Where to start???

Christmas in my house is done!!

The tree is up, and decorated thanks to Johnathan and Christopher!! I didn't hang a single ornament. It doesn't look "perfect" and there are lots of places that are missing ornaments but I think the boys did an awesome job!!

Thanks to Caryn, ALL my presents are wrapped and nicely tucked away until Santa comes!! It was nice to be kid free and be able to wrap until I was done!!

I finally got my Christmas cards addressed and mailed!! Although I didn't mail out near as many as I have in years past, it was just enough to cover the family!!

I decided that I really love some of my friends!! How strange is that??? I have met 2 really important ladies in my life, and we all have 5 year olds. One lives in Tennesee, and One lives in California. Just amazes me how close I can get to someone just through phone and internet chatting. Although I've met Julie, we haven't seen each other in years, and she has yet to meet Alexander, and today when I talked to Lisa she just had witnessed a terrible accident and was really shaken up...it scared me that I would really miss her friendship if something should happen to her. She has really become a part of my life and family!

The dizziness is OFFICIALLY gone!! I've been feeling great since Friday!! I'm sooooo excited!! Had a normal workout! Even did the 45 degree leg press. Didn't push 540 pounds, didn't even come close, but was able to do a lot of my normal things. I told Jim we would take the good days as the come and just go with them for now. Hopefully they will continue to come and the dizziness will stay away!! We are starting slowly with the weights again, and I'm not even giving him a hard time about how light some of the stuff is!!

Had a doctors appointment on Friday, and through this whole mess I've lost 5 pounds!! I'll take it anyway I can get it. There is a group of people at church that will be starting a "Biggest Losers" club after the first of the year. It cost $25 to join, and while I don't watch the show, and don't know a lot about it, I'm thinking of joining. If you fall below the "yellow line" it will cost you $5, and so that will help to keep you motivated. There was a couple from Greenville that participated this past season, and they go to church with our CDC Director. They are going to come in and meet with us and tell us about how they got started and how it changed their lives. I know that Amy went from a size 22 to a size 2. I'm not sure about her husband Phil. They also work out at Sportsclub (the gym I belong to). It is suppose to go for a 3 month time frame, so hopefully I can report at the end of 3 months that I've lost quite a bit of weight! That's my goal!!

The rain is here, and school is out! Oh what to do with the boys??? I'm sure of how to fill the rain filled afternoons, but I'm sure we will come up with something fun!

Hard to believe 2008 is almost over, I'm just hoping for an accident free 2009!!
