Lent

Well today is the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday.  I was a good Catholic girl today and I went with some of my co-workers to get my ashes.  Before today, I can't even tell you the last time I got my ashes.  This year I am giving up Facebook for Lent! I also vow to go to church every Sunday during Lent and I hope to continue church-going past Lent as I'd like to become a more spiritual person (as much as I can, lol)_).  

Last week I started back doing my strict WW routine, following the points system, exercising at least a 1/2 hour 5x/week, etc.  In addition, I gave up red meat (I am going to try to do this forever) and I'd like to slowly cut back on my dairy intake.  I started this by replacing milk with Light Silk soy milk, which I love! The chocolate one tastes like Yoohoo, its great!

Being in the new apartment, I'd like to make these changes and set these goals and start living a more healthy lifestyle... both nutritionally, mentally and spiritually. I will be sure to blog my progress with this.  I even got a new haircut to kick it all off! I got 4 inches cut off, so now my hair is the length of my collarbone.  I will post a picture or two once they are uploaded. 

Love is Like...

This video is so cute! It's a must see! 

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Ron and I will be laying low at home but I'll be baking and relaxing... I will post some pics too! 

Marlei and Skylar

Ron's nieces, Marlei and Skylar...  at Grandma's house celebrating post-Christmas! Since we were in FL this year for the holidays, we celebrated Christmas again in January.  It was actually kind of nice to do this in old January where there's nothing really to look forward to! 

Skylar is about one and a half here; Marlei is about 1 and a half months.
