stuff, stuff, and …
2009
hmmm imagine that MORE stuff!
hahaha!
Major happenings in the Cates’ household ladies and gents!
We have lost another one! Another what? Well, one of THESE!
We’ve been trying to convince Bug to let us get that thang out for like 2 weeks now. It was so loose in there she could spin it completely around backwards. But nope, she would not let us have it. So the other night whilst munching on some yummy pizza, OUT it popped!
Yippee! Now I’m just waiting on the perfect kit to come along to scrap this series of pics with. Yep, just WAITING. LOL….
What else…
hmm..
I weighed yesterday.
It said 4 pounds down when I leaned over to look. So I’m guessing between 3-4 pounds this week. Woohoo! That brings my grand total toooo…. 18! woo-hoo!!! I added a badge thingy over >>> to kind of keep track of it and keep me a little on the motivated side.
This past week I was definitely struggling. I’m not on a “program” now and winging it. I think making myself eat throughout the day IS the answer for me. As I am eating regular food, and still losing. For now.
I have decided my hubby is a chubby chaser since he is constantly offering my “not good things” to eat and telling me I’m crazy for dieting. This past week, while out paying bills he said he wanted to eat out. I was like ok! Thinking Burger King or McDonalds because he is a burger guy. Well, he pulled into El Bracero’s instead. Mexican. My kryptonite. The he proceeded to order FOR me. huh? A ChimiChonga. As if Mexican wasn’t bad enough he ordered me deep FRIED Mexican. OY! I ate it because I have NO will power to make him happy.
Then yesterday I was with one of my friends, and I noticed that whenever I talked about my diet she would either change the subject or make the “whatever” face. hmmm… Maybe she doesn’t want to hear it because she has gotten pretty heavy this past two years too? Or maybe she likes having a friend bigger then her? Dunno. We did go out to lunch yesterday, and she wanted *dumm dumm dummmmmm* El Braceros! Are you kidding me?! This ONE restaurant is going to be the cause of my diet failure! lol Yes, of COURSE I went. I can say no to A LOT of stuff, even coffee chocolate but I can NOT say no to the EB. Sorry belly, you’re just going to have to take it. LOL
HMM.
When did I turn into a conspiracy theorist and decide everyone was out to sabotage my diet? hahah!
Speaking of my friend…
I do love her! Look at what a bargain hunter she is!
While out YARD SALEING she bought me these 2 things – For a BUCK each!
I’m thinking I will fill these jars with embossing powders or glitter. They are kind of big though, about half the size of a water bottle. After much googling I found 2 of this exact rack on ebay. One was $29 + shipping and the other was $6.99 + shipping because all the jars but 2 were missing their corks. So I would say a buck was a good deal!
And then there were these! BEADS… omg, I love beads! LOL
She got this for a buck too. This is actually $9.98 at Wal-Mart. I know, because I bought one last year just like it! LOL!
Have you found any good crafty bargains lately?
just a little inky
so I was REALLY bored the other day, even though I had a billion things I SHOULD have been doing. I ended up doing a little hybrid gift box.
I used Andrea’s Hokey Pokey kit, and my memory box templates.
Once printed, I realized my printer was running low on ink! So I inked up the edges with Distress inks, and scratched them up with a sanding block. it hid the ink “lines” from the printer perfectly! I was going to put some real pink feathers on the birds head and tail, thats why I put her on the box this way. When the time came though, I just could NOT get my hands to cut up my pink feather boa! hahah! If you have read my blog for a long time you will know the special meaning my boa has for me. hehehe!!!
ok, 3 hours later… I need to get outta this office! argh! LOL
Hey add me on FaceBook and/or Twitter ! I want 500 friends before the end of July! Wonder if I can do it? Links are either >>> or V not sure where I moved them too. LOL!
Fun post coming tomorrow, so be sure to pop back for a new VLOG (Video Blog)! Wonder what THATS going to be all about?! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm heheheh!
Until l8r!
