Still on Vaca...Returning Soonish though...
Hello my lovlies...
I am still at mom and dad's. I am returning home this week though and that means: pictures, posts and lots and lots of random crap from my brain! It will be So. Exciting. Er, at least not quite as boring as leaving the same damn thing up here all the time. Sorry.
Bethiclaus and I are scheming together to be big dieters! Her new years resolution is to get to 140 by July 4th. Mine is to get to 130 by July 4th! I love having a diet buddie! (Mostly because non-dieting entities cannot understand how heinous it is to have to make a meal out of celery and rice cakes with butter flavored sprinkles.)
In that vein, I have a big suprise (bigger than you think...and maybe nauseating to boot) for you next week when I get home...It will be the kick off of my diet and may actually scare me into submission.
My girlfriend emilita found out that she is having a little boy this spring and I am so darned excited for her and yes...i may potentially have thought something like "oh, he will be such a nice boy for Sophie to marry, from such good people and with good morals and values"...But I swear, I will try not to think that way for another 20 years...it makes me sound like a 50 year old Jewish woman!
Okay, I tried to start a flickr account, and you know what? It was more of a pain than it was worth. I already have shutterfly and snapfish accounts and now to have to sit and wait while pics upload to flickr? it is too much for me. Oh, also, there are a few people that I know that like to have pics mailed to them, either in print or email and I am just UP TO HERE in pictures...I need like one central program that will let me order prints or books or whatever and also link to this blog.
Okay last thing:
New Years Resolutions:
1. Lose this damn weight. I weighed 191 when Sophie was born and I weigh about 160 today. I want to weigh 130. but will settle for 135.
2. Learn how to post links in my blog. (CHECK). I had to actually go and read the stupid manual online, but I finally know how and I am thinking I am the very cool red-headed step child of the Blog community now for learning this. (as you can see, I have posted two links in this entry and woah...i am exhausting myself with the coolness).
3. Redo this blog. So i went ahead and paid for the blog...sigh...which means i am committing to doing it now. (the last year was a personal-beta for me). So now, I need to come up with some things to make this look nice....am sad that Zoot gave up on this stuff...sniff, sniff...
4. Stop crying every single time the baby cries. I can stand her little fussy stuff, but when she is just sobbing and crying and I can't figure it out, i feel like a total failure and cry along with her. This. Must. Stop.
5. Finish the cute little quilt i made for bethi's daughter...I gave up on it after our meeting last year fell through, but I really do think that later is better than never, so I am going to at least try to get the stitching done...or mail her the pieces, i don't know which one.
That's all. That is all I have for now. These aren't really good resolutions are they? These are more like short term goals. I need to think this through a little more.
