sign on! Congratulations!
from lindzeeleigh :
Wow! I hope all goes well with the meeting for the new job! That came out of nowhere and sounds like a good opportunity for you, especially considering you still don't know what is going to happen with the job you have now. I must have missed the previous entry, or I woul dhave made a comment! I hope all goes well!
from skinnylizzie :
Good luck for the meet-up! I wish I could have offered sage advice but a total lack of life experience stops me from knowing what to say... Anyway, I hope it goes well!
from lifeasme66 :
Personally, I think you should go for it. As long as your commute isn't 45 to an hour sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, it sounds like a great opportunity. And really, if you turn it down and end up unemployed by the end of the month, you might regret not taking it. **HUGS!!**
from momma-at-17 :
Maybe it's time you take a chance. To me it sounds like a great opportunity, even with the extra commute. I think you should go for it. :) Either way I wish you the best! ~*♥*~
from evoen :
You're asking whether or not to choose A) a better paying job but further away or B) unemployment. If you haven't jumped on option A, it's because you feel it isn't as sweet a deal as your current situation, despite knowing its fate. It's the hope of keeping your job that you're clinging to. If Option A offered even more money, would it win you over your hope of keeping your current job? Perhaps confronting your superiors about your fate will help you decide more clearly without doubts clouding your mind. Especially since your name is on the "guillotine" list.
from badbadzoot :
(a continuation from my previous comment) unless of course you are only driving through traffic and it takes an hour, I on the other hand was driving 50 miles one way.... so yeah, just weigh the pros and cons and take it from there!
from blazingstar :
Hmmm, that's a tough one. What exactly does the job entail -- i.e. would you be happy doing it? When you commute, do you drive yourself or take public transportation (an extra 20 minutes on a bus or train isn't so bad because you can do other things in the meantime, but I could see how extra driving time would be pretty annoying). I think the most important question is how happy you'd be doing the work you'd be doing; don't feel forced into it just because the future is uncertain and someone is pressuring you to take the job. Good luck!
from evoen :
Oh a trip down south! I'm so happy for you! Please don't feel guilty in going, just enjoy and come back as refreshed as you can. ~hugs~
from lindzeeleigh :
I guess you had better brush up on your Espanol!! That is awesome that you are going to have a girls' getaway! You deserve it!
from life-n-pics :
Oooh you're going to Mexico! I'm so JEALOUS!! Hope you have lots of fun!!
from lindzeeleigh :
Ooooh! Mexico! do fill me in with the details! :)
from zkandaloza :
mexico! how wonderful. where at in mex?
from lindzeeleigh :
p.s. still no luck with the shoes. I might attempt that this weekend again! We'll see.... :P
from lindzeeleigh :
I love the carpet - very cool! And I love the story behind it even more. You made me think of "magic carpet ride" from Aladdin! I hope you have a wonderul Easter weekend. :)
from lindzeeleigh :
You will get those words out all in good time and when you find them right ones. Don't sweat it - and no one's life is perfect. We all know that. And we love you anyways!! :P
from lindzeeleigh :
Haha - I love those chocolate Easter bunnies. Too funny! :) How are things?
from onlyemma :
Thank you for your note! I'm glad you understood what I meant. I'll have to have a little flick through your diary now; I've only looked through a few pages so far but I like it a lot, and you have some lovely photos up! I'll have to have more of a read and get to know you better :) xxx
from blazingstar :
Adorable girls! And great travel package! ;)
from grt8f84me :
Well, good for you, HappyShoeLady! I'm gonna try wearing my strappy heels, but I'm not sure if my feet can take it anymore. I must live my happy-shoe-days through you! ;)
from lindzeeleigh :
I love the warmer weather too! Although it looks like today is back to being a little cold and there are snow fall warnings, yuck! I want to see the new cute shoes. I am trying to get some ivory shoes for the wedding and am having serious issues - any suggestions? There are a few cute pairs at nine west, but I dont want a 4 inch heel!
from life-n-pics :
Hey! I don't know how I came across your diary but when I did I read a few entries and thought it was interesting so I actually went through and started at the beginning and read them all! I added you to my favorites list. Just thought I'd let you know! And I love that you post pictures with your entries. Feel free to read mine if you want - I have pictures with almost every entry!
from newlywedblis :
What a great idea! :o)
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope they tell you soon! Dragging things out is such a pain in the ass. I don't get why some people/places do that! Do they know what it does to a person?! Thinking of you!!
from skinnylizzie :
The way they're dragging it out makes it seem even worse somehow. I hope you find out soon, if only for peace of mind. But, as before, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
from lindzeeleigh :
I am so glad to hear that you and Joel had such an awesome weekend together and that you were able to spend quality time together laughing and talking. Those are the best moments. I am so sad to hear about your job and the paper you were not supposed to see. :( That is awful news!!! I am thinking about you during this rough time. xo
from skinnylizzie :
Heh, thank you for the birthday wishes!
from lindzeeleigh :
Everything seems to be working fine for me. I just randomly clicked on a few diaries and they all popped up. Is your buddy list working now? I hope you get it figured out!
from lifeasme66 :
I'm sorry, hon. Seems like the blues are contagious. Hope we're both feeling better, and that we stop fighting with our boys, soon! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
Awwwww. :( Your entry made me so sad. I am sorry to hear that things are not going well for you right now. I really hope that your job situation gets figured out soon because that is really wearing on a person. And as for things with Joel....that worries me because Ben wants to be a police officer too and I know it is not an easy life. Big hugs to you!! xoxo
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you for the note :). And your niece is just adorable!
from lindzeeleigh :
AWww, how cute is that! Things like that make me want to have kids sooner rather than later! :)
from blazingstar :
Awwwww adorable!
from lifeasme66 :
Congress decided to change it, so that we'd use less energy during the daylight hours. **HUGS!!**
from tootiturtle :
I love your new 'do. It's very pretty. :)
from lifeasme66 :
Oooh, I love the hair! And I agree, a perfect pair of heels would go just beautifully with your new do =) **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I like the hair - verrrry cute! Did you think of an activity for this weekend?? I was thinking maybe a picnic in the livingroom and then a candle lit massage.
from skinnylizzie :
Oh I love the hair! I also think buying a pair of shoes is definitely the way forward after a fairly crappy week :)
from the-moo :
haha I love you xxx
from lifeasme66 :
Hmmm... romantic ideas... If your weather stays nice and sunny, how about a picnic? I always enjoy picnicing with Sean on a nice day. We take sandwiches, a blanket, some pillows, and our current reading indulgences and spend a few hours "listening to the daylight." **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I like the sunshiney picture! I have a cardio kick boxing DVD that I have been doing every night. i really like it and I know it is working. :) As for something romantic for J - I was thinking of doing something for Ben as well. But I am not sure what. Maybe we will have to brainstorm something together! I will be thinking....
from skinnylizzie :
I have no romantic ideas unfortunately, but I am going to say hurrah for sunshine! It's been sunny here as well and it just makes it so much easier to get up in the mornings :)
from lindzeeleigh :
That is great news about your job!!! I really hope that it will all work out for you. You are in my thoughts. xo
from evoen :
Fingers crossed for cera-jeanne;)
from skinnylizzie :
Firstly, YAY for the prospect of being able to keep your job! I shall carry on keeping my fingers crossed for you that things turn out okay. Secondly, I've had to (somehow) restrain myself from looking at that website until this weekend so I actually managed to get something done this week...now I'm off to drool over shoes I can't afford!
from lifeasme66 :
Best wishes for your job status! And thanks for the comment =) **HUGS!!**
from lifeasme66 :
Hmmm... I ponder the same haircutting question often, but it's easier for me to stay long cuz I don't look nearly as cute as you with short hair! I say cut it short, it'll be very cute and just in time for all the pretty spring fashions!! **HUGS!!**
from fridayfilms :
I think if you cut it to your chin, you will be a force of loveliness to be reconed with. Though obviously you're a force either way. I really hope the job situation works out for you. B is having that difficulty as well right now. Take heart, though, you've got a very good life in spite of everything and you two will always manage. Hi. xx
from lindzeeleigh :
I always have a hard time cutting my hair too!! I just got mine cut last week and got like 2 inches cut off and it seems so short, but i like it! I think why not go for it?? Hair grows back. :) And that is great news that you got the funding back for your job!
from take-two :
I prefer your hair short... And it doesn't seem like you have much trouble growing it back - go for it!
from tootiturtle :
I think you'd look cute with short hair, but you already look good with long hair. Ultimately, I think it will be a win-win situation!!! Either way, I hope you'll post pictures of whatever you decide to do. ♥
from noaddedme :
Getting my kitties to sit still is easy for one (PD) and hard for the other (Mouser) PD will sit forever if he thinks there is food involved. With Mousie what you don't see is the 70 or so frames that are a blur :) Gotta love digitals!
from superluckie :
Your nieces are sooo adorable!! @--}--- 1 March 2007
from zkandaloza :
SOOO adorable. I decided I just want girls! hehe
from evoen :
The sooner you know the fate of your job, the sooner a better opportunity will arise. Good luck, hugs xox
from lindzeeleigh :
Aww, what a nice entry about your mom - I am sure she would love to hear that. :)
from evoen :
Happy birthday Cera-Jeanne's mom!
from lindzeeleigh :
Oooh, can't wait to see the shopping pics! Sounds like you got some good stuff. You'll have to tell me what you thought of Memoirs of a Geisha in movir format. I thought it was pretty well done, but movies are never as good as the books!
from skinnylizzie :
(actually...any shoes really, but ESPECIALLY silver shoes!)
from skinnylizzie :
Haha, I see you've been on a shopping expedition too! I love the long tops and belt look, I did exactly the same yesterday :). And what is it about silver shoes that just makes you unable to let go once you've picked them up in a shop?!
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad you are trying to be somewhat lighthearted about the job situation - as hard as it may be. Good for you. :) It will all work out in the end to how it is supposed to be. xoxo
from grt8f84me :
You're so sweet! Thank you, lovey!
from newlywedblis :
Hey--yes, I changed the info... tried to email you through diaryland but got an error message. Let me know how to reach you and I'll get the info to you. :)
from the-moo :
is that top picture you??? CRIKEY!! it's not RIGHT how sexy that picture is sexy you!!! ;o) I'm always so happy after I've been here!! xxx
from the-moo :
not sure exactly whats going on yet *reads old entries* but will pray for you *hugs* and there's nothing wrong with having hope!! xxx
from blazingstar :
Fingers crossed!!
from skinnylizzie :
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Really hope everything turns out okay! :)
from superluckie :
Hee hee, I'm sure every day is Valentines Day for you both! Wish me bon voyage! @--}---
from lifeasme66 :
Glad your day was as good as it was, even despite being sick. And yes, when you're with your honey, it doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing =) **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
Ahh love, 'tis a wonderful thing. :) I am glad to hear that you are feeling better!
from superluckie :
Spring is definitely on its way =) I hope autumn comes soon in Sydney too so that it's cooler. I'm flying to Sydney on the 17th! Pray that I'll settle down safely in Sydney because I want to look for a new place to stay, closer to campus! @--}---
from lou-bee-doo :
hope ur feeling better soon :) and I hope everything with work is sorted soon too...I can't believe that they can get away with treating you so badly. Many many hugs and a happy spring to you :) x x x
from lindzeeleigh :
YAY! No more winter - I am tired of the snow and cold! I am all about spring and summer weather.
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sad to hear that you are so sad. :( I know what it is like not to know where you will be in a few short months. I am in the same boat as you are because my teaching contract is up at the end of June. We both have to trust that everything happens for a reason and there is a plan for us. xo
from newlywedblis :
Sorry to hear about your grampa and your job... that's a lot to handle in such a short time. My mom had a stroke when I was little--it was a really, really scary time, even though I was only 3 and didn't fully understand. I, too have all four of my grandparents (though one of my grandmothers took off years ago and has little/nothing to do with us most of the time). My husband has only one grandmother still living. I'm glad you're able to spend time with him still. And honestly--even though he's "supposed" to be in the hospital, it's probably going to make him happier to be at home (which may aid in recovery--mindset has a lot to do with it)...and checking in on him regularly will help him still get the care he needs. Thanks for the encouragement you've offered me--know that you and your family will be in my prayers!
from superluckie :
I'll be praying for your grandfather. I can relate a lot to your latest entry. Last night, my maternal granny stayed over at my home. She helped to look after me when I was a baby. When I sat beside her last night, I thought: how much time have I got with her before the Lord calls her home? I felt quite sentimental, so I kissed her goodnight, which is something I rarely do! Do spend more time with your grandparents! Have you got the username & password to my diary, which is now locked? If you don't, please give me your email address! @--}---
from lindzeeleigh :
I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. :( That is very hard. My thoughts are with you.
from lou-bee-doo :
*sending you muchmuch love and hugs* I hope both you and he are ok x x
from skinnylizzie :
I'm really sorry about your grandpa. It probably sounds trite to say, but I hope he recovers well from it
from sosuga :
aww I'm so sorry...lots of hugs & prayers coming your way <3
from lifeasme66 :
Prayers for your grandfather, hon. And hugs and peace of mind for you **HUGS!!**
from noaddedme :
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hope he's able to make good progress in his recovery.
from superluckie :
Doing volunteering in the meantime or enrolling in a short course would be quite enriching! I enjoyed volunteering at a missionary community hospital last year. Hope you like the latest pictures I've included! Take care! @--}---
from evoen :
Oh no, i've just been updated to what's been going on! :( I'm sorry about the funding loss your office went through. Sending positive thoughts your way! I hope you find something better than what you had ~hugs~
from lou-bee-doo :
ha ha, I usually go to ikea and come back with an ashtray and a pack of tea-lights!...you pair of hotties!! I bet guys were crashing trolleys all over ;) *biggest hugs* x x x
from lindzeeleigh :
Ah - who needs to make sense??? :P
from blazingstar :
Ha, one time I went to Ikea and all I got was a door mat. For one dollar. Good luck with everything, sweetie! Have a hug!
from lindzeeleigh :
My week felt like it was never going to end too! I hope next week will go by a lot quicker. I am so glad that the weekend is here. I hope you have a fun time shopping at Ikea - so many fun things!
from superluckie :
A little bit of pampering feels good doesn't it? Glad you'd a good time! Thanks for the notes! Anyway, just as it's normal to stumble, trip or even fall when walking, facing challenges in life is normal too! The important thing is to overcome them! @--}---
from lindzeeleigh :
You deserve a nice treat like that! Good for you. :)
from fridayfilms :
You'll be just fine, sweets. You and the J man can do anything together, you know that. x
from heylee :
Hope things start to look up for you on the job front, hon. Best of luck.
from lindzeeleigh :
I know exactly what you mean about the work situation. I don't know where I am going to be come the end of this school year. I will have to start re vamping my resume and all that jazz too. I abhor all that resume crap! Ugh. I hope you will be able to get another job that you will care about just as much. xo
from lou-bee-doo :
Thanks for my message :) glad you like them! I'll post more pics when the bats are healed!! Your niece is SO SO cute! and how happy is she?? lol...again, I really hope everything is settled with work soon *lots of hugs* x x x x
from lou-bee-doo :
*loads of hugs* I wish there was something I could do to help...I really hope they decide what they're going to do and stop being so goddamn unfair on you x x x
from lindzeeleigh :
AWww, it makes me so sad to read about your job and how everyone at the office is down. :( I wish that the government would wake up and realize how important this is! I hope there will be some light at the end of the tunnel for you. xo
from skinnylizzie :
You're absolutely right, of course :). By the way, I've just realised that I never left you a note about your job situation - I've got my fingers crossed that it turns out alright for all of you x
from lou-bee-doo :
I really hope it all works out soon...it seems so unfair to keep you all hanging on a knife edge like this!!! *HUGS* good luck with the world's best yoghurt! I'm intrigued now! and I LOVE those pics :o) esp the last one MWA! x x x
from blazingstar :
Ugh, I'm sorry to hear about the job situation. I really hope it works out for you!
from lindzeeleigh :
I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you about the job situation. As for the yogurt, what kind is it? I only eat Activia now - it is really good!
from grt8f84me :
Thank you for the wonderful note. I hope your holidays were great. I'm sorry to hear about the work stuff! You are so right about kids being our future. If we don't invest in them, who will, and what will happen to them and us? **hugs**
from lindzeeleigh :
Awww - I am sorry the job situation is looking so bleak. :( Try to keep your head up and hope that there will be enough public outcry to make the government realize how important those programs really are. And how important of a job you do.
from take-two :
1/6/07 - Thanks for the words of support.
from lou-bee-doo :
:o( I hope it all works out okay. It must be horrible thinking that you're either going to lose your job or your workmates. I'm thinking all the best happy thoughts for you x x x
from zkandaloza :
Good luck with the job thing. I can just imagine how you feel.
from take-two :
01/05/07 - I am sure that whatever happens with your job that not only will you land on your feet, but it will be better for you in the long run. More importantly, you look fabulous in that picture!
from lindzeeleigh :
That is awful news about your job!! :( Stupid government! I will keep my fingers crossed that you get to keep your job. Thanks for your comments about the flowers. I would love if you would email your flowers from your wedding, that would be awesome! :)
from sosuga :
*jealous* of you & J's relationship, definitely sounds like the type everyone longs for. I found you thru anthronut, saw you wanted to boycott the stupid skinny jeans and had swing by and say hello and? You are so adorable! And have beautiful eyebrows. Yes I know how weird that sounds, I am an eyebrow fanatic for reasons that are beyond me :) Anyway, I'm putting you on my buddy list, hope you dont mind :)
from lindzeeleigh :
I know what you mean about the money thing - we are working very hard on saving money for the wedding. It can be frustrating and hard at times, but we are making it work. :) And we are blessed - you are right, because we have each other.
from anthronut :
I've yet to hear anyone that is in favor of those god awul skinny jeans. Stupid 5'11, 80 pound models molding fashion to fit them. *scoff* And thank you for the note! :)
from fridayfilms :
Hello lovely Cera. Thank you so much for your sweet Christmas card! I'm sorry to say that I was not in the least organized this year and so sent nothing to nobody! How selfless of me! In any case, I miss you like the dickins and hope you'll visit soon. Oh, and I'm properly engaged now! The wedding is in May. I'll write you a real mail soon. xx FF
from lindzeeleigh :
I really liked your entry today - My entry was similar as well. Now we wait in anticipation for Christmas next year! Did Santa bring you everything you wanted??

Merry Christmas cutie!!! I hope you had a great day :o) x x x

from momma-at-17 :
I don't think it's stupid. Good Luck!
from superluckie :
You're older, you're more mature - in short, you'll be fine! I'll keep you in prayer! Have a great week ahead! @--}---

Good for you! What are you interested in taking?? :) You will be great!
from zkandaloza :
Good Luck chica!

Good luck for your university appointment! I'm willing to bet all the shoes I own that you sound vastly more intelligent than I ever could. Hope it goes okay!
from lou-bee-doo :
GOODLUCK!!!! notthat you'll need it AT ALL! :o) I love that pic of you both!!! x x x
from take-two :
12/19/06 - *wishing real hard* Good luck!
from momma-at-17 :
What happened? Did I miss something? **HUGS**
from lou-bee-doo :
I know you're going to miss him, but you're so lucky to have someone that special in your life x x x *millions of hugs to you* x x x x
from blazingstar :
OKAY, OKAY, I'M MOVING! YOU'VE CONVINCED ME! :)
from tootiturtle :
Canada sounds like such a wonderful place. I hope I get to visit someday. (and there's something wrong with your template...I'm sure you already know, but I thought I'd say something just in case.) Have a great week!
from blazingstar :
Thanks, I was hoping you'd comment! From your photos and everything it really does look like a lovely country! We'll see how things pan out in a couple years...
from lou-bee-doo :
amazing pictures!! You must have had a fantastic time...can't wait to see more :o) *hugs* x x x
from lou-bee-doo :
SOOOOO CUTE!! :o) my cat likes doing that (he's always sitting on my sister's homework! lol) is he an Oriental Blue? My boyfriend's brother has a female one called Skye (but we call her 'Sag' cuz she's got a saggy tum! lol)...so glad things are going well for you :o) *HUUUUUGS* x x x x
from blazingstar :
Awww, what an adorable cat!
from lindzeeleigh :
We just updated at the same time! YaY. :) I love that picture of your cat - that is so cute. I hope that things are going really well for you and that you are getting all geared up for the christmas season! <3
from lou-bee-doo :
...and (I'm so forgetful!) GOOD LUCK to you too!! I hope you have an amazing night and I'm sure it'll go really well :o) *moooore hugs* x x
from lou-bee-doo :
Helllooooo!!! *hugs* thank you for your kind note :o) I didn't do too badly, but I could have done so much better. I really need to get this organisation thing sorted out! lol :o) Hope you're doing okay x x x
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you :). Maybe if I was less indecisive I wouldn't have a problem! Oh well, I'll keep the faith that I might one day find something I enjoy doing, as I'm sure you will too! (let's just not think about how long that day might take in coming...)
from momma-at-17 :
GOOD LUCK!!
from lifeasme66 :
I'll say that it's a hassle to get all dressed up, but deep down inside, I know I like it =P Sounds like fun, girlie! Enjoy yourself and I hope you have a blast! **HUGS!!**
from skinnylizzie :
Being a girly girl rocks! Have fun tonight, especially in your new dress :)
from lou-bee-doo :
sending you LOADS if hugs and hoping that you're feeling better!!! *HUUUUGS!!!* xxxxx
from superluckie :
Try rubbing some minty ointment at your temples. Hope you're feeling better now! @--}---
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope you feel better and that you are enjoying your snow day!!
from lindzeeleigh :
When does my boss call me and tell me not to come into work?? Hehe. :P Glad you are enjoying your days off!
from blazingstar :
Awww, it hasn't snowed ONCE here yet! And they never cancel classes even when it does snow. Humph. I'm jealous :)
from newlywedblis :
Glad things are looking brighter--first snowfall is always so beautiful... we haven't had a real one here yet (and I'm hoping it holds off just a little bit longer while we try to set up things at our house). Good to hear from you again--so envious of your vacation!! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad to hear that you had a nice vacation - you deserve it. I am happy to hear that things are on the way and are okay. Still thinking about you. :)
from zkandaloza :
I don't like snow, but the first real snowfall is always so beautiful.
from noaddedme :
leaves us a lot of time to wonder too! I hope it's not as horrible as my imagination is letting it be!
from newlywedblis :
That sounds ominous! Hope you're doing ok and the time to think is helpful... There's lots of us out here thinking of you. Take care of yourself.
from superluckie :
Whatever happened? Take care, hope to hear from you soon. @--}---
from lou-bee-doo :
I hope you're okay...my thoughts are with you and I'm so so sorry that things are bad for you too. Take care and lots of hugs to you too x x thank you for your note x
from blazingstar :
What happened? Hope everything's okay...
from lindzeeleigh :
I hope everything is okay!! Know that I am thinking about you. Big hugs! xo
from skinnylizzie :
Glad to hear it :). Whatever's going on, I really hope it's all okay xx
from lindzeeleigh :
I can't believe that alley is so clean and tidy! Wow!
from the-moo :
yaaaaaaaaaaaay I have YET to read an entry of yours that doesn't make my brain AND my heart smile!! you're wonderful xxx
from lou-bee-doo :
:o) you know...I think the exact same thing about some places :o)...and I know what you mean about the braces, that's how strange I am...why else would I want something that annoys so many people so much??? lol :o) *hugs* x x x
from lou-bee-doo :
Mmmm...breakfast with someone you love is gooood :o) and I'm SOOOOO jealous about the plastination!!! (or however I'm meant to spell it!) My boyfriend has been to see something like that in London and I've watched that Gustav blokie on TV and I NEEEEEEED to see the bits of people!!! I know it sounds disrespectful but they did all donate themselves to this wonderful cause :o) I may just have to take ANOTHER thrip to Canada to check it out over there (oh, what a chore that'd be!!!! lol) x x x x x x x
from lindzeeleigh :
Glad to hear you had such a nice weekend, especially with J. :) I have heard about the Body Exhibit, that just sounds weird to me. I am not sure if I could go around and look....I am a little bit weak stomached!
from lifeasme66 :
Oooh, lucky you!!! =D **HUGS!!**
from superluckie :
That's sooo exciting! Which cities are you gonna tour? My parents went to Europe for their honeymoon & my mom said she liked Switzerland & Austria best! You're gonna have so much fun! Especially in spring, when it's warmer & all the flowers are blooming! I'm sure 2007 will be a great year for you both! @--}---
from fridayfilms :
Hell yeah. You can stay with us if you'd like. We don't have a lot of room but we do like company. :)
from lostinmylove :
I just wanted to say thank you for the sweet note. I really apprciate it. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
from momma-at-17 :
You make a super cute bumblebee you know that? :D
from lindzeeleigh :
Cute costume!! :) I like it.
from blazingstar :
Thanks for the advice...I will definitely keep you updated. I'm sure it'll work out in the end. At least we didn't have a fight or anything, and we are still best friends at the very least. Cute costume, by the way!
from lou-bee-doo :
I LOOOOVE your costume so so much :oD and I too am a slave to shopping...hence all the new clothes *oh the shame* every time I go near a shop I'm ensnared by the neeeeeed for 'things' and 'stuff' :o) *hugs* xxxx
from tootiturtle :
That is such a cute costume! :)
from evoen :
I wish! but that isn't me. Exciting baby news, though! Babies!!!!
from superluckie :
A middle-aged man from social dance class told me that, "When you get married, you'd wish you got married earlier. When you have children, you'd wish you had them earlier too!" So I'm sure it's gonna be different to have a kid around, but great! @--}---
from starlight42 :
your lives will certainly be very different! it's funny because you don't know how hard it can be or how much work etc., until you experience it. it's so much more than i thought. but it's awesome too!!
from lindzeeleigh :
That is such exciting news! I can't wait to read all about your journey. You and J will be wonderful parents! :)
from newlywedblis :
Wow! That's exciting news! I still waffle between being psyched and freaked out about how much our life will change, but I can't wait for March! :) Keep us posted!
from superluckie :
What you did for J was very sweet. I'm sure he appreciated it heaps. By the way, I'll be flying to Toronto next month! I've never been to Montreal before so I hope to check that city out too! @--}---
from the-moo :
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh so nice!! xxx
from the-moo :
*hugs* show us the ouchie shoes!! all of my shoes FEEL beautiful rather than look it... I've never been at all fashionable though I do try and my good friend lisa has sort of brainwashed me gradually into appreciating "cuteshoes" xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
I want to see the new cute shoes!! :)
from grt8f84me :
Girl...we never learn, do we? But at least you looked cute as hell, right? Have a good one, my sweets!
from skinnylizzie :
Hmm, wouldn't it be nice if somebody could write out a whole script for your life and you just make alterations where you see fit? I wish life came with a roadmap, dammit. Anyway, thank you for your note, and I also have to say that I'm v jealous of you getting to have some holiday time this side of Christmas!
from the-moo :
hahahha loubee was here and you were dressed as a bee... most perfect day ever haha! can't wait to see the pics!! xxx
from lou-bee-doo :
!!!! thank you for my note (and for backing me up over the jeans...I need all the help I can get!) and I just have to say...dressing up as a bee? You amazing person...you have lived my dream! :o) hee hee
from lindzeeleigh :
What a lovely present! I can believe that J was just thrilled. That was a very thoughtful and unselfish thing to do. He will never forget that.
from lindzeeleigh :
Thank you for your note. :) And I totally understand about thinking in gray....I often do as well and Ben is a very black and white person. You will slowly figure things out as time goes along, we are always learning and growing. :)
from starlight42 :
Thanks for the note of encouragement! Your neice is so beautiful!! Looks like you work in daycare, huh? I did as well, about 6 years back. It was an awesome experience!
from momma-at-17 :
Aww that's wonderful, there's no harm in that! Those are days to cherish!
from lindzeeleigh :
Awww- I love days like that!! :)
from superluckie :
Thanks for listing me as favourite diary & for the note! It must be beautiful now that it's autumn! It's spring in Sydney (my favourite season) but there have been quite a few sultry days so I reckon there's gonna be a hot summer coming up! @--}---
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you! I may just take your advice, nothing cheers me up like shoes :). Oh, if only I could do a speech on shoes instead...
from superluckie :
Hi! I enjoy reading your online diary! Indeed, beautiful things can stem from both goodness & adversity. That's why I like to look on the bright side of life even when things seem to be going so wrong! @--}---
from blazingstar :
Awww thanks! Glad you liked the picture :) Have a great weekend -- get some REST!
from grt8f84me :
You know...you are such a sweetie! I like the rainbow thing too. Something we should all keep in mind. Have a great weekend, chickie-poo!
from lindzeeleigh :
I like the rainbow thought - that is very true and I also needed to hear that. Thanks. :)
from the-moo :
WOW I'm glad that we could share the same thought over the same rainbow but at completely different times!!! *hugs* you always lift my spirit with your AMAZINGLY positive and wise words!! you ROCK!! xxxxxxx
from the-moo :
sometimes it's good to come here to your diary to be enchanted and delighted and content!! *hugs* I LOVE YOUR ENTRIES xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Awwww, what cute notes. And I can understand how you fell about J's job.....but he loves you immensely!
from the-moo :
THAT was absolutely STUNNING the picture and the entry - you are just so utterly UTTERLY beautiful in every way!! really you are!! I LOVED this entry and I LOVELOVELOVE you xxx
from newlywedblis :
Beautiful! :) I like the image of peopel as diamonds. There's so much to discover about the world, and sometimes even more about ourselves it seems.
from lindzeeleigh :
AHAHA - I am totally laughing at what your grandpa siad in response to your dad. That is hilarious!
from lifeasme66 :
LOL. Those are some of the BEST family convos to have, and they're certainly the most memorable! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :
I am totally laughing at the toilet seats being up! I love the things that you are thankful for - what a great list. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. :)
from momma-at-17 :
OMG That first picture is my favorite! She's adorable but I can play the biased game too, mines cuter. Lol ;) But she's an absolute doll!
from zkandaloza :
how adorable!
from lindzeeleigh :
Teehee - your niece is too cute!!! :)
from blazingstar :
Awww what a beautiful baby! I just want to smoosh my face against its face. If that's not too creepy or anything.
from lindzeeleigh :
I couldn't agree more with your view of taking a "break". I think that is a joke. Either you are going to stay together and work things out or you are breaking up - there is no in between for me!
from grt8f84me :
Thank you for the note. Right now, there are only two dolls posted, but I just bought some more supplies. Hopefully, by this weekend I'll have about 20 more posted. Glad you had a great time on your Vay-Kay!!!! ;)
from lindzeeleigh :
That is such a cute picture of you two!! I am sitting here going awwwww! HAve a lovely vacation! [insert jealous comments here] :P
from lifeasme66 :
Enjoy! I'm so jealous =) **HUGS!!**
from grt8f84me :
Have a great time on your vay-kay! Be safe!
from skinnylizzie :
I checked out that link and now I've stupidly fallen in love with a pair of Michael Kors boots, a snip at only $177! I'm no good with currency exchange, but even I know that that's still a LOT of pounds! But it is amazing how much shoes can cheer a girl up, so I shall say thank you once again for your notes and also for the link (the boots WILL be mine!)
from lindzeeleigh :
Congrats on the new office - that is awesome! Sometimes I wish I had an office so I could escape the kids! :P
from skinnylizzie :
Thank you for your lovely note :) xx
from noaddedme :
Might as well start practising to conceive! :)
from lindzeeleigh :
YAY for babies - that is so exciting! You will be a very cute pregnant mommy!
from newlywedblis :
Ugh. I wish I couldn't sympathise with your entry. :-P Sounds like there's a few of us out here though... hopefully that can help you a little big, just knowing you're not alone in it all. And thanks for the note--I might be a little slow but I just figured out you're looking into adoption? I've always dreamed of doing that someday... Keep us posted.
from noaddedme :
I'm going to be 38 and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I've had a lot of the same feelings as you have, but the important thing is to keep reaching for things that give you joy and help make you feel more complete! ****hugs****
from lindzeeleigh :
I think that you are not alone in how you feel and you will figure things out - don't give up!
from skinnylizzie :
It's funny, you just put down in words (apart from the husband parts, obviously!) exactly how I feel, and you're right, it's not nice. So I just stopped by to leave you a big hug in case you're still feeling a bit crappy xx
from momma-at-17 :
**HUGS** I'm always willing to listen if you'd like to talk! ~*♥*~
from zkandaloza :
Wow your house is beautiful! -Leticia
from lindzeeleigh :
Happy (real) Anniversary! [I was early last time!] I will email you the pic of the dress tomorrow, so watch your email for that. ;)

Well whaddaya know...your anniversary is the day after mine! Happy belated Anniversary! (this is i-found-him, by the way)
from skinnylizzie :
Ooh I hope you had a great anniversary :) xx
from badbadzoot :
congratulations on your two year and two day anniversary! Ahhh I'm de-lurking!! much love xoxoxoxoox
from lindzeeleigh :
Okay, I have the pictures now! So you can leave me a note with your email or you can email me at lindzeeleigh AT hotmail DOT com and then I can reply with the pictures for you! :)
from evoen :
Thanks for your advice cera-jeanne - i was honestly contemplating a breakup over this silly thing. ~hugs~ I'm sorry i could not think of a gift for your 2-year anniversary :(
from lindzeeleigh :
If you leave me an email addy i can send you a pic of it - I am going to take one tomorrow night when I go and buy it. :) I looked online to try and find it and I found the designer, but my specific dress was not on there. :( http://www.romanticbridals.com/4.htm That is the site....so you can browse through if you like. I tried to even find one similar and there isn't really one.... It is strapless, with an organza overlay and with some beadwork throughout the dress if that helps. :P
from momma-at-17 :
Congrats on 2 years!! Thats wonderful! Umm, I'm definitly going to think about this and get back to you ASAP if I think of something.
from lindzeeleigh :
Wow - happy almost two years!!! :) I will try and do some thinking and come up with a good idea for you two. I will get back to you on this one!
from the-moo :
I so much want to give you an idea that will be excellent so I can know I made this special day even better but the truth of the matter is.... you'll pick sometihng far better yourself because you're fab like that xxx

from lifeasme66 :
I'm sorry, hon... I'm sure it is hard. At least, it would be nice to be able to sleep with him every night... **HUGS!!**
from skinnylizzie :
Thanks for your note :). You look absolutely gorgeous in your pictures, and I LURVE your dress! I'm glad it was a decent evening (shame about the no-shows) :)
from lindzeeleigh :
You guys look so cute. :) I am glad that you had an okay time and realized how great things are right now for you and J. The dress looks lovely on you!
from blazingstar :
Have fun! That's the most important thing. And I'm sure you'll be able to laugh at some of the people there...I'm always wondering what my high school reunions will be like (if I get up the courage to go!)
from lindzeeleigh :
I would be nervous for my high school reunion too! I don't even know if i will go to mine.....but you will be great! I hope you have a lovely time. YAY for the new car!
from lifeasme66 :
I love the shoes! They will be so cute with that dress =) **HUGS!!**
from the-moo :
lovely lovely lovely lovely girl I don't tihnk I've ever known anyone who epitomises lovely so much as you AND you're sooo pretty with it!! damn you!! haha *hugs* xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Cute new dress! It sounds like the shopping trip was a success! I have picked up Crow Lake so many times, but have never read it yet. Now that you have said it was good, I am going to read it soon. Glad to hear you had such a good time with your friend, K. I love times like that. :)
from hip2bme :
Ahhh!!! That's so wonderful you want to adopt! Ignore what other people say. It's your and your husband's decision and I think what you want to do is wonderful!!! Please, let us know how it goes!!! I'm all excited here! heehee Oh, I added a Johari window to my blog!!! If you'd like to describe me, go here: http://kevan.org/johari?name=Hip2bme Hugs!!! Anele (PS: You're SO beautiful! Love the pics!!!)
from lindzeeleigh :
Lovely pics - you are lovely! I hope you have a fun sleepover and I look forward to reading more about the adoption process. I think that is so great that you are going to adopt. You are right, there are a lot of children in this world who are in desperate need for loving and caring people to be their mommies and daddies.
from evoen :
You're so pretty cera-jeanne! I hope to read more about your adoption adventure - i want to adopt too! I'd like a chinese or vietnamese little girl (since they're considered unwanted there) and she wouldn't look so foreign next to me. I can't adopt now since the maternal instincts haven't kicked in yet... but i'm hoping everything works out for you!
from grt8f84me :
That's great that you want to adopt! I wish my situation were different, because I had always wanted to adopt a child since I was adopted. But I dare not bring another innocent soul into this crap. I already feel bad enough that my own children live through it. Don't let anyone make you feel differently about adopting. That is a wonderful, loving act and all children deserve a chance to experience that! It sounds like you would be a great mommy!

I wish there were two of you. One of you could come back here!
from the-moo :
I LOVE the fact that you want to adopt I am just overwhelmed by how wonderful a couple you are TRULY WODNERFUL!!!! *hugs* let us know how it goes!!!! xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Wow, you do have nature at your fingertips! How beautiful. :) You are both very blessed. By the way, I think your job sounds great and it seems like you really like it, which is an instant plus.
from the-moo :
ooooooooooooooooooooh beyoooootiful!! xxx
from lindzeeleigh :
Where do you work?? Maybe I need to read back in your archives more..... LoL. I was the leader of a children's day camp for two years in a row a few years back and LOVED it. I loved being outside and playing with the kids and just having fun!
from crazyblueyes :
I found you on my reader list :) Thought i would say hi, i like the view from your window... that mountain in the background reminds me of where i grew up and how much i have always missed it.
from the-moo :
icreepyinternetloveyou xxx
from momma-at-17 :
That list really brightened my day. Thank you sweetie! ~*♥*~
from lindzeeleigh :
When I go to bed I have to have both doors to my room shut and I especially don't like seeing into the closet or the bathroom. There has always been something about that that I didn't like. If Ben is home and sleeping with me, I am fine, but alone I need to make sure those things are done! So I understand what you are saying. I can't believe you are so close to beautiful mountains and everything. Lovely!
from the-moo :
I love you your pictures make my heart feel warm and so do your words!! *hugs* I admire you BOATLOADS beautiful lady xxx
from skinnylizzie :
Oh man...I wish they would...of course, I'd have to buy another house to keep all of my shoes in, but I'd be able to afford it because of all the money I'd be saving on just plucking my shoes from trees! Oh good God, clearly my stupid brain is brought on by thinking about shoes...I really did only mean to stop by and say hello, and thank you for the note!
from fridayfilms :
Aw, don't be afraid to write in it. Just think about how nice it will be to pick up again in 10 years' time. You can see how much things have changed, and how much things have stayed the same. You're lovely and you shouldn't hope to be any bit different.
from lindzeeleigh :
I sometimes think that way too - that things are so good at one moment that they can't possibly stay that way forever. But sometimes, they can. :)
from evoen :
Congratulations on your new place! It's great everything worked out for the best!
from lindzeeleigh :
Can't wait to see pics of your new place. :)
from momma-at-17 :
This makes #3 for today. I'm addicted to leaving you notes. Lol :) Anyway, I just saw your note, and I actually unlocked this one. But if you still need the info for the other two let me know ok?
from momma-at-17 :
Aww, she beat me to it... *sniffles* I tagged ya too. Lol.
from dreamofblue :
happy belated birthday to you and J!! *hugs*
from momma-at-17 :
I bet your hair looks beautiful!! Happy belated Birthday!! I meant to stop by yesterday but was having problems with my internet. Funny thing is my boyfriends birthday was yesterday as well. But Happy birthday nonetheless! I hope it was a good one!! ~♥~
from dreamofblue :
yay! moving day!! i can't wait to see pics of the new place and the new hair. ;-)
from grt8f84me :
But I bet you looked good as you went flying! Let's say...as you floated. That is too funny! Hope you're OK?
from lindzeeleigh :
Oh my goodness! I am glad J is okay! That is a very scary situation indeed. *hugs*
from lindzeeleigh :
I am glad things are going so well for you. :) It really is amazing how a little bit of communication can help out a relaltionship so much. Good luck with the packing and moving, I am sure you will be in your new house in no time!
from lifeasme66 :
Cute!! So exciting! **HUGS!!**
from lindzeeleigh :

from fridayfilms :
cera, I haven't been able to write you an email because I've been so busy since I've been back and can't send them from home. But I have so much to tell you about! Everything in my life has changed for the better, and I'm moving to London this year! I'll write more soon, when I get a chance.

from hip2bme :
It's ok to be afraid to loose the ones we love. That's what love is about. If you didn't fear to loose it, then you didn't really love him. I guess it goes for all kinds of love. I fear to loose my parents. Sometimes I think maybe I've let my dad down since he had sucha high expectations for me. I'm afraid to loose the few friends I have. I fear they will look at me and think, why do I like her? And simply leave me. That's how it goes. You'll be just fine! Hugs!!! Anele
from grt8f84me :
Well, no-pissy pants from me, Sister!!! Hope it gets better...and now you got me thinking about people trying to piss up a pole...That's funny shit!
from lifeasme66 :
Oh yay for you!! Those horrid neighbors... **HUGS!!**
from the-moo :
Hope things get sorted soon *huuuug* I had a nasty day today too lets have ice cream watch a film and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist! xxx
from hip2bme :
Good luck babe. We're going thru it right now too, and it's so annoying to have people come and look at our house all the time and don't buy it! I'm about to scream "only come for viewing if you mean to buy it!". It's like they come for entertainment. "Ok, we have nothing to do, let's go view some houses and annoy the people who live in them!"
from blazingstar :
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you got to go away for the weekend, what a nice surprise! You're a lucky girl :)
from hip2bme :
Thank you for your note and birthday wishes, darling!!! I'm very happy!!! Much love to you! Hugs, Anele
from fridayfilms :
God, you guys are the sweetest ever. I'm going to be there between 10 am and 5:55 pm, so if you hurried, you might make it in time to wave at the tail end of plane as it's taking off. Oh well.
from lifeasme66 :
Awww! That is the absolute sweetest thing I've heard a boy do for his girl. Nothing but smiles for you here =) **HUGS!!**

from lifeasme66 :
Aww hon, I'm sorry! If it helps, you can vent to me =D **HUGS!!**
from hip2bme :
Thank you so much for your note, darling! Yes, I think it meant a lot to my grandma that I made it there. That's why I went there. I think I just wouldn't be able to feel happy if I didn't. And thanks for caring, I know things will look brighter for me soon. No sadness lasts forever! Much love to you! Hugs, Anele

thanks for the add! And the comment! This whole "getting married" thing is so overwhelming, yet so exciting! We're getting married Sept. 23 this year on the beach in the Outer Banks, NC. I'm going with the less ruffly dress, because it's more beach appropriate... and your wedding pictures look beautiful! much love xxxooo
from momma-at-17 :
Thank you so much. I did get some more sleep last night. I'm hoping to get him into the doctor today. I hope all is well with you!! Have a wonderful day! ~♥~
from hip2bme :
Hi sweetie! Thanks for adding me and I'm adding you back, you have such a heartwarming diary. I loved it! You and your husband look absolutly gorgeous! Now I'm going darling, I'm taking the most important person in the world for me to have lunch: My beloved mother! Hope to talk to you soon! Much love to you! Anele

Aww!! You guys are so sweet, I love it! =D **HUGS!!**
from all-on-paper :
Thanks for the note. I've gone through these "bad stages" before with haircolor. But it's just that I went to professionals and they weren't encouraging in any way. What the hell? How dare I ask for blonde hair when my hair is so dark. *sigh* Yeah, anyway. Thanks!
from fridayfilms :
Miss you back.
from lifeasme66 :
I really felt your last two entries, hon. I've been told too by exes that I was stupid or ugly... or any amount of negative words. I think it's strange that, even though you know you're not, just the fact that they actually said those words to you is something you don't easily forget. And about feeling alone and needy, I hope the sensation will pass. Usually, it does. Here's a hug in the meantime *HUG*!
from fridayfilms :
Ms. Sarah, you're always in mine too. I'll write you an email just as soon as I stop feeling horrible about things, in general. Love, and I hope you're doing well.
from momma-at-17 :
I don't think you're stupid, I think that you are a very bright and intelligent person. Not to mention a total sweetheart!!
from momma-at-17 :
Thank you! As do you!!! ~♥~ BTW, I hope that J's gonna take you someplace pretty and romantic!
from lifeasme66 :
Just wanted to say, you look quite snazzy with the short, blonde do! **HUGS!!**

i hope your grandfather gets better soon! *hugs* i got your email and i tried to send pictures to you, but your email address didn't work. do you have another one?
from lifeasme66 :
I am so sorry, hon. My aunt just passed of a stroke, so I know what you are going through. Low hemoglobin just means that his blood levels are low, he's probably a little anemic. They'll give him iron and some meds for that. I'll be praying for you and your family **HUGS!!**
from grt8f84me :
I wish there was something I could say...You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
from noaddedme :
I hope your grandpa is out of the hospital and feeling better soon!

I'm so sorry that this has happened but I wish you mush happiness and love and peace with him in the abundance of time you have left!! you're wonderful and I'm sure he feels incredibly blessed to have you in his life!!! xxx

Oh Cera, I'm sorry. Take care and let me know if you want to talk (email).
from grt8f84me :
Well, aren't you a little cutey! Have fun tonight, be safe, and welcome back! Were you able to get some cute ass shoes for tonight? LOL. The beer, I'm taking care of! HaHa. I'll be in touch, Missy!
from i-found-him :
I responded to the note you left me this morning...but I put it in my own notes section instead of yours! *oops* Thanks for leaving me a note. I'll definitely check out your diary. In fact, I'll add it right now! :) have a good day!

aaaaaaaw I hate saying goodbye whoever she is I'm glad she was there for you when you needed it *hugs* also.. I look forward to seeing hunky hubby in uniform ;-) hehe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
from fridayfilms :
Hey Cera. Let's meet up at your place and go together - that way we won't have to worry about finding one another in a parking lot. I'm going to the gym after work but will do the circuit and be home in plenty of time to meet you at 6:40.
from fridayfilms :
Can't sleep either, hey? Sure, I'll take those off your hands.
from lifeasme66 :
Ah, your entry made me think. I, too, should be looking for strawberries **HUGS!!**
from fridayfilms :
I sure did (whoo).
from fridayfilms :
Well okay then. See you tomorrow?
from fridayfilms :
Sure, I'll take your wee plant (though I might inadvertantly kill it).
from fridayfilms :
But of course. Hey, do you and Joel want 2 tickets to see a Mozart piano concerto at 8:00 tonight? Let me know.
from fridayfilms :
Aw, I wanted to respond to that sooner but Dland had a breakdown. I feel the same way, silly tipsy girl. I hope you're feeling okay after all that beer. xo
from fridayfilms :
Sorry, I didn't mean to shout - my keyboard was a little screwy. Call me if you're still up and wanting to go and I'll decide then. Otherwise I'll assume this was a drunken message left right before you passed out a half hour ago.
from fridayfilms :
WHAT< RIGHT NOW?
from fridayfilms :
Yes! (And sorry about your poor car. People suck here for the most part.)
from fridayfilms :
Hi, yes, we'd be up for that! Are you coming to the gym tonight? Body blast... I didn't go last night, I wasn't feeling very well.
from the-moo :
aaaaaw sweedeee *hugs* well done on the dress though xxx

I sho am biatch. I'll see you there!
from the-moo :
*huuuuuuuuuuuuugs* well done him and I hope you sleep soon - I remember being in the sleepless place!! xxx
from fridayfilms :
It was okay. I had a really painful stitch throughout most of it, but it was worth it. I just ate a crapload of pizza though, which wasn't the best idea.
from fridayfilms :
Hey, unfortunately it's either power pacing or nothing for me. It's the only thing that will keep me moving for an entire hour without wussing out and stopping. Why don't you give it another try, and if you're in pain or tired, you can slow down and stand on the pedals. They like for you to go at your own pace, so it wouldn't be a big deal. Or meet me there and we can do our own seperate things (I'll do pp, you can do the step machine) and meet up before and after. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but it might motivate us.
from fridayfilms :
Hey lady. Are you coming to power pacing tonight?
from the-moo :
I love winter - we've not had PROPER snow this year I'm jealous xxx
from momma-at-17 :
I totally agree with you about winter, yesterday was GORGEOUS and now today it's been snowing since about 11 this morning. Ick. Gotta love those mornings where you have to get up extra early to dig out your car huh?
from fridayfilms :
Hey, I'm up but can't access hotmail at the moment (I should really keep a paper record of your number). Did you still want to get together? I think I was supposed to see Amy today but I can't get a hold of her. Are you interested in lunch or something? Or do you have a specific shopping purpose in mind?
from fridayfilms :
Quite possibly yes. I'll call you when I get up (it's now 4:30 and I haven't slept yet, so that may not happen until noon). I have to double-check that I'm not actually meeting with Amy first though.
from fridayfilms :
Hilo. Don't imagine you've changed your mind about power pacing today?
from momma-at-17 :
Cute kid! I can't imagine how much my back would kill me from sleeping on an air mattress. I don't blame you for wanting a real bed, I'd be dying to sleep in one too!
from the-moo :
beautiful beautiful you and I LOVE kids humour it amuses me greatly!! hehe!! *hugs* xxx
from sixelasauce :
hi! I do not think that I have left a note on here yet! I read you every entry...i should have said something by now! sheesh!! I just wanted to say that I think that you are a strong woman and a great gal..I am so happy that you get to go home to your fam and your new adventure with your hubbies career...you guys are good people. good wishes to you.. :)
from fridayfilms :
Yes, coffee on Sunday would be grand. Maybe Atlantis? Hey, will you do power pacing with me tomorrow evening?
from fridayfilms :
Hey lovely Ms. Cera. That would be fantastic but I already committed myself to a one-on-one wine date with a girl I haven't seen or spoken to since I don't know when. Ariel used to be the glue that held us together but we've decided to go it alone. Is there another night you two would be free? We'd sure like to hang out again soon.
from the-moo :
haha ooooops!!! quick put it down and read something fluffy and nice!! xxx
from momma-at-17 :
Awww that's so sweet!! You're very lucky to have such a good guy!
from the-moo :
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW that was so cute just so cute I just about burst everywhere and died AAAW you two are so sweet bless him for writing that and bless you for loving him so much and just AAAAAW SO CUTE! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
from the-moo :
*donates* aaaaaaw sweetheart I've been there before - not the exact position :-( it's worse that your heart and ehad are waring because then it tires you out more and makes it even worse!! you EVER want to chat email me and we shall whine and moan and I shall attempt to give you all the strength I can steal from people who don't need it ;-) LOVES xxx
from fridayfilms :
Whoops, I meant 4:45.
from fridayfilms :
Usually by around 5:15 or so people start lining up for the cards. They're pretty serious about it too, so I don't think I could save you a spot. Try to get there by around then, I guess, and we should be fine.
from fridayfilms :
Yes, absolutely let's do power pacing. You'll love it I think. It's not difficult but you really work up a sweat doing it. I'm pretty proud of me too. I just hope I can remember how they all work in a few days when I go back to using them again.
from blazingstar :
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for reading my diary! I just read one of your old entries where you talk about having trouble speaking your mind when you're angry or upset...I definitely relate to that. I'm the queen of saying "I don't know" when people (usually my boyfriend) ask me what's wrong. I usually just try to shrug it off instead of talking about it. Anyway, hi!
from fridayfilms :
100,000,000 is the amount I'm going to miss you when you leave. You can tally that any way you'd like. *sniff*
from the-moo :
I worry about that kind of thing too! *hug* but who on earth would rather be anywhere than with someone like you if they had the choice?? LOVES xxxxxxxx
from fridayfilms :
Except for those gigantic gobstoppers. Those things last forever.
from fridayfilms :
Oh well. I guess I have to start learning how to go alone anyway, seeing as how you won't be here in less than a month. :(
from lifeasme66 :
Ah yes, I totally hear you. **HUGS!!**
from the-moo :
Oh yaaay I am so so so so haooy for you.. it makes me happy by proxy!! *hug* honestly.. :-D that really made me smile I'm so pleased!! xxx
from momma-at-17 :
In-Salted that's great!! Cracked me up. I've been reading for awhile now, I haven't commeted before though. Love your writing!
from the-moo :
hahahaa I would have eaten them mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! LOVE that picture.. can we swap faces?? ;-p xxxxxxxx
from the-moo :
aaaaaw wow that really is all exciting but it will all be waaaay too amazing for you to comrehend in the future which is why you can't know now.. it would blow your mind.. you'll just have to cling to each other.... and wait!! *hugs* I wish you all of the very very best!! You're so brave xxxxxxxxxx
from lifeasme66 :
I liked this entry, and I have to agree with you. Life is like an exciting story... and I want to see the last page too sometimes =) **HUGS!!**
from heylee :
Wow. That was such a sweet entry. And the funny thing was we both posted the sappiest entry at almost the same time.;) Everytime I read your diary, I completely understand. Both of our boys are going through similar stuff right now. But it does take a lot of the pressure off to know that we love them so much and they feel the same. :)
from the-moo :
aaaaaaaaaaaw cutest entry in the world!! it's my first anniversary soon!! you're wodnerful and your HUSBAND is a lucky man *mush* I love how cute that entry was!! CONGRATULATIONS!! xxx
from lifeasme66 :
Awww, that was so sweet!!! **HUGS!!**
from fridayfilms :
Hey Whiskyhead. I'm in no shape to be sitting up right now, let alone power pacing. But I promise I'll be there tomorrow (and hopefully you can be too). Hope you're feeling okay, and thanks for your last post. We're quite fond of you as well!
from the-moo :
you are just so so so so sweet!!! hope the hangover isn't too bad lovely one. just so you know.. you're gorgeous and you don't NEED drunkeness as an excuse to post pics you should post them all of the time.. give the public what they want!! *huuugs* I need to go trawling through your archives so I can catch up on some back story on you.. but yes.. I like you a whole lot!! xxx
from fridayfilms :
I'll check the email again but I'm pretty sure it starts at 7:00, so we'll come get you at around 20 minutes to. Okay? (That is, unless P has to work later though he was back by 4:00 yesterday).
from fridayfilms :
Of course you should come, silly. It'll be fun. There'll be a good number of people (but not too many) and Dana is the nicest person I know. It'll be fun. I'll send you the email, okay? You can ignore the directions part because we'll obviously take you.

Oh, what are you up to this evening? At 7:00 there's an Oscars party at our friend Dana's. There's loads of free food and alcohol and she has a very big screen. There's also v. good prizes (she spends an increddible amount of money on this event), which you can win through voting. You should come if you're feeling up to it, J too if he's not back at depot.
from fridayfilms :
Hey la Cera. Yes, I think so, though it's hard to tell as I've a bit of a gin hangover. This is what happens when you drink on an empty stomach of 5-days (that's not fair, I guess, I shouldn't disregard coffee). Let's do the gym thing tomorrow before my muscles turn to ice cream.
from the-moo :
EEEEEEEEEH you've lovely AND beautiful.. a fatal combination but one I'm happy to feel connected to!! *hugs* xxx
from lifeasme66 :
LOL Loved the little tour through your apartment. Reminds me of all the lovely little touches to my own apartment ;) **HUGS!!**
from misspinkkate :
Thanks girl, I think it could be fun- give the boys a little something pretty to look at :-D
from fridayfilms :
Oh, that'll give me plenty of time. I don't have much of an appetite so it'll probably be toast or something. I did eat nearly a whole (smallish) thing of Ben & Jerry's half-baked ice cream over the past few days, though. That was smart.
from fridayfilms :
Hey lady. I'm sick like a very sick dog at the moment and probably won't make the gym tomorrow either. If you're not afraid of sick germs and feel like it, come over for a visit. I promise not to sneeze on you. I'm going into work for the afternoon but then will be home by 4:30 or so.
from the-moo :
*huuuuuugs* I want a teddy shaped pizza maybe you should make one shaped like that really "attractive" man at the gym hahaha and take great pleasure in destroying it ;-)
from fridayfilms :
Hey, you're definately not one of the people I'd wish away right now. Even though you're only here for a short time, you've quickly become an important part of my week, so thank you for that. It's nice to have some support that is non-jugemental in the way that it can be with people who've known you for years. Anyway, I'm at home, ill, so it looks like I won't be at the gym tonight. She's switched Body Blast to Tuesdays and Thursdays in the gym now, which is kind of okay with me because it means I no longer have to do the step class. I kind of hated that, to be honest. I overheard Glenda telling someone that a guy she knew lost 40 lbs from doing Power Pacing alone, and that's on MWF so I'd like to try it out when the new schedule takes shape next week. Let me know if you're in. We can be hard core pacers! How's that for an increddibly long note?
from fridayfilms :
Thanks girlie. I'm very sorry you felt sad today. Hopefully this next week goes better for you.
from fridayfilms :
Me again. That did sound like a somewhat depressing way to spend the weekend, but you're so close to being done! Soon you'll be back at home, with J, surrounded by everything you know and love. Just keep that in mind. Also, we can work it out at the gym tomorrow, sista! I'd love to have coffee with you but I'm feeling very ill today, which I'm ashamed to say is all my fault. I am an awful person but I promise to make it up to everyone soon. Well, to at least you.
from fridayfilms :
Hey Cera. I have two extra tickets to the Opera tonight, if you and J are interested in going together. I think there's 4 singers, a cowboy poet and some guitarist. They're calling it the Grand Ole Opra (ha). Anyway, P is sick, so if it turns out J is back at depot before 7:30 tonight (can't see how he would be, but you never know), you could be my date if you wanted. Either way, let me know and I'll arrange it through P's mom.
from the-moo :
I have added you (just so you know) but you're in the middle of my list because my list is full so I had to delete someone else to get you on so you're not at the bottom with the other new reads you're in the middle.. just so you know!!!!1 *huuuuuuuugs* ps - you're so preeeeeeeeedy I could cry! hehe xxxxxxx
from fridayfilms :
I'll miss you too (provided I'm one of the handful). Oh, and nice new design!
from fridayfilms :
Hey you. Don't be too disappointed, but I think I'm going to have to skip the gym again this evening. I didn't sleep last night and am even less energetic than I thought I would be today. But give a call/note if you want to get together at any point over the weekend. Otherwise, have a good one!
from fridayfilms :
A fantastic suggestion, Ms. Jeanne. If you feel like it, we should have a drink afterwards before you pick up J (though not a thousand drinks because I was in rough shape the following Saturday that last time around).
from fridayfilms :
I have my stripping gear with me, so yes, let's meet.
from holditback :
You guys are such an adorable couple.
from lifeasme66 :
Aww, what a sweetie you are =) **HUGS!!**
from fridayfilms :
Absolutely. I'm due for a good work-out.
from fridayfilms :
Ahhhh! Congratulations! We must celebrate celebrate celebrate! Celebrate! That's terrific news.
from fridayfilms :
So far so good, I think. I haven't broken anything, so that's something. I'm rushing around doing housework like mad so that I can be ready for 8. Will you be ready to go around then? I'll give you a call when I'm a bit closer to being ready and you can direct away.
from fridayfilms :
Hello! I am feeling better, thanks. I think I just really needed a rest (and to eat something that wasn't carrots). P and I have already seen the Harry Potter movie, but you enjoy. And of course you can get a ride with us on Sunday. Our vehicle is really just a mobile trash can, but I'll let you sit up front so that you can avoid the worst of it.
from fridayfilms :
Hey cera, I'm going to be a big jerk and whimp out on boxercise tonight because I feel like hell. I didn't eat much today except for carrots and now my stomach hurts (not a good way to go into a gym). But hopefully you get this note before you go. Let me know if you or you and J would like to get together at some point this weekend. And of course I'll see you on Sunday night. x
from fridayfilms :
Ha! I did exactly the same thing last night. And I'm betting over 70% of the city did as well. Nothing makes a trip to the grocery store impossible like -50 degree weather.
from holditback :
I just read your entry about how scared you are, and I empathize. My daddy was a cop for many, many years in Los Angeles and Chicago. It's hard, but when a man's passionate like that, you can't deterr them. Not that you'd try, but I know it's crossed your mind cause it crossed my mom's a few times. You just want so badly for nothing to happen to them, sometimes you forget how much they actually WANT that line of work, and sometimes you just don't care how much they want it because you love them and just want them safe. I have a lot of respect for J simply because he's willing to lay his life down in protection of others, it's commendable. You got a good one there, but I think you know that! ;)
from fridayfilms :
Sure, sounds good. Maybe we can do laps or something. I need some serious cardio after the week I've had, especially given the brownies. Ugh.
from fridayfilms :
Oh cera that's horrible! I can't believe they'd do that to him. It's obviously not his fault. P thinks he should tell them to brace it and then try to work through the pain until it's over. This is a major test of his resiliance, and I know you'll both get through it. I'm crossing my fingers.
from fridayfilms :
Yes, let's do the gym tomorrow. I'm thinking of going to step tonight but I'm worried about being the only one there. She has a low count of participants on the best of days, and most people are headed out to dinner for you-know-what.
from grt8f84me :
Just wanted to say, "Hi." Thanks for adding me as a fav. I read your last couple of entries. You sound so happy with your hubby! Happy for you!
from lifeasme66 :
My last day? Wow, that'd be hard. I know I'd want to spend half of it with Ryan... and the other half with my family. Probably, the first half with Ryan, because I don't want him to suffer through the last minutes. And, I'd most likely want to be here (SoCali) for the very end. Tough question! **HUGS!!**
from lifeasme66 :
Hi there, I wanted to thank you for visiting and for adding me as a favorite. I started reading some of your journal and, I have to say, I enjoyed your words. Particularly, the entry about your ex-best friend. Something touched me. I'm adding you too... **HUGS!!**
from fridayfilms :
I don't know the situation very well, but I was in a similar one myself fairly recently. A very close friend broke ties with me because his wife had issues with me and was lashing out in many passive-aggressive ways until I finally snapped and called her on it. I was very unhappy for a while, and disappointed that he couldn't see my side of things. I tried to make amends without completely losing my pride, but it was just one big waste of effort. There's really only so much a person can do to restore a friendship, and it's virtually impossible to do all on your own. There has to be a desire on both parts for reconcilliation, and it sounds to me like your friend was given plenty of opportunities to resolve things but chose not to take them. You may have to just put the whole thing behind you, because it sounds like you've done all you can. Your friend may not have the self-confidence to be much of a friend anyway, from the sounds of things.
from heylee :
I completely relate with you and your situation right now. We didn't have to move, but the stress of medic school all last year, him being gone for a week at a time, and now fire academy until April has really put a lot of pressure on my fiance and I. I've told myself many times that in the entirety of our lives, this time period is only a small little chunk. I know that at the end of this, we will be better off job wise(for Brian)but it is still very trying at times. Keep your chin up, it WILL get better. Take care.
from holditback :
For some reason, I clicked the link to see how many diaries listed me, expecting to see just the one. I can't believe somebody else out there actually reads this thing. But hey, if somebody else can put up with my whining, okay! :) And I'm going to start reading your's if that's okay. :)
from fridayfilms :
Why don't we meet at the pp class at around 5:00 and find out what it is. If it sounds too scary, we can chicken out and do whatever. Even abs and core strength would be fine, though I don't know how well I'll be able to hold myself up today. I didn't get much sleep last night after all.
from fridayfilms :
What's powerpacing? Is that cardio? If so, maybe we should do that, although I'm a bit intimidated by gym things I've never even heard of before.
from fridayfilms :
With bar bells on.
from take-two :
thanks for the support, sis. it truly means everything.
from fridayfilms :
Hi, I'll try and meet you at the gym, but right now I'm having trouble getting ahold of P and he has my stuff. He had a meeting today, so I'm hoping he'll be done in time to bring my bag and drop me at the gym. Save me a spot if you're there first, and hopefully I'll see you there!
from fridayfilms :
Yeah, the scotch? I don't think it was very effective. Though who knows, maybe I'd be in worse shape today if I hadn't had any. Hope you're having a good day. I just had a cheese sandwich and some Advil and am going back to bed now.
from fridayfilms :
(God I'm dense, I just left this note on my own page!) Sure, we can meet up later. I'm not sure if I should go home first and bathe (I wouldn't want to impress your friend with the idea that we're an unwashed bunch here), which would take a bit of time. Would 8:00 pm be too late? Let me know. I'll give you dinner suggestions too, if you'd like. But for a drink, I say we go either to La Bodega (Albert street downtown) or Bushwakker if you're in the mood for something pubby.
from fridayfilms :
I take it you're not feeling well enough to go to the gym today? Let me know, because I may not go either, if that's the case. I'm feeling tired and yucky today and need some extra incentive to get myself over there.
from fridayfilms :
Obviously, I meant that we could pick YOU up.
from fridayfilms :
Do you want to come? We could probably pick me up. Call within the next ten or so minutes if you do.
from fridayfilms :
No worries. I only slept about 3 hours last night so I'm in no shape to go either.
from fridayfilms :
Definately! And congratulations on your placement! At the very least, you can rest easy knowing that you got the right province.
from fridayfilms :
I'll be there with bells on. Or a pair of pants and a top, at the very least. I'll set you up a step thingy if I get there early enough.
from fridayfilms :
Hey cera, I'm glad you had a fantastic (despite hungover) weekend! I will be at the gym tomorrow for 5:30 and will save you a spot (I typically get there by 5:10 so that I can nab a spot at the back). I think it's the Ultra Body Blast one tomorrow, but if not, I'll be doing whatever they have going on at the Track (just down the hall from the change rooms and up the stairs). Don't forget to bring water!
from fridayfilms :
Oh cera, I wish you weren't feeling so sad! Why don't you come with me to the gym in the evenings? I try to go every day at 5:30. It may pick up your spirits somewhat on both a physical and social level (as much as you can socialize while huffing and puffing over aerobic techno). Let me know.
from fridayfilms :
You can usually find a recycling bin, dumpster-sized, by places like IGA on Hillsdale (South on Broad) or at the Southland mall, for instance. If you want to get a few bucks back, take them to Sarcan (I forget what street it's on, but it should be in the phone book). Hope that helps.
from fridayfilms :
I'm getting together with a friend at 5:15 to book our tickets to Poland and I'm not sure how long she'll be here. I'll tell you what. Why don't you give me a call when you're done with your registration, because I'll either be at home (just a few blocks from where you'll be, likely) or within distance of you. If I'm not home, my cell will be on (the number is on my message manager, but P will give it to you if he's home). Then you can either come over or we can talk about where to meet. Sound okay?
from fridayfilms :
Hey you. Sorry I didn't get back to you about that movie. I got back into town and then was very sick. I'm still bedridden, but hopefully will be better by Monday. Maybe we can have coffee sometime next week? Let moi know. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
from fridayfilms :
Hey, Happy New Year to you as well! I hope you had a good time, despite the fact that you were here.
from fridayfilms :
When do you leave on Sunday? Do you want to come over at noon for brunch? Write back and let me know if you do.
from fridayfilms :
We're banning that wine bar anyway. They've been very exclusive towards the community that actually lives in proximity to it, favouring instead people who look like they're made of money. They won't last long with this attitude, at least that's my hope. Then maybe a real Cathedral wine bar will replace it.
from fridayfilms :
Hey Sarah. I may have an extra ticket to the LG Arts Awards happening at 6:00 tonight (Thursday). Would you be interested? I make no promises, because I'm not sure how to get in touch with the potential ticket holder. But I just wanted to make sure that you were free in case I could.
from heylee :
So sorry for your loss...*hugs
from fridayfilms :
Hey, I've read backwards a bit and just tried sending you an email. Even when I configured it properly, it still shot back a Delivery Notification. Do you have another email address?
from fridayfilms :
Hi there. Thanks for adding me! I'm going to take a peek at your diary when I get the chance.
from sparkspark :
Wishing you many happy years ahead!
from heylee :
Happy Anniversary to you and Joel!!!
from heylee :
Great pics on your other diary! :)
from sparkspark :
Thanks for your note--I hope that today is better for you, and that you get some peace and quiet in your boss's absence.
from heylee :
Sure you can have the password. Email me at budderfli13 AT hotmail DOT com. Take care. :D

from evoen :
Greetings Cera-Jeanne! Take your time obsessing over ever detail of your wedding! It's the right of every bride!!! It's all part of the fun! Congratulations & wishing you all the best ^_^. Tootles!
from iluvjessee :
Hi! CONGRADULATIONS on your wedding!!!!!! Thats wonderful about you! Thats great you already have people like the dj booked and the bridesmaids and flowergirls already have dresses. My fiancee and I have been engaged since Sept. 7, 2002. We have tried to set a date/ or dates but it didnt work. We still want to get married though, just dont have a date set yet.
