Well had a great bd dinner with scott and family Friday nite... we went to a new Sushi place owned by some friends of ours-- it was EXCELLENT... BEST SUSHI i have ever had!!! Then we went back to Scott and Teresa's place so he could open his gifts.Caleb lit his first fire in the fireplace so he was stoked and all he wanted to do from that point on was play in the fire! He is so darling and such a good kid-- i am proud to call him my grandson! Scott got all kinds of neat fireplace tools, woodrack, and fireplace screen. Teresa got him a beautiful set and it really looks great!
They got a game table for xmas - pingpong, pool, airhockey, and foozeball. Airhockey doesnt work too well as the puck doesnt go in the goal right so we played Foozeball and had a blast. i have played in years and was a total clutz but we all laughed till our sides hurt and had a super time.

i so enjoy spending time with them- they are a warm and caring couple and do a fantastic job with Caleb. I am proud of them and they are working hard on the new house to make it their own and are doing one helluva job. I couldnt ask for more!

This past weekend has been spent taking down all the xmas dec's -- oh what a job .. i finally got the tree down yesterday and all the ornaments boxed up.

I am overwhelmed right now as the cork flooring will go in on wednesday so i have to have EVERYTHING out of my bedroom and the Living Room so they can start-- right now both are a diaster area with boxes and xmas stuff everywhere but i have been bustin ass today so i think i can be pretty well ready by wednesday.

I have also begun an art journal-- i have always wanted to make one but for one reason or another just havent. When cleaning off a bookshelf the other day an journal fell out - i bought it years ago at B/N for $6.00 so i figured i would use it for my art. It has been an amazing experience and i have really had fun working on it -- i have to steal a few minutes between working to get ready for the cork floors but i have gotten several pages at least started..gessoed, painted, or more. its awesome how the pages come to life and i am excited about the new learning adventure.

My Herbal Life program is doing well and i think i have lost some weight- i didnt weigh myself when i started because to be honest i really didnt know how much i weighed... i have been so upset about this and so embarrassed that i just figured i will know when i loose a few pounds by the way my clothes fit--

The shakes are really good but they only last about three hours and then i feel the ole hunger pangs starting, but i certainly dont have any food cravings and small portions seem to fill me up quickly. I am optimistic about this and am anxious to have the pounds fall off so i can see some major progress!!
