getting in the spirit!

whew.. it's been a whirlwind few days! time to start getting ready for the holidays! i just have to say, i have the best hubby EVER.

thursday night, i took off by myself and headed to bridgewater. alex has been asking for a bounce back racer for Christmas, and it's not an easy toy to get your fingers on. i've been told it's like the equivelant of what cabbage patch kid dolls were back in the day when i was a little girl! anyway, i got one! yay! it was a great way to start my shopping.

saturday we both had to work, but only until 3 pm. we left work, dashed home, grabbed alex and drove out to meet some friends who have a couple of boys that alex LOVES to pieces. the 7 of us then headed to new minas, for more Christmas shopping and the Santa Claus parade. the boys had a great time, and played hard together. we got home around 10 last night... expecting to have a quiet day around the house today, getting ready to put decorations up outside and doing some housework. ONLY then...

our friends called to see how alex made out on the trip home last night, and all of a sudden, the 7 of us were making plans again! the dads volunteered to tackle kid-duty for the day and let us mommas go Christmas shopping again! today, i scored the train set that alex has been asking for over and over again! christine & i spent the day shopping, and wrapped it up with chinese take out.

it was a WONDERFUL weekend.

thanksgiving

the weekend started out on a crappy kind of note, but whatever. it's in the past, and i'm now sitting home, comfy cozy with all my family wrapped up around me... :) dad's home from thompson, mark, alex & i are in river philip, and adam & krys come for turkey day tomorrow.

we all have much to be thankful for... as cheesy as the commercial is, we really are richer than we think.

i've been blessed with a beautiful boy who is a happy, healthy, smart little man. i love him more than life. i have a husband who loves me, and appreciates me, and a family that i adore. i may do alot of complaining about things, but i am taking the next two days to reflect on what others dont' have.

last week WI

i was down to 158.8.. that is 8.8 lbs to goal! it's hard to believe that i can get so close, and then ambition disappears. argh.

oh well. another day, another start.

dad got home from thompson last night, so looks like we're heading to oxford for thanksgiving weekend.. i work until 3 on saturday, but have sunday and monday off... ahhh! i love this holiday. i think it's only 2nd in my books to christmas, and really, who doesn't love christmas?

heck, any holiday that involves turkey, i'm pretty much in for.

apparently, i suck.

i'm not so good at the blogging thing... either that, or i just have nothing of interest to talk about!

quick recap ....

august: adam & becky's wedding.. went fantastic! mark & i celebrated another year of marriage :)

september: my baby boy turned 3!

as for the rest of the month, that's pretty much been it... work, come home, cook, clean, sleep. how many of you want to read about that since everyone else pretty much has the same routine?

busy.. take 2!

things are soo busy these days.. between work, and planning for A&B's upcoming wedding, i've had very little time to do much of anything!
we're still working on potty training.. today alex decided that it's the day for peeing standing up. too funny to see that!

tonight i'm off to hali - bachelorette party for one of krystal's friends. so far, it sounds like dinner @ moxie's, then drinks & a penis cake back at her apt.. then off to taboo. should be an ok night.. i hope. i remember what the last night ended up like when we were all out together. so, we'll see.

busy!

i haven't forgotten about you.. i just really haven't had time to update... i'll update later today.. i promise!

missed a week..

forgot to post after TOPS last week... the meeting i led went well - lots of conversation. i don't have to do another one until July 9th. and although i had a gain, it was only 3/4 of a pound.
i went tonight, and lost 2.5 lbs!!
