About Me
I am 36 years old. Happily married in 2000 to a wonderful man who I met on the internet. :o) I have a step-daughter who is soon to be married. I moved from Indiana to Georgia in 2000, talk about your culture shock! I'm by no means perfect, but I am striving to be the woman God would have me to be. Proverbs 31 is my goal, but I am still a work in progress. What is this blog About My Friends My Etsy Store My Links Archives

Friday, January 07, 2005 New Year. New Me?Well, like countless other people at the beginning of a new year I am working at loosing weight. I am not really one for "New Year's Resolutions" but it is a good time for a fresh start. My goal is to loose 50 pounds. I started on January 3 and have lost 3.5lbs so far. I am trying to watch what I eat using some guidelines that I used before from Weight Watchers and doing Windsor Pilates. Pilates are wonderful! I have a bulging and a herniated disk that give me trouble on occasion, but Pilates incorporates some of the exercises that my Chiropractor wanted me to do. My short term goal is to loose about 20lbs. so I can wear some shirts that I have that "don't quite fit". I want to look good, but my main reason for loosing weight is my health. I'm no spring chicken you know. ;o)Chrisi Coffee Talk at 9:58 AM

Thursday, January 06, 2005 Heather's BackHeather arrived back from Oregon last night. Her flight was to arrive in Nashville at 6:35pm. We allowed 3 hours and still cut it close. My hubby was making me really nervous darting around cars on the road. It was probably not as bad as it seemed, but I was so nervous that my heart was racing and I felt nauseous. My husband is wonderful, but when he is under pressure to get somewhere at a certain time, he gets in too big a hurry. Well, he dropped me off at the door about 6:30pm so I could go meet Heather. She did not end up landing until 6:45pm, so we had plenty of time. She was so tired, she hardly said anything. We went to get her bag downstairs, I bet we waited 15-20 minutes. Then another belt started up for two flights that came in quite a bit later than her flight. After a little longer the belt finally started and the luggage started coming around for her flight. Then they announced that the luggage for that flight was on the other belt. So we went over there to wait for her luggage. While we were waiting they instructed two other flights to different belts. The screens above the belts were never changed to reflect the correct flight, it was pretty chaotic. We were able to get Heather's bag without too much trouble after we found the right belt.When we left the airport we started back to Georgia, looking for 24. We were not sure if we needed 24 East or West so we were looking for the exit sign that said Chattanooga. We were in an area where there was a lot of construction going on, so the signs were not so specific. We did not know which lane we needed to be in until the last minute and could not get back over. We ended up in downtown Nashville. We got to see a bit of Nashville before we found our way back to the right road. :o) Overall I have to say the trip went fairly well, nothing too serious happened. We arrived home about 11:30pm. Today is the first day of school for Heather after Christmas break. I hope it goes well for her. In Oregon they are 3 hours behind us. So, when Heather woke up at 6am this morning it was like getting up at 3am for her. Tonight Heather will be opening presents again. She has quite a few gifts under the tree from her two grandmas, aunts & uncles. Chrisi Coffee Talk at 8:29 AM

Wednesday, January 05, 2005 Isn't she a doll?This is our niece Megan and her new dog Jeb that she got from Santa. Can't you tell she is tickled to death over him? She carried him around all day on Christmas day. Poor thing, you could tell he was pooped. She was telling us what she got for Christmas, "A puppy, a bicycle and a tooter (scooter)."Chrisi Coffee Talk at 10:04 AM

Me & JennaThis is my adorable 3 year old niece and me. She is so full of energy, constantly on the go. She is also quite the chatter box. My hubbie and step-dad drove to get her and my hubbie said she talked just about the whole way there (which is about 1.5 hours). He said at one point she wasn't even talking to them, she was just talking. I already miss her.Chrisi Coffee Talk at 9:31 AM

Tuesday, January 04, 2005 New Year!Well, as I previously said we were able to go to Indiana this last weekend. On New Year's Eve my hubbie & I went to Damon's with my mom, step-dad and nephew. After that we went home and then headed to downtown Kokomo minus my mom by her choice. Since New Year's Eve 1999 they drop a lighted ball in the middle of downtown Kokomo, like Times Square only much smaller. :o) I did not get to see any of my friends that night, because I am a ding dong. When we got back I found out that the Z92Five (the local radio station I used to work for) van was downtown covering the New Year Festivities. I just didn't think about it while we were there. :o(Saturday I was able to catch up with a couple friends and see thier cute little boy. He is a year old and this was the first time I got to see him. He is such a doll, unfortunately none of the pictures I took of him came out very good. I really enjoyed watching my hubbie play with the kids. All of the nieces & nephews call him Uncle Buzz, it is so cute to hear the little ones say it. :o) Overall we had a great weekend, at least I did. :o) Chrisi Coffee Talk at 4:12 PM

Jake & TyWe were able to go to Indiana for the weekend and got a big surprise. We were surprised by a visit from Ty. He was just released from the hospital last week and we did not think they would bring him down to my mom's (it's a 2.5 hour drive). I got lots of sweet little pictures of him, of course. This is one of my favorites, big brother Jake holding him. |
