Gotta Get a Maid.

Posted by on April 9, 2007 1 Comment

It rain today. It seldom does that here. I really like it when it rains. Everything smells so fresh and clean. Its fun. I went for a long walk today and listened to my ipod. It was really relaxing, just walking in the rain.

So I got my act together and went to the gym. I did my weigh in and YAY I’m still down 4 pounds this month. It would have been more if it wasn’t for my psycho couple of weeks, but down is still down. It felt good to still be down. I was a bit worried. Maybe its good that I don’t have a scale at home. I’m hoping to get a digital one soon though. I hate the gyms scale is so inaccurate. Drives me crazy. Well so far being back on the health kick isn’t very fun, but at least I’m excited about it again. Makes it easier to work out and say no to left over easter chocolate.

My week is flying by and going no where all at the same time. It feels like Friday, but its Monday. I guess thats a good thing because I have lots to get done this week. We have a youth service on Sunday and a pie/servant auction to do too so there will be plenty to do to get things ready.

Looks like I’m going to get more time to work on my goal of organizing this week because My in-laws are coming for Emily’s birthday and we have to make a bedroom in the basement again. I’m looking forward to getting more done downstairs. It rarely sees me except to do laundry these days. I know I need a maid. Yeah gotta get me one of those. Haha

oh and I found some other old school pics.

Day Trippin

Posted by on April 5, 2007 Leave a Comment

15. Thats right. 15. It’s the number of steps Emily has taken all by her little old self. She doesn’t even need encouraging to walk she just goes and goes. I’m loving it. Ill admit shes quick so it isn’t always easy to keep up, but its still so fun. Shes gotten really good at saying “bye bye” and waving. She says daddy and Mama and bubba and I think she says Heidi too. When we were driving in the car the other day she was singing to herself and we heard her sing the melody of twinkle twinkle. It was super cool.

The next week is gonna be pretty busy again. Tomorrow we are going road trippin to who knows where just because we can. and then on Saturday its Gabe’s birthday so we are gonna party. Theres all kinds of youth stuff this week and then on the weekend its Emily’s birthday and a youth service and I think I’m preaching at church. I’m not sure what I’m preaching on yet, but I hope its interesting. haha.

Ive spent the last 2 days knee deep in paper. We are helping my parents with organizing their office. Its fun. I’m not sure why, but I like organizing stuff it doesn’t matter whose it is. So far we only lost one important piece of paper, but we found it again later. whew.

dang. I just realized that my gym is closed tomorrow. I haven’t gone once this week. Ive been so tired and had meetings and kind of didn’t feel great anyways. I was totally gonna go tomorrow, but now I cant. I’ve been floundering in my goals of late. I think its because Ive been feeling so good about my self its easy to just settle with where I am. I really don’t want to give up so I’m going to have to set some new goals and hop back on the band wagon. I think I need to set some more maintenance style goals. Its too hard to eat like a vegan/gymnast/stick/boring person all the time. hmm. Ill have to give that some thought.

Crybabies'R'Us

Posted by on March 18, 2007 2 Comments

Emily has been having a seriously rough crybaby day. I now know why they call them crybabies. I’m not sure what the problem is, but she’s been extremely emotional all day. She cried for the last half of church and everyone all the way from the front could hear her in the nursery at the back. She had a little nap and then was at it again. AHH. Ok I’m actually ok with it today. I think if I was headed to Kamloops as planned I might not have been as calm and cool about it. I really hasn’t been getting to me like it does sometimes. I’m just trying to be there for her. Who knows maybe she’s teething again and just not showing the same signs as the last time.

I’m trying to get my house all cleaned up before I go. I’d rather come home to a clean house than a messy one. So I’ve even resorted to setting the timer to help me remember to change the laundry over. I’m hoping that at least the main floor and the bathrooms will be cleaned up before I go. We’ll see. I’ll clean most things, but I’ve decided not to clean up Morgan’s salsa dish that he left downstairs and let grow stuff. It’s nasty. I don’t do nasty. So far thats the biggest problem with having moved the T.V. downstairs. I’m enjoying watching less T.V. and not having the T.V. clutter in my living room, but I’m really hating the dishes and pop cans and other crap that keeps getting left down there. I’m more ok with clutter than dirty stuff, and since I’m trying to de-clutter the dirty stuff frustrates me even more.

A bunch of my Youth left today for a week long hardcore discipleship school during spring break. I’m pretty excited for them. They are going to be challenged and learn so much. I’m hoping to see some great things come out of this experience. I think they are really going to love it.

My lungs have been alot better in the last few days. I think I finally kicked my cold. HA! It took a long time, but I’m glad its over. I like feeling like me and not like some lethargic snow beast who whines alot.

The 32's dance.

Posted by on March 17, 2007 2 Comments

I’m doing the 32′s dance all day today. My sister is home for a few days house sitting. So today while we were visiting I stole a bunch more of her clothes. I have nothing to wear right now. Typical girl statement hey? But I really don’t, all my clothes look either tacky(Ill admit it sometimes I have bad taste) or like drapes. So Yippy I borrowed some of Roxy’s Clothes. Its pretty much the best thing in the world because I borrowed a couple of pairs of jeans and they are both 32′s. I don’t think I’ve worn 32′s since high school. So that’s my dance of joy today.

Tonight we had these missionaries from Romania come to speak at our youth church. They are such interesting people. I love to chat with them. I have the hardest time at missionary updates because I want to drop everything and move to their country and save babies and fight off snakes and tell savages about Jesus. Ok well maybe not that extreme, but their presentations always make me cry and I just really get emotionally recked. I love it. I don’t ever feel like I’d rather not see it and live my extravagant life. I’d much rather be challenged to action. Heres my action today. Check out their Website. It’s pretty cool.

I’m getting all excited for my conference at the end of this week. I was supposed to be leaving tomorrow, but now I get to leave on Tuesday. I’m glad about that because I get an extra couple days in my own bed and Emily doesn’t have to travel as much. I’m a bit sad that I wont get as much time at the coast to see friends, but I don’t have to rush back on Sunday I could stay an extra day or 2 if I want to. I’m going bra shopping! (just a tidbit no one needed to know, but I’m excited about anyways.)I love gift certificates.

Oh and I invented a new drink. I call it an African Haze. It like a London Fog, but with rooibos (pronounced roy-bus) tea. Soo Good!
