Tattoo??

So I really want a tattoo when I lose weight. I know that I want a rose tattoo. My middle name is rose, my screen name for everything involves Rose. It can only be a rose. So, I’ve been trying to look up pics for this tattoo I want. These are a few of the ones I’ve come across that I like:

Okay, so this one is not really a rose, but I like this and would maybe put a rose in the middle of it.

Meal planning…

So, I sat down like a good little Weight-Watcher this weekend and planned out all my meals for the week.  I think I did very good.  Here is my menu for today:

Breakfast - Red hot sausage & piece of bread, 1/2 of banana
AM Snack - pineapple & cottage cheese
Lunch - Tortilla soup, carrots
PM Snack - apple
Supper - Ceasar salad, Cheesy crockpot chicken & egg noodles

Not too bad if I do say so myself.  Tomorrow night is vegetable primavera, Wed is Hamburger helper, Thurs is BBQ chicken, Friday is meatloaf, and Sat is Pork BBQ.  Lunch is the tortilla soup and some veggies everyday this week or leftovers if I want.  I have to have protein for breakfast or I’ll be starving an hour later - so red hots every day as well.  The only thing I might change is to get hubby more involved in planning the dinners next week.  I forget that sometimes he has ideas of his own!  lol!!

Long day….

We left the house at 8 this morning.  We got breakfast, then headed to my mom and dad’s house an hour and 15 mins away.  WE got there about 10:30, hung out til about 1 and then headed to the outlets.  I got a few things at a flower/garden/home store.  Then I racked up on clothes for DS at Osh Kosh outlet - I spent $80 but saved over $110!!  Next were the shoe stores b/c hubby has to check them all out.  But DS and I were the ones who ended up getting shoes!  Next was Dairy Queen, and then a book store.  I got 3 of the cake mix doctor’s books (www.cakemixdoctor.com) that I’m so excited to try out!!  Then, we head back to mom and dad’s house (4 pm at this point) b/c dad was going to take us to see a friend’s new house.  We get there and no one’s home.  The guy told us we could go on in, but it was locked and there wasn’t any extra keys.  So, we leave from there and head home.  But, we stop at a super-target along the way and then stop to eat.  It’s now 9 pm and we’ve only been home for about 30 mins.  Man, I am beat!!  I’ve already driven across 4 states this week, now all this today.  I am sooooo tired.  And I have a ton of stuff I want to do! 

My plan for the rest of tonight is to plan out my meals for the week (weight watchers-style!!) while watching “Reign Over Me.”  Tomorrow, I plan to go to work for a bit.  I also want to go to Sam’s Club with a friend of mine and also I want to try to make it to a holiday open house that my Pampered Chef Director is hosting.  We also got pumpkins today to paint and carve and I’d like to get that done tomorrow.  Sometime tomorrow MIL is supposed to come see DS since she hasn’t seen him in a while.  Not sure how all this will fit in to tomorrow. 

So much for a relaxing weekend!!

Vacation vent

Alright, I get 10 vacation days each year right now.  With my little son, I save some of those vacation days for when daycare is closed but my office isn’t - typically during the holidays.  This year, his daycare is closed Thanksgiving Day and the day after, and Dec 24, 25, and 26.  My office is closed Thanksgiving day and Christmas day, but none of the days before or after.  I saved 3 days to use during this time.  My boss made an announcement that, to be fair, if we all should only take either the day after Thanksgiving or the day before Christmas, but not both.  Now, we have no big huge plans for the holidays or anything; I just have daycare issues.  I understand that it might not be fair for some people to get both of those 4 (or 5) day weekends.  But, I saved my days for this.  It’s not like I’m being a vacation hog.  I didn’t take a week long vacation during the summer like everyone else.  I took a day here and a day there.  I saved my days so that I could work around my daycare.  I don’t really think it’s fair to me. But, I’m doing it.  I’m taking off the day before Thanksgiving to prepare for the festivities and hopefully hubby can stay home the day after.  Either that or I’m bringing the child to work!!

Let’s see what this all about.

So, I have a blog on my myspace page, and I blog some on my freewebs weight loss site.  But I thought, what they heck, I’ll give another one a shot!!  I occassionally have ideas and thoughts that go wondering through my mind. So I might can keep this up!  We’ll see!!  Cool
