I don't understand the letters Nancy, but this is what they say I am....

Well, I think this is pretty fitting for me.

You Are An ENFJ

The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

In love, you are very protective and supporting.
However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud

What's new...

Well, nothing really. I keep coming back to my Blog with nothing to write about. Hoping to read about all the excitment in everyone elses world....seem to be pretty slow with everyone lately. The kids and I went to Norwich and stayed with my parents for a few nights, that was fun. We went to some garage sales and visited with my grandma. There was a small carnival going on as well a few towns over so we took the kids there. Summer is definatly coming to a close.

I love Summer but I think I am ready for fall. When we moved back to NY that was one thing I was SO looking forward to. The autumn in the northeast is just beautiful. The colors are amazing and the weather so brisk, and the fresh air.....I can't wait. Dalton goes back to school next Wednesday. He is excited. I am happy but not looking forward to the hectic schedule again.
I've been trying to do some major cleaning up. So far I have taken 2-3 garbage bags of clothes to a local church as well as a full box of window treatments that don't fit our windows here but did at our old house. I took a carload of stuff to a thrift store, and put a kids table,our old kitchen sink and an infant carseat base curbside which all were promptly scooped up without having to go to the landfill so that made me happy. I plan on participating in a HUGE consignment event with the rest of the kids stuff I need to get rid of. Made some decent money at it in the spring. If you have kids you should see if anyone around you ever does this because you can get rid of SO much stuff and get more money back than you would at a traditional consignment shop. Google consignment event for your area and see if you can find one....definatly worth the time of dragging EVERYTHING out, because it will sell!
I will continue to jump around here....anyway check this guy out

I thought this was the most demonic looking goat I have ever seen! This guy lives at the Lolly Pop Farm humane society. This place is great, its a non kill shelter and has everything from cats and dogs to horses and goats. You can adopt or just visit.
Old age is finally creeping up on Nico.(This is our black dog for those of you not totally sure) I finally had to buy her some suppliments. She limps around a bit, so I started giving her glucosomine/chondriten and it seems to help a bit. I wish she wasn't getting old.
Well I suppose I have rambled enough. Dalton got a haircut today and the kids are getting photos taken tomorrow so I will post those when I get them. I hope everyone is doing well. Stay in touch.

It's Saturday...I am tired.....but still losing!

Ok. Well in a few minutes I am off to get weighed. I have to take the kids with me today and we are taking the car. Usually I walk or ride my bike but we are all still groggy (it is just now 8:10am) and I have to pick up a few things from the grocery store anyway.

SO....

Not much new around here. Dalton has been invited to and went to a birthday celebration at the local amusement part and we had a big playdate yesterday with some of his friends from school---that was a lot of fun. BUT, I was a little dissappointed that nobody commented on my weight loss :( I really thought someone would notice. Oh well.


Ok, so after NOT losing or gaining anything last week, I lost another 3 pounds this week!!! bringing the new total to 17.5 pounds gone!!!!

I didn't make my goal of 20 pounds by the 18th, but I'm close so I am not upset about it.
