im getting ready to start the process to getting myself BACK into school. im pretty excited.
LPN, it's a start to where i want to end up. my goal: RN. might take a little longer to get there this way, but im willing to put in the time.
if i start now, by the time the kids are in school for full days, i will be able to work, in the field that i've only dreamt about thus far. but not anymore... it's time to make some of my goals a reality.
i have a life too, you know!

wedding update
whew.... invitations, are cut, glued, taped, labeled, and sent!
seriously the most stressful part of the whole planning, besides the mr. not choosing his groomsmen! frustrating!
meeting the photographers on sunday, and going to pay the hall on monday. yep, ive been busy with planning.
i really have to find a hair stylist. i lucked out with make-up... one of the photographers... does the mac make-up thing.. sa-weet! whats mac make-up?! lol.
i just have to get my butt in gear, and lose some inches... not many, just 2. of my ba-donk-a-donk! seriously... thats it, and maybe tone it up a bit.... but it doesn't matter. the top of my dress is a corsett. meh, it'll tighten it all up nice... better be nice to my sister. :)

wedding update
it seems like everything is coming together for me, im getting more and more excited.
the invitations are almost ready to be printed, glued, folded, stamped, and mailed. whew... good thing for my sister. she calls monday
"umm, you better have the stuff for your invitations ready to so on saturday, because im coming over to help you put them together..."
so needless to say, im working on getting the stuff together for the invitation party im all of a sudden having. :) i love her as a maid of honour... she gets me, to get things done!
so right now, i apologize that if you receive a invitation that was made closer to the end of the invite making... don't worry if it's crooked... i probably wasn't seeing straight! lol. wine will definately be involved with something like this. good... attention to detail christine, good on ya!
(and that was just me, typing to myself... on my blog! i've reached a new level...)
invites will be sent out on monday!!
to add to all that,
im meeting with my DJ on friday, awesome. i think it's going to be amazing.
photographer early next week. the ones that were booked and that i originally wanted... lucky me!
so really, it's detail stuff... tables, linens, glassware, the liquor, shoes!!!! hair, make-up, and getting the mr. to not only ask his groomsmen, but to get them in to get measured up! nothing but procastination there!
anyways, the coffee is ready, and the invites are so close... i can taste.... paper?

day 2...
well, as the title suggests, it's day 2 of my workout, diet makeover!
i did awesome yesterday! i felt good all day long, except when the kids made a baby bath in the middle of the hallway... and spilt it everywhere, that was a little stressful. i tried so hard to maintain my cool.
my workout yesterday was unbelieveable! i took my time making sure i was lifting with the correct form. my cardio and yoga was fantastic as well... im feeling it today, im a little sore. but that good 'sweet pain'. that only tells me that what i did yesterday, actually worked!
i had more energy, and slept good. i feel absolutely awesome.
slept in a bit this morning, so i haven't had a chance to workout yet... most likely after lunch.
i took pictures, and measured yesterday, i think every 30 days i'll re-measure and take another set of pictures. just so i can document my progress. :)
YEAH ME!

workout - day 1...
well, today is the day. im starting my new diet, and workout plan. i kept it simple to start, so i don't get discourgaed, or... lazy. i need to whoop my body into shape, i have until the wedding, so august. i have some cardio, actually lots of cardio... planned for 30 minutes + everyday, except sundays. and mondays, wednesday and fridays, light weight training. :) tuesdays and thursdays i am starting up a running group. ladies, who run... in the evening. should be a success. also on tuesdays and thursdays, i have planned pilates. and of course everyday, including sunday, yoga!
should be intense. and the part im looking forward to the most, is lifting weights. and running of course.
a neightbour of mine, a trainer, is actually going to train me for a month, to see what happens. mostly he just wants to make sure i learn the right form for lifting weights, i start with him after easter. i've been reading and watching tonnes of books and movies, and shows on lifting weights... so i think it i keep it to the simple lifts... i'll be fine for 2 weeks.
my main concentration for the next 2 weeks is... diet.
wish me luck! im pumped!!

my dress
i finally ordered my dress, ordered it on the 9th, so im a little late posting the details, but alot has been going on...
so it's white. with one strap. kinda wonky, like me. gathered to one side. perfect amount of bling. fitted to show off my sexy figure, well... it's a working progress. lol. almost there.
funny thing is, i didn't really like the dress when i first tried it on. we were able to take pictures at BRIDAL DEBUT... (the best customer service EVER, and i would recommend them to anyone and everyone getting married!!) anyways... i do digress... the more i looked at the pictures after, the more i loved the dress. i went a second time to a bridal salon i wish not to mention... where i didn't like anything, and everything was being compared to MY dress. so i went the next business day and ordered the darn thing. nervous, but did it.
it should be here the first week in july. time seems to be running out, now that the dress is ordered... moving on.
NEXT!

stress...
it's been awhile,
so of course... lots is new, and of course... i have lots to talk about. nothing unusual.
i'll take it one day at a time, to fill by blog up with past, present and future events in my life. yea!
lately, i've been stressed. and i usually have that sense of stress because of my kids, but that doesn't usually come around until... after lunch?!
but this is a little diffrent, i go to sleep with it, and i wake up with it.
all i can say, is this economy cruch, is freaking me out!
i've been taking some important steps to get myself out of this stressful junk... and i've been looking for a job. thats right... a jay-oh-bee. although my kids will be in childcare... i've got to do what i got to do. i think i'll feel more secure having a stable job.
the man has one, but it's not promising. there isn't very much work right now through the union. when something does come up, he may have to sacrifice not being home every night... which sucks!
but were going to do, what we have to do...
