MinnesotanMommy's Journal

Life is good! So, despite my car finally puking for good (electronics and computer finally went out on the old junker--and it's a junker!), I had prayed for two days in a row that God would provide a way for me to get a new vehicle soon. Well, not quite the answer I had in mind, but dang, I'm not gonna knock it! It so happened that my SIL was looking to sell their '97 Chevy Ventura van! Dual doors, automatic, GREAT shape. I'm so excited! We have it here, but a seal or gasket or something has to be replaced, so it'll likely be a couple weeks before I actually get to drive it. But I'm still excited cuz I have a van again! I loved my Dodge Caravan and missed it so badly and have been pining after a new van since I had the Caravan. Well, now I have a new van!!!!! I'm set to have more kids in a few years now! Yay! THEN I also got a new cell phone. I told myself I wouldn't get a Motorola product, but I talked to them and she said the Razrs were hot sellers and they don't break down often. My friend has one and she's liked hers real well, and my other SIL has one and they like theirs. I got the cheaper of the two varieties, but I don't care. I like it a lot already! THEN I had to go to Target to pick up scripts (I did go to the doctor for the bumps and she said they're cycts and that it looks like I get them frequently cuz she saw many scars from them I guess...I don't always realize I have them) and I had to pick up an antibiotic with it all so it was an excuse to get the scale I've been dying to get! It's a great quality and get this...it's right on with the clinic's scale!!! So...I lost another 4 pounds! I'm loving this 5 day pouch test...it's doing wonders! I'm now 4 pounds from my below 300 pound goal!!! I'm gonna be a jumpin fool when I hit 299! Most people don't think anything of that and consider a weight like that to be a disadvantage, but my heavens, I haven't seen that low of a number on the scale with my body on it since like, years. So I'm excited! I'm loving the melting away body I've got going on. Life truly is good and I'm even buying the Bible I want so badly! I'm so excited! Life is just happy for me...things are just going well. I even got my coffee as a treat while Carl and Ethan got KFC. I wanted some so bad but I just told myself NO...that my coffee is my treat...and that I don't need something that unhealthy in my body and it'd break my 5 day pouch test that I'm working so hard to do and stick to. I'm really proud of myself for saying no cuz it was HARD!! Drinking my OJ with Miralax in it. Do that twice a week to stay regular and not painfully hard to bust another hemeroid and induce pain again. LOL...the doc said it was okay to take it twice a week to help me so I don't go through that pain again. Life is just a happy occurance for me and I'm going to enjoy it while it's happening!
