happy happy!!

hmmm hmmmm hmmm...doo do doooo...that's me, oh so happy that I made it through two full days with NO sugar...period...it was harder than yesterday, I gotta say, but still...not so bad. I had the same egg and brocolli omelet for breakfast...just-a-'cause I liked it! K, then for a mid-morning snack, I chewed on some Pecans...and lunch was a Deeeee-lissshhhhuuusss tomato stuffed with tuna. No afternoon snack today...too busy designing Christmas cards with a client...YAY!!! Fun stuff for sure...plus I get paid...DOUBLE fun!!! And then for dinner, the kids wanted Goulash so I made it with some breakfast sausage crumbled up in it, and made a salad for me n the hubbs with just a bit of cheese, some chicken bits and just a bit of the sausage from the goulash...with some sort of Litehouse Basalmic Vinaigrette dressing and a side of celery and carrot sticks! BAM!!! Done! I hard-boiled some eggs but they weren't ready by dinner time and by the time I was done with dinner, I was just done...satisfied, so I'm thinking I 'll have a couple for breakfast...or one right now...I mean, I DO have to test them to make sure they aren't poisoned, right? House rule!
Yep, so I have a buncha photo shoots comin' up and 2 orders of cards to make...yee-haw!! Gotta go get me some beauty rest and get ready for the craaazzaaayyy day ahead!!
Oh, got some pics to come...promise...I'll even try to post stuff not seen on Facebook...just to keep you comin' back!!
Nite, my friends!

ooohhhh...a baaaaaby!


Yay!! Deagan Lantz is here...my friends Kris and Dustin just had their third child today...well, of course Dustin didn't really HAVE him but you know...oh...isn't he sooooo cute?!?! I love him! Born at 2:09 6 lbs. 14 oz.
Too precious!!! I can't wait to go meet him!
Congrats you guys!!

No promises or anything...

K, so here I go...I'ma Blog now, just because Facebook simply doesn't do any kind of justice to those of us who have LOTS to say...I have a hard time summing up my daily life in 300 characters or less. Yah...
K, so the newest thing is this South Beach Diet I just started...I can totally do this thing...all of the allowed foods are stuff I like anyway...I even CRAVE salads and salmon and asparagus, so I'm good. I am not even missing my favorite addiction just yet...Dr. Pepper!! If any of you know me...I mean REALLY know me, you will also know that I am in love with my Dr. Pepper, so to give up my little fizzy friend, that's HUGE...BUT, then again so is my butt...due in part to my fizzy lust...so, adios to you, and hola to smaller pants and a better reflection in the hospital windows that I see my reflection in every Sunday (I volunteer in the ED...just in case you're new)...bah!
So, today I made a two egg + brocolli omelet (oh, wait...here comes a tangent...I froze my own brocolli!! so excited! I usually just stick it in the fridge and then weeks later when I smell something soooooper funky, I find it rotting in a drawer...but NOT this time...this time I rinsed it and chopped it and laid it out onto a really cool platter my mom gave me, which is also the only platter that fits into my freezer so the door can close...anyway, and it all froze and I bagged it and it was so simple...yet simply amazing to me...and I can eat all the brocolli I want to I tossed some into my omelet) K, so...mmmm...oh and plus I added just a pinch of cheese. LOVE IT!! And I can have my herbal tea, so I did...mmm hmmm...and I had a large cup of water 'cause I took my pre-natal vitamins (and ha.ha.ha. NO I am NOT pregnant nor will I EVER be, thank you very much...I just need to really supplement...or die from heart disease) :O/ oh, and I also slathered myself with some essential oils and I smell delicious...and I did my Liver Cleanse...which is mmmm yummay...a shot glass of lemon juice with one drop each of Lemon Oil and Peppermint Oil (go see http://forevergreen.org to be AMAZED!!!)
Ope...my beans are ready...BRB...k, so I am making a white chili with white beans and chicken for dinner tonight...with a salad! I am soo glad I don't have to count points or calories or even mind my portions, really...I fully plan to eat until I am satisfied...
Anyway, I went to go take some pics for this blog but my batteries are dead...kaput, so I will add to this entry later with like a recipe for my soup and pictures of stuff...
So, off I go to throw away the left-over Halloween candy that the kids scored...NONE of us need it anyways and the fun has been had in collecting it, right...so no guilt here! And then I get to clean out my entire pantry...not for the diet, but because it's an awful mess and I have a glass pantry door...and I embarass myself just walking into my kitchen...oh, and plus I've got a MASSIVE amount of laundry to do...gack...I HATE laundry...maybe if I had those new-fangled-type washer and dryers in some lusty hot colors I might get more excited, but...nope...absolutely NO excitement here...laundry sucks!
So, there you go...you've made throught my first Blog entry...I'ma try to be good and keep it up and post cool stuff to keep you from falling asleep...but no promises or anything...I'm a busy, busy girl!! Peace out!!
