Whew! What a weekend!
On Saturday, Jamie and I spent the day with my parents choosing paint and painting supplies for my living room/dining room. I am more than likely going to be doing this project solo since Steve tends to not get involved with these types of projects. (Jeesh) but I am more than happy to do it myself. I am pretty motivated this last couple of days so Saturday night I washed two of the walls and then yesterday primed one and put a color coat on the other. (One had been painted last year and just got washed, and the other had been behind panneling and had original paint from 1955 on it which had to be primed.) I put a second coat of color paint on the one wall before I went to bed last night, so things are just pumping along.
HOWEVER, I found a giant upside down A scribbled on the wall that had its two coats of color this morning. While I was checking my e-mail, Jamie decided he needed to add his own touch. After my initial shock, our conversation went as follows. He proceded to tell me "A scribble happend on your wall Mommy, from when I was a little boy a long time ago." So he sat in his room while I re-painted his scribbles and thought about fibs and coloring on walls, and also primed the other wall.
Otherwise, things are going well around here. I have been having a hard time staying OP. I think that staying OP will continue to be a struggle for me all the time period. Ugh. I hope that things get a little better. I haven't been to Weight Watchers since June 10, so hopefully the damage hasn't been all that bad. I have been doing massive dammage control this past week, so hopefully things won't be too bad. I am just not looking forward to it.

FRIDAY FIVE
1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short? Naturally curly and cut just below my shoulders. Pretty short for me.
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime? I've always had the curl, even more so when I was a child/toddler. My Mom always tells the tale about how she couldn't get a comb through my hair when my hair finally came in. My hair was also jet black when I was a child, but now has lightened to a very dark brown with reddish highlights.
3. How do your normally wear your hair? I've been in the habit of doing a pony tail since I don't like the feeling of hair in my eyes/face, but since I got it cut this short, I try to wear it down as much as possible. Obviously, during the summer months, with the hot and humid weather we get here in WI, I keep it up as much as possible.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like? I really don't think I would change anything. Perhaps a bit more curl, but other than that, I am pretty satisfied with my hair. I've only had highlights put in my hair once, and that was enough. It wasn't the best highlight job, and the color was not what I picked out. It just didn't look all that natural to me.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened? My Mom allowed me to get a perm when I was in freshman year of high school. It looked good until I got to wash it for the first time and I developed an afro for the rest of the school year. My parents didn't encourage much make-up or hair styling, so I didn't know what to do with it besides just brushing it out. So, that coupled with my natural curl, just pouffed out for 6 months. It was a pretty rough semester.
Another kind of hair disaster, was when I was a senior in high school, I was attempting to curl my bangs before school and I burned my forehead with the curling iron. I had a scab the shape of the curling iron about three inches across my forehead, an inch above my eyebrows. Pretty embarrassing and very painfull

OMG...I can't believe it has been three weeks since I have updated. I actually have an excuse. I really do.
The hard drive on Steve's computer crashed, and I lost everything including the web site. We were attempting to use my computer to dial up and connect to the interent, but my computer is strictly a game computer and not at all suitable for interent. It was impossible to access even my e-mail with out it taking 20 minutes to compose and send a simple message. Not at all acceptable. Steve got the hard drive going again and over the weekend, we have finally been able to use it. I can't tell you how happy both Steve and I were. Happy dance galore. This is the first I've even had a chance to sit down and even think about updating. Ugh!
We have also been so very busy with birthdays and other holiday's around here. My Mom's birthday is on May 24, my Dad's birthday is on June 2, my birthday is on June 8, and Father's day was yesterday. Throw into that mix, our 5 year wedding anniversary was last Friday June 13th, a baby shower for our close friends' baby yesterday, and all day seminar on how to do make-overs and a trip to the zoo. Unbelievably busy. Insanely busy.
As far as WW'ers go, I lost 1.2 lbs two weeks ago, and 0.4 lb last week. It has been pretty smooth sailing the last couple of weeks. Seeing two losses is really great for the morale around here. I had a bit of a rough week last week, but I still managed to lose so that obviously makes me happy and motivated. This past weekend, however was rough as all get out. So, I know what to expect, and I'm not to worked up about it.
Jamie got his first buzz hair cut yesterday. We have been keeping it a bit longer and it has gotten so long in the back that it looks like a mullet and that is just not right. So yesterday, when we were at my parent's house, my Dad asked me to give him a trim so I did with their new hair trimmer/buzzer and then Jamie got plunked in the chair against his will and he got all of his hair buzzed off. It was done with no tears as well, so it went rather smooth, especially with a promise of ice cream if he sat still with minimum of complaining. It is not a close cut, like Steve's military style, but his hair is and inch long. It really suits Jamie, since when he gets hot, he sweats unbelievable. Steve is the same way, so I guess it helps him to have a close cut. He does look like a completely different child, and he looks so grown up. I can barely believe that it is Jamie.
Anyhow, OP to everyone. Hopefully things will go better this week point wise for me. Wish me luck!
