The BEST part of Easter

That's right Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. EVERY Easter I look forward to getting my hands on one or two of these.

I stopped off at Rite Aid yesterday on my way to work specifically for one of these precious gems. To my surprise, they now have KING sized peanut butter eggs. I don't think I even need to tell you which one I bought.

The best part is that even though I strayed by having one of these ginormous delights, I still lost weight for the day :)

Woot woo! 3 lbs to go!

Update

I've got to say, this past week off for spring break has been GREAT. I have had to do some studying, but I did get to enjoy a lot more of it than I thought I would. I'm sad to go back to an exam first thing Wednesday morning :(

These next couple of weeks are going to be chaotic. On April 10th, I have an exam that will determine if I get to move on to my 2nd year in the program. Needless to say, I'm very stressed about it.

Brian's mom and sister have released some cute photos from the wedding. I'm also working on prepping for my cousin Nikki's wedding in October. She wants us all in black, and I found a super cute black dress that is going to be just perfect....so I'm all set there. However, she's having a bachelorette party in Las Vegas this August, which means I need to save up MUCHO DINERO for flight, drinks, hotel, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it will be tons of fun, but I'm not looking forward to all the money it's going to cost :(

All of these weddings are making me very....antsy. lol. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

I got to go up last week to see baby Connor. He's doing really well and has already gained FOUR POUNDS in the last month! You would never guess it though, he has also gained some length so it has all evened out. Such a cutie! As much as I love him though, that is one thing I'm NOT antsy for just yet, lol.

Weight loss is going slow but steady. I've lost 6 lbs since I started and have another 4 to go. Over the summer, I'd like to start hitting the gym more to start toning up a bit....mostly my arms and back. We'll see how that goes!

Anyway, time to shower and head off to work....I'll check in later when there are some more blog-worthy things going on in my life, lol.

Goodbye Alex!

So, my brother in law....(ok, not really. He is my cousin's husband. My cousins and I are so close that I consider him a brother in law.)

Anyway, my brother in law is in the Marine reserves and headed out to Iraq. This weekend was his last weekend before he heads off for 7 months, so we wanted to all get together and do something fun. There isn't much "fun" in Fremont, so we all ended up at the Saddle Rack. It isn't a place that we would choose to go normally, but we all had lots of fun anyway.

So goodbye to Alex. You will be missed by all of us and we can't wait to have you home safe and sound. You can keep up on how this Marine wife is doing while he is gone. Maybe send her some nice thoughts.

I'm too short to get everyone in the picture. My arms only stretch so far!

Good luck getting this bunch to be serious...

Nice husband and wife slow dance

All of my boys!

Driving Me Crazy!

Ever since I got the new cat, I have found cat piss in inappropriate locations on four occasions. The first time was in my purse, the second was in an empty shoe box, the third was on my old bath mat, and the fourth was on my new bath mat.

This time, they did it on a Sunday when I was out of quarters to do laundry....and I can't go to a bank on a Sunday.

I don't know who is doing it, so I cannot punish the behavior. Every time I've had to suck it up and just clean the mess. I'm already scooping the box every other day, to make sure that their box is clean. Maybe I need to start doing it every single day? Wow, as if I'm not busy enough already...

I did some online researching and found that it can be due to stress. My cats don't get along particularly well, so I can imagine this would be causing some stress. I also changed the litter box recently to a larger, enclosed box, which could also be stressing them out I suppose.

I read that ideally, you should have 1.5 litter boxes per cat in the home. This seems crazy to me...If I don't need 1.5 toilets (I'm not sure what .5 of a toilet would look like...) then I'm not sure why my cat's would. That's THREE litter boxes for a tiny one bedroom apartment. Just seems a bit excessive. It's hard enough as it is to hide ONE litter box and fight the odor in a place as small as this.

Fortunately, I saved the old smaller box, so I'll start using that one too. I don't know where I'm going to put it that is out of general view, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Sorry kitties, it' s only 1 litter box per cat, but this will just have to do. Spoiled little shits.

I'll keep you all posted on the results.

Saint Patrick's Day Bust

I didn't get to do ANYTHING for Saint Patty's this year. I studied for a midterm all day and then was in class until 9pm. After that, I had to come right home to finish up papers that are due at 9am tomorrow. It's nearly 1 am now and I have to get to bed to be up by 7 for a full day of classes.

At the very least, it would have been nice to drink some green beer and eat some green food :(

Well, Happy Saint Patricks Day to you all anyway...even though it is technically tomorrow by now.

Saint Patty's Pedis!

My cousin Holly took me out and treated me to a pedicure. I LOVE to get regular pedis, but I lost a lot of income when I had to drop the classes I teach from 4 down to 3 to stay afloat in my own classes. Since then I've been painting my own toes...sometimes....when I'm not lazy lol. Most of the time the paint is chipped and fugly.



Thanks Holly!
