Introducing...

DJ Fatty Fat

Portly Pioneer

Jilly Jelly Roll

Hermelinda Linda

I, along with three of my good friends, decided that it was TIME to lose some weight!

YAY US!

So - Operation Fatty HAS BEGUN!

We've jumped on the Weight Watchers train and are PUMPED!

To put a little silly factor in, we have all decided on "Fatty" names.

Once we are new and improved skinny goddesses, we'll get new names!

Drum Roll....

Me - I'm DJ Fatty Fat.

Our leader is Portly Pioneer.

From Jersey, we have Jilly Jelly Roll!

And last, but not least, our spicy Chilean is Hermelinda Linda.

So far, so good!

Portly Pioneer and Jilly Jell Roll are a week in and doing great!

Myself and Hermelinda Linda are 5 days in and ROCKIN' it!

We had bunco last night and still managed to stay on track.

Now THAT is impressive!

Of course, throwing in a P90X session helped with some extra points!

We know it's not going to easy, and there will certainly be times we will stray from the path of the skinny, BUT here we go!!

SUCCESS!

Eldest Chicklet is home from her first semester of college!

It's nice to have her home for an extended period of time.

Also, nice...it seems her first semester was a SUCCESS!

She's still waiting on a few grades, but....

She has a very good chance of being on the Dean's List!

WOOHOO!

Love her

She's not the other two.

Britt is the oldest.

She's smart. She's loving. She's gorgeous.

Tripp is the middle.

He's an xBox addict. He's a gifted athlete. He has a tender heart.

She's my baby.

She's adorable.

She has an amazing sense of humor.

She sings "She wears short shirts; I wear t-shirts" and "God is great, beer is good and people are crazy" with all her heart.

She's Kaley.

Vampires Galore

I LOVE me some True Blood.

Especially the delightfully delicious Eric Northman!

BUT.....

I don't like the way the TV series is deviating from the Sookie Stackhouse books.

I understand that there has to be some artistic leeway and some change.

However, this season was WAY different than the third book.

Come on, people!!

Give us some YUM while still following the book!!

Beach...AHHHH

Last weekend Pumpkin and I went to the beach for the first time WITHOUT kids since our honeymoon.

It was DIVINE!

We went with 15 other adults.

Many laughs, gobs of great food, lots of beer, tons of beach time.

Ahhhhh....

So when can we go BACK?!?!

Labor Day Weekend

MANY thanks to our FABULOUS friends, the Danas, for having us for the weekend!

We had a great time at the lake!

Watched some football, drank beer, rode in the boat, drank beer, watched kids bounce off the trampoline "a la Wipeout," drank beer, played on the jetski, drank beer, ate, drank beer...

Pattern anyone?

Baby Chicklet loved EVERYTHING about the lake!


Pumpkin and the Middle Chicklet enjoyed some dusk fishing.


Of course, we missed our Eldest Chicklet, but she was busy ringing in the new football season as as college freshman!

We couldn't have had a better kick off to fall!
