Must get in shape!

Today I started Herbalife. I used this method of weight loss before and had great results. Unfortunately I wasn't committed and went back to my bad habits after I lost what I thought was enough weight. Of course I gained all the weight back and then some. After looking at the pictures that were taken of me this weekend at Thanksgiving, I realized that I had to do something. I hardly recognized myself. I look so puffy and I hate it.

I did really well today. I had my shakes, took my vitamins, had a satisfying dinner, did my workout and drank all my water. I don't feel hungry. Overall it was a really good day.

Here's hoping that tomorrow matches up!

Thought of the day:

I refuse to remain bound!

So the past week hasn't really been the greatest.

Baby Update: I'm not growing a baby yet. BFN last week followed by my fabulous AF on Friday. Just in time to accompany me on my 8 hour car ride to MI to visit the ILs. Wonderful. Positive note: I get to use my free CBEFM that I got from a lady at work this cycle. So far I've peed on two sticks. I'm on CD7.

House Update: What the F. I hate waiting. This whole short sale business is like the biggest joke in the whole world. Short for who? Well we finally found out, at 10:17am this morning to be exact, that the bank accepted the offer but they aren't willing to pay 3% at closing. So, now we have to decide if we are willing to fork out all that money ourselves. Hmmm. They made us wait 2 weeks, we only have 2 days to make our decision.

In spite of all the crappiness that has consumed my past couple of days, I have to say that my Hubs has done his best to make me not so blah. He gave me a hand massage last night while we chatted about everything not baby or house related. I love him.

Funniest thing happened at work today

So there is this little girl at my center who is too cute. She is always in a sunny mood and talks nonstop. I love her. Everyday she wears her hair in two pigtail style french braids. Then on Fridays she likes to let loose and just wear regular pigtails. The pigtails are always all crimpy from the braids. I'll call her Lisa. Lisa is friends with this other little girl who is also a cutie but has a huge attitude. She throws fits and ya know regular 5 year old stuff. I'll call her Sarah. Well this morning, Lisa walks in to the center with her face all scrunched up not wearing her usual Friday fun pigtail hairdo. I tell her good morning and she responds with a short "hi". She hung up all of her things and without eating breakfast first, walked right over to Sara.

Lisa says in the most somber voice you can imagine coming out of a kindergartner "Sara, I have something to tell you.

Sara: What?

Lisa: I do not want to be friends with you anymore.

Sara: But Lisa we pinkie swore.... (sticks lip out and starts to pout)

Lisa: I am taking that pinkie sware back and I'm giving it to someone else.

Lisa flicked her braid off of her shoulder and went and ate breakfast. Sara ran over to her cubby and started bawling.

I looked at Lisa and she looked and me and says, "Sorry, I don't know what else to tell her. Maybe she'll be nicer to other people now."

It took everything I had not to roll on the floor laughing! It was too funny. After she had her confrontation she was back to her regular old self.

Here is an update I have on our house: No new news. Ugh. Stupid short sale. Stupid bank making up there own timeline. Annoying realtor for not telling us that this could happen. I know we'll find out but its just another waiting game that I have to deal with.

TTC Update: Still in the 'effing TWW. Boobs are sore. I had faucet ass throughout the day. That was a treat. Oh the joys of phantom symptoms.

So Anxious!

Tomorrow we are supposed to hear back from the seller about our house. Not exactly ours yet but I have faith that everything is going to work out.

So my pets this week are really stressing me out! First it was Lucy and her gross ear. Then last night, I was petting my cat and I found an effing flea! Where there is one there is a ton right!? He is an inside cat so that means that Lucy brought them in. I'm sure that she has them too. Damn it. I had to give the cat a bath. That was a treat. DH bathed Lucy. At least I didn't have to do them both.

On a positive note, my jeans came today in the mail. Oh how I love Gap Long and Lean. Totally hilarious though. I not lean and I'm far from long. Whatever they fit like a glove and I love them so that's all that matters.

I'm excited for the weekend. I'm not really doing much. DH has to work. I'll have the place to myself. I'm thinking I'm going to have a girlie night and give myself a mani-pedi and a facial. Maybe even get some wine too. I have some havarti and some pears that are begging for some wine. Anything to keep my mind off of the tww.

Yay for Hump Day!

I took Lucy to the vet this morning. And like I thought, she has a yeast infection in her left ear and a bonus, mixed with a bacterial infection too:( Poor girl. We have to put this goop in her ear twice a day and she hates it. The vet also suggested we put her on a benadryl regimen to help with her foot chewing. Hopefully it helps.

I am so glad that the election is over but now I'm depressed. I'm a republican and my man didn't win. My only positive thought about the whole thing is - can it really get any worse than it already is? I don't think so but we'll have to wait and see. I send my congrats to Pres elect Obama and to his family. Do us well Obama.

By 9:00am, two minutes ago. The seller received our offer. I hope they except. My stomach is going to be in knots until we hear something.

Here is a little tid bit I got in my inbox this morning.
You were born to win,
but to be a winner you must plan to win,
prepare to win,
and expect to win.

I want a blog too!

So after many months of reading/stalking numerous GPer blogs, I decided that I want one too! I need an outlet other than DH and my mom that doesn't judge me for what I'm thinking or feeling. Okay so readers of my blog may judge but at least I won't hear them.

It's election day today. Thank God! I am going to be so happy when all of the candidate's ads stop. I can't take it. I think what bothers me the most is that the ads are what some people base their votes on! Anyway, I sent in my ballot last week. I did my part. May the best man win.

On a more personal note. DH and I are putting in an offer on what I hope to be our very first home. I'm so excited! The house is perfect for us. Its a bi-level straight out of the 70's but I love it:) I already have all of the decorating planned out in my head. I so hope that we get it.
