Right now I have all but one of Caleb's walls spackled and primed. Have to wait for Darren to get home so he can help me move the bed and dresser then I'll take care of that wall while I send him and Caleb out to choose paint and pick me up a brush or two. I forgot to take before photos so I'll do those once the primers done. I'm thinking I can get most of it done today/tonight. I'm afraid to stop now my wrists are killing me and I keep thinking if I stop, I may not start back up, lol!

Right now my husband ate my meatballs. And my cat, the feline garbage can/treat-hound ate my Triscuit!! Let me say this again. My CAT ate my TRISCUIT!! And even I don't like Triscuits. Right now I'm going to bake a pizza and neither of them are going to get any.

rn wargod. i just have to say...i would love for you to post photos (well, when you done painting) of before and after photos of your daily cleaning. i can't imagine your home being that dirty. lol also, i'm in need of your services too. okay, so after the painting is done and you get back to your normal cleaning routine: i would love to see your "dirty home"....then, the "clean home" after your wargodded it. i'm hoping i can even see the difference. lol

rn, i'm thinking about how much i must love this thread because i do most my posting here. also, i'm feeling guilty because i know i go on and on and on...about nothing. even sadder, the post doesn't usually belong here. so for that...i apologize and will try to "change". okay, now i'm going to concentrate on no more rambling posts about nothing...also, posting in the appropriate thread. a new abby will appear soon! but for now....the post above reminds me of the show i saw on "oprah" today. the part i saw, about a french author...wrote a book ..French Women Don't Get Fat. i completely agree with her opinions on why majority of americans are fat. one thing she mentioned: make each "eating experience a special time"...not her words..but my interpretation. "3 bites". eat whatever you want..but 3 bites. eat "good food" in small quantities. no gyms. when you can, just walk, climb stairs. there was more...pretty much common sense stuff. but so true. i even remember martha stewart once saying...i'd rather have one bite of "real chocolate" than the diet stuff.

eta: another thing about eating. something i've always known, but the author mentioned it today. it's the "20 minute thing". you don't really "know" you are full until 20 minutes. so, eat half the portion (if you are out to eat)..take the rest home. you will feel full after 20 minutes and don't have to eat the whole portion. -------------- however, i do remember going from a size 8 to size 4 in a very short time. just by eating half of everything i was served. (i did it in increments though, meaning: first left 3 bites, then maybe six bites..until i was at half). i ate whatever i wanted. well, that was when i was 40 years old. at 53...that doesn't work for me now.

Rn, Abby I know what you mean about about how cutting portions at 40 does not work on a 50's age body. I've found that after hitting around 50+ I can no longer eat large portions...but no weight comes off either! Tonight, dh wanted cheese burgers and fries (all homemade). Sounded good to me because I ate grapes for lunch and tummy was growling. Scarfed dinner down too fast and now feel bloated. Ate Tums (helped a bit) but that was 4 hrs ago and I still feel yucky! One day I'll learn (maybe tomorrow) eat small portions thru out the day and treat this ageing body a bit more gently. DH said he feels fine so it wasn't my cooking! LOL

yep, i know how that works oldtex. next time, mabye just eat 1/2 what you did. wait 20 minutes. if still hungry...well, guess you gotta' do, what you gotta' do. also, i'm no example. i'm at my highest weight ever...but really working on it. my problem is exercise, not eating. i've been going for walks..but need to step it up. walks don't do it for me at my age.

Abby, I'm also at my highest weight ever, and am out of proportion. Can't find clothes to fit correctly. Used to be a perfect size 6...5 yrs ago! I know I really pigged out tonight, but if you wait 20 mins. the food will get cold! But is Mame can eat cold soup, guess I can eat cold burger. I did water aerobics a few yrs ago. Not the old granny aerobics, they were more agressive and I really took off weight. Became allergic to chemicals in pool,had to quit and weights back on, plus a few extra. But with the weather getting nicier, I'm also walking...baby steps...but better than being a couch potato!

LOL Rn no way Abby, no before pics! I'm the type of person who if I think the house is too messy I won't invite unexpected company in! Usually most of my housework just takes a little portion of the day. I do vacuum daily, and usually sweep and mop the kitchen, along with wiping down counters and cabinets. I dust a couple times a week (with Darren and Dakota and their allergies it's a must.) I wipe down the bathroom a couple days a week too. Usually most of it is just picking up after the kids when they go rushing out to school or off to bed. Their idea of clean and mine are two different things, lol. For example, Caleb will pick up whatever he's been playing with when he's getting ready to leave for school or go to bed...but he sits it on the speaker. Dakota throws everything she's been playing with on the couch. Right now for the second time this week my den looks like a tornado has gone through it. We moved all of Caleb's toys and most of his furniture in here so until his rooms done I'm pretending I don't see it!

lol, wargod. well i understand that. if i have to call maintenance in to fix something...i have to wait 'til the place is extra clean. where i live, they even replace light bulbs. i will live in the dark before calling them if my place isn't spotless! lol eta: i have purchased my own light bulbs...and i do know how to change a light bulb. however, they have these "special" bulbs that i don't keep on hand. how many abbys does it take to change a light bulb? lol

I've gotten my mail done and ready to send out while watching the squid and the whale. Made a couple of phone calls. Spitfire I too am crampy waiting for that magical day to arrive.

RN, are you sure you can't hightail it up here, wargod? the appraiser is coming tomorrow for the people to get their loan. ah hell, i know we have to appraise for at least the asking price because they got me an auto appraisal for our line of equity last september that was about what we are getting for our home. i was shocked that a former head of a city department here is asking 600k for his house. he has a pool and a workshop, but where does that add 150,000 bucks to a basic tract home? i do have to mop muddy pupster pawprints and vacuum and all that crap. sigh. i will be so happy once the move is done, but it will be hectic once things start falling into place. still don't have an exact closing date to plan where dd and i will live. i guess we'll have to take the motorhome between wal-mart and k-mart for a couple of weeks! and moving out and cleaning and having dd graduate from high school all in the same week or two just makes me want to throw my hands up in the air. and hope they come back with a strong drink in each...

RN, today I paid off one credit card (it had a $9.34 balance teehee),and have one card to still pay off. YEH FOR ME. This next one will take a little longer, but I've got a plan and goal that will work. Got a call from CPA and income taxes are ready, and am getting $ back. This rarely occurs as dh salary varies seasonally. I needed some good news and just had to share.

RN sorry Tabby, don't think I'm going to be doing much for a few days. My wrists are a mess and need to rest (like typing really helps, lol.) RN Oldtex, doesn't it feel great to pay off a cc?? Congratulations!
