3 favorite inventions

It's been challenged to name your 3 favorite inventions right now...
well, besides the obvious running water, electricity, and the wheel I think I'll name my favorite 3 from the last 50 yrs.
1. Wireless internet access... how cool is it to sit in your favorite coffee shop or fav chair in your house/yard and browse the internet or chat w/ friends??? Seriously that's a good thing!
2. Cell phones!!! When I was w/out mine it felt as if my right arm was missing too. I love the secure feeling of being able to contact anyone from just about anywhere!
3. Automatic coffee makers. I love waking up and stumbling downstairs to freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. All I have to do is remember to set it up the night before! I don't know if I could handle having to make it on the stovetop. I know this, I probably wouldn't be as addicted if I did!

So, I haven't really done anything about getting a new job yet. I really need to get moving on that though. For a few reasons, one being that I don't want to take advantage of them saying we'll pay you till you get a job.

Seriously it is hot AND humid in Texas and I DON'T like it. I hate that I feel almost trapped in the house. Saturday night we went to a bbq, it was 95 degrees out but not humid so really it was ok, like you could sweat and get relief. We even played volleyball. 6 games of it I believe. It was really fun. I hadn't played volleyball in YEARS! and the last time I did I was probably 60 pounds lighter. We played in the sand and this was my first time doing that... totally hated it. It's really a different game in the sand. You can hardly move. I thought that on Sunday morning I would be soooo sore, but I was actually fine. No pains at all. So at least I'm not getting that old yet.

I've decided that when C and I get back from our vacation we are getting serious about losing weight. We keep talking about it but neither one of us is doing anything. Well, now we are. I'm getting rid of the junk in the house and we are going to use our ab lounger thing and do the walking videos and WATCH WHAT WE EAT!! We both do so much mindless eating it's crazy. oh and at restaurants we are so sharing. The portions are plenty for 2 people. Besides, we will save money that way too. I'm going to be realistic in my goal. I want to lose 10% of my body weight by Labor day. Totally doable if I stay on track. I'd love to be at my goal by January, but I know that will be hard w/ the holidays and plataeus. We will be going to a wedding in FL in Jan and celebrating our 10th anniversary (a month early) while we are there. I so wish there was a weight watchers meeting near me. I did pretty good on WW. Guess I'll keep you posted on this. Feel free to leave encouraging comments for me! ;)

huh. Really?

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.But you sure can beat a good drum."Kill! Kill!"

I never really thought about it... but I really didn't think this was the answer. Oh well, I guess I wish I were more Kermit the Frog-ish.

On the hunt....

It's time for me to search for a new job. The one I have now is ending, now the question is, what do I want to do with myself. I'm thinking some kind of office job again. I liked the office job I had last time I just didn't like the guy I worked for. As long as I can access SJ once in a while and use instant messenger I don't think that I will go insane. I meant to pick up a newspaper yesterday and I forgot. I guess I'll look online today. That's all I can think of right now... I'm sure more will come up later!

This is a test....

The last time I tried to post a pick onto this sight I had done this WAY LONG post and uploaded the image and then all was lost... so I never tried again. Well, here is my second attempt. This is our new baby girl Josie (Josephine!) when she does something bad or is annoying our other baby.
*Warning: If this works you will be inundated w/ photos of my puppies from now on! ;)

7 'Deadly' sins

Another ScrapJazz blog challenge from Neen.
7 DEADLY SINS
PRIDE – Which of your attributes or talents are you most proud of? Seriously. My athleticism. I love that I love sports and that I'm fairly good at them... (for a girl!)

ENVY – What brings out the green-eyed monster of jealousy in you? Because I never really had a dad in my life... I get jealous of people that have a great relationship w/ their own dad.

SLOTH – What’s your idea of relaxation? Curled up in a chair inside on a cold, rainy day or outside on a nice spring day (NO BUGS!) with a GREAT book. Oh and I love just floating on water, in a boat or on a raft in a pool.

LUST – Who do you lust after? Hmmm really, I don't know. C really lights my fire.

GREED – What was your last budget blow out on? I bought some new rubons and embellishments at my LSS (local scrapbook store) recently.

ANGER – What gets your blood boiling? Rude and selfish people.

GLUTTONY – What’s your favorite food? I'm so in love w/ Steak Burritoes from Chipotle right now it's not even funny. I also love ice cream.

Well, I'm off to go to a new scrapbook store so I'll probably post more when I get back! Have a good one!
