A Night Out

Last night I went out for a friend's birthday.First we went to QDoba, which is a little Mexican grill. I had never been there before and the food was really good. There were about 5 of us that met up there.
After that we headed over to the club, where a few more people showed up. I'm not much of a drinker, beside the fact that I had to drive home. I only had 2 Raspberry Smirnoff's when we first got there at about 9:30 so I only ran up about a $10 tab (the waitress had a little portable credit card machine, which I thought was kinda cool).
We took a lot of pictures and had a great time. I even got to take a cupcake home for Mya, which she happily enjoyed for breakfast this morning.

Got His Job Back

About a month ago my dad found out that he was being laid off from his job. He is actually a building contractor, but with the terrible economy there haven't been too many people around here building or remodeling their houses, so he had to take a second job working in a factory with industrial supplies and things like that.

Thankfully, on Friday they called him back in, not only to return to work but to return in a supervisor position. I am so happy for him! He was the first one they called, which i know made him feel good, but they are also calling back most of the workers that had been laid off, which is great! I know that there are many people out that have been laid off for several months (or more) so I know he is grateful for this opportunity.

A Few More Pictures

Here are a few more photos of Mya and her cousin Sophia.....

Texas Roadhouse with Grandpa

Today was just a lazy day. Didn't really do much of anything. I spent some tine working online (part time transcription job) and looking up some fat burner pill that a friend of mine wanted some more info on. This afternoon my dad called and wanted to take Mya and I out for dinner. Mya just LOVES her grandpa so she was really excited. We ended up going to Texas roadhouse. I had never been there before and I have to say that it was really good. Mya apparently thought so too...after her 2 mini cheeseburgers, applesauce and 3 (yes, I said 3) dinner rolls, i think she actually ate more than I did!

I Dropped The Paint!!

It has been a rough day today! My 3 yr old niece came over this afternoon and I decided to put her and Mya down for a nap. I usually put them in the same room but lately they have spent more time talking than sleeping so I put my niece in my bedroom. After laying them both down I went down to the kitchen to make myself some lunch. I had only been down there about 5 minutes when I heard, "Uh oh! I dropped the paint!" coming from my room. I ran up there and opened the door to see my niece sitting there with what looked like blood on her hand. As I got closer, however, I discovered that it was nail polish. Apparently had gotten into my night stand, found the jar of nail polish and decided to paint the furniture, the bed, and even herself. Somehow she even manages to splatter some of it on the walls and even up towards the ceiling and on the tv mount What a mess!!!!

Dollar Store Goodies

For some reason, one of Mya's favorite things to do is to take a trip with Mommy to the Dollar Store. I think it is because I usually let her pick out some kind of a treat for herself. Usually she chooses a book or some stickers, or maybe even some crayons. Today we found a really cute custom water bottle. They had about 50 different girls names available and for once we were able to find her name!! The water bottle will come in handy when we go to Disney World next month!

Weight Loss Pills

The weather has been a little cold and rainy over the past few days, so I really haven't been able to get outside to walk, but I have still been good about sticking to my diet. I really need to get to the grocery store and do some healthy food shopping before I start getting lazy and going out for fast food. That is definitely one of my weaknesses. A friend of mine was telling me that after reading some weight loss pill reviews she has started taking Alli. She has been taking it for about a month now and she has not lost any weight, but she hasn't gained any either. As for me, I have lost another 2 lbs this week!

Making Some Changes

Now that Spring is here, I am really trying to lose some of this excess weight I have put on recently. I have changed my diet, started working out regularly, and have started taking some nutritional health supplements. It has been 2 weeks now and I have already lost 6 lbs. I still have a long way to go but I am determined an confident that I will reach my goal.

She Loves To Paint

I just realized that it has been awhile since I posted. I haven't been on the net much lately. I actually was only on now to look up info for my niece on some treatments for acne. With the nice weather we have been having, Mya and I have been spending a lot more time outside. Today I took her easel/chalkboard outside so she was able to draw and paint (which she loves) and enjoy the sunshine at the same time.
