Getting to Know Me

I am a Mommy. I have a spirited (almost) four year old that keeps life very interesting. Jordi is feisty and stubborn, but very smart and loveable. I learn new things every day as I see the world through his huge, brown eyes. He is becoming a little boy rather than mommy's baby and that breaks my heart. But I also can't wait to go through his stages of life with him. He is my world.

I am a wife. I have been married to Kevin for ten years. He is a stay at home dad which to me is the most important job that he can do. I appreciate that he puts up with my OCD tendencies and tries to support all my crazy ideas. He is my best friend. Even though he doesn't listen as well as my girlfriends.

I am a daughter and sister. My family is my life.

I am a friend. I love my friends and wish we had more time together. Life happens, and sometimes it's hard to make time for those you love.

I am an employee. I work outside of the home. A dependable 9 to 5 job that provides food and shelter for my family. As well as great health insurance.

I am a Weight Watcher junkie. I am interested in weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. In the past two years I have lost over 100 pounds by doing Weight Watchers, and I still have a ways to go. So everyday you will find me counting points and complaining about how I don't want to work out. I am obsessed with food. If it is good. If it is bad.

I am a blogger. I usually this term loosely because I have a blog, but no readers. I do however enjoy writing on my blog even though I am the only person who reads it. And I LOVE reading the blogs of others.

More about me -

I hate cleaning house, but I care if my house is clean. This does not work in my favor.
I make lists and spreadsheets for everything (even trips to the grocery store).
I like to plan, plan, plan.
I like TV and I am ashamed to say that I like celebrity gossip. My husband can't understand why I talk about celebrities like I know them.
I am a day dreamer and night dreamer. Sometimes I live in a dream world.
I love the beach.
I love to read.
I love recipes and Food Network.
I like to fix people (or at least try).
I am not very flexible. And by that I mean I don't like a change of plans.
I try to have compassion and I try not to gossip, but sometimes I get caught up.
I can be a smarty pants and a know it all. I am always right.
My husband says I can be hard headed, but I don't agree.

So that's me in a nutshell or at least certain parts of me. If you read this blog then most likely you know this about me already. If you happen to stumble across this blog then maybe you will decide to come back and visit.
