And the prize is......

Its a trip to fabulous Las Vegas!! I'm so excited! I didn't actually win it, and I probably dont deserve it for any particlar reason, but we booked it yesterday. Mark is the best, he loves to do spur of the moment quickie trips and this was perfect. How can you pass up 50 bucks for a night at Excalibur??? Nope, ya can't. We dont' really gamble in vegas, we go to eat. Well, let me rephrase, Mark goes to eat, I tag along and eat some stuff too. We have been known to spend 2+ hours at a good buffet. This time around it will be seafood. YUMMO! I'm just hoping I get a chance to wear my awesome lepoard print pumps with a peep toe. They are HOT. I'm working hard to fit into the jeans that go with them. I'm just excited that I get to go somewhere, even if its only for 36 hours. Anyway, we are going Monday morning till tuesday night, thats what Mark has off so it works perfect for a cheap trip. Between today and tomorrow I will have earned all the money for the trip by doing hair...go ME!!

I went to spinning again today, it was pretty good. Eating was so-so, I threw together a spur-of-the-moment "WOO HOO LAST DAY OF SCHOOL" party for the kids and a couple of their friends. We had some junk food (stuff I never buy) and I had a little, but nothing horrible. I was too busy doing hair to really eat.

Anyhow, school is out, hopefully I won't kill any children over the next 2 months. The gym is gonna save me!!!

I've been hacked

Well this sucks the big one. My bank card has beeen compromised AGAIN. This is the 3rd time in 4 months. I've gotten new cards, new accounts, but someone keeps doing it. Obviously someone has me flagged as a target and is going to hack into anything I have, so that sucks. I just hope its not someone I know. It just too much in a short period of time for it not to be someone who knows me. But then I think....OK If they knew me they would know I have no money...so why bother?? Steal from someone who actually has something to steal, ya know? I got a couple of credit card application rejection notices in the mail, that I didn't apply for, so I'm sure my whole identity is stolen if they are doing that too. I know it all has to be stemming from losing that stupid folder with all my important papers in it. I really think someone came in the house and stole it. They have my ss# (and of the kids, too, but not Marks, his is here thank goodness)so I have to do checks into all of us. I realized it was missing right about the time my account got hacked the first time. I'm not sure how you make a connection to the SS cards and my checkcard, though. Thats where I think its someone who knows me. Especially since I've changed cards 3 times and it keeps happening. I would think it would be my online banking, but that really dosen't connect to my actual card. Its so wierd. I don't buy anything online, and this new card has a whole new account, and I haven't even had it long enough to pay bills with or anything, and it still got used by someone else. The whole thing is so frustrating.

Solution: Old school. No bank account, the few things I have to do through the bank Mark will take over, and I'm going cash only. If someone wants to steal my money they will have to do it the old fashioned way and pry it out of my fists. I'm really pissed because it is so convenient to do bill pay and paymnts over the phone, but I have to go back to the old way I guess. Does anyone have any advice, who has been through this before? It sure sucks.

Fitness update

I'm trying to get back in the groove here. It seems like I've avoided blogging about any fitness stuff because I haven't been doing very well. Well, I haven't. Life has been really crazy though and I do need to be a mom first. OK thats sort of an excuse but now its gonna be summer vacation so I will have LOTS of time on my hands. Also, I just found out that my gym is starting a new dance class on thrusday nights. Its a fusion of hip hop, 80's, african, pop, etc. and I am SO FREAKIN EXCITED~!! It will be starting in 3 or 4 weeks, the teachers are training for it right now. Can I get a collective YEAH BABY!!! I'm SURE that my buddies Jill and Maddy will be there with me....right????? :D ANyway, I did a good spinning class yesterday and then my friend Kristi came over today and we did a Turbo Jam DVD. It was fun. I'm usually pretty bad about working out at home, but I couldn't go to the gym because I was babysitting so it was good. I have to somehow figure out HOW I am gonna start eating on plan again. HOW???? HOW??? I can not continue to subject other people at the pool to my nasty fat body, and I must go to the pool, so I guess I gotta change the body. Its amazing how cottage cheesy I get when I eat bad. It only takes a few weeks of eating good and drinking my water for more than half of the lumpiness to go away. Its wierd. I have to admit it is inspiring to see some of the other fit moms. I can do this!! I do still have some upper body muscle, its just the lower pudge. I at least have to trim off some sludge before my sisters wedding. Hmmmm. I suddenly have the urge to go thaw out some chicken breasts. :D

OH yeah.........and last night started my all time favoriteist favorite show....So You Think You can Dance!!!



This made me cry the first time I watched it....and I havent' seen it in a few months so um yep I was cryin again. PLEASE tell me this season could be as awesome as last season, because I can't even imagine that. I love this clip because it is of Benji and his cousin Heidi (who are members of our church in CA) and it is the firsrt time the judges/producers are seeing these 2 dance together. In fact Benji is doing a last chance audition here because they arent sure if they should cut him from the show or not. HA! He showed them, huh??


Well I guess I have to stop procrastinating my mopping and get busy. Dang.

I've been tagged

SO ...the rules are..
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!


Here are 7 little known facts about me: read on if you dare ;D

1. I'm really lazy when it comes to stuff I don't want to do. I mean...REALLY LAZY

2. I love it when Mark calls me Franchesca(I know there is a cooler way to spell it...but I can't remember it)

3. I'm (normally) an awesome speller...I can spell anything (except Franchesca :P)

4. I have horrible spider veins on my legs and I've always been worried that I would develop varicose veins. So far, it hasn't gotten too bad, which is wierd considering all my pregnancies. If I had the $$ I'd get everything lasered.

5. I have never once bought bath towels.

6. I love being my mom's right hand girl for my sisters wedding. Its fun. But I'm a total daddy's girl too. That can be tricky sometimes.

7. I am not an animal lover. Dogs are gross,cats are annoying, and nothing else has enough personality to be interesting. Its just more mess to clean up after and be responsible for. I would never have a pet as my "child". Even if I didn't have any of my own kids, I'd still never get a pet. I think its great for other people, I applaud you.The pets need someone to take care of them. Its just not for me.
