Here I am!!

OOps, I think I missed my every day for 30 days post! I think I need to start it ALL over again. I just got so busy.....yeah right, it only takes 2 minutes to post so I have no excuse. :)

Well, I started the 6 week body makeover the other day. I was going to start last Thursday morning, but that was the day after Jason's birthday and we still had a lot of yummy home-made strawberry cake. I did okay with not eating that all day, but then came the planned dinner and I just couldn't take it. It was spaghetti and anyone who knows me knows that spaghetti is my favorite meal. So, after eating good for breakfast, lunch, and snacks, I finally caved in and decided to start the diet on Monday because everyone knows that's when you start a diet. Then I allowed myself to have cake and spaghetti. Kind of a last harrah.

Now it's going along good. I have lost 5 pounds since Tuesday so that's great!

Jason is taking the kids camping with the cub scouts this weekend. They should have so much fun and I really wish I could go to. They are going to Gulf Shores. Oh, and my dad is going with them :) Also, my mom will be here with me and we will be working on some sewing projects that I have to finish up! (sorry I haven't sent it yet Kim, the week has been so full, but I promise it will be mailed out first thing Monday morning!!!) Is it bad that I'm looking foreward to that camping trip? I love love love my family but it will be nice to have a quieter house the next couple of days.

Anyways, I have to get to work and make my breakfast (1 bowl of oatmeal with splenda, 1/2 banana, 2 hard-boiled eggs with the yolk taken out).

Starting the 6 Week Body Makeover

Well, my mom got the the Michael Thurman's weight-loss system. Supposedly you can lose 30 pounds in 6 weeks if you follow the program and I will. I was going to post some before pictures but this blog is open to the world and I don't want anyone to see me in my before pictures as I'm only wearing shorts and a bra. I will post them on a more private forum tomorrow. I'm sure it will be the most embarassing thing I have done. But that's why I'm doing it, so I don't have to be embarassed any more.

Six weeks, here I come! :) I went and got some smaller clothes at JC Pennies and I WILL fit in to them!

Okay, I'm out-

Thinking of crafts..

KIM- My payday is Wednesday and then I will get some fabric for the apron! I'm looking foreward to making it :)

So, I was thinking about ways to get money for Christmas and my "pay off my credit cards" fund. We do have a flea market out here and we are fastly approaching the "season." I was thinking of opening a little booth and selling some things but I have NO IDEA what I would sell. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Here are some thoughts I had:
1- I could make little and big aprons and little chef hats for the kids. I just think that would be cute you know?
2- The shopping cart covers?, maybe.

I'm thinking and racking my brain trying to figure out something I can make for cheap and then sell for a little profit. Anything that would help during Christmas time would be awesome. Please give me some ideas okay? ......did I say please? :) :)

Testing

Testing, so see if the strike thingy worked...

Trying to get in a better mood,

I'm just in a bad mood today, yesterday, the day before, you get the picture. What the heck is my problem? Actually, I KNOW what my problem is.

I just don't know what to do about it.

UGH, I guess I'll go back to work, wahooh. (catch my enthusiasm)

I'm a cheater and I know it..

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm the kind of person who reads a mystery book, gets about 3 chapters in, and reads the last page. I do go on and read the whole book though. I just like not having the stress of worrying about "who did it." :)

Does anyone sing along with the radio...

when you are driving? Do you sing loud, or pick up random things and use them as a microphone? I do, a lot.

Mystery solved

When I was in college I drove a Geo Tracker. A purple Geo Tracker. Super cool (hahaha)
Well, after my first semester my parents flew down to drive home with me. (We were moving from AZ to TN, and I was going to school in FL) SO, out of town we are driving and we have this thing PACKED, I mean, I am squished in the back of the car without any leg room. It's a good thing I'm not claustrophobic!

My dad was driving, my mom was in the front, and I was squished in the back. We are almost out of town sitting at a red light and all of a sudden *someone* opens the passenger side door. My mom screams because she had been resting her head on the door and someone just comes and opens the door. Well, just as fast as it opened, it closed again and I couldn't see who it was. We were like, "Who in the heck could that have been?" I probably would have known, but the back was so packed, I couldn't even look out the window. So I guess it would stay a mystery. We laughed and laughed about that the whole way home..

Fast foreward 1 1/2 years. I'm in school just hanging out with a guy named Bob. He was also a student at my college ****Southeastern College, Lakeland FL****. We were talking and he was like "Hey, remember the time I walked up to your car, opened the door and was going to get in the car with you?" Ummmmm, NO, I don't remember that! It took me a second but then I remembered back to the time something strange had happened at a red light.

Mystery solved, It was him! He said he saw my car and he knew it was me. Not everyone had a purple geo tracker. He was going to get in the car with me and ride until the next red light and then get out again, just to be funny. So 1 1/2 years later the mystery got solved. The thing is, I didn't even really know Bob when that had happened. I had maybe said 1 or 2 words to him. Still funny though.

LABOR day

Well, actually did a lot of Labor today! I cleaned our downstairs, which has become a makeshift storage room. There were so many things in there, I can't believe I got it looking as good as it is. It isn't perfect yet, and neither is the rest of the house, but I like it down there much more. Now all we need to do is lay down the new flooring. And when I say WE, what I really mean is my DEAR HUSBAND :) Too bad he doesn't read this, maybe he could get the hint! Haha.

So anywyas, the kids were out of school today and it's been nice. They have played together outside and inside. Jaylin is napping right now, although I'll be waking her up soon.

Tonight I think I'll just work and then be lazy...more to post later :)
