Frustrated!

If you have emailed me at my yahoo email address in the past couple of days...can you please tell me? I think I'm not recieving any emails from the people in my address book...but I'm not sure. Please comment to this blog if you have sent me stuff..and I haven't responded.

Thank you!

I'm a Jogger!

Woo hoo! I actually jogged last night. Karen and I have been staying up on walking this week...and I feel great! We were walking last night..and I was like "Let's see if we can jog to that tree." And we did! And then we would walk..and then we would jog. Right now we are up to walking/jogging for 37 minutes exactly ( I have a stop watch.) We went up from 33min/34sec. We're trying to get up to an hour a night. Oh it was so scary though. We were walking down a street that we normally walk down..and there was this big ol' dog in the middle of the street growling and barking at us. Karen was like "I think that's God telling us to turn around."lol. We did, he followed us a little ways but then stopped. I know this sounds crazy...but Erik attached a small pocket knife to my stop watch so I could have it for protection. Not that I would ever hurt a doggy...but this dog was SCARY. So I felt a little protected.
Other than that..I'm really glad the weekend is coming up. And I'm sooooo happy that we're having cooler weather. I hope it never get's back up to the 100's. Ok, well gotta do laundry. TGIF everybody!

Back in the saddle again.

Ok, so I started walking again yesterday. I've actually prolonged it for a long as I possibly could. I just hate exercising..who's with me? So anyways, Karen and I agreed that we would be each other's walking buddy. We decided that the evening would be best considering we would be cooking in the texas heat if we went earlier in the day. We started walking at 8:00pm...and it was completly dark and I thought I was absolutely going to hate it. But actually...it wasn't too bad. I think I prefer walking at night now...you have privacy..you can be silly without worrying if someone is seeing you thrue their window..and there was actually a little breeze. All in all, I enjoyed it last night.
It just sucks to be me right now. I really thought I was going to lose this baby weight..but actually I've gained. I can only wear like two pairs of jeans now..and then the rest are stretch pants. I told Karen that my goal right now is to lose 30lbs. That way, I'm sure I'll be able to fit into the 20 pairs of jeans I have hanging in my closet. I refuse to buy bigger clothes...it's just not going to happen.
I'm sure you're tired of hearing my rantin' about all of this. But get used to it. I figured I would kind of keep a self journal on here to record my triumphs and defeats...not sure yet. All in all everything is going ok, you've probably heard that Erik got let go from his job...it was actually a temp job..so we kinda knew that it was going to happen. So if anyone out there knows of anything opening up...let us know.

Oh! And I'm almost done with a purse that I've been making. I'm pretty proud of myself because I've had to do some things with it that I've never done before. Now I'm just stuck on the damn straps..uggghhh. I'll post a pick when I'm done with it.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

The next picture is of Kenzie in her car seat ready to go home! Oh, and the last pic I just had to add. It's Gavin seeing the baby for the VERY FIRST time. He wasn't very pleased obviously..lol. That's all for now...I'll post more later on. Bye!

Isn't that the cutest name ever!? Ok, so it's official...we now have a new addition to our family. And she's just the sweetest little thing. Karen had her baby Monday evening at 6:39 p.m. and everything couldn't have gone better. Except for the fact that Karen's epidural went away during her hardest labor pains and I swear I saw the devil..lol. But all is good. It was sooo cool because I got to be in the labor room to see everything...it was me..my mom, Melanie, and of course Karen and the hospital staff. They actually had me hold one of her legs during the process...but that meant that I saw everything..and I mean..EVERYTHING..lol. But it was just a great moment..I'll never forget it.

So I'm glad that she's home...(came home yesterday)...and that everything is quieting down. I'll have some pics up soon...I just hate my dial-up because it takes forever and a day to download a pic. But I'll do one or two at least..promise.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Love ya!

IT'S BABY TIME!

That's right everybody! Karen is going to have her baby! She is scheduled to be induced on Monday!!! I am soooooooooo freakin' excited! So she went to the doctor on Thursday where he informed her that she was at 4 centimeters and 70% effaced. He told her that she will need to come into the hospital at 5:30 am to start the whole process. It was funny because Karen has been progressing so fast that he said there would be a good chance that she could have the baby this weekend. Nothin' has happened yet though...believe me..we've all been on pins and needles.

Ok, so if anyone would like to visit her she's going to be at the LakePoint hospital which is like five minutes away from us.

We hope to see you guys there!

I love my friends...

I just wanted to say how much I love my friends. Sometimes it takes something to make you realize how much you appreciate them. One of my very best friends needed some support this week, and it really opened my eyes to see how much we really are there for one another. I love you guys!!!

Did I tell y'all?

I have the absolute greatest boyfriend! Guess what! Ok, I have to collect myself because I am soooooo excited. Ok, everyone has been updated to the fact that Erik has to work on Labor Day weekend which has completely screwed up our trip to see Dave right? Everyone knows this right? Ok. Well guess what he did? He called Melanie and was able to talk her into going with me. Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? Knowing how much he has been anxiously waiting for this trip, he has unselfishly given up his ticket to make me happy. *Sighhhh*. I still can't believe it. I...Stacy Goode...am going to see my favorite band in the whole world...like next weekend...woooohoooooo!

Ok, in other news. I have seriously been thinking about getting a full-time job. Maybe this consideration is temporary..but it seriously has not left me yet. I've just been looking at how big Gavin is getting...and something inside me tells me that he might be ready to spend time with other babies. Oh my gosh, right now that feels like the hardest thing to think of. But in a way..it kind of seems like the right thing. And the extra money from my job would help tremendously. Except for I really don't know how much it costs to put a baby of Gavin's age into preschool full-time. These are things I have to look into too. That's all that has been going on with me lately. I'll keep ya updated on the job status.

I hope everyone is doing good!

Oh also, Melanie and Jon got a new doggie today. They saved her from the pound, and she is the sweetest dog I have ever met. They named her Lucy...and she is sooo cute...and she LOVES Gavin. I will have pics of her up when I take some...lol.

K, Bye!

So why doesn't anything work out for me anymore?

I'm pissed. And Erik's pissed too. We're both pissed off people.

Ugghhhhhhh. Ok, so everyone who knows me knowwwws that Erik and I are going to the Dave Matthews Band concert on Labor Day weekend. Well guess what, Erik's new job will not let him off on Labor Day! What the hell is up with that? Doesn't labor mean work? Isn't it a day for all the laborers out there? And he was told before he started that he gets all major holidays off INCLUDING Labor Day. So what are we supposed to do now? Erik told me that he would look for a new job...(isn't he sweet?)..but I don't want him to have to do that. I mean this job is working out pretty good for him right now. I just wish that the Dave Matthew's gods would come down and hand us tickets for the Dallas show. Why in the hell did he wait so long to say that he was coming to Dallas? And since he hasn't been here in the past two years...we really didn't expect this.

pissed...pissed..pissed.

Slumber Parties Rock!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I know I did. I had the absolute best time Saturday night. Dina hosted an awesome slumber party for a handful of girls and it was just what the doctor ordered. Why didn't we do this sooner? It's like Dina said, "No boys, no kids, no drama." Dina I think we could be slumber party planners and make boocoos of money! So we started the night off right with margaritas...woooohooo...needless to say their are plenty of pics to blackmale any one of us. We flipped through our old yearbooks, and Dina's photo albums..which was pretty fun. Then drank more margaritas...proceeded to do kareoke with a remote control as a microphone (don't ask), and then ended it with a tantalizing yet hilarious game of 21 questions. Ok, I'm about to hit it..but I just wanted to let you girls know (and you know who you are), that I feel so much closer to you guys..and you truly are my best friends. Love you!

Bored

I am sooo bored. BORED BORED BORED. The house is clean, laundry is done, Gavin has had his bath and is now napping, there is nothing good on T.V., and I have read everyone's blog.(manda that was sooo not funny by the way.) Any suggestions on what I can do? I was thinking about knitting some more. I feel like I'm never going to finish my niece's blanket. I'm already wanting to start a new project, in which I'm so pissed because I cannot find my Stitch and Bitch book where there was a totally cute purse pattern that I wanted to do. See, even what I'm talking about is boring..lol. I'm already ready to start shopping for Christmas, crazy huh? I guess because the rainy weather is reminding me of winter. And plus I'm absolutely in love with IKEA and have told my family members that I will be doing my one-stop shopping there. If you haven't been there..GO! It's so awesome, I told Melanie that it was a women's wet dream..he he. Ok, well..maybe I'll go look online for a Halloween costume to make for Gavin. I hope everyone is having a good day, and I hope Jenny had a good birthday.

Laters!

Happy Birthday Erik!

As some of you may know today is Erik's 26th birthday. It didn't start off too well considering I dropped him off at the train station too late and he missed his train which made him late to work this morning. Also, he has absolutely no money for lunch (and I wish I knew this because I would have made him lunch.) And above all else, he has a terrible toothache. So needless to say, I have to find a way to make him have a great day today. So first I will sing him a song. Ohhhhhhh, Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you..happy birthday dear Erik..happy birthday to you! Second, I will stand on my head and juggle bowling pins (do da..do da..juggling.) And third, I'll tell him that I think he is wonderful..and the best father ever. I love you honey!! Happy Birthday!!

So this morning I woke up too the sound of a baby..

FALLING OUT OF HIS CRIB!! Can you believe that? That's right...at about 9:05 this morning I woke up to the sound of a loud thud which brought frantic screaming and mommy jumping out of her bed and rushing to the crib to see NO BABY!! It was only like two seconds that I realized that Gavin had fallen out of his crib, did a complete flip and landed on his back on the floor. Talk about panic mode...it took a good ten minutes to calm him down. Poor baby. Well, needless to say Gavin's mattress is officially on the lowest level now thanks to his daddy who worked so hard on the crib this evening. So it doesn't really seem that there is any lasting affects of this terrible tragedy. Gavin has been very energetic yet awnry today..so everything is normal. So, other than that..everyone wish me luck on Karen's shower this Sunday. She doesn't know the theme or anything..so I hope she likes it. Ok, well I hope everyone is having a good week!!

Hey everyone!

Ok, so I'm not all with it when it comes to blogging here lately. Sorrrrry. I hope everyone is doing good. Nothing new around here, I'm just waiting for these two baby showers to be over and done with already. So Erik, Karen, and I went to go see Katy yesterday. And she's doing really well, and she looks great. Please keep your fingers crossed that she gets to go home this weekend. Other than that, I'm anxious to see The Machinist. Since Teresa is my buddy on Netflix I noticed that she had rented it. So I hope it is good, Melanie said something about how he weighed like 80lbs. during the whole movie. That is so crazy. Manda, you would be so proud of how far I have gotten on Karen's baby girl's blanket. It's so pretty. It's pink and white stripes but it's ruffled, too cute I tell ya. I have to finish it by next Sunday, but I will definitely take a picture so I can show you. Anyhoosers, I'm going to go exercise because Melanie and I are in a contest and I'm going to kick her butt.

Hope everyone has a groovy day!

So I found this headband in my closet from last year...

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile you guys. A lot of things have been going on and I haven't really been on the internet. I hope everyone is doing good. Not much to say really, except for this summer is hot as heck. Who agrees? I went out yesterday with my sister Karen and Gavin. We went to a couple of party places to look for baby shower supplies. And I'm telling you...the heat was killing us! I mean, you honestly have to think twice if you even want to take your kid to the park. Anyways, that's about all that is going on with me. Hope everyone is having a good week!
