7 Things Meme (2 blogs in one day?! Wow!)

Jaymi the Flip Flop Mamma has a get to know me blog and I thought I'd do one too.
Here you go, 7 strange/different things you may not already know about me

1. Since I got married, my middle name and last name now rhyme. It is annoying.
2. I sleep with my Cardinals blanket. TheOldMan calls it my blankie.
3. I've worn glasses since I was 8. My first pair was pink and plastic. (Awesome, I know)
4. I don't wear my wedding ring. It is too big since I lost 60 lbs. Have I mentioned that? ;)
5. I was part of the gifted program in elementary school. I hated it. It was unstructured learning. Couldn't handle it.
6. I puked on old Busch Stadium. I had NOT been drinking.
7. My first job was at Dairy Queen. It lasted a month.

Merry Christmas. I finally blogged.

Well posting a couple of pictures probably doesn't count as blogging but I really haven't been able to think of anything to blog about. I've started babysitting 13 month old twins so Praise God, we've got a little extra income. We have been blessed already so much this Holiday season and we're especially grateful to God for our family and our incredibly great kid. He is learning everyday and amazing us with his hilarious personality. He is so full of life and a wonderful little human being.
So if I don't blog again this week, Merry Christmas :)

painfully dumb

I urge you to check out Hermano's Blog

He has a video posted on there that will make you sad.
Not crying sad but sad for our future. People like this woman are out there making babies, teaching children, VOTING. The dumb is overwhelming.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I guess

This is the kind of day we've had



Snickerdoodle is cutting a molar and he's not taking it very well. He's been very distraught much of the day and prone to dramatic meltdowns. I gave in and let him have his pacifier and stuffed meerkat even though we usually just let him have them during naps and bedtime.
So I have a splitting headache and decided to send Snickerdoodle to bed an hour early. When TheOldMan gets home from job #2, we'll wake him up and give him a bath and some milk.
For now I'm going to sit and relax with my diet coke and boyscout kettle corn. Which, by the way, I've had atleast once a day for the last week. I'm hopelessly addicted.
That's all for now. I've got a lot of shows on Monday that need my undivided attention.

Oh by the way. Praise Jesus....I'm going to start babysitting in a few weeks. (Money yay!)

Best Money I Ever Spent

I no longer have to pay to go to weight watchers. That's right!
6 weeks ago I got to my goal weight. My BMI is no longer classified as overweight or obese (like it was.) It is classified as Healthy.
Today I received my Weight Watchers Lifetime membership.
As long as I stay at goal weight (or up to 2lbs over) I do not have to pay.

When I got pregnant with Snickerdoodle two years ago, I was at my highest weight. I was devestated and thought that I was doomed to be fat forever.
Weight Watchers has been so easy. Well, it's not easy but it's like childbirth; the outcome makes you forget how hard it was. I know myself and I know that if it was too hard and didn't work, I would have given up. I do not like to work hard.

If you need to lose weight, go to a meeting. It is worth the time and money.
