Hey Jason is like the 'Angela' of his office! But a lot nicer, I'm sure :)

DasBecca : Love is a doing word.

"Either that, or it's a really inappropriate joke about Michelle's chest." Made me laugh out loud.

Also, that bathing suit is adorable- ignore the gawkers, I bet you looked HOT!

DasBecca : Busy celebrating.

DUDE. Free chicken is ALWAYS a good story.

(I once dropped a chick-fil-a sandwich on my garage floor, opened up and everything, and I totally picked it up, wiped it off, and ate it for dinner. So food is very important to me, hence always a good story.)

Happy Mother's Day, and yay for Michelle moving down soon :) :) :)

DasBecca : Half a decade.

Happy birthday Elias! You are an amazing writer, Becca. *sniffle* Great letter!

DasBecca : Such great heights.

DasBecca : 2 + 2 = 0

wow, if that header is part of the invitation- AMAZING. You and Jason together are like The Amazing Creative Duo! And the parties you throw are just incredible. Can you be my Mommy? lol

DasBecca : Squabbles.

Michelle, that is an awesome, awesome story. I did WW this fall as well, to lose baby-weight, and I was amazed at how quickly it worked. I lost 20 pounds in just a few months. And you are exactly right- it's all about habit. I had been in the habit of eating like a Big Fat Pregnant Lady and couldn't break the cycle. I did, and after a few months I found that I didn't even need to track my points anymore- the 'right' decisions came naturally.

That being said, I am SO IMPRESSED that you were able to walk away from the cheesecake and apple tarts table. Kudos to you! hehe Thanks for sharing your story :) And girl, I saw the latest pictures of you on Becca's Flickr, and woo, you're a hottie!

DasBecca : Holier than thou.

oh don't I know it. I was basically shunned from my high school youth group which I had been VERY involved in after I decided not to go on the Mexican mission trip they were planning for the summer. It was going to cost several thousand per person, and while there would be 'fundraising', it really wasn't going to be enough. My parents could not afford that. So since I wasn't going on the trip, I was now Satan's Child, apparently. argh. As a result, I was 'pushed out' and made to feel like a major outsider and eventually stopped participating in youth group altogether. Which was really sad, because I had a ton of close friends in it from other nearby schools and we ended up drifting apart, etc. Very sad. And disappointing.

I love that Addie thanked the doctor for her shot. That is all kinds of Awesome.

DasBecca : Rollicking.

haha that is my favorite picture ever. It reminds me of a mint gum commercial, or Mentos or something. hee

And I hate that feeling where you think you'll never be well again, that you'll always, always feel like poo. argh. The worst.

DasBecca : Karate kid.

aw hun *hugs* Don't let those stupid people at the place make you feel bad- that's actually terrible of them to get all defensive and mad at you for deciding not to go with their insane contracts (that really is ridiculous that they require 6 months??) But I know that you must be feeling bad about explaining it to Elias... he will be sad, but you know how kids are, he'll bounce back and forget all about it ;) And for the record- I would have made the same decision.

DasBecca : Baked.

You are NOT a bad mom, I'm sure it has happened many times. It's so early in the spring, I don't think sunburn is really on our minds right now! Poor Addie though... I'm sure she'll forgive Mama, if you give her a 'pop-sik-el!' hehe I hope she feels better soon :) And you too!!!

DasBecca : Doing without.

Yay, good luck! Quitting anything is hard. I stopped biting my nails about 6 years ago after 20+ years of doing it, and THAT WAS SO HARD. But I am so glad I did it! And even if it doesn't seem like a big thing in The Grand Scheme of Things, if it's important or tough for you, then you need all the cheerleading you can get!

And quitting pop (or soda or whatever you want to call it- I'm from Pittsburgh, we call it POP!) is such a healthy thing. Seriously. Aspartame and all that other stuff aside- just the acid alone is enough to make you healthier when you cut that out. I had a high school teacher tell us once (I have no idea if it's true or not, who knows!) that if you put a steak in a bowl of Coke, it would be digested in a day. Or something? Basically he was just trying to illustrate that it's probably not the best thing to drink. heh.

GOOD LUCK!

DasBecca : Grass flowers.

oh I laughed out loud just picturing you saying it! I'm the same way though- I have all these great thoughts in my head but no guts to say them ;)

DasBecca : Grass flowers.

I would have loved to see you say to those mall people, 'I LIKE SEX, OKAY?' You so should have said it. hehe

DasBecca : Whopper.

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:54:50 +0000

OMG, I totally almost squirted water out my nose when Jason asked if you poured orange juice on your toe. HA!

Sorry to hear about The Sick. We were right there with you (except for the Sexy Hotel Plans, we didn't have any of those) But we did have a trip to the ER on Sunday night, that was fun! Everyone's okay now, but babies and fevers? SUCKAGE. Get better soon!!!!

DasBecca : Administrator of DISCIPLINE.

Fri, 8 Feb 2008 13:31:38 +0000

Dude, you are like My Mom Hero! Seriously. Doling out creative discipline (I LOVE the wet shirt-sleeves idea, way to get the point across!) and then laying the smack-down on bratty kids at the playground. WOOHOO!

DasBecca : The hits keep coming.

Sat, 2 Feb 2008 19:07:21 +0000

um yeah, that was supposed to say 'I can't help.' I was so excited about being Commenter #1 I didn't proofread :)

DasBecca : The hits keep coming.

ooh AM I FIRST??!??!! EEEEEE!

I just want to say, I HATE when the hormones make your brain take one little thing and turn it into The Biggest Thing Ever. It's like, you KNOW it's silly and that tomorrow you'll be all 'ppsssht, *whatever*!' But today, Everything Stinks.

I know I can help, or even send nachos. So.... *hugs* Hope that helps a little!

DasBecca : Changing things up.

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 19:05:19 +0000

We've only ever planned one big trip, and that was Italy before we had Maggie. And we were pretty much in agreement, we'd both always wanted to go there! But I'd imagine that future trips might have more... 'discussion' involved ;)

And yes, there is much nibbling on the baby that goes on in our house! It's those cheeks and chubby legs, they just BEG for it! heehee

DasBecca : Changing things up.

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 07:27:32 +0000

ooh, I can't wait to hear where you guys end up going! How exciting!

Also, I laughed out loud when Addie said 'you're welcome' instead of 'thank you'. That is so adorable! How do you not just eat her up on a daily basis?
