Twilight movie

My friends wanted to see Twilight as soon as it came out, so we went last night to see it. Overall, it was a good movie, pretty true to the book. The little girlies that were there were pretty annoying though. One of my friends has a huge crush on the boy that plays Edward, so she was pretty entertaining for us to watch. I'm really lucky here in that I have a few girlfriends that have become pretty close and we go out pretty often. I've never had that as an adult, and it's nice to be able to get out without kids or husband and have a good time.

Stuck in a rut

So a couple weeks ago, Jason and I decided that we needed to try to be healthier and lose a little weight. We're both exercising every day and trying to make better choices when we eat. The first two weeks were great for me--I lost 8 pounds those two weeks, which I know is more than I should have been losing, but I attribute that to cutting way back on soda. So now that my body is getting more used to the choices I'm making and the exercise, I'm not losing any more. It's really frustrating to be trying to hard and stuck in the same place. I know I need to keep it up and it'll happen, but it's hard not to be discouraged. And when I get bummed, I eat. I took a little quiz that's supposed to tell you what kind of eater you are. The answer came back that I'm an emotional eater. And when I read that, I thought, "yeah, duh!". I don't know about other families, but I think in our family, all the women are emotional eaters. They don't call it comfort food for nothing!

I think in some ways, I still see myself as the skinny kid I used to be, so when I go try on clothes and look in the mirror, it's a surprise that I don't look as good as I used to. :) You'd think I'd be used to it after 9 years, but there you are.

Boring day

We'll after talking to my mom this weekend, she says that she's started setting up a blog too. I guess I'll have to change that to everyone and their sister-in-law--Angie!

Everyone I tell about my job tells me how lucky I am to do what I do. Basically, I sit at a desk and do nothing all day. I get maybe one or two calls a week, get legitimate mail that I have to do something about maybe one day a week, and have a client stop by maybe once every six months. So I play games all day long. And I'm so over it. I did this from January to May and now I've been doing it again since September. Not to mention, if they can't find someone to take over my office in January, I'll be (hopefully) transferred and if not, out of a job. If there were other office jobs in the area, I'd look, but it's freaking Surprise--nothing is out here. I really don't want to go back to retail. I'm so bored with being bored.

Today

Nothing much going on today, just our usual Saturday full of laundry and house cleaning. After the chaos last weekend, my house is really ready for a thorough cleaning. The kids did clean for me last weekend, but there are some things that just need to be done by me or Jason. Bailey really does a decent job on the bathrooms for the most part, but sometimes it's just not quite the way I would do it--of course that could have something to do with the fact that she's 9. I'm actually not looking forward to the next time I make the kids help me clean because my mom paid the kids to do the work, and I refuse. I figure if they live here and help make the mess, they have to help keep it clean. I'm just a mean mom I guess.

Tonight Jason and I are going on a date, so I'm looking forward to that. We're lucky to have a wonderful babysitter live across the street from us--she's 13 and is really sweet and knows how to cook mac & cheese! I'm really spoiled this weekend because last night I got a girls night too, so that's two nights in a row getting a break from the kids. After the tennis tournament Jason worked the week before, I have really been needing a break. Anyway, we're going to dinner and going to see James Bond, so I'm really excited.
