Lucky Girl

Yes I am! I have the best husband. My Robbabob surprised me with a book I mentioned I wanted...and he even used a gift card that was given to him...that's what I call love!! The book is Bob Greene's Best Life Diet. I watched an Oprah episode and it looked like a good plan! I can use all the help I can get. On the Oprah show they mentioned they will have affliations with food companies to have good food labeled with the BEST LIFE food motto. Another book I have enjoyed and followed is Jillian Michael's book. It's great! I have not joined her online weight club as it is a bit pricey, and I felt with the book I could get most everything I needed. I did manage to get to the gym last night hoping to do weights but it was too crowded...so I thought I'll do the dreaded treadmill or elliptical but they were all full. I managed to get onto a treadmill but only after suffering miserably on some sort of workout equipment for five minutes...not sure what it is called...it move your legs back and forth. Finally on a treadmil and struggled a bit and got some stitches?? (pain in the side) But I felt great after and burned about 450 calories and then home to a book I wanted on the counter!!! Happy Girl!
So before I got home I noticed that a fire had started on a hillside near what used to be the Kmart. So here is a picture taken by my hubby of me with the fire (kind of hard to see the fire but it's there) in the background from our house and another one taken earlier before I got home.

So tonight after work...off to see the kiddos and see what they are up to. I also want to catch the State of the Union address by our President. It might be kind of difficult as the kiddos will be busy with homework or something and it usually involves them being loud, so we will see. I guess I better finish off a few things here at work before I head over to my sister's.
