TWO POUNDS!!!

This is the first time I’m writing about it on any of my four blogs, but readers, I am a member of Weight Watchers. It’s true. I joined back in October and have been working hard to shed those pounds ever since. I’ve lost over 40 pounds, but here’s the thing, I seem to be a bit stuck. UGH!!!! What is going on? I’ve been going up and down, up and down, ever since the week of my birthday. My birthday was over two months ago. Yeah. I know. Two months of teeter-tottering is too much. It’s time to get down to business. I’m RECOMMITTING to Weight Watchers. It’s a fact. I’m going to go back to the Weight Watchers tracking sheets. And I am going to do it right. I think all we need sometimes is to start fresh, you know. Couples “start again” all the time. Each day is fresh with no mistakes (at least that’s what I learned from Anne of Green Gables). So tomorrow is day one of Rece Weight Watcher Part II. Please feel free to check-in and see how I’m doing or better yet, join me in this new adventure. Stay tuned for more. ☺

Today I received a birthday card from my insurance company in the mail. Now my life is complete. ☺

Bday ReCap

Please note:

BIRTHDAY WAS FANTASTIC!

Went to Sam Bonds, by far the best bar/music venue in Eugene and listened to SambaDa, a GREAT band that I have now fallen in love with!

Have a Happy WEEKEND folks!

Perfect birthday, uh huh, RIGHT!

Breaking out the puzzle. That’s right. I purchased a puzzle for myself just in case my birthday plans didn’t work out. And that’s what I’m gonna have to do.

Happy birthday, Rece. I know… I’m ridiculous.

April 15th rocks

This morning, I woke up at 6:18. My dad was on the phone, ready to wish me a happy birthday. He asked me when I was planning on getting up and eating my good breakfast. I said I didn’t know.

I woke up again at 7:24. I figured my mom was calling me. I was partially right. My Ukrainian host mother, Alya, was calling me from overseas. I got the same question I always get, when are you coming back? I hate this question. If I could, I would go back tomorrow. But things are in the way. School. Dentist bills. The usual. But let me tell you, this phone call woke me up. Nothing makes your day better than a call from old friends in another country.

This birthday is bound to be an interesting one. And if it isn’t, I always have a puzzle to work on at home. ☺

Birthday Goodness

Today, I went shopping for my birthday present. Initially, I had planned to buy myself a record table. That idea was shot down when I decided to buy a new computer for school. Thus, my birthday present was put on hold for the THIRD year in a row.

I entered Fred Meyer not planning to buy myself a gift. I had intended to buy some cookie dough to make some cookies during my long homework session tonight. I ended up in the card and gift bag aisle and the rest is history.

The yellow gift bag has five items in it.
1. Princess and the Frog coloring book – During my senior year at DHS, I was a bench warmer on the volleyball team. Because of my bench time, I didn’t take much of the season seriously. I took coloring books to all games and my friends and I would color.
2. 750 piece puzzle – I like puzzles. Who doesn’t? As I’m turning 27, it’s about time I settle down into the seriousness of life and put together another puzzle.
3. Chocolate – I didn’t go with dove. Hershey’s now has PURPLE wrapping on their milk chocolate. Yum!
4. Purple pen pack – Um, I like to write and I love purple.
5. Adam – The Blockbuster is closing. I got a movie for $4 to watch on my birthday.

That’s it. Now I just have to wrap it and wait to open it on Thursday.
