Bragging rights!

*Caution: I am about to brag about myself!*

So I have been doing 30 day shred for about 2 months now, and have been making healthier food choices. Last night I was getting ready for church and decided to try a pair of red pants I bought back when I was a Faulkner..................THEY FIT! They were alittle snug but still I got them on and was comfy enough to wear them! I have been SO excited! When I stepped on the scale this morning I have lost 43 lbs since Addie was born! I still have about 20 to go to meet my goal but the pants fitting has DEFINITELY boosted my determination! YAY for me!

Sorry, I know I am REALLy bragging BUT I think I get too every now and then!
Happy day to all!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???


I was just browsing craigslist, like I do everyday, and I came across a picture that I has really upset me!

It was of a man pushing his baby in a stroller with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth!
COME ON!
Dude do you not know what that does to a baby??? And if he HAS to have one while walking his baby down the street he probably does it in the house too! Can we say lung cancer? ear infections-which lead to ear problems, growing problems and the 1,000,000 other things this causes????
Granted I MAY be jumping to conclusions, he may not have it lit and he may NEVEr smoke around her............but i doubt it!
It aggravates me to no end when I see a pregnant woman smoking. Does no one ever tell them that its like holding a pillow over your baby's face for the 4-5 mins it takes you to smoke it? Is it REALLY worth that? These people are so selfish! Too selfish to have kids if you ask me!

Oh the ongoing project....

























































































































It seems like FOREVEr ago that we started this kitchen remodel, and we STILL aren't done! Back on 6-18 I wrote a post saying we would have a new kitchen in 2 weeks..........hahaha........wow was I wrong! It's now 10-6-09 and we are not finished! I will have to give Graham alittle break, he is in the middle of his MBA and for the past 8 weeks he had 2 classes and it about killed us all! He would work all day, come home, eat dinner play with Addie for about 20 mins and work on school till midnight or so and then the entire weekend. It was HORRIBLE, and he will start that again in about a month, argh!!! Anyways, we FINALLY got the wall out, support beam in, the countertops in, the cabinets painted (OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A NIGHTMARE, another post another day!). Graham has put up all the dry wall but has yet to mud it! I have painted all the walls except for the part that needs to be mudded. HOPEFULLy, one day we will finish this nightmare! Here are some of the pics!


* These pics are SO out of order but I don't feel like moving them all around!*
