Patches & Stuff
Yayyyyy! I finally got a few request for my patch and patches in return for my quilt. Please take a look at the patch owners sites.
Niece's Christening
Well the christening is coming up soon, November 2, 2003. I have received some RSVP's and was starting to get a bit concerned because not many have called. I figure most will show up without calling but I need to let the restaurant know exactly how many are coming. Today, I went to the gym with the kids for a basketball clinic and when I came in to check my messages, there were some RSVP's. Yayyyyy!
Now that I am feeling better about that, I am gonna have to worry about what I am gonna wear. I was gonna wear a dress BUT I want to be comfy so I decided to wear slacks and a nice blouse. Does anyone have anything I can borrow? I only have capri pants and t-shirt like shirts.
Craft Fair
The craft fair I am gonna do with my cuzzy is coming up. It's not until December 3, 2003, but I know time is going to fly by. I can't believe that the year will soon be coming to an end. It seems like it was the new year just a few weeks ago. Anyhoo, I've been so busy out of the house that I really need to get working on my craft fair stuff. I know cuzzy will be kicking me in da booty if I don't. I'm kind of excited about doing my very first craft fair and at the same time kicking myself in the butt for wanting to do it. Once the christening is over, I will be able to dedicate more time to my scrapbook photo albums.
I wanted to do a second craft fair two weeks after cuzzy's but I'm thinking that might be too too much on my plate. I am struggling to keep above water as it is. We'll see!
Diet Update
I am doing good on my diet. I have managed NOT to cheat. Can you believe it? When I have been on past diets, I always have a cheat day. I don't normally go way off on this cheat day but things that I crave when I am on the diet, I try to eat a little bit of so I don't crave it anymore. It usually works. I haven't been really craving anything as of lately. I'm thinking its because the christening is coming up soon and I don't wanna look like a whale baptizing a little baby girl. Ha!
I am really thinking about switching what diet I remain on after the christening. I am on Atkins right now but I think I might switch to Weight Watchers. Who knows! I may go off the diet completely after the christening. I hope I stay on it long enough to lose 40 pounds first. Thats my goal.
So I hear you asking, "how much have you lost already?" Ummmmm, I don't think I have lost anything yet. Maybe a pound. I have a funky scale and I don't weigh every day. I need a new scale. I want a digital one.

U P D A T E
I guess I should update my blog since my sisser and cuzzy have been bugging me to do so. Geeezzzz, yanno ya get busy and can't do certain thingys and there they are to hassle me. Don't they know they stress me out even more. As if I need any more stress.
Anyhoo, today wasn't that great of a day. I woke up with lower back pain. Yuh right about here... ** pointing** Well I like to sleep in on my weekends since I hardly sleep during the week. But not this weekend, mom called bright and early to see when the kids were gonna go to her house. I'm like..ummmm mom can I call ya back when I'm awakkkkkeeee! LOL She is so funny because she just replies, "Oh sorry sweetheart, I thought you would be awake by now." Yanno how those old folks are? 6 and 7 am are late to them because they get up at 4 and 5 am. OMG I can't do dat!!!
I wanted to update my page earlier but just sitting here at the puter my back was killing me. So I layed on the couch like one of those tater guys. Ha! I think I watched Ocean's Eleven twice today. I just love the actors in it.
D I E T I N G
I started my diet on Wednesday with one of my sissers, Jodi. We are on the Atkins diet. I've been on this diet before and I've even lost weight on it but I always seem to gain it all back plus some. Just like all the other diets I have ever tried. Geezzzz! Anyhoo, I don't wanna weigh myself yet because I am one of those people that when I don't see that I am losing weight right away, I get very and I do stress VERY discouraged. Then I want to go off the diet. I am hoping to at least lose 40 pounds. I will be happy if I can lose that much. Do you think my goal is too far fetched?
What? You want me to tell you how much I weigh to be sure. Ha! I think NOT!!! Lets just say my big toe weighs 20 pounds. Does that give ya a clue as to how much I weigh now??
Take a look at Big Boned Gurls to see my before pic. LOL!
G I R L S C O U T S
I haven't heard anything back from the Girl Scout lady. I'm not complaining or anything, just wondering what is taking them so long to make a decision. Its been a good 22 days since I turned in my application to become a troop leader. Do you think they didn't like me? Am I too fat to be a Troop Leader? Oh no! Do you think they heard about my blue reeboks?
Thanks cuzzy and chica if they did!

Patches & Stuff
Yayyyyy! I got new patches for my quilt. Please take a look at the patch owners sites.
A New Photo Printer
Today, I talked hubby into buying me a new photo printer so I can print my own pictures out. He bought me my Canon Power Shot S230 digital camera quite awhile ago and said he would get me a printer to follow but he was lagging so I bugged him. Yayyyy! Now I have one!!!
He bought me a HP Photosmart 7960 photo printer. I just got home so I haven't hooked it up just yet. I am sure it will print great! Anything is better than what I have now which is just a regular printer.
A Day With Cuzzy
After I went shopping with hubby, I went to lunch with cuzzy. I picked her up in my truck. LMAO! It took her 20 minutes just to figure how she was gonna get in the truck because it sits kind of high AND she is so freakin' short. Once she finally got in the truck, she didn't want to get out because that meant she would have to get back in again. LOL
We had lunch at a Chinese restuarant. I wanted to try the food out because that is where we will be having my niece's christening party at. I had to make sure everything would taste good and stuff. Yanno how that goes? I think we sat there for hours. Not that we were eating the whole time but because we had so much catching up to do. I've been busy and so has cuzzy so we haven't had time to do our normal lunchies.
After we ate lunch, we both waddled on ova to Big Lots! I haven't been in there for a long time that we shopped for a good 30 minutes or more. Only bought a few little things, like candy. Oh yeah and we both bought laundry baskets. Seems like both of our laundry baskets were broke. And did I say we bought nannies?!?
Then we drove all the way to Folsom so we could shop at Wally Mart. We could have gone to the one closer to home but that one smells like booty! Folks I'm not kidding. Our Wally Mart stinks!!! Can you believe I only spent $6 in there? Thats a record for me!!!
While we were at WalMart, hubby calls and says he is taking the kids to the movies. They went to see Underworld. With hubby and the kids at the movies, cuzzy knew she was stuck with me. I hate being alone!!!
We start on our way home BUT guess what I see? Cuzzy didn't know there was one in Folsom but there is...hehe...A Scrapbookie store!! Yayyyyy! Yanno I couldn't go home without going to a scrapbook store. I only spent $1.90 in there because I already bought the store out. LOL. You guys I have so much scrapbookin' chit that I could open me my own store.
Anyhoo, we ended the night going to Starbucks and sitting outside drinking our drinkies. Cuzzy had a Tazoberry & Cream (grande) and I had a Caramel Frap - extra thick (grande). We sat for the longest time. Laughing about stuff. Remembering back on some memories and laughing again. And just plain laughing.
Finally, I called home when I thought hubby and kids would be home. They just walked in the door so I told them I would be home now that I knew they were home. Again, yanno I don't like being alone. Its scares the ba-jee-bees outta me!!! I got rid of cuzzy -- errr I mean I took cuzzy home and then headed home myself. Wahhh laaaaa, here I am!!!
Thankies for reading!

O V E R W H E L M E D
Have you ever been so busy that you just get overwhelmed? You don't know where to start because you have so much to do. Well, I'm at that point today. I went shopping with my sisser and I probably shouldn't have because I have so much stuff on my mind. I have so much to do! Arghhhhhhhhh, I don't know where I want to start or even if I want to start.
I am kicking myself in the butt right now because I signed up to be my daughters girl scout troops leader. This is going to require that I meet once a week with girls that range in ages 9-11. With meeting once a week, I will have to plan things to do at the meetings. This will require preparation because I hate being un-organized. I'm not kicking myself because I don't want to be a leader but because I think, I once again took too much on my plate!
I have been making myself feel guilty because I haven't been online much at all lately. I know my backgammon ladder is probably suffering from this a bit. Things seem to go much better when cuzzy and I are online. I don't think she has been able to be in there either. She has her hands full with work and stuss. Evidentially, I'm not making myself feel too guilty because I'm not in there now. But I'm overwhelmed, I tell ya!
Then there is my mom. Those of you who know me, know I take care of my mom. Well, I have been falling behind in getting her laundry done. I really need to take care of that tomorrow. I am gonna have to because she is running outta clothes to wear. And yanno what, we don't want her running around nakie! OMG! No, really we don't want that. **thinking** Maybe I better wash her clothes tonight with that in mind. LOL!
That Time Is Coming!!!
You ladies know what I'm talking about. I can tell because you can say "Boo!" to me and tears just start rolling down my cheek. Today, I was reading a scrapbooking magazine. My sisser and I were trying to get ideas and I'm reading and crying at some of the freakin' stories. I swear any other time, I would have been like, "Oh that was nice or sumpin" but not this time. I am so freakin' emotional right now.
Something Everyone Should Know
One should always wear socks with your Blue Reeboks! If you don't, things will come back to bite you in the butt twenty years later! You never know when you and your cuzzy are gonna try on clothes at Lane Bryants. Thats all I have to say 'bout dat!
My Cuzzy!
I was gonna copy my cuzzy and do this big long blog entry but I think I should try and go into Halsoft for a bit to check on the ladder. Ta for now!

New Patches & Stuff
Yayyyyy! I got new patches for my quilt. Please take a look at the patch owners sites.
TRUCK ACCESSORIES
I've been busy. I finally took a couple pictures of my truck. You can see them here. These pictures are of my truck before I have added any accessories.
Yesterday, I went an ordered a dash board cover. Black, of course. I should get that soon. Today, I went and ordered some mud flaps for front and back. I should get those on Friday. I also bought my Pilot chrome stainless steel side step bars (nerf bars). All I have to say is WOW, they look so good AND I installed them all by myself. Okies well I did use hubby to tighten all the bolts but thats it.
I'm gonna take some more pictures tomorrow so you all can see my bars. Yayyyy!
Okies thats it for now, I am sleepy!
One More Thing
I was feeling really fat today. If you wanna know more, please read here.
