    BMD:  Oh , I Love the dark chocolate peanut m&m's and I'm actually enjoying them as I type this!  With a glass of merlot but the drink you describe is right up my alley.  Sounds yummy!  Miss you too girlfriend.  (((()))))

    Good Morning Beach Beauties!

    I sure could use a serene beach today! I'm still exhausted and feeling pain in places I didn't know I had ... ugh a long car ride and lack of sleep I'm sure are the culprits for exacerbating every ache! The sun is so good for soothing my muscles though and the ocean soothes my soul.

    Soccer practice starts this evening! It's only 47 and sunny today but it could be worse. I'll be sure to bundle up!

    Having trouble with the video on my laptop.  I cannot post or see images on BCO!  Messed around this morning with it but cannot figure it out so I had to post using my desktop.  Taking me forever to do something I started hours ago!  Of course I'm taking care of Ava in between!  I hope everyone had a nice Easter. 

    Jasmine, that's a Great song!! I wonder why nobody sang that one on AI?

    Where is everybody? Still out hunting the eggs along the shore? Too many jelly beans? Sunning and forgot to check in?

    Since you've all been so wonderful to support me thru my DD's pregnancy, I thought you might like to see what a 5 foot 2 inch, (normally) 115 pound, blue eyed, 24 year old looks like at 34 weeks and one day....with twins!!

    We still need the rest of you to clock in for the baby poll. I wouldn't pick today (haha) cuz she seems pretty settled for the evening.

    In all sincerity: thank you for all of your well wishes & prayers. I can feel myself getting more "concerned" by the day. So keep those good vibrations coming. Will keep you posted.

    Hi beach bums!

    I have been away from the beach for WAY too long!  I'm ready to kick back with a fruity drink and relax!

    Casinogirl!   Glad to see you back at the beach.  Grab your favorite drink and wiggle your toes in the sand.  Are you guys getting any of the flooding in OK?

    You know, before chemo, I would think nothing of going to the store and getting a pint of chunky monkey.  After chemo, I know this to be a suicide mission and the next morning I will wake up with an extra 5 lbs.  I miss my chunky monkey ice cream.  :(

    Hi girls,

    Iris, I'm feeling a little better, at least no sore throat  Kristen did come down this weekend.  She was sick Sat. so she was at Kaiser while Ryan and I were at the extended hours clinic. Now it seems that Ryan has to see an orthopedic surgeon for his hand....figures it's his right hand.

    Hi BMD, glad you dropped by the beach.  Can I hav a vodka/cranberry and peanut m&m's, can I please?

    Char, how was soccer practice?

    Faith, she looks great.

    Jas, now I'm craving Cherry Garcia.

    DWTS is almost on so catch you all tomorrow night.

My boys were 3 weeks early, but they weighed 5lbs10 oz & 6lbs 10 oz. They will be 23 on May 1st. It as alot of work, but so much fun having twins. Best wishes to your daughter--enjoy those babies, they grow up too fast !!

    Barb, did your twins ever try switching identities to mess with people?

    When they were 2 my girlfriend wanted to take them camping for the week-end. Adam was always dressed in red, Brandon was dressed in blue. Thats the only way people could tell them apart. She got them ready for bed -Adam in red pjs and Brandon in blue---they got up in the morning and stripped down to their diapers and for the rest of the week-end she didn't know who was who !!! Other than that, they never tried that. Their personalities are like night and day.

    ***********Oh, Barb!! I wanted to congratulate you for learning how to "post" pictures.... as a fellow, new pic-poster, I know what a thrill it is to FINALLY figure it out. CONGRATULATIONS!! Did you follow Jaz' instructions? That's what got me to cross the hurdle.

    I'll be picking your brain for memories and suggestions once they get here. What's your choice for arrival date?

    Hi

    Just thought I'd take a quick stop in here to wish you all a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is a...you guessed it....a 9-9 day. Will get to read back and post.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Faith, your daughter is beautiful!  She looks Great! 

    Donna, I Love your new avatar!  Great to see you here and the image you posted is so inviting!  A fruity drink sounds great to me!

    Jasmine, Oooh, I like "Chubby Hubby" mmmmmmmm!  Since my oopherectomy everything I eat just adds more pounds!

    Margo, Soccer practice was great!  Sat in the car and watched because it was just too cold for me but it felt good to get out and watch Audrey being athletic!  That sucks about Ryan's hand!

    Peggy, it's so nice to see you here!  When is your grandbaby due?

    Barb, wow, I was 5lbs 4oz and my twin was 6lbs 5oz when we were born ... close to what your son's were!

    I had to have my son sit down and show me step by step----and I had to write it down, because I suffer from CRS ( can't remember sh*@? )



    I'm gonna say April 19. One suggestion is keep a feeding log !! I had to write down each time I fed them, because during the night, my ex and I would take turns feeding them. Ex got all nervous one night because the baby wouldn't t take his bottle-He was trying to feed the wrong baby !!! the one he was trying to feed just wanted his diaper changed---I had already fed him !!! I still have that notebook, It's fun to look back on.

    Hi to everyone!

    MB...so very sorry to hear of your mom's death. Thinking of you and your family.

    Angel...lovely pic of the angel down by the beach for us this evening. Those beverages look awesome! How did soccer practice go tonight?  Hope it was not too cold or windy there. Those beach bunnies were awesome-I knew they were cool and needed them larger to see the details! 

    Donna...beautiful beach scene!

    Jasmine...I just watched that news clip of the house hitting the bridge! WOW! That is amazing and reminds me when one of the NC bridges was damaged at the Outer Banks. That is unreal!

    Barb...funny abt the twin not eating. I bet that is neat to look back on when the twins were young. What a creative idea to see the changes and developments of the boys.

    susieloutoo and Peggy...nice to meet both of you! 

    Margo...glad that Kristen had the antibiotics and felt better before wkend was over. Hate being sick on a holiday/fam gathering. Thought I was headed that way today-doctorland...not yet as I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the bronch stuff that my mother had.Sorry to read that Ryan has to see an orthoped spec. Is that not the way of the past few wks? Sorry,not a springy upbeat thought. This wk will be better for all of us.

    candie-hope that your day goes well tomorrow even though it is a long one from 9-9. Maybe you can stop in on your lunch break tomorrow. I enjoy seeing your posts here.

    faithandfifty-your daughter is absolutely beautiful! WOW! Thank you for sharing the pics! I know how you and Barb feel as you describe posting the pics. I feel that same way! It is not the same when I am away from "bigscreenville"! LOL Going to your website now that I can see it! Yeah!

    Neesie-how did the Easter dinner go at your house? I am sure that it was lots of fun and everyone had a great time. You are finished with the snow,right? I am hoping that your answer is yes!!!Those beach bunnies are super! How cool!

    BMD-great to see you! M&Ms sound good anytime,anywhere,anyday,etc! I had my own bag of Choc eggs with Butterfinger chips! Yum,for real!

    I am celebrating as I have returned HOME!!! Hello,ET...I am phoning home!

    My mother had improved such that I was able to come back and check on bills and other things here. Thanks for allowing my posts from tutti-fruttiville! LOL

    Take care all of you Beach Buddies!

    Good morning Beach Ladies!  Rise and Shine!  its another gorgeous day here.  I finally got my lawn mowed yesterday.  Hard to believe that I've already had to start with the lawn mowing in March!

    Surprise song of the day!  Here's a song that asks an important life question for all of us.

    Me too, Barb.  I'm not a big beatles fan but they did have a few songs that I liked.  This is one of those songs that you can't get out of your head for the rest of the day.

    Good morning Beach Beauties 

    Well Crap, Audrey's school district teachers have been working without a contract since June and have been bargaining ferociously with the board on a contract they can agree to.  The last one the union was offered by the board was rejected within 3 minutes of receiving it and they presented notice of intent to Strike to the superintendant, beginning this Thursday!!!   

    Barb, hahaha I suffer from CRS myself .. it sucks!

    Iris, I know you're happy to be home!  Glad your mom is doing well enough for you to return there!

    Jasmine, I agree, love that song and it stays with you all day!
