I will NOT fizzle!

2008-03-12 / 2:12 p.m.

I really Really don't want to be one of those girls who is all talk about losing weight and then a couple of weeks into, she fizzles out. I am so in the mood to fizzle, but I WILL NOT DO IT! I will keep on keeping on because, because.....why am I doing this again? Doesn't matter - I'M KEEPING ON! I need a little pep talk. Tonight will be a brisk walk when Dan gets home - no kids! I'm slipping on the being active part.

I am, however, doing better in the creative department. Last night was my monthly night to scrap with Jenn. I didn't get a lot done while she was here because I offered to scan and print some old photos for her, but I did do a couple pages before she came and a couple today. Plus, she was really excited about the pictures I did for her, so that made it worth it.

I also feel good today because I was able to help Beth. She has one of her events this weekend and she has to wear a formal dress. She found one, but discovered it had a slight tear in it. I met her for lunch today to pick up the dress. I brought it home, put the girls down for naps and spent like 10 minutes fixing it. I also polished/cleaned some old jewelry I had that will go perfect with the dress, if she chooses to borrow it. I like that I am able to do things to help my friends. It's a good feeling.

I got the Easter decorations out of the attic today. The girls are beside themselves with playing with their baskets. They are having so much fun filling them up and pretending to go shopping, on a picnic, etc. Except I made the mistake of giving them to them with the plastic grass still in them. So now, there is Easter grass ALL over the house! Oh well, they are having fun.

So Dan and I have been going back and forth about having a third baby. I am in the "I Really want another baby" camp, while he is in the "we have our hands full with what we have" camp. I keep trying to persuade him. Who knows? I'll be happy either way. It's not like I feel like our lives would be incomplete without another child. I can be content either way.

So, that's me today - nothing terribly exciting. Hope you all are having a great day!
