Hope this doesn't offend Ms. Pippy- but I couldn't help it. She was one of my favorite characters when I was a kid.

My new eating plans have been going very well. Yesterday I went on my first healthy shopping trip. I expected to pay big bucks for healthy food. However, I did not go over my normal budget..... which took careful shopping but I was pleased. One thing I learned was that fat free mayo is expensive (the most pricey thing that I put in my basket) and that tuna is not as low fat as I was made to believe. I did not purchase tuna. Yesterday morning the nurse (also my sister-in-law) called and said that hubby's triglycerides were sky high (over 1000). So he is now on my new eating plan also.

I wanted to say that we are not necessarily doing this to lose weight, although I'm hoping that will happen, but to take back our health.

I've decided to have one cheat meal a week. This will most likely take place on the weekend because we eat out more often. I really need something to keep me going as I'm crunching down carrot sticks instead of potato chips.

The exercising has yet to begin. I'm having a hard time figuring out when during my day it will fit. And plus.... I loathe it. Yet, I will do it. Once I start I won't fail.

New desk/computer, Baby's Room, and New Blog Finds

This is our new computer and desk.

and this is what I see of my husband these days. He is really into youtube. I'm glad he is enjoying the new fangled machine. (yes thats a lawn chair, do you know how much a desk chair costs these days... as much as the desk)

I pretty much mention our adoption to everyone I know (and some I don't know) all the time. Its the big thing in my life right now. So, here are some pictures of our precious baby's room. The curtains my mother made, I made the afgan and bunny on the rocking chair, and everything else is purchased. Its only part of the room, the other half is our spare twin bed and a dresser. Its very simple I know, but I like simple. Living simply is a blessing.

Your Sacred Calling

check out her post about bloggy gossip.

We had a nice Thanksgiving. I made french bread, which was going to be used for my mom's stuffing but we decided to eat it instead. Also, I made hashbrown casserole and a layered pumpkin pie. Little Miss had her first thanksgiving meal.... via her mommy. She is growing like a weed and shes soooo smart. Not that I'm biased or anything. Hopefully I'll have some new pics. to post soon. Her mommy told me yestarday that the doctor had been called concerning some constipation issues. I'm going to call and check on her tomarrow and wish her a happy month old Birthday.

Anglea at Life With One Busy Boy

Our party went well. After its success I'm thinking of doing Thanksgiving for our family. I mentioned it to my mother, since my sister-in-law is doing Christmas for us this year. I have to discuss it with hubby.

My sister-in-law is going in at 6:00 a.m. tomarrow to be induced. Shes been dialated to 2 for a week and she isn't progressing. Hopefully by Thursday I'll have a new neice.
