project 365...day 9..

baby day! yippee yi yo!!! my nephew, todd (who calls me on it if i don't update my blog DAILY! :))and his dear wife, colleen welcomed sweet emily to the world today at 2:18 pm! she is beautiful!! once i get the go-ahead from them, i will post pictures. in light of the tragic events of this week here in lynden, she is a breath of fresh air. even in the midst of hurt and death, there is still a promise of new life. it's true, 'the Lord gives and the Lord takes away'. in all of it, He's still good. we are so glad that you are part of our family emily. i haven't even met you and i love you already.
ok, i did the Jillian video as promised. someone PLEASE tell me that it's NORMAL that i can't bend down to tie my shoes OR carry my dirty laundry(darn)OR be able to lift my arm while washing my hair OR hoofing it up the stairs at record speeds...and PLEASE tell me tomorrow will be better! i'm not asking to be a marathon runner or even make it thru ONE morning of Bootcamp at Homestead but honestly, i WANT to stick with this. in my heart (or la-la land) i'm an athlete! (STOP laughing).what am i missing??? please tell me, what's the secret to sticking with it?
share.
please share.
because if tomorrow morning, i struggle getting out of my chair, i just may throw in the 'i'm getting a smaller butt this year' towel. after all, i'm getting old anyway, in the big scheme of life, does it matter? my hub loves me. i love me.
yup,there's always next year.....

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to an all-knowing God.

hot diggity dog. it's friday.
9:24 and i've accomplish nothing except for checking my email, blog stalking,drinking 2 cups of coffee & watching TWO episodes of 'say yes to the dress'. i'm putting off the inevitable, the work-out, the shower, the begin of the day....
ok, i'm needing a new quote. something to add to the picture that i'm going to be changing at the top of my blog. new year. new 'something that defines our family' quote. help me out people....

day 7....

i'm about to go into denial. did i really think i could do this journalling thing for 365 days???? i'm ending on day seven with very little to say.
uneventfully.
milly and i mad a trip to bellingham. walmart first. then i dropped her at costco since i was there yesterday blowing thru my food budget. i headed over to Joanns to try and pick out fabric for my new curtains.
picked up milly.
went home.
attempted to start the Jillian dvd. i'm scared that she'll yell at me. really, she freaks me out and yet, i still buy it because if my body can look half as good as hers do, she'll be my leader. i'll follow. that is until she makes me cry...THEN....who knows...maybe its my destiny to have gooey thighs. maybe i shouldn't mess with the way God made me.....uummm. the excuses are running rapid in my mind so....tomorrow,i'll do it...i'll do it...I'LL DO IT!!
ANYONE IN WITH ME???
