Just sitting here

Well, here I am. I know you all (all 3 of you) thought I'd forgotten about this blog, but I'm back. I actually have a lot I want to update, but I don't know that I'll do it all right now. But here I am, just sitting here listening to the wonderful sound of my children playing outside and smelling some delicious cookies in the oven. It's a good day.

I've decided I'm going to copy my sister-in-law, and publish for the world to see my battle with weight-loss. After 5 kids, I've got a few extra pounds that I wouldn't mind losing. I've somehow become the ring-leader for a weight-loss competition that started last week. It will go for the next 14 weeks. I'm excited because I need the motivation. I'm also worried that I won't get it all off. I get discouraged easily, and I think if I don't get it all off this time around (it's the 3rd challenge for me) I might give up completely. So, I'm determined to win this competition this time. This first week has been pretty good for me, but I always seem to lose steam on the weekend. I still need to get some exercise in, too. I weigh in again on Monday to see how much I've lost. Keep your fingers crossed.

Now, I'm going to copy her again, and make a list of things you have to look forward to. My only problem is, she's clever. I'm not. So my list will simply be a list and not an exciting itinerary with funny titles. But, here it is:

Our temple adventures
Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays
Fun at Thanksgiving Point
This is the Place State Park
Summer fun

So, there you have it. Lots of fun to be had in the coming days here at Creativity Escapes Me!
