I've Officially Lost It

Some days I think I have gone crazy. I am starting to believe that having a baby makes you lose all sanity. One day last fall I got an email from my cousin, she was getting married in April 2010. And then without really thinking about it (I may have run the idea past my hubby but I can't quite recall) I emailed her back and told her I would make her wedding cake. I guess I thought she would say oh no don't worry about it but no she went on to tell me what kind of cake and icing they wanted. Heart shaped, blue, and 150 people were all things that I was told...ahhhhh. What was I thinking??

Then somehow I managed to agree to run in a 5K with my brother in June. My 30th birthday is this year and my hubby has been planning away. So (I think to get my rear-end moving) my brother said that he would help celebrate only if I ran in this 5K with him. It's the same race that I ran with him 4 years ago. That was the last race I ran in before I pretty much gave up running. But here I am trying again. It's going to be a slow start but at least I have a few months before the big day.

Despite my craziness there are some things that remain the same. My wonderful husband who supports me no matter what I choose to do. My cuddly beagles that love me no matter what I say. And my baby boy who makes me the happiest mommy in the world.

Red or Blonde

I have been thinking about what color to keep my hair. I was blonde (very blonde) as a child and didn't color my hair until after high school. Then I went on my red kick but I didn't have the guts to dye it really red until my wedding. I loved my hair color at my wedding, but some times I would love for it to be blonde again. Hmmm...this is a tough one. Right now I would say it is a brassy blonde, which I am not fond of so I need to make a decision soon. I put pictures of me as a red head and then as a little blondie (that's my cousin and brother in the pic too.)





Any thoughts??

Where Have You Been??

Wow....I feel like I fell off the face of the Earth with my blogging. I have that lingering feeling of not talking to a good friend in months.....that's what my lack of blogging has done. I know several times I told my hubby that I need to get on the computer and blog. The first week I was Super Busy at work, we finished painting our kitchen and just seemed to be occupied with other things. I have been off of work since this past Monday afternoon and it has been wonderful. I have spent such memorable and cherished moments with Scott and Bill. We took a trip while Bill did some consulting work, went shopping and spent time with our families. We were able to find time to take boxes down to the basement and start getting our Christmas items out.

Thanksgiving was not only delightful and wonderfully delicious. We gathered at my brother's home for some yummy food and bonding time which included playing Big Game Hunter and some odd rabbit game on Wii. My mom was able to stay until today and was able to see Scott during his swim class. I am so thankful for my family and the time that I get to spend with them. It has been such a blessing to be able to hang out with my baby and my husband. I must say though...I am back and my blogging will be as well.

Weighing In

I was dreading my weigh-in today at Weight Watchers. Absolutely fearing it......I hadn't eaten particularly well and I am completely off on my exercising. For goodness sakes I had Long John Silver's fish, chicken and shrimp the other night so I knew it would not be good (sometimes get those odd cravings.)

I walked down the stairs with two of my co-workers to the classroom for our meeting. We were the first ones there and I got to be the first one on the scale. Harry, our WW leader, was set up and ready to go. I stepped on and waited and waited and waited some more....he had started to fill out the wrong form. I just knew it had to be bad. He handed my booklet back and I had lost 1 pound!!!! I seriously thought he must have been joking but I wasn't going to second guess the almighty Weight Watcher's scale.

Needless to say I am in a much happier mood and I am more dedicated to making this upcoming week a better one. This means no Long John Silver's. I started two days ago ensuring that I am getting enough water especially while I am at work. I tend to sit at my desk and not get up to refill my water bottle which leaves me tired and parched.

After seven weeks of attending meetings, I have lost 7.2 lbs. I couldn't be more thrilled as this baby weight needs to go!!!

A New Week

So I must say that last week life got in the way. While I was able to keep up on my shredding challenge until last Thursday, I have been at a stand still since. Between the crazies at work, the crazies in town and every other small thing that floated in my life I felt overwhelmed and tired. I wasn't able to keep up on my blogging either. So in order to make sure I keep my promise to do the 30 day challenge....I am starting over tomorrow. I will be a week behind the other ladies but I am going to do it. I also have several blogs to post. Yes, this week will be a new one, a great one, and I can't wait.

PS...we were able to get one of our cars in the garage tonight!!!
