It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

In blog land anyways. I took the liberty today of updating my blog & myspace to appear more holiday spirited.


I also tried out this 'header' thing. The little man in the picture with me is my best friends son, Logan =) I'm his auntie Mel, and I love love LOVE that little boy. He just turned one in September. Isn't he just a doll?


My cold is getting better. I still have a stuffed up nose, sore throat and a cough, but it's better than it was. I'm tired of being cough riddin, thats for sure.


I'm going to try to convince my parents to get the Christmas stuff out soon. It could be a battle like it is every year, or I just might do it myself. We'll see. I need motovation. And a shower.


I've been in bed all day. =)

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you have a better day than I will. This cold is getting worse as days pass. I lost my voice last night along with the two things you NEED for Thanksgiving dinner. Smell & taste. Sigh.


Enjoy your dinner a tad bit more today, for my sake =)

Hi, I'm ill... again.

My annoying cough has turned into a hard core cold. Aches, pains, cough, runny nose, stuffed up, sinus headache. I have so much gunk in my lungs it hurts.


I hardly get sick. And when I do, it takes me down HARD.


I hope I'm better by tomorrow. Please, please, please....

Cough.

Well, I guess I'm not totally sick, but I feel gross. I have the worst cough on the planet and I can't seem to keep my head straight today. Hopefully this thing goes away before Wednesday. I will not have my pre-Thanksgiving shopping day ruined by a nagging cough.


I noticed a little while ago that I have had a ton of foreign visitors lately to my blog. Weird huh? Italy, Romania, Spain, Germany, Indonesia and another one. I think Venezuela. It's kinda cool when you think about it, but I'm wondering why all of a sudden I've got people looking at my blog overseas.


On Sunday night I got to talk to my cousin in Kuwait. He caught me on facebook on his break. I miss him a ton, and so does the rest of our family. But he told me it's for the best and it's really not that bad. He's guarding an oil rig in the Persian Gulf. Hopefully he'll come home in Janurary of Feburary on leave. We'll see.


Zach and I's three year anniversary is on Friday. He'll be at work that night and I'll be with the girls shopping, so that's that. Last year it was on Thanksgiving, so no real celebration there either. Jeez! Oh well. Maybe four years we'll get to do something special. Hah.

I'm lagging.

I have had nothing to blog about. At all. I mean, unless you want to hear about wiping 3 year old bottoms and time outs.


The California weather is driving me banana's. Were in the period of it being absolutely gorgeous outside, and you think it's going to be a perfect weather day. But then you walk out your front door and realize your front window was lying to you. It'd colder than heck outside! I made the mistake this morning of walking outside with wet hair. I'm still freezing.


I'm really excited for Thanksgiving, as usual. No idea where it will be held for my family this year or who will be attending, but never the less.. I love a day about yummy food.


After the holidays, preferably January first of 2010, I'm going to do a raw food diet for twenty days. Try to clear out my body and start over with eating habits. Basically, I'll be eating fruits, veggies, nuts, oats.. anything organic and natural. Then after the twenty days I'll introduce white meats and keep red meat for special occasions only. I really could care less for red meat anyway. I never eat it unless its hamburger, but I'm kissing that goodbye for ground chicken and turkey.


I'm not sure what I want to do on the dairy front. I don't drink that much milk and I prefer soy milk anyways. I don't know. I guess we'll see when the time comes. I know I need to lose a fair amount of weight, and I think completely retraining myself on what I should and shouldn't be eating will help me loads. I've tried just watching what I eat and smaller portions, but I always ended up eating too much of something of just not caring.


Wow. For someone who has had nothing to blog about, I got a decent amount out today! Haha. I thing the real reason is I'm at work and I really don't want to watch 'Go Diego, Go!' Trent is sucked into it as we speak. He's answering the questions and repeating words in Spanish. Its fun =)


Anyways, I better get to getttin'. Long day ahead. Happy Monday!

November already..

Time flies when you're having fun.


Nothing new going on around here. Halloween was great! Had a lot of fun. Daylight savings helped out too. The night wouldn't have been as fun if Daylight Savings didn't fall on it.


Zach started a new job tonight. He works from 5pm till 1am. I hate sitting by myself at night. Hopefully he likes it. It pays more than his last job, thank goodness. Bonus- he gets paid weekly! Woohoo!


I'm looking forward to colder days, holidays, all that good stuff coming up.


I think I'm gonna go jump in a hot bath & read or something. I'm so bored, it's starting to physically hurt.
