The winter break has officially began and so far being lazy has been my main focus. Monday I spent most of the day sleeping and watching daytime television. I love ER reruns. At night Scott, Steph, Dustin and I made cookies all night. It went over really well and Dustin and I came home having made several dozen of a couple different kinds of cookies. However, today I am getting back on my diet, so I won't be eating much. The past two weeks I have pretty much just eaten whatever I wanted and gained a couple of pounds in the process. However my total at the moment is just over 15 pounds. I am hoping to get up to a total of 20 lost pounds by the end of January. I set a goal (with help from my husband) that if I can maintain a 20 pound loss for 2 weeks I will get an appointment for a massage. We'll see how well I do while traveling through the holidays.

Today I am heading to my mom's work to volunteer for their Christmas parties. I really love volunteering there. I just wish it wasn't so far away. I am going to have to spend a night away from Dustin and Quinn and I hate being away from them, even if it is for only one night. I am such a home-body. I never want a job where I am going to be away from my family at all. My Dad travels overnight all the time for the army. I could never do that. I love eating breakfast and dinner with Dustin and Quinn at my side.
