My 5 random and/or weird facts about myself:

1) When I am in the car I always look at tag numbers. I will divide the numbers in my head. For example if it is 3AB696, I will divide 3 into 696. It is weird I know. I also hate personalized tags especially the ones that do not make sense to me.

2) When I was pregnant, washing the dishes made me gag.

3) I have to hang my clothes in order in my closet. Coats, then dresses, then skirts, jeans, long sleeved shirts, quarter-length sleeves, short sleeves, and then tank tops/sleeveless. I do the same thing with Hannah's clothes.

4) All of our exciting events have happened on the 23rd day of the month. We were married 10/23, found out we were expecting 12/23 (the year after we were married), and then Hannah was born 8/23.

5) I am scared of the dark and tight spaces. I would die if the power when out while I was on an elevator!!

Rings, Snow and Birthday Parties

I know, strange title. I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since I was about 5 months pregnant with Hannah. I try every once in a while to shove them on but they have been too tight. Well, Friday night I decided to try again and they went on!!! I was so excited. They are still a little tight but they will go on and off without too much trouble (or pain)! Josh said oh good we are finally married again! Goof-ball!

With all the prediction of the snow, I expected to wake up Saturday morning to a winter wonderland. Josh went hunting and Hannah got up at 5:45! I looked out the window and only saw rain. I was disappointed. Hannah & I piddled around the house, I got on the computer for an hour or so. When I went in the kitchen, I looked out the window and it was snowing!! It snowed pretty hard and we had a good dusting of snow. It was enough to play in. I bundled Hannah up and we went out to play. Hannah didn't really understand but she enjoyed being outside. She also enjoyed the fact that I let her eat it. We played outside for a good hour. By the time we walked around the yard a few times, it had turned to mush! So, we went back inside to watch Barney. Hannah fell asleep and I decided I was going to scrapbook a while. I love to scrapbook but I don't have much time. It is hard to drag everything out when Hannah is around because she will be grabbing and tearing. SHe is just so curious and can't stand to be left out of anything. So, I am behind on Hannah's scrapbooks. Hannah slept for a good 2 hours and I am caught up to 6 months old! Only 1 year left to catch up on! Oh well! Josh came home early from hunting. I made taco soup and we spent the rest of the night playing with Hannah. Until I got a craving for ice cream. We headed off to Dairy Queen for a strawberry chocolate covered waffle bowl! YUMMY! So much for my diet! Don't worry I am back on today!

Sunday night was Levi's birthday party! I think he had a good one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEVI!!!

Yesterday I went to buy groceries. While there I bought "The Biggest Loser" workout tape. I did the first level this morning and only 3 hours later I am already sore!!! I couldn't even do the whole thing! It was very challenging but I am looking forward to getting into shape!

This and That!

This week I have decided that it was time to get serious about loosing some of this baby weight! Everyone says you just had the baby but I think 17 months is too long to say that! LOL! Anyway, I have decided to write down what I eat every day. That helps because it is a little embarrassing to actually read what I have eaten - 10 Hershey kisses for breakfast sounds good at the time but sounds bad later. I have also been trying to exercise everyday. This has been a challenge for me. I have been doing Pilates. I like it a lot. The DVD I have has five 10 minute workouts. That works for me because some days I only have 10 minutes to spare! If I have a little more time I can do 2 or 3 of them. Anyway, I am seeing some results.

Hannah's new saying is "I want to watch Barney." She will repeat this until you put a DVD in for her to watch. As a matter of fact, as I type she is holding the cover to her Barney video saying "I want Barney!" Now she is quietly sitting in the recliner watching Barney. She needs some new Barney DVDs. So, I guess the Easter Bunny can bring a few videos. She also likes Curious George. She calls him "Gurge." It comes on at 5:00 pm and that is wonderful because she will sit in her highchair and watch it while I start dinner. THANK YOU PBS!! She only knows the characters on PBS because we are still in the dark ages and do not have cable. I don't complain. I watch enough television as it is and I don't have an extra bill every month.

Well I better get off the computer and get busy. Our retreat is this weekend and I have lots to do to prepare for it. They are saying it may snow 1-4 inches on Saturday. We may be snowed in at the camp, which I think would be fun. (for a little while anyway!) Maybe it won't be too bad! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
