I apologize for my lack of updating lately! I've been really busy setting up my Pampered Chef stuff. I'm hosting my first Cooking Show this weekend! So, if you're in my area come on by! :)
Aside from Pampered Chef, not too much has been going on. Baby fever is still in full swing, though! This past Saturday I went to my friend Caraline's baby shower and there were seven pregnant ladies there! They all lined up for a picture and we barely got them in it. It was so cute! haha! Also, last night I had to go to my recruiter's house to watch her host a show. There was a 21 month old there and her name was Clara. Isn't that beautiful? When you would ask her what her name was, she'd say "Cwawa". She and I took to one another instantly. She would come cuddle up in my lap or get me to pick her up. That definitely didn't help the baby fever! :)
The diet is completely non-existent now. :( I'm pretty upset and disappointed in myself, but I'm not giving up just yet. I'm just extremely stressed right now and have so much on my mind, that I can't really count calories and make sure I drink so many ounces of water. I'm hoping to get back on track in the next couple of weeks! Wish me luck!
As far as Pampered Chef goes, I have two catalog orders out right now, as well as two parties booked! My business cards and stamp come in today, so I'm all set to go. I'm really excited, but nervous about this. I know the economy is rough right now, so a lot of people can't afford the extra luxuries. I just keep telling myself there isn't a lot of money invested in this and that once I make my money back, I have nothing to lose. I'm going to work hard but enjoy this. Plus, getting all the freebies consultants get are quite nice! ;)
I hope you ladies are doing well out there! :)

Weigh-In Wednesday
For those of you who were following my Weight Loss blog know that Wednesdays are my day to weigh-in. Well, I weighed this morning and I'm up not even half a pound.While that isn't a bad thing, it certainly isn't a good thing. I'm ready to start losing again! I've decided to set myself a week to week goal. I'm going to lose three pounds a week. I've already lost 15 pounds out of my goal of 40. That's 25 to go and if I do three pounds a week, I should reach my goal within the next two months. Let's hope it goes well! :)
As I've said before, I'm not the most religious person out there. I wasn't raised in church, but I did attend for several years while in high school. Sometimes I find it hard to just turn it all over to God and let His will be done. It wasn't ingrained in me to do so. I know I should, but it's just hard to let control go. I was thinking of my current job/financial situation the other day and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm where God wants me right now. There's always a plan and it is always what He has planned for me, not what I have planned for me. Now, this doesn't mean I'm going to stop working toward my goal of becoming a teacher and being financially secure, but I'm going about it with a different view now. When something doesn't work out, I'm not gonna go all "woe is me" anymore. I'm going to shrug it off and just keep trying!
The ladies over a BonBon Rose Girls just wrapped up their latest give away. It's a $25 gift certificate from an online store called Ruche. I was browsing the site and found the prettiest scarf! I've been in the market for a scart lately, but I can't ever find one I really like.
You ladies definitely need to head over that way and check out that site. You'll find some really pretty stuff! :)
It's rainy here in Virginia today...the perfect napping weather. Hope you guys are having a great day! :)

Hello, Friday! :)
This week has flown by, but I'm so glad it's Friday! I've been so tired this week. I have to force myself out of bed every morning. I'm sure I look like a zombie moving around our apartment. One morning I even fell over! I don't have anything too exciting to do tonight, except clean. I have a busy weekend ahead of me, so I'm getting that out of the way tonight. You guys have anything fun planned?
Yesterday's meeting with Teresa went really well! I'm excited to start, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to. I'm hoping to get signed up by the end of the month because they're having a promotion for new consultants right now! I'm really looking forward to it though!
I deleted my Weight Loss blog. I'm still on my diet and doing quite well (this week, anyway). I just got bored with it because I was saying the same things over and over. I will just keep up with it through this one. :)
Well, that's all for now. I was a little bored, so I thought I'd upate! :)
Make it a great day!

Why, Hello 2010!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a fun, safe night ringing in the New Year. My poor Vols lost, but hey, it was expected! Other than that, I had a great night of good food, drinks, guitar hero and even greater friends!
As I stated before, I'm extremely excited about what 2010 has to offer. I really do have a lot I want to accomplish this year. First, I've decided I want to go back to school to get my Master's in History. I've contacted the school I was accepted to last year, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm hoping I won't have to reapply and all that jazz. Second, I will lose weight. I've decided I'm going to count calories. That seems the easiest way for me. I found a website that said to achieve my goal weight, I need 1991.6 calories day. Dang! I was excited over that fact. I don't like to starve. So, I've decided I'm going to bring it down to 1500 calories a day. That's still plenty for me to eat. I also want to do "The Shred" DVD that my friend Erica let me borrow. Hopefully me and my poor back can get through it! Third, I will become Martha Stewart. I've done quite well cooking and cleaning since 2010 has begun, so I'm hoping this will stick!
A lot of fun things are happening this year! Emma will celebrate her first birthday in August and Kevin and I will celebrate our first anniversary!
However, the one thing I'm extremely excited over is the fact that Whit and I will finally be able to meet our older sisters! My dad was married before he met my mom and they had two daughters: Andrea and Christina. My whole life I've wanted to meet them, to get to know them and have them in my life. Well, in November I found them on Facebook (woohoo!) and we've been in constant contact since. They live in California and I think they're planning a trip out here in July! Then, Whit and I mentioned going out there in the Fall. I'm hoping it works out. I'm dying to meet them in person! My oldest sister, Andrea, has one son who looks exactly like my dad! Its so neat! Then, there's Christina, who has a fifteen year old and a three year old daughter and a two year old son. I was really excited to see that I have two more nieces and two nephews! And they're all precious! So, now, I have three nieces and two nephews. :) Plus, Kevin's niece and nephew. I'm one proud Auntie. :)
I've also started a weight loss blog, here, soley for me to keep up with my weight loss. Hopefully it'll help me keep motivated with it!
Until next time, so long! :)
