After a skipped workout Wednesday I had to really work to fit it in to my Thursday from hell!
It was not so bad a day, but I had a Girl Scout meeting tonight and had to prepare for it. There were all kinds of things at work that had to get done as well so I had to make my time there as effective as possible.
Everything went off really well at the meeting tonight though. My frined Kelly who has a 18 month old daughter offered to host our meeting at her house so we could work on activites all from a childcare badge. She figured her daughter would be most comfortable in her own home and she was right. Another friend brought her 2 month old son over as well so we had a couple of different age ranges to observe and interact with.
Happy Scouting all !

Abandon
Ever notice that the phrase "Pursue with abandon" means to relentlessly pursue without giving up... while the word abandon, means to give up?

Every Day
Every Day
I know there are 7 days in a week, and I am only trying to make a 6 day a week commitment, but it sure seems close enough to call it every day.
On October 17th, 2005 Brandon and I are starting a workout program that alternates every day between a cardio routine and a weights routine. We have a weight bench and free-weights in our basement already, so it is just a matter of using them!
The videos came in the mail yesterday so tonight we are going to do one of them, just to start getting familiar with the moves etc. It’s a 90 day program so we will be at this for quite a while.
On the Nutrition side of things I don’t think we are going to do anything drastic. The current goal is that however good/horrible we eat in a day we must include one salad every day.

Hello Friends
Finally a bit of a break!
I've just had a friend visiting this weekend and we had a great time! Between ladies night out at the bar, and friends over for a night of socializing, it has been fun. The only downer is that Brandon has had a HUGE homework and program due today, so he has not been able to fully party. I guess that made Friday night more fun though cuz it was just the girls out!
Just relaxing the next few weekends coming up and I'm excited! If I remember correctly Ive got nothing planned! YEA!

For all those Blogreaders out there..
I started using this a while back and I LOVE it! You can see updates to all your friends and family's blogs all in one place.
A friend asked me a while back "But can you see new posts from all your friends on one page?" and I said no, but I was wrong! You can, I have my blogs organized into friends, family and other, and when I click on the main heading I get all new ones from all blogs in that folder.
The one drawback is you don't see comments to blogposts, just new posts by the author.

Serenity Now!
Anyone fans of Firefly?
I just got out of an early screening of "Serenity" the movie based on that series and it ROCKED!
I can’t speak to those who dont know anything about Firefly, but for those of you who, like me, have seen all firefly episodes at least once, it really delivers.
So what do I say to not spoil it?
The characters you know from Firefly are all there, the humor that we know and love from Joss is there... Everything I hoped!
There is a lot of action and as usual just as much violence as the situation warrents.
On a personal note, I won a set of 3 Serenity comic books by singing a line from the Buffy episode "Once more with feeling". A woman tried to sing the opening song by Buffy but sang quite a few wrong words. SO I stood up and said "Those words are not right!" and proceeded to sing out loud and proud!
Yea ME!

Been a long time, shouldn't have left you...
Without a blogpost!
Hey guys, I have been having a fun/busy time the last couple of weeks. This last weekend I spent camping nearby here. Even though it rained SO much we had a great time. It was all made possible by a huge picnic shelter at our group site that we "camped out" under when it rained. Gave us a place to dry off during the Saturday morning rainstorm, and a place to play cards in during the Saturday afternoon rainstorm. After stopping just long enough for our Saturday night guests to set up their tents and us to cook out over the fire, we went back into the pavillion for more cards.
That night it was Crazy lound and wet. It rained ALL night as far as I knew, and when the thunderstoms passed by I managed to catch a few good hours of sleep. We had water in our tent of course but nothing I could feel from inside our sleeping bag.
Thanks to Chris and Karen for inviting us to camp.

Reward Time
Ohh, I’m excited. Just one more pound to lose and I am at my lowest weight in YEARS! Now what was my reward again?
My next goal is to stay under 150 lbs till next summer, and the reward for that will be a Power MAC for my video editing pleasure.
- Dresser
- Krispy Kreme Doughnut (just one)
- Bit of Jewelry

Labor Day Holiday
Evening folks!
I am “supposed” to be getting ready to leave town so of course I am killing time doing anything but.
I am heading to ND tomorrow morning and will be there for nearly 3 full days. I have a sibling’s birthday party to go to, friends to visit in Fargo and hopefully some quality time with my family in Grand Forks.
This last weekend was really great. We had a 30th Birthday party for a friend which brought us up to a water park/hotel in Minneapolis and then some gardening that took up much of the rest of the weekend. We did a bit of lying around and lots of harvesting, canning and pickling. There is not a lot of the growing season left so we have to make time to harvest when it needs it.
Hope you all had a good holiday weekend!
