Weight Loss?

Want to lose some weight but need some extra motivation?

Join me for the

"Biggest Loser Competition"!

Below are all the rules.  Now, some of you may be thinking that the entry fee is a little much.  Just think of how much harder you are going to try to win to get ALL the money!!  If you're interested, send me an email at morethantenpounds AT gmail DOT com and I will answer any questions you may have and tell you where you can send the money. 

(Now if I can be cheesy for just a moment)

What are you waiting for?  You have nothing to lose but the weight!!

RULES

1. The contest will begin on July 9th and end on August 20th (6 weeks)

2. The entry fee for participant is $50 and is due by July 16th. The fee is non refundable unless the participant is no longer able to participate due to illness, injusr, death, pregnancy, or act of God.

4. The participants will weigh themselves every Friday, starting July 9th, and email their weight to Natalie at [email protected] by midnight.  If a participant fails to email their weight every week, then they will not be able to win the prize, but are welcome to still participate in the contest.

Neglect

So I know I have neglected this blog, but I'm doing GREAT with my other one.  If you want to check it out, go to http://www.aramblingreeder.blogspot.com/.  You can even read with me, if you want.

Anyway, much has been going on with my family.  Most importantly - we have to get a new car. :(  Wes got in an accident - not his fault - and it totaled the car.  MY CAR!! The car I have had since I was 16!! I'm so sad to see it go, but I think it's cool we'll get a "new to us" car.  Wes it out picking one out right now.  So hopefully he gets something we both like.  My requirements - 4 doors, fits 2 car seats easily and isn't SMALLER than the civic.  Not too much to ask, right? :)

I wish we had pictures of the smashed car, but that wasn't really my first thought at the time.  Now I'm definately bummed that I didn't take them - oh well.  Can't do anything about it now.

Let's see... Weston is walking now.  Really well, actually.  He still only has 2 teeth, but is a such a fun one year old.  Bromley is funny and starting to say "NO!" alot more, but that's ok.  Just stay calm, right?!?  That's what I keep trying to tell myself - even though it doesn't always work out that way. :)

Wes and I are still here and enjoy being parents and LOVE being married to each other.  Could I really ask for anyone better?  He's so amazing and kind and loving and... ok, I really didn't want to get all mushy there - it just came out.

I'll try to be better about updating, especially with pictures.  Peace out!

I picked it!

I made my January Pick - wanna read with me?

I got It!

While thinking about what I wanted to do with my blog, I actually came up with the idea for a whole other blog.  So here it is http://www.aramblingreeder.blogspot.com/.  Inspired by my last name, i thought I'd spend this next year reading one book a month.  then writing my thoughts and impressions about it.  You're welcome to join me if you'd like - i guess like a blog book club. :)
I'd really love you ideas about books to read.  I know some, but I'm always up for something new.  Let me know what you like - please?  Thanks!

Happy New Year!

Christmas 2009

So as the year closes, I realize what I crappy job I've done at blogging! :( My intentions were that every time I would come check other people's blogs, that I would also make that effort - but of course you can tell that didn't happen. So my new 2010 goal (I don't want to call it a New Year's resolution cause who really follows through with those for the year - I only make it a month, ok, maybe a week?) anyway, back to the goal: I am going to use this as my journal. I don't actually write in a journal; though I know I should. Since I enjoy being on the computer so much - I should have time for a little writing. Let's see... what's reasonable? Hmm... I'mm gonna say once a week. 52 posts in a year. That doesn't sound too bad. i know many of you do way more than that. If you look at when I did my last post, you'll know why once a week is just perfect. I guess if I feel like doing more... that will just be a bonus. WHAT DO YOU BLOG ABOUT? I know I've done my coupons (which I am still doing tons of, but it just gets alot to have to type everything in) and some family things. What's the purpose of a blog? Hmm... I'll have to think that over. ANY IDEAS?

well, i know i could ramble more, but i really just wanted to wish you all a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope yours was as much fun as ours.

Now... what to do for New Years?
