New Year...the sickies and a new addiction!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

I planned on writing a "New Years" post on the 31st but Jeff finally decided to go to the Dr. after a month of feeling bad off and on...so that is how we spent our New Years Eve...at the Dr. and getting his meds... turns out he has a really bad contagious sinus infection...his nasal passages are blocked and swollen...the Dr. said he don't see how he can breathe....and he also has a kidney infection.... My poor babe is not feeling good at all! Please send good thoughts, vibes, prayers his way...Thanks!

After all of that, since we wasn't going to be bringing in the New Year...drinking a few cold ones...as we had planned...we decided to go out to eat at Cracker Barrel with the gift card his mom gave us for Christmas... that place was packed too! Jeff told me on the way home I could go on and drink if I wanted...but I'm more of a social drinker...it's no fun drinking alone...lol We came home....Jeff took his meds...and we lounged on the couch watching tv....no sooner than I curled up in a blanket...I was out...and I had at least planned to stay away to see the ball drop... ::sigh::

All I remember is Jeff waking me up at 11pm on the couch...telling me to go to bed...and as I walked down the hallway barely able to open my eyes I thought to myself "Do I want to stay awake just one hour to ring in the New Year"....and as I climbed into bed and my head hit the pillow...I got my answer.... Nahhhh! haha Damn am I getting old or what? Can't even live it up on New Years Eve anymore...lol If we had been out and about doing something that would be different....but lounging around the house makes me lazy and sleepy!

I only have one New Years Resolution...the same one I start every year...and in time....I always seem to fail....to lose weight.
Last year I did so well...was working out at work ...and enjoying it so much that we bought our own treadmill....I did really well and lost 18 lbs....but once spring/summer 08' got here...I started sinking into my old habits again...and little by little gained most of it back....

This weekend I will be cleaning off the treadmill....it has worked as a wonderful clothes hanger for quite some time..lol
Monday Jeff and I both are gonna start walking again....I am hoping to walk at least 3x a week...20 mins a day starting out....and hope to work myself up to 3x a week 40 mins a day....and so on.... I'm going to do what I did last year and eat my normal foods...but less of it...that really helped me...because in eating my normal foods I didn't feel deprived...but portion control is really what helped me keep off those unwanted pounds...and of course the walking helped tons...and I felt so much better!

So here's to a "Healthier" 2009!!!! *Cheers*

I have a new addiction I must confess.....

I've been a bad....bad girl!

Walgreens Photo Center...you are to blame! lmao

I'm one of those people who take tons and tons of pics...upload them on my computer and don't develop them...same with my 35mm rolls...I have about 20 needing to be developed! I am terrible people!

So about a month ago I thought I would check it out to see how much it would cost to get a few pics developed online from time to time...

Well whatdoyaknow...Walgreens was having a sale 10 cents a print...compared to 29 cents a print....

I've been thinking for awhile now that my computer will crash and die at any given moment...not sure why...just have that feeling....cause occasionally I will get that blue screen and it will say it has recovered from a serious error...but it always works like a charm afterwards...lol So in thinking my computer might go kaput soon....I think to myself how awful it would be if I lost all my precious pictures and memories I have stored on here over the years.... I wanted to get them all on cds myself to I would at least have them...and although my cousin says it is so easy....I have yet to get her to show me how...

So a month ago I made my first few orders....600-800 pics! Yeah....I bet Walgreens is lovin me...lol
I was so happy to have those pics in hand...going through each one...reliving the memories.....now I just have to get them all in photo albums ....and organized.

After Christmas...I thought I would go ahead and get those pics developed....well whatdoyaknow Walgreens is having another 10 cent sale....so last week I put in an order for 263 prints....8 of those being 5x7's...and also a photo cd...all for $38

The sale ends today...so this morning I thought I would get on and order the last of the Christmas pics I took and while they were having the 10 cent sale...some other random pics... I ordered 429 prints.... 4 of those being 5x7's and 2 photo cds because only 250 pics can fit on one cd....I spent $55 on that order....

I also made 2 photo collages...which are way cool...you can put 20 pics on one collage....you can choose the color border, add a title to it..etc... I ordered 2 (8x10) collages for $9 something

Someone pleaseeeee stop me!

The best part of it all...I don't even have to leave the house...it gets delivered right to my door....ahhhh...gotta love technology!

Okay....I think I am done rambling now...I need to go throw some clothes in the dryer and another load in the washer....my house is a mess from the holidays.... we did manage to take our tree down yesterday and get everything put away....

Wishing each and everyone of you the best for 2009!!!!

Until next time.....
