Totally Stolen Idea

OK, so this is my life update for the week of October 22, 2007: (Thanks Marten and Ken)
  • Celebrated one year anniversary with my specialist guy EVER! Not sure how it happened, but I am way lucky -- and honestly, so is he (no ego!). I am totally excited to see where this little adventurous journey will take us next.
  • Got the most beautiful flowers delivered on anniversary-- all the flowers from my wedding bouquet in a beautiful vase. -- I know, sick, huh? He rocks! (oh! And a pink mother of pearl faced Tag. watch surrounded by diamonds [pictures coming soon])
  • Also got a wicked cool periwinkle iPod Shuffle. I have been wanting one for my walks, bike rides and gym excursions. (this leads to the next highlight)
  • Gym is paying off -- 36 pounds gone, and counting. I LOVE MY TRAINER!
  • Finally got a bunch of thank you notes out. I know they are way late, but better late than never, right? More notes to write and more to mail.
  • Met with folks to do some party planning. Candlelighters of Southern Nevada is a great organization that works with children with cancer and their families. They asked if I would volunteer my services to help coordinate their big Christmas/Holiday party. Since I have not planned a party in over a year (see first bullet point) I jumped at the chance to make some little ones smile.
  • Finally uploaded a ton of music onto my iTunes. I think if anyone saw my play list they would think I had personality disorders (yes, plural). Tonight, I was listening to the tunes while cooking a yummy dinner of sloppy joes and sweet potato fries, and song one was the Barenaked Ladies live from a concert I went to, followed up by a song from my workout cd called Come Baby Come... Now the funny thing was that the BNL song included some conversation at the end that introduced their next song; " That was from our last album, but this is from our current release..." "Come Babe Come Baby, Baby come come... " TOO FUNNY!
  • Celebrated all sorts of birthdays and milestones with Teri last week, but it feels like it should be included in this week's update for some reason. Cannot believe Jacob is 1, and even more, cannot believe Josh is 18. How did Teri get old enough to have an 18 yr old?!?! (Ha Ha)

OK, off to a bike ride with my honey and then settling in for a fudge bar and Private Practice!

T-- I am actually old enough to have a GRAND nephew. But aunt/uncle status has nothing to do with my age. Marten's aunt is around the same age as him, if I remember correctly. Hehehe that :-)

Shawna is about 3 months older but still very weird to call someone an aunt when you are that close in age.

36 pounds is tremendous. I'm still shocked at you burning that many calories in the kitchen.

Amazing what a year with the right person can do for ya. B)

Congratulations on the weight loss, that is amazing! Send some motivation my way, I need it.

Ken is the sweetest...next to my hubby of course. You will never believe what he did for my birthday!

That party sounds amazing. I would love to help out/go/support if I can!
