Keep on the Sunny Side

New record this Summer… Not a Born and Raised “plus”… A new group of songs to bring the whole thing up to date with Summer 2013. I have that hunger that always precedes something meaningful. See you all soon. And thanks for the warm welcome back to the stage. Getting back on it a little at a time.

I just.. I am so pumped!!!!

1 Year.

Yesterday marked our one year since we moved out of our home and in with my in-laws. Crazy to think. Its definitely been a year of ups and downs. So many things -good and not so good- have happened.

Bad thing: Headaches appeared.

Good thing: Knocked off most of our debt. Over $14,000 in one year. Not too shabby.

Bad thing: gained some weight

Good thing: Lost some weight (one month of eating clean tomorrow!)

Bad thing: Got a mini van (okay, i love it)

Good thing: FINALLY OUT OF A LEASED CAR!

So, yeah, lots of different things in this past year. My husband and I will prayerfully be in a position to buy a home later this year. (if you pray, pray for that!)

As far as my headaches go, I have not had a full blown migraine in a month (PRAISE THE GOOD LORD)!!! This is huge for me as a month norm was around 4.

It turns out ( as I mentioned in a previous post) that I believe the main cause of my headaches were my diet. Seriously, after 26 years apparently my body wanted to become intolerant to most foods.

My main triggers are officially: chocolate, coffee & nuts/nut products

SO SAD.

But my month of eating clean has gone well. Not easy, but well. I have had a few cheats here and there but for the most part I have been very diligent with it and my exercise. I will weigh myself tomorrow to see how I did my first month. A life time to go. But I think these first few months will be my hardest. Maybe not. Taking it day by day. Sometimes meal by meal.

Anyway, my kid will be 2 in JUNE. That’s crazy, She’s awesome. Sometimes she’s a bully, but she’s a sweet girl.

The other day I started talking about baby names. Does this mean I am ready for baby 2? I always said I wanted Adele to at least be two. God bless the mothers with 2 under 2! I cringe at the thought. Because of this I wouldn’t be surprised if Gods like BAM! have some twins. Because God talks like Emeril I’m sure.

Anyway, thats my very condensed year. Looking forward to seeing what this year brings…

THROWBACK THURSDAY!

Zoobilee Zoo is an Emmy Award-winning children’s television series featuring costumed performers dressed as animal characters.

Generally the plot of each episode consists of the main characters, called Zoobles, encountering difficulties usually common to young children (though some adults can relate to them) and then learning a moral lesson about dealing with such problems, such as being apprehensive of going to a doctor or learning to appreciate others. Each character has a certain gimmick in his behavior or interests that gives him a unique view on each problem faced.
