Here I am as a Metallica Rock Fan. Every year my friend Angie throws a theme party this year it was Rock Star, I am not happy with my turn out but ooh well, I have to work with what I have - frizzy hair and a big fat body! It was fun though. Always fun to be goofy and immature once in a while. Next year will be better... we are just doing BLING Casino night... play black jack and other Vegas games for cash! Rick will like that one. I don't have a good pict. of him. He wasn't to happy with going... Every year he says I AM NOT GOING!!! but every year I make him. we always have such fun getting ready for it... but this year he was being really stubborn. I just had a fake earring in his ear and a skull bandanna on his head, and ripped up pants and Harley Davidson shirt.

Other things that has happen is Nicholas had his last Tournament Thurs. they lost Sat. they won and Sunday they won! Now he will start another hockey league but not so intense! we'll have more spare time on our hands.

Well once again, I have a new strategy for losing weight! Last night Angie's brother was at the party and he was looking so much thinner... asked him what he was doing.. and he is diabetic! He has to watch his carbs... I know I always do the No/Low carb but can never ever stick to it... but find that is my way of losing weight when I do stick to it. So my new way of going with it is pretending I have gestational diabetes. When I had it preg. with Michyln I followed a strict diet plan... I was in better shape pregnant with Mike then I ever was and I lost all that preg. weight fast after brith! Here is what I had to do... I get 3 carbs for Breakfast and 3 carbs for lunch and dinner and 1 carb per 3 snacks a day. Each carb will equal 15 grams. so for Breakfast I will get 45 grams of carbs. Lunch and dinner I will have 45 grams each. having a total of 180 grams a carbs a day. I think I can live with that! Angies Dad also is diabetic and that is what he has to do and he looks great. I am sure it will take longer to see results but if that means I get to have my treats once in awhile, that is something I can live with.

This morning I woke to a nice surprise, Erica and her friend Allie made the family breakfast! very impressive! we had bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and pancakes... and I told Rick he is making dinner tonight! so I get away with only having to make lunch today! what a treat!

Alright I suppose I am gonna go catch up on my paper work/mail/book reading! NICE LAzy DAY!! I don't allow very many of those! I will enjoy it.
