- I purchased the Laser Hair Removal Groupon a couple weeks ago but cannot get up the nerve to actually make the appointment. I mean, I hate needles --- I cried like a baby when I was forced to take an additional measles shot when I was 19 (yeah, I know laser treatment isn’t NEEDLES but I’m just trying to give you a measuring stick for my pain tolerance. It’s low.) So, now every time I think about calling and making my first appointment I immediately get sweaty and nervous. I think Hubs is gonna have to go with me….isn’t that why women get married? So, they have someone to drag along on scary (albeit elective) appointments?
- Fusion is working. I know it. I can feel it in my legs and butt and shoulders and abs. And I’ve noticed that every time I think I’m building up some sort of tolerance to the level of Fusion I’m doing there is a more advanced modification; and so begins the pain all over again. I think that is why I love it. When I started the only parts that got sore were my back, abs, and shoulders. But the stronger I get the more deep I can feel the exercises. It’s like a light goes off and I can finally understand what the exercise is SUPPOSE to feel like and I feel like such a dumbass because I’ve been actively participating in the exercise without being able to tell which part it was suppose to be working. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t strong enough to work the parts intended or maybe it just takes a bit of practice. Either way, it’s working. I can tell--even if the scale doesn’t agree with me….
- Hubs and I’s relationship feels good. We are as happy as we’ve ever been. Or at least I am. It’s amazing how putting a little bit of distance (aka independence) on things makes such a big difference. I feel like I’ve owned the things I want to be doing: Pilates, reading, school, running, and not worrying so much about our schedules lining up. Which in turn has basically put the urgency on him and he responded right away! I felt the shift immediately and I have to admit…it feels kinda good
- Our finances have been locked down. Hubs got his allowance and he finally seems to own the amount. Before, he would qualify purchases (food, drinks, snacks, exercise, misc crap) item by item and day by day whether they fell in the allowance or debit card category. But now, EVERYTHING falls in allowance and it makes a difference since I do't have to log in to see what he's spent before we go to dinner or something. The Carter Family has two major financial priorities right now: paying down bills and buying a house. I think if we can keep up this pace we will be out of debt and living the American dream in no time; although I’m not sure the 2.5 kids fit in our plan so we might just have 1 or 2 (depending on the sex of the first one) and let Juls/Bret have the our extra 1.5/.5--then they can have an even 3 or 4. That sounds easier than trying to have ½ a kid…I hope Juls and Bret appreciate our generosity!
Oh, and since you brought it up---kids. We're working on it (and that’s all I have to say about that)
