Cake Making Madness

Friday I cooked and cleaned all morning...Tina(my BFF) went for a tattoo and a piercing...We were joking some friends go for a spa day we go and stab ourselves with needles. Tina got a VERY cute nose piercing! I went to get a matching tattoo on my foot..Long story short they wouldn't match my foot because it sucked according to them so we made a brand new one...TA DAH!!!


Then we came home and met up with my friend Kim and made Aubrey's cake! It turned out very great and I was very happy the way that it turned out and the fact Mommy made it for her!



We also threw a few back and had a great "girls night"

It's only 12.26!!!

I have already cleaned the house top to bottom and washed the floors, decorated as much as I can, mulched and weeded the flower beds, Baked a cake and cupcakes, filled the fridges with booze and sodas!! My mom is at the store now picking up some last minute things I forgot. I plan on going to get a tattoo in a hour or two. I have Trevor's name on my right foot I plan on getting Aubrey's on my left. I am so excited that my baby girl is going to get ti have a great big party to celebrate her first year in this crazy world!

Could they get any cuter?

New Orleans

Tomorrow marks the anniversary for Katrina hitting New Orleans. I really hope this hurricane Gustav doesn't slam into them again! My heart really breaks for these people. Keep them in your prayers.

My frugality

As I have mentioned lately that our finances need an overhaul so no more spending, unless necessary of course. This week I went to Target when Soda was 4 12 packs for 1 dollar after gift cards. I also went to the post office twice to get some stuff sent out for eBay(up to 220 dollars already!), Tonight I am running to Sam's with my friend Kim and her daughter to stock up on stuff for the birthday party! We havent really gone anywhere at all this week. Its great our bank account is loving it!

I LOVE Fisher Price and House Party!!!

I was just looking over my instructions for the goodies bags and trying to figure out what else I want to put in them. I looked up all the FREE toys that I am getting...Its valued at $270!!!!!! Aubrey would have most likely received one of these toys as a gift for Christmas but I would never be able to give her all these toys. Plus the little toys for the gift bags are great for all the guests attending the party!!

I'm getting 4 of the poppity-pops, 3 snap lock beads, and 3 rock a stacks:





These are the toys for Aubrey that I get to set up(well Jeff gets to set up) so that the kids can play with them and test them out!

I HAD lost 2 pounds. However last night I had 2 slices of Pizza for dinner because I had a really bad day and didn't feel like cooking. So now I'm down 1.4 from last week and 17 in 7 weeks!!! I'm very happy with my weight loss.

I am finding the keys to MY weight loss are eating meals. That is very much my problem. I forget to eat a meal and just eat a nutri gran bar so then my body holds onto everything. Water, WATER, WATER is also my motto!!

Jeff and I were talking..I'm beginning to feel a lot better about myself physically. I am not sure how I will look 30 pounds thinner. I may decide to only lose 20 more. Basically once I get to that point I will re-evaluate and go from there!! I do not want to be skinny skinny I like shape to me. Never was a fan of looking like a 12 year old with no shape.

I would like to focus on short term goals now and keep my 50 till Christmas in the back of my mind. By Halloween which is 9 weeks away I believe I would like to hit the 30 pound loss mark. I need to lose about 1.4 pounds a week. I think I can def do that. If I go over even better.

My mom and I went shopping this weekend for Aubrey's party. I was able to squeeze into a size 14 pant and a L shirt. I feel like you can tell I've lost some weight in the outfit. I will def be in a few pics so I hope I can see a difference. I'd say I'm about 5 pounds I will be able to fit into the 14's comfortably.
