Not much new to report..

Well, much to the urging of Amber.. I am finally posting my 2nd entry! It's been a long couple of weeks, the drive to and from work everyday is really starting to wear on me. And it's not really the drive, more so the having to get up at the crack of dawn!
I started last week with my trainer, twice a week.. he's really great and makes the time go by quickly but he kicks my butt!
I also had my first appointment last week with the "fat doctor" it went alright, although the diet plan they give you is really tough for me. I was supposed to do 5 days of protein only! Do you have any idea how difficult that is for someone who is addicted to carbs?? AND he tells me, you can only have Starbucks if you take it without milk.. ok really has he never had a triple grande half vanilla/half caramel skinny latte! I can't go without those every day! So on top of no starbucks, and no vitamin water because it has 13 grams of carbs in it, the Super Bowl was this weekend, and it's just been a tough week for me. So I ate lots of yummy food at the party, and was really bad Monday and had a huge ice cream sundae from Kilwains for lunch it was Chocolate Chip Caramel ice cream, with hot caramel drizzled on top with dark chocolate chunks. So yummy, So yummy! (As Adrianna's favorite show would say). Anyways, I found out today that I gained 2.6 pounds this week.. TERRIBLE! So besides feeling like a complete failure, when the doctor comes in to see me, he's like what were you doing last week?? I felt like such a loser, especially since they said the average weight loss in the first week is 5-10 pounds.
Adrianna got to go to her play class twice this week. We went yesterday to make up since we didn't go last Wednesday. Neither of us got up very early after being at my sisters until late watching Sex And The City Movie. The class yesterday was packed! There must have been at least 14 kids plus a set of twins.. it was like chaos. But she had a good time as usual. She even walked on the high and low balance beam, holding my hand of course. Today when we went it was a much smaller crowd, just three other kids besides her.. so a much calmer environment. It's always so neat to watch her interact with the other children and to see the others as well and what they do. There was one little boy named Joey who would bring her over a ball all the time... before they started their next activity.
Not much else exciting is going on in our world, Adrianna's vocabulary is starting to expand... She says all the dogs names of course, Mama, Papa, Leelee, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie, Uncle Allen, Apple, Milk, Grapes, Chocolate, Yo Gabba Gabba, Diego, Elmo, kitty cat, I can't remember any more of them at the moment, but I know them as I hear them.
Oh and when she see's a picture of herself she says "Anna".
Let's see.. what else, I'm probably not going to get to go to Texas in February because I just fired another associate and have to hire at least 3 or 4 more girls.. oh and my part time manager quit too. Granted, none of these people that have left are big losses, but it makes it more difficult on the rest of the team until we're staffed again. So now I'm hoping first part of March.
I did get to go see Dane Cook, thanks to my sister, this past weekend! He was hilarious! I couldn't believe the amount of people... the entire Forum was almost full! And the madness from Super Bowl... I think the last time I lived here during a Super Bowl was 2001.. I just don't remember it being so eventful. There were celebrity parties all week, charity events, and of course the NFL experience.
Next week my dad comes into town! I can't wait.. I think we're going to take him to the State Fair, and he's going to go with Emily and Adrianna to her Valentine's Day Party at Gymboree on Friday but other than that I'm just really looking forward to spending time with him. I can't wait to take him to my new store and show him the circle.. it's so nice down there!
My sister told me this weekend that they think they'll be getting their orders soon to move to Colorado.. I meet this with mixed emotions, on one hand I want them to find out what's going on so they can start to settle down especially with my niece on the way! But.. I really don't want them to move now.. I've been able to develop a relationship with my sister, finally, and wether that's been good or bad is for her to say ;-) And I want my little girl to be able to know her first cousin.. and to know my family and my sister (and Allen) have been so supportive of me these last 17 months I don't know what I'll do without them if they go! I know there's always email, pictures and plane trips, but it's not like being around all the time.
Until next time..
