After freezing my toes off 2 nights in a row, I finally broke down and turned on the heater this morning. I love the winter.. I LOVE sleeping with the windows open and letting the crisp cool air in but when I wake up and my feet are FROZEN and the temp in the house is 59 degrees, it's time. They issued a freeze warning tonight so it's probably best that I did...lol. My poor child has been doing her yearly begging for me to turn it on for a week now and I hesitate every year. I want to get the most out of the fresh cool air as I can. I noticed yesterday as I was out and about that even though the weather was in the HIGH 60's, EVERY person I saw was buried in coats and hoodies with ear muffs and mittens on and just shivering. They act like they are so use to the summers being 105 or more and when the temp drops below 80 it's cold. (actually, that is the honest truth.. but I am abnormal) Cold? Schmold... I'm lovin' it!
E is leaving today for their 2nd competition in robotics. I dropped her off at school last night for their final practice and went in to talk to her teacher and I was AMAZED! These kids built a robot out of scrap metal. It travels, has moving parts and picks up things... I could not believe it! I knew they were building one but had NO IDEA it was as awesome as it is. This school is awesome!!! The competition they are going to tomorrow will determine if they get to go to regionals in Arkansas in December. If so, I am totally taking a video camera. I have already taken the time off at work and am prepared for fun so GO LAAS LOBOS!!! Beat them all (cuz I wanna go to regionals).
Ok, now for Obagi stuff. Here is day 20.I still don't know how much I am liking this system and don't think I am at the point yet to where I could recommend it to anyone but I have seen a few changes. All of my dark spots are fading and I have felt a little tightening in and around my eyes and forehead. The wrinkles in my forehead are not near as deep and around my eyes feels alot better... not where I want it to be yet but i am only 20 days into the 60. The peeling isn't too bad however I did have to lay off of one of the night creams (well, i kinda conveniently forgot to use it two nights in a row) because the peeling/flaking describes it better/ around my lips and chin were getting kinda heavy. But it's still very manageable right now. I don't expect it to get much worse. I will use the night cream 5 out of the 7 nights and it works good for me. My face is also starting to feel alot smoother which is nice. Overall, I am still not totally sold on it but I am only 1/3 way into it. I will keep you updated!
And for a final note. I will be changing my email address the first week in November. ATT Yahoo/sbcglobal really upset me 2 weeks ago and after spending 3 days on the phone with them because I could not connect my desktop online. They got me hooked up through dial up which will now not work on my router which will now not allow me to connect wirelessly with my laptop and they said that was all they could do for me.... I'm calling bull hockey on that one. It is their Internet service that is the problem. I do not pay dial up fees, I pay for high speed. It has never given me problems before and now that it is, I am expected to take the word of an outsourced techie geek that cannot even speak my language who says that they can't do anything to help me fix THEIR problem? I think not. I am switching to cable Internet. It is local so if I have any problems, at least I know that I will be speaking to someone who knows English very well and lives in my city, in my own state and in my own country, and can come to my own house if the problem cannot be fixed over the phone..... sorry, just a little frustrated! Needless to say, I will be sending out email notices soon. If you do not get a new email address notification from me sometime after the 4th, then PLEASE let me know and I will let ya know my new address.
One last picture of my sweet Toby boy peering out the storm door into the blustery cold day...(*rolling eyes...lol) Normally he is outside but since it's too cold, he is veggin out in the new warmth of the living room.
I'm off to go mow my parents 3 acres for the last time this year! Better grab my ear muffs and mittens....NOT!
