Weigh In - 5/13/06
So I've really done it! Yay me! I've hit my first big milestone! I've lost another 3 pounds for a total of 20 pounds! Woohoo! I feel great! I'm sooo happy! I have thought about my last weigh in and calling it a diet, it's really not a diet as much as it's a way of life.
And speaking of life, life is rapidly changing for me! It's official. I will be living with my brother by next month. I'm really excited, nervous and scared all at the same time. There is so much involved in living out on my own. And my mom truly spoiled me living with her all these years. I just consider this training for when I'm married. I will have to keep the house clean, do the dishes, laundry and still have a life. :) I am excited to finally get out all my decorating stuff. I bought a ton throughout the years that have been shoved away in a box since I couldn't decorate more then 1 room. Now I'll have several! Our concern now is furniture; it’s the biggest most necessary and expensive thing we need. Today I'm going with my mom to check out some used couches. They were only a few months old, and my mom went to look at them yesterday and said they were in good shape and worth the asking price.
We're also driving by my parent’s new place. I have never seen it but I hear it's huge! My sister is almost embarrassed at how large her bedroom is! I can't wait to see it. I'm sure it's beautiful. It's a new house. My sister did actually sell their current house, it's in escrow now and she was given $25,000 up front. So I'm really happy for her. Things are moving on more quickly then I would have ever expected. I guess Jeff is moving in with his fiancé this weekend. And this week they have to go through and divide their stuff at the current house. I'm nervous for Heidi just because I always here this part of divorce can be the most painful. Luckily they are going to have a mediator there that both of them trust. Jeff is a sick man. I feel really bad for him. He owes my sister alimony and child support and won't pay it. And he got his portion of the money for the house too so it's not like he doesn't have it. Oh well. Heidi's lawyer is going to put him under contempt of court since he's not complying.
My parents are moving out two weekends from now. I’m not sure when Brian is moving in. He is coming up this weekend for Mother’s Day so I am going to try to sit him down to work out some decisions. I think it will be good. Brian and I have always had a good relationship. We have also had our fair share of arguments, but what brother/sister hasn’t? But I do know that when we both lived at home we had a great friendship and would hang out and go to the movies and to dinner. I am hoping we’ll get that time again. I know he thinks this is a good move for him. The only regret, and it’s a big one, is that he’s moving back to the desert!
Well it’s almost 10 and I need to go get ready for the day… Yes, I’m being lazy! We’re heading out soon to go check out the new place and possibly my new couches. hehe
