20th High School Reunion

I found out yesterday that my 20th High School Reunion will be September 30, 2006. It will either be semi-formal or casual; but unsure yet.

I'm so exited about this reunion and can't wait to go. That gives me approximately 4 months to really get on my diet and lose some more weight. I'd love to lose atleast another 30 lbs. 30 lbs in 4 months; not sure I can do that, but I'll try.

I'm so anxious to see everyone!!

3 Weeks until a Year

I have 3 weeks left until I have been dieting for a year now. My initial goal was 50 lbs in a year; well, I have 4 lbs 2 oz to lose in that 3 weeks.

The way I've been losing, well rather gaining, I'm getting scared that I won't do that.

I know I can make myself lose 5 lbs in 3 weeks, but will I?

Stay tuned to find out if I make it. I'll post a new picture if I do.

Britney Spears

I am so sick of hearing about Britney Spears being a bad mom just because a photographer is in her face 24/7.

Yes, I totally agree that it was WRONG that she drove with the baby in her lap. The other incident about his car seat wasn't rear facing is a bit much. The CA law recommends that a baby under 1 year old and under 20 lbs. face the rear; however, it's not the law, so she wasn't breaking any laws.

Then, today on CNN, I see this headline "Caught on film: Britney baby bobble feeds tabloid turmoil". She tripped over her jeans; it's not like she purposely tripped in order to drop the baby.

I feel like her first time experience as being a mother is 10X worse because of the papparazi. They need to remember that she is a first time mother, everyone has made mistakes when trying to raise a baby.

I remember when Ashley was about 6-9 months and I fell in my driveway with her. Fell meaning, down on the ground.....I reacted fast enough to use my arm to protect her head from hitting the concrete; but accidents happen.

Give Britney a break! Atleast everywhere she goes, she has him with her and she isn't leaving him with a nanny all the time.

Mother's Day

The meaning of mother is "A woman who conceives, gives birth to, or raises and nurtures a child."

Well, I'm unable to conceive and I haven't given birth; but I do feel like I have helped raise and I definitely nuture a child. I never expect anything for Mother's Day; but this year, Shane gave me a card and a silver bracelet.

Inside the card, he wrote, "I just figured you deserved a mother's day card too. After all it takes the patience of a mother to put up with me, Ashley and Logan like you do."

I thought that was really sweet.

Happy "Belated" Mother's Day to every woman!!!

I need a new routine

I have been going to the gym for the past 7 months and I need a new routine.

Me and Zona, my workout partner, do the same thing every Monday and Weds, sometimes Thursdays.

We do the back of our arms(that wave to you) with weights, next we do our leg pushes. Then we do our arms again, but it's a different arm area with weights this time. Then we do our abs-2 different styles. One where we bend over front ways with weights and then we do crunches. We sometimes do our calves and sometimes do the eplitical machine for about 5 minutes because we can't handle it.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to change our routine? If so, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Lake Winnie-Cancelled, Robbery-Succeeded

Yesterday, Ashley and I were to go to Lake Winnie with the other 3rd and 4th graders from Grace Baptist Academy. At around 9:40, the principal cancelled the trip due to the forecast.

It really disappointed the kids; but the parents were wondering why it got cancelled. The sun was shining and we all knew the forecasters aren't THAT predictable. Anyway, it did shower for about 30 mins; but it wasn't a thunderstorm like they predicted.

As I'm in the school waiting for the final decision; I didn't take my cellphone inside. After they cancelled, when I got to my car; I had missed 9 phone calls.

I had 4 voicemails. 3 were from Shane hysterically upset wondering why he couldn't get a hold of me.

When I finally reached him, he said that he had been hit over the back of the head and his money was stolen. He just got his 1st full paycheck and had it cashed.

He said his head hurt, but the police were on their way.

When I got home; yes, home, it happened in our garage. Shane was fine; just a sore neck and a headache; but he was really upset about this.

Now Shane is a physical big boy and I'm always saying how he protects me and I'm not scared with him around at all. I know he would take care of me if anyone tried anything.

He said he had just pulled into our garage and was getting his stuff out of his truck, he was at the bed of the truck messing with his things, wallet in hand. All of a sudden, someone hit him in the back of the head. He said he went down on his knees and just barely saw someone running away from the scene and then passed out. He was out for about 10-15 mins.

All is well now; except the loss of his paycheck.

I really don't understand how someone can hurt a person for their money that they worked hard for. If you need money for things that you want; then I suggest you go out and work like the rest of the world does. If you need money for drugs and are that desperate, then I suggest you go get help.

Drugs make people do things that any right person wouldn't think of doing. If you choose to do drugs, then ruin your own life and not everyone else's.
