Hey baby it's cold outside. I mean down to the bone chilling cold. This morning during my pedi I skipped having my toes painted because I didn't want to walk outside with my flip flops.
But on the serious side while having a quiet "alone" moment I thought of how lucky I truly am. And how the only inconvenience the cold caused me was not having brightly colored toes but there are people forced to take shelter or figure out how they will keep their families warm overnight.
My heart thinks about that Mom whose only source of heat is an oven or space heater. My heart thinks about the homeless person that would rather build a makeshift tent than risk being harmed in a violent shelter. My heart thinks about those children whose parents could not afford to purchase coats, hats and gloves. These thoughts surrounded me all day and all I could do is to thank God for His grace and love.
As you reflect today just give thanks and reflect on truly how lucky you are.
Peace!

Catching Up
Wow, I'm just noticing how dead my blog is. I can spend hours and hours reading blogs but I'm having a time trying to post to my own site. I pinkie swear that this week I will regularly post.
OK, so these are the goings on.
Doctor's appointment tomorrow. I have been experiencing some pain in my stomach. Not the crampy, it's that time of the month pain but more of the pain from carrying around a 35 pound 3 year old. I suspect it's a pulled muscle.
I signed LuvBug up for dance lessons. She starts creative movement for 3 and 4 year olds the first Saturday in February. I don't know who is more excited me or her.
I've been working out with a trainer. A brand new Ne. w Yor.k Sp.o.rts Cl.ub just opened up in town and along with a membership I purchased three sessions with a personal trainer. My trainer's name is Eric and I think that our chemistry is good. I think I'll keep him.
Work drama is work drama.
I was properly sized for a bra. What a difference this makes. Can you say my cup was running over. Thanks, Br.a Smy.th.
I'm hyped on him. So much so that I've donated to his campaign. I love receiving the daily updates from he and Michelle. Yes, they are friends in my head.
As a self proclaimed Reality Shownista I THINK I'm looking forward to the next season of Making the Band. All Diddy's groups sans the first group (with Babs, Ness and company) will live together in Miami. Should be interesting. I think.
My mom and I are attempting to plan this summer's family vacation but we are running into major roadblocks. See we're attempting to exchange our Aruba time for another destination but right now our options are limited. Lots of places in Florida and California but hubby and I want to travel to the Carribbean or Mexico. We'll see.
Dang, I had this bottled up. I need to share more often.
Till tomorrow, I'm out!

Sleeping with the Enemy
If my hubby knows I'm trying to lose weight then why is he bringing sweets and salty snacks into our home? He says I should have a stronger will. I told him to kiss my a.z.z. which is getting larger everyday.
He makes me sick!
He makes me sick!

Better Late Than Never
The topic of New Year's resolutions has been dancing around in my head for the past few days. In my almost daily blog reading I see that many of my fellow bloggers have listed out their resolutions for 2008.
So I've been asking myself what life style changes should I incorporate in 2008. What is my plan? How can I improve the quality of my life? I've decide to use this blog to memorialize my intentions for 2008. Here they go in no particular order:
1. Lose 40 pounds. Plain and simple my eating and diet are off the hook. I have a plan which I will blog about a little later. I know what to do and how to do it. I just need to get off my lazy a*z and stop making excuses.
2. Save money. Again this isn't rocket science. I need to stay out the stores because we need more space. LuvBug needs some growing room!
3. Be kind to myself. I know because of items 1 & 2 I tend to be hard on myself. I'm going to talk to my spiritual center and really determine what makes me tick.
4. Grow my new position. As I stated in a previous entry I'm moving into a new position at my current job and I'm going make the most of this opportunity that was afforded to me.
5. Exercise more patience. Sometimes when things aren't going my way I tend to be short with those close to me. That's mainly the LuvBug. I will work on relaxing and releasing.
Cliche as the above may seem I know these changes will do a lot for helping me be the best me I can be.
