The haps…

Last week was busy, and I was stressed out because I am trying to do too much so of course I can’t write as much. I spent some time on my weight loss blog – that at least is going well. There was some family drama. Nothing horrible (I can’t elaborate here now) but it was emotional for me to say the least.
 
The week-end was ho hum, pretty relaxing actually. My husband and I spent some quality time together though we didn’t get much done around the house. He did get our Christmas tree up so I can decorate this week-end. He pointed out to me that we have 19 big tubs of Christmas stuff. Ha. O Joy! My husband surprised me by saying he is actually in the mood for Christmas this year. I can’t believe it.  I hope it is a good one. I don’t care about gifts, I just want it to be hassle free and spend time doing fun stuff with family and friends.
 
I didn’t get hardly any school work done at all this week-end. I basically fooled around. Shame on me!! So that means this week, including my birthday is going to be super stressful and filled with school work. I just hope and pray I can get everything done that I have to. Whew, only this week to get through and class our over. Yay!
 
One bright spot today – I had fun in band class. We played some student composed music. Most were arrangements of songs but there was one very good original piece (Solace) that was composed by a tuba player. I was impressed. There was also a Lady Gaga medley which would be good for a marching band. We are also getting ready to play for graduation. Call me a nerd but I love playing for graduation. Plus we are going to get paid this year too.

So what are you looking for?

So what are you looking for? For this: I told you so! LOL – except I didn’t, not in so many words but I knew how it would play out. Oh well, you live you learn. I can’t write about that now, it is too complicated but I may have something I’m working on soon. Stay tuned…
So what are you looking for? Better yet let’s talk about what I’m looking for. I want happiness for me and my husband and stepson. I want honesty from people. I want genuine relationships. I want peace. I want what’s best for my family without someone else’s dumb BS getting in the way. I don’t think that is too much to ask.

Some Great Slideshows

I love looking at these before and after slideshows of people’s weight loss:

I have experienced some of them but not the ‘coregasm’ unfortunately, haha. Last night I was wondering if regular exercise makes you poop more but it didn’t make the list.

Bad Sexxx

An English author won an award for writing bad sex scenes in his novel. I got a laugh out of reading the scenes, which are very bad.

What’s on my mind?

What’s on my mind? Kids and how they learn about morals and ethics. The learn from watching and listening to the adults in their lives. If adults model good behavior, positive behavior kids pick up on that and will follow. The same is true for the opposite – if adults in their lives model bad behavior, kids will pick up on that and think it is acceptable to behave that way also. I find that scary, especially when I think about some of the parenting I have seen and heard about lately. I ask myself, what good parent, what truly good person would want to teach their kids bad behavior, bad morals, and bad ethics? some parents just aren’t aware of what they are doing but some are and just don’t care – they are putting their own desires first with no regard for what is right in general and certainly without regard for their children. That is scary indeed and that is the problem with society today. I guess morals and ethics just aren’t important anymore or are totally lost on some people.

I’m on a roll …

I’m on a roll getttng rid of my rolls. Well a small roll. I didn’t go to the gym this week at all. That is very bad. Same excuses as always – too many other things to do (Homework!) and not enough time and energy. I have been getting on the Wii though so that is good. I have done Just Dance 2 three days in a row now. Wahoo! I can’t say enough how much I love that game. It is super fun.

I also did Wii Fit the last two days. Yesterday I was down 2.2 pounds from the last time I was on two weeks ago. Today I was down even further – it said I lost a little over a pound since yesterday. Now those are results I like to see! I know that is unrealistic but hey, maybe all the dancing and sweating is the way to go. Or maybe I unloaded all the Thanksgiving dinner I took in on Thursday. EWWWWW, sorry TMI.
