60 DAYS TO A NEW ME

OK I have made up my mind. I am giving myself 60 days to pull off the ultimate me transformation.

I have found a really awesome Halloween costume that I want to fit myself into before my party. Not to mention I just want to change my mood as well. I have been in a really depressed state. I've gained weight and have really become in active. BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING BABY. I will be starting a workout, diet, and brain challenge. Hopefully that covers the major areas and the rest will fall into place.

The first week will start tomorrow 8/25/08 - 8/31/08. Here are a list of my goals for the week

1. Kick my caffeine a.k.a coca cola



2. Start a diet



3. Run or walk twice a day



4. Start school again

I think that is enough for one week. I will try to keep you posted each day or at least each week. Here is a picture of the costume that I dream to fit in.

Something New

Ok I am tired of looking at the depressing post on my site when I pull it up, sooooo I am going to write about something else.

I am going to give blogger ville a run down of some movies that we have watched recently. Saturday we took the little monk to see Space Chimps. I highly recommend you to wait until it comes out on video. They show most of the funny parts on the previews. It didn't keep Monks attention very well. I am sure when it comes out on video we will eventually buy it.

The next movie that we watched was Rocky. Yuck. To bloody and gross for me. Sugarbear liked it. Defiantly a guys movie. This one will probably make it to our DVD rack only because of my husband. It is really gross

Spiderwick chronicles was a good movie. I let my 3 year old watch it. I really think that it is suited for a little older crowd. The Monk enjoyed it and wanted to watch it again. He enjoys movies with dragons, goblins things like that. I know a little twisted for such a young viewer. This one was nothing compared to Beowulf. He really liked that one.

Bank Job. What to say about this. It was weak. That is really about all I can say about it.


That's about it for movies today.

Cheating

This is a post a little out of the normal but I just cant seem to shake it. Let me give you the low down of what is going on. A person I know has just found out that his wife has been cheating on him for a few years now. What a shock. I really feel sorry for the children they have together. I am sure they are the ones who will hurt more from the divorce than anyone. He has become very depressed and will barely talk to anyone. It is just sad.

The reason this is weighing on my mind is because they seemed so good together. He comes from a very religious background. His wife volunteers at the YMCA. He has a very good job. There life seemed so perfect and happy. I have to say I was shocked not of the cheating, but of the person doing the cheating. I really would have figured him to have cheated. Some of the comments he makes and just how he acts I really would have thought him to stray. I am just puzzled.

It seems lately that women are becoming more and more of the ones who are cheating what is going on with the world. I am very worried about him.

"J" Bouquet Contest

I almost missed out on the contest http://sunnylittleblog.blogspot.com/ posted for our friend "J" http://musingsfromleftfield.blogspot.com/. I have been checking periodically to see if anyone else has blogged lately and didn't see anything. Last minute about 8pm I checked and found this contest. The rules are to make a wedding bouquet for "J". The catch is that you couldn't use flowers or plants.

Since her wedding is a beach wedding I used shells, ribbon, and tulle. Unfortunately my photo taking skills really suck. The bouquet is actually much prettier in real life. Having said that I still posted the pictures for the contest. "J" I want you to know that I burned my self, I cut myself, and even yelled at myself. But every minute was worth it for you.

Being a Child Star

I am needing to find out if anyone in blog land can help me. I am interested in getting my son started in modeling and acting. He is very photogenic and has a wonder personality. I have search the web for some local agents and some talent shows. I would like any advise anyone could give. I am afraid that if I go to see an agent I wont know what to ask or look out for. I have contacted a few stores such as Target and Sears to see how to get him in the ads and was told I needed an agent. Help Help and Help.

Birthday Surprise

I am so proud of myself. I pulled off the best birthday surprise yet. I hustled to the last minute to make Saturday a wonderful day for my mother. It was her 58th birthday. I know, not a mild stone but it was something that was well needed.

We ordered BBQ from Poor Pollocks catering, a cake from Julies Cupcake Kitchen, wonderful dips from Tastefully Simple, and lots of fruit.

The most touching thing of the evening was my husband and my mother. My husband worked really hard all day to make sure that the yard was in perfect shape for the party. My mother told him thanks for doing such a wonderful job on it and he told her that it was not a problem because she was worth it. This brought tears to her eyes. Which in turn made me cry. My mom is not a very sentimental person but this party really got to her. I was so excited that it was such a success.
