Not To Be...yet!

Krista of course has not gotten a bike helmet yet. She thinks she will look like a dork. Everyone does but everyone still wears one! What kind of example is she setting for her children?! Please help me in my pledge to help Krista get a helmet.
Post your comments here or feel free to click on her blog's link to post a comment on her page. Whatever you think will be more annoying for her. Maybe both!
If you check out her page, you will see pictures of her beautiful smiling children. They won't be so smiley when mom's laying on the couch all day because she hurt herself riding her scooter. The Miller Lites flying out of the basket alone could be enough to lay her up for a week!
Te he!

To Be or Not To Be?

Will Krista have a bike helmet on her head tonight?
Cast your vote!
Results will be posted tomorrow morning.

Paper Flier

You would think with how long I have been in the corporate office field, I would have used a paper folder at some point. Nope!
Have you ever used one? They really are quite handy after you figure out you have to stop the paper from shooting out and flying all over the floor! I literally had about 100 folded letters laying all over the floor! They shoot out so fast! And make this little muffled gun shot sound. It was a little terrifying!
Guess I didn't have to be so careful about keeping them in order with the envelopes while I was signing them all!

Outdoor to Indoor Sports

Yup, summer is definitely ending! Our softball league is done and Heather has asked me to be on her bowling league. It is on the same night softball was, which is Tuesday, so it works out perfect because Kevin works until 8:00 anyway.
Our team is going to be:
Heather
Melissa (her sister, my sister-in-law)
Dona (their mom)
Me
And someone else, not sure yet who that will be.
Anyway, Heather sent me a text message this morning telling me to ask Melissa what our bowling team name was going to be and mentioned that I was going to love it....it is "Can't Touch This". Come on! I can't do that! There was got to be something better out there right?
Any suggestions?

Amanda's Trip to MI

Here are just a few photos from Amanda's visit to Michigan last week.

The first one is a picture of me apparently being really happy hanging out with my brother!

The next one is of Amanda and me!

I will post some more later...

Princess

Last night when Krista came over for our Monday nights, I showed her my new bike helmet. The deal was that if I got one, she would get one. Now of course she is saying she said she would only get one if her momma paid for it. Seriously, she fell off a scooter. Don't you think she needs a helmet?!
Anyway, I was explaining how I bought it at Target and that they had all these bright girly colors that I liked but I ended up buying the silver one because the other ones didn't match my bike. She burst out laughing! My bike is a dark teal so why would I buy a bright baby blue helmet? Shouldn't it match if possible? Or at the very least, not clash?!
Let me know your thoughts.
ps. Thanks Krista for staying so late last night!

Amanda

Ok, so I know I have posted a million times already today but here is one more:
Amanda, my friend, also my sister-in-law's sister from Colorado, was out here for a week for her mom's birthday. It was so great! We haven't seen her since Thanksgiving. We hung out on Friday, Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday! And then to my happy surprise, her flight got canceled on Friday so I picked her up at her dad's at 11:00 and she came over and hung out until 3:00! Long night but it was so great! Kevin and the kids went to bed so we had some time to just chat!
Unfortunately her flight was on time on Saturday and I already miss her!
Hopefully I will post some pictures of our week soon...

Employee Picnic

There has been a request to know about the employee picnic on Friday. I personally had a great time. I sold 50 / 50 raffle tickets so everyone liked me! It was really hot though and I was out there for the whole two hours. The band that played was awesome! I knew every song and it was just good music. They are playing at Bite this weekend if anyone is interested.

And just like I thought, free food and music during work hours is always a guaranteed good time!

Woot woot!

About 3 or 4 years ago, my mom was kind enough (and maybe a little mean enough) to buy this 6 week body makeover for me. I have tried it 2 or 3 times and have never made it through the second week.
Today is the start of my second week. I still feel very motivated to continue, Kevin measured me and I have lost inches in several different areas and I have lost 6 lbs! I know I won't consistently drop that much every week but I would still be thrilled with 1-2 lbs a week. It keeps up the motivation for sure!
Also, I get rewards every week for my weight loss. This week is a new headband (I am easily amused!) and after 6 weeks, I get a digital camera!
I think I will start posting pictures every couple of weeks and we will see if anyone notices a difference. Kevin swears he can tell but I haven't yet. That is ok.
Have a good day!

So I am not sure what it is about the van but this morning I has turning onto Eastern and completely ran over the curb. I didn't just hit it, I ran over it. I looked behind me and realized that Pat, a lady I work with, and her daughter were right behind me. Nice!
They were in the kitchen later so I asked if they saw me run over the curb and Pat said, "Was that you?! We did see that and I said to Jenna, "Oh that was good."" Super nice!
Oh well.
This afternoon is our employee picnic and I think I am the only one excited about it. Makes me worry....
How can it not be fun though? There is a band, free food and prizes! During work hours!!

Here we go!

Thank you Krista for getting me started in the blog world! You really are young and cool!
So I guess if I am blogging, I should talk about my days huh?
Here is a great one:

Monday while I was at work, I was walking up the stairs and totally bit it. Right onto my stomach. And of course there was someone standing at the top of the stairs. As I lay there, I was thinking about how I can't believe it took 3 weeks for me to do something like that. Well at least it is over right?! Ha ha! I realized that was not the case when I went to the bathroom later and realized I had toilet paper hanging out my backend ! SWEET!
