It's birthday time again.

Well, it's that time of year again. My birthday. Usually I don't focus too much on it. It's just a reminder that I'm a year older and still not where I wanted to be. But I'm looking at it a little differently this year, I guess.

So how was the 26th year of my life? Not too shabby. We did move into the smaller apartment, and I was starting to save to move into a house. I started new meds which seemed to bring a sense of normalcy to life. I discovered painting classes, and have started to fill my walls with art. We made a new friend in a neighbor. Hubs and I made a drastic change in our relationship that has turned our world upside down for the better. Instead of moving into a house, we joined forces with our neighbor and got a bigger apartment! We saw some great concerts and celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I became vegetarian for a while, and really enjoyed it. I plan to go back.

Now, as I sit here, 2 days from my 27th birthday, I wonder what the year will bring. 30 seems to be coming faster, and I wonder if I've been enjoying my 20s to the full extent I should have. I don't think so. The first couple of years that Hubs and I were together, we spent a lot of time out having fun. Then I got depressed and it stopped. I'm getting back to normal, and we've been having more fun. We're getting back to the happy people we used to be, which is nice. So maybe I'll make up for some bad years with a good year this time around. I've got my six flags membership, several concerts on the wish list, symphony tickets, and plans for the Ren Faire.

I started making a change today that'll get me more hours at work, so I can get back to full time. I've been struggling with working enough hours, but I'm changing my sleep schedule so I have more hours in the day to actually get crap done.

My goals for the year:
- Get my driver's license back
- Lose some weight
- Enjoy myself

Nothing too major expectation-wise. I just want this year to be a good year.

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...
