thursdays thoughts...

I have been so absent from the blogging world that I probably don't have any followers anymore! well for those of you that are die hard brown blog followers (my sister) here's what is on my mind today.

•    signed up for a 3 hour spin class. super excited about it. still thinking about taking my own bike and trainer (well Q's bike) since my fanny likes that seat better. i figure that if i am going to be sitting on it for 3 hours it should have a say right?
•  this giving up treats thing is not as easy as i want it it to be. when i went into the gas station for a diet coke i found myself walking very S.L.O.W.L.Y. by the donut case. OH MY they smelled SO GOOD!!! didn't buy one. HURRAY ME!
• speaking of diet coke i am limiting myself to three a week. in know i should just get rid of it all together but i LOVE it way to much and i would fail so "limiting" works much better for me.
• my computer has been hacked into so we are having it fixed. therefore no photos of the cute crafts that i have been working on. thanks eighteen 25 for the cute ideas:)
• broke my tooth on a sunday and Dr. Leishman met me at his office that day to fix it. LOVE that guy.
• during FHE josh was giving a lesson on how families are like a team and we have to work together to make things happen. kena raised her hand and said,"are peoples butts made out of fat or muscle? I am just wondering." what the heck??
• abbie put in her very own site yesterday!!! this is the big shot she has to get every couple of days. this is HUGE. giving yourself a shot is rough so this was a great accomplishment. way to go abbie!
• went to the school to check on abbie and when i walked into her classroom it smelled like poo and glue. NASTY!! one of the things i don't miss about teaching;)
