Rainy days and Saturday's...

Yesterday we woke up to the weather being cold and raining. I LOVED it! It was time to turn on the fireplace and warm up my hot cider. My sister and nephews are here for the weekend and we had intentions to go to the pumpkin patch and have some good ol' fashion fun but the wet kept us from our plans and we had to come up with Plan B.

We went to a costume store in Westminster that looked like a castle. It was huge and yet it was incredibly crowded. It seems that everyone had the same idea as we did regarding Halloween and rain. As you walked into the store they have an impressive display of gory (plastic) dead bodies and zombies. Surprisingly enough none of the kids were afraid of these monsters. I wasn't sure if it was because they understood they weren't real or if I have been watching too many horror movies in front of them and they were all now desensitized. We made our way to the back of the store where all of the costumes were. That was also where all of the crowed was. We inched our way through the many isles of costumes on display. Some were funny, some were scary and some were just down right stupid...like the condom wrapper. Why would you want to be a condom wrapper? Whatever. My sister will be accompanying me and my wonderful and supportive husband to the fun and fantastical fair of the Witches Ball and needed some proper attire. After a growling hour and half and several hundred dollars later we finally left and headed out to Isis to attain our tickets for the Ball.

At Isis, of course, we purchased several items other then the tickets and then headed out to Toxic Hell (aka Taco Bell). For a mere $24 you can feed a family of seven. Then came the wallet kicker. We went to IKEA again. I have to stop going there. I love that store and it loves it when I walk out of there stooped over in shame and bogged down with hundred of dollars of furniture and other assorted nix-knacks that I could have probably lived without.

It was very late when we headed home and I lulled myself to sleep with the smell of freshly put together furniture and clean linen. Note to self for the future...rainy days and Saturdays don't get me down they make me broke. : )

Until next time...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Nail Journal Update

No, my five wonderful readers, I have not forgotten about you. I went camping! Yes, yours truly went into the woods and camped. Actually I drove through the woods to a cabin. But before you say that's not real camping. Let me elaborate. It was a one room cabin, no running electricity, no running water, no restroom. See...that is camping.  And before you say "ewww" there was an outhouse down the dirt road for us to use. Now you can say ew.  Really it wasn't so bad.  We camped out in Hermit Park by Estes Park Colorado .  So we were out there for 4 nights, 5 days. That's a lot when you have to ration water, keep your own food cold in the cooler (which this wasn't too hard since there was still snow on the ground) and figure out lighting at night. Now in all fairness, the cabin had propane lighting and a stove with a heater, Not too bad.  Why am I telling you this and what does this have to do with nails? I'll tell you.  As you ...
