Thought for the day

Sam:

"Popsicles don't have sugar. They are just lick-able and bite-able."

Fantastic News!

Rob just got an offer from Harper publishing for his book Variant.

"Robison Wells's debut VARIANT, pitched as a modern day LORD OF THE FLIES, set at a boarding school where not everything is as it seems and every day is a fight for survival, to Erica Sussman at Harper Children's, in a significant deal, in a three-book deal, by Sara Crowe at Harvey Klinger (world)."

We are all excited. Congratulations Rob!

I solved a mystery

I just found out why little kids pick their noses and eat it.

Sammy said that he had a booger in his mouth and couldn't get it out because it was sticky. I asked him why he had a booger in his mouth.

He said: "Because I didn't have any place to put it."

A goal completed

I am not a scrapbooker. I have tried and tried but I hate the time it takes and the mess it leaves behind. I love the books. I have many friends who love and are good at scrap booking and admire them for it but I am not a scrapbooker. I want the equivalent of a scrapbook but on my terms and I found it. I finally finished part one of my goal. My family for the past 4 years preserved in a book.

I downloaded Booksmart from Blurb.com and created this book with Rob's and My blog posts for the past 4 years. I even added Holly's blogs at the end.

I love the way it turned out. This is my scrapbook. This is my family history.

Here are just a few pages




Also my weight loss is going horrible but I never give up. It will get better.

The Weight Watch

Mostly I am a very private person (shy really). SO it is with great difficulty that I post this. I feel very exposed. To someone more outgoing this might not seem big but it is huge for me. I started A diet plan last week.

My cousin Lindsey inspired me through her own blog to find someone else to be accountable to. So now I am accountable to my blog.

Last week I lost 3.5 lbs. This week I have so far given into temptation (of my own making) but I am committing again and starting again. So dear blog you are my check and balance. You are my motivation when sugar calls.

Here we go.

Happy 10th Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Rob!

Marrying you was the best decision I ever made. Thanks for my favorite decade so far. I can't wait to see what the next one brings.

Two quick things

1. Here is the picture of my Mom in the emergency room after her fall. I love her thumbs up. What a trooper.

2. We found out what is wrong with Rob. Tietze's Syndrome. He had a Cortizone shot which we are hoping will help. Hooray for Doctor's and finding the cause.
