Good Weekend

Hey I'm blogging! :D


This weekend has started out great! Had Mel and Rob stay overnight on Friday for dinner and a fire outside. Made TONS of food, but I was good and stuck to WW friendly stuff. I had 3 Margarita's afterward with Mel but because I was good with dinner I didn't feel guilty about it. The boy was a little monster and ate an entire rack of back ribs, half a baked potato, and two cobs of corn! Crazy, he ate more then I did. Speaking of my monster he had his first spelling test on Friday, and HE GOT 100 PERCENT!!! Totally awesome! I'm so proud of him! We are taking him out to lunch for McDonald's and he asked for a new Bakugan toy. Rewarding a perfect score sits pretty well with both J and I.

Tonight is going to be dinner with the Pierce's. Can't wait! It's going to be fun! J and I are bringing ribs, and dessert, and also a recipe that J made last night that didn't get touched, Potatoes Gratin. I also bought them a couple bottles of wine. I found out Tom likes my girly Wild Vines Blackberry Merlot, so I figured we could have a glass. The dessert I'm making is called a Cappuccino Torte. Basically, an Angel Food Cake that has been made with coffee instead of water. Add some chocolate and whipped cream. YUMMY...I hope?

Uber BLARG!

OMG I feel sore and tired. I did an awesome work out on Tuesday night, but holy cow I'm barely walking today. Anyway, to update:

-The boy is in grade 1 and is not so hot about it. Going to school everyday, plus tests, plus more work and less play equals, "MOMMY I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!!!". Oh well, better get used to it, kid. (He picked out his own outfit. omg I need to teach the kid color co-ordination!)

-My monster is now officially registered in an all boy's hip-hop class in our town. It will be once a week and not on the same nights as my work outs so it's perfect. It's even within walking distance of the house so if I stay in town that night J can walk him over. The Monster is really excited about it! :)

-The car was in the stealership again today. One sensor for the air bag equals $545. Yay. This is on top of the $445 for the replacing the oil pan, removing the heatsheilds, oh yeah, and the $109 for the car rental for 2 days. yay.

-Playing Vanguard again. Am now a level 46 warrior and we are perusing the guilds to start raiding in the near future. I'm not sure how well I'm going to do at that. I'm a "play for a half hour at a time kinda girl" and raids generally require about 2-3 hours of focus. I'll try anything once.

-WW is back on again. I'm battling back the 12lbs summer that came back. It's going okay. I'm happy to be back on plan and feel I can stay in my limits. The one thing I hate about gaining back the weight is you lose 30+ off your whole body. When you gain back 12 it goes directly to your waist, thus screwing up the fit of all your pants. SIGH. Note to self to renew my acquaintance with my treadmill.

-Christmas and The Monster's birthday are coming up fast. Time to start planning.

Blog ya later.
