2011-06-24T13:11:00.000-06:00

I have a strange day, it seem everyday.
I am doing my coop now. I also left coop for 1-2 for a American lit class.
I usually go all day without eating anything at all. Once in awhile I will grap a kids meals but not often.
I have lost the 3 lbs that I had gained which puts me around 159lbs.
I am trying to do ww but what I am find through internet surfing and it is really tough.

Today is friday and of course I am at home( where I want to eat).
I had 1 c. coffee with dab of cream
plain salad mix with 2 strawberries and 2 tsp. of dressing( ranch)
1 cup of a recipe I found for ww. aldi's peaches with light syrup, mixed fruit light syrup (both are the fit active brands) mixed those and I had about 1 c. of that with tsp. of coolwhip.

I know I have eat a good bit. I am trying to match this up with the points for the day and I am having no luck.
Supper tonight will be light I am hoping.
My goal is to drop 15-20 lbs. We will see.

trying to get into a flow of things again

2011-05-27T17:12:00.000-06:00

Graduation was May 7 th

2011-05-08T16:13:00.000-06:00

Everyone got through it. We did not fall, trip , or make anyone look bad.
I just have co-op and American lit this summer to get my degree (paper). We have one walk ceremony and that is in may. I have already signed up for classes this fall that transfer and this is my week off before summer classes start. This week I am going to surf for colleges that I want to go to and I am looking for online classes.
I have a few things in mind for this week but I am sure it is going to go by pretty fast.
For pics. you can check out CVCC , hickory, nc on Facebook and you will see some happy people.

New TV

2011-04-23T06:57:00.000-06:00

OK, My hb came home from work ate supper , then turned around and ask me if I wanted to go to a store. I said " sure".
We went to Kmart. I had known for awhile that he has been wanting a flat screen TV. so last night we put one on lay-a-way for 12 weeks. I think we will have it out sooner.

The pros to layaway - No interest fees, No bill coming in the mail( credit statement), nothing on the credit to worry about (good or bad)- you are saving money. Yes, we pd. $10 to lay it away but it is cheaper than swiping the card.

I am some homework details to tighty up , maybe I will get some done this weekend, if not by Tues. and hopefully get those turned in and that is it. I will just have Exams left and I am done until May 16Th, we I will take my last summer classes and co-op. I can walk May7th, I will get my paper in Aug. 10 weeks later.
Then the fun begins, a job , a paying job with benefits hopefully.

Off track so badly, & do much is going on

2011-04-17T05:58:00.000-06:00

I so far over the track I am beginning to think there is no track at times.

I don't know who knows this but I am going to tell ya. I will walk across the stage May 7 @ 9am for my A.A.S. Office Administration Degree. I have worked really hard on this. I also am working on trying to make high honors again this around too. This week I am going to work hard on getting all the final assignments, test, and projects done!
I think I am exempt from one final , our quick books instructor posted that if you have a 95 or higher after this last assignment then you are exempt. I am waiting on my grades from her. Before I sent this last 3 , I had a 99.12 % in her class.
We have been doing a lot more eating out at times, now with our church doing a drama last weekend(3X) and this weekend (3X) plus practices , the kids homework too.
It has been so crazy around here.
I will get 2 days off this week.
Goals #1- get all assignments done and turned in.
Goals #2- clean the file cabinet up, so I can find something-

OK, something else:
On May 7Th after I walk, we are headed back here for a COOKOUT!
I have not bought anything yet for this and I need to get on the ball!
We are having burgers and hotdogs. I have some friends who are bring drinks, desserts, potatoes salad, coleslaw, chili.
Janet / Sarah said they are having me a graduation cake made- aww, how sweet of them.
We are going to borrow some table & chairs from church . Pray that it doesn't rain.

I have a lot to do in a short amt. of time.

Oh yeah, Please keep in ray with me that the Lords, opens doors for me to get a nice job, thanks.

We have recieved 2 more hospital bills. I am starting to wondered, if we are going to get out of this debt. I am still believing God for mighty things.

One of my directors on campus was talking with a friend about this site and I ask her if she had a book from here.

I pulled up the site and order a catalog for myself and thought I would post and share it with you. I know may of you have your ways of saving money.

I have been so busy since last fall that I am really over the band wagon, but I am planning on trying it again after I get through this spring. It depends on my summer co-op hrs. and my last class(es) that I have to take.

gardening time is here again

2011-03-08T16:31:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about this and trying to figure out when to start. I think maybe this weekend if it doesn't rain ,I will get hb to till up the garden space. We have chickens(3) so we will have to clean the pin to put the special stuff in the dirt to mix it up. ( we usually means the guys).
I need to see what seeds I have and what I need to purchase. I will more than likely buy some starter plants to cut down some waiting time also.
This yr. I want to get some more trees too. I want a pair of apple trees( they have to be in pairs or they will die).
Well, that is a start of things to do, now to just work in it with homework too.

I have got a few tings done over the past few days- an improvement

2011-03-08T16:03:00.000-07:00

Friday- I was waiting on some tutoring for excel. While I was waiting I cleaned the microwave, got all of the dishes washed(by hand), swept the floor, done the laundry(3 loads). I admit the washing clothes I had started the night before , but at least they were washed, dried, and put up.
It has been awhile since I had this much done at one time.
sat. my hb and I ran about all day doing errands, when we stopped it was going 7 pm. Well that is not bad but we started at 5am that mg.
Sunday, was a all day of going here and there too.
Monday, back to do homework and co-op, then today is Tues. more homework and studying.
I am fixing chicken &noodles for supper. Yes, I am cooking, it has been awhile for that too.

ten things farm: Gearing up to Garden

This year so far

2011-02-18T04:17:00.000-07:00

This year so far for us has been something else. In the past 8 weeks, I have had surgery and doing ok now, the past 3 1/2-4 wks. I had something not the flu but what ever it was I have never caugh so much all through the day and night. Valentines's day I broke my back jaw tooth and I was ot doing anything much at the time when it happened.
I am ready for things to turn around and start improving. I am about half way through my classes. I know my family is ready for things to start getting better and really soon. We are enjoying the warm weather and the break on our powerbill too. I just hope this is not the start to a overly hot summer.
