Happy Sunday..

My only day off... went by fast. To fast! Oh well... we had a good time. The girls and I met up with Steve at a soccer game he was working and we hung out with him and the girls got to tour the ambulance and they loved that. Got some pictures of them with it too. I love days like today.. spent with the ones I love the most. Even though Steve was working I still enjoyed every minute of being out there with him and the girls enjoyed it too. After all that is the first thing they were asking me this morning. LOL

I am back to work tomororw. OH joy... wish I had more time off BUT I will at the end of the week and I am going out of town with Steve and NO kids. I cant wait!

So here are a few pictures from today...













Thats all the pictures for now... There will be LOTS more after this weekend. :) Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday..

Our Thanksgiving...

So I am late updating about our Thanksgiving. I have been working all week and just havent had the time to get on here and update. Thanksgiving day the girls, Steve and I spent it out at my Dads house. My stepmom cooked and we ate dinner about 2ish because Steve and I both had to work Thanksgiving night.

It was a good day. I spent it with the ones I love and then went to work and had a pretty good night. Well I have to go get ready for work. Its my Friday! YAY!

Off to a good start..

I have decided to get back on my weight loss mission. I am doing great by the way. Although I could be eating better BUT stress has sure made that impossible. I just dont have an appetite. BUT I am trying. I try and eat a little something here and there throughout the day. Since November 18th. I have lost 9.4 lbs. Yea that is just a week. Hmmmm can you say stress?!?!?! I decided to start taking my phentermine again and really get back into the swing of things like I was when I lost all the weight back in Feb. of 2007. I am going to set a walking routine and stick to it. I really need to get back in shape and feel good about myself. That is all I want to do, is feel good about my body and the way I look.

I know now is the wrong time with the holidays, but I can still eat holiday dinners and be on my diet and be just fine. I dont eat much to begin with even when I wasnt on my diet. My stomache just isnt that big anymore.. So wish me luck on my journey. I can do it. I might hit some bumps along the way but when I set my mind to something it will be accomplished no matter what, that is my stubborn side. :)

R.I.P My dear friend Vando..

I got some VERY sad news today. I went to the grocery store and ran into a lady that works out at a stable part time that I sold my horse Vando to. She recognized me and asked me how I was doing. I told her great. She met the girls and said that I should bring them out sometime to see the horses. I told her I was afraid to come out because I was afraid to be told that Vando was no longer alive. She looked away and looked back at me briefly then looked down again. I said I take that as yes she isnt alive any longer. She said yea actually we lost her last week. I had tears forming in my eyes right there but held it together. GOD that was hard. She could clearly see I was upset. She gave me a hug and said she was sorry and that they had some photos of her throughout her life with them if I would like some copies they would give them to me. I thanked her and told her I would try and bring the girls out sometime to see the horses and left. I got in my car and just cryed. WHY?!?! All this hurt now. I swear I am just doomed to be hurt. I cant handle much more hurt... my heart is just numb from all this hurting. :(

I loved this animal with all my heart. She was my life back in those days and I swear she was like my child. I lost a piece of myself when I had to sell her and Glen at the stables swore he would allow me to come see her whenever I wanted too and I did go see her twice. But it was so hard. It was like she remembered me, I am sure she did. She would neigh and carry on when I left and it was just hard. So I stopped going to see her. I am crushed to hear she is no longer alive. I regret not seeing her more. She was a VERY special horse. You might think I am crazy to be sitting her upset over a horse that is dead. BUT you would have to have known her to know why I am so upset. She had character. She had charm. She could make me laugh and cheer me up when I was down. I would go out and ride her everyday for hours. She was my life. We rode in parades, went to the beach, went camping overnight. You name it we did it. She was my partner in crime. And I feel horrible for not seeing her more.

R.I.P my dear VANDO!! I will miss you!

Here are some photos of her and I that I dug out...
