MICHELLES 45TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

MICHELLES 45TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

so, i hadnt really had an enjoyable dinner for myself that i wanted just for me, even when its mothers day, i conceed to allow craig to have a steak, which forces me to go get some form of fish dinner, to minimize the caloric/fat/carb intake.

but THIS year, i wanted to have something i hadnt had in a LOOOONG time...totally against my diet on all accounts, but i had a craving, and my birthday was an upcoming event, and i deserved it.

i wanted to have PIZZA HUT PIZZA!
it had, literally been YEARS since i had my fav pizza last. and it was time, and i was due.

so, the quest came to find a dine-in pizza hut. believe it or not, theres one in my local area! ONE!
so when craig came home, we headed out.

we got there, seated ourselves. wasnt very busy, we were the third table with ppl at it, there was about 10 of us there, about.

took the waitress forever to get to us.

she asked what we wanted to drink, and we made our orders.

we each ordered our own pizza.
 i also ordered a salad. and wasnt told that the bowls were on the buffet, and i could go help myself.

eventually, i went and did it on my own. its my birthday after all, and i wanted a salad.

we enjoyed our pizzas.

 craig and daniel both had some sort of meat lovers pizza, with as much meat as you can pile on top of the pizza.

i had a super supreme because i like veggies on my pizza.

they ate about half of theirs before they were done. me? one slice!

i was DONE! finished! couldnt have put another peice in if i wanted too, i was STUFFED!

they had another meal, i had a weeks worth left over, lol

MAIDEN TRIP TO OKNRAIL TRAIN CLUB MEETING

my husband and myself are members of a local train club: OkNrail. (www.Oknrail.org). and it was that time of the year for elections.

i had thrown my personal hat in, to be the secretary, as bruce asked me to do so, because another members handwriting was barely legible (he said, i never saw it, so i cant say for sure).
and i said id only run for this position if another person would run against the shoe-in for the new presidency.
i had even emailed his nomination for election in.

one problem.

craigs job has him get off a bit too late, and when he hits the house by the time we end up at the meeting, were late. so people were asking the then former president how i could be the secretary if i wasnt going to be there on time.

well, as fortune would have it, OR you could call it a blessing, thats what im gonna call it. we fixed the van up, and timing has a weird way of making sure its an important thing to know...it was fixed just in time for me to make the 1st meeting for these all-important elections.

another problem, i had never drivien to the meeting place alone before.

so, i had to have a maiden run, so id know my way there, and i had to be driving it so id know where to be looking for landmarks.
its different when your the driver than when your the passenger.

so, we took my maiden trip the day before the meeting. these are some pics. ENJOY!
MICHELLE

pulling out of the driveway.

success! :)

as a side note, i won the secretary election! it was a split tie between me and Bobbie Becker. we had a re-vote (secretly, i was hoping hed get it) my cast for president turned the position down, left me with no one to vote for, so i felt boxed in for the position. and i had hoped Robbie would win.
but as it would happen, *I* won it...on the second vote.

and i think, if im not mistaken, and i may be...i may be the 1st female to have any sort of position on the board.

eh. it is what it is.

the offfer came up for us to go and get a couch, (or both, actually) if we wanted them.

of course, the 1st priority was to make sure wed have room for this new (used) couch.
so we spent all day on a saturday rearranging the furniture in both the garage and the living room to get the one couch out, we had gotten for free at Daniels Boy Scout Garage sale a couple of years earlier, to get this new couch in.

so, all day was spent all day saturay making room for the new couch, and then sunday we went and got it.

i didnt take a pic when it was at the original house, i forgot to, but i did take a pic of it before it went in the garage.

yeah...nice couch. :)

and here it is in its new spot in the house.

wall looks kinda empty now, i need to put some family pics, or some nice phrase up there. :)

2012 NEW YEARS DAY BREAKFAST

 morning weight: 263

craig and i went out for a breakfast on New years..
went to IHOP, because i wanted eggs and some meat like bacon, sausage, or the like.
i ended up with the lowest calorie egg omelet they offer (320 cals): Spinach/Mushroom/Tomato NO meat...
and water (blah!) to drink.
oh and a side of fresh fruit.
the grapes..OMG! i had forgotten how good they are! lol

youll note..my omlete has onions on it, NOT part of it, they just included them..they were pretty good...gave the omelet some flavor, i also used craigs salsa as my 'sauce'
if you look at the top of the pic, you can see craig had a colorado omelet (a whopping 1120 cals!)

yes, part of the new year is my concentration on what i put in my body, as well as exercise.

breakfast was very good, i was stuffed from my smaller omelet...but it did the trick.
