TGIF!!!

Thank Goodness it's Friday!!!  This has been a long week.  I had a great day at work, but was quickly becomming irritated toward the end of the day.  So...my hubby...who knows me (and I love that he knows me so well!)...took me on a chocolate run to town. haha.  And you know what?  It worked!  Whoever said Chocolate doesn't have healing powers is stoopid. haha.  It does for me anyways.  One kit-kat bar later and I am feeling good again.  I have big plans this weekend.  Cleaning, baking cookies, making some Irish Soda Bread, and maybe working some on the guest room.  I am feeling productive as of now and have for the past few days so lets hope it holds up. 

These posts are so boring to read I am sure haha. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ahhhh.  I had such a fun filled weekend.  Saturday I baked and decorated sugar cookies with my momma and gramma, then went to H-ville with my friend to do some fun shopping.  Sunday I laid around and did basically nothing with Jay.  Monday I had off of work and it was lovely.  I slept in, woke up and found a love letter that my hubbly had written to me, so I read that and bawled.  We then went to town to take the garbage in and get something to eat, and met some friends at the restaurant and ended up joining them for lunch.  It was good to catch up with them even though it had only been like a week since we had hung out haha.  (A lot can happen in a week, you know!)    Then I came home and baked some cupcakes, got them decorated and started on a romantic dinner for two.  We cooked together and made Spaghetti and meatballs.  We set the table all fancy and drank milk out of our wine classes. (because we're classy like that)  Then we finished off the day with a silly movie while we snuggled on the sofa with Dakota.  I will take a Valentine's Day like that any day over waiting in line at a crowded restaurant!  I love my husband so stinking much, I can't even put into words how special he is to me.  LOVE HIM!!!!!!  So....after a long weekend I woke up today refreshed and ready for the day.  Anyways...I know this was long and rambly...but oh well.  I had a fabulous weekend and I don't care. haha.

I hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day as well!!

Blessed

I know that I have been complaining a lot.  But,I am aware of how blessed I am.  Like I have said many times before, I have an amazing husband, I have a great family, wonderful friends, a roof over my head, a job, and food in my belly.  But, like I have previously mentioned, it is easier for me and I know most of us humans to concentrate on the things that get us down more than the things that get us high. 

So...Im know I bitch a lot, but I know how lucky I am to have what I already do have.

ahhh suki suki!

Well now,  I hope everyone has had a marvelous week!!  This was a very long week for me.  I was having trouble sleeping this whole week and today it really caught up with me.  I was so impatient today woofta!   Anyways...I am looking forward to the weekend!  Jay got half of the master bedroom painted today so tomorrow we will finish it up and then....da da daaaah....we are FINISHED painting...well....painting rooms anyways, haha.  Who knows what else will need a coat of color.  Our final room to decorate is the guest room, it has been painted for some time, but right now it has been a bit of a catch all room.  Soon enough!  Our goal is to be completely finished with the inside (with what we can afford anyways) by summer.  For now, however, I am off to bed.  Have a fabulous weekend friends!

My Girls

Tonight the girls danced at halftime of the basketball game.  They did so good and looked so cute.  After they were done, each of them came up and gave me a huge hug before they left, and told me to have a good weekend.  They melted my heart.  I needed this.  I have been so frustrated with other coaches lately that I have lost sight of things.  But these sweet girls are the reason I do this and they reminded me of that tonight. LOVE THEM!!

Gag!

So...tonight I went to exercises, went to dance and then went out for pizza with my bestie.  Let me tell you, I feel sooo sick right now.  I didnt eat hardly anything all day because I wanted to scarf on some pizza.  But after eating so well the last few weeks and feeling fabulous, and then eating 4 pieces of pizza...ugh.  To think I used to do that every week at least once...gag.  Even after only three weeks of eating healthier.  I am so disghusted.  Im just really glad I had exercises and dance class tonight to help offset haha.  I came home after eating and had to play "Just Dance" on WII and did two dances and had to stop because I was so sick to my stomach haha.  yuck.  Anyways, I am so glad that I am finally committed to doing this!  I feel great and on top of it I lost 7 pounds last week!  YAY!  Anyways...I had to share.  Hope you all are having a fabulous week!

Wintertime Blues

It's12:30AM as I start this.  I am exhausted but find myself unable to relax and sleep.  I am hoping that getting up, futzing around for a bit and then trying again will help. 

The past few weeks have been busy, yet uneventful.  Between work and other obligations I am beginning to become worn out and bored.  I like my job enough to get up and go to it every day, but I wouldnt be sad to leave it for something else. Although I would probably go back to visit quite often with the Residents, since they are the only reason I keep going back to work (besides the paycheck :-).   Jay still has yet to find a job so we are scraping by by the skin of our teeth leaving no money for entertainment of any kind.  So, we play cards or board games or WII together,which I love and usually have a good time doing, but I am severely craving something a little more thrilling than another Friday night with the hubs and The Game Of Life.   We need some excitement in our lives!  I want to go somewhere!  I want to do something!!  I have a severe case of the "Winter Blues"  While I love snow and winter, I don't like the short days and the lack of fun stuff to go do if you don't own equipment of some sort (skis, snowmobiles, skates,etc.) and I can only build so many snow men before I start to wimper at the thought of another Saturday afternoon rolling around in the snow (which has all melted and made a giant sloppy muddy mess of our driveway) 

JEEZ BITCH BITCH BITCH!!!!  Sorry guys...it's those winter blues complaining!  At least the days are starting to get a little longer, and before we know it, it will be spring and time to plant the gardens.

I have been doing pretty good so far, I think, but we just started last week and my next weigh in is tomorrow so I will see how I am doing then.  Wish me luck!

Motivation!!! I have found thee!!!

Holy Moses!  I have been without motivation for...well...quite some time now.  Today...I have found it!  I came home from a productive day at work. Cooked a delicious nutritious meal, and cleaned the house!  Dusted, swetp, vacuumed, mopped and organized a little.  I usually save these deeper cleans for the weekends, and just pick up during the week, but I had so much energy when I got home that I decided to just do it and now I can have my weekend to do something fun, or get our office and guest room all done.  I am hoping my productivity is here to stay and not just a fly by energy burst.
