Ramblings in my head

I hate it when I blog consistently for a few days and then get in a blog funk! So let’s catch up with what’s been going on in my life, shall we? :)

A few months before the gym opened up, I came across this blog: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/

The girl lost a lot of weight and inspired me to start living a healthier lifestyle. I started eating healthier and counting calories like a mad woman. And as soon as the gym opened up, I gradually started trying to work out. I was nervous at first about how my lupus would affect (or effect?) my ability to do certain things. But luckily, I think my doctors and I have kind of figured out my medication so I don’t hurt as much anymore! So I started getting more aggressive with my workouts and have since lost 11 pounds! Yippee! I still want to lose around 5 more pounds and then I will just work on gaining muscle tone. But I’m really excited about my new healthier lifestyle!

My sweet nephew had his 8th birthday on the 21st and his birthday party was at the movie theater!

He really does love me. I promise. He just didn’t want to take a picture!  

And just for the record, my boobs look gargantuous in that picture. Maybe another baby will shrink them so more! :)

Noah had a SUPER fun time at the party. Suckers, cookie cake, and his favorite people all in one place!

In other news, I am seriously considering drawing myself some eyebrows. They are so blonde that you can’t even see them. I totally tried to draw some on this picture in Paint and my sister laughed so hard at me that I didn’t finish my masterpiece. Sigh.

And one more thing, I am about 99% sure my child will have something to do with music when he gets older. Last night at my praise team rehearsal, he ‘helped’ my friend Mike play his guitar. And this morning it was all he could talk about. He even found a book with a picture of a guitar in it this morning and pointed at it and said, “Mommy! It’s Mike!” So then I had to explain that it was called a guitar and not a Mike…but I digress. And just about EVERY time we go to church, Noah runs into the sanctuary and asks to ‘sing on da meecraphone’.

The picture quality is bad because my husband took the picture but there is Noah standing beside me holding his ‘meecraphone’ and singing! Future praise teamer right there people.

Ok. I think that about catches us up. My best friend is coming to town this weekend to visit AND we are having new flooring installed next week so hopefully I will get some pictures and have some blogging to do next week!
