My new ring

4 years ago I got an engagement ring for christmas. Now this year I got a NEW ring for christmas. Since I lost my other one :( This ring is amazing!! It was the one I wanted and dearest hubby said I could have it. It was a little more than I really thought about spending but it's so pretty. 2 carats!! I'm still trying to get used to it. It's very sparkly LOL I've put a picture up of my new ring. It's the same thing except we got it in white gold not yellow gold as the picture shows. I am very lucky to have a man that loves me enough not to buy me a new ring but the kind of man that looks at me and says that I can get whatever I want....that I can be selfish for once because I never am. It has the two bands and one is the 3 stone past present and future band....I think that was very fitting for us since it's not an engagement ring and then wedding band but it represents our past that we have shared, our present that we are enjoying and of course our future.

He was so funny though because after we bought it and such he looked at me and said Okay now i'm getting a drink, you get a ring and I get an Orange Julius!!

One Meal At a Time

I have started a diet lately. I had lost about 20 pounds or so when my dearest hubby was gone but when he came back and I was trying to feed him everything he missed and of course stress eating I gained it back...and I think a couple pounds!! So I have started a diet. It's from Readers Digest called One Change or something similiar. It's pretty simple it has a normal eating pattern and normal food but more about portion and eating healthy. Also you make one change a week. For example this week it's about breakfasts...so I have been eating breakfasts according to the plan and you don't change anything else but that this week. Concentrate on it and eat regularly the rest of the time. So I have been VERY GOOD and of course getting much better at taking my meds so hopefully it will go well!! Next week it's lunch....so I eat the same breakfasts that I have been eating but now I adjust lunch. I think it's great and really easy. Will keep you all updated since now I have my new fancy laptop, new cingular wireless connection and it's all doing good!!!

New Laptop

I thought for sure I was going to go crazy. Our laptop broke and of course was very very stressful for me. I couldn't send out an email to have a conference call for the Navy, couldn't check my email, bank account, NOTHING!!! It was horrible. So we went and bought a new laptop. That HP can be used for target practice for all I care...Well okay as soon as we get the stuff off the hard drive. It was the same problem that we had before when I replaced the motherboard which took almost a month and cost me like $600. Well hubby and I talked about it and thought it might be best to just look at getting a new laptop. So we found one at Circuit City the other day. The shipper was going to take 4-6 hours to load our trailer so we decided to go and check out the stores and see if we could find one. We did. It's pretty small but that is a good thing for what we do. It's also very light and wasn't that expensive. I like it though because it's very convient to take into the truck stops when we eat so that way we can check the emails.
When we went in and looked at them and saw the one we wanted it was a little disheartening that we were standing there and nobody was asking if they could help us. So finally I went up and found a mgr type and said I wanted to buy this laptop. I hope those other people don't work on commission. We bought the advantage plan so they will do an accidental replacement should we drop or damage or break this one. But also will fix it for 2 years free. Even replace the batteries. But when we bought it the cashier rang it up and said "how will you be paying for it?" Hubby smiled and said "Will green do?" LOL He pulled out $1200 in $20 bills. We took the money out of the ATM LOL But anyway now that I have my super little laptop I will be writing more hopefully.
