I DID NOT EAT CAKE OR PIZZA! A+++++

I am a ROCK STAR!  (Just in case you did not already know this... lol)  I went to a birthday party and did not eat ANYTHING but my diet Coke :)  I am SO proud of myself I could do a hand spring.  i skipped cake AND pizza!!!  On a less exciting note, I got smashed in the face playing laser tag :(  Hopefully the swelling will go down and it wont bruise :)  Dang it all the heck :p  Oh, and on a VERY EXCITING note, I majorly cleaned my family room this morning.  I started at 7:30 am and finished at about 1pm.  It looks SO good.  I went around the room and vacuumed and scrubbed every nook and cranny.  I haven't been able to clean like that since my accident last fall.  I emptied the vacuum 2 times and it needs it again.  I also got a new mirror to hang over the sofa.  THANK YOU TAMMY for your help picking it out :)

My Evil Plan is WOrkING!!! :D

Life is good :)  I'm pooped out.  We moved 2 sofas onto the trailer.  We moved two sofas into the basement.  We moved 2 sofas out of the basement.  It is nice to have some "newer" sofas for the family room.  They look SO much better than our old ones.  Happy day!  Oh, and I stuck to my daily ppv today :)  I did eat two of my activity points yesterday.  I forgot I had a small piece of sourdough bread that my friend made.  It was yummy, but I forgot about it until last night :(  It feels good to have a good day.  I'd better go switch the laundry and put my boys to bed.  My "big" boy, dh, is coming down with something and is already in bed.  I think it will be an earyly night for us all :)
