Dreams...

I don't know about you all but I have some pretty crazy dreams sometimes. Like last night for example. (Disclaimer: You know how crazy dreams can be so bare with me) So the first part of the dream that I remember I was in the Olympics (see disclaimer) and I was running in a race. Edward (but I think I knew he was Chris) was there too and he was running in his own race. I ran super fast and it was a possibility that I could medal depending on the other races. Edward won the gold for his race and I couldn't wait to tell him (because for some reason he didn't know). Then the next thing that I remembered I was at the Cullen house and we were all just hanging out.

Now... I know what some of you are thinking... THAT I AM CRAZY!! but what is up with crazy dreams? I don't even remember thinking about Edward or the Olympics or anything that had to do with this dream.

This is just one example of my subconscious working stuff out. Anyhoo... just thought I would share. If any of you have crazy dreams to share I am sure we would all love to hear about them.
Peace!

Aloha!!

I have been taking Hula classes that are taught by a friend of mine through Rec and Ed for about 3 semesters. My friend Angie who is the teacher asked if I wanted to perform with her and two other women in some paid luaus. I was flattered to have been asked so I did. These are pictures from the last one that we did for her apartment complex.
This was our New Zealand dance.

A Momentous Day

A week or so ago we bought Riley some big boy underwear (Cars) and a new potty seat (also Cars) and started the dialog about potty training. I will frequently ask him if he wants to go potty and we will grab Where's Waldo and go take a seat. Nothing usually happens but it is good practice. So, this morning I asked him if he wanted to go potty in the toilet and he said yes so we took him in and HE DID IT!!! He went potty!!! We of course fussed and he was clapping and so happy that he did it. It was great. Riley called Dada at work and Aunt Mimi and Grammy to tell them the big news. It was pretty cute how excited he was about doing it.

And the Winner Is.....

ME!!!! So for those of you who don't know, I was in a weight loss competition over the summer with some of my family members. We did it Biggest Loser style and all put in some $ for the pot and then the one with the biggest percentage of weight loss won. Well, after a long summer of working out more than I have my whole life and watching what I ate I was declared the Biggest Loser. It feels great to be thinner and to look good in my clothes. I wish I could take the winnings and run to the mall but I need to be more responsible at the moment. Maybe I will take a trip to TJ Maxx in stead. :) My wonderful sister-in-law Lindsay gave me a run for my money and it was fun to be a little competitive too. I am happy I won, but happier that I am now in the habit of working out (especially with my 10 year high school reunion right around the corner).

Back to Normal

Last weekend I had my first garage sale at my dad's house. It was fun to get rid of some stuff that we don't really use and make a little cash for it. I also performed with a friend of mine in a Luau, so the practices kept me busy in the evenings. Not to mention trying to work out while spending every waking moment reading the Twilight books. I finally finished Breaking Dawn on Thursday and loved it. To treat Riley for all of his patience while I read, my sister Mary and I took Riley and her daughter Ruby to the D town zoo on Friday. Riley has his mom back and Chris has his wife back. I loved the books though. Thanks to all of you who recommended them to me. It was time well spent. So.... I hope to be making more posts and posting more pics now that I can get back into my life.

One Down

I just finished Twilight last night and loved it. I think Chris is feeling neglected and is starting to compare himself to Edward. He is a good sport though. I am trying not to neglect things around the house too much. So... thanks to all of you who recommended the books to me! And if you haven't read them. I would try them out. Now I just have to get my hands on the rest of them.

Twilight Series

Well I just started the book Twilight. I thought I would give it a try since a lot of people have told me how good the books are. So far it is pretty interesting. The newest book in the series comes out tonight and I have friends going to the party. What is up with these books like the HP series and Twilight where they have such a huge fan base that stores have release parties. I wonder if Tolkin would have had such a response when Lord of the Rings came out? I bet he would have considering the followings the movies had. Anywho...I hate jumping on the band wagon most of the time, but I guess my friends and family would never steer me wrong.
