Isn't that crazy? Hear me out. I had (what I thought was) an appointment today to get my wisdom teeth extracted. When I called to confirm the appointment I was informed the appointment was not for the extraction but a consultation. I have taken off work and built my schedule around getting my teeth extracted this weekend because I can't afford to have another block of 4 days to lay around the house high and in pain till quite literally next year. Check it: I am hosting the last hoo-rah next weekend, a Wig and Wine party. The following week I begin my CPA review which will last till July. Then we go on out Scandanavia trip and won't be back till late August. By then it is fiscal year end and audit season followed immediately by the holidays. It's crazy!
I was able to get an appointment for tomorrow with another dentist all the same so that's good. It actually turned out for the best because it gave me tonight to catch up on homework, posting, blogging, getting all my diet stats in the NS website, and just enjoy a quiet night at home. I am looking forward to having the weekend to play Little Big Planet. That's all I'm going to do. My laundry is done, my homework is mostly done, my work is done, I really have nothing to do but wallow. Awesome.
I am reading two books: Diet Girl and Why We Suck. Both are good books, very light reading. I can read it for hours straight or only a few pages at a time.
In other news, I am finally above water at work. Not just on top of it, above it. It feels nice to have the time to get to back burner projects. I'm excited to both move the company forward the next few months (on the accounting front) but also let the books coast while I focus on the CPA.
On the diet front I have lost about 8 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Dane has lost over 20 since mid-December. We have been very good a sticking to the diet, only cheating for one meal a week. We've also been hitting the gym 6 days a week for an hour and a half each day. It's not as bad as it sounds. We've gotten into a routine and I love it. I don't like waking up early but I have to admit it is kinda growing on me. It's really nice to have my workout done and over with and I've noticed other benefits like increased energy thorought the day and I sleep better at night. Waking up at 5:15 is not as hard as waking up at 8, as weird as that may seem. It must be because I'm in a different sleep cycle or something.
I enjoyed watching the inauguration the other day. What an amazing event to watch. To be there for. I love listening to Prez Obama talk - he's such a great speaker. I feel like he will bring this country around but I also understand that he is only one man and he's only as strong as the weakest link. It's really up to the people of this country to pull it together. We'll see. I'm hopeful, excited, and for the first time patriotic. I am PROUD to be an American.

oh lovey, good luck on the wisdom teeth extraction! Remember to stay hydrated so you don't get dry socket.
Congrats on the 8 lbs. You so rock, I know you can reach that size 10 goal of yours.
I'm also rather impressed by the 5:15 action, I've always admired those who can get to the gym early in the day, I've tried it but I find I'm not "warmed" up enough in the early AM to get a good work out in. But that's just me. Mostly, I'm impressed because I know how little you enjoy being up before the sun :) Good on you momma.
Looks like another eventful year in the life of Crystal J Ewers-Huish!
You truly do rock. I am VERY impressed you get up and go to the gym that early, I have always been very admiring of people who make that commitment.
If I got up that early, a few scenarios could apply. 1) I would be so in la-la land I would totally forget where I was going, and quite possibly get in an accident. 2) If I actually made it to the gym, I would probably fall asleep on the excercise bike/weight bench/yoga mat. (In real life, I have fallen asleep in 2 of the 3 above place)
