Howdy all! I will apologize right off the bat...I'm cranky today and have no focus. I don't think i could even begin to remember what we've been talking about.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Oh darn it....I forget how to get another color on my font. AAAHHH!!!
Thanks for the drink Lauren. I definitely need it today. Good luck with your video! I want to re-do Ryley's, but can't seem to find the time to scan/transfer all the pictures to the new computer, put in the videos from his early days, etc much less put it together. Sigh....I'm sure your fundraising will go just fine!

Phew! We're rockin' it today. Up before 8am, actually brushed teeth, showered, ate breakfast, finished video, got awesome Beco Baby Carrier in mail and figured it out so I can "wear" Micah everywhere... it's sooooooo cute! Lovin' it.
Now I just gotta send out an email with the video and I'll chalk this up to an uber productive day!! Here is our video.. Our Video

Katie: Wow, kickboxing? Go you!! I'm heading to the gym today too.....for a massage!  Lorena: Actually it's not a great hospital! They are getting better though, they're trying to get accredited. I have all my friends telling me I shouldn't be working there, but if I don't work there I can't really work anywhere! Mostly they speak english, but the other official language is Chamorro which is similar to spanish, but most everyone except a very few on the south side all speak english also. Kate: Hi!! Might take you a bit, we're awful chatty lately!! Donna: Sending you a midori sour, my favorite!! Lauren: Wow, that is an uber productive day! Loved your video, made me tear up, sweet little Akeelah, maybe I'll make one next year if I can figure out how. I ended up having chicken in baja chipolte sauce on the grill, plus grilled zucchini, corn on the cob and grilled pineapple for dessert! Yummy! Go ahead, be jealous . Today I've got my doc appointment for my heart rate, and my massage! Should've flipped them around and my heartrate would be lower for my doc appointment, lol!!

So back from the doc. He's diagnosed me with white coat syndrome. In other words, I get nervous going into the doctor and my heartrate skyrockets! They hooked me up to the pulse ox, my heart rate was 84-88 while he was out of the room, he walked in and about ten seconds later it had jumped to 115  . He did an EKG to double check and it was normal! Oh, and my stomach? Yeah, incompetence! They said my culture came back positive, thus the nasty water diluted IV medicine I had to take for the past two weeks. It was NEGATIVE! They looked at the previous culture, not the most recent one! So I didn't need to be on the meds for the past two weeks, lol!  Oh Guam, how I love you!

6. St. Patrick's Day celebrates the death of St. Patrick on March 17, 461 AD. Lauren~ You put me to shame. Go you with your uber-productiveness! Donna~ There are also the handy little colored "A"'s just below the comment box. Very handy! Off to bed for me. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Hah! Found it!!!! But that little tiny box is annoying to type in. LOL! Thanks for the midori sour Stacy! That used to be one of my favorites way back. Sounds like wonderful medicine they have going on there in Guam. UGH!!! Glad they got it all figured out for ya though. Oh and thanks for making my mouth completely water (right up until the pineapple part) even though I just ate dinner. Yours sounds AMAZING. Ryley pitched in their game tonight. Makes me so totally nervous. I can't do it for him. I can't help him at all. He walked about five batters, but he did go deep in the count (2 strikes, three balls) on a few of them, struck one out, and his defense got another out for him. Go Wales!! I'm a wee bit Welsh and a little bit more Irish.

Re: Lucky Lady Café
No problem!
Yeah, um, sad thing is that military medical care is better than off base care!
Ha! forgot there were fruit haters here! I used to hate pineapple till I had it grilled! Dinner was really good last night too! We had to go really quick on the grill though.....it started pouring, storms are coming through, hope none of them turn into typhoons!! Messed up my diving plans tomorrow too, oh well!
Awesome on Ryley!! He'll get better at it, sounds like he did a pretty good job though as it was! That's great!!

Lauren~Well done! Nice that Micah liked this thing, it is like a body carrier right? I bought one for Ana Valentina, in internet, and she didn´t like it at all  so used twice I think and gave up with it. Stacy~I have never heard of that syndrome! Now thinking about it how you manage to work with white coat drs? Well I don´t know about Guam hospitals but here are terrible. Sounds like a great dinner I love spicy food, and any kind of fruit. Jessica~Thanks for correcting me so now I know 4 new things about St PAtrick. Well my test was piece of cake, you wouldn´t beleive my luck, I say teacher spoke so much about this so surely he would asked this and I study only that material, even I got to univ early to study little bit more, and there were other classmates and were studying other things and asked me what I thought he would ask? and I say my 5 questions I tought were most probably, and they said no no way, and you know what? I got 4 of 5 it felt so good, like if I knew the answers before hand. When I stood up to leave I looked at them and just smile, like saying I told you so..... Probably they must think i had a copy of the test before hand. So I go to bed, I surely should be finishing my essay for tomorrow, but I think I need my bed, beside I have a busy day. (Did I mention I made a queu for almost an hour for reading books for my son at school, at the end I got desperated and asked were else can I buy them, and leave, how desorganized  ). Night night Lorena

Lauren-Your video was wonderful, it made me cry. I know it will work.
We are going to our family teams kick off this weekend. This year the pirates have kicked in. I would like to be more involved in our local chapter but they seem to have plenty of volunteers and work always seems to be in the way. I have to stop making excuses.
This week has been long and not very productive or good. I can't wait for next week. Maybe the midori sour would help. Send one back east.
Hopefully my Blue Devils will play well this weekend and improve the week.
Have a good thursday

Oh Ellen - Hope your week gets better. Friday can still salvage it, right?
Why is it the more I do, the more I have to do? I can't seem to catch up these days. My house is tore up right now. No matter how much I pick up, sweep, vacuum, clean it's still a pit. SAVE ME!

Donna~ If you find the answer to the more I do the more there is to do thing then please let me know! Hope you're feeling better today. I have cranky days myself. Katie~ I love kickboxing (haven't done it in forever)!! It was my favorite back when I could pick my legs up.... That quiz was hard!!! Stacy~ I was going to tell you how yummy your meal sounded, but now that you're not feeling well, I don't know that I think that. I did think of you yesterday while I was filling out financial aid paperwork. It asked what state I lived in and when I clicked the pulldown menu---there was Guam!! I thought of you saying that nobody understands that it's US territory. Kate~ HEY!!! We miss you too!!! I've not had a nap at all this week and I'm long overdue! Be back later!!

Donna: Thanks! Got a doc appointment in a few hours to see if I can get some antinausea meds so I can at least drink some water. Like Tracy said, if you find the answer let me know too!! Tracy: Haha! No, it was from dinner last night I think, not from the night before. We had mexican chicken corn chowder, and I used one of thosre rotisserie chickens, I think it was that, though hubby didn't get sick but I've got nothing if it wasn't that! Woohoo! We made it on the map somewhere! Now if only I can figure out WHERE I need to file my taxes and how to do it for Guam. Hope you get a good nap in!

Good luck Stacy. Michael and I both got food poisoning when I was five months pregnant with Grace. I had to call my mom to come take care of Ryley (who was still an infant at the time). I couldn't even pick him up I was so sick.
Did I mention I ate my lunch out on the back patio today? So nice outside!

Ahhh....I'm up for nice weather!!
My nephew got whacked in the head with a toy truck today at the babysitters and almost had to have stitches!! The dr. said that it would be more traumatic to have it sewn up for him that to just leave it alone and let it heal since it's not somewhere that will be a big deal. He's not bothered by it all all!!
UGH---eastern time zone means that I have to think of something for supper. Donna can I borrow something out of your freezer?

Oh no!! Poor boy. But I've found they rarely are affected by their injuries. Ethan smashed his chin open on the coffee table when he was two. He did have to have stitches but he was so not interested.
Softball game for Grace tonight. I'm not in the mood!

We're just about to start soccer. Patrick has a coaching clinic tonight. I just realized though that they may not make cleats small enough for my child's abnormally small/narrow feet. I hope it is not as hard as it sounds b/c she is so excited.
My parents are in town so I am leaving work early and the SUN is out in pittsburgh. It is a miracle. The sun is never out when we have company.
Have a great weekend. Miss you kate...

Stacy~ughh! Food poisoning! Hope you are feeling better now, as Tracy said it sound so good. But you eat out or bought the food?
Didn´t know Guam was US territory, really girls, I learn new things here every day! I have never been food poisoning, I have a stomach like a rock Well in my country you get use to bacterias so I am inmune to them. No it is a joke, the my DH says I am too picky with the food. Once my DH and Son got food poisoned from eating raw oysters, I can´t even smell them, so they ended up 3 days at the hospital, Thank God the hospital accepted to put them in the same room, otherwise I would have ended up sleeping there in children ward with my son. Hey my son tought it was a hotel and keep asking where was the pool  Tracy~Sorry to hear about your nephew, hope he is better, so funny that he was angry for not letting him see Dora! Donna~Really you do a lot of things, yes this also wasn´t my week, thank God it is almost over. Katie~Good luck with your trip, never heard about thatranch, but sounds cool. Well i love going out from home with the fam. So thanks girls for the compliments for my test. But yesterday wasn´t so good, I really have a problem with multiple choice tests, they get me confuse, beside the teacher was so picky, that all the choices could be correct it was just a single word that made the difference so I think it was not good for me. Well at least all that is over. I get so stress. Happy Weekend everyone! Lorena

Ugh....I was helping Ethan finish his homework this morning (well, re-do a page...do it nice or do it twice, right?!!) and all of the sudden got that sharp shooting pain down my neck and between my shoulder blades. I can hardly turn my head right now. Grrrr....
