Pictures posted...

Not much time to post tonight (we'll ignore that I've had all day, hehe) but I did get the pictures from yesterday posted.

Go see!!

Dominic's 1st birthday!


Today has been SUCH a long day. I have a lot that I wanted to write about...but it's 3:45 am and I'm exhausted. Even with my exhaustion...I'm hesitating going to sleep. The reasons are stupid. I stay up really late on weekends because the sooner I go to bed at night, the sooner I wake up to a new day. For weekends...that's one day closer to going back to work. Blah.

Dominic's party this morning was fun :-) He's SUCH a cute boy!! I'll post more pictures and talk about it a little more tomorrow, if I get the chance.

Long Long entry...lol

Wow, I feel so behind on so much. There's been a LOT going on with me, and I'm not sure where to start.

I went to the dr. last week, and I'm officially down 45 lbs. YAY!!! I would feel MUCH better about it if the difference could really be seen...but I'm still ok with that :-) 45 lbs in 2 months is great, and I know it is!! I just hope that I can lose another 35ish by the time Disney World pops up (September 5).

I'm SO excited for Disney World!! I've never been :-) It's going to be a large group, and I'll have to rent one of those scooter things to keep up...but it'll be fun. We'll be having character meals almost every day (which with as excited as I am...you would think I was 5). We're also planning on attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party :-). The other adults aren't dressing up...but I'm considering going as Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. How fun would that be?!? The more I think about it, the more fun I think it would be for me to dress up, even if I can't afford a $75 costume...lol. I'm just hoping that I'll be to a point where I'm comfortable enough having my picture taken again...that I can finally have pictures of me again without the tears. We'll see how that goes.

After that...I have my trip to Germany to look forward to! I've been so excited talking to Tammie about where we can go and what we can do while I'm there. I really can't wait! I was telling her that I wish that I could extend my time and stay over Christmas. My mom is coming with me, though, and she won't be able to stay extra, and I would like to be there with her while she travels home. I really can't wait to see what all we can fit in, though!

Right now? I have enough other stuff going on. There's this whole long story about the pipe to my water heater leaking, and there being all this damage inside the walls downstairs. There's a LOT more to this story...but as of now...the HOA is saying that I'm liable, and that I have to pay to get it all fixed. I contacted my insurance company, and they're fighting it. SO...there's a lot going on.

Tonight, I went with 2 of my sisters to see No Reservations. It was SO cute!!! Very much a girlie movie...and all kinds of pukey...BUT...I loved it :-) I also finished Harry Potter at 3:30 this morning (which caused me to get to work an hour and a half late, heh). I have so many thoughts and feelings about the book...but I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't finished yet :-)

On another note...Paul Potts (the guy who won Britain's Got Talent) already has a cd coming out next Tuesday!! I'm really excited for it. I was reminded of this when the song that he auditioned with (Nessun Dorma) was in the movie I saw tonight. I LOVE it.

Ok, that's more than enough for one update, heh. It's past my bedtime!

So I keep trying to be upbeat and positive about my lack of weight loss...and today it just didn't happen.

My friend at work had her surgery 2 weeks after me. Today she let me know that she passed her 50 lb mark. I'm SO SO SO excited for her!!! That's wonderful!!! It did, however, make me more depressed. I know I shouldn't let it get to me. Her success has NOTHING to do with my lack of success. Still...I fought the tears all day. Seems silly.

On a much happier note, though, I did get 3 scrapbook pages done over the weekend :-) Considering the fact that before this weekend I only had ONE done at all? I think that's great!!

You can see them here.

I was gonna post more stuff, but I just got a call from a friend at the airport. His ride didn't show up. SO I'm apparently headed out there. We'll see if I get back to this when I get back.

11:30 and restless...

I hate when I get all productive on Sunday nights. This isn't an uncommon thing. I have a whole list of things that I want to get done...and they go through my head over and over again. I get completely ADD, and just want to get stuff done around here. I start picturing my condo being completely put together (after 2 years) and I can suddenly see what I need to do to make it happen. This almost never happens on a Friday or Saturday night...when I can sleep in the next morning. The most common night is Sunday night. Because...that makes the most sense :-P. For example, I was just (at 11:00 at night) measuring rooms and windows. Rooms to see if I can rearrange them the way that I want to, and the windows because I want to buy new blinds. All kinds of craziness.

With that, I'm going to try to go to bed without taking the time to move a few things from my bedroom to my extra room like I really want to. If I don't get back, I hope you all have a great week!!
