New/Old Hobby

I've heard so much about this series of books that I've decided to start reading. It has been FOREVER since I've read a book for fun that didn't involve a Disney Character or wasn't from the Magic Tree House series. - (LOL) I used to love to read so I'm excited about this. Most of my reading time will come when the kids are playing outside and I can sit in the sun and lounge between cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, treadmilling etc. I have to have my quiet time after everyone is in bed so this will be a prime time to read. I have read about 18 pages so far. I have already found Stephanie to be hysterical. Can't wait to pick it up again.

Happy Reading!!!!

Flood

Here are a few pictures of the flooding.

The red bridge at the top is actually part of the interstate as an overpass.

Keep Me Honest

I have struggled with my weight for more years than I care to remember. I'd hate to say how many pounds I've lost over the years but they seem to be the same ones.-LOL I've decided to start, not a diet, but a change in eating habits AND get back to the treadmill. I hope I will have more of a mind to stick with it if I feel pressure to document it here. I will take a before picture but if it shows too much fat, I will not post it. (ha ha)

I've done Adkins and Weight Watchers in the past. I think it is going to be more WW but not do the grains. Carbs seem to cause me trouble.

Oh yeah, I'm not stupid so this is going to all start on Monday. I'd be setting myself up for failure if this started on a weekend.

In Memory

Today would have been my brother's 39th birthday. He passed July 1985 in a car accident but I still think of him every day.

Give your loved ones a hug and tell them you love them.

Happy Birthday Andy.

Before and After

Here is Molly, our Goldendoodle. She is 6 months old and had her first hair trim. She felt like a new woman. The top two photos are before and the bottom two are after. I have to comment on Andrew's picture at the top.......the kid is a dirt magnet!

Spreading My Wings

Hey, did you notice.......I've added a picture and a blogroll. I have to take baby steps so maybe tomorrow I'll try adding some pics from my camera. :)

New To Me

I was getting some serious pressure about starting a blog (you know who you are). :)

So here it is my very first entry. (YAWN) LOL
