Kayla (upon being woken up at the crack of dawn): This is a time when you want to call your parents and say, "I'm SORRY!!!"
Dylan: Oh, I've always wanted this!!! (a toothpaste dispenser for the bathroom)
I'm doing a scrapbook of my weight loss, and in this layout I show my "before" picture of November 2008, when I weighed 239 pounds. The "after" picture is May 1, weighing 207 pounds, a loss of 32 pounds. I'm hoping to get down to 199 by the end of May. My first goal is to lose 60 pounds, which would be 179. After that - well, I'd actually like to lose another 50, but first I'm just going after the 60. The thing that I'm proudest of is that I was going through a breakup and usually that's when I give up and go to the fridge and the wine bottle for comfort. But not this time! I'm determined to show that I'm stronger than that - I will NOT let a man sabotage my health again!
And here's yet another scrapbook layout featuring my great-niece Bailey. Can I help it if she's so photogenic?
Dr. Seuss' birthday was March 2009, and Thriftway held a party for kids in his honor. They listened to stories and watched a puppet show and also a juggler performed. They loved it! I thought it was so neat that these kids who watch cartoons and play video games still liked this old-fashioned form of entertainment.
