It's the NEW Style...

Hey People... Not much to blog about, but realized that I haven't blogged in a while. Spent yesterday making lefse with my family. It was fun, but we usually have fun when we all get together. It's good to see everyone once in a while... I made William a special dinner for when he got home from work. It was really good. I also whipped up a Tiramisu. It was quite tasty. Right now, I'm at work... This week rules because we are closed Thursday & Friday. My Thanksgiving plans include going to Will's grandparents' house and going to Rich & Kelly's house for Mexican night. We always have a good time with them. I love those two... I hope everyone else has a very happy holiday and eats lots of turkey!!!!

The Counselor is IN!

Hello friends! It's me... I think I've officially read everything I can google about fixing my marriage, and then... He tells me, "Things have been going really good lately!!!" I'm so happy... I'm trying so hard to show him that I really do love him and want to be with him forever... I've never been real good at depending on anyone... I'm an only child with parents that both worked full time, my dad gone all week and only home on weekends... This means that I'm also very private. I don't like to share everything with everyone. I don't tell him everything, and that's where part of our issue is... I'm also a compulsive liar... It stems back to early childhood for me. I remember lying to my grandma about things... It's not even stuff that really matters... Stupid little things... Like "Mel, did you mail the electric bill today?" I say, "Yes!!!" when in reality, it's in the car, in the envelope, and I forgot and will mail it in the morning... It's so much easier to say yes than to get in trouble for forgetting... Grrr... SO, that in mind, I'm so happy to say that I haven't lied about any of that stuff to him for the last 3 months!!! The job hunt is still on... I'm also helping out my mother-in-law at her bar part time. Tomorrow night is my night on... WOOOOOOOOOO!!! hahaha... Hopefully it's not TOO busy. I hate when it's really busy. I sent my resume to a guy at a radio station in Willmar. Hopefully that one works out because I miss working at a radio station... That's one of the funnest jobs I've ever had... Well, I think I've written enough now... Have a nice week!!!!!

Mindless blogging...

I'm blogging for no apparent reason... Nothing exciting has happened to me... But I have now officially lost 20 pounds. I'm slightly broke... I can't fit into my pants, and I'm actually wearing a polo shirt today... Grr... Life is fun...

In a nutshell...

Life is pretty good lately. The hubby and I are getting along really well... I think it helps when we focus most of our attention on each other and meeting each other's needs... PLUS talking to each other... I haven't lost a whole lot more weight... I think I'm at the stage where I plateau for a little while... But I can tell that I have lost weight now... My clothes don't fit... So, maybe my fat is all turning into muscle???? I don't know... ANYWAY... my life is pretty uneventful besides all that stuff...

Today's the day...

Halo 3 comes out... I'm getting off work to go get it because I couldn't talk Will into going at midnight... Grrrrr... hahaha... Things are going pretty good this week. I have big plans for all of my clothes that are too big... hahaha... I'm wearing jeans that I haven't worn in over two years and I didn't even have to lay down to button them... That's a great plus!!! Hahahah!!! Today's the day that I'm doing what I can to make the job I have better or find a better one... It might take a week or two... Give me time and wish me luck!!!

Another Day, another pound... or three!!!!!

I'm stoked. I weighed myself this morning, and I'm down another 3 pounds. Apparently when I said I was going to start running, it's helping. I can't run very far, but 10 feet is farther than what I was doing. hahaha... Will & I went golfing last night... Which was nice. I thought he was going to be working a 16 hour shift, so I took my time going home... Got home and there he is! I was so happy... I love him so much... I really hope we can work through all of our problems. I'm sorry to any of the friends I've been neglecting while I'm trying to show him that he & the girls are number 1 for me. I guess I figure if you're really my friend, you'll be understanding about that... Anyway... Work is going good... I found something out yesterday that could be good for me in the future. I'm not going to discuss it and jinx it though, so you'll just have to wait. I'm hoping to get to Donna's this weekend... Even if it's just for an hour or two on Saturday morning. If I go to Monte, I'm probably going to be drawn in by the new SuperWalmart that is opening on Wednesday... hahahahahahahaha... I'm hoping my great grandma comes through with this sewing machine she wants to give me. I have some really cute ideas to use on the kids' old jeans... hmmm... I also bought this super cute jacket the other day that's a little shapeless and I want to make it kinda corset-y on the back... Grrr... Ok, so, hopefully ya'll are doing well. I should get back to work... haha... Have a good day.

First Post... Oh What to say...

Here's my first blog on this here blogspot place... So far, so good... I started my day out as any other uneventful day. Got up, got the kids up and dressed and to school and daycare... Got myself to work after checking up on my new "diet." Yeah, I'm on the Gopher 5 diet. If I can win the Gopher 5 lottery game, I can afford a tummy tuck and a breast lift. That's my diet. In all honesty, I am dieting... I'm doing a healthier lifestyle change along with the weight watchers point system. I'm only eating whole grains... versus half or whatever the alternate was. I've lost 10 pounds the last 3 weeks. Only 50 more to go before I will be somewhat happy and 80 to go before I will be ecstatic... Otherwise my life has been pretty uneventful lately. The hubby and I seem to be getting along ok... He hasn't mentioned the "D" word lately, and that makes me happier... I'm am totally and completely in love with him. More than I have ever been in all honesty. I've realized lately that I'm more forgiving than I ever thought. I guess it's because you can't change the past, you can only forgive what happened and prevent it from happening again. So, there's my bit of wisdom for the day. I hope you keep checking back... I have a lot of hobbies that I will share on here, including knitting and scrapbooking. I like to sew things, but I'm not very adventurous with that yet. Give me some time. I have some great ideas!! I like to hear from people, so feel free to drop a line and say "Hello!!!" Thanks!!!
