So far, not so good...


Okay, so I'm not the best at blogging yet. I have thought about it on a number of occasions. Does that count? Didn't think so. Well, since my last (and only) entry, I have done a number of things I could have written about. In December alone, my family went on a Caribbean cruise, celebrated Christmas, and went to California to visit Disneyland and to see some of our sorely missed friends. We spent New Year's Eve with our best friends, and for the first time EVER, the boys beat the girls in Trivial Pursuit. Of course, they had super easy questions about Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter! I am certain Keri & I will not let that happen again!!

We finally have all our Christmas decorations put away for another year. Now I have to find the motivation to clean before re-setting our everyday decor. However, I think getting caught up on Desperate Housewives will take precedence! LOL!

Speaking of television, I am very excited about the upcoming premiere of Season 6 of 24! I will be glad when Jack gets rid of his Chewbacca look though! The Apprentice LA started last night. I thought it had some interesting new twists.

On another note, Max has his first loose tooth. He discovered it yesterday while at my niece's birthday party. He is anxious to get that tooth out and have his first visit from the tooth fairy. I have no idea what the going rate is for a tooth these days. I think we'll go with $1.00 or maybe $2.00.

Max started taking Tae Kwon Do last week. He came home very excited and quite cute in his do bock (that's what they call the uniform)! He has to practice stretching but he wanted to practice kicking and punching...us! Not good!

Scott went back to L.A. today. He will be there all week. We'll get him home for the weekend and then he'll be gone again all next week too. We miss him when he is gone.

Last week, I joined (or should I say rejoined) Weight Watchers. I must start taking my diabetes VERY seriously or else I will be in for some major health issues, and I already have enough problems. Instead of setting a weight goal (even though losing weight is a great side effect), I am going to focus on eating healthy & exercising 4 - 5 times a week. My goal, then, is to get off some of my medications. I am only 35 years old, and I take enough medication for a 65 year old. I take 3 blood pressure meds, 2 diabetes meds, 1 cholesterol med, 1 for my thyroid & 1 for my PMDD. The thyroid med & PMDD are here to stay but I would love to say goodbye to the rest of them!
