so glad it's Wednesday..

Only a couple of days of this crazy week.. Thank God. Today is Ash Wednesday and I was thinking of going to church but I took an allergy pill this morning and I am sure to fall asleep. ugh.. not good. I still may if my SIL calls. She was in training and she wasn't sure if they were gonna let her out early enough to get down here. We'll see.

I've been working non-stop since last week. I haven't gotten a break until about now. I actually still have tons of work to do. But I'm saying screw it for just a few minutes.. long enough for me to write in my poor blog. Before now I'd been posting an entry everyday except maybe Saturday and Sunday. Well I'm gonna be back on track. I've noticed that when I write stuff down I do so much better during the day. All the frustrations and aggravation get typed and out and I feel like I'd just vented. LOL

This weekend we have Erik's first regular soccer game of the season. They did so well in their tourney that I'm hoping he can pull out a win. Saturday we're also invited to do to my bosses house for a party. I'm hoping we can go as they have great food, drinks and music. We'll see how Saturday goes. We're in the process of looking into buying a car. Either a new or used.. we'll see. Last night we test drove this really REALLY nice 2004 Explorer. It was a Limited Edition... so it was pimped out. I loved it. It only had 37 miles.. must have been a lease. We're gonna keep looking around but if this baby is still there on Saturday we may just have to walk away with that baby. Although I'd much rather have a van.. more room for standing and what not.. I'll settle for a bigger SUV. This car actually sits seven which would be wonderful. I guess by Saturday we'll have a new car.. or hopefully we will. Our Explorer is totally a POS. It's on it's last legs. The bad thing is we still owe on it. See that's what you get when you refinance a home equity loan and they ask you if you want to include the car.. ugh. This bad boy is a 1998. We should have been done paying for this long ago. Oh well you live and learn right..

This week is such a good week for tv.. The bachelor finale was on Monday. Although he didn't pick the girl I liked the other was ok. She was nice and cute. Tuesday you had American Idol and Amazing Race. I missed most of AI as I was out at the car lot looking at cars. I did catch all of AR and I just loved it. Tonight I think is AI again.. and then tomorrow well you have Survivor.. and all the rest of the must see tv line up. I'm excited.

I lost 1.4 lbs this week. I've been doing better with dieting.. and also better with not weighing myself everyday. I have a coworker that is gonna go with me to meetings on Fridays at noon when we get out of here. It will be nice to actually have someone there for support when we want to snack. I only worked out 3 days last week.. not bad considering I had a loss. Now I'm wondering if I'm pushing myself to do 6 days a week, 4 miles a day. That seems like a lot when you're not losing crap. Well I'm keeping on truckin for darn sure. Hope all is well with you guys. I'm off to work once again.

Good luck to Erik and team on the game - i bet they will do great!!
and I hope you find a nice car at a very nice price!
WTG on the continued weight loss. That should be very good to have someone there with you as support.

Uhm, now that I think about it more. I think you should convince S to get a minivan. Big Daddy raves about the Honda's. He always talks about how nice they are when he works on the. Selling point to S.....You know S, the Honda has the stow away seating, and minivans have a lot of "leg room in the back" *wink wink*
