Day 75 - it's Wednesday? felt like Tuesday ;-)

Warning..high volume of photos today.

Waves to the lemon police ;-) that's why it feels like Tuesday....moving on

I'm not sure if it's the No More Trouble Zone's DVD or the fact that I didn't work out for 4 days, but I'm having trouble getting through to the end. When Alexander started crying 20 minutes into the work out, I was soooooooooooooooo glad! Work out called on the count of a crying baby yippee!



For only 20 minutes I am still sweating like a pig. This lady is killing me, but I am seeing results. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got out of the shower and was drying my hair.. my arms are getting defined!!! Look at my shoulder you can see it! You can see the muscles.



I got dressed when into my favorite t-shirt drawer and pulled out my Bon Jovi T-shirt that I never wore because I couldn't fit into! It's a little long, I wish I knew how to sew... that's on my bucket list, I really need to get on that and learn.



Anthony was already a brat on the bus, I should have known it was going to be a nightmare going out with him and the saboteur, but the coupon I had for Payless ended today and he really needed sneakers. So off we went.

I got myself a large iced coffee and off we went. As I snapped this photo, the man sitting on the bench, on the right side of my coffee picture, asked me why I took a picture of my coffee. I told him I blog every day. I wanted to say, because if I sent this picture to the roommate he would have NO idea what kind of coffee I have, but if I send it to the "boyfriend" he would know without a doubt!





As you can see Mr. Anthony was already his crazy self. He wanted to climb on the stop sign. As I took his picture I wish I had a sharpie with me so I could write above the word stop "Don't" and below it "Believing"



And here he is in Kohl's putting on a fashion show for me.



I tried on a few things. I did not get any of these dresses I didn't like how any of them looked and they were more money than the ones I have bought on zulily.com.



I was at Kohl's on a mission to find a handbag I saw on their site, but no luck, but I figured I'd just order it on line when I got home. So I started hunting for yellow stuff since that's the "IT" summer color this year and just happens to work well with my crazy lemon craze.

I like this shirt, size 1X, but dammit I am going to have to change this blog name to My Big Fat Stomach! I refuse to buy a 2x shirt because I am only going to lose more weight so at some point it will look better and until then I'll wear the spanks under it. Hey and the shorts size 16!!! go me ;-)



This is the other yellow shirt but this is a size 2X and it felt big everywhere.



I went out and got the 1X and it looks better don't you think? but ugh that stomach.. I need to work out harder.



Next onto yellow shoes...which sandal do like better? My purple toes have to go if I'm wearing these.



Anthony was so out of control by the time we were done, my face was red from holding him down. I even had to step on his harness when he got away from me in order to stop him from running out into the street.

When the roommate got home I put him in charge on Anthony, which is a joke. A lot more screaming and yelling took place until they both got to bed. And the headache that slowly started was still going strong after they both  went to sleep! Anthony needs to be in  a padded room sometimes.

I went on Facebook for a while and caught up with everyone's life. Cheryl posted a link about a girl who ran the spartan race. If you have time read her blog.

She really is inspiring, maybe I will be ready to race next June. I really liked the part of her story with her trainer putting the muddy hand print on her back and saying "I got your back". Which gave me an idea!!

I am going to get myself a few shirts and some fabric paint. I'm going to ask a few of my friends who have really been supportive of me to put their hand in the paint then on the back of my shirt.

So if you see me coming towards you with a dish, some paint, baby wipes to clean up and a shirt with a board in it, you'll know what's going on. Fair warning this is going to happen at the Christening!!!


I continued my "lemon shopping" on line.. and got the handbag I wanted ;-) Now the lemon police told me if I got anything with more than 3 lemons on it he would take a scissors and cut all but 3 lemons off... hope he doesn't do that to my new handbag.



I also found these!!!!!!!!!! prefect one lemon, can't get in trouble there. And I need new panties, mine are all to big.



I'm taking a big risk here.. I have a feeling there will be scissors involved..LMAO




That's it, that's my day. See you tomorrow.

Day 62 - Creativity Day

The Artist in me, aka Designer DID has been screaming that she wants to creative but I've been shutting her up with that Thin Girl aka New and Improved DID who's trying to get out who wants to work out every day. (my DID disorders are here)

Designer DID and New and Improved DID reached a compromise today. New and Improved DID agreed to let Designer DID work on a digi scrap kit, if they went for a walk at 5pm. GREAT!! A-scrapping we will go.

There are only 2.5 free Anthony hours in a day, but Alexander sucks up one of those, leaving only 1.5 "me" hours each day.

Of course NOTHING goes as planned, EVER!! Now I'm dealing with Nervous Break Down DID!! Simple easy "can you help me" tasks seem to escape everyone else in this family.  What should be a simple thing.. "Can you get me 50 Love Stamps?" became an ISSUE!!!!!!

What's the problem? You're going out, you'll be near the post office, you go in, ask for 50 Love Stamps use my dept card that I gave you, pay and leave... RIGHT????????? (you're shaking your head in agreement) NOT IN THIS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The saboteur comes back home and tells me..
are you ready for this...
that she had to go to TWO post offices...
I'm thinking they were out at the first one and she didn't call me to ask if she could get something else?... because....
ready?...
ready for her screwed up ridiculous answer as to why I don't have stamps to mail the Christening invitations????....
because the love stamps the lady showed her in the first post office were UGLY! They had ugly flowers on them and the word Love was too small.

So she went to the 2nd post office thinking she would find something different but they had the same stamps so she didn't buy ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like banging my head against the wall! She didn't call me, she didn't take a picture of the stamps and send it to me since she was unsure.. ..no she didn't want to "make a mistake" so she just didn't get me any stamps.

At 4pm my choices were
Option A dress Alexander who's been in a onesie all  day, and take him to the post office myself, which is what I was trying to avoid. The less places I go with him and the monitor the better.
OR
Option B just get the bell forever stamps at Costco when I pick up the invitations.

I am going with option B

Originally I wasn't going out today at all! I was going to get the invitations when I went to the doctor tomorrow. I just wanted the envelopes addressed  and stamped so I could stuff them and get them out in the mail tomorrow.

Meanwhile I spoke with Jenn, she isn't up to shopping on Saturday. She just finished exams and is sick and needs sleep!  So I thought, since I have to go to Costco, I will go over to Willowbrook tonight and see if I can find a dress for my cousin's wedding next Sunday......so I call The Roommate

I need him home to watch the boys. He tells me he'll be home EARLY that he's just going to the shop now. I got myself ready, made dinner, even put my heals in my purse so I can try things on with them....but I sit and sit and sit.....WHY DO I EVER BELIEVE HIM!

I finally was out the door shorty before 7pm, picked up the invitations and stamps. Then went over to the mall where I tried on several dresses.






and the winner is my first
"Little Black Dress"





I'm pretty surprised by the size. I know sizing has changed over the years, guess the fashion people didn't want us big fat ass people to know how big our fat asses really are! I know how much I weighed when I last wore an 18 and I'm not even there yet!! But I will be. That's my next goal weight I'm working towards for July.

Now I'm going to say up for a few more hours, write out the envelopes that I would have been working on while I was out tonight.

I think Mother's day I am going to sleep all day or maybe I should run away and be alone!
See you tomorrow after my weigh in - which is going to suck, my scale went UP this week.
