Okay, having too much fun here in Texas! More than a girl can handle. Today's festivities included:
Woke up, made coffee, vacuumed.
Read emails, worked out.
For lunch: 1 cheese stick, turkey, and carrots, yum!
Shower.
Vacuumed then had dinner.
Dinner: salad with grilled chicken.
Snack: almonds and walnuts and craisins (mix) my own personal trail mix recipe.
Okay, I know your all jealous of my life, so to make you really jealous, I think I'll go vacuum.

20 Is Now 30......
Actually maybe 25, I've dropped a few.
Okay people, I have been wanting to lose 20 lbs for about 5 years now. And in the last 6 months, I have gained another 10, so there you have it 30 lbs! This is so hard for me to even grasp! I was the skinniest girl in my class.....every class! Elementary, Middle, and High School! I was also the skinniest of my fiends in College....Even after 2 kids, I was skinny, probably up to about 38 years old....then came "I'd like to lose 5 lbs, I said that for a good 5 years, then eight, then 10, then 15....and on and on and on.
I am a broken record, I can hardly listen to myself anymore, I'm sure no one else can either....it's time to shit or get off the pot! (sorry) So my beautiful skinny daughter, who as most of you know ran track in college....tells me to run a marathon, NO WAY, I can't even bring myself to think about that...torture, then she says 1/2 marathon....hmmmm....13 miles? NO WAY! I have to be realistic...a 10K that's for me...I know I can do it, I've done them before. NO, what a whimp, I need a challenge, one that makes me run, and train hard....I found it, a 15K-9 miles....I think I could do that? I don't know-scary....maybe, pray for me. :)

Flea For Texas.....Flea For Tennesee...
This has been my last week in this "new apt." the complex is really not new, but new to us. And it is nice, freshly painted, new carpeting, we have no pets, but....I have fleas!
For those of you who are my facebook friends you have probably read these posts....
It's not T for Texas...it's flea for Texas! Fleas! Lord help me! :(
flea for Texas...flea for Tennessee...lalalala
Flee fleas! Carpets were sprayed. Carpets were vacuumed. NO fleas in sight! Does this make me a flea-flicker? What is a flea-flicker? I am losing it.....
It's official, I am the vacuum queen......3-4 times a day, living in flea paranoia will do that to a girl....Sorry fb friends......but no TV, Internet, and fleas tend to make a cowgirl cranky!!!!
I truly am the vacuum queen, and I really do vacuum at least twice a day now, and yes I am still finding fleas! Okay, it's gotten better and the exterminator said it would take up to 20 days, but do you know what its like to squirm and look at your feet 200 times a day cause you think there is a flea on it????? Can I sue for anxiety? I will give it one more week....then I will have to turn to drastic measures! Oh...slap, another one bites the dust, pesky little critters...good grief, I have moved and gone to hell. :(

Howdy From Texas! Lord Help Me...
Well, here I am...in the lone star state!
I have not blogged in sooooo long. And miss it! But I have been on quite the adventure! I finally moved from Windsor to Fort Worth, but was only in Fort Worth 5 days and had to go to California for a family medical emergency (I'll blog about that later), 3 weeks later, I finally made it back to Texas! My poor hubby...he was still stuck in an Extend America (hotel). But now we are moved into a new apartment and trying to get settled. Which has been very interesting to say the least!
I know that moving is always a bummer, the only thing good about it is you tend to get rid of stuff you don't need! That's the good news.
But all the changes that need to be made, cable, internet, phones, addresses, yada yada. Can you say nightmare???? I don't know if its my bad luck, Murphy's Law, or this frickin' state, but I am on the brink of insanity. We have been in this place for two weeks now and Lord help me.....still no cable tv (direct tv) 10 phone calls, 2 tech visits, service cancelled, suspended, turned on, turned off, on again, all to find our complex is MDU-multi dwelling unit, which means a 3rd party co. has to handle it.....whatever???????Not to mention, AT&T has tuned off our internet service (long story) but they are sending a new modem for wireless, because they sent us the wrong one in the first place! Okay, I know I'm a whiner.....but who are these people....they are in another country....Okay, I'm still whining...did I mention the TV also out in our gym? They are working on the roof....guess I am going to have to get a newspaper to see what the heck is happening out there....

Texas Bound!
If you are wondering where I have been.....Moving! Packing, cleaning, tossing, complaining, crying, ugh! We have to move. Fort Worth, Texas here we come! Whether we want to or not!
We live in such an awesome community, it is very hard to leave. But Mike's job is calling...and we know we are blessed that we have this wonderful job. It is a great company and we are grateful, but it is always hard to leave "home". We have been in Windsor for 5 years and it feels more like home than any other place I've lived. The people here are so amazing. We felt like we were home right away. And the people here are so social....fun, fun, fun! How will I ever survive without them? God has placed us in many different neighborhood's throughout our lives, and we are always blessed to find so many great friends. I am going to stay positive, because I know I will stay in touch with these people for years to come! Thank you Windsor, I love you!

Take Care of Yourself!
I've been gone for awhile... had to go to California to help my family put our 91 year old stepmother in an assisted living facility. Talk about depressing...if you wonder what your future holds for you when you are elderly, spend some time in a nursing home. All I can say is that it is a scary dose of reality! I, for one, do not want to end up in one! So, here we go again....get fit and healthy and stay that way...and yoga! We need to have flexability, we have got to be able to move around, so get with it people...I am!

May 1, 2010!
Please don't tell me it's May 1, 2010!!!!
How did we get here? I think I am still somewhere in the 90's, missing the 80's and longing for the 70's.....Life goes on.
Embrace the day, forget the numbers...the date, my weight, my age, May 1, 2010. The first day of the rest of my life....:0)
