It's been too long...
Let's see, it's been a while since I posted to LJ. I don't know why it's been so long. I sort of lost interest in ....
Chris finished his first year at Duquesne and got into the Honors College. So far, he is interested in Law. Jen graduated from Pitt with a Biology major and a minor in Chemistry. She is going to go to nursing school in August, also at Duquesne.
I have been "working out" for about 7 weeks. I have not really lost weight(probably because I can not seem to stop eating), but I do fit into my clothes a bit better, and I feel really really good.
I work with weight machines for about 40 minutes and then 30 minutes of cardio, either the elliptical or tread mill. I hope to continue. I have a fun workout partner. The kids have been exercising for many months now. Chris has lost over 30 pounds!
I was off work this past week. I had not plans to go away, mostly because I am too lazy to make plans. It turned out to be a pretty awesome week! We, Willis, Jen Chris and I, went to the Pirate game last Friday. We had club seats with some friends of Willis. Pirates won, food was yummy and the burgh was beautiful!
Saturday, went to see Bridesmaids with a couple friends then out to dinner(and drinks).
Monday, friends of my Dads had a mass said for my mom. Her birthday was Sunday. She has been gone 6 months already. Hard to believe *sigh*.
Throughout the week, I caught up with some "old" friends, for lunches or dinners...it was nice.
This past Friday, I went to the Casino with some friends, and they announced my name overhead to participate in a game to win money. I went into a box that blew around fake casino money. I had to catch the papers in midair. I ended up with $1000 for free play at the casino. I stayed for hours trying to use up the fake cash, and turned it into $1000 real money!!! I can hardly believe it! (I haven't told my family how much I really won)
This weekend, I planted some bushes around the house. I had 2 Rhododendrons, 2 Azaleas, ground cover and a bush that I thought was pretty. I got some herbs planted, Basil, Cilantro and Parsley. Tomorrow, I hope to get some annuals planed into my pots.
All and all, I had a pretty nice week off.
