I am feeling really positive about this month. Oct. 9 seems so far away, and I keep telling myself to be patient. I don't remember noticing anything until a couple of days before AF was supposed to show up before, so I'm trying not to overanalyze my body

Somehow I dropped two pounds this weekend - weight this morning 140. Progress. Just gotta keep exercising and eating decent. My 2nd time playing golf was quite interesting - I was playing horribly, but hey, it was the second 9 holes I'd ever played. This

I promised the salsa ( for canning only ) recipe - DH found it online. 7 quarts tomatoes, peeled, cored, chopped 4 cups long green chili peppers, chopped 5 cups onions, chopped 1/2 cup jalapenos, chopped 6 cloves garlic (or equivalent) 2 cups bottled

The whirlwind of fall visits. This weekend we are going to visit my parents and cousins (I think our golf outing will be rained out), then next weekend my ILs are coming to visit us. It is the midst of football season, and I just want a weekend where

Here are random pics that I am always trying to get put up and forget about: Snowman Table Runner I quilted Green Beans Me and Lucy Canned Green Beans Wow - that took way too much quota time and effort! But some pics for you all. Getting closer to finished

That's all there is to it. I didn't gym last night, so I set my alarm for 5:50 so I could get to the gym right at 6am and have lots of time. I was wide awake waiting for the alarm to go off, and what did I do? Turn it off and decide to lay in bed for

I am giving up regular Coke. In the past I have just given up and had water or water mixed with juice or iced (unsweet) tea, but I eventually go back to Coke becuase of the caffeine (I hate coffee). I can taste the difference between reg, diet, Coke Zero,

I didn't do any exercise yesterday, but I'm planning on going to the gym before DH's softball game tonight. When I went Monday, I lifted weights, and now I am sore. Not in a "I can't move, Oh my God that hurts!" way, but some soreness that makes me realize

Because I have a meeting in 9 minutes . . . I was an exercise slacker over the weekend, but I did do some walking and gardening and stuff. DH had to feed at the sheep barn, so I went along and ended up bottle feeding lambs all weekend - which I enjoy.

but I'm working on it. I played my 1st nine holes of golf Sunday. I'm having trouble getting under the ball, which means it bounces along the ground instead of going through the air. I also slipped and went down a small hill on my butt b/c the grass was

Last night was a bad night. It started out fine – DH and I went out to dinner. In the middle of eating, DH said our neighbor’s wife is pregnant, just out of the blue – it was a shock, and it just brought back all the sadness and jealousness. It kind of

but I enjoyed last night. I always make ambitious lists but know that there are certain things I may not get to. I did run (that was rough since I was tired from busting it on the elliptical and there were lots of ppl and cars at 6ish), and then ate,

I am a little excited for my night in by myself. DH has a double-header (softball), and I have decided to stay home and relish the time alone. I am going to run the long loop (3.7 miles) when I get home, then after a shower and supper, my plans are as

My newest obsessions are decorating for Halloween (self explanatory) and candymaking. I saw some of the Wilton candy molds and decided to see what they have for Halloween and other holidays, and I am now obsessed. I am making plans for what all to get,

(No the pun wasn't intended, but it's actually not too bad. . .) Yesterday MIL called DH, and when they got off the phone DH told me something that has me nervous. Evidently everyone was together for a birthday party, including the family’s psychic friend

I swear, this ticket-getting thing is stressful and confusing. I asked several people if they had tix to the game . . . got a positive response from one this morning (have to pay face value), and a let me check last night (free). I was holding out for

I didn’t realize I was married to a 3 rd grader until this morning – no, wait, that’s demeaning to the 3 rd graders out there. Story: I took the dog to the vet Monday. While I was there, I made appointments for the cats for today (I even called DH to

Urgh . . . I cannot wait for tomorrow (Friday). I have been super dressed up all week at work, and pouring myself into my too-tight suit this morning has not helped my mood. All week I have been to receptions, events, meetings with big-wigs, working late,

Long day today . . . I have to work all day, find and buy a new suit at lunch, go from work to a reception for an event I’m working tomorrow, go straight from that to choir practice, and then stay after practice for a social. I left the house at 8:15AM,

My last 2 blog posts are down. I could just see in my mind's eye people thinking what a complaining, ungrateful wife I was, and I was thinking it myself reading them. I blame it on PMS-induced down in the dumps-ness. Now that AF has started, I'll be much

the house idea fell flat on its face with my husband. We drove out to see it, and you can't see it at all from the road (I believe it's down in a valley). We came back home and DH looked at it online and said it looked nice, but when I said nice enough

I have found a real life prospect for a house!!! It's in our price range, in a good area near where we are, and is not a dump! Of course I can already see some changes (like redoing the floors, repainting, finishing the basement, adding shutters, and

I have been seriously slacking in the exercise department . . . I haven't run since Friday. But I am not completely without exercise this week: Saturday I sweated out buckets of water at the game (I rehydrated), which was definitely a workout for my body,

Today is our 2-year anniversary. We went out to eat last night, since I have choir tonight, but we’re going to watch our wedding video before bed (which we’ve never seen, as we got it partway through year #2). My brother did it, and based on what I’ve
