Day 18

Day 18: Something you crave

Cereal!
This is actually the top of my fridge!

 The side of my fridge, where my extra cereal is!

I almost forgot about my blog today! Oooppps, better late than never! Ok, so something that I crave???? Well, CEREAL!  I eat cereal for breakfast everyday.  When I am hungry and want a snack, I eat cereal! I love cereal! And with my couponing, I can find really good deals on cereal! We almost always have about 8 boxes open on top of the fridge. I like variety!  My kids are big cereal eaters too!  Hmmmm, cereal, maybe I will have a bowl right now! ;)

Day 17

Day 17: Your celebrity crush

Jason Statham... can we say yummy? The voice, the accent, the abs, the steely good looks.... all I can say is wow! I love action movies and he is great in all The Transporter movies.    He is definitely my number one celebrity crush! ;)

Day 16

Day 16: Your opinion about your body and how comfortable you are with it

 

Is anyone ever really truly comfortable in their own body? I know that I am not! To be honest, I have struggled with bad self image for a long time. I don't like the way that I look.  I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life.  But I hate to work out and am too lazy to do it. There, I said it! I want to be more healthy and be more active for my kids. I just need to get off my butt and do it!

Even though, I hate the way I look, I really try to be positive about my self image for my six year old daughter. I don't want her growing up thinking that she is fat and struggle with the same issues. I want her to look at herself in the mirror and KNOW that she IS beautiful in each and every way.  She has blond hair, blue eyes and is super tall and skinny!

But all that matters to me, is that my husband loves me, all of me, rolls and all! ;)

Day 15

Day 15: Death row meal

First off, I will never be on death row, but if I had to pick a last meal, this is what it would be! 

Lasagna is my favorite food! I would have this, some garlic bread and a spinach salad with iced tea to drink!

Day 14

Day 14: A tv show that I am currently addicted too

I have been watching So You Think You Can Dance since the very first season! I love this show!

Lemons

You know that old adage, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?  Well, I don't want any lemonade! I want life to be fair, but life isn't fair and never will be.

After work yesterday, I had an errand to run. After I went to the Super Target, I was driving home on the freeway. I looked up in the rear view mirror and saw smoke.  I looked down at my gauge and my car was overheating.  I called Eric and pulled off into a parking lot to let it cool off. Luckily, it was only 100 degrees yesterday and overcast, so it wasn't super hot. Hey, it could have been 118!  I sat in the car and waited for it to cool off. After about a half an hour, I tried to start it up to make it home and it wouldn't start. It was just too hot. So, I called my best friend and she came to my rescue and picked me up and took me home. After work, Eric and a buddy of his went to get the car. Long story short, my radiator is cracked and needs to be replaced. This summer has been a rough one for my car. We have had to deal with no AC all summer and now this. Sucks!  But hey, it could be much worse! I just wish that I could get a new car, but we can't afford that right now! 


I went to the Indio Super Target to get some back to school deals.  I got some really good deals!

Day 13

Day 13: Goals

I would have to say one of my top goals in life is to own our own home! My husband and I have been renting for over 10 years and it is time for something to be completely ours!  I would love to own our own home! Right now, our credit is pretty shot, so we can't afford to buy a house. Ever since my son was born three years ago, we have totally outgrown our two bedroom apartment.  I have been looking and looking for something bigger, but haven't been able to find one that we can afford.   God knows what is best for our lives and I keep believing in Him and He will lead us on the right path!
