First 5 Give away - yay a prize, a present from me!

I read Lindsay's blog and signed up for something made by her. She had signed up under Serenity and I thought "how stinking cool is this?" Most have a sixth restriction stating that y ou have to pay it forward and offer the same thing on your blog or face book. I am not including that as I know some of my readers don't have these. If you want to offer something in your own way through email, blog, or whatever, that is up to you. Feel free to leave me a comment and try to be the first five.

First Five Gimme Gimme
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! my choice. for you. this offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. what I create will be just for you.
3. it’ll be done this year. {translation: you may be waiting a little while}
4. you have no clue what it’s going to be … it may be cards, a poem, a bookmark, something yummy or a complete surprise to you (and me!) … who knows? not you, that’s for sure!
5. i reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

I'm already thinking of so many fun things to make.

SICK, SICK, and Sick

Well, you can tell something was up as I haven't been on here. I cannot remember ever being as sick as I was. I think I had the full blowout flu. I started feeling sick on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday I had to call in and boy it started, Friday I felt a little better. I had dinner and walked for a mile and then that night got a relapse. I was worse on Saturday and Sunday then I had been earlier in the week. I feel better today, except I feel like a semi has run me over!
I have more to tell some great news and a give away but that will wait for tomorrow as I am dead on my feet or in my chair!
Love to all!

Basketball

We went to see the Mulberry HIgh School game. I had promised Connor that we would go to one, this was the last one. It was very good to see him play. He lives and breathes the game. He is just like another one of my kids. I had a really good time, sitting with Cindy and seeing some of the Mulberry natives that we used to see and visit with. There a couple of boys from Church on the team so it was nice to see them play also. The other team had a mentally challenged player and when they put him in it was awesome watching all the boys from both teams. Our boys stepped back when his teammates threw him the ball and he tried to make a basket. A few times it hit the rim and off . WHen he finally made the basket everyone in the gym celebrated! THe look on his face was priceless, my eyes filled while I watched him take in the moment. OUr boys won and did a super great job. I wish now that we had attended more of the games. Donnell says next year our Connor will be big man on the campus!(3 were seniors tonight)
Breakfast-none(I know bad)
lunch-6 inch sub
dinner- nachos bel grande
snack- only a couple of sugar free sweethearts
water-66 ozs
exercise-walked a mile and a half

I know I did not eat well this week, not by eating bad stuff, but by not eating enough

Sunday is weigh in day.

Valentine Delivery


Today at work I was preparing for my scrapbook class and I heard the door open. I looked up and saw the balloons and thought Tammy must be getting a delivery. I asked her if I could help her and she said,"I'm looking for Bridgette", I said,"Oh that's me, that's me!" I ran up to the front counter and thought, "who are they from?" I know you are probably thinking what?, but the girls have sent me flowers to work before, and I did not have a clue. Donnell had been there just a little bit before she came. I noticed the puupy sand"Love Machine"! I knew for sure who had sent it then. I cried, my darling man never ceases to amaze me. He is always suprising me and making me feel like a queen. People were asking why I got it early and I explained it was my last day to work this week. He wanted them delivered to be more special. He just kept smiling at me this evening. I love him completely. The girls and the patrons were talking about how he surprised me with deliveries all day on my anniversary in 2007, i mean every few hours something else would come in. He had the girls all helping him, Amy would send me to the back for a book and I would come back up front and there was something else. He is sure a great man. AMy said today that he was putting all the other guys in the dog house today!
The ladies loved the layout I taught them today. The batteries are dead in Serenity's camera. We were only able to get the shot of my gift, I will post them this weekend.
Breakfast-Smart ones egg and cheese breakfast sandwich
Lunch-lean pocket calzone
dinner-a light version-I don't remember which brand-clam chowder soup
snack-2 choc chip cookies(a patron brought each of us a pink goodie bag filled with stuff. I ate the cookies and left the rest there for them), a 100 calorie pack of popcorn
water-100 ozs.
excercise-none other than the up and down and running for the scrapbooking class.
I am off tomorrow, thank goodness. I want to do laundry-correction-I need to do laundry! I want o work on my craft room also.
Love to all!

I had a great day today! Wednesdays are my storytimes at 2 preschools and I love it! I took them Valentine cookies and they thought I was so cool! The library sent me to the bakery for them-I wasn't even tempted. There was cookies everywhere today but nope I didn't eat any!

a couple of handfuls of Josh and Brinaes' 100 calorie popcorn

excerise-just the running around in the library today-not enough

Jessie I LOVE the comments. I look for them everynight before I post. You keep me motivated girl and I love you so. To answer your question, the only thing I seem to be short of according to my Michael Thurmond is my protein and that is so important. I just didn't any already cooked to take with me these last few days.
Our weight loss support group went well tonight. I hope it keeps growing. I came home and watched our American Idol-love it!
I need to get to bed as I have to be at work early in the morning. It is scrapbooking day.

Oh I need to let everyone know Cassandra had tao take Aden to the emergency room last night. He was having an asthma attack and not breathing very well. He also has double ear infections and the flu. They are sending our a respiratory therapist to update his equipment and he has to have 4 breathing treatment a day- 2 of which are steriod ones. I didn't even know about any of this until tonight when I got home. I guess they called me at 11:30 last night but I did not hear the phone. My poor buddy, please keep him in your prayers. Thank you and know how much I love you all.
It looks like my brother, sisiter, and mom are coming for a visit-woohoo! I can't wait. I read my brother's email at work and yep started crying. I just love my family so much. I can not wait to see them.
Love to all!
