So last weekend (well my weekend workwise) Thurs/Fri Daniel and I went to Fayetteville for a late Christmas to visit Randy and Jean. We have made it a "thing" to stop on our way over there to get cookout milkshakes. They have 99 cent specials every week. This time it was Heath bar. MMM
Anyways... here are some more highlights of the "weekend"
- I have a new nickname
- I got in my first outdoor run since Thanksgivig (thanks to all the snow)
- I indulged in Cheetos, burgers, and pork.
- got dunkin donuts AND ate them in the truck on the way back to the house!
- spent good quality time with family. :)

haircut
Well... a few weeks ago I saw some pictures of me during Christmas and I was taken back by HOW much my hair was out of control! So I decided to make an appt to get my hair cut. I made an appt a couple weeks ago and went this past Thursday. I had the gal cut off 3 inches of my hair and she thinned it out, added layers, etc. I got home later that night and I felt so much different. I MISSED my hair! I understand that there was just way too much of it but that length! I havn't had that much of a hair cut since summer of 2006. I went about my night and all of friday. I met Alex for lunch, picked up Val to take her to the airport, and spent time with Daniel.
Apparently it cant be that obvious because Alex had to ask, Valerie never said anything and I havn't heard a peep out of Daniel. But i know that there is so much less... I think I just have to get used to it. (It doesnt look bad... just different)

lost
Well happy new year! It has been since before Christmas that I have posted anything here. I did not mean for it to go that way but every time I went to do something, I got busy with life, work, etc, OR just had no interest. So.. here we go...
First off, since I had last posted, I have made 4 more dishes of sweet potato stuff, had Christmas at my house and my parent's house, gotten so busy at work (2 contract in the Christmas week) and both of those future homeowners wanted to close within 2-3 weeks.
So we visited with Tony, Charity, Daniel's mom, Stephen, Grandma, Jane, My parents, my siblings, 3 of my aunts, 3 uncles, their children, my grandparents, and a few more. We had Daniel's family at our home the Sunday before Christmas and had a good time as usual. I had to be at work for that day so I got home later when everyone was there.
When we went to my parent's house, we knew that we were to expect snow. I had Alex call when it started snowing bad and I had to tell my parents. I felt SO terrible. I know that I hurt their feelings so bad and I did my best to console my mother. I tried explaining to her that its better I leave then to not have be around for another Christmas (in case I got hurt). We ended up staying later than what we wanted to but we did make it back alright. Greensboro was bad right when we got into the city. We slid on some roads and I got heartburn because I was so scared!
Since Christmas, I have been even more gung-ho about getting the most out of my workouts. One of my fav things from Christmas was my gymboss timer. Its pink and is my boss at the gym. I watch workouts from bodyrock.tv and then preform them by myself at the gym or at home if I cant get to the gym.
Yesterday I did this one workout (which was a couple days too late). Pull ups, burpees, right squat, left squat. Repeat 10 times. Each round is 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. Lets just say my back is sore today. I think I did close to 80 pullups!
But alas, today is another snow day. I have been hanging with the cats all day. Country Biscuit is actually snuggled on my lap right now staring at my hands typing away. He also rooted me on when I did my daily exercise and 8 piece watched me attempt to put together a carpet cleaner. I gave up and Im waiting on Daniel to come home. He does so much better with things like that.
