Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
This song really gets me going in the morning!! That, and the um, chilly 7 degree temp. today

Run, run, run!! I am getting so close to one of my big goals.

27.5 miles to go and I will reach 1,000 miles for 2006!
Now, to work on that weight loss goal.
Great weekend with Matt

We hunted Sat morning and slept in too late on Sun... But we headed home early then on Sun

We dropped a cooler full of venison off at Mom & Dad's and then stopped by the pro shop at the bowling alley and ordered bowling balls. I am pretty excited and Matt is totally stoked.

That is our Christmas to eachother we decided. I am glad.... I think that having to shop for eachother separately is so stressful. I know we miss the element of surprise and all but we still get that on our Birthdays.
On the way home yesterday I read Lacey's thread on 'what love is' to Matt... I had printed it off on Friday and it was so moving that I had to print it off and read it again. Callie's entry was wonderful and so were Bob's and many others. You should check it out if you missed it....
I have to budget every last dime this month so I can cover all the Christmas and B-Day and other party gifts that I have to purchase. I can't go over board either because I have to buy plane tickets to my cousin's wedding in mid- Jan and secure a hotel room... It will work but it will be close. I can't wait to get through the holidays and get going on the savings account! I hate money stress.
What a great surprise! got the sweetest PM from a new friend

Tammy!Thanks so much for the encouragement!

Are you happy that Ohio will be playing Florida instead of Mich? At first I was dissapointed, but I figure at least this way Mich will walk away as winner of the Rose Bowl!
