Good Things!

I got a call this morning that is going to change our lives.  I got the job that I was hoping to get!  I will be starting on Monday morning!  I also told them that I cannot work next Friday due to our plans to go to Kennywood and he was fine with that!!  My current [...]



The Perfect Weekend

This weekend was perfect in every way.  We spent the entire weekend together, as a family.  We didn’t do anything that was necessary..meaning, we did what we wanted, when we wanted. 
Yesterday, the weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot and not rainy or windy.  The kids and I swam, Chuck mowed the grass and we [...]



A move in the right direction

I have been looking for a job for many months.  I have applied several places, had interviews and even had one place call to say they wanted to hire me.  Unfortunately, that company…the daycare…hasn’t called back.  I drive past there every so often and I don’t think they had a very good enrollment because there [...]



Wednesday Weigh-In

I’m stuck.  I am staying at the same weight.  I have been here for awhile.  Well, actually no, I haven’t.  I did lose that pound the first week of the new challenge but since then, I have been stuck.  Still holding steady at 129lbs. 
I’m not complaining too much because I could do worse and I [...]



Seriously time, slow down!

Is it just me or is time going by too quickly this summer?!  How in the heck are we at the end of June already?! 
We haven’t done much so far this summer because we have been busy or the days just slip by. 
We have a day at Kennywood planned with some friends.  We are taking [...]



Time Flies When You Are Happy

Chuck and I got married on July 30, 1999.  Yep, almost ten years ago! 
I had found out that I was pregnant the April before and we decided that although we had gone against the proper order of things, we wanted to be married when our baby was born.  It was important to us. 
I was due [...]



The benefits of saling!

No, I don’t mean sailing on the water, I am referring to garage/yard sales.  Chuck and I love to go to yard sales on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings to the flea market. 
I have been going to yard sales for years, even when I was young and I went with my mom.  I used to [...]



Wednesday Weigh-In

I wasn’t sure how this week would go.  I really didn’t think that there would be a loss at all.  I was prepared to put my head down and report back to my team that I didn’t lose at all. 
Much to my surprise, I am down a pound!!  This means that I am down in [...]



Go, Purple, Go!

So, I mentioned that I am on Team Purple for the newest Sisterhood challenge…and I said I would put up links for my teammates and their blogs. 
I am going to make good on my promise! 
Here are the ladies of Team Purple!
Melissa (who is from the Sisterhood!) aka Lissa

I just met these ladies last week through [...]



I can’t make you like me, if you don’t

I tried.  I did.  I reached out to my friend looking for answers, looking to make things right and rekindle a friendship that was somehow lost. 
I got no response.  Nothing.  I thought that I would give her the benefit of the doubt and think that maybe she hadn’t been on the computer.  She has posted [...]
