TAG - You're it!

Candis tagged me on her blog, so now it is my turn...

The idea is: you go to your 6th folder of pictures and choose the 6th picture in that folder and post it. After that, choose 5 people to tag, or to play along with this. This picture happens to be Chad and I's departure to Hawaii, where we were married! Oh how I wish that is what I was doing right now!

So I tag:
1. Susie
2. Rae Lynn
3. Camille
4. Colleen
5. Discello

Can't wait to see your pics!

REJECTED

Well, not exactly rejected, but...
I was shopping at Costco today (with Chad's Costco Card) and had already made one purchase in the optical dept, but you can only pay for your glasses or contacts there, so I was off to purchase toilet paper and formula for Lola at the other registers. I got in line and then the lady at the next register said that she was open, so I switched lanes - MISTAKE! She asked me if I had a Costco Card (this is after she has rung me up and given me my total) and I told her no that I just shop with Chad's card (the account is under his dad, so Chad has the other card). She told me that I was not going to able to make my purchase, but that she would check with the supervisor. I told her that that wouldn't be necessary, but the next thing I knew she was yelling SUP on 3! Oh God, I was so embarrassed. The Supervisor comes over and says that he has to take the card and that Chad has to come see him to get it back. Again, I asked if I could just give it back to him and explain, and he said no, he has to tell him the "rules" of the card all tough guy like. I said that I could tell him, but I was his wife so it wasn't like he was giving his card out to some random person. I also wanted to say that I do this ALL the time, and that I just did it like five minutes ago in the optical dept, but I didn't want to get Chad or the lady in that dept in trouble, so I just bit my tongue at that point and walked out. Oh boy, I knew Chad was going to be fuming, especially since the guy gave me a hard time, and I was right, he headed there as soon as I got home. Anxious to hear about his reprimand! Gotta love Costco!

Not a Twilight fan...

...of the movie that is. Chad and I got to go on a little date Friday night, thank you so much to Donna for calling earlier in the week to offer to babysit, and I have been dying to see Twilight! I had a horrible start to the week for one, and then it ended amazing, as I was the "biggest loser" once again at school! Two weeks in a row! So I really didn't need to twist Chad's arm at all, he knew that he was going to have to go eventually. (He is reading the Twilight series too, so it didn't hurt him to watch it with me! His is currently on New Moon and really likes it! I think that he thinks that by him reading my vampire series, I will read his Anne Rice vampire series, but he is mistaken!) We had dinner and Native New Yorker (they have the best wings!!!) and then saw the show.
Needless to say I was so disappointed. I thought for sure that it was going to be better than it was. Now I know that the books are always better, but I really thought the movie was a HUGE disaster. This was surprising even to myself, because I love teenage drama cheesy shows! The scenery was beautiful and I thought that Bella wasn't as bad as everyone made her out to be?! Edward was a nightmare up until the end of the movie and he talked as if he was, well, slow. That is the nicest way for me to put it.
Will I be going to see New Moon in the theatre, probably so, as the books are so amazing that I will just have to see what they come up with for the movie, but I am glad that I will have some time before then to recover from Twilight the movie.

On another note, I can't wait for the Super Bowl tomorrow!!! We are going to spend morning, noon, and night at Chad's dads. He has held the Super Bowl party ever since I have been with Chad and many a moons before I ever met him! Can't wait to be with family and close friends to watch our Cards!

If the ring fits - WEAR IT!

After two and a half weeks I have already met my first "biggest loser" goal - my wedding ring is back on! WooHoo! That was my weight loss goal after the first 8 weeks of the teachers at my school having this contest and I am so proud of myself for already reaching it! I am embarrassed to say that it took me almost a year to get back on track with losing weight after having Lola - but I am down 9lbs on the school scale (11lbs when I weigh in at home first thing in the morning) in just 2 and 1/2 weeks and so excited to be feeling better about myself! I am just eating way better and exercising like crazy!

Another ear infection

Got my mommy intuition today and decided to call the doctor after a high fever this weekend and lots of late nights spent crying or just wanting to be held in mama's arms - and it is a good thing that I did...Miss Lola has yet another ear infection :( This time it is in just one ear, but with it comes the referral to the specialist to see about tubes, as she has had at least one infection every month since October. She is miserable when she is wanting to wind down and sleep because she just can't get comfortable, but seems ok when she is up for the day and always wanting to play! So at least that is good!
She is out like a light (finally) and I am running on fumes, so it is nighty night for me - crossing fingers that tonight will be a good sleeping night! Thanks to everyone for being concerned and calling to see how she was feeling! She doesn't know it yet - but one day she will realize all the special people that our family has in our lives!

Teething BITES!!!

Ugh...yet another night of NO sleep! Friday was a rough night, then, after 2 long naps on Saturday morning and afternoon - Lola woke up with a really high fever :( No fun for baby or mommy. Once we got the fever under control Saturday night was an ok sleeping night, she just didn't fall asleep until late - almost 11:30, not like her at all! As for last night, no sleep once again! I have been up with Lola since about 3:30 this morning with no chance of getting back to sleep now that it is time to wake up to get ready for school. She is getting in her top right tooth and tugging her ears more than ever - a sign of teething or another ear infection. So hard to tell. All that I know is...it is going to be a long day!

Sand Angels

Another family bike ride = another trip to the park! This time I didn't have my camera (one of my friends was borrowing it to take engagement pictures of his sister) and I really felt a tiny piece of me was missing - I bring that thing EVERYWHERE! But, I did have my camera phone with me when Kyan asked if he could make sand angels! Poor kid will probably never make snow angels, but I thought that it was so cute that he didn't say snow, he immediately said sand! He agreed to take a bath when he got home if there was too much sand everywhere as a result of his idea. Here are a few pictures of him taken with my phone.
