Saturdays

I love Saturdays.  Saturday is probably my favorite day of the week because I get so much accomplished.  Today Jerod and I headed into Shelbyville to pick up the dry cleaning, get hair cuts, and wash the new Jeep.  We then headed over to visit Granny and then now we're working on accomplishing the tasks on our "to do" lists.  I'm hoping between today and tomorrow I'll be able to get this quilt FINISHED!!  WOOHOO!!  It's been a lot bigger of a project than I ever imagined, but it's pretty awesome to look at the finished product and know that I've done it!  I think I am adding a long-arm sewing machine to my wish list though just for use with quilts... because trying to get this thing quilted on my small machine was a nightmare!!!  Well, better hop to it!

Oh My!

I am ashamed to see that I haven't been keeping up with this!!  I knew that I hadn't been but wow... not posting in like six months is bad!  Well, I have had this week off work since all the teachers don't take off this close to the holiday break.  It's been good.  Monday I literally did nothing and it kind of felt good.  Yesterday though, is a way different story!  I was cleaning by 8 a.m. and didn't stop until about 2:30!   I also did so much laundry during that time.  Now today I haven't had much to do since I did so much yesterday.  I'd like to quilt my quilt, but I am waiting on the Dish dude to give us our new dvr receiver.  Merry Christmas to us!!

Jerod and I decided that it's time to get rid of this "extra baggage" in our midsections!  We're usually pretty good about being active but the last few months have really not been good for us.  Jerod had a good excuse: shin splints.  I don't: laziness.  We decided that our New Year's resolution is going to be to lose some weight for our upcoming venture: Turks and Caicos!!  Nobody wants to look like a fatty on the beach!  We're going to start running on January Uno and it's going to be ROUGH starting.  The last time that I ran and stuck with it I lost 20 pounds and looked soooo good that that is going to be my motivation.  We are also signing up for another Warrior Dash, so that will keep me motivated too.  I'd love to do a half marathon someday... but let's not get ahead of ourselves!!

Well, I guess that's all for now.  I need to keep this thing updated!!
