January 2, 2009


Wow, I have really not been good at this blogging thing?!? One of my resolutions is to get better at that!
Happy New Year everyone! And Happy Birthday to my wonderful father-in-law (12/30) and mother-in-law (1/5)! We had a wonderful New Year's dinner and Birthday celebration for the both of them tonight.


My SIL Jennifer is here for the holiday's. She is pregnant with her first baby and we couldn't be more excited for her. She is due Feb 21st and is not going to find out if it is a boy or girl....which would absolutely drive me crazy!! I had to know right then...I mean right then...as soon as we were able to tell...right then!! You know what I mean?? The suspense would absoultely kill me! But that is me and this is them and their first and I guess it could be kind of cool to be all surprised when the baby comes....whatever....I am dying to know!! I just can't wait to get my hands on the little bundle of joy!!


Again, By the WEIGH I was down 34.8 pounds at my last meeting!! Yeah! Although it should be down about 50 by now :( I need to try a little harder. The end of February will be 1 year since I joined Weight Watchers and I definately want to have a total weight loss by then of 50 pounds. That seems like a lot since I have only lost 35 pounds in 9 months. That's 8 weeks to lose 15 pounds (depending on how much I gained over the holiday's these past 2 week since my meetings are held on Thursday's and Christmas and New Years both fell on Thursday's so I haven't had a meeting for 3 weeks by the time I get to go again on Jan 8)! If I only have to love 15 pounds that I will only have to lose 1.8 pounds a week to make that goal of 50 pounds by the end of February! Please pray with me to make that goal!


On another point, I have been so happy about reuniting with some of my old farts...I mean friends on facebook. What a cool site to reunite with old friends that you haven't seen in FOREVER but would still like to keep in touch with!


Well my baby is now 14 and thinks he is 30....no actually 22 because I was much more calm and collective at 30! Zach is a very handsome 5'6" 110 lb 14 year old that really enjoys playing sports and beating up on his little sister. He plays baseball, football (which he recently broken his clavicle in) and now wrestles. He used to play basketball and soccer but the got booted out with football and wrestling. T
his is his first year at wrestlng but I am so proud of him. His first 3 matches he pinned the player before the match was over. We went to State Qualifiers in Simpsonville where he won by forfit on the first match and pinned the sencond match and got defeated in the championship match by a guy that had obviously been wrestling a lot longer than Zach. He did not pin Zach...they went all 3 rounds and Zach lost by a score of 6-8....so not by too much. But it was his first loss and he was a little disappointed...which I knew would eventually come. I am still proud of my growing boy! If only I could get a little more RESPEST!!!



My daughter on the other hand is a little ANGEL...most of the time. Or I guess I could call her my Princess! Let me tell you a little about Morgan...she is very impatient for one! She like to get a lot of attention, but is still shy in a croud on most occasions. She is in Kindergarten at Fair-Oak Elementary in Westminster, SC. We absolutely love this area. We have been here for 9 years and couldn't ask for any better...except for some senile men and women on the POA board to help make rational decisions from time to time.....they do ittitate me somewhat!



But back to Morgan. She is dancing now at a local dance studio in Seneca....when she is not sitting in time out for disrupting the class. I hope she doesn't get kicked out....this has been very expensive for us with all the shoes and costumes and stuff. She is in 2 classes, but I think she sits out the majority of one or both of them. We will seriously have to reconsider the dance classes come next year.
