ALMOST TIME!

hey all, my computer at home is broken so excuse me while i check in to my blog at work... shhhh....
so, only 6 MORE DAYS until my husband is returned to me!!! he will be home for 29 days but i will clearly not be able to be off work for that long, but i will see him for most of it. we will be back home for the first week and then i will return here for work and he will stay there to shmooze with his family and friends. i will see him on the weekends and then the last week he will come back here and we will spend time together in as private as a way possible. the schedule is already filling up fast, as it always does when he's in town. while he is home we will have a party for him the first weekend, also his mother will get married and our goddaughter will have her first birthday party... so weekends are prime time for sure. he will finish up his back tattoo the first week and so far the rest of the time will be spent staring at people and probably eating.
speaking of which, i have succumed to the miracles of a fad diet. my scepticism has been rebuked as i have lost 6 pounds in 1 week on the south beach diet.. and that's with absolutely no exericse. so this is week 2 and i will be hitting the gym as much as possible in hopes that i'll lose at least another 6. horay for not being disgustingly chubby! i am mildly ashamed to admit that my heaviest to date has been 190 and i believe that was a stress-induced situation that started after he left. i am now sitting happily at 182 with more work to be done in the future. i was 160 when i got married and was not in any way toned, so i would be happy to be toned between 160-170... you know, fyi.
i plan to take lots of pictures when Charles is home so i will post them... assuming i have a computer that works at home. but i guess i can continue to be paid $15 an hour to play on the work computer.... horay!
