katrinat's Journal, 26 August 2008

Hubby had to get up at 3:30 this morning, so I woke up with him and after laying in bed for about 1/2 hour and not falling back to sleep, I decided to get up and get my day started. Got in my 20 minutes of On DEMAND workout (upper body today), then got my crock pot dinner started. I made a ham a while back and froze what we didn't devour, so today I am making a pot of white beans with ham. It's one of my husbands favorite meals, and not hard at all to prepare!

Finally got almost all of the school shopping done. Both girls still need bags, and the two youngest need sweatshirts, but the majority is DONE!!!

Did good yesterday with both exercise and food. Did my workout in the morning, had a good lunch (salad and zero point progresso soup), then made yummy fajita's for dinner. Had mine on wheat tortillas, so not too bad. I even got a little adventurous and added a fresh jalapeno to the fajita veggies-- made them much spicier, but really good!

Will be working from the office today. I leave early tomorrow morning for AZ. I'm going to Flagstaff, which is about 2 hours north of Phoenix, and much cooler! Should be very comfortable weather there... and I will only be there until Sunday, then I have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off, so I will be able to spend the holiday with my family, then get all the kids off to school for their first day on Wednesday! So glad they are going back :)

My oldest daughter will be 18 in November.. I'm trying to figure out something to do for her birthday that will be memorable as it is such a big milestone. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I want to get it figured out so I'm not doing it at the last minute!

Hope everyone has a SUPER FANTASTIC day!

I don't know if this will work, but if it does, this is a picture of the bedroom set we ordered....

What about a nice spa somewhere, with a nice facial, mani, pedi and maybe hair??? And yes, she probably has some ideas of her own! lol ;)

I had to copy and paste the addy for the bedroom set - it looks beautiful! Are you going to get nice new linens and such to compliment the ensemble? I'd be interested myself in ideas for an 18 year old girl's birthday since I will be facing that milestone in just over one year. I think everyone is on the right track in suggesting you ask your daughter what she would like. Unless, of course, she comes up with the common teenage answer "I don't know." A lot of ideas also depend on whether 18 is the legal age in your state or not as that will dictate whether or not alcohol would/could be involved.

Yes, Evelyn, I am planning on new linens, too. Luckily, I have some time to look, also, since the set won't be in until October. Bully... that's a good idea... I will have to look into that. As far as her ideas, I don't think any she has are something she wants me to be involved in. Her answer is more along the lines of Evelyn's "I don't know"... And no, the legal age is not 18 in Washington, but doesn't really matter when they live on their own and have friends over 21! ;(

Nice bedroom set Kat! Hrmmmmm, an 18 year old birthday party. I had some ideas...but if she's living on her own she may want something material, like a TV or something, opposed to a girlie party (which I would love!! hehe). I know one of my friends teenagers wanted a dinner with 4 of her friends, so she got her hair done, makeup, and they all went out to dinner. Do you have a 20 and under club where you are? We do here, and I remember going to one when I was under 21...was fun...and of course...boys boys boys. =)
