Thought I should post before the year is over. It’s been a pretty good year for the most part. The worst thing that happened would have to be my sister’s illness at the end of May/beginning of June. She was in the hospital for quite a few days and really had us all scared. Anytime anyone is in the hospital and the doctor’s can’t tell you what is wrong, THAT right there is scary! She obviously is ok now and we did get to all go on our trip to California, so that was great times!
The best thing? DUH, my engagement!! June 25, 2006 ;) Which was also our 8th anniversary together. I am still amazed and shocked about that whole day!! It was SUCH a picture perfect day. We had SO much fun. Bowling, putt-putt golf, dinner at my favorite restaurant (Mimi’s Cafe) and then THAT humongous surprise on top of it… unbelievable!
Right now I really need to clean up our kitchen and get all of our “crap” laying around put away where it belongs. There is just stuff everywhere in the living room AND kitchen! Everything needs a “home” and a place to go. It would make me feel so much better to have it all cleaned up and the clutter gone. Tomorrow night my sister and mom are coming over for New Years. I got some alcoholic beverages and we got some stuff to make snacky foods.
Monday, we are starting a huge diet. I have gained somewhere between 5-10 lbs from what I lost earlier this year and I want to lose lose lose more!! We’ve been eating BAD lately trying to eat all of our favorite things before it comes to a screeching hault on Monday. My work has started a “Biggest Loser” competition. We are all weighing in every Monday morning and by April 1st, whoever has lost the most weight will get a prize (still undisclosed at this time). Talk about major motivation! Gene and I will be walking 45m-1hr M-F, 20 crunches (first week, 30 next, etc. etc.) M-F, and 5 MIN on each arm w/barbell weights M-F. Saturday is our rest day and Sundays we will try to play a game of tennis. I want to lose weight and I realize that exercise is going to have to be a key part in this if I want to lose it on a more efficient level.
Anyway, blah blah. I hope everyone has a fun and SAFE New Year’s Eve. And wishing the absolute best to everyone in 2007! Hell, it just might be the year I get married in ;) Might…
Happy New Year!
Sounds like – despite some of the sadder moments of the year – you had a decent one! I hope the new year brings you lots of happiness and joy and excitement. You deserve it!! I hope you had a good New Year’s, as well. ♥
