Am I Gonna Die?

I am SO out of shape it's not even funny!

Currently, I am a good 20-25 pounds overweight.

*cry*

I haven't worked out in three years!  I've tried here and there, but my body doesn't like me.  I've inherited bad knees and about the time I injured my Achilles tendon is about the time that I stopped working out.

But, that's gonna change.

I HATE the way that I look in pictures and the mirror right now.

My face is so FULL and chubby looking and hardly and of my clothes fit.

It's really sad.

Can't believe I've let myself get back to this place.  I was here before and I swore up and down that I'd never be back here, but here I stand, uncomfortable in my own skin.

Last night we had a family meeting with the inlaws and we finalized details for a DISNEY WORLD VACATION!!!!

We went with them in September of 2008 and we've been talking about going back since then.

Now, it's gonna happen.  Again, in September of THIS YEAR!!!

Do you know what that means?

I have 83 days to get back to this:

{My BIL Tyler and me on our shared birthday, 2008}

One of the things Kyle and I are going to do is Bikram Hot Yoga!  There was an AmazonLocal deal here that was $20 for 20 sessions {normally $240}!

However, I have NEVER, really, done yoga before, let alone Hot Yoga!

{I've attempted to do yoga before but it's bored me to tears and just never kept me interested.}

So tell me, am I going to DIE doing this?  I'm kinda skeered!

At this point though, I'm willing to try almost anything to get rid of this extra poundage that is making me unhappy!

Hot Yoga {and better eating habits} it is!

I WILL BE "SMOKIN' HOT" AGAIN!!!

He's Five!!

Evan made this all on his own and had it taped on his door, again, all on his own. Lol

Toilet Training...For Cats!

{Courtesy of Google Images}

Kyle was watching Shark Tank one night and he came upstairs to tell me that there was something that I needed to look up online.  Something about training a cat to use the toilet.  I was like, really?  A cat using a toilet and you want me to actually take the time to watch something about it?  I mean, I'm the one that takes care of Milo's litterbox so you'd think that I'd be more excited about it but I just thought it was silly!  I still do!

But Kyle told me to go to this site and watch the video.  So I did.  He then told me that we NEED to do this.  I told him that if he got it, HE would be the one dealing with it.  I really just don't want to put forth the energy.  But he's tired of Milo always peeing on everything so he thought it would be a great idea.

Then, I started working with a new client and the sister of my client was talking about it and she actually ordered it!  She told me that she'd let me use it after they were done, except that they make it so that it can't be re-used.  They actually got it in the mail a couple of weeks ago and have it out for their cat to use but it's not going so well. LOL  Their cat is still using her litterbox and/or the bathroom floor {so glad Milo isn't the only cat that does dumb stuff like that}!

Basically this thing has different sized ovals and once the cat has used one oval regularly for 24 hours, you're supposed to take out the next oval to make a larger opening and keep doing that till the cat is using the toilet without the litter.  It's an interesting concept and would certainly make for a happier cat that doesn't have to wait for its human to change the litter {ahem, me...so bad about that!}.




This video is just too funny.  It cracks me up seeing a cat actually sitting on the toilet seat!




So tell me, have you used this or something similar before?  Has it actually worked for you?  Should we invest the $30 to not have to use a litterbox anymore?

My First and Second Number One Favorite Nephews

My dad always calls my sister and me his Number One First Daughter and his Number One Second Daughter.  He loves us like that. ;0)  So now I call my nephews my Number One and Number Two Favorite little guys.  I love them like that. ;0)

Recently my sister has posted these pictures of my favorite little guys on Facebook so I thought I'd share them with you.

Evan graduated from Pre-K the other day!  He's getting SO big!  And next year he's going to go to the public school down the street and enter Kindergarten!  I just don't see how that's possible already!  I couldn't go to his graduation because I had to work.  This picture shows so much of his big personality!  He's such a ham and has the biggest heart.

A couple of his recent quotes, from my sister:

I handed Evan and Kingston their breakfast and Evan says "this is local organic toast right!?"..lol he's so my child. :)

Dinner conversation: Justin: "Kingston, whats your favorite thing about mommy? Kingston:"Love" Me: AWWW! Evan: "You know Kingston that makes Jesus very happy, and you know what Kingston, Jesus is in our hearts too!" ..so proud. :)

A few weeks ago my sister, my mom and the two little guys took a very short trip down to the Oregon Coast.  They stayed at a fancy condo/townhouse that was upgraded for them because of remodeling or something.  Lucky for them!  This picture is of the younger little dude, Kingston who is the biggest goofball ever!  He's at the age where he copies EVERYTHING and EVERYONE!  At the same time, he comes up with the funniest things too and I have a feeling that this was of his own doing.  He cracks us all up all the time!  And he loves his Auntie.  Not that Evan doesn't but Kingy is also at the age where he'll still give me hugs and kisses without thinking it's icky.

 

I love these boys SO MUCH!!  They have my heart, for sure!!

And dangit, they're getting so big, too fast!

Time To Frag!!

Hey Peeps!  I've been absent, again, but thought that I'd take the time to throw up a post before I head off to work this morning and I think Fragging, since it's Friday and all, is the way to go!!

I'm working with a new girl, started on Monday by just going to meet her and then on Tuesday I started my hours with her.  She had many different ailments but the biggest one is epilepsy.  However, she has yet to have a seizure while I'm there.  I think they're easing me in and trying not to scare me away because she has multiple seizures a day before I get there and after I leave.  I still don't know what they want me to do when she has one.  Guess we'll see how next week goes.  It will be a long time before I'm alone with her, that's all I know.

Yesterday, I needed an Ark.  Today the sun is shining and rumor has it that it's going to get close to 80 this weekend!  Praying that rumor is true!  SO OVER this horrible weather so far this year!

I played Bunco last night.  My neighbor has invited me to be a sub three or four times and last night my neighbors sister said that she thinks I should become a regular.  I think it would be fun!  But I didn't say yes or no yet.

I was sharing some of Our Story last night at Bunco and my neighbor's sister said that she wanted to have a fund-raiser to raise money so that we could have a baby.  I didn't really know what to say to that because that is the first time that ANYONE has EVER even mentioned doing that!  I was sincerely touched that this lady that has only met me a handful of times would suggest and offer to do that for me.

Tomorrow is SITS Bloggy Bootcamp in Seattle.  I'm SO SO SOOOOO sad that I don't get to go!  It's so close to me!  So if you're going, you MUST tell me how it went!  

This weekend is our Community Garage Sale.  I'm NOT participating.  Thank God!  I'm going to attempt to be away from home as much of this weekend as I can!  Stay away from the craziness!  Haha!

Are you watching So You Think You Can Dance?  Last season was the first one that I started to get into and this season I'm watching it from the beginning.  Love it!  Such talented people out there in the world!

Last week, I got Milo some new food while I was at the pet supply store getting Chewy's food.  Normally I get Milo Purina One but the pet supply store doesn't carry that brand so I read about a dozen different kinds and decided on one that I thought Milo would like and would be good for him.  He was OUT of food so when I got home I poured him some.  He basically turned his nose up to it for 2 or 3 days.  Then one night this week, I was sitting on the couch watching tv.  Kyle asks me if I know that Milo puked in the computer room.  I didn't.  Then Milo goes over to Chewy's food bowl, which is just inside the kitchen.  He picks out a piece of Chewy's food and starts munching on it.  Mind you, one piece of Chewy's food is larger that Milo's mouth!  So Milo's chomping on it trying to break it up into a size that will fit his mouth and eats it!  I have NEVER seen Milo do this before!!  I took that as my sign that he hates the new food I got him and I went and got him some Purina One the next day.  Weird cat!

Have a GREAT, GREAT weekend everyone!!
