Surprise!

I finally got my hands on a working copy of Cute FTP. It was nice to find out that the crack I have for Cute FTP Pro 3.0 works for Cute FTP Professional 6.0. I’ve spent the past nine hours completely revamping KMK. Goodbye skins, hello dynamic includes! There’s still a few minor quirks I need to work out with the blog, but it’s no big deal. Chances are, nobody will even notice anything. But of course, if you do, please let me know. :nod: Thanks!

This afternoon I found out that I can spray milk. How did I find out? In typical way-to-go-Jenn-you’re-a-dumbass! fashion. While “stimulating” my nipples to encourage “let-down” (when the milk comes out), I accidentally squirted myself in the face. :haha: After laughing hysterically for a few moments I went after Daniel and sprayed him. He kept saying, “Ew!”, which of course enticed me to spray him a few more times. Then he playfully scolded me for wasting Alyssa’s dinner, so I went back and placated her. :cheeky:

This Christmas is going to be really nice for all of us. My mother finally got the approval for SSI/disability (she has a broken foot that never healed, neuropathy in both feet and hands, carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, had surgery on the one hand, has special shoes, is on medications such as vicodin, percoset, etc., and let’s not forget that she has two special needs children), so around the first week of January she’ll be getting a huge lump sum (around $5000+), and after that monthly payments. So we’ll have two Christmases: one on the 25th with the few presents she has for the boys, along with the gifts Daniel and I will be getting her and the boys, and then the big sha-bang in January.

My mother asked me what I want for Christmas, and I told her an exercise bike. Of course, there are other pricey things on my list:
Monitor (21 inch, but it doesn’t need to be a flat panel display, just a regular CRT will do!)
Newer, snazzy cell phone (I’ll buy myself one in a few weeks with one of my paychecks)
Printer (I finally managed to get my current $300 HP one to work, though it’s still a bit finicky :irked:)
Wacom graphics tablet (I’ve been wanting one for several years!) – Daniel is getting me this. :heart:

However, an exercise bike is something I can really benefit from. For the past few days I’ve been taking walks outside, although I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to do that for, as it’s starting to get really cold and I don’t want to get Alyssa sick. Since the other day I’ve been doing three sets of ten sit-ups per day. Thanks to Alyssa I have this droopy stomach roll that I didn’t have before I was pregnant with her. :eyeroll: I need to get rid of that thing pronto! In addition to walking/doing sit-ups, I’m trying to be really strict with what I eat, and when I eat. For instance, yesterday:
Breakfast: 1 cup of cream of rice
Lunch: tomato soup
Dinner: “trash”, which is a concoction of ramen noodles, vegetables and ground beef
Dessert: Unsweetened and unflavored applesauce

Today:
Breakfast: 1 cup of wheaties with 1/2 cup of 1% milk
Lunch: Half of a can of clam chowder soup, some unsalted crackers
Dinner: a slice of lean roast beef, small side of unbuttered and unsalted potatoes that were cooked with the roast beef (yay for my crockpot! :yummy:)
Dessert: Three chocolate chip cookies. I had made two dozen, and decided to put off temptation by sending all of them home with my brothers.

So, between watching my diet (which I have to anyway, since I’m breastfeeding Alyssa) and exercising (I can’t wait for this bike!), I should be doing well. :)

    I like your new holiday layout. It’s nice and simple. I just took mine down cause I got tired of it. Heh. That’s great that your mom is getting her check finally. My mother is suppose to get a big check this feburary from back child-support which is a couple thousand. So yeah I can understand the joy. :laugh:

    That droppy stomach thing will never go away no matter how hard you try. Its extra skin…its there to stay. I have it as well, and no matter how much weight i lose or working out i do, it never goes away.

  11. Kelley wrote on #

    Aww.. I love this layout!

  12. Ally wrote on #

    I’ve also got that loose skin… I guess it’s just one of those things ya gotta deal with after pregnancy. From what I’ve read, there’s little you can do to get rid of it, but since we’re pretty young it can gain back elasticity… so for us it’s not so bad. *crosses fingers* :haha:

    Like the new layout.. :D
    Reminds me of my weblog one a bit (I’m not trying to suggest anything with that comment, before anyone jumps on my ass)..

    Merry Christmas to you & your family.

    :laugh: Squirting milk.. sounds fun.

    Thank you!! I’ve had working out and eating better on my mind lately and you just gave me more motivation :)

  17. Chelsea wrote on #

    You might not know Seduced is down : :whimper:

  18. Mmmm, love the new layout, it looks fabulous! Yay for dynamic includes :D.

    I’ve had 6.0 for awhile, you could download it from.. illregular.com.. that’s where I got mine, anyway. I don’t notice a HUGE difference, anyway, but it’s nice to have something thats more up-to-date! :)

    By the way, the background on your comments page isn’t static and scrolls away =X

  20. Michelle wrote on #

    Ooh, it saved my name, e-mail, and URL to comment! I’m excited!

    I really like this layout, Jenn!

  21. Janet wrote on #

    I love the new look. :)

    I’m glad your mom finally got approved for SSI/disability. From the way you’ve described her problems, it sounds like she definitely needs to be on it. It’s also really cool that you guys will be able to celebrate Christmas again in January because of the lump sum.

    Ramyun noodles, “TRASH”?! :shock: You have to be kidding me. I live on that stuff.

    I’m probably eating a different kind from you though. Mine’s called “sah-bahl-myun” (as pronounced in korean) i have no idea what they call in english. they’ve totally distorted the real name for ramen, it’s actually pronounced “rah-myun” :D anyways. getting off on a tangent here..

    the layouts looking kind of funky :/ the side bar is much much wider than i think you want it to be. i’m not sure.

  23. Sue wrote on #

    hehe, sorry. i put the wrong URL in my last comment. :dammit:

    ROFL! OMG… that is hilarious. I have to admit *blushes* I did that to when I had Angel. Though Luis was not grossed out. I guess he was a guy fascinated with things that shot out far…especially liquids…Mexican men…rofl ;)

    Sometimes you will want to do that, but I tell you, when it comes out that easily, throw aside the pump and hand pump your breats into a bottle. Works…do not squeeze hard though…

    lol….

    Right now you are breast feeding, so if you diet, you are paying the price, and Alyssa will suck it out of you about 500 calories worth a day.

    So, drink plenty of milk (as your bones are still weak after giving birth….you lose a percentage of bone strength while pregant), some breads or preferrably pastas, vegetables, fruit juice, fruits, and more. It is the junk food you need to stay away from and fried foods. Something about fried foods does not sit well in breast milk for a baby.

    I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has tested breast milk shooting…rofl! ;)

  25. Krissy wrote on #

    The new layout looks wonderful. The only errors I found were blog related (This pop up as well as the archives page) but I’m sure you already knew that. Shooting milk must be loads of fun, especially when you’re freaking out a man in the process :hehe:. I wish you luck with getting rid of that pesky tummy, I’ve been working on that myself – so far so good, lost 3 pounds :go me!: — yep, the loser shall leave now. Merry Christmas.

    This layout is so cool and I like the new “navigation” ! Hehe, the spraying thing reminds me of something i saw on the Frank Skinner show *hides*

  27. Anneli wrote on #

    Ahaha, I can just picture you walking around squirting milk! :haha:

  28. Jennifer wrote on #

    good luck losing the baby belly. :) it’s been almost 2 years after I had my daughter, and I’ve still got it. although I could only breast feed for a month, and didn’t even try losing weight. I’m just now starting to diet.
    But I’ve lost 4 lbs in a week, so hopefully I can stick to it :P

    Good Luck again!

  29. Scott wrote on #

    Good luck losing weight. :) I like the new setup, though you need to change my name back to “Scott” in your links. I’m not Ricky. :P

  30. Wow that doesn’t sound like very much food but if you are full, that’s good. I used to make a similar “TRASH” dinner myself with ramen noodles, frozen veggies and chicken. I used to add a pack of sazon to make it taste better but that has msg in it and I’m not so sure if that is good for a baby if it gets into your breast milk.

  31. nicole wrote on #

    oh my gosh that milk spraying sent me into a huge fit of laughter. When I have a baby, I MUST try that. :haha:

    I want a wacom tablet tooOO! ;) You must draw us prettyful things when you get yours! :heart:

  32. Chelsea wrote on #

    Hey Jen.. Seduced’s definitely down.

  33. Whitney wrote on #

    Aww, cute. This layout made me smile. ^_^
    Good luck with your dieting, too. Trying to lose weight can be so hard. >_< We’re in the same boat there, so if you ever need somebody to gripe to… :highfive:

  34. Joelle wrote on #

    Go Jenn! The new layout looks fantastic. I was surprised when the comments page popped up! You really did a fantastic job. :highfive:
    Milk squirting? I don’t think i’m ready for this, funny, yet.. in an insane way.
    (We want more pictures of beautiful Alyssa :))

    :haha: @ milk incident.

    Oooh. A Wacom tablet, I’m jealous.

  36. amy wrote on #

    ROF @ the milk. It’s something I sooo would have done had I not dried myself out. Love the new layout. When I first saw you wanted a waccom tablet, I was like hey, I can sell ya’ll mine! But someday I’d like to actually use it again lol. Good luck with the excercise and all! I’ve BEEN meaning to start taking walks with Abby, right now I’m scared of the cold weather….

  37. I love the new layout; it’s very cute!

    Congrats to your mom! Our office does disability exams and I can’t believe some of the people who are denied or fall through the cracks of the system. Good for her!

  38. Jo wrote on #

    an exercise bike would be good for me too…. or a treadmill. lol. I need to lose this baby weight.

  39. Jamie wrote on #

    I cannot figure out CuteFTP to save my life! I’m used to using Dreamweaver. Hope Alyssa is doing ok! :)
