Curtains

So I have my bathroom curtains completed and hung up. They look so good. I, however, keep forgetting that they are there and always surprise myself when I see them hanging up. So I think that I need a girls night that way people can see them or you can just show up at my house.

Biggest Loser is on tonight!! I'm excited. I'm wondering who the drama queen is going to be this year. The silver team or if someone else is going to come out of the woodwork.

I'm sorry that my blogs are kind of lame I just can't think of anything else to say.

Week 3

So my weight is now 221. Yay I lost one more pound. I have started counting points you know for weight watchers. A friend printed out what foods are and how many points they are. So all the girls at work are doing it with me as well. Then another friend is later today is going to tell me what point I should start at. So we will see how this works out. It's like counting my calories but instead of calories its points.

Three Day Weekend

So it was incredibly nice to have a three day weekend. It was so nice not to have to go to work yesterday. The start of the weekend was normal just hanging out with Bill. We had plans to go to a movie for cameo mans birthday but Bill was called out to work. Sucky. Then when we got home coming down the huge mountain Bill got called out again. Before that second call we could have gone to the movie.

Bill called me close enough to the movie that we decided that maybe we could get there. The showing was at 2:45. I drove up to Bills office, since he dropped me off at home before he went back to work for the second call out. I met him up there he jumped in the car and we raced off. It had to be a really nice weekend driving down the portlanders to the coast clogging the highway to snail speeds. So when the clock struck 2:45 we were at Home Depot picking out curtain rods and new hose sprayer. The curtain rod I was thinking for the kitchen window but when we got home it was to short so I'm going to use it for the bathroom.

Which leads me to Mondays activities. For the first time in my life I bought fabric. I got a deep rich green for my bathroom and a shimmering red for the kitchen. I started on the bathroom curtains and if you look really closely to the top I can't freehand so for the life of me. I was free handed it because my sewing machine wouldn't go through all the layers of fabric. Then you can really notice that I'm new at sewing because my curtains and different widths. I love it. I'm not the picky sewer like my mom. I'm not going to redo anything because it takes to long. However the way that I'm going to hang them in bathroom I don't think that you will be able to notice. The curtains are only about a 1/2 inch difference between each other. I'm so excited though for them.

The good thing is that I got to hang out with the decaf addict which was so nice. I love days off.

Week 2

Well my week 2 went better then last week. I've lost a pound. On my way. Hehe. Well it is a place to start and makes me feel better. I'm now 222. I hopefully will lose maybe 2 this week and 2 the week after to get to my 5 lbs.

It's only 8 months away going to Utah. I think that once I have my doctors appointment and get onto good meds I might be able to lose 10 lbs instead of 5 lbs in a month. I don't know I just don't want to get my hopes up. I'm going to ask my doctor about maybe a different drug if there is any.

If I was a Criminal what would I be...

So, I was thinking this morning about things that I could write about because nothing really happens. So there I was in the shower actually thinking if I could be a criminal I would be in the Mob. It sounds more alluring the a triad, or the IRA, or an assassin. So anyway, I was at work thinking the whole thing over. I would be in the mob because they have a brotherhood almost, territories everyone goes to a don and the same don. There's loyalty within (sort of). You can go to nice restaurants and sit in the back booth and have it on the house. You have your hands in everything that is interesting and important. You usually have really nice houses and you have a construction company so you can dispose of bodies. You can eat as much Italian as you want. You get to wear nice suits all the time. Obviously this is all based off of movies that I have watched or even books that I have read. It sounds the most interesting at of all the crime organizations. There's just so many pros to it. Of course I would be the boss so that I would have my own cronies. And of course I would be really rich because I am a good criminal. I could hide things really well. I would do my own bookkeeping that way no one could take advantage of my money because even though I have my loyal followers I wouldn't trust anyone. I think that it would be pretty nice. Well anyway I hope that it was fun to read.

Was Stressed A Little Bit

So I was a little stressed the past couple of days. Bill has a commercial drivers license (CDL) and with that he has a hazmat endorsement. Since his birthday was yesterday his license expires. So knowing that he went in on Monday because to get another Drivers License (update it anyway) he has to take a hazmat test. So Monday he went in to take the test and he didn't pass by one question, He went in on Tuesday and he didn't pass again, He had one more chance to take the test so we crammed like mad Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The reason that I was stressed was he gets three chances to take the test before he has to weight a month to take it again and with that in mind he would have lost his job for at least a month or more. Bitting my fingernails waiting for him to give me a call when he went in on Wednesday the 14 to see if he passed his test. HE PASSED!! I am so glad that he passed. It has relieved my mind he can keep his job. You have to know Bill as well, He hates tests and he's not a good test taker.

Also, I do have to say that I'm the worst wife ever. I forgot to say Happy Birthday to him yesterday. I had it all planned out the night before that I was going to wake him up and say happy birthday. But yesterday morning I woke up and the only thoughts that I had was of working out. I was so upset when he made the comment that he was tired and asked if I remembered what the date was. When I realized what I had done I broke out into tears. I couldn't believe what I had done. That tops my charts of the worst things that I have done. Forgetting to say Happy Birthday!

So today is the 15th and and 1:30pm I was married to this wonderful, handsome man in a beautiful church 4 years ago. Yay. I'm excited. I have to go out shopping today so that I can get Bill a present. I'm not sure what to get him so I'll peruse aisles waiting to find the best thing for him. Anyway, I going to go get ready for work.

Week 2

So this is the start of week two and so I weighed myself. Ugh. So disappointing. I'm the same blasted weight. I think that I have to step it up a notch and work out even more. I have been counting my calories and only eating between 1200 - 1500 calories but I think that I am not working out enough to burn even more calories then I'm taking in. I have been working out for a half an hour almost everyday. I haven't been doing weekends though because I haven't been home. Anyway, I'm not going to bore you with anymore of this. Hopefully next week will be better. Anyway, off to work out.
