Great idea Ash on the upside down tostada. It's always best to leave out the bread/chip part anyway. Its hard to do but it ends up tasting pretty good without right?

You are back and on a roll

I'm still sick but hopefully will be better by friday.

Talk to you later.

Hi lovebuggles. Happy Day!!! You two have my heart, you know that right? I am happy to report Stela is on the up and up. T, that is a nasty bug sweeping our area as well.......glad to see you back. Ash you and fitday, cant go wrong.

[Stelakate]

morning. still 177. busy girl this weekend, back with pictures, I feel like I have so very much to do before tomorrow. I get my hair done at 7am which is a very long day. Anyway, excited. Hope you two have a super weekend. love ya, gg

[cardenas5usa]

Hey girls, how are you both doing? It has been a nother busy end of the week! Happy Belated Valetine's Day!! You guys do anything fun? E and I finally took ourselves to the Cheesecake Facto the day before, since E worked late the day of. I had their Chicken Madiera, wow do they give lot's of potatoes, I didn't eat very much of them, just a few bites, and brought 2 huge scoops home to the kids. Then for dessert E and I shared a piece of carrot cake cheesecake.

So, today is cleaning day, I have the bathroom upstairs looking good and the kids are in their rooms stripping beds and picking up junk. Next is to finish up another load of laundry, and then downstairs. We had a lice scare this AM, the neighbor girl's mom came over and told me they found lice in her hair last night, GROSS. Maya sits with her on the bus sometimes so I had to go through Maya's hair, and that is a pain, she has sooooooooo much hair like I used to, enough for 3 people. Anyway, she doesn't have any so we're good.

Alright, I need some lunch too, gotta fit that in somewhere,lol.

See ya two later, HUGS Ash

[Stelakate]

hey girlies. the wedding was fabulous. wow I am a tired girl fo'sho now here - omg, should have taken another day off....so the wedding was GORGEOUS, I looked and felt amazing if I do say so myself, and I DO! It was depressing though, that new and fantastic journey they started and I am here in limbo land...but I am very happy for them, they will go all the way I know it...not that way... am guessing that didnt happen, Rachel was up the night before the wedding til 3 finishing details and slept just til 5am. The blanket I had monogrammed for her was BEAUTIFUL a chocolate brown with cream stitching of their date and monogram...beautiful.


SO, Aimee and I are still doing well, going along just fine.....Stela is over her illness, good thing Maya didn't have lice...what a pain that would be, oh the cheesecake factory...YUMMMMMO!

Miss you tootsies.

[Stelakate]

hi. got a new phone. They didnt know I dropped it in a puddle, but they were out of silver so I got this deep matte red, its cute. I didnt realize I can do a lot of stuff on this phone, I can download video of stela for my ringtone and have her laugh or whatever pop up when i have a text...its complicated, who knows if I will get around to it.

Alright just checking in. Miss you two.

[cardenas5usa]

I have been dreading coming in here cause I have been "gone" for so long, but it looks like we have been gone. I haven't been to the gym for almost a week with all the goings on here, GRIPE, but tonight I think we are going after the partners come and eat here, DOUBLE GRIPE! LOL, not that I don't like them, it is just that I have to do a ton of cleaning and organizing to be able to fit 2 extra adults and 3 extra kids on top of having Fofo and Caro over....sigh, anyway.

Jina the wedding sounds fantastic, so glad you looked and felt great! What an accomplishment, to actually feel good in a sexy little number like that, WTG. Limbo land, at least you have your family close and Aimee is back in the picture, that will make things more fun. Glad that Stel is all better. And a red phone, I like red phones, and that was luck that they didn't get all stuffy about you droping the old one in water.

T, dearest, I am sure you are feeling better by now but what's up? Are you doubting yourself that you can do this?? I know you can, and even if you aren't losing weight I don't want you to not come on in here. How is the doctor hunt, or is that on the back burner? How are the kids and R?

Well, talk to you two later, Ash

[carbjunkie]

Hi girls how are you?

I'm excited cuz my girls are here. J arrived Tues 12am and M came Wed at 9am and we were ready to play. We have their party on Sat night at the Angeleno hotel..you can look it up on the net. It is off the famous 405 freeway and about 5mi from my house. They are both here until Thurs next week.

I finally layered my hair yesterday. It came out nice so I am pleased with it. It is subtle just like I wanted it.

Well I hope you two have a good weekend. I'll try to peek in to see you. Monday night is girls night at another hotel - now that will be nice.

T.

[cardenas5usa]

So glad you stopped by girl, I know how busy life gets. I am so excited for you that the girls flew in to party!! I think it is exactly what you need, I am sure it will give you a boost.

How's it going Jina, good I hope! The weekend is promising here, sun and warmer weather.

Check ya later girls, Ash

[Stelakate]

woe, what has happened? Have we finally reached the ending here??? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you two so much!

[carbjunkie]

Well hello there!

I'm a free woman this morning and back to work. It was a week of awesome girl time and we had a blast until the very end. They will both miss our sunny skies.

Jina I can't wait to see more pics. I really do miss u too.

My dear Ash where are ya? I thought you'd at least peek in here.

XOXO
T.

[Stelakate]

Ash, two weeks...where are you? Hope all is well. T, glad you had fun with your girls....lets see a pic of this hair-do. Weekend was NICE! Out on Friday with girls and then a cookout on Sunday, it was probably 70 degrees yesterday, dusted off the screen porch and grill and had a party. Really good day. Anyway, I just popped in to say HEY! Miss you girlies.


LOVE YOU, Ash. COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carbjunkie]

Yeah..have to say Ash has never not peeked in.

Hi Jina...glad you had a nice weekend. We are in the high 70's too. It's back to business as usual.

T

[Stelakate]

well I am getting worried - will dig for ashleys # unless you have it T. When my phone dropped in the puddle I lost all my numbers.

How do you feel now that your girls have gone?

I am doing ok, depressed today, going to a counselor tomorrow....

[carbjunkie]

Hey G,

What's wrong? Looking from the outside in I would guess you are a bundle of happiness right now.

Yes, I miss them and yes you are right I needed that. I guess I really was bothered by it more than I realized.

I called Ash yesterday but she didn't call me back. I'll try again today.

Well..I hope you have a good day today. Let me know how the counselor session goes?

I am the big 42 on thurs so for my bday I want to see you Ash

T.

[cardenas5usa]

I decided to take a computer break...well, actually the computer was in use by others and I didn't feel like starting up the old one...anyway, I saw that things were becoming much lower key here so....

T, I did get your message and I was so bummed that I missed you, I had just left a few minutes before and didn't get home till way late. Thanx for calling though, so sweet of both of you to think of me so much.

Jina, do send more pics along. T, so glad you had a ton of fun with the girls.

My mom got here 2 days ago, so we have bee running all over, but we have been really trying to stick to good eats, and hitting the gym. She even brought healthy recipes to try out and we made a tiny birthday cake for my dad for his birthday. It looks like E is going to go out of town for a few days to get the Dalles place back up and running smooth. So I am going to be alone at the house with the kids for the first time ever, that'll be weird.

Well girls, I just got back from the gym, and now I gotta eat something.

Love, so glad to be back. Ash

[cardenas5usa]

Hello girls, I was just getting ready to head up to bed and wanted to drop in since I was online looking up recipes. Today was a fun day, we hung a lot on got our cook on, mom is taking Tinga to work potluck tomarrow. Then we sat and finally got to watch Michael Crywell, Cryton, Crywhatever the name of that movie was. it was good, strange but good. See ya laters, Ash

[Stelakate]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL MY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are your plans today? Ash, great to see you back!

[carbjunkie]

Hi girls,

Thanks Jina you are too sweet

R and I will spend the evening at the Viceroy hotel in Santa Monica on Sat night and have brunch there on Sun morning. It's nice..very sheek and the brunch area by the pool is awesome.

I will do the dinner thing with the fam tonight. I must say it is a beautiful day out..usually raining around this time. It's 80 today

Have a good one!

XOXO
T.

[cardenas5usa]

Happy Birthday to You!!

The big 42 ehh T!! Sounds like you have good plans to spend the night at that fancy hotel on Sat and fun Family dinner time tonight. Where you thinking of going, or are you just doing it at home. 80 degrees, I am jelous!! It has been sunny here but just into the 60s, what I wouldn't give to have it be 80. It is starting to feel like summer is just around the corner....need to keep on this good vibe path.

Jina, how you feeling? I have been feeling mood swings lately too, and I don't know if I can contribute it all to PMS. Does the sun make you feel better? you should fly somewhere to get some.

Well, I'll check ya later, Ash

[carbjunkie]

Nice to see you Ash, thanks for the bday wishes.

Originally I had planned to go to dinner with the fam but then I thought I'd rather go with R and make it a quiet one. I decided on Mortons and it was a lovely evening. I had salmon n spinach and the best overpriced chardonnay. It was cool because there was this wall where all kinds of famous people keep their wine/champagne. I saw Dr. Dre's...too cool...I thought to myself I want a cubby too

I hope you girls are having a great friday.

T.

[cardenas5usa]

Happy Sat!

Just hanging today, it is going to get quiet around here quick, mom is heading home. I made a schedule of calories and worked up all sorts of stuff and she is excited to just try what I have given her. I even worked in ice cream or chips into a diet plan that could work for her...so you can imagine how excited she was haha. We'll see but she really is doing well, and this week that she was here we really did make a big change of our M.O.

T, I love love love the new pic you have up, it looks like so much! And you saw Dr. Dre's wine cubby, so all those famous people have a dedicated cubby where the restaurant puts their choice of wine?...take off of the signed wall, very cool!

Jina, how are you this weekend? havin' fun I am sure! I need more fun in my life, like you and T.

See you two laters. You too D!
Ash

[carbjunkie]

I see your green lite Ash

Yes there is a wall of cabinets where famous peeps keep their stuff. It is really cool. Thanks for the compliment..we did have lots of fun..we had this old geezer stalking us and we had to call security

You do need to have more fun..you will..I remember when the kids were little it was alot harder to get some fun time in.

We are just cleaning up and getting ready to get out of here. It is a beautiful sunny and windy day here. It will be nice by the beach. I am ready for some play time...aren't I always?

Love you girls,
Terese

[Stelakate]

Hellllllllo ladies. I am so happy to see this room filled with my girls again, yay! T, how was running on the beach? I was in a hotel without my charger and after the second text it died. Wonh wonnh. I was totally telling my new friend all about you both though and how much I cant wait to meet you in real life.

Jena and I went to Michael Buble in Kansas City on Friday with her friend Lucas and my ex Brandy. It was ok, she is still very much wanting a relationship I am moving on....made for some awkward moments but that concert...OMG OMG OMG!!! I love that cutie pie. He sang "A song for you" at the end, without his band and NO microphone and I had friggin tears and goose bumps. His voice is the most pure I have EVER EVER heard. Amazing. Worth the $200 a ticket for sure. The hotel had the BEST FOOD EVER, omg..........lobster crepes for breakfast, seafood and wine, fresh breads and fruits...delic. We left saturday morning and I headed back to have a night with my new friend Jenny.

She is a sgt. in the Army and I am a smitten kitten for sure. She is much different than these other girls and the best thing is she doesn't do drama and SPOILS ME ROTTEN! She took me to this really nice hotel on sat. night a lodge, it was SO nice, she made us cocktails and bought my favorite wine....made a gourmet cheese and fruit platter for us, we had A LOT of fun all night long if you know what I mean. Yesterday we did brunch. She opens doors, pays for everything and makes me fe
