So I challenged myself to go without Starbucks for one entire month. It was hard for me, because I really crave that stuff. For Christmas I received two gift cards for Starbucks. It was hard not to run off to Starbucks the day I received them. Although I do have to admit that I have used my gifts twice over the weekend.
I'm still going to try and stick to no Starbucks after I use the gift cards up. I want to say I have $23.00 left. Oh and the husband is helping as well.
I know every year people make New Years Resolutions and I feel like by middle January I have already failed. So I am not making any this year. I just decided to work other things through out the year.
These are the things I would like to accomplish this year in no particular order:
1. Get Pregnant
2. Loss weight
3. Maintain a workout routine.
4. Spend more time with Tim.
5. Take more photos.

I've added another item!
I had to add another item. Maybe I could of gotten rid of one of them, but I just thought this was more fair to myself. I've decided no more Starbucks for a MONTH. I have to try and be good to myself and to my body. Hello have you seen it lately. Miss piggy in the house! Okay really, December is upon on so I thought why not try something new. New exercise routine and new commitment's.

Sunday Brunch-Completed
Yesterday morning Tim and I meet several friends down in Baltimore for Brunch. This would be the first time we had ever been to Little Havana. Although we have passed this place thousands of times on our drive down to Baltimore. Both Tim and I got the Spanish Style Eggs, although Tim got an extra plate of potatoes. Each other us had numerous glasses of Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. I believe the best thing we ate that day was these donuts dipped in Chocolate. You can't say NO to hot donuts dipped in Chocolate. So good!
We left early (around 3:00 p.m.) and arrived home to catch the tail end of the Ravens Game. We destroyed Philly yesterday! Our Ravens are now 7-4. Still in the playoff hunt!
Go Ravens!

I finally did it!
I finally beat Tim at poker. Okay I have won before, but that was prior to making this list. This past weekend we went to Rohobeth Beach for the weekend to hang out with friends. We played several board games, Wii games and even poker. We started early, around four-ish and probably finished at Eight. By the end I was just so tired of playing that I went all in three times in a row and let Brad win. YUP! I let him win! LOL! Brad only won $20 bucks, but I guess with the economy so crappy beating your friends at Poker and taking their money is better then nothing.

It was an Atlantic City weekend!
Shannon and I left early from Harford County to head to Atlantic City for Jessica's Bachelorette party. We arrived in Atlantic City after several attempts to find the NJ Expressway. Um yeah don't follow map quest, those directions suck. After several hours in the car, both of us were dire need of a bathroom. We arrived at the Showboat Hotel and Casino just after 1:30. We grabbed some pizza on the boardwalk and then headed down to the casino to gamble. Most of the weekend we spent drinking, sharing stories and even saw some naked men. I can't really upload any pictures to this post, because there is a saying... what happens in Atlantic City stays in Atlantic City. Ha.

I made a few changes...
I decided to change the look of my blog again. I have a feeling that not that many people are actually reading my blog. At first I thought it would be cool to have a blog with some goals that I'm trying to accomplish. And so far this blog has keep me on my toes and I've accomplished them.
I have decided to change a few goals to more realistic ones, instead of the far fetched ones I previous had on there. For example #53 (Lean to water Ski) was never going to happen. I've deathly afraid of water, hitting my body against water and at high speeds. Back in June Tim and I went boating with some friends and well Tim actually tried to water ski (he did a great job). I was to chicken to even attempt it. I did however trying tubing and loved it. I'm the kind of girl who likes to take things slow. My fear of the water has always been with me. It mainly started when I was a child and just gotten harder for me as an adult. My family was poor so swimming lessons was just not in the cards. My Dad on the other hand thought it was a great idea to just throw your child in the water and they will figure it out. Nope never figured it out. Yes I know how to float, but floating and swimming are two different things. I have gone white water rafting twice, and both times knock on wood have never falling out. People probably think I am crazy, but I would rather not have anyone touch me while I'm in the water. I just feel more comfortable that way.
My new goal for #53 is Visit Rachel and Mike in Tampa, FL. Which did happen two weeks ago. Rachel and I have known each other for 14 years, but not until 2 or 3 years ago became close again. I wish she and Mike lived closer, but right now that's not in the cards for them. Tim and I decided to make it a long weekend and head to FL. Tim had never been to Florida so it was a new experience for him. We landed early in Tampa around 9:00 a.m. and Rachel and Treith picked us up at the airport. Rachel showed us around town. We stopped at MacDill Air force base to check out where Mike works at, their new apartment (which just moved into this weekend) and the beach. The baby wasn't to happy about the big tractor that was plowing the sand, but we did dip our feet into the warm water. Next we proceed to head to this little park in Tampa for Treith to play in the water. The weather in Tampa was extremely warm. So it was nice again to get our feet wet. Rachel drove us around Tampa and surrounding areas. Friday night Mike had to work, so the four of us went to dinner at Apple bees in Tampa.
Saturday we got up and went to Tampa Art Museum which was pretty cool at least for the kids. They had a free day of arts and crafts. Treith and Tim made bookmarks, while I just looked on. We then headed upstairs to check out the art, but was really disappointed that upstairs only contained 10 pieces. After we left the ART Museum we headed toward the mall. We did get lost, but it was fun counting all the strip clubs along the way. Seriously we counted 9. Um yeah so if you ever need to visit Tampa, check it out! LOL! At the mall we decided to cool off and just walk around, we did come to find out that the ART Museum will be opening in a new location next fall in downtown Tampa. So the current location is just temporary. Nice to know that their was more art elsewhere.
After leaving the mall we headed home to pick up Mike and go out to dinner at Cheddars (kind of like Chili's). Food was pretty good, drinks were flowing as well. After dinner we headed to the grocery store and each of us picked up a 6 pack. We went back to the apartment and played Mad Gab. This game was hilarious, def a good game to play when your drunk. Ha ha! Rachel and I kicked butt!
Sunday was not such a great day. I was so hung over and Tim was coming down with a cold that we never got to the beach. I'm sorry Rachel for ruining the plans. I am sure you have already forgiven me!
Our flight didn't leave until 5:35 from Tampa and we arrived home in Baltimore around 7:45 p.m. All in All we had a great weekend with friends. Like most weekends it just goes by to fast.
Other changes that I've made to my blog is... Exercising the dogs. We are going to try to walk them three nights a week at least a mile. With the sun not rising until well after 7 in the morning it's just harder for me to motivate myself to get out of bed. Once the time changes I will be more motivated to get my butt in gear. I promise myself and the dogs I would walk them more.
I think that's it for now. Check back soon for more updates. I promise that in the next few weeks I will have completed a few more items.

Lord help me!!!
I have this small problem! Okay probably large problem now. I love books and I have this list in my blog that keeps growing and growing. I found the library to be a great tool to borrowing books, but my problems keep continuing. Instead of reading all the books that I have at home I keep add books to the list. I can't do that! Although at least 2 of the 4 books that I decided to place holds on today, will be a few months out before I actually received them. But seriously I am really trying not to buy another book before I finish reading these!
Okay my little vent is over!
