My Interview from Fairy Flutters

1) I know you travel a lot and love to plan vacations, what has been your most favorite and why?

Key West. We love Key West. Best of everything. Snorkely, partying, drinking, food. Total adult get away. I love Key West.

2) You are planning a party for people you only know online but have never met, who would you invite and why? Limit the number to the amount of people that could fit around your dinner table.

Fairy Flutters, Pioneer Woman, Ashley from Ashley's Closet, More Than a Minivan Mom, Multi-slacking Mamalicious and this local guy, who I think is hillarious, The Loaf Master

3) If you were suddenly a stay at home mom instead of a working outside the home mom, what would you do all day? Describe a typical day. (Oh, and in this scenario, you are on a very limited budget. :P)

Probably clean, cook and go to playdates. I might even home school.

Wake up, make dh's lunch, get the girl up and fed. Clean up the house a little. Go to the park, playdate, errands, whatever. After lunch is nap time. Probably my TV time, surf time, nap time. Fix dinner. Call it a day.

4) What are your bad habits?

diet pepsi

5) If you could go back in time and change one thing that you have done, what would it be?

I would have studied in High School. I would have really tried to go away to a four year college and got a great degree. I think those things would have changed the outcome of the rest of my life.

Ok, if you want to be interviewed, just leave me a comment.

So Far . . . .

Well, I had my one diet pepsi. I did crave one earlier, but I didn't succumb. I'm also craving chocolate. But, I keep telling myself no. Its just a few days of no and I know that the urges will go away. Tonight will be hard for the first day. Its a meeting with refreshments afterward. Like tons of food to nibble on. I wish I didn't have to go.

I spent cash today. I guess I need to modify that goal, so that I'm just not blowing money either. I think tomorrow I will go for a walk at lunch and not a store to browse. But, if you interested, Pier One Imports has a ton of stuff on sale.

Still have a son residing in my house.
Church is on Sundays.
See above about weight and me abstaining from Chocolate - go me :)
My first comittee meeting is Thursday.

Not bad for today :)

I Forgot a Couple More . . .

5. Attend church regular. Yeah, I'm a slacker on this one. I attended services today. Its a small presbyterian church just growing. They are building a permanent facility in the near future. The church I'm an actual member of 25 miles away is tithing to their church to help build it.

Gosh I got emotional at the service. It was very uplifting. I think I'll go back next week and take Rebecca. Its a small congregation, but they all seemed really happy to be there.

6. Become more involved in my local community. We have so many ties to Orlando. Seems like everything we do and everyone one we know is Orlando. I really need to make a concerted effort to be more involved closer to home.

I've taken a small step already. I've volunteered to help plan our City's 125 birthday. I figure its a step in the right direction.

Ok, that's it. My goal is to update daily. Try not to forget these goals. Tomorrow is first day of water switch over. I have 4 diet pepsi's left. I'm going to have one a day till there are no more. Wish me luck :)

Happy New Year!!!

Well, its a new year. With it comes some goals. I hate calling it resolutions. So, I've set a few goals.

1. A cash only year. Reduce debt and spend less.

2. No more diet pepsi. Water only at work. I do drink diet sprite and sierra mist at home. But, diet pepsi is an expensive habit. I don't need the caffiene either.

3. Drop this last 20 lbs. Preferably before May. I got the Wii Fit for Christmas. Its great and I want to stick to it.

4. Somehow get my son self-sufficient and on his own. I really don't enjoy him living here. He would do some much better in his own place.

Four. There ya go. I think that's a good start.
