Two more days and its my birthday month ! I can’t wait. Jenn has two surprises, and no matter what I say or how I threaten to torture her she will not tell me anything. Damn !
This weekend was eventful or uneventful depending on how you look at it. We are picking up hours at Ed’s while Joel is away, so Friday was spent at Ed’s Jenn and I watched a movie, and spent time with the dogs. Saturday morning we had some fruit and toast, then walked to Max’s parade. While we were in town we grabbed some coffee. I love Brockport’s own java junction. The parade was nice. Saw some people I knew, and neighbors. After the parade we walked the canal with the dogs. I love the new bick path they put in the year before last. Truly in the last couple of years I have opened my eyes to all of the good things anout living in a small town. I appreciate everything this town has to offer. The cute shops, the festivals, and all the other things that are organized during the holdays. It is a nice feeling. Plus Jenn and I have gotten to know some of our neighbors, so that feel good spirit is there too. Matty loves that he lives near two of his friends he has made from story time, and that has helped him transition. Oh about Matty (as he would like to be called ) instead of Matao. I called him that one night and he said I want to be called that by you and Mommy two. So it stuck, and it continues to catch on. Anyways … we have yet to hear from our social worker about the family member that wanted him. so we continue to wait and hope for the best.
So to continue this weekends wrap up. Saturday night my parents watched Matty and Jenn and I went out to dinner and shopping for some spring/ summer clothes. We got some good deals and some really nice clothes. When we got home we played with the dogs, and put Matty to sleep, and our night night time followed shortly after. Sunday we had breakfast in bed, did some yard work, picked up some groceries, and had Temoc and Xochitl over to play with Matty. They all wanted pizza so we ordered veggie pizzas and enjoyed being with them
Today back to grinding for the bills !!!

With weather like this who needs to travel. The weather has been very nice and Jenn and I have spent most of our evenings and weekends outdoors taking care of the house. I bought new porch furniture, pots and a backyard picnic table, which we have already enjoyed when we cooked out Sunday. Most of everything we needed to do got done except for the veggie garden. We bought a small peach tree which we hope to plant soon. Besides working, yardwork has been the name of the game, along with spending time with family. Matao had a nasty cold that lasted for about four days too, but he is feeling better. This weekend Jenn and I are having friends over for some tasty food, drinks and playing cards. That should be lots of fun. It has been about two weeks that we haven’t seen most of our friends, so today I picked up the phone and called some friends. Joel leaves on Friday for vacation so Jenn and I will be working some extra hours for the next couple of weeks. The money will come in handy for our vacation later this summer, and the all organic veggie garden I hope to extend this year. Well thats all folks. Love to all who enter here.

So we are still eating green as I like to call it. Since my b-day of last year to almost my birthday of this year I have lost 18 pounds. Once you change your mind set and are more mindful of what is going into your mouth you make more of an effort to eat better, and feel better. Jenn has been taking supplements too, walking Lucy and Sonny 2 times a day and not just her usual two block stroll. I have been doing my ” Leslie Sansone walk way the pounds DVD”, (the five mile walk) 3 times a week, and twice a week doing 15 minute weight lifting.For a long time I was heavy then I lost a hundred pounds, then I gained back 30 pounds over the course of two years and now I have, with really minimal effort lost 18 pounds and I feel great. I have 15 more pounds to lose and I will be at a healthy weight. No matter what I know I will have to exercise for as long as I live not just to keep myself at a healthy weight, but to be healthy and feel good. walking is the only way I know to get the weight off and keep it off. These DVD’s Leslie Sansone has out are by far the best I have seen. Plus a person with my medical issues will most likely get the green light from their doctor. Leslie Sansones programs are easy and effective.
