Snooowww!

I yearn for snow days like only children do. I love them! Intense feelings of jealous fill me when I hear of snow days for my friends in Massachusetts and Korea. Yes, even Korea has had a few snow/monsoon days since I left. None for me while I was there mind you. That's the way it goes, folks. I guess I should be happy that I bring happy, delightful weather that anyone can handle, but I am not! I want to be held up inside my house, snuggling with my children, hanging out in my jammies, messing around for a whole entire day.
Well, my dear friends, I am soooo pleased to share that we had a 2 hour snow delay this morning! Yipppeee! It was a glorious extra 2 hours! I made muffins, cleaned a little, completed a couple orders, hung out in my jammies, organized a few things for our trip and simply enjoyed. Chris probably enjoyed it a bit less than I as he was out shoveling the 6 inches from our sidewalk and driveway, but it was lovely. Simply lovely.

We leave tomorrow for Portugal! I am finally excited! It took awhile as I have been battling a cough and now cold for the past 10 days, not to mention Valentine's preparation, Claire's little party, my workload, and on and on. One thing after another! Anyway, I am finally there--EXCITED. It is going to be in the 50's and 60's and while that isn't exactly hot, it is warmer than the 20's and low 30's that we've been having.

We are also booking our tickets for the cruise today after work. Yahoo! Hopefully, our ship will be fully powered for the entire 7 days and no issues arise, though I wouldn't mind getting another cruise for free ;)

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 ...

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 ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
