Excitement

I am so excited but I can't quite share what I am excited about at this time. Once what is making me so excited is completed I will post pictures. Just a small hint, the last 4 days have had some ups and downs. To be continued....

Happy Easter

Colleges

Colleges. We have been visiting Colleges over the past 2 months with Jordan. I have been able to attend 2 visits out of the 3 that he has attended. Jordan will bave to make a decision soon if he is going to transfer or spend one more year at a junior college. We as parents can offer advise but the final decision will be his.

Finally!

I finally lost 20 lbs. Hurrah!!! It took quite a long time and a lot of ups and downs but I am glad for the most part I have not given up. There is still more to go, but I am happy the 20 are gone.

2112

So today is 2112 wasn't that a RUSH album? Happy Feburary 1st 2012.

How is 2012 going so far....

We are now 22 days into the new year and how are things going? For the most part, pretty well. I have been at my job for 8 months now working less hours then at my last job and I somehow feel that I have less time to get things done outside of work then I had before. Thinking about it, I think it's because I get so much more done in my day at my current job then I ever did at my last job. There is so much more to do and more responsiblity at my current job then at my last job to squeeze into an 8-9 hour work day. Now when I came home, I am much more tired and don't want to do very much except to maybe settle in and relax for the evening. I am hoping that once winter weather starts to leave and we see spring arrive I will have more energy to want to do more. So for the most part except for being tired, nothing major has happened in the 1st 22 day of 2012.

Happy New Year 2012

May this year bring great joy and happiness

Resolutions for 2012

Lets see, what shall I make for my Resolutions for 2012 1-Since I am doing Weight Watchers TRACK TRACK TRACK what I consume and follow the plan better than I did in 2011 2-Similar to above excersise to help me succeed with #1 3-Again with #1 I have tons of healthy cookbooks and magazines so VOW to cook at least 1 healthy recipe a week. 4-Take more pictures. As I look at 2011 I barely took pictures. I want to try and take a picture a day. That is a big order, but I am sure that there is always something going on that is picture worthy. 5-Continue with the same attitude I started with at the job I started in May of 2011. Do your job and don't get involved or emotional about any of the BS that happens in the office. Go with the flow and accept any and all changes with little or no complaints. 6-Tell my family members I love them often. 7-Focus on Me and my spouse more. and finally 8- have the will power to accomplish all of the above. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope if you have a resolution that you find the will power and mind set to stick with it.

Merry Christmas a day late

I neglected to post a Merry Christmas here yesterday. Since we lost Dillinger on Christmas Eve, we have just been going through the motions of Christmas without really feeling the day. Hard to be happy when you lose a family member. So a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Sad Day Today

Today is a very sad day at our home. We had to but our dog Dillinger down. He was sick a couple of weeks ago and we thought it was a sinus infection or a tooth that got infected and the infection got into his sinus cavity. The vet put him on an antibiotic and a pain killer and Dillinger bounced back to his old self. Yesterday he started up again with a bloody nose and reverse sneezing. This morning he wasn't any better barely moving and blood still coming out of his nose. I was sitting in the dining area when I heard a strange sound I looked and saw poor Dilly having a seizure. We called the vet and they told us to bring him in. It took quite a long time after his seizure for him to reconize any of us for us to get close to him but we were able to get him to the car and to the vet. Once the vet examined him we were told that by the looks of the swelling on the top of his head that he either had a brain tumor or he had sinus polyps that had encroached on his brain. Either way they said it would probably be best to put him down. We could have waited until after Christmas but after seeing how Dilly could barely stand up and discussing how if something were to happen Christmas eve night or Christmas day, we with very sad hearts decided to stop his suffering and have him put to sleep. I really didn't think I would take it as hard as I did. He was my pain in my butt in a good way, but such a loyal and good dog and protector. We will miss his playfulness and those sad eyes when he wanted to be petted. RIP Dillinger Dillinger Christmas 2010
