Monday

Hi all new readers from Twitter Mom’s! I’m glad you are here! Thanks for visiting and please comment, I love comments. I will be working down the links throughout the week. I hope to comment more often on blogs now that I have a schedule down with the family. Feel free to add me as a friend on Twitter Mom’s and join my group Tattooed Mom’s if you would like. If you aren’t on Twitter Mom’s, just click any of the links to get you there, then add me! :cool:

It’s definitely a Monday. I haven’t really had a bad day, just a long one.

I went and weighed in today, down 2.8 more pounds for a loss of 10 pounds in 10 weeks! Go me! In 10 days it’s my bday and maybe I will keep my goal of 12 pounds by then, but if not, no biggie. I ran a 12:19 mile on the treadmill this morning! A new pace for me, I’ve been at 4.7 for a while on the speed, cranked it up to 5.0 so I can get more and more speed and get this weight off of me! I started working on  my abs as well, I’ve been putting that off for a while. I’m going to take my own personal yoga mat to the gym and put it in my locker. I cannot stand using a mat with a towel. I have no idea who or how many people have been on the gym mat before me and I’m a germophobe that way! EW! Anyhow, I plan on working on them each time I’m at the gym, so by Christmas I should see some sort of improvement. I’ve been working out each weekday for the past two months! I just realized that today. I only skipped last Friday because there were a lot of things going on and it was Greg’s day off.

The weekend was good, we went to the race on Saturday. Jen and Matt went with us and we even got a photo taken of us there. I took one of them as well, you can see that on my Facebook and our Flickr account. There was a really bad accident early on Saturday  morning, during qualifying. The girl riding the bike in the tower lane near us, wiped out so badly that we were all stunned and just sat there. (We later found out that she was fine, moving, talking, no injuries, thank God for that!) I thought I had gotten photos of it happening, but, didn’t know that I hadn’t until Rich Christensen asked me to let him see. Since I didn’t and there was a camera…I asked if it was okay to have a photo taken with him. Hubby took it and did a pretty good job I think. We had a good day, I took a lot of photos and got some great bikes speeding along at over 150 MPH in some cases. Jen and I walked around and saw all the bikes, went to the top of the track where everyone was lined up waiting and took some photos of some bikes and some of the guys and their kids too. Greg and I each bought at least one shirt. I think that was a great way to spend the day. It was sunny and in the low 70’s, not very humid either.

Sunday we got some stuff done around the house, then went and delivered the DVD in our old town to the “wedding” couple. I don’t do weddings. ‘Nuff said. We also went and shopped for some baby things for people we know having babies. I just have to wrap them up and send them off this week. Theresa has gotten her gifties by now, how about you Cheryl? It was SO weird to see our old town, really weird. I haven’t been back there since we moved I don’t think.

Jess is going to be visiting this weekend, I’m so excited!! She flies in on Friday night, so I’m off to meet Greg at Pentagon City Mall for dinner, then we’re picking her up! She flies out on Sunday evening. I know it will go SO quickly. We’re taking our Christmas family photo on Saturday and probably doing lunch somewhere as well. She hasn’t been here since the end of May for Violet’s birthday! We saw her for a brunch in mid-June and Greg and I saw her in August. But, Jac and Vi haven’t since June. Hopefully she will remember Violet.

We finally hung the photos on the wall in Violet’s room. She loves them. I took a bunch of photos that one day a few weeks ago and had them all printed up in 5 x 7’s. She can see Jac and Storm as well as Jess and Greg and I any time she wants. We just change them out as the family photos are done. There’s a little gallery on each wall and we put one right next to her line of sight on her changing table. Target had a HUGE sale on frames for college students and I ended up getting like 30 or 40 of them for about .50 each. I have a bunch to hang in my office as well.

Gotta run and get some food, then, time for laundry and then hopefully watching Prison Break tonight. TTFN! :kiss:

    Yay for photos! It’s nice for them to see their family. We did that with the girls I think as well. I know that Jess saw Greg’s photo a lot when he was deployed, so she could see her daddy.

    I’m so excited about seeing Jess!!

    Is Target still having that picture frame sale? I’ve been wanting to get some new (matching) frames for our downstairs for quite a while now. And I don’t want to pay a lot! Let me know. Love your blog design, BTW! And do you have any special plans for your birthday?

    They were last week at one of the ones in our area, but not at the other one. It’s a college frame thing, look for them at the end of an aisle, on the main aisle, near the photo frames. They are wrapped in pairs, different colors, black, white, purpley-pink, pink, green. 5 x 7’s and 4 x 6’s. Good luck!

    Thanks! I just changed it not too long ago.

    Friday I’m getting 2 new tattoos, we’re going to dinner @ Joe’s Crab Shack with a few of my friends. :smile: Saturday is CropToberFest from 11-5 for me with some new crop buddies! I’m so excited about that. I’ve been trying to get some pages together already.

    Congrats on the weight loss. Seems like I’m always on that path.
