Time to get in shape

Okay, so it is definitely past time to get into shape. Between carrying children and type two diabetes, I have put on weight that I cannot seem to drop without more exercise than I am currently getting. I am going to use kettler fitness equipment to help me lose the weight I need gone. It really shouldn’t take very long to achieve and with any luck I can get rid of a lot of it before summer ends. It would be nice to be able to look a little better in my bathing suits.

My man says that the rowing machines would be my best bet. I have bad hips and this way it will not aggravate them. I certainly hope so. I am going to talk to my doctor first, before I actually buy anything. This way he can let me know what he thinks is best as well. wish me luck everyone.

Backing up files

This takes so long, and takes so many discs to do. I have to throw out all the old ones, because there are so many from doing it over the years. I estimate that between the three computers, this will take most of the day to do. I will have to stay near them to make sure I don’t miss the prompts when it is time to put a new disc in. Blah…going to be a boring day.

Doing the hotel orders again

I have a cousin who owns his own hotel. Since his wife died, I help him out by doing inventory and ordering all of the Hotel Supplies & catering supplies and book keeping. He does all of his own maintenance himself and that keeps him really busy, so he needs a little help from the family every now and then. It is not that difficult to do and doesn’t take much of my time. I am always ready to help when it comes to my family. The Hotel Supply company is online and easy to order from.

PeachSuite Wholesale Hotel & Restaurant Supplier makes everything easy to find as well. Most of the inventory is towels and such, only a few things come from the restaurant portion of the business. It is a really cute hotel, nestled in the hills right outside of the little town we live in. I love the view because it is very picturesque and the guests all love it as well.

Hot

I cannot believe the heat this week. It’s supposed to get up to 105 degree’s this weekend. That is hot. We don’t usually have heat like this, but this year looks like it is going to soar. Most times it only gets really hot during August, it is especially odd for June. Yesterday the weather was mild and the change is going to be drastic. It will definitely be a “do something in the water” weekend. I guess we will go to the river or down to the creek to keep cool.

Oh boy

It’s time to buy a new amp head for my guitar amplifier. They tend to be a bit pricey, but I have to have it. I love to play my guitar and I always buy Bogner when I get stuff for my guitar. It is my baby and I have to get the very best so I have the very best sound possible. My kids just love to hear my play as well and I like to make them happy.

Fire roasted veggies

I love to fire roast my veggies before I put them into the sauce when I make spaghetti.I am making home made from scratch spaghetti tomorrow and need to make a trip to the store for my fresh veggies. I will put in onion, mushrooms, pepper, garlic and zucchini. It is going to be amazing. I haven’t made a home made sauce in a while, so I thought it was about time. Everyone loves it when I do, but it sure does take a lot of planning.

It’s lovely

Oh it is so lovely. I found the prettiest vessel sink. It is all rainbow colored and kind of clear too. I am going to redo my bathroom in the master bedroom. I need something different. I found it on www.edenbath.com. I am going to use a rainbow colored glass motif throughout the bathroom and make it a cheery place to relax when I want to take a leisurely bath. I love taking baths. I put bubbles or oil in it and just soak away my stress.

I can’t wait to show this off to my mom. She always likes to see what I am doing in fixing up my home. A lot of times we will collaborate on projects as she is redoing the old homestead as well. Our tastes run alike when it comes to the houses and we are always asking what each other thinks about something before we do it. Consequently we have some similarities, but not all.

One heck of a week

It’s been one heck of a week. Anything that could go wrong pretty much has in a big way. I wont go into details, but suffice it to say, it was definitely the worst week ever. It occurs to me that another chapter in my life in coming to a close. That is depressing and I have a hard time keeping from crying, but I can’t because the kids need me to be strong. Sometimes I really get tired of being strong for every one else. I have no choice though. It is what it is.

Olympics

I was just invited to the Summer Olympics in London. I am so excited. I talked to my mom and she has agreed to keep the kids for two weeks so that I can go. Who could turn down and all expense paid trip to London. My best friend is taking me with her parents. They rented London Apartments for various family members and when someone who was already paid for couldn’t go, I got the tickets. This is going to be amazing. The London Apartments they rented are centrally located so that we will be in thick of everything we want to do.

It was really smart of them to do this the way they did. Almost her whole family is going, so that is why they rented London Apartments. It is cheaper all the way around and the hotels were all full so this worked out great. I know that we are going to have a blast. I will be so happy to see all of the places that I have read about in the history books and novels. I know that I am going to want to go back again some day too.

Having a blast

I love summer. We always have so much fun. The kids and I have been to the creek a few times already and the movies to see Avengers in 3D. The movie was awesome and the creek was just as much fun. They just love the rope swing that is there and catching cray fish as well. We brought home a bunch and put them into a fish tank but they didn’t survive. Now they have to release them when they catch them, because I don’t want to take them home just to die later. The kids wont eat them so that is the rules now. I hope everyone has a great day.
