Yep, sinus infection. Fever and all. Yay. I am on my meds and getting better. Good thing I am not contagious as I am at work today, and getting quite a bit done.
So funny thing, Bug came up to me last night as I was enjoying a sugar free ice cream bar and said
"ahh shit"
"What honey?"
"ahh shit"
She couldn't be saying that, not that she doesn't hear worse from me or her dad, but come on. I realize she has the look she gets when she wants a bite.
"Do you want some ice cream?"
"yes"
"can you say ice-cream?"
"ahh shit"
There you have it. Ahh shit means ice cream in my household. Who knew?

My Mommy Weekend
No big hair or shiny shoes for me. I did not make it to Dallas as planned. The goal was to leave after the b-day party on Saturday, thinking it was from 1-3. However, I was wrong. It was from 5-7. While Sweetie told me to go and was very supportive of taking a very two year old to a party by himself, I knew I would have full blown mom guilt.
While I missed not seeing the bitches and cannot wait to see them hopefully sometime soon, I am so glad that I did not go. Not only was the party a success, she was the only one from the school that came (the others were family and friends of the parents), but we also ended up having an impromptu playdate with Bug's boyfriend. It was very nice and relaxed. However, Bug was being very two all weekend. And if you are not a parent and don't know this joy, being very two means full blown fit and then suddenly sweet and nice. It is the strangest thing.
The whole weekend was about being a mommy/a family. It was awesome. And other than me fighting a sinus infection with all my might, I had a great weekend. Pictures will come shortly. All I can say is that it is neat to have the popular kid. Everyone wants to hang out with her. We will see if we passed and if she gets invited to anything else. And with our busy weekend we also had some nice downtime with watching movies and napping.
And to top off the weekend, when I weighed in this morning I was down 3 more pounds. YAY!! 11 weeks until LiveStrong Challenge and 12 weeks until IBM 10k. Sweetie and I are doing good with our training and plan to start adding some strength training and such to our routines. More on that later.
This weekend left Sweetie and me pumped about some of our goals right now - house wise, family wise, health wise, etc. It is just nice to feel like things are coming together and to feel in control.
Don't worry I am not going to allow myself to get full blown sick. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.

So?
First, need to post that I saw the Dr and my White Blood Count is normal. YAY! He still has no idea what caused it. Due to the fast drop I have to go back in three months to make sure that it has stopped dropping. But I am declared healthy. He is simply perplexed. This does not surprise me as I am not normal.
BestFriend told me something very wise, she read it in a magazine. That when you are doubting yourself you should reply with "So?". I love it. I was complaining about my bad knee and how it is hurting and how when it hurts I worry that I won't ever be able to run and I want to run. If my knee prevents me from ever running, so? If I can only walk, so? I love to walk. That is when I realized how far I have come. Yes, my weight will get me down. Yes, my disease can get me down but my outlook is so much healthier. I think that is why I am told repeatedly that I look so healthy now. I might weigh more than I did when I was diagnosed with my Graves' but I wasn't healthy then. My thinking about my weight loss is to get out of the obese range - to improve my health. But I was getting dressed this morning and thinking about how I am a medium in clothing size - though some manufactures are confused about mediums and some are a bit tight. But I thought, what is wrong with medium? And I realized that after I hit my goal of BMI under 30, I am going to continue my healthy lifestyle without obsessing about losing weight. If I lose more then it will be because my body wants to let it go. If I don't, I will still be improving my health. My focus is training for the 10k, being able to go faster, becoming stronger, and improving my life.
I am in a good place right now. That makes me happy. I am starting to feel more in control of my life. This whole thing is a process. I think I am doing good and then I start to do even better and I see that the previous good was only moderate. Does that make sense?
Tomorrow is a b-day party for one of Bug's friends. This is her first b-day party to attend that isn't family. We cannot wait. After that I am going to head to Dallas to visit some bitches. Yay!
I looked at the forecast and get this, surprise I know, there is rain predicted for Friday. This is not good as Sweetie and I have tickets to see the Round Rock Express to celebrate his b-day. Repeat after me, no rain outs, no rain outs.
I am a procrastinator at heart. This is my biggest fault. Not my only fault mind you, but that is for a whole 'nother post. So when my boss, his boss, and her boss, ARE GONE - how the hell am I supposed to stay here? I am lucky enough to be salaried - and eat at my desk most days to make sure work is complete. But I am so bad about saying "the work can wait until Monday". I mean, come on, can't it? Blah. So I am desperately trying to be good and stay here. I know you are pointing out that I am blogging at work right now. Yes, I am not working, but at least I am here. And the announcement that I am actual management now has not been made, so no one would notice :-) Oh did I also mention that I have the ability to justify ANYTHING, heehee.
With that I think I am going to pick up a bug and take her b-day shopping for her daddy. Yay shopping.

that is Manager Missy to you
I am still here. And have the nice opportunity to blog as my boss left early today. Things are going well in my world. Though I am looking forward to a weekend that we don't have any plans and can just veg. That might be the weekend of Aug 11 as this weekend Bug has a b-day party to go to with one of her buddies from school and the next weekend is Sweetie's b-day.
Speaking of Sweetie. He has a new blog. He has his normal blog, where he is bad about posting, and now has added a fun blog. He created a site called I am jealous. Check it out!
I am back on the weight loss bandwagon. I rejoined weight watchers online Sunday night. So far I have been good. Not obsessing, just counting what I eat and focusing on more SouthBeach/Core Foods. We shall see. My walking is still going well. Still worried that the 10k might be too far too soon. Though I went further on the same time frame of training and I weighed close to 30 pounds more when I did TNT. Blah. I just want to feel great. My goal is to lose weight/feel better for our 10 year anniversary. I have no idea what Sweetie has planned, maybe nothing - but I want to feel good about the pictures taken regardless - as I always make sure to have pictures taken.
Work is going well. We finished the big tax return that I was working on. YAY. It wasn't hard, just a lot of calculations and I had to bring my department into the 20th century. They had tons of 10-key tape taped to sheets to show their calculations with hand written tiny notes. That does not work for me. I use excel. You can enter the formulas, have better descriptions, and save it for next time. The best part is that if one number is off, you don't have to rerun the whole tape. Luckily, my boss thinks this is a good thing. And while it is not official, it should be at some point this week. My big news is that my Manager title will actually be used. Four people will begin reporting directly to me. This is big. The most I have managed before is 2. Yay for using my degrees. They better watch out, don't you know that I am a hard ass boss.
I go back to the Hematologist tomorrow. They want a final look to make sure that everything is normal. I am sure that it is. I am feeling pretty good. Not quite as tired as I have been. Then I go back to my Endo in Sept. I think that is when we will discuss the RAI. I still HATE the idea of it. I don't like making decisions where there is no going back. I do not do well with that thinking. But I believe that Sweetie and I are done with these meds and I need to be six months or so past RAI before trying for #2. And since we are ready for #2, it means we need the RAI. I just hate being on meds forever. And I know, I know - it could be so much worse.
OK I think I am going to sneak out early and go and get my little girl. Everyone have a great night!

Moving On
Thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts about my dear Abby. We are doing as good as we can.
First I have to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEB!!! Today she is 40. I was lucky enough to meet her on Wednesday night. She is awesome. I am so happy that I am doing the LiveStrong Challenge in her honor.
I am the only one awake right now and one of my kitties is snoring as loud as a human, too cute. But it makes me wonder if I have kicked Sweetie for snoring when it wasn't him.
Friday was our day off. It was a great day. We watched Ratatouille and Knocked up. We even saw a CHEESY demo video from Bose. I mean very very bad. It had us laughing for hours. It was a great day of just spending time together.
And we received our copy of Harry Potter. During the day on Friday we got our ticket to determine which group of the reserved books we would be in. Group F, not too bad. I went with BestFriend two books ago so I knew what to expect. Neat things for the kids during the evening but when the books start selling at midnight that is the whole focus. Sweetie took his motorcycle and was lucky enough to get the book by 12:40. Now here is the BEST part. We went to Target yesterday. As I was quickly shopping for needed items, Sweetie and Bug were asleep in the car, I saw a whole display of the book at a slightly cheaper rate. Cracked me up. Of course there wasn't a crowd around the display as B&N got to the true fans.
Yesterday was MIL's b-day. We enjoyed a laid back celebration of dinner, gelato, and games. Bug and I crashed before all was said and done. But I think fun was had by all. I have a great MIL, I love that we can have fun and be ourselves around her.
My Bug is so awesome. She is bigger everyday. While I could do without the 2 year old tantrums, I love the hugs and kisses and being able to communicate with her. Speaking of which, I think I will go and have some fun with her.
Everyone have a great remainder of the weekend.

Rest in Peace
July 1997 - July 2007
I found her. Not fair. Not fair at all. I was coming into the room to blog about good things when I saw her. Sweetie is now out running - he isn't doing well with this. She was his baby. I know people lose pets everyday. I know she was 10. I don't care. She was my kitten. Her sister, Allie, is hiding under the bed mourning. It makes me want to cry more. This is our first loss since being on our own. It cuts deep.Earlier today Sweetie and I scheduled to take Friday off to spend a couple day together. After tonight it will be greatly needed. Send good thoughts that my other babies stay healthy.

Give Blood
I gave blood today. The Blood Mobile came to my work. I also won the door prize of a gift card. If you are able, be like me and give blood. It is so easy and saves lives. And you can schedule online now at The Blood Center of Central Texas. 
This is why I have not been commenting or posting or chatting or emailing as much as I would like. Hopefully, my desk will be clean by end of week.
And a picture to make you smile. This is Sweetie on Bug's bug scooter. 
More in depth posts to come. Everyone cross your fingers that I don't have to work late Wednesday night and can go to dinner as planned.

Wedding Pics
Me and my Bug:
Sweetie, of course, made buttons:
The happy couple - Congratulations!
My new favorite photo of MIL:
Sweetie and Bug:
Bug licking her cake:
She even got Mom on the dance floor:
The power of the Bug - able to get grown adults to follow her in circles:
And this is my "laughing so hard my stomach hurts with tears streaming down face" face. If you have seen this face, you are someone I feel comfortable around:

Quick Hi!
Just a quick note to say that the wedding was a huge success. Although it had to be inside due to rain, it was still beautiful. Bug was a HUGE hit. She ran in circles for over 30 minutes - we have a marathoner in our future. So.very.cute. She also dance danced and danced. I am feeling it. Bug just bounces when she dances, for the most part that is - and she insisted that I dance with her. How can you say no? I woke sore in several places, nothing bad, but my bad knee is killing me.
Currently, I am at Mom's. We are going to trim her trees - yay. When I get home I will post pictures. In the meantime, I just wanted everyone to know that it was a great day for SIL#2, and we have a new addition to our family.

I had a terrible headache tonight. I tried all my tricks and it wasn't going away. I was supposed to walk but did not feel up to it. That is when Bug demanded that I take a nap with her. Well, nap for me - she went down for the night. I woke an hour later without a headache. She did the trick. She is the best ever :-)
As promised, pictures.
The butterflies at Neiman Marcus.

Rockin' Girl Blogger
At work, counting the minutes to leave. I worked late last night. Nothing bad and did get a lot done. But now I sit. I can't do any of my billing as the system is down and I can't do my audit report as I am waiting on a report. I hate it when I am stuck like this. The good news it that it is almost 5.
Carrie nominated me for this: 
Why? She says "acause she has a lot on her plate in this roller-coaster called life, but yet, still exudes so much positiveness and is such a hoot to hang out with. She is also one who inspires me, as even when she is faced with things that would cripple others, she can find the light and the brightside. :)"

I love my bitches. I need to chat/email/comment more. I am going to work on that, I promise.
So now it is my turn to nominate.
BestFriend - she is going through so many changes and trying to find herself. I love her and want her happy. She is very brave and courageous.
HowieMaui - she is such a sweet person. I have known her for over two decades and feel a comfort with her that I cannot describe. I am so happy she is in my life and I am going to make such efforts to see her more often.
Deb - she inspires me daily. She has gone through hell, faced the worst and still tries to keep a positive outlook. I am walking the LiveStrong Challenge in honor of her.
I have been feeling good this week. I got my hair cut and I colored it. It is dark now. Very different. But I like it a lot. I will post a pic soon. So many pics to post. BestFriend sent me these from G's b-day dinner.
Sweetie and Me:
And my "don't mess with me or my friends" face:
And my "don't mess with me or my friends" face:OK time to go get my girl. I hope everyone has a great Thursday night. Remember, tomorrow is Friday the 13th :-)

so much in my head
There is so much to blog about and not enough time. I am leaving early today to get my hair did. Not sure exactly how, but something pretty and cute. SIL#2's wedding is on Saturday and I want to look great for the photos.
On Saturday I got a Mani/pedi with SIL#2, MIL, Niece, and SIL#2's MIL. I even got some french tips. Yep some fake nails on me. Can't bite these off. And they are the perfect length, no break in time with them.
I am still being good with my walking. Next week will start the eating right. I have a goal for my 10 year wedding anniversary that is coming up in January.
In other news, the mosquitoes are KILLING ME. They are everywhere. Bug has big bites on her arms and legs and I even have a bite on my forehead. This is so not cool. I love the rain, but I hate getting bit.
Tonight is last minute shopping for Saturday. I have to work late Wednesay and Thursday. I am not complaining. I have not had to work as much as I thought I would the last couple of weeks.
This might just be the most boring post ever. But I don't care. I will try to post photos tonight. Hang in there internets. I have been bad and have not been able to visit everyone's sites. But I will get there, I promise.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G!!!!
There is a lot that I want to post about my weekend. I need to post about great customer service, pampering myself, dinner to celebrate SIL#2's upcoming wedding, and seeing my Godmother last night while Bug met a new friend.
However, today is Mom's b-day! Today she is 59. She is an amazing mom. I am very lucky to have her. She is my friend, my mentor, my mom. She is supportive and encouraging and knows when to be catty and gossip with me when when I need it. She is my biggest fan and believes that I can do anything. She is proud of me in a way that makes me smile every day. She is strong, she is confident, and she is proud. Everyone loves G. She has a way about her that makes you want to sit and tell her everything. I adore my mother.
So I ask of my internets, go and wish my Mom a happy b-day.
I love you, Mama. I hope your day is fantastic. Thank you for being you and always being there for me.

once you pop, you can't stop
On Friday our living room fan died. We use our fans as a major source of cooling power, so this was not good. Saturday, Sweetie and MIL installed this beauty.
The minute they finished, I noticed how ugly the chandelier in our dining room looked in comparison. Today when Sweetie got home we had to go back to the store and get a matching fan for the dining room, which will be so very nice, as well as a tiny fan for the laundry room. Why is it when you do one improvement that everything else that you would like done becomes apparent? I love our little house. We bought this house in 1999 as a starter home. We had no intention of staying this long. It is small, has storage issues, and no backyard. But we love it, it is ours. And I don't see us moving anytime soon. And the honey-do list just grows and grows.
The Fourth was a big success. We went to the Nelson 5k. Sweetie, BestFriend, MotoDiva, Jeff, and IronDiva all participated. Bug and I sat out as she got sick on the way to the race site. It was fun and did not rain on us during the event, though it did rain hard during our nap. The evening was very nice. No rain and the temp was very comfortable. We had good food and pretty fireworks.

We had no intention of staying this long. It is small, has storage issues, and no backyard. But we love it, it is ours. And I don't see us moving anytime soon. And the honey-do list just grows and grows.The Fourth was a big success. We went to the Nelson 5k. Sweetie, BestFriend, MotoDiva, Jeff, and IronDiva all participated. Bug and I sat out as she got sick on the way to the race site. It was fun and did not rain on us during the event, though it did rain hard during our nap. The evening was very nice. No rain and the temp was very comfortable. We had good food and pretty fireworks.

Ahhhhhh much better
Yesterday, Bug and I were watching cartoons. During the commercial break a PSA came on. The guy spoke of how even though your website has your picture, that there are many people watching. And for this reason to never tell anyone on the internet where you live or to EVER meet them. So I have been bad. I not only have told people the city I live in, I have met many fantastic people over the internet, and a number in person.
And can I just say that just because a child sings a current unaltered pop song does not make it "kid friendly".
We have had a very nice weekend. During the day we went to Build a Bear and Bug made a Pooh Bear. Bug cried very hard when they put the medal tube into Pooh for the fluff n stuff. But all was better when he was stitched up. She loves him. And due to a special they had going on we were able to make a second bear for free to donate to a children's hospital.
Last night we had the best date. What makes a great day for me? Sushi at our favorite place, games and beer at Dave & Busters, and dessert of fondue and drinks at the Melting Pot. We had a night of fun and laughter :-) Very much needed and appreciated.
Now off to do my chores to prepare for the work week. I am feeling better health wise and stress wise. And with walking yesterday morning, I finished week 2 of my training. YAY.
