Mom doesn't have this blog Handled!

Well crapola..
I really want to blog and be a blogger and my mind racing with all the things I want to blog about each day.
However I am lazy or tired or get to involved reading other people's blogs with the little spare time I do get.
I know its no big deal The only pressure is coming from me but man!!! I want to share with people and I want to discuss things. I am hoping to make it much more of a priority.
Alot to report- I have been very successful with my sweeps/contesting.
I won the $500 gift card to the Watters Creek shopping center and as we speak I am awaiting my check for being caller 93 on the new i93 here in the DFW area.. Its a huge format switch from Classic rock to ultra pop but I love it and it makes the day go by. If you are in the DFW area (or have a computer) then check out the station. 93.3 where the Bone was formerly. Online its i933hits.. they are having some good giveaways too and poor DJs.. I guess b/c they are newer they are going with that Caller 93 winner thing so they have to answer the phone like mad. But YAY! I am glad they did.
Had our 3rd wedding anniversary (which is also my momaversary).
I am sitting here debating getting nails. I have been debating it for about 2 months. I just want to have some splurge for myself thats genuine and makes me feel better about me.

Life is so awesome... just working to get organized, keep our heads WAY above the water, and stay sane.

Blogging more to come.

Manic Monday 9-14

I may have mentioned that I am a schitzo when it comes to things.. Well really its that I am L A Z Y....It's a great idea until it means really working.. like I want my house clean... I love couponing and saving money.... I like the IDEA of cooking meals for my family... I want to garden.... I want to BLOG and write.....
ummm I want to sit on the couch eating something watching fat people Dance their Ass off for six episodes in a row...... thats usually what wins... so my house is messy.. my coupons a paper mountain on the desk, my dinner plans.. umm a box of something... and my feeling in life.. overwhelmed, overspending (no coupons clipped after all and stopping on the run) and like I am NOT doing my best SuperMin!

So here in this blog will be my Baby Step plan... because I LOVE reading peoples blogs and every idea sounds so good I want to do them ALL of course. Then I end up doing NOTHING. I got the great deal on the nearly free Automatic Shower Cleaner at Wags last week.... its sitting waiting for me to clean the shower before hanging it!
I will set my mini goals for this week.. I will be reading around some organizational blogs... some cleaning ones... some cooking ones....I know all about FlyLady... LOVE her... however I always feel like its written for the Stay at Home Mom.. right out of the gate its about getting dressed every morning.. but I HAVE to get dressed to my shoes because I HAVE to go to work. So I will be Flying at a Modified level... What I like best about her is the Baby Steps.. its hard for a Schitzo Virgo to take baby steps... I am the Veruca Salt type really.. I WANT IT NOW.. I am however sweet and quite and meek so I don't shout it out shamelessly like Veruca... Ohh Dirty little secret.. I am Shallow and Selfish!
Goals for this week-
Clean shower in our bathroom
Do 1 load of laundry each day
Clip coupons and organize for Kroger sale starting Wed.
I'll keep us posted!

Pack your (Saddle)Bags!

Ohh I am tired of Fat Mama Drama-- its mostly my own drama. I lose weight, I gain weight, I plan food plans, I decide I need to make friends with my fat and not diet. I deny
However this weekend really I just realized me and my fat can't be friends. Yes I will not loathe myself for it but the truth is, I don't like visitors to my house and this fat is NOT welcome. I cannot be in denial about this situation. I am so lucky that my husband never says anything (well I guess he is actually the lucky one there... castration would soon follow) and he still wants to get it on etc...
I would like to live in a world where I wasn't made to feel like a second class citizen because of being fat... however we DO live in a shallow world and I see changes... but its a slow moving change.

So today I am going to keep track of my food again. My goal is to not eat over 1800 cals a day. I have lots of other things I want to try.. I am a lifetime dieter. I lost 120 pounds back in 2003-2004. I right now am on a steady upclimb.

This weekend we went to this kind of uptight hoity ass shopping center because I won a $500 gift card there... Whoo hooo YAY me. I am so grateful for it! However not one of the stores in it that sell womens clothes sell above size 18 and that was NY&Co.. so not a woman's 18.
It sucked to leave with some lotion from Bath and Body Works as my booty for the day when Sparky (the hubs) and Spazzy (DD) had a bounty of great stuff!!

So I am sort of a Schizo.. I get an idea and its sounds fab..then it's not as fab and I quit.
But I am actually a weight loss expert! I have been successful so many times.
Today I am taking that step towards success of keeping track of what I eat... Goodbye denial.. my sweet sweet friend!

My bloggy cherry pop!!!

Welcome to my blog.
I have been reading blogs since about February of this year and keep having the best intentions of really starting one. However I get a little crazy and my good intentions give way to distraction or the evil lure of a Biggest Loser Marathon (ohh you evil people how you suck me in).
I also see so many fabulous bloggers already out there who are so awesome to share their information and I think gee its sort of being done. But then I see the hundreds of other people doing it and think you know what Min, screw that! You want to do it, do it.. I have my own style and way with things....So here I am. Ready to rock the Blogosphere...I have some goals with the blog. I would like to share deals as it is one of the highlights of my existence..getting a good deal. I also want to share some things I am trying to undertake to make my life less hectic and will be posting up those experiements and trials here.

I am so excited and can't wait to share what I know. It will have to wait though because I need to get DD Hannah off to her 4th and final dance class of the week! I do want kudos for NOT drinking a nice celebratory its friday Vodka and SobeLife Water before taking her though.
My first tip---- low calorie yummy drinking- the Zero Caloire Sobe Life water (or Vitamin water 10 I am sure works as good).. Its a whole lotta yum...a hundred measly calories.
