Posting this real quick and just want to do nothing.

Cleaned house this morning….. I kept trying to call Mom this afternoon to see if she would watch Katie while we went out but no answer > no answer > no answer. We wanted to go to a mall in another town, so we all loaded up. First stop was this awesome pet shop! We’ve been there before. I got to hold a 5 month old Macaw (bird)! Went to the mall & browsed for a few hours. Last stop was Wal-Mart and then I was ready to go home & just annoyed.

Gonna munch on food and watch OTH rerun.

HAPPY FRIDAY! My day has been good. =) I got my replies done for college this morning, spent some time again with my neighbor while Katie napped & started helping her with her calories for weight loss! I love anything to do with health, so this makes me super happy to help her! I took Katie outside after her snack and we walked around the block then I let her play for a bit before coming back in to fix dinner! Brad came home, loaded up, took Katie to Mom’s then usual grocery stuff. I’m gonna try my egg/cottage cheese/turkey sausage breakfast combo again… except with gluten-free bread of course.

highlights>>>
– Stress “B” Gone liquid vitamins
– gluten-free brownie mix
– Trop50 orange juice
– 2 bras for $10… heck YES

Yup….. that’s about it! Happy girl tonight =)

oh and our bettas are ready to mate! he made a bubble nest and she is fatter today (full of eggies!) so we took out their divider and so far, they’ve just been flirting, lol we’ll see what happens. gotta keep an eye on them. another good day with calories/food tracking! the carb withdrawls weren’t as bad today… thank goodness. i was so tired last night from it. would really like to watch another OTH rerun before bed :] buttttt not sure if I will or not.

thankful for another day!

Gah, Katie has been DEMANDING and irritating today. I just want to relax tonight, so this entry isn’t going to be anything special. I did WONDERFUL with keeping track of my food/calories today. Feeling kindof “meh” tonight because of the carb withdrawls after eating so much the last week or so, hah. I got some exercise done today! Besides the usual housework/run around, I did 10 minutes on the Wii Active, followed by some time fast walking on the treadmill while watching my OTH rerun. Once again the rerun made me cry!!!!!! Episode 1 of season 4 where Nathan is in the wheelchair. And the last scene between Nathan and Jamie = AAAAAAH. Totally made me cry. I also went on a walk with Katie this afternoon and we got to soak up some more sun! Of COURRRRRRSE she threw a LOUD fit when I brought her home. She told me she needed to go potty, so I took her home. Oh and got some FREE litter from my neighbor so yay for that! Ummm, got one of my college discussions done this evening while Katie watched cartoons and then she has just been demanding and hyper all evening = ANNOYING.

Just want to sit and relax since I am spent. Brad’s been asleep on the couch for about 2 hours now so he will prob stay up later, lol. Hmmmmm, wonder why he’s sleepy? Could it be because we’ve stayed up late the last 2 nights for SOME reason?! ;D Love it. I’m gonna post this and decide whether I wanna play TEMPLE RUN or watch another OTH rerun?!?! I just know I am thankful, grateful, and blessed for everything in my life. <3

Wowie…. I am LOVING THIS WEATHER. I wanted desperately to get outside today! I did a bit of college stuff this morning, but gotta sit down tomorrow and read quite a bit. Umm watched my OTH rerun and cried like a baby at the season 4 last episode. So much stuff was going on at once! After Katie’s snack, we went walking outside! The sun was so nice….. really gonna start to work on my tan. Anyway, we eventually ended up walking over to my Mom’s house to say hi! I told her that Brad and I planned on going to the store after he got off work, so Mom offered to keep Katie while we went out but said she didn’t have anything for Katie to eat. However, my cousin and aunt walked in with dinner, lol so she said she would keep Katie. Brad called me when he got off work looking for me. =) Anyway, I eventually walked back home, fixed a quick dinner then we headed off!

First stop was Microcenter, since Brad has been on the search for wireless headphones so he can exercise and watch Netflix on the treadmill….. yea, for $90! We stayed there a good while then went to Whole Foods so I could pick up a few things since I ate a lot of my foods I bought on Friday… haha. Last stop was [of course] Wal-Mart. Brad found wireless headphones there for $70. Nooooope. Got some foods and came back to get Katie & brought her home & put her to bed.

Trying to catch up online, did this and that… then get ready for bed! Hope everyone has had a great day. I’ve got my food all planned out for tomorrow, so I’m gonna focus on a planned amount of calories instead of just randomly eating too much. BACK ON TRACK!

I’m thankful for another Sabbath Day. I’m thankful that I got to teach my kids at church today. I’m thankful that it was another GORGEOUS day outside. I’m thankful that I told Brad what was bothering me and that we talked about it. I’m thankful to be alive for another day….. thankful for all the things that Heavenly Father has given me. I know every day is a gift.

So, this is random… but I want some orange juice! This evening we watched a rerun eppy of OTH, then after Katie went to bed we watched the newest episode of FRINGE. Seems like forever since we’ve seen the last episode sooooo including tonight’s episode there will be 8 new episodes.

We let Molly out of the bathroom this evening and she is looooooooving every second of attention, lol. She’s been scratching and tearing up the bottom of one of the bathroom doors, so we tried to nail the little hangable scratching post my Mom gave us to the bottom of the door, haha.

Time to spend some time with my love before bed! <3 I’m thankful.

I’m always in a hurry when I post my entries! Anyway. I got up late this morning since we went to bed after 3AM lol. After Katie was up, fed, etc, fed Molly, cleaned house…. Brad slept till like 2pm. We were trying to decide where to go / what to do. Got frustrated & didn’t know. We got ready then went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and Katie whined/cried THE WHOLE TIME. *sigh* Brad and I both were irritated. Whatevs. We came back home and Brad went to the bedroom and shut the door. Yea, ok. Katie wouldn’t eat her snack & just sat there and cried….. she was exhausted. Put her in BED. I decided instead of just sitting at home, I WAS GETTING OUT. Took my bike, purse, and headed out ON MY BIKE. I took a long, long, long bike ride and went to a pet place and one of the birds bit me, haha. I want a ferret! Anyway. Left and went to check out Family Dollar, then onto Big Lots, where I got some cheap gluten free crackers for me and Brad plus a notepad. Oh, and water. Came back home, gave some extra frozen food to my cousin, checked on my neighbor who had surgery, and my neighbor gave my upstairs neighbor the little outside kitten!

Been munching way too much today but oh well. Anyway, gonna study my church lesson, take a shower, and possibly watch this week’s Biggest Loser. I’m so glad I got out and rode my bike in the beautiful weather… best of all I was by myself! I’m really trying to branch out and have an OUTSIDE life.

Time to build my own life outside of being a stay at home frustrated Mom.

Just an average morning / lunch routine around here… got to watch my OTH rerun & worked on a bit of college in the morning. It was gloomy outside and wasn’t as warm, but was nice.

Brad came home, we eventually loaded up, took Katie to Mom’s then WHOLE FOODS! I got some nutritional bars, almond butter, gluten free panda puffs cereal, some more extra virgin coconut oil, whey protein powder, and … I’m sure I’m forgetting something I got. Oh yeah, gluten free Udi’s multigrain bread. We went outside to eat after we were done shopping. I had my KOMBUCHA + a gluten free carrot cake bar & a gluten/soy/dairy free dark chocolate bar for dessert. Went onto Wal-Mart and got a new enclosed litter pan for Molly + an engraved name tag (yay!), some more canned cat food, a new dish, and then we decided to get a male and female BETTA FISH! We used to have two males back in 2005 or 2006 and I’ve missed having bettas. Got lots of other food goodies but not gonna name it all – but I did get more gluten-free rice krispies! and banana chips, which I am currently snacking on.

So, Brad’s working on a name for the male betta – but both my female betta and our kitty are named after INCUBUS songs! Molly’s full name is “Anna Molly”, but we just call her Molly. I decided to name the female betta Isadore. =) We plan on attempting to breed the bettas when the male shows signs of “being ready”. We’ll see how that goes. Found an ADORABLE tiny 14 ounce puppy on craigslist so I emailed them to ask about it…. awwww. I’d like to have a tiny puppy.

Anyway. Have had a very good evening!!!

GAAAAAAAH. I just watched the latest One Tree Hill. Can’t believe Dan is gone. Only two episodes left until the show is over…. no no no no noooooo!!!! Don’t want it to end dangit!

Today was busy, yet good. Got up, ran around to tend to Katie, Molly, and my neighbors kitties. I let Molly out of the bathroom to roam around the house for a bit, but Katie scared her so she ran back into the bathroom. Put Katie down for nap, got on the exercise bike while I watched my OTH rerun (I’m at the point where Lucas JUST found out Dan was the one who killed Keith… ironic considering the new episode!) and then got Katie up, fed her, etc. Worked a little on my college paper and wrote letters to my church sisters. Took Katie outside to play for about an hour and of course she pitched a fit when we came in. I got her dinner ready for later, my dinner ready to take with me to Mom’s, and fed Molly. Found out that my neighbor came home from the hospital today! She of course had surgery yesterday. Hoping she can recover quickly. Soooooooo, I headed out to walk to Mom’s and had a great time talking to her. Came home after 9pm and it was starting to thunder/lightning so I hurried home and made it!

I’m so thankful for everything. Still thinking one the One Tree Hill episode. I can’t express how much that show means to me. I’m gonna miss it for sure.
