Oh TV, Oh TV, Where for art thou TV?


I love my TV. I watch way too many shows, DVR those that I miss and find myself watching those I don't even care about. Simply because it is there. Since being pregnant, I have lost much of the weight--40+ pounds, but considering I gained nearly 60 pounds, I definitely had alot to lose. I think that may be the first time I included that information on this blog. Anyway, it was way too much. I am now paying the price. I am slowing getting rid of it, but it is a huge work in progress. Before we attempt Baby #2, I am promising myself to get back down to my good old size 10. I have a bit to go. You're probably wondering how this is all related. Time is ticking. Baby #2 needs to come soon, so the weight needs to go--along with the TV. I am hoping this is the incentive I need to get my big bootie off this couch and get moving. However, since in ND (where I had NO cable--did I mention NONE, NOT A, ZIP, NILCH? And for all you smarties out there--yes, there is cable in ND, but since my Grandma's house is sitting empty, they cancelled the Direct TV)I have been sitting here watching our 12 stations, 4 of which are in Spanish and 1 in French. It has been kind of painful, but I guess I am doing okay. I miss my DVR. I miss HGTV. I'm not sure I miss the shows exactly, but I miss having the option to watch them if I choose. Chris isn't sure that I will make it through the summer, but it is a challenge I'd love to accept! So, from now on, please don't talk to us about what happened on "Moving Up," "One Tree Hill," "UFC," "The Deadliest Catch," or any other show that is not on PBS. If you have a question about what you missed on "Clifford," "Sesame Street," or "Teletubbies," then hey, I'm your gal. I take that back, I hate "Teletubbies." So for now, let the countdown continue--no extended cable for 9 days and counting.

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 ...
