Thank goodness it is almost over..... It has been COLD, more like artic! I have been turning white from being soooooo cold!!!!!!
Ok, my dad turned the big 56 this week and we celebrated by me eating tons at club 41. We are heading to a casino on sat. to celebrate a bit more.
So besides the cold weather and me not feeling like doing much Jan. was a start of my diet. I am in a challange with a few friends and it has been rough!!! i cut out reg. fountain pop! i have not had but one sip from jake and it is hard hard hard!!! I have tried to cut out alcohol. so my life has been boring! i have had 2 beers all month! no LIE! I have been excercising and journaling my calories that i intake and work off my body!!!! it is tough. I am doing a bit of Wii Fit at Emily's and beating her bad!! ok, not at all!
I am working hard on winning this competition. i can say that since it is for money I will try to win and will try to forget how hard it is to diet. I feel for Oprah!
So that is all for this Month! i can only hope next month will be more exciting.
i should post before and after pictures on me in a bikini!!! kidding.

Love my job
on my way to work one morning and I had to stop and take a picture. I just loved this! I imagine it was a husband and a wife.... just taking a stroll......
Bond, James Bond
This is Mr. James Bond. If you know my son he loves to get into character...... I am sure next picture will be from the Blues Brothers. His new favorite.
Are you all shocked I have a photo on here........

Are you guys ready for this.........
Ok, I realize my last post was almost two months ago so i will try to sum this up as best as I can. No pictures today folks...........as well as no feeding the wild animals..... and yes i am on a diet for 2009 so i am now a wild animal..........
So Nov. 13 was the last post. Since then lets see: went to a comedian on the 15th of Nov. Love to laugh... good times had by all........
The weekend of the 21st. (still in November people)... I went to Oklahoma to meet Ella Grace Krisher. My mom, Jake and I drove (long trip, especially since I was trying to make short cuts and it happened to make it longer.....) to visit for a long weekend. We had a blast meeting Ella, have pedicures/manicures, shopping, eating (how i miss food), holding Ella (spoiled her a bit) and playing of course with Emerson (I like to Move it move it). Of Course we loved seeing carol and Shawn and their new home. Lets just say we cried when we left. I am crying a little now just writing about it......... miss them! Emerson turns 3 on the 8th of Jan. YAY!
Then of course we had Thanksgiving. My brother made it home so that is always a nice event. we had our usual outings and fun times had by all!!!! spent time with the family on thanksgiving. That is pleasant as well. I love my job when I can have the days off and see family and relax!
In between these weeks I of course started my new career as VP of Emily Grace Jewelry (VP of something. I am under the CEO (Emily) and President (Megan). I think by next year I may work hard enough and become the President!!! watch out Megan...... I was a beading maniac!!!! i even took them home and invented my own designs. I love it. Then I worked the show on Dec. 4-6th. I want a cash register......... I earn free jewels. nothing is better then that!
I then went to my other dear friends April's pottery party that weekend. I love her stuff. Not sure if she will let me design for her, that maybe my next mission.
My birthday was Dec. 13th (not to late to send gifts). I went to fun city with my parents and Jake on the 12th and met Michelle, Bobbi and aunt Darlene for dinner and had a blast! I went to dinner with friends and Jake and my mom, then bowling with Alison, Halle, Danielle, Seth, Bryce, Emily, Jake, and me..... we had a good time. Then went out for a bit with Emily, Katie, Dan, Jaci, Keisa, and Kim. Had a great time. Thanks guys for making my 27th birthday extra special.........
I was very busy in December with getting Christmas ready for 92 kids in need. I love doing this every year! its a lot of work, but well worth it to see a child have a special Christmas. I had lots of help from friends, family, co-workers, businesses to provide clothes, toys and other necessities that we take for granted that we have and can easily get. I feel wonderful when it is all over with. I am so thankful for the help i receive and the gifts and money donated! I am also thankful that the school allows me to run this program!
Of course we had Christmas and the 3rd annual HO HO HO party. I had a great Christmas and Santa brought Jake and all exactly what we wanted. We are very lucky! I had two weeks off and that was a relief! i have went through and cleaned out rooms (the toy room was a MESS!!!). Jake and i got new closets, thanks to Dan's renovations!!! we have lots of new things and we love all of them.
Ho HO HO was another class reunion success. I love seeing all my friends from high school and beyond! I sang a few songs.... then on course that emptied out the party...... It was a great time and look forward to Ho HO HO 4th annual. Dance floor is in the kitchen........
New Years was a fun event with kids and great friends. thanks to Danielle's mom and Lamont for letting us hang out. we had a blast. D is not for DUD anymore........
We have had lots happen in the last two months, Birthdays, anniversaries (mom and dad 36 years), holidays, baby showers, babies (at work I have had 4 co-workers have babies in the last two weeks), BUNCO and lots more I am sure. I look forward to 2009 and what it has to offer. I love all my family and friends and all that they provide in my life! I look forward to many more years of a fun filled, action packed, watching Jake grow, boyfriends and maybe a husband one day........... lets not get carried away ALYSSA! We will see for 2009 i wish everyone a great year and i hope all your resolutions come true!
My resolutions are:
1. be a awesome mom, PATIENCE is key!
2. Be a better daughter, mom i won't be mean anymore........
3. be to work on time and work REALLY hard at everything I do!
4. Travel with my brother every other weekend..... ok, that is stretching it.....
5. lose 35 lbs!!!!! ok, maybe 5 and i will be happy!
6. Be a awesome friend........Hey there is a magazine that says research shows if you gossip with your friends you have a healthy life. So i vow to have healthy gossip time with my friends. That is I will not talk behind peoples back, i will always make sure to say it to their face (which I have been known to be good at)
7. Say I am sorry if I fail at #6
8. say "I deserve to be loved and I deserve to Love" at least once a day!!!!!!
Ok, if i get this accomplished on in 2009 my life will be a breeze!!!
