I am having, probably, the best Easter ever! It’s been so great. We had an Easter Egg Hunt and 3 of the neighbors came. Better than I expected, actually. And they stayed for like 2 hours. It was so wonderful to have an adult to talk to. And the kids had so much fun. The kids actually weren’t ready to leave!

I’ve been thinking about life before we moved here. About how normally people would say, “What are you doing on Easter?” and I’d have to say, “Nothing.” It was always like that for every special occassion. Now we’re out doing things, and we have neighbors we can actually get to know. There are so many more opportunities here for us and for the boys, I think. I’m very excited and very happy today.

I’m actually much more happy in every way, every day. I don’t know what I have to attribute that to, but I am positive that part of it was moving here. Money is tighter (I’m so broke) but everything else is so much better. For so long I’ve wondered why people get up in the morning.. and now I’m excited to get up and start a new day. To anyone who helped me get here, though I wouldn’t know it was because of you, THANK YOU.

I doubt I’ll be posting again before Easter, so Happy Easter. I’m leaving to pick up Michael soon and I can imagine the weekend being very full. Especially with the Easter Egg Hunt the boys sucked me into creating. Eh, should be fun if people actually show up. I’m so used to people saying they’ll be there and not showing.

I decided to reopen Lala Land yesterday. I just miss it so much. I’ve been paying for it all this time, I really should do something with it. I’ve been told other people miss it as well. What do I have to lose, anyway. If you go there, you can see my progress. I won’t link to it because I really don’t want any sneak previews, but since many people know the domain already I guess I can’t really stop you.

I had to take some time off The Rumbles, so I put up a message to say Happy Easter. I’ve just been so annoyed with it lately. It’s not the competition itself, but that I can never catch up on it! The emails just keep getting further and further behind. So they closed for spring break and still there are millions of emails coming. I need a real break where everything just stops and I can catch up. *begs*

Today was declared Naked Day by this guy.

So I figured I’d do it..

Good morning all. I just got out of the shower. I love that feeling. I still don’t understand why I have to force myself IN to the shower each day. But it helps that it’s the only way I can weigh myself, or else it would probably not work out so well. Speaking of, I have a little update on that. Most of my friends now I made myself a goal on that I would try to lose 45lbs between March 1 and Sept 1, making me the skinniest I’ve been since Corey was born (6 years ago). I lost track of my weightloss success for a bit because I got sick and couldn’t sleep, and then I went through a phase where I had to eat constantly. But right now I have 30.4lbs left to reach my goal. That makes me just 2lbs lower than I should be at this point. I’m just amazed I stuck with it.

Yesterday I took Corey to see TMNT, because it’s his spring break. It was awesome, I loved it. It had some phrases from the original, which I think really pulled in the old school Turtle fans.

I got a big thing of nachos. That was a huge mistake, I think. But if I’m not giving up. The purpose was to make this effort for the full 6 months, and I’m going to do it!

Does anyone else have a plan for eating better and being more active? This isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle change. Or, an attempt at one, anyway.
