Pantry!!

I got brave and decided to clean out/ organize my pantry... 1st let me say... for a 4 bedroom house, almost 3000 sq ft you would think I would have a bigger pantry... Here is the before picture...


Well, while cleaning it out .. I found I have 6 cans of Apple pie filling ... huh? I make apple pie once maybe twice a year... and I have 6 cans???? I also have a LOAD of tomato sauce... I don't know why I have soo much ... LOL Ok, the 500 bags of popcorn.. that is for my popcorn addiction.. that is ok :)

Here is the after picture...

Monday!

It is Monday ... yuk yuk yuk !!! It seems it has been 19 days since I was laid off :( I still have not found a job. I have applied for many, but nothing yet. I am hoping to find something soon. I applied at the local library which has a part time opening, I think I am going to call and follow up on that today. Other than looking for a job, I am going to work on backing up my computer so it will be quicker when I get my new laptop this week. I also have a ton of books I have been wanting to read...

Workout day #4

Day 4 -- afternoon -- went for a 1 1/2 mile walk... I was very motivated today, hopefully tomorrow will be better !!!

Workout day #3

I have decided to keep a journal of my workouts on this blog as well. I am hoping it will help me keep motivated also!

Day 3

9am - walked 2.02 miles - it was a fast pace walk. I used the treadmill which I think the motor may be going out :( It was a little too chilly this morning to go walk outside. I am going to try and go this afternoon and walk about 1 -2 miles when I take Delphi for her walk.

Boring...

Let's see, what did I do today?

Ran a mile!! yipee
updated my address on my drivers license... finally
housework !!

I didn't cook dinner because I have cooked all week and just don't feel like do much this evening. So, Rik went and got Pizza from Mr. Jim's

Shelby is at a friends and Kaleb has a friend staying the night today. I think we are going to watch a movie and I think I may just go to bed early tonight, I am just feeling beat!!

New computer!!!

Shelby's Powerbook seemed to have some problems the other day.. it of course isn't covered under the warranty anymore. I remembered that we have a special clause in our homeowners policy for our computers. So, I called the insurance company today after going to Apple store and being told that it had suffered trauma. Well, trauma is covered. After talking to them and telling them all the specs about the computer, they decided I needed to get a new one :) So, they went online to the Apple store and picked one comperable. She is transferring the money to my account tonight -- dang they are fast!! I am getting he white 13" MacBook It is pretty much the same as mine, but upgraded ... sooo ... I will get the new one and Shelby will get my old one. Now, I just have to wait for the money to get into my account and off to the Apple store I go :)

Workout!

I got a call from my DR the other day and he said I have HIGH CHOLESTEROL :( I have decided to start eating better and working out. I need alot of motivation to keep up a workout routine, so I spent $29.00 and got the Nike+ Sport Kit. I got and got it all set up and went upstairs to the treadmill and tried it out... I did 1/2 first (had to answer the phone)... anyway, a made a mini (you can see to the left). Let me tell you Miss Mini is a bitch!!! She is a little annoying, saying I/she is a couch potato, ect. I decided I would go run some more, so I did a mile... thinking that would make her happy, but NO.. she is still talking smack ! Thanks Dawn for convincing me to make her and I even have her as my screensaver (thanks again Dawn).

Since I am a techie kind of person, I am hoping this will keep me somewhat motivated.

Already...

It is only noon and I have already...

• Gone to the mall and to the Apple store (45 min one way!)
• Hooked up my New Nike+
• Ran/ walked 1/2 mile (then the phone rang and had to take the call)

Well, it seemed like alot until it is in black and white...LOL

I am soo sleepy this morning ! Last night we had some really bad weather. I was worried about Tornadoes! Luckily, it was an uneventful night !

The kids are off to school, hubby is in bed sick.. I am sitting here watching Fringe from last night. ( I decided to try and go to bed early) I noticed I only have 2 hours left on my DVR, guess I better watch some TV today :)

I found this cartoon in our little town paper... I had to share... it was pretty good since I was just laid off myself.

Rik and I took the kids to Disney World for 4 days. We had a great time !!! Hayley was able to ride all the rides and she did ! We met the princesses and alot of other characters !!

1st day: Went to Animal Kingdom... rode Mount Everest first ... We all loved it !!! Left when the park closed to check into the hotel. We stayed at Shades of Green which is a military resort on Disney. It was sooo nice !!!

2nd Day: went to Magic Kingdom -- we got to be in the parade !! ( we were the cheerleaders - even Rik and the boys !!) We also won a lanyard with 2 pins. ( Pin trading is really big .. and of course, me and the kids are hooked !!!) We stayed for the fireworks, which were incredible !! As we were leaving the park after the fireworks it started to POUR DOWN !!! We got back to the hotel at about 11pm ... and I think we were all asleep before we hit the pillows !!

3rd Day: went to Epcot -- after opps, sleeping in a little. We went to and had a great time ... even when I almost of squished in the monorail door... the kids were laughing at me !!! We went around the world in about 8 hours :)Soarin is the most awesome ride .. as well as Test track !!! We left a little early from the park cause we had to check out of the hotel the next morning and we were all a little tired !

4th Day: We went to MGM studios -- we checked out of the hotel and drove to MGM, got there for the opening and made our lunch reservations. We got alot of autographs from characters and Hayley got to see the High School Musical pep rally ! We rode Rockin Roller Coaster .. me and Hayley got up front seats !!! She was soo excited ! I kinda thought she may be a little scared ... but HECK no ! She was hollaring with JOY the whole ride !!! We ate lunch at the Sci Fi Drive In, which was a blast ! We had to leave early from the park to head back to the Magic Kingdom to get the mouse ear hats with names put on them :)

Tomorrow we go to DISNEY ~ yippeee !!! I can't wait to get some time away, of course, with the move it seems silly going on vacation for 4 days, but it will be a nice break.

We had a Cinco de Mayo party and had a great time ! There were, as always, more kids and adults :)

Well, my boss would not approve my vacation for tomorrow, so I can to an agreement that I would work for a few hours tomorrow morning, so I can get my stuff done for the day. I should be out of there about 7 or 8am ! Time enough to get to Disney and go to a park before checking into the hotel.
