Someone's Missing.......

The house seems a little to quiet for me right now.....no dirty dishes, no in and out of the garage...yep, you know what that means.....the Hubs isn't here!!!!! Is that a good thing??!?! Well, I think time apart is always a good thing, I mean, absence makes the heart grow fonder, right???? The Hubs went to spend Thanksgiving with our friends (family) in Ohio, and, well......I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss him terribly!!!! I'm feeling kinda lonely!!!!

   He'll be on his way home tomorrow, which I can hardly wait!!!!! You just don't realize how much you truly love someone until you are apart for awhile!!! I sat here today and thought about what life would be like if he were never coming back...I mean, I'm not trying to be depressing or morbid, but it's reality....life is short and it's precious.........I actually had tears come to my eyes when I thought about my life without him...........I just want him home safe and sound!!!!!! I've been keeping busy and doing some Christmas shopping for our Girlie.....(got some A-W-E-S-O-M-E deals, by the way)...., doing some crafting and of course, some cleaning and laundry!!!! Good times!!!!

 Our Christmas cards are all ready to go....I made them myself, my sis took our yearly family photo, I put them all together and Voila!!!!!!! Our cards are awesome!!!!!!!! Can't wait to send them out!!!! Here are a couple of pics. from the photo shoot!!!!!!! The first one is the one we used for our card....the rest????? Just some awesome pics of my little fam!!!!!!

                                                                                   

A new craftroom!!!! Woohoo!!!

     It's finally happened!!!! I have an awesome new craftroom!!!! The Hubs bought me two awesome white cabinets to use as storage and I did some painting to turn the "old" into the "new"....and I L-O-V-E it!!!! I don't want to go as far as to say that it's my "dream" craftroom, but it's pretty darn close!!!! It has tonnes of storage, it's bright and cheery and it's totally me!!! I couldn't ask for more!!!!!!! Here's a sneek peek at it....I'll take some more pics. when I have it totally together!!!

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?!?!?!?!
