My Health:

So, After I was diagnosed with gallstones I stopped eating so much fat.  I ended up losing 15 lbs in almost as many days.  Then over the holidays, I didn’t stick to my diet and I gained 5 lbs back.  Well since New years, I’ve stuck to my diet much better and have lost 7 lbs so far.  I”m feeling really good, even cute!  So this whole “eating right” thing is working pretty nicely for me.

My Business:

On the business front, it’s been really great!  We keep getting more new customers, who LOVE us, and even though we’re supposed to be pretty slow, we’re no where near as slow as we thought we would be.  In fact, we’ve been pretty busy some days.  Not as busy as we were during the summer, but still pretty busy.  This has led us to decide we need to train my mom NOW!  So she’s been coming over, when ever she can, to train.  Her health isn’t great, so there have been just as many days that she’s been too ill to come over, but she’s been doing pretty well.  We need to train her before it gets busy, because we very well may be too busy for just Steve and I.  Which of course is GREAT, but kinda scary too, cuz we were at our limit last summer.  But we’ve made it through a lot worse, so we’ll make it through this too.

Family:

The boys are doing great.  Roger is getting almost straight A’s in all his courses in high school and finishes his work so early he usually has a week or two without any work to do.  At least any work that the school gives him.  I’ve been considering talking to his instructors about putting him in more challenging classes, but I just don’t know.  Roger also has a girlfriend.  It’s so cute!  He’s out on a date with her right now.  They went to see Avatar together.  Very cute.

Jack is also doing really great in his school work.  He may actually be able to finish 7th & 8th grade by the end of this year and start 9th grade in the fall.  I’d really like that so he could get some more interaction with kids his age, cuz I can hardly move him off the couch!

Things are going really great with Steve and I too.  We had a bit of an argument yesterday, but mostly because we were both sleep deprived and kinda tilting from the poker gods not favoring us over the weekend.  We took some bad beats, lost a couple of tournaments, and it really made Steve feel horrible.  He took it harder than I did, but I think that’s mostly because today’s his birthday and he turns 39.  So it was more an emotional thing of feeling old and blucky about his birthday.  I ended up taking 4th place in a big tournament on Saturday and won over $200.  which was great, because it almost made up for the money we lost in the other tournaments and cash games.  Such is poker though.

So that’s what’s been going on with me lately.  How are you doing?  Read any good books lately?  I have, but you’ll have to read about them at Books4Moms.  LOL!
