Was Winter cancelled?

You would think we would have snow by now but we havent. Not a dusting of snow or a drop of ice. Last year we got alot of ice. I could do without both but I just realized that its January and we havent even had a winter yet.
Watch, we will have a blizzard next week.

Day One

It officially started today. I was beginning to think that Day One would be in 2010
This morning I exercised and it almost killed me. Like laying on the floor, panting exercise. Oh my! In my defense we have hardwood floors throughout our house and they stay cool and I was HOT! lol I did the full body exercise on Outdoor Challenege and then I did the Endurance Exercises. The Endurance was a bit too much so now I know not to rush into that area. I will stick with the beginning stages.

I meal planned and grocery shopped today. We stocked up on some extra food to put in our new freezer.

We also went to my brother's surprise birthday party. I was a little worried about all the food but as of 10:30 tonight I am still way under calorie for the day. I even ate cake!

I feel really good today. Now if I can just get around to actually writing/typing my resolutions/goals before 2010........

Diets.......

I'm not very good at them. Until the past year I have been able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it. Even after I had my dd, I bounced right back into the same size I was beforehand and I had gained 50lbs during pregnancy. Now? Ha! I got married, got lazy and began to love food. What's not to love about Oreo Cakesters? I honestly did not know how hard it was for people to lose weight. I am going to give it an honest try but there will be much complaining and whining in my blog posts. Just warning you. I like food. I feel deprived if I cant eat whatever I want. I quit smoking almost a year ago and now I have to quit eating too. This being a grown up stuff sucks. blech.
I thought yesterday was going to be day one but then we went to the In-Laws and had oysters and fish......oh and a little pie for dessert. That was too much for me to try and remember to add to my online food list so I skipped it. So that made today Day One. I didnt have anything to bring for lunch today, due to going to the In-Laws for dinner and no leftovers, so I stopped and got a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. They had a buy one get one deal so I did that, being the frugal girl I am. One for breakfast and one for lunch. Oh and a sweet tea. Uh yeah, thats alot of calories. I would have never guessed that one biscuit was almost 600 EFFIN calories. Oh my! Now I know. So its only lunch time and I am like 400 over my daily calorie intake.
Tomorrow may have to be Day One. *sigh*

Angel Food Ministries

Alot of people dont know about this awesome service so I thought I would share. It's called Angel Food Ministries and each month you can buy a box of food for $30, plus you can get additional boxes of meat or fruits and vegetables. There is no income limits, anyone can get order as long as you have a place to pick up in your local area. I havent actually ordered yet but I think about it quite often. 2 of our girls (and myself) are super picky so alot of the foods we wouldnt eat.

Another Tooth Fairy Visit

this time I made it happen! Jenna was eating lunch on Saturday and her loose tooth was bothering her. It was clear that it was ready to come out. Daddy tried to pull it but his fingers were too big. I got a tissue, touched it once, twisted it once and it was in my hand. She was in shock! lol
To most people this isnt very important but it makes me feel really special. Her mom pulled her first tooth and I pulled her second. That just makes me all warm and fuzzy!

Stupid People

I have a co-worker who I used to have a lot in common with. Then she turned into a skanky liar. She met a man, the Shredder Guy, and it all went downhill from there. She left her husband, scams an internet bulletin board to give her xmas gifts......even though she has money to go out to lunch every day and buy cigs.....and she lies about everything. I cant even stand the sight of her anymore. Everyone has seen her with the Shredder Guy yet when I asked her about it she lied right to my face. I havent liked her since. She is a weak loser. Its just sad to think you know someone and then you reallllly dont.

My first Xmas gift

my mom brought our xmas gift to us last night! She got us a freezer and meat to go in it. Im so domestic! This really excites me to be able to make casseroles and stuff that can be frozen and then just pull out of the freezer. I really feel bad about the price of this gift but she wouldnt take no for an answer.

I love sleep!!

I am sleepy. The funny thing is that I wasn't sleepy until someone told me that I looked tired today. BAM, sleepy! I'm a hypochondriac like that. You mention the flu and I start to feel nauseous. Back to sleep..... Ive always loved sleep. When I was young my bff and I would party all night and then sleep all day. We were sleeping soul mates, she loved it just as much as me. We aren't friends anymore because she does drugs to stay awake. She took it to the extreme huh? lol I haven't found a new sleeping soul mate yet. The Husband is not an avid sleeper.

Communication

This word is very important in marriages. Today The Husband and I are not communicating well. I told him something and he said I didnt. This happens quite alot. Am I crazy or is he? That is the important question that we dont know the answer to. I am racking my brain trying to remember the whole conversation to have some proof that I did tell him. I tried one bit and he still thinks I didnt tell him. Doesnt he know that his job is to always agree with me? I havent trained him very well at all. sigh.
