Robin says

That I am not posting
enuf new photos from
my new camera.
It is not that I am not
taking photos.
It is just that I am posting
most of them on FB
and so it seems silly to put
them up here too??
So here are some VERY random photos I took -
just to show you what is going on in my day
at work. LOL And a few other misc. items I shot
while playing around. :O)

BUGS

I don't like bugs.
Especially the ones that
get in our tummies.
I have one. I think?
I was not feeling 'great'
last night but then throughout
the overnight period I was
in the bathroom hourly it seemed.
This morning I woke up cramping
and feeling terrible. Ick.
I tried to get up and going
to work but ended up home and
back in bed.
Now I am sipping warm water
and nibbling saltines. Yum.
I just hope whatever this is
goes quick. I don't have time
for bugs.
Bring on the pepto and immodium please.

working out is not working out so much

I am SO flustered today.
I put away the scale for a week.
EVERYONE said it would help.
EVERYONE is not me.
It did not help.
I spent the week avoiding every
good - tasty - yummy food out there.
I went to the gym frequently.
I slipped on the *&^%$ ICE at the gym
and messed up my back.
Had to go to the Dr for muscle relaxers.
Had to PAY to go to the Dr.
I did what I was told to do.
This morning I pulled out the scales.
I weighed in with my skinny chicken
sisters - who love me a lot.
I was down LESS THAN ONE LB???????
Get real.
Time to step it up and I will be keeping
the scale out so I CAN weigh in EVERY day
like I have for the past 2.5 years and know
where I am and how much I need to work.

UGH!

High point - it is FINALLY FRIDAY!

Onward march Darla....

GREAT QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"A strong woman has faith
that she is strong for the
journey... but a woman
of strength has faith that
it is in the journey that
she will become strong.

SISTER POWER!

I HAVE THE MOST AMAZING AWESOME SISTERS EVER!!!!!!!!!


My two older sisters, Carlee and Lisa. They are amazing!
They are so good to me, they love me, guide me, tease
and torment me and keep me in line. They love me when the
rest of the world walks out. Since we have lost our parents
I think the three of us are more close than most children
are - and it is such a blessing.

Right now, these two awesome sisters are pushing me to the
brink on my health and fitness and I am so thankful for them.
I am thankful for the support and gentle love and the kick
in the butt too. :O) They are both training for the 2010
Sawtooth Relay coming up this summer - I won't be able to
join them because we'll be on our family trip to California
to Disneyland! I am so bummed, but so proud of them for all
the hard work and determination!!!

My sisters are AWESOME!

Yeahhh Darla

I am getting this down finally - changing my backgrounds!
Big deal, I know.
However, I was tired of the snowflakes and winterish looking
page and this one is much brighter and happier!

today's to do list

So this was my list this morning...it is now after 6 p.m. and
here I am. Not too terrible I suppose?

Playing with my new camera

OK some are not so good, some are great,
some are downright terrible but
I have been documenting our Christmas
break - so there it is.
Lots of the kids goofing around and
some of the oodles of snow we just got
over the past few days - oh, and Ed's
FAB new tires on the Ford! The CUTE
hat Robin made me a couple of years
ago... I STILL LOVE IT ...My goodies
I got on markdown for next year and

DISLIKE hypocrites very much

de·ceit·ful (d-stfl)
adj.
1. Given to cheating or deceiving.
2. Deliberately misleading; deceptive. See Synonyms at dishonest.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

de·ceitful·ly adv.
de·ceitful·ness n.


In other words, I hate it when someone says they hate liars
and being lied to and then pull that same crap themselves.
Cheat. Liar. Deceptive. DISHONESTY... all the same.

Getting over a painful experience is much
like crossing monkey bars. You have to let
go at some point in order to move forward.
