so much to do

this year instead of making new years resolutions, it's mostly "goals before baby gets here". and there is a list so long that i can't believe it. our biggest and top priority is to get rid of debt. we want to live within our means and have only those necessary bills left, like car insurance, phone bill, rent...you know. it's near impossible to accomplish in these next 4 months but with the help of tax returns, we'll be pretty darn close!

then of course there are those health goals we all have, and who doesn't have them when you've got a constantly stretching tummy?...and other things...
but my word, europe took a toll on me health wise and it is time to take control already!!! there are so many reasons to be healthy during pregnancy and i'm currently working on pulling in everything and anything motivating. the worst part? ...tis the season...

working for the government, we get soooo many deliveries this time of year. and normally i'd be all excited, a few treats here and there! but no. i am at the front desk and when these things come in they are for "the staff" and where do they go? OPEN and EXPOSED right here on my desk.  all of them. for me to see. and smell. and ...taste....

we get at least one huge basket a day, then multiple boxes of chocolates/carmels/nuts...this morning a HUGE box of see's chocolates came and i am so proud to announce my strength in having not yet partaken. but i've decided i really need to bring in some healthy things to curve this evil. i'll just start eating a cucumber or a tangerine when i feel that pull. someone give me some motivation.
