A Mother's Day Surprise!

 


Mother's Day is right around the corner. Chris has been trying to think of a memorable first Mother's Day gift for me, but as usual, I am difficult to shop for. He called me at work this morning with the biggest surprise I've had in awhile. He told me that Claire and I are going to N.D. this weekend! What a great husband! He called my Mom and of course, she was thrilled too. I guess it is a gift to us both. This is her first Mother's Day without her Mom, so I am sure it will help her to be surrounded by her four girls. I spread the word as quickly as I could. The rest of my family was as excited as my Mom. I am thrilled to see my family if only for a couple of days. They truly mean the world to me.

As for my incredible husband, he is one of a kind. He knows just what to do to make me remember why I love him so. He can melt my heart with his thoughtfulness. He has a heart of gold. Claire is lucky to have a Dad like him and I am incredibly fortunate to spend the rest of my life with him. THANK YOU, Chris! I LOVE YOU!

To my family, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU! I LOVE YOU ALL!!

I think we could have done without the picture... In case anyone is wondering, I am the guy in the middle of the picture, surrounded by all of the fat.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
