Yeah! It's a Three-day weekend!!

Hooray for Holidays! It's a three-day weekend due to Monday being MLK day. Shane and I cleaned the house last night so all three days will be relaxing!! I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I signed up for Tupperware at the end of November (haven't done a thing with it). I really need to get some parties book so that I have a little extra in the bank. I used to sell Tupperware back in the late 80's. Justin was a baby and we lived in Upstate NY. It went really well back in the day, so I figured to give it a shot. However, it's just like any Network Marketing, you get out of it what you put in to it!!

I started a new eating regimen. I got the meal plans out of the book "Flat Belly Diet". Now I'm not going on a diet (diets don't work unless you have a permanent change of lifestyle) I'm changing what, how much and how often I eat. I've lost 5 pounds in the past three weeks. It's very satisfying and filling. There are two other gals at BLM doing this with me. We weigh in every Wednesday at 10 am. It's a lot of fun to have others do it with me. We get to help each other and pick each other up if someone slips off track.

I've finished reading two books this month. One was from my favorite author Janet Evanovich called "Plum Spooky". She writes about a women who is a bond enforcement officer. It's hilarious. Then on a more serious note, I read "Recovering Charles". This book took me a while. I think because it was about a boy and his father who lost the Mother when the boy was young. Still kinda sensitive in this area. But it was a good book!

Tomorrow is NFL Playoffs!!! I love football. I really think the season is far too short. My Dad, Justin and I watched both games last week. They were good. Some didn't turn out the way I thought they would but all in all, it was all good. Ok so I've rambled on long enough. I hope everyone is well and good!!

Sometimes it's better not to share!

Okay so I grabbed your attention by the name of my post. Well in my January 1 post, I stated that Shane had not been feeling well. Yup! That's what I mean. Sometimes it's better not to share. Keep your germs. So I ended up sick this week. I really didn't think it was going to get me. I felt so good through the cold weather and holidays. Then Tuesday arrived and by 10:30 am I had a really bad sore throat and a slight headache. I left work about 1 1/2 early and went home to rest. Got up really early Wednesday (still feeling like pooh) and went to work early to make up the lost time. Same thing on Thursday. Thursday afternoon at my Doctors appointment, he tells me I have a sinus infection and basically a URI.

Well there was just no going today (Friday). I couldn't hardly lift my head this morning. And when it feels like your swallowing a fireball with blades. Yeah you've all been there, you know exactly what I mean. But enough winning.

Dad's been with us this week. It's been nice to have him around. He's had a couple doctor appointments, some bloodwork (yes he went all by his lonesome) and worked for Eric a couple days. Tonight he is headed to play "Rook" with some friends.

Kyle is suppose to be on his way down to Henderson for the weekend. I think tomorrow (if I feel better) we want to see a movie as a family. We have invited Kayla Scow, our cousin to go along with us. She is such a sweet, beautiful girl. I sure miss her Mom.

Justin and Tanner are out together and then going to Tanner's volleyball practice at the High School. So other than that, not much else is new. I sure wish my family would blog (hint, hint). I check all the time for Bert to post some pictures but to no avail. (Are you feeling guilty yet). Jim has been traveling but I miss ready your exciting adventures as well. Love to all....Christy

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!! We enjoyed a quiet New Years Eve at home. Shane hasn't been feeling well, so we rented movies and bought some shrimp and stayed home and watched movies. I was out like a light by 9:3o. Laugh all you want. Getting up at 4:30 am takes its toll.

Well Bert & Alisa had their baby on Monday, December 29th. Natalie Hope arrived around 1:50 P.M. Weighing in at 8 pounds and 20 inches long. She has lots of dark hard and beautiful skin color. My pictures are on my cell phone so I can't post them. So Bert will have to post soon!!

Justin is in Salt Lake for the New Years. Kyle's with Dad in Hurricane and Tanner is still in NY until Monday night.

Hope everyone has enjoyed 2008 and that 2009 holds many opportunities for you and your families!! We love you all.
