The New Diet...

I'm quite excited to share that I'm finally ready to take the steps needed to get my ass back in shape. I've let it slide a little too long, and I'm bummed that some of my favorite clothes can't be worn because my ass is too large for them!

I've got a great wardrobe a couple sizes smaller than I am right now, and damn it, it's time I did something about this!

SO... I start my new diet and workout plan Sunday. I'm giving myself one last weekend of silliness, then BAM, taking it to the next level.

I'm currently pudgy, and wish to be svelte once again. That is all for tonight, as my eyelids are drooping and it's beyond my bedtime.

Some of my newest lyrics...to my newest song...:)

....Love... it's a blessing to share and receive... from friends, family and strangers on the street. A smile, a touch, or a warm embrace, it's the light of love that shows us God's grace. ...

I'll post one of me playing it soon- gotta borrow a guitar for recordin'...

And... hey here's another little tidbit from me...


I've loved and lost, I've loved and shown men the door, but through all the heartaches and breaks, I learned to love myself more. :)

Lights, Camera, Action

We started our morning early today, and me with a late night last night. Madelyn and Kaitlyn are part of a movie called Blue Valentine. I'm typing this from the holding room after they just finished filming a scene where they were leaving the building with their "parents"..

I don't know much about the movie, other than it's supposed to be a love story and has Ryan Gosling in it. He's cuter in person. Taller than I thought he'd be.

The girls are dressed in red, white and blue and will later be part of a musical number. It's a compilation of Yankee Doodle and My Country Tis Of Thee. All the kids are so cute and it's really a lot of fun to be here with them getting the chance to be in this movie. Sure, they're just extras, but it will be cool to see the movie on the big screen.

We are on the move again...

Now the girls are back in the auditorium that they set up so cute, all patriotic with silver hanging stars and a flag background... they're going to be filming the musical number now, and all the parents have been shuffled back to the holding area. While watching them rehearse earlier, Miss Madelyn was quite the showman, just like she does at home. Kate did a great job too, she's in the back row, standing... and Madelyn is in the middle row, smack in the middle, kneeling- she gets on her knees and sits up so straight, and squares right off without being told, she really looks like she knows what she's doing, and like she's been doing it for years.

I guess this is partly why she talks to my bedroom mirror whenever she comes up to talk to me, she's staging herself even with simple conversations with me. Still really cute.

The food here is great, they're feeding us all well. There has been an ample supply of chips and such for all the kids to knosh on.

So far, I've had two celebrity spottings, Michele (can't remember her last name right now even though I know it- she was married to Heath Ledger) and Ryan Gosling. We've had very little interaction with either, but Ryan seems to be more personable in general. Everyone just rushes around, then waits, rushes around then waits.

Either way, it's been a really fun day, and the kids have had a blast. Kaitlyn has made a new friend, and Madelyn plays her friend's sister in one scene. I think it's because they're both wearing white dresses.

More to come later, I'm off to play on facebook and then hopefully find a plug so I can maintain my internet fix.

School's Out... for the summer!

And we're planning our get away! More details about our trip, and the bulk of my blogging this summer will be done on www.singlemomroadtrip.com. I am currently looking for donations and selling a sponsorship to help defray the cost of our travels.

Our budget is a tight one though, and the majority of our spending will be done for lodging/campgrounds (I'm packing up a "camp kitchen"). In addition, we'll be spending most of our time with family and friends to cut down on the financial burden. The first three weeks of our trip are "lodging free".

Anyway... you'll be able to see videos and photos from our trip being uploaded, and we also have a fan page on Facebook, so you can follow us on Facebook as well! Just look up "SingleMomRoadTrip.com" if you're having trouble finding us.

I have six days to finish cleaning the house, packing up our things in the car, and figuring out the best way to store all the thing we need. More on that at the other blog too.

Some people think I'm crazy, but I am really excited for this adventure. It's one that I've always wanted to take... and I think it will be something that the kids and I remember and treasure for years to come.

My Boys being SILLY...

My Kids wanted their own YouTube account, as they LOVE watching iCarly, and have dreamed of their own show. Well, I caved. I figure as long as I know the passwords and have the ability to check it, it's better off if *I* have the control and can see what they're doing. They're happy to show it anyway.

Sigh... my kids are growing up. I remember making videos with my PXL2000... and cassette tapes. I just bought my kids an Acer Aspire One with a built in webcam, so times have definitely changed.

Back To My Normal, Crazy Self...

That week in TN was great for me. The kids played, I sat by the pool and tanned, laughed and had a wonderful time with some of my dear friends. My friend Todd cheered me up just by being his crazy self and there was even a love connection between my friend Todd and my friend Laura, who also spent a lot of time at Todd's place while we were there.

All in all, a very positive trip.

I'm back, and back to normal... which for me is always perfectly imperfect. The art turned out awesome, so I'm excited for that too.

Takin' Off To Tennessee...

I decided yesterday I needed to surround myself with the one person who loves me and my absolutely crazy self - even when I'm having a moment like this. The one person who takes the clouds in my soul and shoos them away, leaving only my soul to shine brightly again - just by being in his presence. I know I do the same for him.

I'm not telling people I'm heading south, I called him and he told me to "C'Mon!".... to bring the kids and he's got plenty of room... and we'll just hang out and let them play and sit and talk. He lives on a bunch of land, out in the country just outside of Nashville... and honestly, I need to just sit around in the backyard with him and hang. He's got his kids rooms with extra beds, and said he had seven kids at the house this past week... so he told me to get in the car and head on down.

I'm in. Maybe I can even try to squeeze in a few interviews while I'm down there with the kids. I might bring my plants down too, and plant some in his yard...Hm. This could be exactly what I need to pull myself out of my funk. We'll see.
