A new year is here once again. I realize that I rarely look forward but instead pine for what was lost. I hate the new year, it just serves to remind me of so much wasted time. I haven't done well at all. I was being pretty good last fall until the entire DH cheating thing. It really broke me. I am still not great but I am going to be better.
Not a whole lot has been going on. I walked alittle before and after christmas. But the weather got kindof yucky and now I have a nasty cold. Christmas was great. I got Just Dance 3 & Zumba for the Wii. I haven't used either yet but as soon as I feel better I will for sure! I also got a new crockpot which I am in love with, a stand mixer, new knife set and a baking dish. So that all made me really happy. I can't wait to get back into cooking. I tried making a crockpot lasagna that had great reviews but it didn't turn out well at all.
The other thing I got for Christmas is a secret, so if anyone is reading this do not tell anyone :) The DH doesn't want his parents to know lol. I got two sweet little girl rats. I named them Willow and Sookie. They are alittle over 2 months old and just precious. I can understand why the DH doesn't want people to know, he just doesn't want to explain that his wife is an animal nut or be lectured if people do not think it is a good idea lol. I mean we technically have 7 pets now.... 3 cats, 2 parakeets and 2 rats. But it is really not bad. Expense wise the cats cost a bit with food and litter each month. The rats & bird food is super inexpensive and last several months. Cleanliness can be a pain always lol. But I am good about it. Just make it a routine- wake up feed everyone. Then every day I have to vacuum for the cat fur and the amazingly messy birds. Clean the litter box daily, clean the birds cage one a week.
Some people think rats are super dirty but that isn't true. They are litter trained and bath themselves like cats. Rats are also super social and intelligent. They can be taught tricks and to come to their name.
Willow is the dark headed one and Sookie has the white line down her face.
It does suck that it has to be a secret because I would be filling up facebook with pics lol
Anyways... I am reading the Spark Book. & going to do this all right. I need a firm plan and to set goals. I gave up coke. I only drank diet but it was still just awful for me. That is one step. I am back to blogging and going to track my food and exercise.
Right now though I just care about getting over this cold. ugh
