Treadmill news
We are investing in a treadmill. We have tried a fitness membership but it's not the most convenient for us, we can't really both go, and sometimes the hours are hard to make. I'm also not a big fan of sharing gym equipment and looking at the next top model running beside me. However, when I have a large machine in my living room staring at my butt on the couch, it's a little more motivation. :) There's no reason why I can't squeeze in exercise before Adele wakes up, or nap time, or when Daddy comes home. There's no reason he can't work out. Amadon HATES the gym. It's just not his thing. But he swore up and down he'd run on the treadmill because he loves to run and wants to get in shape too.
ahem more treadmill news
Trying to buy a treadmill is a whole other story. I have looked at so many different consumer reports it's making my head spin but I want to be smart about investing in this. I want something that can take the pounding of daily running, is sturdy, and will last. This is one of those things you want to invest in but not spend money on stupid extras that you really don't need like a tv on the treadmill. Sam's club has nothing that I'm looking for. So far the best deal I found was from the manufacturer online.
a weekend trip
This weekend we have hotel reservations in Fargo. We decided to get away for the weekend. We need it. There's a kiddie pool, shopping, and eating out. I'm so excited. I might also do a slumber party tomorrow at Sam's place. I'd drive to DL. I have to watch the weather though. If it looks like it might not be a good idea to drive, I'll reschedule. But I'm really hoping I get to travel. I'm so nervous about icy roads though.
cancer test results
The last few days have been incredibly hectic and filled with all kinds of news. I'm waiting to hear from my doctor if I indeed have cancer or not which is nerve wracking. I just keep telling myself that people have possible cancer findings all the time and they turn out normal. It's just scary. All kinds of other things have been going wrong but I guess you just can't worry about them.

a half ass post
I feel like crap today. I think I caught that cold bug Adele had. I still worked out. I also gained about 5 lbs when I weighed myself this weekend. I'm hoping it's water retention or muscle. It was a little disheartening. (and the tape measure hasn't budged either)To be honest it would make no sense to me if I just got fatter. I heard that taking creatine can cause you to retain water to so maybe that's the deal. I've been taking a lot of that and amino acids on top of all kinds of vitamins and what not. I think I'm going to talk to a professional and make sure I'm not overtaking any vitamins. And I just learned that taking St. John's Wort can make your birth control not work. It would be good to double check with someone to make sure there aren't any bad drug interactions anywhere.
Well, this weekend was really fun. It was my birthday. I'm the big 22. I can't believe I'm even that old. But my grandma made me a homemade cake in the shape of a heart. Sam and the kids stopped by so it was fun to see the girls run around and play together. Pretty much all my closest family and friends were there so it was exactly what I wanted.
I know, I have a TON of stuff to update about and I feel bad I haven't posted but Adele is napping and I want to get some cleaning done before she gets up. But I promise I will try to write a catch up post soon.
Oh and Samantha, for some reason my comment didn't post but I completely understand why you didn't get back to me last night. You had some pretty heavy stuff to deal with. I obviously can't really post about what's going on but all I can say is that I'm enraged at what happened and I hope justice will be served to the max in court. I will call you later today.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year!!! Here are some of mine and the hubbies resolutions
1.work out, get in shape and be healthy
2. eat healthier
3. go to church more, prayer together more
4. learn German
5. Finish my book and send it some publishers
6. go on vacation
7. make an effort to have date nights by ourselves (and set up a munckin date with Adele and her friends)
8. have an organized house, let go of any "stuff" that really isn't being used
9. start my beading business
10. learn guitar theory
and last but not least more kissin and less bitchin :) .
Well, I worked out again HARD the last two days and I feel damn proud of myself. Yesterday, all I wanted to do was nap while Adele napped but I dragged my lazy butt off the couch and worked out. I'm not going to lie. It wasn't fun. It sucks to work out when you don't want to but afterwards you feel great. We're still debating whether to invest in a treadmill or get a gym membership. I lift a lot of weights. It's hard to find a way to do cardio with it being winter and the baby but hopefully that will get resolved soon. I made home made chicken dumpling soup today. I called my Grandma for her recipe and it turned out great. It's also so cheap to make. This is going to be one of my top recipes for supper. I stocked up on grapes and bananas yesterday and they're almost gone today. I really found that if you pick good for you foods and have them all cut up and ready to eat and laying out on the counter then I'll snack on it before I snack on other stuff. It's kinda sad how much effort I need to get my lazy self to actually eat fruits n veggies instead of prepackaged sweets but I'm sure it will come more naturally the more of it I eat.
I'm still waiting on a TON of paperwork to fill out for different parts of the estate but I'm just not going to worry about it until it comes. I've been stressing and worrying over every little thing lately that I'm afraid I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. Working out, prayer and meditation, are helping sometimes. And so is just sitting down and telling myself (yes I'm a dork that talks to herself) how big of a problem is this-really? can it be fixed? if so how? what can I do about it today? If there's nothing I can do about it today, I file it away until I can and then try to forget it. If I can do something about it today if just to start tackling it then I try to do it instead of procrastinating and making it into a bigger issue. And really you need to just let some stuff go. that pile of dishes in the sink should be on the bottom of the to do list and if you can't find time to do it, then so be it. I think I'm trying to deal with my grief by staying sooo busy and wanting to perfect every little thing to try and find happiness that I need to just slow down and heal.
