Happy New Year... Just a little late


I never do resolutions. But, never say never, right??

This year I promised myself I'd spend more time with my friends. I'm happy to report that I have been taking time out at least once a month for that very purpose. 

I'm also happy to report that 2016 has been pain free for me. I've started walking again. Running too, until I pulled ligaments in my foot. My weight is down again and my clothes are fitting more comfortably. I've managed to not need any pain medication, anti depressants, anxiety meds or even my metformin. Partly this is due to the fact that I had my last ovary removed the day before Thanksgiving. It was shitty timing, but I was eating pain killers like candy to get through work each day. As much as I wanted to wait on having the procedure done, I'm glad I didn't. The hormone replacement therapy is wonderful and I completely feel like my old self. I'm still a little afraid of waking up one day with a swollen belly and terrible pain, but the fear diminishes with every passing day. 

I've also been inspired to start blogging again. I am going to try my best to set aside time each day to either blog or work on my crafts. I currently have a scrapbook that is about a quarter complete and I also have a stack of shirts that need revamping. 

Here's to a beautiful 2016 to each and everyone!

Cookies. Why yes. Yes I'll have a case.

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

Hello New Year, Bye Bye Tonsils!

We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
