This is where I'm at right now. Keep your fingers crossed I'll be able to be back soon.

Working in the office (this is a temporary situation but one taking up most of my time lately)

Nutrisystem. So far so good, fingers crossed. DH and I appear to have made it thru the hardest part (Friday and Saturday!) We ate out twice but we had salads both times and this evening we even shared one. Kudos to us! I did have sips of diet drinks today (not a favorite of mine!) but I couldn't go to McDonalds and not have a soda. Have you ever tried a McD salad? Surpringly good. I never thought I'd say that! I've only been on Nutrisystem since Monday but I feel better already. Good experience so far. Hope we can keep it up. DH and I are totally getting into trading since we are realizing that our food is basically the same. For the most part I really like the food but there are some things I'm just not a fan of and vice versa. It's kind of exciting like the rush you get when you trade cards or collect beanie babies. That of course was when I did those types of things - LOL!

BMX Racing. The Redline Cup which is the 2008 Central Finals was in our backyard this weekend and we got to spend some of our day today there watching family. I had cousins from Tulsa in to race so we got to spend some quality time with them. Sad to say but this was the first time my boys got to meet one of their cousins. Ok, it's a second counsin once removd minus four. LOL. My own little joke, sorry about that. It was my cousin and his son. So I think Nick (Rick's son) and the boys are second cousins, right? If my Grandmama was still with us she would be able to tell us. She was so good at all of that!! No matter, we still had a great time seeing them. And to top it off Nick got 1st both last night and today in his group. Way to go!

Potential Haircut. I'm getting antsy and a bit anxious for a change and it's leading me towards a new haircut. I really want to end up with this but my hair is too short so I think I'm going to have to start off with a short inverted stacked bob so it could grow out to this (with slight bangs). I'm just not sure until I lose weight if the tweener look would work for me.

Design. Been having fun in my spare and very limited time to help my step-mom with some custom bedding. We've been looking at fabric and design styles. Fun. Wish I had more time for things like this. It's so enjoyable and relaxing.

Holiday Season. Can't believe it but I'm starting to think about this. I believe it all stems from the fact that DH and I are going to stay on Nutrisystem until Thanksgiving at which time we will eat and drink (yes wine!) normal. So I'm already really looking forward to Thanksgiving and the thought of mash potatoes. Then I start thinking about Christmas because that's the next time I'll get to eat for real because we will continue back on Nutrisystem in December. Then this leads to thinking of Christmas, gifts and plans. I'm kind of excited. Fun times ahead!

Home Improvements. Our coffee table broke again. It broke about a month ago and I was so fed up with it I had the boys carry it to the basement to retire it. Having gone a month without one I'm now ready to tackle it again and re-attach the top to the base. Last night I had a dream about how I could fix it. I really want to do this. I also need to finish sewing window treatments for the kitchen. Very simple treatments but still need a good block of time. Although I haven't been up to finishing these projects I have been up to thinking a lot about each of them. Does that count?

Speaking of design, I'm going to end this post with an inspirational photo for me. I just love the shelves, how they are positioned and displayed. Unique and definately thinking outside of the box.
