flu

I am pretty sure I have the flu and at this moment I feel like death.

update: so no flu but I do have an upper respitory infection. I still feel like death.

Tuesday Blues

I am so bummed that Heath Ledger died. It's not like I knew him personally or anything but somehow I just find it so sad. Perhaps it was because it was so young or that he has a little daughter or because he happened to star in one of my all time favorite movies (10 things I hate about you).






Well I didn't have to work today but I sure didn't have any fun either. I spent 3 hours at the dentist having a crown and a filling done. Both of which they had to go back in and give me more shots to numb me. Glad it's over now but definitely not pleasant.

Then I took Gracie to petsmart to get her nails done and she decides to poop there. Yeah me!

Mat and I went to the Y tonight and I managed to get in 30 minutes of cardio. I was hoping it would help my attitude but no luck. I have been grumptastic this week.

I think I am going to go hop in bed now before my attitude gets any worse.

Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 6 year wedding anniversary. Wow, 6 years! That blows my mind.

I scanned and uploaded a few wedding photos.

meetings vs online

I know quite a few of you guys are doing weight watchers. Some online and some going to meetings. Why did you pick one over the other?

Hungry Kitty

Mat sent this cute little kitty video today and since I know so many of you are cat lovers I thought you might enjoy it!

It's fun to stay at the YMCA......

Mat and I finally had a chance to use one of our free day passes at the Y last night. It was nice. I felt pretty comfortable and not out of place. They Y is really kid friendly. In fact it seems most things there revolve around kids. I was also impressed with the fact no one tried to "sell" us like when you go to the other gyms. They were just all nice and friendly. They have this aerobics class there called Zumba which I just can't wait to try.

Zumba : A FUN cardio workout incorporating unique dance moves with an international flair. This class is high energy but low impact

So overall it was nice to have a positive feeling about exercising!

Somehow I managed to get this weekend off. It has been great! I needed it. I have been really stressed out about work lately and it has not been helping my blood pressure. My doctor wants in the 110's over 70's for pregnancy and it unfortunately has not been close. (more like 130/90) I am sure the exercise will help too.

Mat and I have been having a mini tv marathon today. We watched about 6 episodes of Dexter on DVD. A little sick and twisted - it's been great! :)

hey guys!

Yes I have been completely awful at blogging lately. No big surprise there really. I actually even have something to blog about...A NEW CAR! Not only is a NEW car it is my first ever NEW car. My parents were very generous up until this point in my life passing down their used cars but there is just something about owning your first NEW car.

Oh how I love my new car. So far my only major gripe with it is that it has XM instead of my beloved Sirius. I keep hoping for that merger to happen.

I kept holding off blogging about it until I took some pictures but apparently it seems beyond me to find my camera charger.

Anyway, it is a 2008 Nissan Rogue in Venom Red. I cannot believe I have a red car but wow its gorgeous. (Now I'm just fretting that almost $500 a month car payment - OUCH!)
