Summer Fun

I rarely have pictures of myself, so here is a special one of Little Bit and I in the back of a military vehicle sorta like a tank at the family picnic.  It's called a Stryker and it has wheels instead of tracks.

I'm linking this photo of Little Bit and I to the following parties:

Check It Out!

I'm almost under 200lbs!!!  Take a look for yourself here!  See?!  So, without further ado...

You're Invited!!!


I weighed in today and wouldn't you know it?  I am only 13lbs away from being UNDER 200lbs!  At the rate I've been losing, I think I will be throwing my party by August!  I hope you'll come and party with me.  If you would like, you can grab my party button from the bottom of this post to help spread the word!  It will encourage me to keep working toward my goal if I know people are raring and waiting for my Under 200 Pounds Party!  {Hmmm I should think up a better name for it... lol}

Mamarazzi Monday June 28

Mamarazzi Monday
Little Bit is just growing up by leaps and bounds!  He has mastered several new skills in the last week alone.  He is sitting up on his own (those pics are still in the camera), he's cut three teeth,

he's playing with toys that actually do something,

he's sitting in a highchair to feed himself,

he's drinking (clumsily but learning) from a cup,

and he's even brushing his own teeth!
{okay, so that last one is more like teething on his toothbrush... but it's working! lol}

We're so proud of him!  But it's also a little sad for a mommy...  I'm just glad I had the camera ready!

Random Thoughts

...that should probably be tweets or FB statuses or something... but I'm a blogger dang it!
  • Either I am really stalling getting my homework done, or Disney movies are a lot shorter than I remember.  Seriously, Sleeping Beauty ended way too fast... I don't wanna do my homework!  I think it's the Disney movie.  They can't be too long or kids wouldn't watch them... right?  Think about it though, how many times has your kid seen Toy Story?  Now, how many times has s/he seen the ending?  Hmmm okay, maybe I am stalling...
  • When the Malt -O-Meal box says microwave 1 min and stir, then microwave for 1-2 more mins stirring every 30 seconds... it does not mean, be lazy and let it go for a minute after you get tired of stopping and stirring.  The box writers know what they are talking about.  I ate lumpy malt-o-meal for dinner tonight.
  • On that note... when you have just had your gallbladder removed, to which end your body can not regulate bile for a few weeks, and your Dr says NOT to eat pizza until 2 weeks out... and even then, only eat ONE bite... It's safe to assume that eating two servings of Mac & Cheese 1 1/2 weeks out will NOT set well with your tummy and you'll be eating lumpy malt-o-meal for dinner instead of baked chicken and rice like your hubby got to eat.
  • I really should be finishing my quizzes I got behind on because I had a surgery.  I got 3 done last night along with my outline.  Two more today and finish my exam.  I can do it!  ...that is if I can stop blogging and reading my comments.
  • I shouldn't have signed up for a yahoo account for my comments... it DINGS every time I get one and I HAVE to click on the little mail symbol and read your lovely thoughts on my writing.
  • Posting this will likely get more DINGS.... oh I hope so!  No stop that!  Go do homework!

Pink Saturday June 26

{This is a scheduled post.  If you are visiting for the Mad Tea Party, please click here or scroll down one entry.}
 Head over to our Hostess' blog to see all the wonderful pink pictures!

I am healing up nicely from my surgery.  Thank you all for your prayers and support. 
 {Pink mini roses my mom bought me while I was in surgery along with my wedding photo album and new wire teapot from JoAnn's}

I've found some pink motivation to get me ready for the next couple of weeks.  I've been taking it easy for three weeks now so it's time to ease back into my old regular routine... maybe even add some new things like my elliptical!  {Mine is not the pink one... but it was only $15 so woot woot!  Maybe I'll spray paint parts of it pink...}

A Mad, Mad Tea Party





Unfortunately I am still restricted to a low fat diet and recovering from my surgery so I wasn't able to have my own tea party. *sniffle*  I had planned on making all kinds of cuppy cakes that look like other foods to celebrate A Fanciful Twist's 3rd Annual Festival of Madness...


So instead, and to cheer myself up, I popped in my brand new copy of Alice In Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp, and did some google searching for some awesome Mad Tea Parties to share with you!  Enjoy!
I can't wait until next year when I can actually host my own mad tea party!

Favorite Kitty Friday

 This is Yarr Kitty!  Shadow likes to ride on his daddy's shoulders like a pirate's companion.
See that look on his face?  That's his normal countenance... lol
Come to think of it... I get that face from my Hubby a lot too.  Neither are big fans of having the mamarazzi around.

Click here to see more adorable kitties! You can even link yours up too.

Friday Fun!

It's time for Friday Fun!  Please hop on over to my dear host(esse)s' blogs and give them some love!
The Girl CreativeFollowMeFridaysfriday-followbadge

If you are new here, Welcome!  I'm Jeannette.
This is DH.
And this is Little Bit.

Here at Counting Our Blessings you will find memes... lots of memes... most having to do with pictures of my family.  You can check them all out on my left sidebar under "Weekly Posts Sponsored By".  One of them, Motivation Monday, is my meme.  I am on a journey to a healthier me.  At my heaviest, while pregnant I was 270 and suffered from gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.  I had been losing weight slowly before I became pregnant, but now I know what lays ahead of me if I don't step up my game!  I am seeking to be healthy for me, my husband, and our children {we plan to have a couple more one day :0P}.  I hope you'll join me each Monday and link up so we can motivate each other.  Your post doesn't have to be about weight loss.  You can post about anything at all that you need some motivation to finish.

Some of my friends' favorite posts so far are:

If you are an old friend, welcome back love!  I am so glad to see you again.  Please come have a cup of tea or coffee.  I just put some brownies in the oven; they ought to be ready soon.
