Thinking about making a huge batch of tamales this weekend! I have never made them before! It is going to be interesing! Looks like the recipe that I got from off line makes quite a few! I hope that the hubby will enjoy them! I plan on making some other items this weekend! Don't know why but I feel like stocking my freezer with dinners for this winter!
I hear that this is supposed to be one of the worst winters in like 50 years! We have already gotten temps in the 20s! Yeah it was cold! We actually had to start a fire this week to warm up the house! - we have a rule to not start a fire until it gets below 60 degrees. Well it hit below 60 this weekend! I didn't want to start the first fire - rick had just swept the chimney! But the house was warm on the night that He started a fire! I went 2 nights with really cold temps in the house before I got a fire! I was so happy to have a fire!

This one is for Chad my bro.. Kind of
So this weekend (fri sat and sun)... on Friday I went to my parents house to have a sewing day with Meredith and My mum. I ended up making a dress into a shirt. I have not completed it as of yet but I'm working on it. I also had to go to the insurance company and tell them that Rick and I are married and we should be getting a pretty good discount on that. I ended up getting home at like 6:30pm My poor boys were hungary... Oops Sorry. Fixed something for dinner!
Saturday morning Got Rick out the door for Hunting, went back to sleep for a while got up and got ready for the day. Got Andrew up and ready for the day and went to his Football game (flag football). Then went home and made dinner chicken Broccoli deal that i put into a puff pastry! (note to self better when first cooked not the greatest warmed up) Rick and Andrew didn't get home till 9:30 I was already in bed!
Sunday morning I get up 5:30 ish and make Andrew and Rick lunches for Hunting. get them out the door and go back to bed! Later when I woke up i ended up going to Bellingham to get some shopping done! Got home and made some BREAD (chad this is for you). I made Challah bread and a buttery pull a part bread! I was so amazed at the way the bread looked! Rick was happy about having homemade bread. I also made some sugar cookies (not the greatest rec. ever) and I will not make them again.
After Friday I want to make jeans for myself and dresses as well!.
After Sunday I want to make bread and freeze it so that we can have it whenever we want it!
So Chad! I made bread and wanted to ask you a question about adding herbs and spices into the dough! I never did call but I will the next time I plan on making bread! Love ya Bro and miss ya tons!

Weight UGH
So I have decided that a lot of my issues with being tired and having difficulties with myself are from feeling over weight! I am going to do something about it! At least I am hoping to do something about it.
This week I am going to write down what I eat and why I am eating it. What the emotions behind it are. After I do that I am only going to eat when I am hungary and I am going to stop when I am full. I also what to start the NO S Diet. No sugar, no snacks and no seconds (except on days that start with S).
So do you think that I can do it? I really am hoping that I can do this!
I also want to get a new Ipod (rick has hijacked mine and I really don't care I would just like to listen to some music and listen to some Podcasts) So I can down load some really up beat workout music and some Podcasts.
Another thing that I have learned about wanting to lose weight - it has nothing to do with exercise really it has to do with what you are eating and how much you are eating. We Americans have become too involved with food and we tend to take it too far. Look back like 50+ years and what people did for their meals! Meals are ment for 3 times a day! Eat a big breakast, a medium lunch and a small dinner that will last you the evening. Me I am trying not to eat past a certain hour of the day! I have chosen 7 pm 2 hours before bed time - so that my food has time to settle and I have time to either read a book or start on a sewing project. I don't just want to sit around and do nothing because if I do then I will just want to eat something.
I need to find a hobby or projects to work on the the evening. I have sewing and reading. It is now too dark at night to go for a walk (I don't like Night in my neighborhood + I'm afraid of what is in the dark). Any suggestions?

TIRED
So lately I have been so tired! Really it has been for like a month! Yeah it sucks! No matter what I do or how early I got to bed I am just tired! I am trying not to "be tired" But there is only so much that I can do! I get so upset because I am so tried! A lot of the time I will get upset over nothing. I also have been trying to stay away from the phone (now that I have found it).

BLURP...
So this week I have realized that I am not a very happy joyful person! Sad I know! I want to be a happy joyful person. I don't know when I changed from being happy and joyful to being a grump and crabby.
I am going to work on that! I also want to work on many other things, but I think tha being happy will help me work and be better on the other things!
Any one have any pointers on how to be happy? One thing that I'm going to try is play soccer again. In the last few weeks (month and a half) I have been watching Andrew play football and it makes me so much miss playing soccer. I remember being happy when I played. Now it is just trying to find a team to play on!

Todays blog is not going to be a too happy of a blog! Even thought there will be some good/fun times about this weekend the news that we got on Thrusday was just SUCKY!
Thursday night Rick ended up working late... 7pm late. Yeah it sucked. Well when we got home He checked his email...(waiting to hear from BP) And he got an email.... Well he didn't get the job. Now we wait until next year! Yeah it really sucks! and he is off of work this week. My thought is right now we are getting by and don't really need it. When the right time comes we will get it.
Friday we went up Bear Hunting! We saw a Bear! It was wild and looked big! Rick took a shot at it and couldn't find it when he went down into the clearing! Yeah the clearing was pretty steep! I really didnt want to climb down into it. I went part of the way! It makes me really want to get the hunting course under my belt so I can go and hunt for myself! It will take some practice.
Saturday I went out to my Parents house! Rick went up hunting again and saw nothing! While I was at my parents house I started working on a project with my dad! In the house that they got in Birchbay the previous owners had left some furniture. Well there just happended to be a hutch/hope chest. I have been wanting one for a long time! My dad was going to refinish it and give it to me for christmas but my mum said that I might want to help out in refinishing it! Oh and it is so beautiful! I am so excited about it! We didn't get much done on it but I will be going back and working on it from time to time!
Sunday! Sunday was a good day! We slept in. Went to the Gun and knife show in Lynden, then went to Walmart... they didn't have what we wanted.... the we went to Yeagers!... That is a dangerous store to go to! Rick could spend a forturne there (well so could I). Rick found a gun that he likes and He will be getting it at some point and time! After Yeagers we went into KMart! WOW that was a fun trip! I laughed at Ricky so hard! I love him so much!
That is what my weekend consisted of! I hope that this week is just as fun... That is with out any more bad news!

Long time no blog
Sorry! I've been busy! Almost married for 3 months and I have a ton of things that I want to do!
Lately my biggest thing that I want to do is make clothing! I am having a bit of trouble trying to find old sheets and that sort of thing to make things my size! (I want to test it out first). I have some really cute dress/skirt and shirt patterns that I got from burdastyle.com. I have been doing some research on other things that I would like to make as well.
Next weekend I plan on going and having a sewing day with Meredith and my Mum.... I have a bag of clothing that I planned on never wearing again, I think that I will just revamp all of them so that I will wear them again! I am going to make a dress in to a skirt, a different dress into a cute tank top, and maybe some other things! Not sure yet! I may even make a skirt from scratch! Depends on if my wonderful husband will let me by material this weekend or not!
I am also planning on painting the living room and making covers for the couches, maybe even making some selves for in the kitchen.. too may things cluttering my counters! So... Many projects to come! Hopefully pictures to come as well.
On other notes! Andrew is doing well in school! He is so smart that he gets in trouble for distracting other kids. He is also in football! That may have been a bad idea! But so far once he is at practice or in the game he loves it! Ricky has applied for a job at BP in the general shop. Right now he has made it to the test. He took that on Saturday! We are waiting the results on that one (Please pray that he gets it). We have been wanting this for 3 years now! We are hoping that with all the people that we are talking to that his name is out there and he gets it. Other than that it is Hunting season again. right now it is Bear season.... Next weekend as in the 16th Deer season opens! We are hoping that he gets both. It would be nice to get all that meat in the freezer!
My job is going good right now! I may only have 1 month left! It all depends on the Diesel Unit Project! That should be getting awarded today! I most likely will not find out until Monday. That job should keep me busy for 2 years if they keep me on out here!
Rick is thinking playing football for the Bellingham Bulldogs! I want to look in to playing soccer again! (anyone with any pointers on how to get on a team? let me know...)
