Been doing good

March 15th, 2009 at 03:16 pm

So, I know I haven't been on for a few days, and I am really proud to say that yesterday my mother in law wanted to go to costco with me and I am really happy to say that I walked out of there with only 2 items, and both of which I needed!! Batteries and a mop.

Friday we went out and bought our Wii, its so much fun, now I just want to save up for a Wii fit so I can really start exercising.

I still haven't eaten fast food, well, I take that back, I ate at Captain D's with my mom on wednesday and truth be told, I didn't enjoy it at all, all I tasted was grease and salt. Can't believe my taste buds have changed that much in a couple of weeks, its getting much easier to dismiss my cravings for something more satisfying that I can make at home. Only problem is that sometimes I find myself devouring candy, which of course is not good, so im learning to work on that too.

My dad got a bonus from his work friday and he gave us the money to get two tires and an alignment done on our car and quite honestly, I felt defeated about it, still do kinda, but he told me that I should ask around and he would pretty much guarantee that any newlyweds with parents that can help have accepted help from them, so I shrugged my shoulders and said thank you. I know I know, maybe I should have not bought the Wii and paid for the tires, but I get so frustrated and torn between what has to be done and what we want, and that was probably a stupid decision and most likely why I feel guilty.

Just finished looking through the paper, think I will go to Target later this week to pick up paper towels, they have them on sale and I think I might have some coupons too, gotta check though.

Well, I'm going to go make some lunch with hubby. Talk to you all later.

Thanks again for all the support.

Wii, Crafting and other things i feel like talking about.

So recently, well, for a while I have been wanting to get into some sort of crafting. Back in highschool I used to make homemade cards and I liked it, I just couldn't concentrate on it. So yesterday I was supposed to buy a pair of shoes that were being held at a store, only they were not the right ones so I didn't buy them, they would have been about $25 bucks. So I went to Michaels in an effort to squelch my creative side for less than 25 dollars. I have been on ADD meds for about 4 months now and it makes a world of difference in how long I can work on something. I bought two cardmaking kits and got 6.00 off with a 40% coupon. I have made about 16 cards and they are sooo cute! I can't wait to get more stuff to make more, but I know I won't until I get rid of these, not sure what to do with them all now that they are made!

I still can't wait to get my Wii on friday!! I'm excited!!

Right now I am suffering from a migraine/sinus headache and I think I am going to go and lie down and see if I can get rid of it and something smells like feet in my office....i can't figure it out. I have a kink/knot in my back and can't wait to go to the chiropractor tomorrow.

Anywho, thats all for now, must get rid of my headache before my nieces come over for the evening, Katherina is almost 5 and Brianna is almost 2.

Talk to you tomorrow hopefully, and thanks for all the wonderful welcomes and comments.
