Hello all,
2009 is almost over. I swear this year went by so fast... so much faster than any other year I can remember. Is it because I'm getting older? Is it because my life has no routine so the days just fly? Or is it because I'm always planning ahead? Who knows...
I'm glad to say I've had my Christmas Shopping done for quite sometime now. I always have a goal to get it done before Turkey Day. It doesn't always happen, but I can't stand the crowds and bad attitudes as Christmas get closer and closer.
Ben and I are headed to MA for Christmas. We are hitching a ride with Santa on Christmas eve about 1130pm. and he's dropping us off in Boston at around 5am. And yes, my wonderful parents are driving 2 hours to Boston on Christmas Morning to pick us up at 5am! Aren't they wonderful! Merry Christmas huh? God also provided doggie sitters for us. God bless Bethany and Joel!
Since the summer I have been having problems with my Right eye - specifically Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis. This now means I can no longer wear contact lenses. I have been wearing them since 7th grade. And for those of you who know how I feel about my eyes.. you know this is a terrible disappointment. I have to wear glasses now :( I am petrified of anyone getting near my eyes, but that Lasik Surgery is looking better and better! So.... My old old old old pair of glasses is alright for now, but I'm gonna have to take the plunge soon and buy new ones if i'm gonna have to wear glasses FOREVER now... sigh..
As for weight... I'm turning 30 next September and on my 29th b-day I just didn't like where I was. I felt out of control with my eating and I was using food as a comfort, a warmer, bordem buster... I tried to "diet", but that lasted one meal. So I decieded to join Weight Watchers. Since Oct 1 I have lost 10.5 lbs. WOOHOO. I feel better about myself. My clothes fit better. I feel in control and satisfied with my new eating habits. PLUS When I reach my goal (Hopefully in Feb or March) Ben said I can reward myself with a new wardorbe from my favorite store... THE LIMITED!! What a modivator, let me tell you. Isn't my husband wonerful?!? So pray for me if you think about it. It is really hard to stay on track with all this holiday candy, pies, parties, cookies, ect...
Blessings,
J
