There is hope!

Sunday April 4th

I'm sharing this because I know my readers
are friends and family who love me and won't judge.
Yes, this is my weight, and
thank you for being surprised.
I have been trying to loose weight for a month and a half.
I had only lost about a pound and a half
and then nothing...
finally this weekend, another pound came off!
Maybe, just maybe, my efforts are going to pay off...

I made it!

Saturday April 3rd

I made it!!
I gave up Starbucks for lent...
I was really proud of myself for going so long!
Today I finally got a latte.
Mmmm...
It was so good, I forgot to take a picture,
so I ripped this one off of someone online!

I did it!

Friday April 2nd

I had the day off from work for Good Friday,
so I decided to do something for myself today.

I finally cut my hair!!!

Before:

After:

Sorry they are poor quality self portraits.
I was home alone with no one to take pictures of me. :(

April Fools!

Thursday April 1st

I just had to record this little April Fools joke,
since my brother lives in Topeka!

Hope your April fool's day wasn't too crazy...
I only had one benign joke played on me by the kids,
thank goodness!
And one not so benign joke played on me by
someone who shall remain nameless,
but she knows who she is!!! :P

Hmmm...

Wednesday March 31st

Yes, it's just grass.
It was supposed to be a picture of a bee.
He was RIGHT THERE!
I guess I missed him...

Full Moon

Tuesday March 30th

This was my attempt to take a picture of the moon this morning.
Unfortunately my camera is not that talented.
But you at least get the idea of how bright it was!

Sky View

Monday March 29th

Today, for the first time ever,
Janet and I tried out the sunroof in her car.
It was such a beautiful day and
I really enjoyed watching the sky go by...

Finally, outdoor weather!

Sunday March 28th

Sunday lunch at Paner*
We actually ate outside on the porch.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!

We have figs!

Saturday March 27th

Our fig tree,
which was just a stick about a week ago,
not only has two leaves,
but also BABY FIGS!!!

I love the Ducky Game!!

Friday March 26th

Another Friday night at Amie's!
Tonight Amanda C. brought my favorite game:
Duck, Duck Go!
Everyone has fun when you play with rubber duckies!

Going Green

Thursday March 25th

I was raised to respect the environment
and to do my part to protect it.
We are trying to teach that to our kids at school as well.
Since everyone is all in to "Going Green"
I thought I would show off my recycle bin.
I know, you are probably thinking,
"That's a lot of wasted paper!"
We are also trying to cut back and reuse when possible,
but at least the extras will be recycled.

New Technology...your tax dollars at work!

Wednesday March 24th

We recently received document cameras
and projectors at school.
Bye bye over heads!
Good riddance transparencies!
Now I can put whatever I want under the camera
and 'voila' it appears on the screen!
We also got mini laptops so we can show
educational videos etc.
I'm loving it!!

Biology Lesson

Tuesday March 23rd

At school we have been growing cabbage plants.
Mine looks the best out of all the classes!
Guess what guys, plants need water
and sunlight to survive! :)

Tortilla Balloons

Monday March 22nd

Tonight I was making tostadas,
which I have done many times,
but for some unknown reason,
this time the tortillas ballooned up!

Wa*Mart

Sunday March 21st

Lately we've ended up grocery shopping on Sunday nights,
which is apparently when everyone else does too...
However recently they took away the center aisle displays.
Look how much room there is!
