The Biggest Loser

The title of this blog applies to me in the following ways:

1. Because I haven’t posted in so long
2. Because I spent my NYE playing DDR on my new Wii, and would not have had it any other way
3. Because I’m starting to get totally stressed about my wedding related to-do list and yet cope with this by eating gummy worms, and losing sleep instead of say…actually doing something about it!
4. Because instead of writing thank you notes, or working on my NYE card (what lazy people call Christmas cards) I watched the real Biggest Loser on TV last night
5. Because the HSF and I are implementing our own version of The Biggest Losers-Couples on the Half Street
6. Because I’m slightly concerned that unless I win our Biggest Loser, there is a chance that my first wedding dress ‘fitting’ will actually be an experiment on how far fabric can stretch


So as you can see it was a pretty typical holiday hiatus for me. The HSF and I traveled to the great white mid-west for a fantastic family holiday that was also the HSF’s a. first Christmas away from his family and b. his first white Christmas. I think he made up for the sadness of being away by hauling in tons of great loot from his new extended family. After returning early from vacation so I could be worthless at work for 1 ½ days, we went to the ranch so the HSF could hunt, and I could…well, do nothing. Which was also delightful.

For 2008 I’m making the following wishes.

1. Lose 30 pounds before the wedding
2. Become more organized, and in turn cut down on 90% of fights on the Half Street
3, Find a niche at church to get more active
4. Turn 30
5. Be funnier


I think my list is a nice mixture of the ‘yeah rights’ and sure things. And I’m pretty sure my #1 helps fulfill my #5. Hmmm, 2 lists in one post? Maybe #2 isn’t as far fetched as I thought!

you haven't written your thank you notes for the engagement party??? Yikes! For Pete's sake (and mine), hurry up. It is not going to get any easier.

Wii is a perfect procrastination tool. It is the fiancee's fault. He bought if for you:)

Hey technically you have 6 months to write those thanks yous! But your mom's right--it won't be getting any easier and you'll just get more and more gifts. As we discussed at Christmas, no thank you cards needed here--there, one thing to cross off your list.

yeah... the wii will suck away all of your desire to do wedding stuff. too bad you can't set up a mii to write those thank you notes for you!
