Changing again

So it is summer yet again and the office had the company owners show up. My boss said we should be professional and I took that to dress the part as well. So I looked in the closet of doom and picked out a few skirts and chose one that was pretty. I hadn't put the skirt on in months. (I hate skirts) I couldn't get the skirt over my hips. I was pissed. I have gained soo much weight for a job that pays the bills. I think that the thing that sealed it for me is that i found a job that requires me to lift 25 Lbs to do something I want to do... Baking COOKIES!!!

So I decided that I can't take not fitting clothes in my anymore. So I have decided to start to change my eating habits, and exercise a little bit more. I for the last two days have been doing Yoga in the morning before work.

I do plan on getting to the bike and doing some cardio. Also I plan on doing some bench pressing once I convince Uurs to spot me. I dislike lifting free weights with out someone spotting me. Something I was instilled when I was doing weightlifting in high school.

So I have had yogurt and berries for breakfast with some additional protein. Lately it has been hot pockets. (too hot to cook) But soon enough I would be able to just get motivated. I want to lose this weight and be able to lift those 25 lbs soon.

Maybe soon enough I will be able to find something new, and fresh and maybe I will lose a little bit of the weight. Here is to hoping.

Summner Heat

So it is a little warm for WA state. We have been upper 70's, low 80's. We are not used to this weather. Today being Saturday we decided to try to beat the heat by lounging around the house with fans and friends. Being on the couch with my laptop and 4 guys around me ... this is a lot of heat.
We are not at home with the AC but at a friend's house with fans and the sun at my back. Heat makes me sleep. I am tired and hot and uncomfortable.

I luckily have working the past few days in an AC room with the fan on and with today was the last Sat of the month it was the last min crunch. Today was 13 evaluations and I did it in 6 hrs instead of the 8 I had planned. I just tell myself I have 25 days left then Vegas here we come.

Speaking of Vegas I hear that once we get to Vegas and sign in to the Con it will be non-stop action and chaos. This will be my first Con and not sure how this works. Hopefully I will be able to keep up. Speaking of which I still need to pick up some shirts and shorts and some tanks and jeeze a basic new wardrobe... wonder how much it would cost for a Britta filter thingy in Vegas... or if bottled water will be the best option as both boys are allergic to chlorine. What fun to think about that.

Vegas here we come!!!!!

So my plan in life is to visit all 50 states and maybe some other countries. So far I have been to 4 states soon to be 5. Well we live in WA state, so that checks that one off the list.

We also took a vacation to Georgia to visit friends and go to Dragon con. That was a lot of fun. I wish we could have stayed longer for the full con. Maybe next time.

Next state we went to was California where my hubby proposed to me underneath the archway in Sleeping Beauty's castle where they do the fire works. Mind you I couldn't eat much afterwords but overall the trip was fun.

So that is three states so far, but the last state we have been to was Oregon. We went for a wedding and to visit Uurson's parent's graves at Willamette national cemetary. It was Memorial day weekend.

Now I can say that officially soon I will have been to 5 states. I am going to Vegas baby. Now mind you both Uurson and Matt are somewhat allergic to heat. Which is going to pose to be an issue. But I suppose we will be up for the challenge.

We need to get a few last min things, plane tickets, shorts, and shirts. But we have the hotel, and the Con tickets. We also get to see an old time friend. I haven't seen her in years. I get to meet her youngest and see her oldest again.

On a side note that I have a new mini type laptop. It is uber cute and it allows me to blog more and avoid the computer desk. Something I sit at every day. Here is hoping Vegas comes soon and will make for a great trip.

Boxes, Boxes everywhere..

So I haven't posted in a very long, long time, and I am sorry for those who frequent in hope for an update. But here is an update for you.

So we had to move last October but this time it is from a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom townhome (1325 sq.ft.) to a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom (850 sq. ft.) apartment. Now this is a huge down grade for us, however it was a necessary move as they were re-modeling the old town home. (On a side note we found out later that it has asbestos in it)

Normally we don't have an issue with moving but this time we had some issue as we don't have a lot of money to move with but yet we got some friends to help and we got it done within 2-weeks or so.

The issue we have with the current apartment is that we just don't have the room for everything. Especially we had to clear out a storage unit. We moved in with boxes and found out that we have more stuff than we thought. We had about 82 boxes of stuff that we had in storage just sitting there.

This is the picture of our front door where we had the bulk of the boxes. We don't use our front door as our roomate has some mobility issues and can't go up the stairs. Mind you this shot is just reciently.

Again another picture of the door. I mean this is nothing compared to this...

Yeah this is our bedroom. We had to put most of the boxes in the bedroom for the holidays. Here is another shot to show you the extreme of the boxes.

Now you must be curious what is most of these boxes. Well to show you.. yes I have more pictures.

You guessed it MAIL. I HATE MAIL. Mail and paperwork, it has been an issue, I just don't have a system yet for mail. Although it doesn't help that we don't have a shredder yet. I finally have decided that I need to get organized. But here is our start.

So this is our start to organization. Here is hoping that we will get done with this before summer. We are down to 33 in the living room and 32 in the bedroom. So 65 boxes total. We can do it.

We also want to get most of the mail sorted before May as our community is having a Shred-a- thon. Woo.

Yes it is stolen, but I had to do it. :)

Falls are painful!!!

So I have concluded that falls are painful!! So let me set the scene shall I?
It was our Wednesday night game and we were wrapping up and getting ready to go home. We noticed that one of our friends left her purse at the house we were playing at, so we called her and said that it was there. She turned around and came back for it. So she had fell just a few min prior but only to her knee. So she was fine but I didn't want her to fall again. So I ran into the house to grab her purse and then promtly Walk/Run it to her. I slipped and fell into the mud on my but and heard a "Crack, Crack, Crack" and I couldn't move. My ankle hurt so bad I was afraid to move it. I had my husband and a friend help me into the car and off we went home to put the cousin -in - law home and call the urgent care nurse to see what we should do. So their resolution was to go to the hospital and have it checked out.
This mind you is my first real memory of ever going to a hospital, it was a scary thought. We went and parked the car, the ankle was down to a dull roar and was able to move it kind of but it still hurt. We spent a total of only 1.5 ish hours in the hospital. That was it. I was very happy with the care that I got. The final deduction was that I had sprained the ankle bad, to the point where they gave me drugs , a brace, and crutches.
Let me tell you re-learning the cutches is a pain. but if I can't put weight on the foot then well you kinda have to learn fast. Well I am gonna go put the foot up and try to relax and maybe convince the cousin -in- law to get me some water.
Will keep you posted if it becomes worse.

Updating you on our status

Well I finally broke down and got a myspace account. I really was reluctant to get one but since I have more and more friends logging on to myspace I figured I should get an account. So yeah I got the account and hopefully it looks okay.

Matt went to the hospital recenetly. We found out that he is allergic to shellfish the hard way. He had some shrimp ramen and his throat was sore and was not feeling well. On Tuesday morning early, 2am pst, Uurson took him to the hospital and they gave him some benedryl and some sterriods. They didn't get out of the hospital until almost 7am.

He is starting to feel better but it is going to be progressive. I am hoping that he is not getting brochitis or something worse. But here is to Matt feeling better.

Well I am off. If you want to be my myspace friend just look up Kitty or ask me.
