Today in history...

Thursday = Sleeping in with Patrick (7:57am). Having lunch with Patrick. Going to visit Becky Boo with Holden. Chasing Holden all over Becky's new apartment. And enjoying a little me time while Holden takes a long second nap.

Finally!!!

I have trying to find a cute/hip/different/unique/out of the box jewelry container. I am a HUGE fan of Anthropolgie. If you don't know about it...you should probably google it...Wait, who am I kidding? Everyone knows about it! It isn't a cheap store. Ive already bought one thing off my wishlist...It sits on our bed side table. Now we have an S in three of our rooms (Living room, Dining room and Bedroom).




I picture this would look lovely with all my jewelry in it. On top of our newish dresser (which needs to be stained soon!). I want it soooo badly!

Homemade goodness!

My camera is broken (which is the reason for the lack of photos in my posts). Well the screen is. So I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. This is the only picture that came out. The meatballs were being made to use in meatball subs. Too bad we have the buns and the balls, but no sauce. I totally thought we had like 2 jars on the shelf...but we don't. I guess these will go in the freezer till we get some. Bummer!


*and sadly they had to be made with not so good bbq sauce. we don't really keep good stuff around. we usually eat it as fast as we can.

I had a crazy rushed start to today. I was surrounded by dumb/rude/ignorant/cheapskates. But some good came out of all the rushing around we had to do today. And here are some of the good/fun/daydream wishing/exciting things we did today.


-Ate some black pepper and olive oil triscuits
-Mini cupcakes (making, not eating)
-Day dreaming of Teavana. (Wish it wasn't all the way at the mall.)
-Warm weather.
-A clean home (I wish Bear wouldn't mess it up every chance he gets. Atleast I tried cleaning)
-Preparing for mommy day gifts. (Going to start working on 1 of 2 this weekend. Hopefully.)
-Going and eating with Pat at his work.
-Started to make two Etsy items. (I just need to drill a hole, paint the back and thread a ribblon through).
-Daydreaming about a nap. I've been crashing at 3-4 ever since I gave up soda. I need a coffee!!!

Progress report...

I am down 3 lbs!!! And still not drinking soda. I can't believe I have gone a 1.5 weeks without one. It feels like forever. It took everything in my power not to have a soda today for lunch. They were all looking at me with their sugar caffeinated eyes. An ice cold soda sounds so great right about now. But I won't indulge till July 1st 2010. I can't wait for that day. I will be drinking a whole case all to myself.

Step 7...

I am 7 days sober....from soda that is. I want one sooooo bad! But I'm not going to do it. I have already lost 1.1 lbs. I've also started eating healthier. Atleast during the day. I still eat the same at night. I have also cut back seriously on fast food. I had it yesterday for the first time in almost a week. I decided on a grilled chicken instead of fried. It was an amazing choice.

I purchased a summer dress that was a size to small. I hope I am able to fit into it before the summer is over. Wish me good luck!

30 day challenge.

I am trying to get back down to my pre pregnancy weight...which is 145 lbs. I am currently at 166 lbs. 2 days ago I cut soda out of my diet and started writing in a food journal. I have cut back on a lot of fast food and trying to make healthier choices. So far so good. I worked out for the first time in 275 days (according to our wii fit). It wooped my butt. I would like to way 150- 145 lbs by July 1st. I want to be able to wear a 2 piece swimsuit again...comfortably. Wish me good luck!

This and that..

Easter has come and gone. Another holiday has past. This year is on it's way out. I can not believe how fast time flies when you have a child. I mean this year feels like it just started. I can't believe how fast it will go when Holden starts walking. It will be Christmas before we know it.




[Holden with his fathers easter basket on his head. Obviously enjoying every moment of it.]
