Out with Halloween and in with Christmas!!!!

I know, I know....I'm jumping the gun a little, but I love the holidays!!! Thanksgiving and Halloween are now behind us and Christmas is sneeking up on us pretty quickly!!! I just finished putting all the Halloween decorations away and started going through the Christmas stuff!!!! Don't worry...I didn't actually take any out, just looked!! haha!!!! I'm going to try and purge some stuff (cuz I want to get more....hehe!!), and this year I have finally talked the Hubs into putting up Christmas lights!! YAY!!!! I can't wait to do this...there will be pics. to follow of course!!!

  I've already started making my Christmas cards (which look FAB I might add), and my sis is going to take a family photo for us for the front of the card!!! It's going to look great!!! (pictures to follow of that another time!!)

  I've been doing lot's of crafting lately and my new love is bracelet making!! I'm obsessed!!!! I've made a few, given some away and now have orders for some Christmas ones!!!! Take a looksy below and see what ya think!!!!!!! I love making them and they are so quick and easy!!!!

   Aside from those few things, not much is new!! I may be having surgery on my wrist soon, but that's no biggie, and everything else is going great!!! No complaints here....I have a great life, an awesome little Fam....what more could I possibly as for!?!?!?! :)

                                                                                     

Undecided....

So I stopped blogging for quite some time because truthfully????, I was feeling a little creeped out by the whole thing!! I dunno.....complete strangers reading about MY life?!?!?! Anyhow...I've decided to pop back into the wonderful world of blogging because quite simply.......I miss you guys!!!!! Hopefully I won't be freaked out again and go back into hibernation cuz I love reading your blogs and seeing what's going on in your lives!!! You guys ROCK!!!

Walking Withdrawl

Ugh!!! I missed my daily scheduled power walk this morning and let me tell ya......It's eating away at me!!!!! My workout buddy hurt her knee and wasn't up to going out this morning, and yeah, I could have went, but I started cleaning the house and doing the laundry, and then before I knew it 2 hours had gone by. The guilt is eating away at me, so I'm definetly going to get some excercise in today at some point so I don't go CRAZY!!!!!

   I'm in a real mood today. No particular reason, other than I feel kinda frustrated that I'm not always able to do the things that I want to do, when I want to do them!!!! Selfish?!?! Maybe, but hello....I work my butt off at work, worry about making everyone around me happy and then I'm left feeling a little bit ticked that no one seems to care that I have things that I want to do!!!!!Whatever...that's life I guess!!!!
Guess I really do need that exercise to get those "happy" endorphins pumping through my body!!!

Weight Loss Week 1

..So I've FINALLY had enough of procrastinating and putting off getting in shape!!! I know I've done this like a million times..ya know....start, stop, start, stop, but the difference this time?!?!? I have a workout partner that is as motivated as me!!!! This really helps!!! I've set a mini-goal of losing some weight before Thanksgiving weekend, which since I'm in Canada, is in about, oh, I'd say 5 weeks give or take. I'm not looking to drop major weight by then, but I'd love to be starting to feel comfprtable in my own skin.

   I decided that having a "target outfit" would be helpful in keeping me on track, so I bought this awesome sweater and I have a pair of jeans in mind as well that I'd like to look half decent in. My Hubs thought that I was crazy in putting this kind of pressure on myself, but if I don't.....I'll give up to easily. I also started taking some Green Tea/Apple cider vinegar capsules. Apparently they are very helpful in achieving weight loss, that is, if you are exercising and eating a healthy diet along with it (which I am).

   So there you have it folks!!! I've now informed you that I'm going to DO THIS!!!!! So now I really can't fail because I wouldn't want to have to write a post about that, now would I?!?!?!?!

A surprise for the Hubs!!!

 So I have today, tomorrow and, well, the whole long weekend off!!! Yay for me!!!! But the Hubs???, he has to work today and tomorrow still. To say that he was a tad jelous is a slight understatement, but ya know what?!?!?! I'm going to make it worth his while!!!

  I got up early this morning (when I could have lounged in bed for as long as I wanted) and cleaned the house, changed the bedding and washed our duvet cover and shams. Then I plan on making a special spaghetti sauce with spinach, peppers and some other great veggies in it for our dinner, and, oh...did I mention the yummy garlic bread to go with it???? I think (no, I KNOW) he'll love it!!!!

  I even made sure that some of his favourite beer is still in the fridge cuz ya know that your man will be thankful for a "cold one" after a long day at work!!!! I may even *ahem*....crack out the "nice" undies for him to ogle and appreciate!!! Hahaha.....I know...to much info, and it's not that I wear hideous undies on a daily basis, I just go for comfort more often than not. So, just for him, I'll wear the ones that usually stay tucked in the back of the drawer for special occasions!!!!

  He'll be a happy camper when he comes home!!!! House smells (and looks) great, food to be eaten, beer in the fridge....what else could a man want?!?!?!?!?!?!
