Working out...hooray!

I've decided that it's time for me to get in shape again and I'm happy to report that Denise Austin and I have grown up together!  Years ago I did her tapes and loved the excercises but hated how overly cheerful she is.  Seriously, it should be a crime!  I bought one of her dvd's this weekend remembering the bittersweet feelings I hold for her and was happy to find that now she's older (like me) and while still cheerful, not so cheerful you want to choke her.  If only you could excercise once and be skinny again!

Catching Up

Well I haven't blogged in a while (thanks to the no internet at home thing...kind of sucks!) so I thought I would catch the world up on our lives.  z has been working tons of overtime.  He finally has a few days off (thank goodness) and I finally get to remember who he is since I haven't seen him in weeks!  My work schedule and his work schedule make it so that I get to see him a few minutes before I leave for work in the mornings and not at all at night.  It sucks to see him so little!  Normally this schedule is just for the first part of the week but when he works overtime it makes it all week long and at least half the weekend as well. 
 
We just had some new neighbors move in and guess what...they have a daughter A.'s age!  Yay for friends!  As it turns out, z went to school with half of our neighborhood, including this girls mom.  I met her yesterday, she's nice.  A. went to her first young women's activity in our own neighborhood.  She liked it a lot.  Hopefully she can make friends there so she has some that live close enough to walk to their houses.
 
K. is as crazy as ever.  Last night when A. was gone, K. and I were playing tag.  It was a lot of fun but wore me out!  I think that our next door neighbor's have a girl her age if they ever get their house done. 

N. is cute as ever!  She acts like she's almost ready to sit up.  She's such a cutie.
 
And that's all I have time for, gotta get my job done here at work.  See you all later!

UTA all the way!!

Today was my first bus ride ever.  It wasn't so bad!  Thanks to my phone's GPS I was able to find the bus stop even faster than the normal way I would have taken.  I was 10 minutes earlier than the bus I was planning on taking so I got on, saw how crowded it was, found a seat, and people watched my way to work.  The bus nearly emptied when we got to the church office buildings.  Overall it was an enjoyable experience.  No fighting traffic, no swearing at people that cut you off; sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.  This will be my new way to work on Thursdays and Fridays at least.  I have a friend here at work that rides the same bus (although I didn't see her on mine this morning) who will show me where to catch the bus when it's time to leave.  How exciting, I know!  ;)
