Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Random Things About Suz



1. Of all the flowers in the world, simple Daisies are my favorites. Coming in at a close second are Pink Roses with Yellow trim.

2. In the last 2 months I have formed a close unexpected bond with my dentist.

3. Which I much rather not have. I have been there so far 5 times to fix my messed up teeth and have another appointment next week. "Is thinking she should of become a dentist with the money they make!"

4. I have volunteered for so many thing at Littleman's school during the next 2 months that I might as well just become a student there.

5. Don't get me wrong I love to volunteer and help out in my kids schools. Its always nice to know what is going on but do you ever notice its always the same ones that volunteer?

6. Things I offered to help with ... Book Fair, Easter Party (supplying paper goods, making cupcakes), helping make field day T-shirts (have to bring in my iron and ironing board), Field Day itself and help to make sets for the play for Graduation.

7. Why do I always get suckered into these things ... Because I love my kids and like to see whets going on in their lives.

8. After 9 months of the "beloved" furniture saga I wrote about here, the saga has finally come to an end. I ended up getting the same style couch except in an olive green color. I went through so much with that furniture store and will never use them again.

9. I joined an all female gym on Feb. 3rd. Its similar to the chain Curves but a lot more personal and offers more equipment. The lady that opened it up 3 months ago wanted to give women a personalable place they can go to workout and that she has.

10. I try to go there atleast 4 times a week, sometimes 5, working on all parts of my body. I cant even begin to tell you how good I feel since I have been doing this and its been great for my arthritis in my joints from my Lupus. Clothes are loser but the owner only measures & weighs you once a month so I wont know until next week how iam actually doing.

11. I have also started NurtiSystem food program a little over 2 weeks ago. I do 5 days on, weekends off, but still eat healthy. I do enjoy this program a lot but not sure if its going to be affordable so I have been writing down stuff like how much calories, protein, fiber and so on are in each foods so that if I go off of the program know what kind of foods to buy.

12. I have to drive to the airport this weekend. Cant even tell you how much I hate this drive into this part of Atlanta. My older 2 are going to New York for 4 days to see their father. They so don't want to go, its a whole control thing on my ex's part, a very long story.

13. Yesterday I had fun digging in the dirt with my Littleman. He has to bring in "live" stuff from nature today for "Nature" show & tell. The teacher said they could bring in bugs, worms, seeds, flowers, grass and so on. Littleman has a nice collection of 2 worms in dirt (not sure how much longer they will make it), those boogers were fast and hard to catch, some moss, 2 purple flowers, rose leaves, a pinecone and of course the yucky dandelion. Atleast the weather has turned nice and it was 73 degrees and sunny and suppose to do the same today!

Good for you on the gym membership and healthy eating plan! And I think it is wonderful that you are so involved in your kid's school. Of course you are hyperextended but they will appreciate it forever and just as you said, now you can keep tabs on what they are doing during the day. I think it's really important and really good.

The gym! WOW! I wish I could do that. And great for volunteering; something else I don't do enough of. BUT I'm always up for field trips!

Are you talking about Peace roses? I love those - they're one of my favorites. They have been favorites of all the women in my family.. and we saved a bush from my great-grandmother's garden.. until Poppy accidentally dropped a tree on it!

That is so great you're getting over your fear of the dentist. No longer an anti-dentite!

Yay on joining the gym and nutrisystem. Good for you. I'm too lazy. How sad!

How fun to dig in the dirt with little man! And volunteering... it's overwhelming, but so good to be involved. I miss it. Playing around with Jacob and volunteering at school. Ugh.

I love daisies, too. They're my mom's favorite. My uncle (her brother) used to send them to her for birthdays and when she was sick and in the hospital a lot. He passed away 12 years ago. So we always think of Henny when we see daisies!

Happy T13! Mine are up!

I hear ya about stretching myself with saying "sure", "Yes", "why not", "Ok", "if you have noone else", "just this once"...

My oldest starts Kindergarten in August, and I'm the type to get roped into too much volunteering too. I'll have to watch myself. Great job on the exercise and eating healthy!

I like reading this random list of things. I'm sorry the kids have to go to NY, sorry you're going to be driving when you don't want to. Good for you on the gym and how often you go ~ way to go! Now give me some of that motivation!!

Congrats on the exercise project. Sounds like you are into it.

Man, everytime I go to the book fair at the school I end up spending way too much. I love the fact that my kids love books and love to read but I get carried away.
