I'm in. This is going to be so hard. Let me know if you are participating Id love to hear how your experience is.

Isn't technology great then end of a decade

Ten years ago we didn't have the iPod or iPhone. Cell phones only made calls. I am typing this on my iPod touch something that was infathomable ten years ago! What a difference a decade makes.

In fact this time ten years ago little did I know but in about a month I'd find out I was pregnant. That changed so much of my life. This last ten years have been great. I only hope the next ten hold great blessings.

I know the next ten years of k's life are going to be alot different than these first ten. It makes me sad to think by the end of the next decade she will be all grown up.

I hope the next ten years hold great blessing for you and your family as well!

Ps I received an award. I will post it next week when I have time to sit down at my computer when the hubs and k are at work and school

Happy New Year!

I hope Everyone Had a blessed Christmas.

I have a few minutes so I decided to blog. It seems like forever since I've been able to blog! Last week was super busy and this week the hubby is off all week, so we will be trying to do stuff.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.

Our Christmas was awesome.. K got everything she wanted and then some!! She even go her zhu zhu hamsters from my parents. I'll have to admit even though I boycotted them, they are pretty darn cute!

I got an Ipod touch and a Kendle and a few other things. I am so addicted to my ipod touch and all the apps. The hubby has had an iphone for a while now, so he doesn't really get excited over this stuff anymore.. I LOVE It.. and my Kendle is great! I love that I can take my books everywhere with me!!

Did you get something for Christmas that just stood out?

UGGG I am about to throw this computer.. ever since I downloaded Window's 7 the curser goes all over the place!!! I can not find anywhere to fix the sensitivity on the mouse pad either!!! UGGGG

I hope to read some blogs now.. It's been a while, with all the excitement and my parents being in town and all.

What do you eat on Christmas Eve?

What do you eat on Christmas Eve. Christmas is full of cooking and a big meal. You don't want leftovers. Do you go out, order pizza, make sammies?

I'm not sure what we are doing. I think we will have soup. Something light. I've been eating mostly raw veggies today (trying to "clean" everything out). Tomorrow is more raw veggies for me, but the family needs MORE lol.

I am just curious what everyone does. I need ideas :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone. Sorry I haven't blogged much lately. DH is off work so we've spent time together while K was a school. She's out now.

I won't have time to blog much this week or read many. I am going to miss everyone!

It did snow here. I'll post pictures after the holidays when I have time. If you want to see some, you can go to my twitter. I put some on twitpic.

ALso K will be using my computer a lot to play her math games. Since she got a 'C' on her progress report, I'm going to let her.


I'm off to have a quick breakfast and workout. I'm waiting on the Fedex overnight guy. So I need to get my butt in gear.


I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed holiday. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

my hair experiment..

I posted about a week about about washing my hair daily (a few times daily) and how my hair dresser said that's not good for my hair. A lot of you said you only wash every other day. I tried to only go to every other day. MAN was that hard. It is getting easier though. I do have to put some baby powder on my hair the 2nd day so it doesn't look like an oily mop. I did notice it seemed to look better when I styled it the 2nd day. I like that alot.

Here are some pictures of my hair experiment. I think I'll keep to every other day.


This is day 1. Freshly washed and styled.



Day 2, didn't get washed, but had to use baby powder to absorb some of the oil. I think I can do this!

REAL winter coats... and being frugal

Happy Friday!

I never thought I would be so excited about getting a coat. Since I've always lived in the south a leather jacket or a pea coat always sufficed. Here it's COLD! So after spin class today, I went straight to the store (the BX here on the base). I bought myself and K new REAL winter coats. They were 50% off LUCKY ME. I was buying them anyway but the fact that they were half off was even better. I also needed a hat and gloves. The kind of gloves that you can build a snowman with, that won't soak through.

Women's gloves are so expensive. I found some I liked then I went to look for K's size. She has an old pair of mine that she wears so she doesn't really need any. I tried them on in the kids department. BINGO this is where it really pays off to be small. I bought kids ski gloves for $4.99! They are black with pink details. If you know me you know that is perfect for me! I also a few days ago needed a belt. So I went to the kids dept. that is where I have gotten mine before. I was just seeing if I could fit one. They are at least 50% cheaper than women's belts. Even though I've gained weight, I got a Large and it fits great! I even have room to spare.

Although I would LOVE to have long legs and be so much more taller. I would love a longer torso! It is times like this that I am thankful I am a short/small person! I saved so much money on the gloves and belt!



This is me in my new coat..cozy! and my kids gloves! lol... Excuse how I look I did just come from spin class!!!
