"20 pounds of brown sugar"

I love the fall. It is when all the grocery stores have their case lot sales. It is wonderful. I now have my food storage almost completely stocked!
My grandma says that happiness is having a full wood shed. I think it could include having a full pantry.

The Wagon.. Week 3

Okay I didn't post last week because I was very embarrassed. My scale was broken and I didn't know until last week. It was weighing me 10 lbs lighter than I am. Last Monday was not a good day for me.
There was weeping, wailing and a little teeth gnashing. Poor Kyle didn't know what to do. I was distraught and inconsolable. But Kyle went out and got a new scale and Now I'm right back on track.
So I thought I was 281 last week that was a 5 lb loss, but really because my scale was broken I was 291... and I started at 296. Ugh.. I was almost 300!
That is not good. But I am happy to report that this morning I was 286.8. I am down a total of 9.2lbs.
Thank you for your support.

I hate the wagon.

Well it is time for me to get off my duff and do something about my weight.
So I have started the wagon. I am not happy about this... I wish that I were just naturally skinny and beautiful... But I guess I'll settle for smart and beautiful.
I started the "wagon" on Sept. 1st. To prove how serious I am ... I weight 286. That's right. I am now officially considered obese. I am very sad that I have let myself be so lazy. But I am changing that now.
With the help and encouragement from Mom and sisters I have a plan.
This week I worked out on the elliptical machine so far on Mon, Tues, Thurs. I took Wed. off because my knees really hurt. But I am on the Weight Watchers food points. My official weigh day is Monday. I would like to loose 30 lbs by Christmas and 10 lbs by Madame Butterfly. I am very excited to fit into normal theatre seats again.
This morning I was 283.5... so I'm going down. I am looking forward to showing some "After" pictures.
Thank you for your support.

It was a Par-tay!

So the Family Reunion was so much fun. I really enjoyed spending time with the family and we really missed those who couldn't be there. I loved all the new addtions. ie: Spencer-the little-, and Sarah. I took so many pictures.
If you would like all 83 pictures please let me know. ... Kar, I already have yours burned and it's ready for you when you move back to SLC.

I also learned a lot during this past week.
1st. Mom and Dad are still really cute.


2nd. Bowling fashions haven't changed much.

3rd. Spence and Kyle make a great team!

4th. Myah gets a lot of tickets at Chuck E. Cheese.

5th. Jay can still do flips, after all these years. And with a broken "wing"!

6th. Little Spencer really likes ice cream.

It was so great. I hope we can all get together again perhaps next year. And hahaa! I'm the first to blog about it.

Hangin' out, swappin' funnies!

Breaking Dawn...

I just finished reading Breaking Dawn.
I LOVED IT! I was sucker punched a little but I had so much fun. It took me just over 12 hrs to read it. But I did sleep and eat and laundry whilst reading.
I was so sad to leave it.
But it was fun.
