Christmas

Well, Christmas came and went again and I must say, it really never felt like Christmas this year.

We had our anual work Christmas party and again I did not win anything. It was a pot luck, but there are some people from work who's cooking I just do not trust.

I spent the holiday in Spokane with the entire family and we had a great time. We ate, slept, and all took turns holding Ike. He is such a sweet boy and is so cute. We had a great time, but ran out of things to do when Ike went to bed.

All in all, it was a pretty low-key Christmas, but I think I like it better that way.

My New Favorite Thing

I have recently stopped going to the grocery store to buy large amounts of groceries because I can’t seem to eat everything before it goes bad. Because of this I tend to go to the grocery quite a few times a week but have found a new trick to make it more enjoyable. As I am picking out my cart, I pull out my iPod and select my favorite play list. This way, you don’t have to interact with the people, the time passes quickly, and if they have self checkout you can even get away without talking to the clerk.

Now, be careful in altering you choice of grocery multitasking. For example, I cannot talk on the phone and buy groceries. I don’t know why, but for some reason holding a conversation and reading labels is out of my brain capability. I must apologize to my brother Jared because he was my guinea pig to this experiment gone aria.

Try it, you won’t regret it.

The Worst Feeling Ever

I have been going to the gym almost everyday and trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. All in all, I have been feeling really good lately until last night. I flaked out on the gym and took a bath. It was quite enjoyable. I read a few chapters in my book and Max visited quite a few times.

I finished my bath and was so relaxed I could not quite convince myself to get up yet so I pulled the plug and tried to enjoy the last few moments. Let me tell you….sitting in the water as it slowly drains has to be the worst feeling ever because you keep getting heavier and heavier. Needless to say, not my most slimming moment in life.

What Should You Do?

I was using the restroom at work that has the double stalls in it. I was washing my hands and both stalls were full. One of them ripped one and then said in here sweet high voice, "Oh my, excuse me." What is the proper way to handle that situation? Everyone has to pass gas at some point and it seems like the bathroom is the designated area to do such, but what would Miss Manors say?

Free Test

As I walked into the gym last night I noticed a sign that said "Free Body Fat Test Today." I did not think much of it and proceeded to the check-in desk. As I was walking to the treadmill, a guy stopped me and asked if I wanted a body fat test to which I turned to him and said "Hell no....why do you think I am here." Thanks Gold’s Gym for the free Christmas gift, but I don't want it.

Thank You Mr. D.I.

A few weeks ago I cleaned out my closet and had a bunch of stuff to donate to the D.I. They have been in my trunk for a long time because the only time I remember they are there is when I am trying to put other things in my trunk. So, this weekend I decided to drop the stuff off and I think it was fate I waited so long. As I pulled up the person directing the donations could not stop checking out my car. He had a huge smile on his face and told me I had a really good looking car. He then started talking to me and told me I was even better looking then my car! This totally made my day. Who cares that he was missing a few teeth and had a funny smell....he said I looked better then my car! Thank you Mr. D.I. man.

L.A.M.B

For those of you out of the loop, the new Gwen Stefani CD came out this week and I love it…..well….I love all of the songs except one. Can you guess which one? I don’t like it because the lyrics are so stupid that it hurts my ears to listen to it. Any guess?

Freakin Huge

Well....Steph mocked me, but I must say I think the final product turned out quite nice. I bought the biggest wreath I could find a Target and went to town decorating it. Now my big question is where the crap am I suppose to store it.
