The Biggest Loser

Last night was the season premier of The Biggest Loser, I love that show, I find it very inspiring. So yesterday morning I weighed myself and decided that I am going to make more of an effort to get healthy, I have never had success with dieting, I have no will power and I find it difficult to eat at normal times. I won't share how much my weight was but oh man I really need to do something here, yesterday went pretty good and I am going to keep at it. Anyone else doing the same thing?

Book study?

I read a book a while ago called "For Women Only" it is a book based on surveys done on men about what is important to them how they feel in certain situations etc. It was a great book, it really showed me how and why men think the way they do, it gave me an understanding about them that was very valuable. I was at the book store the other day and saw a study/discussion guide about it and I thought I would like to do a study on this book, I want to read it again and I would love to do it with others so we can talk about it. So here is what I was thinking: How would you like to do a bit of a study and discussion on here with me? Who ever wants to can "sign up" you can remain anonymous of course, you go buy the book, it's cheap and I can tell you where to get it, I will get the study guide and we can read say 1 chapter a week and I will talk about it from the study guide and then you can send your thoughts/responses. I would do the post on the same day every week. What do you think? Would you be interested in that?

The Bachelor recap

So did you like the first episode of this season? I did, I can see that there is most definitely going to be drama, like in the preview that shows Jake storming out of the one interview....interesting. I love how the host says EVERY season "This is the most dramatic season of the Bachelor/Bachelorette we've ever had!" Oh brother, seriously? I did like how they did away with (for last nights episode at least) the "coming up....." I hate that when they waste show time on showing us what's coming up after the commercial.

So a recap on last night, Jake meets 25 girls, for the most part they are all pretty, but some of them I was like seriously? I'm sure that the show puts some of these girls on purely for shock value, like for example the Cambodian girl who's pick up line was a not so classic: "I will let you land your airplane on my landing strip anytime" OH MY WORD! Did that really just come out of that girls mouth??? Thankfully Jake did not keep her around now we don't need to hear anymore of that grossness. I was actually a bit surprised that it wasn't edited out, but I suppose that those sorts of comments and innuendos are becoming more and more common nowadays which is very sad. And how about the girl who was crying nearly the whole night, Michelle? Wow, uh....how can you be THAT in love with him after only just meeting him, you are coming across desperate lady. I loved the question from the one girl wondering what Jake's priorities are in life, great question and his answer was even better, "God, Family, Friends, in that order" I loved it.

What did you think?

The Bachelor

Who is excited about the Bachelor that is starting tonight???? Uh......I AM!!!!!!!!! LOL Yes I know I have no life if I am this excited about it lol. I am excited mostly because it's Jake from the Bachelorette, poor, nice guy Jake, I loved him and Jillian didn't, her loss is our gain hee hee. Now we get to watch him find his own girl, lets see if this one lasts......I think all of the bachelors before him tended to think with their.........ahem.......you know....and not their heads or hearts. Let's see if the so called "too perfect" Jake does things differently then his predecessors.

Anyone know how to put pics in from the show on here? lol

Swearing

In my last post I wrote about these guys swearing at a church event and it gave me another blog idea:

Recently we were at a party and there was this couple that were really getting on my nerves. The woman was telling a bunch of people about her labor and delivery of her child and was not being to careful about her description. Her kid and mine were right there and they were listening to her. Then the guy starts talking, I don't know what he was talking about but he's saying the "f" word among others, in front of the kids! I was mad. I was like "seriously? there are kids here and you can't watch your language?" I was sitting with my sister and she said I was over reacting and that kids were going to hear it anyways when we are out and about. Now this made me even more mad, I realize that you cannot control what your kids hear when you are out shopping etc but when you are in a situation like that in someones home, you CAN control that and I chose to control it, we left. Now, was I over reacting? I don't think so, when you have small children they don't need to be exposed to those sorts of things and the very idea that just because they will hear it other places outside of my control so just get used to it is absurd. Swearing is one of the things that just grates on me, I hate hearing it, especially from people who claim to be Christians, those words are not ones that should come out of your mouth. I really am bothered when I am out shopping and people are talking and swearing, I have never had the guts to say anything to them about it. Since when did it become so acceptable to speak that way without checking to see who's around? I know that I am most likely in the minority here with this but there you have it, my rant on swearing.

January 2

Here I sit at 11:59 in the morning still in my pajamas on my second cup of tea and listening to my girls playing outside in the rain, the odd time I hear fighting but they seem to figure it out. How lazy am I? lol Now is the best time though, I'm alone, all is quite in the house and when I should really be doing some house work or at the very least start trying to tame the afro that is my hair instead I sit here blogging. I have missed it, I've been so busy for almost the whole month of December that I have not hardly had the chance to think of any postings much less write. I am looking for ideas though, send them to me, what do you want to read? Do you like reading new recipes I try? Do you want to hear more about everyday life? I could definitely write more about everyday life but then I might get in trouble cause some of those everyday life situations would not be too happy to see themselves in my blog. lol

Here is something exciting: my sister J is about to have her 1st baby, she's not due till the middle of January but the midwife says it could be any day now. I am so excited, can't wait to meet the newest addition to the family!

Yesterday we had a fun family day, that rarely happens so it's really special when it does. We went to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, it was cute, the kids liked it. After that we went skating, every year on Jan 1st our church rents out a local sports complex, they have skating rinks there as well as a pool. Alexa wanted to go skating, I think she regrets the choice now because her ankles were sore and she fell and bruised her knee. Fun was had by all. While there I was looking around and noticing that I didn't hardly anyone, this is the problem with going to a large church, we saw several people but not that many. Then I heard one of the younger guys swear on the ice which really bothered me, he skated by me and I heard him say to his friend "f#$%^@g jerk" I'm like seriously?! This is a church event and there are kids everywhere?! What the?!!! Oh this give me an idea for my next post......

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year to you! ...who ever you are, lol I hope that 2010 is filled with fun, adventures and God's richest blessings for all of us, I pray that HE gives us wisdom and the eyes and ears to see and hear HIS leading.
