Purdue Sports anyone?

So I have to say that I’m WAY excited about this Saturday! This weekend we have the Purdue Football game IU vs. Purdue at Noon. So Tait and I will be in attendance with that. I happened to win tickets to the Men’s basketball game on Saturday evening for Coppin State (have no idea) but it’s a sold out game and I have tickets and the basketball team is GOOOOOOD! So we are going to that! So I have both Football AND basketball THEN after that Tait and I are going to go to La Costa which is an Italian restaurant here in Lafayette. I’m SOOOOOO EXCITED! Tait’s parents are coming down to watch the girls overnight so we will have an entire day of KID FREE! I’m so very excited. I LOVE my children…. But I love having breaks too. I think this will be a good time for Tait and I too b/c it’s a break for us to get out and enjoy sports and be with one another. I can’t wait.

So I have to say the past two weeks I have lost NO weight… I haven’t gained but I haven’t lost so it’s okay… but still sad L I was hoping to be at 30 lbs by Thanksgiving… I’m only 4 lbs away so maybe if I exercise EVERY day and stop eating like a horse for the next couple of days I can do it… Wish me luck! Tait lost 4 lbs last week so he’s catching up to me! Men loose weight SOOOO much faster than woman anyways… I mean it’s not fair we have to be pregnant with the children gain then lose in a 11 month period of time… then have some “left over” THEN Men can just snap their fingers and lose weight and women don’t have that luxury… Of course I think part of my problem is my exercising has been dismissal this week AND my eating has been on HIGH gear… I hate stress… I eat… (sigh)

Overall we have been doing pretty well at our home. We have hit some major pot holes but we are working through it. The girls are doing really well. Maya is still chatting away. We don’t always know what she’s saying but she is doing much better at talking. Lehna is growing and growing and growing. It’s hard to keep her jeans right now. She doesn’t fit in 5 & 6 in the hips and thighs but 6x’s don’t fit her in the length… so she has had lots of jeans that have been hemmed but we will have to lower when the times comes. Hopefully she will keep her current jeans for awhile they are bigger on her but the regular 6’s you could tell after ONE wash you knew that she wouldn’t be able to fit her again… It’s crazy!!!! I broke out the 2T’s for Maya last night. Mostly b/c her 24 month clothes are all short sleeve and warm weather clothing. And since it’s pretty cold around here right now… they said it’s 10-20 degrees lower then normal, but it Indiana for you.

Well the election is over. I did do my civic duty and I voted. I didn’t know where I was supposed to go but I found out (they changed it from the last time we could vote) so I voted and so it should be an interesting change. I am kind of excited about having a democrat back in the white house… not that I’m a Democrat nor am I a Republican I sit somewhere in the middle. I just am glad that we are going to have a new face in there hopefully he will bring new ideas and we will progress forward making a better tomorrow. LOL well that’s the idea anyways.

So in my car I have been listening to the Messiah. I have to say I like to try to remember my parts and sing while I’m driving down the road. It’s very relaxing. I of course probably look like a total IDIOT but I don’t care b/c its fun. I know it’s not Thanksgiving and it is Christmas music but it just puts me in a good place when I listen to it. I am thinking about adding some more Christmas music to my car so I can sing more as I go back and forth to work everyday. I have given up my daily chats on my cell phone I only talk to Jackie randomly and it usually isn’t very long before her signal goes out… sooooooo I have to do something in the car for 35 minutes!!!

So let’s see what else is going on. Thanksgiving is next week. I’m very excited about it. I can’t wait to eat turkey and I think perogies (I’m assuming grandma is helping make those) I hope to not gain a ton of weight but a few pounds won’t totally kill me. You know what I mean. I want to enjoy myself… but not overdo it. J See it’s this type of mentality that hasn’t let me loose any weight for the past TWO WEEKS! (sigh)

Well that’s all that’s going one… do you like my background? Yeah it’s groovy… the website was I got my background apparently is having bandwidth problems I’m hoping the fix the problem soon… I mean as much as I love the bandwidth warning on my screen… Jackie is supposed to change the background sometime soon… sooooo all will be well.

Okay well that’s all I have for now…

Have a great Thanksgiving if I don’t see you over the holiday!
