Leo

This morning Dad's horse Leo died. It will never be the same without him. We've had him since I was 8 years old and I'm now almost 34. I guess it just seemed like he would always be there. But he was not feeling well for a long time so I guess it's better for him.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West   Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Lent...

No idea yet what I'll be giving up. I thought about two things: sugar and Mt. Dew. But I think I love my family too much to do that to them...lol!! Man, I think they hate me sometimes now...

The Raw Diet????

So, I watched part of The Wife Swap last night. One family lived by the "raw diet". I had never heard of this but was kind of fascinated so I looked it up b/c I missed about 3/4 of the show. The diet is exactly what it says....raw. They don't cook anything. Raw beef and chicken. I just don't understand this at all. Am I crazy for thinking that that kind of eating would make you sick??? I mean, I grew up on a farm too but we did cook our food. Totally don't understand this one but think I could really lose some weight on it!!! LOL

Last week was a rough week. I finally cratered to the flu on Tuesday afternoon and didn't really get out of bed much until Friday. Not the best way to spend Valentine's day but didn't really have plans anyway. My husband brought me roses on Monday and they were really pretty. I am feeling quite stressed with a lot on my mind. This may be a long week!!

Working out

I just got home from my first trip to YMCA since I signed up. I had an appointment with one of the trainers. Everyone who signs up gets one. It was really fun. I started a 12 week program with her. I work out on my own and see her 3 more times (every 3 weeks). So, for the first 3 weeks I'm supposed to do only cardio. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Not too bad for my first time back to the gym in 6 months! I thought the first 5 minutes would kill me. It wasn't too bad after that. DD3 went to the playroom and had a great time. She was mad when it was time to go home. That makes all the difference in the world. If I thought she was in there crying I don't think I"d be able to enjoy myself. I'm hoping to try some classes soon and can't wait!!

more snow...

Well, we have pretty snow this morning! I love this kind of snow. It's pretty but not icy so far. Everyone was driving pretty slow this morning but the roads weren't bad yet. Hopefully they won't get too icy.

Well, my weekend was eventful...Natalie and I drove to Seagoville, TX to pick up furniture from our Aunt's house. So, I was a nervous wreck about driving a uhaul truck. It was a 17' truck and actually wasn't too bad after I got used to it. So, we had a long afternoon and evening of loading it up and then driving back home. We got home around 12:45 am. Then the unloading started at about 8am Sunday morning and went pretty much all day. I was soooo tired and my arms were sore by Sunday night. I was glad to have the truck returned on Monday and be done with it all.
