100 posts!

Well, it took almost a year to hit 100 posts but I did it! I would love to do a giveaway, but I don't have anything of great excitement to giveaway...maybe around Christmas!

I hope ya'll are having a great week!

This leaves a bad taste in my mouth...

I don't know about ya'll but I'm pretty picky about toothpaste. I seem to have a "demand" list a mile long. I want something that freshens my breath, keeps it that way, strengthens enamel and whitens. Is that so hard to ask? I thought I had hound the toothpaste of my dreams.
Yeah, think again. This stuff tasted awful and was all grainy and yucky. Plus, my mouth feels like I drank warm milk and tastes like it too after I'm done brushing my teeth. Ew!

Anyone have any recommendations?

P.S. Yes, I really did just post about toothpaste. Teeth are important!

Estes Park and Weekend Recap

So as my last entry suggested, my parents, myself and my son went to Estes Park on Saturday. To put it simply it was a very quick trip! The trees haven't changed yet and there was this huge festival going on that made the town nearly in-navigable (that's the word of the day).

We did manage to stop at the Stanley Hotel. When we got there it looked like a wedding had just finished. I would give my arms to get married at the Stanley, but it's soooooo expensive!

This is a picture that CJ took of my dad. You can see the wedding site and gorgeous hotel behind him. Stephen King wrote "The Shining" while staying at this hotel. Then they filmed the remake of the film here. Supposedly room 217 is haunted. I'd love to go on a ghost tour of this place!






This is me and my momma...and some random dude walking behind us.

My mom-CJ's "gandmom" and CJ. They're buds. If you ever need a great cup of coffee, they make the best. I think it's because of the love they add to it :)

After spending a riveting 20 minutes in Estes Park we left LOL CJ wasn't quite done taking pictures so he grabbed this beauty:

On Sunday, B and I went to his Volunteer Appreciation Picnic. It was fun. I met the people he volunteers with and ate some really yummy food. We followed the picnic with ice cream and laying under the shade of tree relaxing and enjoying each others company.

This may sound lame, but that's one of my favorite things to do. Just lay there, next to the person you're with and enjoying that moment. Whether you talk or not-it's never awkward.

Anyway, that was my weekend. I don't have any huge fantabulous plans this week except hit the gym. I have a goal to lose 25 pounds by Christmas. I can do it, I just need to behave myself :)

The Gang is back in town

Well, almost the whole Watson clan anyway. Both of my brothers are still in Idaho, but my parents and my son are here so we're going to go do something fun.

We're going to be heading up to Estes Park on this beautiful day. We're going to see/hear elk, look at the trees and have fun walking around. It's been forever since I've been to Estes. I hope we stop at the Stanley Hotel! I love it there!

Falling off the wagon...

I know I don't have many avid readers, but for those of you that do read, all I can say is that I suck at updating. I could say I've been busy or whatnot, but in all actuality-I just didn't feel like updating. Maybe that's why my followers are now only at 13?

Anyway, let's do a quick recap shall we?

CJ is great. He's almost 5! Less than a month-about three weeks. I'm so excited but kind of sad at the same time :( My baby isn't a baby anymore. We're on a roll with the Autism screenings. We have two in the month of October! The really yucky one is on the 2nd...that's when they'll be taking blood from him. Who agrees that bribing my child with Toy Story 1 and 2 at the theaters is a fantastic idea? Okay, good-that's what I thought!

I was on a roll with the weight loss. That quickly came to a halt. For the last month all I really have to show for it is the FIVE pounds I gained back. Yeah, my butt is getting back to the gym and eating better. I can't say I got lazy, I just got happy!

Why am I happy? Because I have a great boyfriend. Yes, I am not single anymore! Woo-hoo!!! B and I made if "official" on September 5th. He is so awesome! How awesome? He brought me a gift last night. Dark chocolate and hot pink argyle slipper sock thingy's! The chocolate is so yummy and the socks- he got them because my feet are always freezing. How sweet is that?

Lastly, today is the first day of fall and it feels like winter! It's snowing in Denver and it's in the 40's here. I'm loving it since fall/winter clothes are so fun! The cold wind makes me want to crawl under my covers and just read, but I need to go the gym and do homework...

Well, that's the basic update. I'm going to get better at this updating thing. Sometimes I don't know what to write. Please accept this cute picture of my child as my gift to you for putting up with my slacker-ishness!


Who can't love a face like that? This is CJ modeling his fall wear. He picked out all of his clothes for the season! LOL

Untitled...

Life has come at me in several different directions. After such a long period of hard life lessons life has taken an amazing turn down the road of happiness. I will bring you all the details of my new found happiness this weekend. I need a moment to catch my breath!

I hope life treats you well!

It's been awhile...

I have been such a slacker when it comes to my blog...I have no real reason as to why. In the mean time while I work on an update, here's a video to keep you happy :)

Thanks Pink Sass for this video!
