Well, last night I spoke to my High School BFF whom I hadn't spoke to in 13 years!?!?!? After Junior College we kind of parted ways, she went off to College and I stayed home and went to a local college. I met Husband during College and when I spoke to her about Husband I unknowingly filtered much of the information and mostly spoke of the things that were wrong and included nothing that was positive. My theory is she probably couldn't understand why I would want to stay with this guy, and if I had heard only what I had told her, I would've thought the same. That's my guess as to why we split as friends even further. It's a guess......but I always knew Husband had a good heart, and he still does.
After the 1.5 hour phone call I lay in bed thinking of a few embarrassing things that happened while we were BFF in High School (ughh......don't want to even go through one of them), but also the many fun times we had which way out-weighed the negatives. She and I were inseparable in High School. Although we hadn't spoken for years, I felt that pang in my stomach when she told me about the fall out with her husband. I even welled with some tears. Strange, I was so sad that she was hurt even though I hadn't talked to her in so long.
I have now learned that people are in your life for a reason, some to stay, some to not stay and I'm o'kay with that. Perhaps we'll meet up in the future, perhaps not, but it was sure good to talk with her!
Big day tomorrow! Fashion Show at pre-school! My little starlet is so excited to walk on the TABLE....errrr 'runway'!!!!

Failure
WOW! THAT was fast! You bet it was! I worked out on Friday afternoon, only to have Husband make fun of me when he came in and I was trying to work out.....oh, PLUS I weighed myself this morning....back up to the same poundage I was....life is beginning to suck in the working out/being athletic department.
First things first, I have done that Jillian 30 minute shred thing three times, my knees hurt for two days afterwards after each time. I'm not that heavy, but something about my knees isn't as forgiving as it used to be.
Saturday was filled with getting myself and the kids ready for my nephew's birthday party. Husband's assistance included getting the kid's shoes and hats on......my list consisted of waking up, taking out my neighbor's dogs, feeding the kids breakfast, feeding the dog, bathing the kids, giving the kids lunch, doing the dishes, playing with the kids, giving the kids lunch, putting both kids down for a nap (a very short nap), showering myself (fast - I may say), going next door again to let the dogs out, drying my hair over there as to not wake the sleeping kids .....in the mean time, Husband comes home from work, sits down on the couch......and rests.....and rests....I run back upstairs, finish getting dressed, put on makeup, wake up kids, gather clothing, dress them......you get the picture no? We're 45 minutes late to the party.....
The party was actually funner than they've been in the past. When you've got the youngest children at the party, everybody wants to pick them up.....up the stairs, at the top of the stairs, on the wood floor, on the furniture, etc. We were constantly on 'kid watch' (both ours and neices and nephews). It's not the other kids' fault, since they don't have younger siblings, or very young siblings....they don't understand being 'gentle'. I found myself being able to enjoy the party and my brothers a little more....doesn't take much though....
I was dead Sat. night, but still had to go next door to let the dogs out before the night was over, I kept falling asleep and Husband woke me after the kids watched a show. Note he didn't offer to go next door himself..... ::eye roll:: So I survived and let the dogs out at 10:00 pm and back to my couch where I watched SNL til 11:00 pm and wandered into bed around 1:30 am.....oh the exciting life I lead.
So needless to say, I didn't get much done on the working out schedule. And on Sunday I had no desire to be picked on by Husband. So I hope to get a double workout in today and head back to using neighbor's elliptical trainer machine.....
Handsome's party has been moved to a week before his actual birthday, with upcoming procedures on both myself and Handsome, he wouldn't have gotten a party until the end of April, and that's just not fair.....I took many horrible pictures trying to get one for his invitation.....No such luck today....
This was one of the best I got.....
Cute, but the boy doesn't look 'happy'......
Tomorrow is another day.....

Hello Again!
Well, I've avoided you for too long I see. I am back. I hope in full force.
I have yet again started a 'new me' program....It consists of NOT stuffing my face and trying to work out at least 4 times a week, this includes walking/jogging the dog, and my new found exercise buddy, ON Demand exercise. I've been wandering around this 2 Weeks To A New You choice and I've tried several of the workouts, even doubled up on some and even tripled. Don't get too excited, some of the workouts are only 10 minutes long! But the big deal is today, I've printed myself out the Two Week Plan for the 2 Weeks, New You. I think I can even start tomorrow as it's Friday and I can get in that 30 minute work-out plan with Jillian Michael's (you know, of TV's Biggest Loser).
I am really trying to keep my promise of losing those last 10 pounds, which sadly means getting my bootie in gear and exercising off the weighted thighs and booty. Now, mind you 10 pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but I know my body used to be 'BAM!' Nice abs, nice booty (big, but nice), muscular thighs. Chestal area....not so much BAM, sort of a "HUH?".
So having begun this weird 'diet' of sorts 2 weeks ago, I am at the 'thin' portion of my monthly grind. I weighed myself and I was down 3 pounds from where I started. I'm not holding me to that, as I know I'll gain most of it back in a week. So I need to get down 7.5 more pounds. That is my goal.
At least 2 weeks ago, I purchased a 12 pack of beer ......just for me. I have had several days where I promise myself I can have a beer, however, I first must get things done, such as feed kids lunch, check in at work, do work, do laundry, clean something, set up an appointment, etc. by the end of the day, I don't get that beer and even if I remember close to the end of the night....it's simply NOT worth it to me. Sad, I think that's a sign of being older, even beer has to wait. So the 12 pack remains unopened. What a sad state of affairs?!!? Then, another thought comes to mind.......everyone deserves a good night out don't they? Girls night out hasn't been the same group, nor have we been 'out'. Lots of 'home' parties in Jan and Feb. ..... too many really. I'm still broke! One more to go, then we're hopefully done and can get down to cheap nights with lots of laughs!
Weee!.......? Tomorrow I begin!
