Wow has it really been since August since Ive posted? Damn. Im sure Ive lost all my followers lol.
Anyways, so whats new and exciting? Hmmm not to much it seems. Camping season is coming to an end. This weekend is our last camping weekend. And seeing as its going to be so friggin cold this weekend, we might just end up coming right home. We have had our camper on a seasonal site at Lake George Escape campground for the past five weekends. It been nice to have a little retreat to go to every weekend. We are definitely going to look into getting a seasonal site for next year for the whole season. Posssibly on Lake Sacandaga if we can find one thats reasonable. Its only about an hour drive there and its a really nice lake and we have a lot of friends who have summer cabins there to.
This years camping season has been pretty awesome. We've been to some really neat places and had alot of fun. We've definitely gotten alot of use out of the new camper this year thats for sure!
More to come....

I know I know its been forever! We've just been super busy this summer. Mainly doing a ton of camping. I posted on our Camping Blog today also!
So besides camping, we've been mainly just spending time with friends and family, working alot and enjoying the summer while its still here. I can't wait for Fall. Fall is my favorite time of year by far! It's so nice out and its gets to be that time where you can wear comfy sweaters :)
On the another note, we've been talking more and more about having a baby. Yes scary I know, super scary!!! But we are totally not getting any younger. Scott is 35 and I am 30, and will be 31 this year. yikes! I of course have a ton of concerns and worries, Scott feels it will all work out and we can handle it. Originally we were talking about perhaps planning for starting in the Fall but it kind of all rides on our living situation so we put that idea on hold for now. Scott has wanted a baby for a long time now, I have been on the fence for years but when I met him, I knew I could see myself having a family with him. He will be an amazing father. Hes so great with kids and kids just love him!
I admit I think about babies allllllllll the time lately. And it doesn't help that a ton of our friends either have babies, or are having a baby sometime soon. We we are literally surrounded by babies lol. I find myself surfing the net looking at baby furniture, reading baby forums, and oohing and awing over cute baby clothes. Again Yikes. For most of you who know me well you know I've never been like this. But it just seems like the more I think about it, the more I think there is never ever going to be the ideal time to have a baby. I have to trust that things will just fall into place and we will work it all out. I have an amazingly supportive wonderful husband who couldn't be more loving and excited to have a baby. I think maybe he thinks about it more than I do these days hahaha.
So for now we are making plans to be more prepared for this. I have a ton of books Im reading right now. My favorite is The girlfriends guide to being pregnant. Its a hilarious book that tells the truth about pregnancy and what to expect. I think its so far my favorite tool. Its beyond scary because it tells it how it is, but I think I need that so I know what to expect and dont hear it sugar coated. lol So right now were just trying to prepare ourselves :)
Stay tuned.....

So I don't know what is going on with me lately, but I totally have babies on the brain. I know Scott has been thinking about it alot lately, and i hate to admit it but so have I, alot! On my way to work this morning I actually said to myself "ya know, selling the motorcycle now I guess wouldn't be that big of a deal, We will probably have to sell them before we have a baby anyways, and we would maybe ride them for this season and then start trying to have a baby in the fall." AHHHHHHHHH what is wrong with me??? For anyone who has known me for a long time, they know I haven't ever been a fan of having a baby. I knew I wanted one eventually but I never have felt this way before. I use to see baby clothes in the store and gag but now I find myself looking at them and wanting to buy them. I find myself checking out cribs and kids bedroom furniture rather than Car parts and motorcycle upgrades!.
Truthfully in my mind, right now isnt the time at all to even think about it. I don't think we are financially ready to have a baby. But everyone I talk to says noone is ever totally ready. That somehow everyone makes it work. That everything will fall into place. I hope that will be the case. I also don't feel very smart on the subject of babies. From Conceiving to raising , I just feel so dumb in that department. Which is why I guess lately I find myself buying baby books on amazon alot! I just want to know more. Maybe if I know more on the subject , it won't scare me so much.
So I guess Im going to talk to Scott tonight about us maybe making some kind of a plan to start trying in the fall. But we'll see. He might even say this year isnt the right time. Who knows. Maybe this is just a passing phase for today. I don't know. All I know is I find myself thinking about it more than anything else lately. And besides being terrified, it kind of feels nice to think about it! :)

So after watching Twilight for the gazillionth time, I have to say, It is starting to get on my nerves! I am starting to pick it apart and compare it way to much to the books so I've decided to try and not focus so much on it. That and I won't be posting as much on here about Rob or New Moon. I guess it was just time to say goodbye to my obsession. lol
My new obsession is Camping in our new camper!
Thats our new camper! Well its preowned. 2004 Trail Cruiser. We get to pick it up this Saturday. I can't wait to pull all of our camping gear in it. I'm so excited!!! :) We are taking our first camping trip with it May 1st at the Northhampton Campground on Sacandaga lake. I can't wait. It seems so far away. A whole month before we can go camping. But most camp grounds aren't even open until May anyways. I am more excited about Memorial Day. We are camping at Wells on our old camp site we use to camp at when we were kids. That will be so much fun!! I love camping, its so relaxing. No agenda, just sitting back, enjoying the fire and not having a care in the world! Its a super cheap way to vacation to. Just pack the camper with some stuff and hit the road!!! We are definitely going to be camping pretty much every weekend I think. Which is fine by me. I just feel bad that my motorcycle may get neglected this year lol.

So I seem to be doing well with my 30 days without. I haven't been near fast food which is definitely a good thing. Ive been bringing my lunch or if I have to go out and get something, I stay clear of craptastic fried badness!
I so am ready to be done with this day! I've decided to fill the remaining hour of my day, oogling Rob photos and just generally day dreaming about warmer weather and riding. Im so jonesin to get the bike out. I can't wait for April. It can't come soon enough!

100 Calorie pack Twinkies and Strawberry cupcakes are ridiculously scrumptious!!! I've seen commercials for them and always think about picking them up the next time that I go to the market, but I always seem to forget. But the other night I finally remembered and grabbed some. They are the perfect size when you just crave something sweet and yummy. Sometimes I just crave something sweet. And since I put cookies and sweet sugary goodness items on my "30 days without", these are a great way for me t0 feel like I'm cheating when really I'm not. :)
In Migraine news, I broke down and went to my Doc's yesterday afternoon. She gave me a shot in my arm to stop the throbbing in my head. Ugh that is the worst pain ever. It just wouldn't stop pounding. I felt like someone had wrapped my head with a rope and kept tugging on it tightly. After the shot I felt a little out of it. I hate shots , they make me really uneasy. I know they only last for a few seconds but I just hate them. I'm just not a fan of needles!
After the shot, I picked up my meds at rite aid and climbed into bed for a few hours. When I woke up I was feeling soooooooo much better but I was terrified that the shot would wear off. And it did. By 9 pm my migraine was on its way back. I just don't understand how and why it wont go away. Ive never had one this long. It makes me worried that maybe its more than a migraine. I think I need to see a neurologist to be sure.
On a happier note, today is Friday and I'm hoping it goes smoothly so I can go home and relax tonight with my wonderful hubby!

Wow I realized today just how long it has been since I actually have written a post about something other than Twilight. So that said, here is my first post back!
For starters I have been extremely unhappy with myself lately. I blame myself entirely for this unhappiness. I was doing so well months before the wedding. Eating healthier, working out almost everyday, and seeing a trainer. I promised myself that after the wedding, I would not under any circumstances fall off the wagon and indeed I broke my own promise. So here I am, 30 and completely disappointed in how I am managing my weight and addressing my personal fitness. That said, I have decided I can not wait a minute longer to start maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
My main problem, is snacking. I am a snackaholic. I fully admit it. When I'm bored, I find that I am scouring my kitchen for anything to munch on to keep me occupied. In an effort to prevent that, I am throwing away every last unhealthy snack I have in my house tonight. Usually when I am in need for something crunchy to snack on, pretzels do the trick nicely, but I rarely ever have them on hand. I usually have a plethora of crappy unhealthy chips, popcorn's and cookies, but from now on, i NEED to keep pretzels around. Not only are they great in moderation,but fill me up fast and after the tenth little pretzel I am already tired of snacking and find myself wondering why I was hungry in the first place.
My second immediate action is to get my lazy ass back to the gym into my routine. I had a great workout that my trainer Clark created for me and not only did it make me feel absolutely amazing when I was done, but it targeted all the areas of my body that I hate. The workout lasted a little over an hour and then I would do cool down exercises and stretching for another 20 minutes. I always went home feeling great and I had more energy and wasn't so tired all the time like I am now. Of course on the day that I am actually dying to get to the gym tonight and get started, I end up having the worst migraine Ive ever had, ever. So unless a miracle happens in the next two hours, and it magically goes away, I will be starting back at the gym first thing tomorrow. :)
How did I get this Migraine? Well Friday night as we are about four minutes from our hotel in PA, We get re-ended by some idiot lady who claimed she was just really tired from taking care of her 5 kids and working her 4 jobs, that she just didn't pay attention and decided not to stop. The impact was unbelievable. I swore that when I got out of my car to access the damage to my three week old new car, that the whole back end would be destroyed. To my surprise her car was the destroyed one and mine got away with a cracked and dented bumper cover. Amazed!!! My new baby holds up nice. Scott said she had to at least be going 30 miles an hour when she hit us, and as soon as we got slammed, I got an instant headache that has not gone away since. And seems to be getting progressively worse. I was hoping it would just go away on its own, but since it doesn't seem to be giving me a break, I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow about it.
My new years resolution of starting 2009 out in a good healthy way slowly went down hill and I admit I was starting to fall into a deep depression about myself. Being hard on myself is something I have perfected well, but I need to start being more positive and tell myself that theres always ways to improve oneself. It may not be overnight but it can be done!!! So I think I'm going to also start my "30 days without" again. It seemed to work really well last time I did that. But this time I'm going to up the stakes and choose three things to do without for 30 days!
This next 30 days I will be without the following:
~McDonald's
~Chips
~Cookies/sweets
I am taking tonight to sleep off this stupid migraine and am allowing myself my favorite quick dinner, Kraft Mac n cheese. It will be hard to say good bye to that one since its one of my ultimate faves and its a quick dinner when your in a bind. I always make it the healthier way that is listed on the box, but still, its not a healthy dinner by any means. So Its my last box for a while. I will cherish it tonight that's for sure!
Stay tuned for more.... :)
