Well......
That lasted long!! LOL.
I think it took a de-lurked commenter to make me realize that just because it seems boring to me, someone else just may be interested on how things are. Thx Georgia:)
So, here's where we stand right now.
In terms of the move thing, we have ruled out NewFoundLand for now, unless a job opportunity comes up fo Erik. Right now, He's actually looking to see if there is a position available at a car dealership in Saint John, so we could move home to Saint John. We will see what happens:)
The kids are kids. Tiana talking way too loud, and way too much, driving me absolutely crazy. Everything somehow seems to be centered around Santa right now....can't seem to figure out why....LOL....
Kallie is whipping around this house like she owns the place!! She's crawling, and has been since she was 7 months old, and she's walking around holding onto things, like walls, furniture, etc. She says momma, dada, and baba...and her laugh..omg, its the cutest laugh ever....hehe.
Erik's work christmas party for work is on the 8th of December, at a restaurant called The Back Nine, here in Downtown Fredericton. Should be nice:)
So, It seems lately that I'm back to my toe woes. As you may or may not know, I have inherited an ingrown nail condition (if this is too much info for you, then turn back now...) that has been really bad for me for about 4 years now. I can't wear any type of nice shoe, cause they all put too much pressure on my badly infected and swollen big toes. So, for the last few years, I have been foreced to survive canadian winters wearing flip flops, or those crocs shoes.
In February of 2006, I had one of my nails removed after I conveniently whacked my poor gross toe on the corner of a wall at my mother in laws house. It seems that 3 years of prior infection treatment, every prescription available to treat that particular infection, was nothing but a waste of my money, because I had built up an immunity to them. SO, I whacked my toe, the Doc damn near jumped when he seen how bad the infection was, and he removed it thankfully. I was just as happy as the days my children was born to have my toe not hurt for a while.
Now, both of my big toes are infected again, and I have been put through numerous hoops to try to get something done to relieve the pain that they cause me. Its worse now than ever before though, because I'm working, standing on my feet for hours at a time, and the pressure causes my toes to bleed, and by the time I got home from work, my socks were soaked in blood.
Finally I get a referral to a surgeon from my new family Doc, and I haven'theard from his office, and its been 2 months...so I call to see whats up, and where things are...and she said I wouldn't be able to get in for a year and a half!!! His waiting list was another year and a half in front of me. I can't and wont live with my feet like this much longer, so I told them to forget it.
I called our local podiatrist. and I go to see her tomorrow morning at 10! It may cost me 55$ per visit, but I don't care, it should only take 2 or 3 visits at the most to have my consult, and the procedures to remove the nails. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
The last thing I think I'll blog about today...is the fact that I have an addiction.
My addiction is to.......a Online game. I'm addicted to playing World Of Warcraft.
What has my husband done to me?? Online computer games are his thing.....but now we have something we can do together that we both enjoy doing! I know, I'm a geek...as my friends say...LOL....
Anyhoo, hope you are all having a wonderful day today!

I'm going to be MIA for a bit....
And I don't know when I'll be back.
Seems that the last few weeks I haven't really found much to talk about, other than the same old everyday stuff, and I find that to be a pretty boring blog post day after day.
Things here are going good. Kallie's getting smarter everyday, and Tiana, is well, Tiana. Erik's plenty busy at his new job, and I have finally just got back to work after being out of work for a month from issues with my ingrown toe's.
I go to see a podiatrist on Friday to hopefully have my issues resolved with my toes, but it may take a trip or two. Hopefully, the end with the toe issues is near, I'm tired of wearing ugly, flat shoes all the time.
Anyhoo, when My life perks up a bit, and were a bit more interesting, I'll be back. I'm still keeping tabs on all of you that I read though, I like to keep up on everyone:)

Big changes ahead...
Ooooh boy..where to start.
At this moment, I am excited and nervous beyond belief. There are a few reasons.
The first being the entire weight loss situation. I have been trying to get my butt back in gear, but for me, if I don't have someone to do it with, or have someone that I need to check in with periodically, I can't stay on track. I always cave, and it makes me feel terrible.
BUT. I just got a call from LA Weight Loss (whom I had had a consultation with a few months ago and could not afford the almost 1000$ program), offering me a full year of as much weight off as I wanted for....drumroll.....$189. I was completely in shock. She had told me on the phone that this is a sale they have starting on monday, and our local chapter is calling all of the people who had had consults but couldn't afford to join at that time before they start advertising.
My appointment to start is Monday at 6pm. I'm freaking out.
Hey Tinacious......watch out...I'm coming for that prize:P
The other thing that has had me a little excited but nervous has been the fact that were contemplating a HUGE move. As in a few provinces over, huge. Were actually considering relocating to St Johns, Newfoundland. NOw, I know, its a huge step to take, considering we don't have a clue about anything work wise for Erik down there, or how we would move our stuff, to apartments, etc., but we really feel that we are in need of a huge change, to a place where there isn't alot of outside interference from family. I really need support of friends more thane ver right now, and I know more people in StJohns, NFLD, than I do here in Fredericton, NB.
Nothing is said in stone, but its something we are thinking about.
anyway, just wanted to check in, and I had to get things off my chest. Hopefully, I can calm my nerves today a bit.......I'm so excited!!!

She may be a trainwreck....
but DAMN! she makes a good cd...LOL.
Yes, I'm talking about Britney. I hate the woman, I think she is a disgusting excuse of a woman, and she makes mothers all over the world look bad from the bullsiht she has been pulling. Like they say, it only takes one bad apple for the hole bunch to be screwed. I think that her babies are better off with their father, than with a woman who struts around the house naked and expects everyone who works for her to act like nothings wrong.
But on the other hand, she does know how to make people talk about her, and she does know what she's doing when it comes to music, most of the time.
My first love is music, anything you can dance to. I was raised as a dancer, doing hip hop, and R&B kinda dancing. I absolutely adore Timbaland, he is amazing. He really knows how to make stuff that you can get your dance on to.
But this album is a complete shock to me. I really did not expect to like this, and I kinda expected it to be crap, to politely put it. I was shocked when I bought it, and put it on, you can get a really good groove on to the entire thing!!! Keep in mind the majority of the lyrics are about her being famous, and always being judged, but hey, she is in it for attention.
I also purchased Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad, and Timbaland - Shock Value. Both, which so far, aren't disappointing in anyway. I LOVE the song The Way I are. I LOVE Umbrella, and Shut up and Drive.
Things are starting to look up. This diet thing has been crap, I haven't been able to stick with it, mostly due to lack of motivation. But, I'm back on track now, and rearing to go. I'm actually in the process of finding my pilates DVD's, and I'll be rockin it out hardcore by Monday. Baby's gunna be fine come spring time!!

annnnnndddddd.....
I'm back. Kinda.
How's things been?
Here things have been ok. Still outta work...damn toe.
Right now I'm nursing a retardedly wicked headache. I have a ton of stuff to do around here, but I don't want to move to do anything. My kids are in one of those kinda moods too, which is making things harder.
Been struggling with the weight loss thing as of late, I just can't seem to get recentered and focused on the target ahead of me. I'm working on that was well.
anyhoo, once the fog lifts from my brain, I'll post again. For now, this will hafta do.
