Feeling the Burn!

Thought it would be smart to push myself a little more yesterday in my workout routine, though today I am thinking that I might have been wrong. I normally work on my legs for about 30 minutes every other day. Yesterday I decided, hey why not work for an hour, and I did this all as a standing legs workout. Today my legs are screaming at me for what I put them through yesterday, although I am sure they will be thanking me later (I hope!) as I am sure that I will eventually see some fabulous results (fingers crossed)! Needless to say the legs are getting the day off, but the abs and arms definitely are not! Ha, it is a wonder my body doesn't retaliate! Actually, they aren't really feeling all that bad. They could feel much worse, and I do think that I am now going to stick with an hours worth of standing legs workout. I think I am going to shorten my leg lift workout on the machine though. Compromise just a bit. I mean, what good is it going to do me to stay in shape if I kill myself with the workouts!

One step closer to Finland

The hubby phoned me just a bit ago and cheered me up a bit! While we were talking I went and checked the mail, and both of us are happy because the papers he had to fill out for my residency have finally come in! Now I just have to wait for the new passport then I'll send all of this stuff off! I feel like I am one step closer to be there! Hope it won't be too long now. :-)

I found toasting glasses and a cute little cake serving set while browsing the net yesterday! I loved them and just couldn't help myself, so now they are being personalized and should be heading my way in a few weeks! I am having out December date put on them though. We didn't have anything like this when we got married the first go around, and I am sentimental and want them with that date on them. I'm sure some people will think it is odd, but they are our glasses and cake cutters :-) !!

I really need to shopping so much! I am finding way too many things that I would like to have for the wedding. I do have a list though and I am trying to stick to it. So far I have managed to stay within my budget, and that is good for me and the hubby!!

Finally settled for the day!!

I thought I was going to have to beat up some BIG men today over some Valentine's Day chocolate! Dad's g/f called and is really sick with that bad virus that is going around. She tried calling Dad and couldn't get him so she called me instead. Her son had an accident a few months ago and can't drive but needed some Valentine's Day stuff for a girl. So I volunteered since she does a lot for me. He needed on single rose and a box of chocolate. The rose was easy!! The chocolate was not!! No one here in town had any chocolate. So I had to drive down to R'ham and go to Wally World. Well, there wasn't a lot of chocolate left there, but there was a lot of big men doing some last minute shopping. I had to squeeze my way between them and they kept trying to push me out of the way! Excuse me?!? I am not that big. So I fought my way to the chocolate and finally got some! I delivered the said gifts, and now I have made it home to chat with my hubby! How understanding he is!!

Valentine's Day!

I certaninly hope that my Valentine's day gift for the hubby reached him today! I dropped the package I had for him in the mail a little over a week ago, so it should be there by now. It is going to be a somewhat sad day because he isn't here, but there are plenty of other people who won't being seeing their significant others today either. I am just happy to know that I have him, and that he is thinking of me (Note to Mr. Lilja: You better be thinking of me!!)! I did get my Valentine's Day gift from him a little early. I got it on Monday and of course I opened it up then. There was a sweet little postcard with puppies in a wagon. I don't know what it said, lucky for me though he did write in English on the back!! He sent me my favorite little candy bars as well, Mars Delight! I could have sat down and ate them all right then, but I am trying to limit myself as I cannot find them around here! I don't want to run out too quickly!! :-)

My Dad is excited about Valentine's Day too, because yesterday he took me flower shopping with him. Although I was only really there to pick out the flowers for my Grandma. He already knew that he was going to get his girlfriend of 6 or 7 years a dozen roses! The roses were beautiful, and still are, although I almost threw them out of the truck door on the ride home. You see...not only did he take me to help pick out my Grandmother's flowers, he took me to hold onto them on the ride home as well. So by the time we got back to the house my jeans were soaked with water from the roses! He wouldn't turn the heat on in the truck because of the flowers (smart idea), but the water in that vase was frigid and there was A LOT of it! I would like to report that I am alright, and no I did not suffer any hypothermia! I hope that Dad's g/f enjoys the roses and that hubby enjoys his V-day gift as well! Me? I am going to go eat a Mars Delight!!

My Very Own Chips!

I couldn't remember for the life of me which page I posted on about my chips, but I thought I would take a picture of the last two packs before I ate them! I just happened to get a box from the FedEx man that said, "To Stacy, From Stacy", but I didn't remember ordering anything. Turns out it was a promotional thing for Stacy's Pita Chips and they were sending these chips to everyone named Stacy! So now, not only do my brother and I have our own line of shoes (Stacy Adam's), but I have my very own brand of chips! How outrageously humorous!

Bridesmaid Gifts!!!

I am so excited! Today I got all four gifts ordered for my girls! They are so cute. I would have bought one for myself, but I do have to budget! How terrible is that!?! And soon I'll have beautiful invitations to send out thanks to Ms. Chloe and English Tea Paperie (check it out if you haven't)!! Ah...and I have the decorations for my reception as well! Now...everything will be perfect once that hubby of my gets his little butt over here!
