Okay okay. I've GOT to blog. Let's just talk about diets for a minute or 2, can we? I lost 12lbs on the cookie diet (now endorsed by ...you guessed it, snookie.) Anyways, it was really friggin hard. But worked. I just clicked on people.com to see the latest celebrity news. 1. Aerosmith and JLO are going to be idol judges. 2. Heidi and Spencer are getting divorced . 3. Drew Carrey has lost 80lbs since January. This is how he's doing it. NO carbs. Absolutely none. No crackers, no pizza, no corn, no beans, no starches of any kind. He has egg whites in the morning, greek yogurt, and cut fruit. For dinner, he has grilled chicken and steamed veggies. Furthermore, he only drinks water. NO soda,no tea, no COFFEE. Only water. I wonder how fast the weight would come off if I started this? I wonder how many people would put up with my biotchiness after a few days of zilch carbs. Shall we see??! And, I just bought that Georgia Pecan COFFEE from the fresh market!!! I think this is something I will be starting.Oh, and he does are you ready...45 minutes of CARDIO a day. Is this doable??! It's going to have to be. I'm tired of the flab. I'm tired of wearing blah things. I have an inner beauty just waiting underneath all my fatsy parts. So, we'll see how it goes okay? I mean, if you get on people.com and see Drew Carrey's picture..you will wigout. It's a promise folks. I'm 5 feet 1inch. I'm supposed to be skinny. And, pretty :0) So, hang on for the ride. Starting weight...uh. Y'all ready for this.? The other day it was 157 so we'll go with that for a starting weight. I hope like heck it isn't more but it's been a few days since I weighed.
I know what I'm having on break...egg whites and grilled chicken!
Fat hugs,
Kimmie

pics
I took some wizbang pics this past week from our trip to Wilmington. Or, as we call it in our family, Wilmington-town. I'm a little annoyed that they didn't upload...I COMPLETELY blame my ancient blackberry. It's SO time for an iphone. My friends on FB are going to hate me after I get one, I'll be posting pics and videos and updates all the friggin time. I'm looking forward to it! So, Seth is FINALLY getting a top tooth. It's been bothering him and US for a few weeks now. It's his left front. So dang cute coming in. And WHITE :) I always say UP when I get him out of the crib and just recently he has started repeating me. It's precious. It's nice to hear him say something other than uh-oh for sure. I'm glad that he's progressing. He takes a few steps if holding onto something or trying to get to something. It's baby steps for sure, but I'm just really ready for him to start walking.
Parker starts school on Sept. 7th. It's so hard to believe. When we got the dates in the mail the other day on a little floppy postcard, I couldn't believe it. I just feel like he's getting so big. AND, I LOVE IT. He finally understands me when I'm talking to him and he just babbles off about the silliest things. When I look in the backseat and he's singing a pop song that's on the radio's top 20 and dancing...I just smile. I cannot believe that I grew him :0) I cannot believe that at the end of September he will be 3. I'm so thankful. I'm also excited about him going to school a few hours a day. I'm hoping to spend the time doing something constructive like WALKING or running. But, probably walking because I'll still have baby Sethie. Bottom line, I need to do something special for me in those hours. Maybe I'll get caught up on the laundry again. Maybe read more. :) The opprotunities are endless. I'm excited about all the pictures that will begin to fill our fridge, and the stories about his friends and teachers that he will tell. It will be amazing to see him grow even more into himself.
And, it will be FALL. Oh, how I love fall. I've always loved it. Can't wait.
I hope you're all dreaming of fall too. Crisp air, mulling spices, crunchy amber leaves. Sweatshirts. And, my old worn out, Birkenstocks...with argyles. :0)
Love to you all, from the happiest girl in the world.

blogging days
Oh how I wish I could blog for a living. I always seem to have something to babble on and on about. However, I'm HARDLY going to be able to do this with 4 followers (and 4 great and devoted followers you are!!) I read all these blogs with giveaways and moms that try things free if they review the product. I mean, come on now!! I have a nifty little netbook that I could carry around with me. Traveling, sipping my starbucks and blogging for the day and then living the life the rest of the time. What about the 4 years I spent in nursing school? Would I throw that all away to have a career as a fancy blogger? You bet your blogtails I would!
So, it appears that uh-oh was Sethie's first word. His second word is Mocha. Only, it sounds like "coke-a" when he says it. Adorable, I know. We won't talk about how he doesn't say MAMA. I mean, is Mocha really ALL that and some salt and peppa chips?! Obviously. She does have 2 more legs than I do.But still. Mom followers, you know what I'm getting at. It urks me. I'm ready for him to adoringly call me in the mornings from his crib. Or in the car, or the highchair. Wherever it may be, I'm ready for it. I mean, the kid is practically walking already!
Our house has had this nasty summer cold for the past week. I'm the last one to get it and feeling rather snotty today. (my bad) I mean, I'm glad I'm the last to get it but nothing makes you feel worse than a cold in the summer months. It's so hot it's hard to breathe anyways! In fact, my Lizzie's (bug) thermostat in the car was 102 today. That's Farenheit folks. So, it's doubley hard to breathe around here. Not to mention that my patients are all looking at me like I should be at home because my cough is so nasty.
I'm looking forward to the week off, but it's going to be busy.
Bloghugs!

Lizzie Dub
Well, SOMEbody finally got their little green bug! ME :0) And, like most VWs...she has a name. It's LIZZIE! I'm just loving her. She is a 5spd so she zips me here and there and everywhere. And, did I mention she's GREEN!!???
I'm so happy and thankful. Mostly, it'll be my work car. That way, Jay will have the baby mobile (element) at home incase he wants to do something during the day and won't be back in time for me to take the baby mobile to work.
I've gotten on the newbeetle.org website and am quickly meeting other geeks who love their dubs as much as I do!
I have to say that I wish it wasn't so darn hot around NC so that I could ride around with the windows down! But, right now I'm just rocking the AC.
On the home front, Seth appears to be cutting another tooth (this makes his 3rd). It's a big front one on the top. I'm hoping it will be in soon because he just fusses and fusses. The only thing that makes him feel better is eating more :) I mean, he is my kid after all right?! Haha. Parker will be starting school in September and I'm just so ready. I think he's going to love it. We went to the playground earlier in the week and there were kids there a little older than him but still probably preschool age and they were MEAN. They were hitting each other (Not Parker of course) and fighting. I was mortified. How do parents put up with that?! It's going to be bittersweet, for sure. He's been sharing his cars more and more and gotten better about napping. My favorite thing to do in the evening or morning when they are trying my nerves is to put them in the bathtub and watch them play. Seth finally loves the water and squeals and squeals.
Life is good. I'm a busy lady these days with requirements from work and working weekend nights and trying to keep the laundry done and dishes done. But, thank God for Jay. He usually knows what I need before I need it.
God bless my little 4 loyal readers.
Hope you are well!!

Thankful
So, we returned from Boca Raton early early in the morning Friday. For the first time in over 3 1/2 years I was able to soak my toes in the salty water, soak up a few sunbeams and inhale and EXHALE thankfully. Blissfully. It was so wonderful. The water was the bluest most clear thing...reminded me of my boys' eyes. What a treat to know and remember and cherish that in the stressful moments of my days and weeks and months, there are continuous waves forming and crashing and washing and cleansing and renewing. While I sat there, with my toes dainty and proper...I couldn't help but mutter a thank you to my personal inner God. To the thing that brought me all the good things in my life. To the power that moves me when I'm feeling part of the ocean. For, in those moments...I was renewed somehow. And, I KNEW it. I could feel it. And, oh that is why I love the ocean. It's ever-changing, ever waxing and waning. And, calm. God knew I needed it.
And, so here I am at work. Surrounded by wackos. (God bless them) and I can't help but wish my toes were in that water, that my hair was sandy and knotty from the breeze. How fortunate I am to have such a fresh memory in my mind of such a special time.
I'm telling you. When you find someone who loves you...who REALLY TRULY loves you...it takes you a LONG time to really understand that they do. And, the same person who made that ocean for me to enjoy, who made me powerless to it's calming effects, the same power that renews me when I am there....that same power brought Jay to me. Brought me to him. And, I've never NEVER felt so complete. So whole. So satisfied.
I felt compelled to write. I felt compelled to journal. To make run-on sentences straight from my soul. If I am ever diagnosed with some sad illness, some life-wrenching, tortuous diagnosis, it is @ the beach that I will long to be, with my toes in the sand, my boys, and the love of my life. ...because he renews me like the ocean. Each wave, strength.
Be inspired, be loved.

About Me
- Oak City Books
- Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
