I Love the Holidays and a Bunch of Randomness

I am hoping to get back up to speed over this break. Chris has the week off and I am so excited about that. We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner here on Friday for his family. I am looking forward to it.

Big news....

....no not that.

I have been keeping my house clean. Everyday. For almost a month. It's so nice. I don't know what happened really. I just finally got control. I still have my problem areas: my closet and my laundry room, but overall it's clean. I have had time to work on organizing things and keeping myself in line. I have our home maintenance plan posted on the refrigerator. I have been able to do this without sacrificing my time with my children and I feel like my home reflects who I am now. I feel like I can breathe in it. I keep saying I, but I have to give Chris a lot of credit. He is a huge help. He is also good just to do what I ask him to do.

I am excited about putting up our tree and watching my favorite Christmas movie of all time...Home Alone.

Chris and I had a great day. The kids spent the afternoon and evening with Maimee and PawPaw. We cleaned out the laundry room and the garage and then had dinner at Red Robin and saw Couples Retreat with Connie and Levi. I thought the movie was quite funny. We so enjoyed getting out.

I have still been working out. Angela's Bootcamp has been awesome. I have made it back to my pre-Riley weight and I think I'd be content if I lost just 8 more pounds. I think next month Chris and I are going to start up P90X again.

Connie and I have been working away on Urge. We have been all over the place deciding the fate of the everchanging plot and I think we are finally there. Lots of writing to do now.

I am looking forward to seeing New Moon.

That's all for now.

Your summary was much more to the point than my very long-nobody-will-actually-read-the-whole-thing posts.

We had fun too! I'm still full. Vince Vaughn=Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!
