Just another day
Nothing very exciting, same old stuff. Tyler stayed home from work though, he took a vacation day because of the long weekend, so that was nice. We didn't do anything really fun or useful though, lol. I DID, however, clean Natalia's room and the office, yay me! If you had seen the office, you would know what an accomplishment that actually was! Oh, and Tyler fixed the vacuum cause the belt broke the other day and I couldn't figure it out. So that was nice, I can vacuum again, lol. I plan on cleaning a lot more tomorrow. I'm supposed to go hang out with Stephanie, but she needs to buy some candle holders for the centerpieces for the tables at her reception and she is getting them at Michaels. Their was coupons in the Sunday paper for Michaels, so there is usually those same coupons in Food Day, but there was not this week, so she can't buy the rest, so we probably will NOT be working on those tomorrow. Maybe she has other wedding stuff she would like me to help with, who knows. She will not be happy to hear about the lack of coupons though, cause she has to get the rest of the candle holders soon. Anyway, that's not that exciting.
We got back from Spokane last night. It was a boring trip, but Natalia had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa, so much so, she keeps asking for them. She is so cute but doesn't really understand why she can't see them. We saw the movie Madagascar while we were up there, and Natalia loved it. It was alright, not as bad as Shark Tale, but no where near as good as Shrek 1 or 2 (it was done by Dreamworks). We walked around the mall there while waiting for the movie, and I found some cool skirts that I got, one was blue, and the other pink. Not like I wear a lot of skirts, but it is nice to have some options, especially since I'm losing weight, it is nice to have some clothes that don't fall off. I have had to buy a few new pair of pants as well, aww, isn't that awful! Just so everyone knows, the official lost weight is 35 pounds currently. I need to lose about 25 more, so I'm over half way, how cool is that? Now I just need to actually work on it some, it shouldn't be that hard, but for some reason I always find something else to do. I need to make exercise a priority! I guess I could technically lose more than 25, but I don't know if that is realistic or not, I could lose another 35 ideally, but who knows.
We got our tax refund today FINALLY! The IRS sent it to the wrong address the first time, that's why it is so late. Now we can pay off some more bills yay!
Ok, I think that is about all that is going on. Oh yea, my brother is probably coming up to visit again by the end of this week. I don't know how long he plans on staying, but I suppose I will find out. We need to get some new foam cushion stuff for the couch. I have to remember to call and find out how to do that, lol.
Also, strawberry season is almost here, and although I am not picking any to make jam, I would like to get some to make pies and just eat fresh. I'm taking friend reservations for those who want to go! :)
