New job, new hair cut, right?

Sorry for a not-smiley picture....I was very tired when I took it! 

Wish me good luck for tomorrow: first day back to school for the kids = first day of my new job!

Weight update #3

I'm not happy today, AT ALL!!!! 

 

I'm REALLY REALLY upset right now. 

I finally finished my steroids treatments and the damn pills made me hungry all the time. 

The result is that I gained all the wight I lost and then some 

GRRRRRR 

Those 4-5 lb felt really nice off of me, now I feel like a balloon ready to explode again :( 

I'm trying not to get discouraged and just forget the whole thing, but I really don't feel good with this weight on me, I have to work harder. 

 Since it's been a month that I measured myself, today is the day for that too. 

Really don't want to but here I go: 

Chest: 38" 

Waist: 34" 

Hips: 43" 

Thigh: 23" 

Arm: 12" 

Gained 1" in my waist and lost 1" in my thighs from last time I guess not too bad after all.

But I did exercise my arms with dumbbells every day and the no change there is really pissing me off...

Now off to convince my brain that I don't need to eat to get over the fact that I'm upset I go.

New addiction to the family....

.....and nope, I'm not pregnant if that is what you're thinking.
We just got a Betta fish: meet Bob

Isn't he adorable? He's be living on our kitchen counter next to the sink for about a month now.
I must admit, I thought my kids would kill him by feeding him too much or giving him an heart attack by tapping on the glass all the time, but I guess he likes that!

Now I want to crochet fishes!

8 years wedding anniversary

8 years of marriage with hubby today.
We celebrated exchanging new wedding bands. Why? I'm going to tell you why.....

Hubby gained 50 pounds from the day we married 8 years ago and got to the point were his band was stopping the blood circulation to his finger, so he had to take it out. So for a while he wasn't wearing a ring at all, he was very bummed 'cause he really think is not ok for a married guy to go around without a ring.

I went to a jewelry place and ask about resizing, but they told me that since we bought the bands in Italy, the gold there and the gold here is different, so if they were to add gold to make the ring larger but keep the same width, we'll see a mark were the different metals join. We talked about just enlarging the ring, but that will make it thinner and it's not very thick to begin with....I don't want it to disappear!!!! My other choice was to buy a new ring, but hubby really liked the fact that our bands matched perfectly, so the only way to go was to buy new bands for both of us and that's what I did.

I ordered from OrienJewel on Artfire. She was quick, efficient and very helpful. I decided to go with titanium because is lightweight, cheap and very durable. I picked the simplest and cheapest design in the store, but there is a lot of styles to choose from.

I tied them up to a mini heart pillow with the date embroidered on it to look like digital numbers as hubby is a computer geek. After we exchanged the new bands, I used the pillow to store the old ones as a keep sake....you know, in case hubby gets thinner again lol
