I've got the fever!

Spring fever that is! Today is was a balmy 47 degrees, and I tell ya -- I felt like pulling out my shorts! I am sooooo ready for spring.

Today was a day for life changing decisions...

Right before I got in the shower this morning, I stepped on the scale and nearly died of cardiac arrest. I was terrible!! The mere shock of that number nearly took my breath away. So, I did what any normal girl would... I turned off the shower and picked up the phone. I called Kelly and Lisa and tried to talk them into joining weight watchers with me. Thankfully, they've agreed to keep me company along this journey to lose 20!

Then, I took a shower and called Matt. Thank God, I have a supportive husband! He's a saint really.... Even though I rarely admit it, I do know that I'm beyond "quirky" at times, and could drive ANYONE nuts. Thankfully, he takes it all in stride! And yes, I do get on my own nerves at times! LOL!! Anyway, when I told him of my great plan to rejoin Weight Watchers, he told me that I looked good and didn't need to lose any weight (OK, he's a big fat liar, but I love him for it). I was like, "thanks honey, but I"m going to WW". When he asked how much weight I wanted to lose, I told him 20 and he then said, "fine, set the goal, and when the weight comes off, go and buy a new summer wardrobe". Oh -- how I love that boy -- skinny and all! LOL! So, starting tomorrow, I'm back at WW!

However, right before WW, Matt and I are going to dinner with Lisa and her beau. We're dining on the best Mexican in town. It's this little hole in the wall that serves the best chips and salsa anywhere!! I can't wait! There's nothing better than going out to dinner with good friends!!

Then, later tonight, I'm talking to Val, a friend of mine from high school, and tell her of my WW plans -- Wouldn't you know -- she's starting tomorrow too! Watch out world, there's gonna be some hot mammas on the lose! LOL!

Tomorrow the kids and I are heading over to Michelle's to meet Tessa. I can't wait to love on that little girl! She's soooooo adorable. Katherine can't wait to give her the presents we got her!

In other, more important news -- the big countdown to Katherine's 4th birthday party is underway. And I've got to say, I'm totally unprepared. She really wanted to have a Little Einstein party, and of course they don't make party supplies yet. So, I was contemplating making everything (invitations, decorations, etc). We went to three different party supply stores and I couldn't find anything I liked well enough... She was OK with either Strawberry Shortcake or Ariel, but it wasn't her first choice. So we kept running in and out of stores, not finding anything that was "good enough". Matt kept suggesting random stuff, but I wasn't happy with having a second rate birthday party **** This is where I know I'd drive anyone NUTS ***** I spent waaaay too much time on the Internet researching Little Einstein birthday parties, and still wasn't happy, so tomorrow after naps, we're heading back to the same stores that weren't good enough on Sunday to get second best.... UUUUUUGH!
