As One Challenge Ends, Another Begins

I just wrote the other day about stepping it up a bit to try to lose weight.  I am going to try to engage in a challenge where I will be accountable. 
I am joining the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Pants!
This means that every Wednesday I will have to weigh myself or at least report my [...]



THE LAST DAY, I MADE IT!!!!

Today is the last day of November, which means that I have made it through the entire month and have posted every.  The entries may not have been meaningful or exciting but I did it!
I found that I had more to say than I thought.  I’ve found that I enjoyed posting everyday and I can’t [...]



Doing more

I went to the gym this morning after not having gone for three days.  I did the elliptical and the treadmill.   I jogged on the treadmill much longer than I have ever jogged.  It wasn’t long by most people’s standards but about seven minutes of jogging for me is progress.  That is my goal, to increase [...]



Bah Humbug….or not

As the holiday season gets moving along and Christmas is nearing, I am finding that I am dreading it a little more with each thought.  I hate that but it is becoming more stressful each year. 
We have done some major downsizing in the gift giving department and today, my brother, my sister and I all decided [...]



Happy Thanksgiving

Today is one of my favorite days of the year!  I love all the foods that we eat on Thanksgiving.  I love getting together with the family and sharing memories and laughing for hours.
I hope everyone out there enjoys their day and is reminded of all their blessings.  I know I will!

J

That’s the letter I got from Jen.  Here’s what I am supposed to do….write a post using the letter J to tell you ten things that I love.  Then, if you leave me a comment, I will give you a letter and you do the same! 
This might actually be a hard one for me!
1.  Jada-my [...]

The first haircut

We just gave Lincoln his first haircut!  I wanted to just give him a little trim and leave about an inch.  Chuck suggested we just buzz it off.  After I cut off an inch or two, I was on board for the clippers. 
I cannot express just how cute he looks with his hair buzzed off!  He [...]



Any suggestions?

My sister is hosting our family Thanksgiving at her house.  We weren’t sure if we were going to make it for dinner or just dessert since my Sister-in-law was also hosting Thanksgiving for Chuck’s family.  I wasn’t sure of the timing for the SIL so I said that we would go to my sister’s since [...]
