A Skinny Journey...

[Skinny_Chick]

Holy cow. It's fabulous to be home. We had to go to Florida to get fabulous boy's car. Well, my boss found this out and decided that we should go to West Palm beach to drop off a car for him while we were down there. Fantastic detour right? F*** no. West Palm was like 4 hours south of where we were actually supposed to be. The boss gave us gas money, but no enough. We go to drop this car off, and fabulous boy's car starts acting up (it had been hit pretty hard by a police car in the whole stolen car fiasco). So we end up stuck in West Palm. My boss says we should run fab boy's car thruogh the auction in Orlando. WTF? This car is worth A LOT and it's only got like 27,000 miles on it!!, hell no we aren't running it through the auction (never mind the fact that it's 4 and a half hours north of where we're stuck)!! So, I tell him we'll figure it out, and let him know. 12 hours later my cousin and my parents are blowing my phone out freaking out, because my boss called everyone and told them that he didn't know where we were??? WHAT? Christ we're stuck in West Palm, he knew this. So, everyone's flipping out. UGH. We never and I do mean NEVER should have dont that favor for him, it only ended up costing us money. Extra gas, extra days there, extra hotels, a lot of money. So, I get home this morning and call my parents and my dad flips. Well my voicemail on the cell was full. Freaking out that he didn't know where we were (once again here EVERYONE KNEW WHERE WE WERE). The fact that my parents only call when something major happens is a whole different issue. Anyways, 36 hours in the car is a KILLER, and everyone's a mess. I'm over it. Whatever.

We were going to buy this house from the boss, hello this house had water running out of the light in the ceiling, uummm we found a fabulous new house. Definately not the one from my boss that would have just been a huge mess.

So, here's the kicker....

I have a decent job right. But, I don't really make piles of money or anything. And I put up with alot at the office. And my beloved boss is kind of a slum lord, and he's your typical used car dealer right. So, do the math on that one, there's some shadyness in my office sometimes. Well this promotion I got offered, is going to come with a raise (which oddly enough hasn't really been discussed yet) but it won't be a fantastic raise he'll pay me the minimum to do the max amount of work, this is just how he rolls. And I know this. And with some of the things that go down in my office, well if anyone were to look to hard, there's a chance that I could get into some trouble, not good at all. Well fabulous boy offered me a job. A job paying 3 times what I make right now. A job where I'll never have to worry about getting into any kind of trouble. The answer is probably staring me in the face, but I'll ask anyway... What's a girl to do??

HELP!

It's great to finally be home ladies!!

WHEW There's been so much going on these past few weeks.

-Ditched the job, working for fabulous boy now.

-The new house is almost done being remodeled. I can't wait either!!

-Fabulous boy is still way FABULOUS! On the dark side his mother passed away last Friday. I hadn't seen her in 16 years, and seeing her in a casket was never ever how I imagined I'd see her again. TERRIBLE!

-I'm stuck at 151. Having some soup for dinner, trying to get stay on track, but this week has been hell. Funeral, house not quite done, new job, and all that.

Send me some love, I could use it right now! Love you all!!

[Skinny_Chick]

I've got to get back into the coming in here like 5 times a day. Tis the slow season at the office, so we're home alot. The computer is in the living room... you get the picture, it's way hard. Still stuck at 151 with a nasty case of PMS, so hopefully I'll drop soon enough.
Updates....

Fabulous boy is still fabulous. He cooks, he cleans, he lets my hang all over him whenever I want (yep, I'm kinda clingy but, he's ok with it), he lets me flip out sometimes, and he spoils me like crazy... fab boy.." Honey, would you like a Coach or a Vitton for Christmas?, but for Christmas you only get to pick one". Now, I like nice things don't get me wrong BUT I'M NOT UPPITY ENOUGH TO EXPECT 2!!!! LMAO, and I told him whichever one he decided on.. fabulous boy has fabulous taste. he still opens doors and all that jazz that usually goes on only until they get some .

The freaking house .... can we say the damn house still isn't done. But, then again, they're tearing out floor and walls and they even tore out the staircase and put in a new one. The hot tub is in, but the pool isn't done (can we say better hurry up on the pool, it's a whopping 25 degrees here today, the ground is freezing ect.) We're still in my apartment which is fine, the lease isn't up until next August, we're just going to break it when the house is done, so not a big deal.

No food yet today. And it's 4:00 pm right now.. Fabulous boy is making Roast and vegetables for dinner, so I'll have itty bitty roast, hidden in a bowl of steamed veggies. Although, I need to get more *Aquafina* Fabulous boy drinks Pepsi and Mountain Dew... REGULAR! No Diet Soda involved. So, if I want a soda it's only like 1 a day. At 150 calories a can. UGH. Whatever though, there's tea in the cupboard and Iced Tea in the Fridge so I'm not falling apart or anything. If anything it drastically cuts my soda consumption which has to be a good thing, I was drinking like a 12 pack a day for awhile. YIKES!

Anyways, we'll hope for some loss by the end of the week. Fabulous boy should be home in a bit, he's with a guy that works for us. So, I'm off before he comes home. *Skinny* Vibes for the next couple of days!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Twice in one day!! Go me Not a bad day overall, I suppose. Fabulous boy is taking his evening nap. He lays down about 9 or so then wakes back up at like 1 or 2 and stays up half the night, then comes back to bed for awhile, then wakes me up all early. But then again I should probably get used to it, seeing as how it's about to be snow plowing season, and it will be the same way then. Lucky for me, I'm the bosses girlfriend and the boss only goes out to plow when he feels like it That's why he's got 6 crews of guys ( we refer to them as "bitches") we spend alot of time babysitting them to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. And, lately we've been firing alot of them... First to go was the guy who stole fab boy's car ( the whole reason we went to Florida in the first place ) now if you steal the boss's car and use it in an armed robbery you get fired. Simple as that. Second and Third to go were the bitches that got pulled over drinking and driving in the company truck. DUH, you're on the clock and in a company vehicle DON'T DO THAT! Fourth and Fifth to go were the pair who overcharged a client by $1500 and decided to keep and split the money. We had to go to the guy's house and reimburse him and apologize profusely. If you screw the clients over, you get fired. We don't screw the clients. EVER! Six just went this week. They were plowing a major account (it snowed this week) well the guy was screwing around in one of the trucks (these trucks belong to the client they're NOT our trucks) and broke the rear axle then lost control and slammed into a car. GENIUS then proceeded to leave the scene (we found out later he recently lost his driver's license and didn't tell us) so his last paycheck is going to the client to fix their truck. Mental note.. you wreck a clients property, get the police involved and LIE TO THE BOSS, you get fired. So, yea we've lost and replaced an entire crew of guys in like 3 months. The strange part of this is that in 4 years of business fabulous boy has never fired ANYONE! So, all of a sudden the bitches are going off the deep end or something. They're well paid and work decent hours but all of a sudden they're just crazy or something. But, if we have to replace them we save money. The economy is so bad around here that if we have to fire one that makes $18 an hour, we can replace him with a guy who's got 10 years experience and who will work for $13. It bites that it has to happen but, business goes on.

It's definately crazy around here lately with the bitches getting crazy, the house not being done, and us being in a 1 bedroom apartment instead of a 3,000 square foot house with a finished basement. Sometimes it's really hard being in that small of a space with someone almost 24 hours a day. Fortunately, we get along really well, we always have. We don't bicker and we don't fight.We're not working a whole lot at the moment, so, we're usually here together. The stupidest hardest part is probably the idea of explaining that we need alone time, as opposed to just saying "Oh, you're going there? Well, I don't want to go with you". If you say "Honey, I think I just want to be alone for awhile", it's way better than just saying you don't want to go. Fabulous boy told me he didn't want to go somewhere with me the other day, and I about flipped. Then he said "Hey, we're together ALL the time, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I just need a break for a couple of hours". And, magically with that explanation all was well. Other than that simple thing, all is well, we just don't talk about the house not being done. It will be done when it's done. Life is good

Food wise it wasn't a bad day today. My stomach is KILLING ME right now . Made the soup with milk for fabulous boy. Milk makes my stomach MESSED UP, IBS and Lactose Intolerance SUCK! other than that today....

2 Pepsi's (Iknow I know) 300 calories
1/2 pkg of Ramen Noodles 190 calories
1/2 cup Cream of Chicken Soup 100 calories (darn milk)

Grand Total 590 ......... not bad, considering I haven't been very good lately. So, GO ME

I'm tired, my stomach is a mess, I'm so ready for bed.... So, I'm off. *Skinny* Dreams!

[nickytml]

thats nuts that everything is so crazy around your house. hopefully everything works out and u can get in there soon enough


sounds like you are verryy happy with the boy - and he seems to spoil u

ur doin veryy good with eating

[Skinny_Chick]

*149* and it's 149.0 EVEN! For awhile there I was terrified that I was permanently trapped at 151.0. Apparently all it took for a little stress to fix it.

Hello, understatement. I'm way stressed lately, due to a bunch of really messed up things. I'm not going to get into any of it here, it's all really personal stuff. But I can say that I've been knocked down a few times in the past, and damn it, I'm not dead yet. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. For me that's got some serious truth to it.

I think I'm going to paint my nails. I took my acrylics off (I've had them on for pretty much the better part of 12 years). Usually I take them off long enough to put a new set on, because my nails hurt when they're not on. This time though I actually took them off long enough to let them heal. So, maybe I'll actually paint them. Go Me!

Anyways, I'm a wreck.... but fabulous boyfriend is still fabulous. He's my bright spot right now.

The only thing I've had today.....

*Aquafina*
An Apple

We'll see what later brings. It just sucks that I've got to be under killer stress to lose anything. Or at least it seems that way. *Skinny* Evening to you all!

[nickytml]

whohooooo 149!!! congratzzzz I bet that feels great! its the greatest feeling when u move onto the next digits of numbers goodbye 150's

i am definetely a fan of acrylic nails.. they make your hands look much prettier. and i feel soo much more lady like with them on. im actually gettin some on in a bit before i go away on my trip. im sooo pumped.

[Skinny_Chick]

147.5 YES!!! I SAID 147.5!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy COW!

No food yet today, fabulous boy's in the bathroom. Be back later! Just wanted to share that!!

[nickytml]

147.5 wow!!! thats amazinggg ur doin so great!!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Thanks Nicky

Ok, i can have a minute. BF just ran out to take care of some things. So, yea, I got on the scale this morning and it said... DrumRoll please... 147.5

The stress is eating me alive lately. My Christmas shopping is almost done, not quite.Although we may have gotten some good financial news today (Once again, sorry about the vauge discriptions of all this mess. No one knows what's actually going on, but I will say that all this trouble and huge mess was caused by someone who works for BF. It in no way shape of form was anything he or I did. But it's causing HUGE problems right now, and these problems could go on for a few more months, but we'll pray that doesn't happen. Anyway it's a really bad financial mess).

For the moment I'll just be happy with my 147.5. BF just went to pick up a friend of his, who I think is staying with us for the night. I'm alright with that. Maybe it'll take my crazy mind off a lot of stuff.

I had a court hearing on Tuesday. A hearing I've waited 3 years for. All went well, UNTIL the judge started grilling me about my daughter. Out of 40 minutes he must have spent over 10 minutes talking about her. I don't see why, and it REALLY upset me. She doesn't have anything to do with anything the hearing was about. So, I seem to be having emotional let down right now. He totally upset me for no reason, I cried when I left the courtroom. Then I cried while BF drove me home. Then I cried for another hour later on. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. So, it's over, and now we wait for a decision. Hopefully within the next 2 months. It's going to be rough waiting for me, I know that much.

Anyways, I'm off to pick up for the company. *Skinny* Weekend to you all!!

[Hollister76]

You are doing so well!

Have a great Skinny day

[Skinny_Chick]

WOW I knew it had been awhile since I'd been on, but apparently it's been forever. But, I'm here.

*News, news, news.*

* Fabulous boyfriend asked me to marry him.

The next news isn't public yet, but I can share it here

* I'm pregnant This flabbergasted us. Fabulous future hubby was always told that he would never be able to have children. Long story. Well, someone was not quite right on that one, because according to the tests I took, they are all positive. We're thrilled, although my family might not be. Another long story.


*We're in Florida at the moment. Been here for almost a month. Having a blast, thinking about staying down here. One more thing to piss off the family. I'll have to do the background on all this soon.

I'm totally nauseous lately. UGH But if I eat a little it pretty much goes away. I've been the soup, salad and fruit princess lately.I don't have a scale down here, going to have to get one. But I'm going to be careful this time around. None of that "Eating for Two" crap.


So, if anyone has any advice please pass it this way.

*Skinny* day to you all!!

[Skinny_Chick]

Maybe I would feel better if I just threw up. Nauseous again. Had a salad and some apple for lunch and I'm still feeling bad. FFH (fabulous future hubby) is napping. He's doing some crazy third shift work down here. Not sure how I feel about being by myself all night? I don't particularly like it, and he hates it. It's not for long though. More later the new laptop keeps screwing up when I'm typing, annoying. *SKINNY* afternoon to all of you!
