Geeked

I normally don't like to spend money unless it is absolutely necessary, but I had to this time. I set out and picked out a ton of ribbon and everything so that I can finally make Aslynn some more bows. I'm a nerd because I'm geeked about ribbon and crafts I know.

I did make a new blog though specifically for bows and other things I make for her just so I don't clutter up this blog :)

Ten on Thursday

  1. Tomorrow I am going to pack of the kiddos and trekk to Monica and Craig's house. Poor Craig hasn't seen his Princess since Christmas and I think he's starting to have withdrawal. He even wooed me with his fabulous home made pizza...mmm good stuff. Plus it's aslo an Aldi run so I am super stoked about that.
  2. Brad's sister had her spawn a week ago. Now if you had been reading and kept up with the story you would know how not thrilling this was. But she was clean and did get to keep the baby. But she has to appear in court soon for the two charges of possession so we'll see what happens with that. I hate to admit it but the little girl is starting to grow on me. I mean after all she is a baby and I'm a sucker for babies. But you can tell that she is mixed, she came out black.
  3. I'm counting down the days to our purchase of a Wii and Wii Fit. I've already cut out the majority of my Caffeine Free Diet Coke out of my daily ritual, but I still allot myself no more than two, which I am hoping to cut out period. I've also cut back on my sweets and my portion sizes. I'm playing around with new Weight Watchers recipes.
  4. Aslynn is almost to the point where she can sit up on her own! Woohoo. Atleast she's crawling so that makes up for the skipping of that milestone :)
  5. These days my hair style has consisted of being in either a pony tail or curly. My straightener croaked while we were up in Michigan and if you know me then you know that my straightener is my bestest friend in the whole wide world. I've seriously missed that bad boy and know that once my tax return gets back I am investing in a new one. That one was 5 years old so I wore it out :)
  6. Speaking of hair, I also need a good recoloring. Because I have the greatest hair stylist in the world, back in July she died my hair but was able to make it so that my roots weren't all too horrible. They are just now getting to that e'ghad look.
  7. Brad still hasn't found a job job but he's been webmastering it for two companies. So that's brought us in a little income to get bills paid.
  8. Brayden has taken a fondness to feeding the animals from his high chair. It's rather funny and we can't get made at him.

I'm running short of things...its the thought that counts

Michigan






Granted the reason we were in Michigan in the first place was a rather unpleasant one Grandma Garner gave us poor snow deprived southeners just that. Lots of snow. And I mean lots. I'm roughly 5ft tall and the snow came up to my knees.
It was beautiful. It sparkled like diamonds when the sun hit it. There was this sense of serenity all around Caro just because of the snow.

Motivation

Over the past two years I have gained a total of 75 lbs and lost 80lbs. I really wish I could say that it wasn't due to the fact that over the past two years I have been pregnant. I wish I could say that I lost those 80lbs and never gained the 75lbs.

Here in the next few weeks we will be investing in a Wii as well as Wii Fit. I'm starting a new way of life simply because I look at photos from when I was in high school, and thought I was fat although I wasn't and I miss that Brittni. I can do it. Its a far shot goal, but its still an attainable goal.


80lbs

That's my goal. Once I step on the scale and weigh myself I will make myself accountable for all of my readers to see. I dream to fit back into those American Eagle petite flares that I wore all throughout high school or that one pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans.

I can do it and I am.
