I love walks


Jami and I have decided that we are cows, and that it's time to do something about it so that in a few months I can wear my Victoria's Secret swimsuit from last year and not want to vomit. Instead of not eating, which doesn't work too well when you're breastfeeding, we have decided to start walking everyday with our kids. It kinda sucks because she lives in Davis and I live in Sac so two days a week I go there and two days a week she comes here. And for an hour and a half or so we walk, well in a perfect world an hour and a half but we end up stopping to change someone's diaper or let the girls out to play. I'm excited though, because A. I need the motivation to work out, B. If I don't start leaving my house everyday I'm going to become extremely depressed, and C. I get to get good use out of my jogging stroller and track suit.
My goal is to lose 14 pounds by May, but I'm doubtful. Oh well at least I get to enjoy the lovely scenery.

New car yo

Man I'm so excited, it's about freaking time I got a new car.

It all started with the shaggin waggon. The sexy 97 Ford Aerostar van. Oh yea, that thing was a good time on four wheels. That was the greatest car I ever had. My mom let me have it when she got a new car and I was the coolest 18 year old ever. That bad boy's top speed was 90mph and you better believe I took it there. I miss that van. For some reason I thought it was time for a nicer car. And that is where the problems began.

I bought my sisters little blue car and things were lovely. I could go wherever I wanted go whenever I wanted to go. It went a lot faster than 90mph, I think the fastest we got it was 107. 107 or 104, I can't quite remember. It was fun for a while but then it decided to be rude. I could only go so far because it would overheat until one fateful day it just decided to blow up on the freeway leaving me stuck on the side of the road. Car-less. Alone.

Then we shared the truck for a year and a half, which worked, just not well. We payed out the butt for gas and I had to drive to Vacaville twice a day everyday to drop Jeremy off and pick him up for work. 70 miles round trip. Thats a lot of miles, and it wasn't my sweet ride, it was his.

So finally I find a cute little Jeep that I think will work swimmingly and I buy it... bad idea. Never trust craigslist or shady mechanics. I couldn't leave Sacramento because I was always afraid it would die on me due to the barely functioning third cylinder and cracked engine block. Sad times those were...

Well finally we decide it's time. Jeremy sold his sweet sexy little motorcycle, rip crotch rocket, and we bought a fully functioning new car!!! We purchased a silver 2008 Dodge Caliber SE! It makes me happy. I finally remember what it's like to have the freedom and independence to just get in my car and leave for wherever the wind takes me. Not that I will or need to get up and leave, I just have the option now. I feel like a better person. And it's so fun to drive and drives like a champ. And the sound system if legit enough for my standards, which is nice.

I just feel blessed and happy and free again. Yay.
