We need more.

I've looked everywhere for the perfect table lamp for our living room.

Instead of buying a new one we just revamped our old one and even purchased a new lamp shade! Of course, that was an ordeal and took three months to find a decent one that didn't look like our grandmothers!

YES!

Tomorrow is my first day off of work since maternity leave! I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to going to Grammy's field trip and seeing her and all of her classmates interact.

Then we're going to Kyushu! After that we're going to do some geocaching and plan on going to L,C, and J's house for Halloween trick or treating and dinner!!

Let the fun begin!

Trimming the fat?

With the holidays approaching I don't know if I should try now or wait til January 1st to start my new diet!

Heck, I'm scared that with the holidays I might even put on more weight. God knows I love my food and I'd rather work on losing it than just cutting out goodies.

Maybe I should try orovo diet pills and see if they can help me out during the upcoming months!

Exhausted.

I'm so tired. Emmy was up quite a bit last night and she's been pretty grumpy the past day.

I hope she's not getting sick.

There's nothing worst than a sick baby!

Work less. Play more.

At some point Shawna's going to go back to work. However, I'm not really sure what line of work she's going to get into.

Ideally, she'd have a part-time job or something where she can make her own hours and then with the rest of her time tend to home stuff and kids.

Maybe we should look at franchise opportunities. That way she'd be able to make her own schedule and still contribute financially!

Let's vote!

I really can't wait to vote this year. I feel like things have got to change.

God knows I come home every day and curse out the computer because I see my savings and investments go to an all time low. Let's not even talk about the kid's college fund.

Augh.

So memorable.

I'm so glad that we purchased a camcorder when I was pregnant.

We've been able to capture both births of our daughters and all of those precious things that happen when kids are young.

The ongoing joke is when people come over we ask them if they want to see our birth video!

Rain or snow?

It's nasty outside!

The past few days it's been so dark when I get up. I can't wait for daylight savings so that I can wake up and know that it's time to start my day!

I just watched the news and it's reported that we might get snow showers.

WTF??

I guess it is October though!

Must move more.

I keep saying every few weeks how I need to trim down. I'm finally down from our trip to Philly but I feel like my clothes just don't fit like they used to.

Not to mention, I've spent a lot of money on my wardrobe and so I can't afford to buy a new one!

Maybe we should get an elliptical machine so that I can workout from home.

It seems like the hardest part of working out is actually getting out of the house.

All work...

These past few weeks at work have been so busy. My boss has talked about bringing on another employee but I'm not sure that's the right answer with the economy being in shambles and noone knowing where all of this is going to go.

So far I've been able to keep up with everything and just put a few extra hours in here and there.

What kills me is when I'm on the road and don't have access to phone or email. Typically I check in and make calls throughout the day.

I just need more time in the day!

They worked for Shawna!

Maybe I should try diet pills too!

When Shawna resigned to stay home with Graem she was prescribed a few diet pills. To say the least they were what jumpstarted her weight loss and she was able to get down to an all time low.

The good thing was that after she had lost some of the weight it was much easier to lose more.

Let the diet begin!

Yesterday as we were driving home we decided that we should start our diet. It was nice because after having delicious food all week in Philly it was easy to have a light meal last night!

Of course, it's lunch time now and I'm STARVING!

Maybe I should just go to the treadmills at the local gym instead of McDonalds.
