Flowers, Exercise, Hair, and Dinner

This post is a random mish-mosh of things that I have been up to. First off, I GOT FLOWERS!!! It has been years since I have gotten any, so when the flower delivery truck pulled up in front of my house I got all jittery inside thinking who the heck sent them. At first I thought of G.J., and I was a little mad, because he knows we don’t have money for that sort of thing. Then I was embarrassed because I thought it was someone who had read my post about my terrible dream and was taking pity on me…lol. To my surprise, they were from my sweet 12 year old cousin Jade. I had went through my closet and gotten rid of a ton of stuff, and I thought she might like it. She did- so much so that she sent me flowers. What makes it even sweeter is that she remembered that my favorite color is purple. Thanks Jade!!! You made my day.My next item of business is that I have begun working out again-shocker..I know! We have a pass to the rec. center, so I figure I better put it to use. Every year I get invited to do this alumni Drill team thing for homecoming week at our high school. Every year I do it, I promise myself that I will lose weight before I do….well; THIS is the year…lol. I just have to. I am the oldest and fattest person there with the most kidS(I know, doesn't seem very alumni-ish if I am 25 and the oldest one...lol) So I need to get to work. I am super sore from my attempted work out. I am going to go every Tuesday and Thursday. If I go more than that I will get burned out. The kids love the little daycare, and I actually enjoyed myself, so we will see how much weight falls off and how good of shape I get in. Wish me luck.

Item of business number 3. My poor hair. Let me show you a picture of how it looked when I got married.

Now here is a picture of it short.

It is currently as long as the first picture again, and I just don’t know what to do with it. I don’t have the time or money or energy to color it, or keep up a short do. Plus, I have a fat face so short just doesn’t work. Of course, I weigh 30 lbs less than when that short hair picture was taken, so I just don’t know. I haven’t had it cut since Christmas. I am going today, and I think I will just be boring and get a trim-unless anyone has any better ideas.

My last topic is my Dinner club. I had heard of them before, and secretly wished I would be invited to be in one someday. Well imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago my friend Casey invited me! I am sure most of you know how it works. I only cook one night a week. I have to cook 4 dinners though, and deliver to the other girls in the group. Then the other nights of the week, they take turns and deliver it to me. It was so cute last night I overheard Gavin telling Hallie that he was hungry. She said, “Don’t worry bud, when the doorbell rings our dinner will be here.” It has been great. I was worried at first, because I didn’t know if the other families would like my cooking, or vice versa, but so far it has been great. Here is our menu for August.

So random random random was that post, but at least they were all positive things going on in my life right? Have a great day!
