Ok, so what's up ....

Dang, the Red Jeep Club is started to feel like "my" blog! No one posts and no one bothers to read my posts. Am I really that boring? Am I just typing to practice typing? Is this a strike of some kind against the lovely, gorgeous, magnificent me? You're crushing my ego here. But does that dampen my urge to type some more....heck no!!!
Well, Miss D and I took our road trip (so we flew...big deal, it's still a road trip) to Fairbanks. And did we have a great time! North Pole, shopping, Santa's house, shopping, Chena Hot Springs, shopping, North Lights watching, shopping! Did I mention we did a little shopping? The girl has got it down. Boy, can she search for a bargain. 8 yrs old and she's a pro. Her Mama has taught her well. And laugh, we giggled about the silliest things until I thought we would cry. D was totally in awe of Santa's house. We had to go back a second time, she enjoyed it so much. Even got to see two of Santa's reindeer. the others were resting up for the big day later this month. Naturally, we did the girlie thing and were up late every night talking and talking about nothing in particular - just enjoying our time together. So anyway, we're back home and we're planning our next big adventure. Any ideas?
Weather update: the horrible winds died down and it was freezing cold, well below zero for several days, then it warmed up and the snow came. Ok, then it warmed up some more and the snow is melting and freezing at night and guess what..the damned wind is back again! Do you see a pattern here? I know, I know, it's Alaska.
Christmas shopping is almost done and will be in the mail soon. Just a couple more things to get for the kiddo's and then the wrapping begins.
Hope L is doing better. S, take care of the guy....he's only man and we all know they are big babies at heart.
Lates update: it's official; I've now lost 10.4#!!!!! I'm so excited. This ww thing really, truly does work.
Hope all is well with everyone in Ohio. Take care, be happy and keep in touch!
Love you all!

Sorry but I haven't posted in forever. I guess the newness has worn off. I do still check this one though so I am reading just not commenting alot. Sorry :(

Anyways, glad you and D had a fantabulous trip. Congratulations on the poundage loss. WW does work...I need to get back to it. We have all agreed to settle down and really get serious after the first of the year. Now that doesn't mean that I'm going crazy now...I'm still maintaining....but I want to lose again and in keeping with reality I know that I can't lose during Christmas. My goal is to not GAIN during Christmas and then start losing. See, I have a plan. I still workout 4-5 days a week and that really helps.

We got the package yesterday. We are all looking forward to Christmas. L & S will be at home Christmas Eve night so we will open presents, go to midnight mass and then probably come home and open more presents. L might stay over (on the couch) so he can enjoy the Christmas morning cinnamon rolls. They will go to his family in the early afternoon and be back at 5 for Christmas dinner with us & my sister & girls. I think your brother really likes L. He shopped & wrapped his gifts and that's been done for weeks now. We couldn't have asked for a better man for S to meet. They are really very cute together....but you already know that.

Well, I better get back to work. Talk to you again soon. Love you, miss you & have a Merry Christmas. SA (I have to do this anonymously because I can't remember my password)
