Ok I weighed again last night and had lost 2 more pounds! My grand weight loss total for January is 14 pounds!!! I had 3 people tell me today that they can tell I've lost weight since Christmas! I can't wait til Easter to buy a new dress (hopefully in a size 12).

It's Been 10 days.......
and I've got lots of updates to the new starts that I needed to make. But I have a couple of pages I want to upload first. This first one is my baby brother, Robert and his wife, Erin. I stole this pic from Erin's myspace, but I love it so much that I couldn't resist scrapping it. They love each other so much! I used Jan Hosford's All My Heart freebie kit and Bianca Designs circle template. The second layout is of Sadie at aunt Margaret's house. I used Angela Niehaus' Grace kit (which I LOVE!!!)
Now onto those updates!!
1. WEIGHT LOSS!!! Well I weigh again tomorrow night, but as of LAST Tuesday (Jan 22), I've lost 12 pounds!!! I'm so excited! My clothes are alot looser and I've got a few pair of pants that is a size smaller that I can finally wear again. Still drinking water and an occasional glass of skim milk, just to get my dairy in. NO SOFT DRINKS yet! and that is a huge accomplishment on its own for me. I was addicted to Diet Mountain Dews. Whew! I just realized that Saturday made a month without drinks! That was my first mini goal! I'm proud of myself. I avoided a birthday party at church last night, just because it was too much temptation that I'm not ready to handle yet. Maybe in a few months, I'll be able to handle something like that, but not quite!
2. HOUSE REMODELING!! Well, Britt's room is painted and Brooke's room is primed, I plan to paint it hopefully tonight or tomorrow night. I'm moving furniture out of the living room on Thursday night so I can get it painted on Friday (i took off Friday just for the occasion,LOL). I've picked out carpet and as soon as I get my taxes back, I'm going to get it put down also. The paint and carpet will be done by the end of February. The cabinets will probably have to wait until around April cause daddy refuses to mess with it until it gets warmer outside.
3. REUNION!!! Not really much to report other than I've talked with Dottie and Veronica, we've got a date, a place and a theme. I've made a myspace page especially for our class and am in the process of hunting down folks now. I've found a few, but still have a ways to go.
Until next time.......

I'm in the mood for LOVE!
Hehehe, couldn't help myself with the title. I've decided that since I don't have a MAN this Valentine's to make all the mushy love scrapbook pages of, that I would focus on all the other people in my life that I love and that love me and my kids. This first layout is obviously sister love! Kit is Have a Heart mega kit at http://www.digitalcandy.ca/. The second layout is Brooke and Ms. Jean (my second mama), kit is Love You by Penny Springmann at http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/.

New Year, New Start
I'm starting all over with several things!
First losing weight and since January 1st, I've lost 10 pounds, pretty darn good start if I may say so myself. When I hit the 20 pound loss I'm gonna do a layout with comparison pictures. I'm planning to do a small scrapbook journalling my adventures. I've made a commitment to only drink water from here on out (and have stuck to it since December 26). I know my trigger foods are candy, chips and DIET drinks of all things. Something about splenda makes me crave sweets. I'm following the Weight Watchers Core program, which is wonderful! I'm also exercising with Leslie Sansone's Walking videos.
Secondly, I'm getting ready to do a major overhaul of my trailer. I can't stand it any longer, it's dark and outdated looking and needs a lot of repairs. I'm painting walls, putting down new carpet/vinyl, tearing out the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and putting in new, and closing in my screened in porch to make a laundry/storage room. LOTS of cash and LOTS of work ahead of me. (but I'm still excited!!!)
Third, not really a new start or change, but a BIG undertaking nonetheless, 15 YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. Dottie, Veronica, Kevin and I are in for a real treat, I'm hunting down people now. It's going to be the end of August and a Luau. I'm hoping that #'s 1 and 2 help me to get smoking hot by then, LMAO.
Because Lastly, I'm TIRED of dating. I don't want to get married tomorrow, but a boyfriend would be really, really nice. I get so lonely sometimes and after all the crap that I've had to deal with men in the past, I deserve a nice, STABLE guy to settle with.
Anyway, that's it in a nutshell. I'm going to be one busy, busy lady this year.

Time for some Serious Catching Up
I've have been soooo swamped with the holidays and work that I just haven't had time to upload the many layouts that I've done in the past month. I'm not even gonna link to credits, they're all posted in my gallery at DST which is linked in the sidebar, so if you're interested in anything check that out.
This is one of my all time favs called Love My Babies. These pictures were taken back in November when we went to the little zoo in Fayetteville:
And here is a layout from the zoo!!
Here's another layout from Brooke's birthday party, this for the boys!
Sadie moment!
Thanksgiving
