girl scout cookies.....

look what my bff dropped off the day before weigh in....not nice!! and that open one is from Sommer not me.....hee,hee....I was sure that this morning I would wake up and that scale would've jumped...but it's still stuck!! what the heck??!!! I worked out so hard yesterday........I so want to make an excuse to miss weigh in tonight...but I won't but it sucks!! and it's embarrassing.......but if I start making excuses for skipping...who knows how far that will go....but I wanted top post a pick of my new charm..I got when I lost 110 pounds....Oh no if I gain 3 pounds might have to take it off....yikes!
such a boring day....just had to take a pic of my cats snuggling...the only unusual thing about it..is they usually hate each other....the calico..is the queen beotch..of the house...I mean besides me of course.....so if she wants to sleep next to you...than that's what's going to happen....

Oh yeah...my favorite...weight loss lady "Ruby" from style network..is going to be on Oprah today!! I can't wait to see her...hopefully it's kinda recent...I wonder if she is keeping the weight off....I know when the season ended she had lost over 100 pounds....I am so routing for her..Oh well...peace

lss closing

was sad to hear that a scrapbook store in my area is closing "Sisters Scrapbooking" I just feel like we are losing alot of them..I don't think that there is anything close anymore.....but I did pick up a few goodies..I think everything is 35% off now... http://www.mysistersscrapbooking.com/mysistersscrapbooking.php yesterday I babysat alyssa all day....she was kinda grumpy..so I tried to share the job with the kids.....
here she has a messy face of sticky jello....

and not sure what she's doing here...looks like she is giving sommer a breast exam..ha,ha!! usually sommer is the best babysitting assistant..but she had her lockin at school..and so she stayed up all night..so eventually she just went to bed...

and here is when aunt stac...just wanted to go to bed....

but after she left...I decided to scrap a little...just a simple one of her lil' bow...

this time change is so weird....feels so early..but it's 10am..maybe 'cause it's so gloomy out today too...well I need to get off of here now..and go to the gym......the scale is pissing me off this week....I wish I could get over the numbers...but it's so hard...if it doesn't say a good number than I don't feel good.....something I need to work on....

first I want to say that you guys cracked me up....all day with your comments...I know you weren't laughing at me....you were laughing with me?? right?? ha,ha....I don't know why..I find it so amusing?? I think in the past I would've been horrified!!! but I feel fine today...haven't found any surprise bruises or anything....and I am off to the gym this morning...so hoping I don't have any treadmill fears...when I get there...but yesterday...I found one of those sticky things still stuck to me.....I'm sure they missed it...during all the drama...but I thought I would keep it..and use it on a page about my stress test...so it kinda became my pic!! A week from today...I will be packing up for my weekend crop....can't wait...looking more for the getaway...I think than the scrapbooking..well gotta run....(batta-boom-batta-bing)

adventures in stress testing with staci

well I just got back from my stress test today....Oh where do I start? I was super nervous, just because I've never had one..didn't really know what I was in for....but after meeting the nurse, who was awesome...and found out she knew my doctor..had worked with him..so that was cool......so this morning I made sure the girls(boobs) were securely tucked behind two sport bras......they're large...and can get out of control...if not tucked away..when you get on the treadmill....but to my surprise, when I got there they told me to remove everything (yep..bye,bye sport bras) from the waist up...and then they handed me a newborn baby hospital gown...it looked like a half top mini vest...cause it had to open in the front....Okay so it wasn't a newborn size..but it was small..but she got me a bigger one...thank goodness...so now I am realizing that they want me to do the treadmill bra-less....yikes!!! Okay what ever...so they get me hooked up to everything...and start me up...piece of cake...but because my heart is used to working out...she wasn't getting up enough....so the upped my incline....and the speed...okay..good...then again..okay now my very short legs...are in full stride...but the heart beat is still not high enough...ughhh!!! so she said something about getting ready to run!! What?? wait?? RUN?? I don't run!!! so I told her I've never run on the treadmill...she said we need to go there to get your heartbeat up....oh dear Lord!!!! so before I know it the incline...is basically facing the ceiling....and the speed goes crazy!!! I tried to fast walk it..and then without even telling my short legs...they started running...shoot they had no choice!!! so I actually ran for about 30 seconds...Oh yeah...wait..don't forget about the bra-less...yep...take a second and get a picture!! I know.....that's just wrong...but finally I said....I can't!! it seriously felt like if I could just lift my legs up and hold on....I would start flying like superman...I knew it wasn't going to end well....when after I told her that I can't....she said ...Okay just one second.....NOPE!! no second!! plop!! I was down......I'm sure it was a graceful fall...'cause it didn't hurt !!! besides my ego...but I am sure that the fall helped my heartbeat...go even faster!! so they basically scooped me, put me on the table...and tried to capture my higher heart beat!!! I just kept sitting there thinking... Who just fell off the treadmill?? Oh my gosh...I did!!! I've always had a fear of falling off....but always pictured it happening at the gym.....so then the nurse tells me that I am only the 2nd person to fall off the treadmill in the 19 years she's being doing this....did she think this was going to make me feel better?? nope...made me feel worse...was hoping that this kinda thing happens all the time....and the other person was somebody that had a heart problem...she said i was the first just to go down?? geez...thanks!! but I was fine..she felt bad...offered to take me to their emergency room....no..thanks..I've got a little skid mark on my hand...and sore leg...but I don't know if that's from the fall...or the fact that they made me RUN!! the good new is she said I did the same as a 25 year old....so the gym is paying off...and my blood pressure was awesome....it was also very cool to see my heart on the ultrasound machine thing....it's weird to see it beating.....such a small thing keeping us going....so hoping I don't have to do the stress test...for awhile..but because I already work out...they said it would take more to get my heartbeat up...'cause I guess your body get used to the exercise...just thought i would share my lil' adventure of the day....I scrapped a page last night...just went through my lil' embellishment box...as you can tell just using a little bit of this and that...and nothing like kraft paper...kraft paper is magical!! Oh well nothing much going on..gotta babysit some tacketts tonight...but I think only one...and pick up my girl scout cookies...and then figure out what to do with those cookies besides eat them!!

I do remember how

was getting worried...that I didn't have much of an urge to scrap lately...but last night...just walked by my table...with those new papers staring up at me...and I did two pages...this first one is of one of my first meals I had after being on optifast....shrimp stir fry...and my wok my daughter bought for me for christmas....used this woodgrain-ish paper from pink paislee and how cute are those mini foam thickers..?? and this one of Tonee' who hasn't got any calls yet!! job wise..and fear and doubt about the future is starting to set in....huh...?? wonder where she gets that from..?? ME>>but on this one I used the scrappin' within reach paper, Teressa collins transperancy, the flower is from the new sassafrassLas cardstock sticker sheet...and the chipboard button in the middle is from cutesy glam designs etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5690419 I see she's got some new colors over there too....
been a pretty quiet few days....hit the gym, picked out my new charm for my pandora bracelet..it's a butterfly!! It's kinda cool at the jewelry store (Milkins) the lady remembered me when I bought the bracelet....and asked me if I got a present lately?? the heart charm...so it's kinda cool...to have a personal experience...I honestly can't believe I have another charm...didn't really expect it this early....but I'm not complaining...and another 8....I get another!! Tomorrow...I go take my stress test...I am very curious to see how I do....can't believe I'm kinda looking forward to it!!!
