NEWS FLASH...I have lost 4 pounds! YEAHHHHH! OK, so it took 4 months(or actually over a year!). It is still 4 pounds GONE! I literally broke out my reading glasses this morning to re-read the scale. They confirmed the 4 pounds. Finally. I feel as if this is just the beginning. I now am super motivated and encouraged! Woot woot!!

I am still running. I love it! It is so awesome, even though it does burn the ol' legs and cause me to lay on the ol' heating pad, it is SO worth it. Less and less jiggle every time I run. OMG...I think I may be addicted! Finally, an addiction to something that is not HARMFUL!! lol What is I can give up my ice cream addiction for a treadmill addiction....OMG....that is too much to even comprehend! (Needless to say, I am easily excitable this morning! LOL)

Visited my doctor on Monday. We switched up my happy pill and kept my crack like diet pill. New happy pill has made a HUGE difference in my attitude and hunger. Cymbalta, where have you been all my life?? lol

All the pretend boyfriends are good. Pretend relationships still going strong. I even have added SchoolCrush to the mix. I mean, it is four hours on Tuesday nights, why not have a pretend boyfriend for that one night a week? lol (Yes, I know I need therapy...maybe I can take up a "love offering" from all the pretend boyfriends to cover the cost, I mean, one IS a doctor!) SchoolCrush is hilarious. We text during class, making fun of our professor and other people. Sometimes it is very hard not to bust out laughing. I forgot how important laughing is...at all times.

Husband and I seem to be trying a little harder to make an effort. I do realize now that I had basically given up and really put no effort forth at all. We will see what happens. BoyChild and GirlChild are doing well in school. GirlChild is really good a "creating" (I am trying not to so say LYING)stories and interesting characters. I wonder is she too has a pretend world. At least she realizes how important it is at an early age..lol!! BoyChild continues to want to wear his pj's 24/7, but yet reads on a 5th grade level (in 2nd grade). My children are definitely as bizarre as I am!

I haven't covered this yet, but my BFF (and closest thing to a sister, and someone who knows ALL my secrets, and my "fun mentor", and the one I call when I am at my highest, and the one I call when I am at my lowest, and there are so many more AND's, I could go on forever...) is pregnant. She did it the old fashioned way, artificial insemination. I am so excited for her I can hardly stand it! After 15 years of marriage and 7 years of motherhood, I believe she has done this the best way...by herself! Well, not really by herself. I know that there are so many of us that love her and can't wait to help her raise BFF Jr. that she will never be alone. BFF, you are my hero! (BFF is also President of the Cougar Club! lol)

Well, I have all day today and tomorrow to be Wife and Mommy. Monday morning starts work and pretend world. Both are equally exhausting, but well worth it! I get my "roots did" today and think I might just pick a new "fall color" for my hair. I mean, I am letting it grow out, so to fill the "new hair" void, I just HAVE to change color, right? AND, since Starbucks is on the way there, I just HAVE to get a Frappachino, right? Right.
