That was fun.

Notice the sarcasm...

I went to my very first spin class tonight! It was.....painful. I got probably the best workout I have had in years, but man it will take some getting used to! I felt completely exhausted and I think every muscle in my body was quivering when I was done, but really, I felt good! I think I worked muscles that I didn't even know I had!! When I got into the class everyone was pulling out these little gel seats and I was thinking *why do they need those...these seats look okay.* WRONG answer, by about minute 4 I was pretty sure my rear was literally going to just break. Sooo I will be hauling my sore butt to Walmart tomorrow and purchasing what I like to refer to as an "ass aid".


Not much else to report, I am sitting here watching Dave and his brother Daniel play hockey (video game...not real life) *SO exciting...* :) I kid because I love!!

Yum-o!

That was my Rachel Ray impression..good no? Anyways, I made a cake for Dave last night and it looked too good to not take a picture soooo...

Sorry the quality is so bad...thats what I get for using my camera phone! Anyways, its a double layer choc-choc cake with toasted coconut on top! Dave seemed to like it so...success!!

Dad left for Austin this morning on the Amtrak train, I am glad he is going to get away for a few days. After Melv died...well, I just think it was hardest on him. I often wonder how he is really doing with everything, I mean, he always seems so incredibly strong, but I see the hurt in his eyes...we have lost a lot in these last couple years. And he went from having his wife, one of his daughters, and his dog, in one house....to just him, in about 3 years. Thats a lot. Anyways, he is a really amazing man and I hope he finds...whatever his heart is looking for.

New look...new changes!

So I have decided to change this blog....and my life, hopefully a lot! I have made a few decisions over the past couple weeks, so here is where I am at:



1- I am overweight...not like "oh a little chub never hurt anyone", but "hey none of my clothes fit" kind of thing. SO, I am making some life changes, I am already a member at the Y...I am quite embarrassed that I have not been there in longer than I would like to admit. So I need to get my butt in gear! I am looking in to taking some spin classes (starting thursday!) and taking my puppy for a run (lets be honest there will be more walking than running I am sure!) I am thinking I will go back on Slim Fast as it has worked for me in the past...I dont get slim fast (as in quickly) but hopefully it will help the process!

2-My clothes...are pathetic. I am going to use this weekend to comepletely clean out my closet and finally throw away all of those clothes that I never wear, and the clothes that I still have from...middle school. Yeah, no joke. I plan to slowly buy clothes that I like as I begin to lose the weight that I don't like!

3- My hair, I have pretty hair, and it looks great...when I take the time to do it! And that is not often enough so I have decided that I need to get a new style (maybe lose a little length and add some layers) so that I will be a little more motivated to actually put some time into making it look decent!

Okay, that is enough for now, I will update you soon as to where I am at!

Oh me oh my....

How busy we are! Everyday has been so busy lately, my lovely cousin and I pretty much are married to each other as much time as we spend together in class :) (um..sorry honey, still love you!) Part of me was worried about how Dave and I would handle being away from each other so much....but we seem to be doing really well, we enjoy what time we have together and I still really look forward to my phone ringing when he is on his way home.

School is really good...lol I almost believed that...school is school, lets be honest.

My poor husband is at the Dentist right now having a tooth extracted...thats how they put it on the phone, can't they just say pulled? Hopefully he will be feeling a lot better once it is out. (And hopefully some pain killers will help...)

But besides work and school, not to much new goin on. Just trying to keep up with life!
