crystal's little corner

just so you know, according to the TOPS scales, i gained 3/4 of a pound. i'm also the new co-leader of the group.

i've been having a bad couple of weeks, diet-wise. but, i need to lost 1/4 of a pound this week to meet my monthly goal, so the plan for the next 3 days is plan, exercise, drink water. :) i WILL do this.

i'm drained. i haven't been sleeping, and when i do, my dreams are soo messed up. add to that, that i'm eating like a cow and not exercising, and i feel bloated and yucky. i also made a visit to the bulk barn and found that they sell mini eggs in bulk. oh lord. my one weakness. but, it's friday. cat had surgery today and it went really well. if all goes well, she should be home by tuesday. no plans for the weekend really, just going to hang out with my boys, do some scrapbooking, and we need to get a replacement fish. alex's fish "boo fishy"died a couple of weeks ago, and he's been asking us to keep feeding him every night before bed. he finally stopped asking, so we took the fish tank out of his room, and he found it tonight. here's the conversation: A: "mommy, where's boo fishy?" Me: "he had to go away for awhile." A: "did he go see his mommy & daddy?" Me: "yes buddy." A: "will he come ...

cat is gonna be ok. it'll be a long road, both physically & mentally after the accident, but she's going to be fine. i went to halifax last night and driving past the place where her accident took place just gave me a the creepy crawlies. she had an angel with her tuesday morning. it's the only way she survived.

please keep a close friend of mine in your thoughts this week. she was injured yesterday morning in a HORRIBLE car accident on a local highway here. here's the newslink to the story.

mom called last night on my way to bed. everyone is home, nan included. they want her to have a CAT scan but couldn't find anything else wrong. i'm in meetings all day today, working lunch, so that means i have NO idea what to expect for lunch today. hoping it's something diet-friendly!

mom just called. they had to take my grandma to the hospital tonight via ambulance after she fell down the stairs. did an EKG on her at home and didn't like whatever it was they saw. they're going to call me again later when they know more. :( its' days like this that i hate being so far away.

so, it's only saturday and i already feel like this has been a rough weekend. i did get my haircut yesterday (and it's FAB btw!), BUT then I got up this morning early, bundled Alex in to the car, and headed for Oxford. The original plan was that we were going to come here, hang out 'til lunch, and then head for Moncton to visit with some friends and their new baby. However... Things with my grandmother are not that great, and we put in a rough afternoon. Mom didn't feel comfortable leaving Nan here by herself, and she decided that she wasn't going to go to Moncton with me. Now, after spending 2 1/2 hours in the car this morning with Alex already, I wasn't keen and eager on driving another hour with him by myself. So, I called my friends and explained the situation and of course they understood because they are AMAZING people. Mom, my bro, Alex & I took a quick run to Amherst instead this afternoon because Mom's computer konked out and she ended up ...

So, it's time for a change. I have my hair longish after growing out the inverted bob that I always have my hair in. So tomorrow, I'm heading to the spa on my lunch hour for a cut. I'm thinking some bangs, and some choppy ends, and a little shorter? Thoughts?

Alex loves playing in the snow.

that i'm DONE with winter. these words would never normally come from my mouth, because i actually enjoy winter most of the time. but man! if it doesn't soon stop snowing & throwing chunks of ice at us, i'm going to lose my mind. i ended up with a 1/2 a snow day yesterday, the GM of the hotel sent non-essential staff home at 12. took me close to an hour to get home by the time i stopped to get alex from the sitters. looks like i'll have a full day in today though, the roads are plowed, just looking a little icy.
