Where has the time gone?

So it's January 29th and is it just me or does it seem that this year is flying by? It feels like January 1st was yesterday. I guess time flies when you are having fun!

Jason and I had a busy weekend but it was tons of fun! Friday night we went over to Kevin's (Jason's former co-worker) house to play some poker. I had never played Texas Hold 'Em before but I was definitely willing to learn and play. I did relatively well the first game, I hung in there for a long time, but eventually was the first person out. The second game I had a KILLER hand or so I thought, and went all in and lost to Jason. Boo. Finally the third game came down to Jason and I and Jason eventually beat me. Luckily he won all 3 games for us. LoL. We got to meet some new people and made some plans for the Super Bowl so overall it was a very fun night.

Bright and early Saturday morning Kevin and Liz Jackson came over and we went up to Detroit for the 2008 North American International Auto Show. That was my first time going and I was blown away. There were some amazing vehicles showcased! I found my next vehicle.

It's a BMW 135i. It's a brand new series introduced in 2008. They had several models, 128i, covertables, etc. The 135i was by far my favorite. Surprisingly enough a fully loaded 135i is reasonably priced for a BMW. Looks like a graduation present for myself. :-D

Sunday was definitely a lazy day due to not getting any sleep Friday night and having to wake up super early. I don't think we got up until after 10. Jason made pancakes. :-D It was cute. And unfortunately I had to go back to work. We were slow the whole night until about 10:15. I didn't end up getting off until midnight. GRRRRR!

Haven't worked out yet this week but I intend on getting up early tomorrow and working out for about an hour. My weight loss goal for this week is 3 lbs. I am confident I can do it. Well, that's about all I have right now. Until next time my lovlies...

Something Different

Well I don't really have anything to update everyone on. But, I'm trying to stay true to my resolution and blog at least once a week.

Work is still work. There are so many things that frustrate me and when I try and say something it seems to fall on deaf ears. I'm really trying to keep a positive attitude because I know I should be thankful I have a job in today's market, but it's still hard for me. I think I deserve to be treated better. Maybe something will come along, after all, prayer answers many things.

In my last post I shared my New Years Resolutions and I am happy to update that my "Lose 60 lbs" is well under way. I have lost 6 lbs. so far and that makes me so happy! Amanda introduced me to this absolutely wonderful weight loss site called SparkPeople.com and I am so glad she did! It's a site where you can not only track your calorie intake, learn new exercise tips, get yummy low fat recipes, but it is also a community where you can interact with other memebers and share stories and motivate one another. It's really great, people have been so kind and I can't wait to finally lose this weight and keep it off! After all, I want to feel confident and sexy when I finally get married. (Which I hope is within the next three years) That's a good goal, right? :-P Haha!


On a not so positive note, my mom had to go in for a mri and cat scan last week because her Dr. found a mass on either her ovaries or her uterus and they have to determine where exactly it is, the size, more than likely test it, and possibly perform surgery to remove it. Please keep her in your prayers and hope it's nothing to serious. :(

That's about all I have for this week, thanks for checking in (although I'm pretty sure the only person who reads this is Amanda, so I should pry just put AMANDA- THIS ONE IS FOR YOU as my title for my blog, LoL)

Until next time my lovlies...

So Far...

I've made it one of my New Years Resolutions to blog at least weekly. I'm hoping to update more often than that, but it's a good start.

So the Buckeyes lost. I know the SEC is tough, but I was really hoping that OSU would step it up and prove to everyone that the Big 10 is just as fierce. At least they didn't lose as badly as they did last year. Oh well, there's always next year. :-D

I've had an awful cold since about January 2nd and it is finally starting to go away. Only problem is, I'm pretty sure now I am getting or have an ear infection. :( Booooo. Way to start the new year.

So, like most people I made a few New Years Resolutions and they are as follows:
*Lose 60 lbs. and live a healthier life style
*Get back into school and maintain a 3.5 GPA
*Try and find a new job
*Go to church more often and be a better Christian
*Be more open minded, optimistic, and understanding


That's all for now, I'm sure I'll add more later on. It's good to give yourself direction. Well I better get ready for work.



Until next time my lovlies...
