Another one bites the dust . . .

Yeah my weightloss New Year's resolution hasn't gone so well. In fact all of my New Year's resolutions have been a bust. So now six months into the year I am attempting once again.

Goals:
1. Lose weight - I joined weight watchers so thats a step forward, right?
2. Have family home evening - Does having callie sleep in my bed count?
3. Read the Scriptures - I am using the articles of faith handout Callie got at the tabernacle as a book mark. That must count as it look at it everytime I open and close my book.

Seriously though by revisiting my goals six months in I am hoping I can actually achieve them :). Wish me luck!

Onstar

I used Onstar the other day and Callie was tickled pink that the lady on the radio knew my name. Callie then proceeded to parrot every direction. Good thing I don't have to use Turn by Turn directions everyday or you might find me in a straight jacket.

Why oh Why oh Why oh did I ever leave Ohio?

This weekend I painted the playroom. It was a much much bigger project than I anticipated requiring several trips to Home Depot and Lowes to pick up more supplies (ie blue tape and paint). Yeah I didn't realize the room was a big as it was and figured one gallon for three walls one quart for the walls next the windows and a gallon for the ceiling would be enough. . . . two additional gallons and mixing the excess whites together has created a brighter prettier playroom. In addition to the painting I added some shelves and painted the shortwalls with magnetic paint for fun. The magnetic paint though isn't as strong as I hoped so a few more coats will be required . . . This of course means another trip to Home Depot or Lowes.

Callie was good for the most part during this painting adventure. She didn't paint anything she wasn't supposed to from Friday through Sunday. Today however the good streak died when she was getting ready for her bath and decided to paint the bathroom wall with drywall compound. Then to add insult to injury she decided to wipe the excess off with one of my good towels.

I am not quite sure what I am going to do with her. She is funny and cute however when she is naughty and I ask her why she made the decision that got her into trouble her response is the same "Because I wanted to." I am not sure how to get her to understand that doing things just because she wants to is not always a good thing. It's a good thing I have light hair or I'm sure you would see alot of grey these days.
