That is a moms job to protect her babies! Glad its over for ya. Busy busy busy here. Most of the neighbors are starting to pack up for their run away mode the end of the month! WAHOO! ;D I cant tell you how much I am looking forward to the peace and quiet of an abandoned street. Dear Lord please give me the strength to not rip this woman apart before she leaves. One set allowed their 17 y/o doggie to run off even tho they knew he was blind/deaf and seeking a spot to die. He made it to the lake, and got trapped under a dock. He was alive when they pulled him out, but died soon after. MORONS! I wanted so badly to slap them. Jack is doing better. I think I will cut back on his meds now and see how well he does. I am looking forward to this episode being over with! he is friendly and sweet again. I missed him. Not discussing my weight. its stuck! I dropped 35 pounds, and now the scale wont move. The MS clinic tells me its because of my meds, but I dont care! I want it gone! I did stop taking my injections daily. I have decided to become a quitter! there is only a 30% chance of it helping anyway. I have run thru all the drugs they have, so now I am bareback in the world of MS. Dont care. I would rather be dragging a leg and be able to think and participate in my life, then be whole and not able to add two and two. What is everyone up to?

I went clothes shopping yesterday! I fit into a size 38 pair of jeans now!!!! Squeeeee! I used to be a 46. It is surprisingly easy to find clothes to fit when you arent that big. And cheaper too! Who knew?
Loving how I feel on this diet. Since it has started to cool down we have been walking around the apartment complex at night. 4 laps we think equals 1.5-2 miles. Not quite sure. But its taking us 30 minutes for those 4 laps, so thats pretty good. I was super sore when I first started but now my body is adjusting and I love it.
Gotta stick to this. October was the goal. Lets see how close I can get to that goal.

All right! Congrats Kik! I'm still struggling with my diet. I did cut Sodas out of my diet though. Well sorta. I'm back on Coke Zero sometimes, but it has zero everything, so there. Drinking water too. I haven't kept up with my twitter posts about my weight recently, gotta get back to that too. I gotta lose this weight. The back pain is becoming more than I can handle. I can't stand up for very long at all before the pain sets in, then I'm in agony. I gotta lose it!

PLEASE CUT ALL SODAS! the sodium level in those things (even the ZERO sodas) is outrageous! The aritificial sweetners trick your pancreas, liver and appetite into thinking that they are getting calories and substinance and then when none arrives, it throws out the "im hugry!" vibes because you just created all sorts of chemicals to take care of the calorie load that was expected. It can also increase depression, and anxiety sx. did you know a by product of aspertame is formaldehyde? Please if any of you are on a diet, lay down the soda! I would rather see you switch to juice or water, or even God forbid milk. At least your body knows what to do with those things. www.mcmanweb.com/diet_coke.htmlwww.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/health/3221547.htmlhealth.yahoo.net/experts/drmao/what-soft-drinks-are-doing-your-bodyRant over. Jack went the whole night with NO meds! whee! He will get meds tonight, and then go 2 days with none. then meds and then 3 days with none. This way I transition him off slowly.

You are totally right. I used to be addicted to Pepsi and Coke but I have cut it out almost entirely. Almost but not all of it. I still enjoy a Pepsi or a Dew from time to time. But I drink several butt loads of water each day now in place of Pepsi. I've heard several times that diet pops are worse for you than regular cause of the aspertame. I had no idea about the formaldehyde part of it though. Very interesting.

I am still drinking my heritage Dr. Pepper damnit. its the kind made with real sugar. I have cut it down to maybe 1-2 cans a day though. Its very difficult to not drink soda when I work at Coca Cola though. free fountan drink is awesome.
I know what you mean about feeling hungry though, i have that issue. but some days i just have to have it. its my reward for sticking to the diet.

I was having the same problem, Kik. I work at a restaurant and get free pop as well. Its very easy to drink it like mad when its right there and you don't have to pay a penny.

Soooo, I went to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World today. That movie was one video game reference after another. It starts with the Universal screen in 8-bit and then the credits start with the opening theme from Zelda: A link to the Past. Certain sound effects come from a lot of old school games you can recognize right away. Even Scott's band is a video game reference. The Sex Bob-ombs. ;D
It was such a nerdy movie and I really enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

You know, I've been thinking I was going to like that movie, but after reading this, I know I will. 8-bit Universal screen?! Zelda theme! And hey, its a nerdy movie. No wonder it didn't do good at the thearter. Bet its going to be a Cult classic on DVD/Blu-ray though. Looking forward to seeing it. (as an aside: the Scott Pilgrim game is a blast! Its a very cool 2-D side scrolling beat 'em up and can be found on both X-box Live and the PSN). Anyway, our Wii has stopped loading games (it does still play all of the games on the system & SD card though), so can't play any of our Wii games. No Animal Crossing: City Folk. Also, this means when my copy of Metroid Other M finally shows, I won't be able to play it on my Wii. SIGH. Thank goodness my mom has a Wii too and has already said I could play the game on her Wii. Now, just have to wait till the game shows up... We are going to have to send our Wii into Nintendo next month to get it repaired. Other than that, not much happening here. DF2506

Its too bad it bombed in the box office. I think I read the movie had a $80 million budget and only made $20 million. So if they want to break even then the Blu Ray/DvD is gonna hafta sell like mad. Aside from all the video gamey parts it does also have some clever, witty writing with some good humor to it. I can't wait to see it again.
That sucks about your Wii. Couldn't have worse timing, eh? That happened to me with Final Fantasy XI back in the day. The new expansion came out and when I got it in the mail I go to install it only to find out that my computer had a virus and destroyed everything. Had to wait a couple of weeks to get it fixed before I could jump in and play.

Aside from all the video gamey parts it does also have some clever, witty writing with some good humor to it. I can't wait to see it again. I think it'll do better on Blu Ray/DVD, but it'll never break even. It seems like its going to be a Cult Classic. We'll see. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes out. I'll probably Redbox it and then if I like it a lot I'll buy it. Yep...the timing is perfect! But I'm glad my mom has a Wii, so I can play Other M on her system till we got ours fixed. Though, it'll mean starting over on the game when we do get our system fixed. *sigh* I really wish Nintendo would have at least made saves transferable between systems. What is so wrong with that?! (as an aside: I absolutely hate how you can not copy your Animal Crossing: City Folk save to an SD card, so if you did happen to lose your town...SORRY! Its gone forever. *sigh*). Although, don't get me started on those VC/Wiiware games.... All that said, though, I am glad that I'll be able to play the game at least. IF I got it and couldn't play it, gah, I'd probably never play it because knowing me I'd get impatient and trade the game in for something else. LOL. Anyway, I'm bored silly this weekend. Wish Other M was here right now... DF2506

My day has been good, because I got a new computer! It's not top of the line or anything, but I'm very, very pleased with it. It's got Windows 7, AMD Athlon II X2 240 Processor 2.8GHz, 4 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics card and came with a 20 inch monitor. Looove it. It's a dell though. I trust Dell more than I trust HP, however... Anyways, woot! Happy days.

congrats on the new computer steph. Dont worry, Dell at least comes with a nice warrenty. Its a common machine that is easy to repair and easy to upgrade. TONS of them in hospitals, MD offices, and schools. They must be doing something right.
I sent you a box of clothes and such, and included some photos I had from when you were a kid (so cute!) and your mothers wedding photos to your daddy. Your momma was gorgeous back in the day. Share them with Tim please.
