RAOK is still on going.. not easy to get in someetimes..and WHY is that? It is starting to be something that I think about all day as I try and find an opportunity. Mostly it's opening doors for people, picking something up they dropped, etc..I guess I'm just searching for something a little more.
Sweets: going GREAT! Haven't had a bite, have had some tempting things thrown at me but NO GO! So a few prayers go up for the boys..GREAT!
I have really been spending my time on the Wii lately. Just having a blast excercising. I used to really DIG running and working out everyday. I wish I had the time , energy and " elements" to make it possible the way it did when I was younger. A little movement is better than no movement :) Well, ta ta for now, got two screaming kids behind me.

A Wii bit tired..
Update: RAOK mission accomplished. This is really quite fun, makes for a wonderful day! I caught a person getting on the elevator this morning who dropped a few books, and couldn't carry all that she had to load downstairs. I pushed her cart, handed her a few books and carried her coffee to the table downstairs while pushing my cart as well...fun fun! Sweets, well another prayer went up for my DMD community as the whole bowl of assorted chocolate bars were sitting on the table at work...I resisted of course :)
Ok, came home and decided to get this Wii fit thing hooked up...OH MY WORD! What a fantastic way to exercise...LOVE IT! I will say that my character looks a little chubby..hopefully by the end of the year she wont look so bad :)
Hope you are having a great day...and try a RAOK for one week and see if this doesn't change you a bit... totally fun!

STEROIDS can be your best friend!
UPDATE: Well, so far soo good! I resisted the bowl of chocolate on the table at work, said a prayer for my DMD guys....actually had numerous opportunities for a RAOK today, but the one I am giving credit for is cleaning off the desk of a co-worker who has been on maternity leave for 8 weeks and is due back to work tommorrow. Her desk looked a mess with dust and all of our junk on it. So, I took a bleach wipe, cleaned it all down, replaced her things and made it look just like she left it... she will never know.
Ok, now for fun stuff... umm, lets see... oh I could tell you about why I didn't post last night. Here's the scoop. I have been suffereing from this terrible itch that turns out to be an allergic reaction to my asthma med. So, I ended up getting a steroid shot last night around 7 ish.. which if any of you all have had this, knows that it's bound to set in motion HYPERACTIVITY. I get home, feeling pain from my shot. I sit for a bit and WHAM.. it hits me! I walked into Keatons room ( a place most should never go) and I finally got the engery to clean it out. I started at 9 and was finished by 10:30, I re-arranged furniture, pulled out his lovely stash from under the bed, dresser and closet and would have re painted had I had any paint. I should have taken a before and after pictures... here is what I found under the bed:
1. pot tart box, minus 4 pop tarts
2. soda can, empty
3.every battery that I bought for Christmas presents and couldn't find so I bought more, lost those and bought more.. get the picture?
4 lots o toys.. no matching parts
5. some computer speakers that he " cut" with ..
6. a pair of scissors
7. Tape of course.. lots of tape
8. candy wrappers
9. breakfast bar wrappers
10. his windsheild wiper that he usually sleeps with
11. screwdriver set
12. Christian's lego box
13. Cell phone car charger
and many many more, but this was what I could remember.
Yes, I do check his room quite frequently, but during the holidays, I just hadn't had the energy to tackel it. He was quite upset at my new rule ( which isn't new, just the punshment is) that for every piece of food found in his room, I will confiscate 1 playstation game. if he has no more games left, then the playstation goes. Ta da! He called me today while I was at work to tell me that he was " checking on me" wanted to know " what time I would be home" and that he is keeping his room clean...hmmm, don't think I didn't make it to his room first thing when I came home... but lucky for him, he was telling the truth and it looked pretty much like I left it yesterday :)
So, pictures to come of the misshaps, just not tonight..don't worry, there is plenty I'm sure! Till next post friends..Have a blessed day :)

Twenty Ten Take Two...
Ok, day two of twenty ten and so far so good. Although, I will say that what I thought would be the hardest of my two NYR is not the hardest after all. Avoiding sweets is not the problem, it's finding an opportunity for RAOK everyday. I ventured out at one point hoping to have an opportunity, but didn't. I did however loan out some windex to a neighbor and when she tried to pay me, I declined. I guess this could count.
Now I must go get off early tonight, I know only day two and I'm cutting it short. But I am waiting for a " date" with my brother and parentals on SKYPE...so, ta ta for now! OH and a BIG THANK YOU to my FB buddie and now blogger friend, Kat..who is reading my blog!

Happy New Year!
Ok, LOOOOONNNG time no write. I know, but I vow to make this year a little better in the life of the " blog".
For starters, let's talk about New Years Resolution. Yep, I made one... crazy me. I REALLY want to see this through this year though. Here it is, I only made two:
1. ELIMINATE ALL SWEETS for an ENTIRE YEAR.
Ok, wow, I know what you're thinking..impossible. Not exactly. The idea behind this is not to be on some crazy diet, it's meant for me to suffer a little bit. I decided that the guilt of living a normal, typical life with not much in the way of discomforts has distrubed me. Thinking of Christian and his daily struggles continues to wear on me. I want to help him, wipe this thing away, but I can't. So, my plan is to fast for him this year. To deprive myself of all sweets, to pray for him and my DMD community. To have daily discomforts ( hey, I work in an office full of women that LOOOVVVE sweets). That's the plan.
2. Do one RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS everyday this year.
It doesn't have to be a BIG noticable act..just something that may spark a " pay it forward" type of deal. I just want to be a better person this next year, thought this would help.
OK, so this blog thingy is going to first list my two Resolutions and then contain whatever else tickles my fancy. I'm sure it will have some contents of Keaton and his crazyness and tales of Wanita and Christian...so stay tuned..if anyone is even out there that reads this thing anymore..
So far today I have stuck to the code and have not consumed any sweets and performed 1 RAOK first thing this morning. Here's what I did. Typically, I take Wanita for a short walk in the cove first thing in the morning before I head off to work. This stimulates the poopy thus helping us all out. So, I had started getting the newspaper for two of my neighbors as their paper is generally thrown at the curb, and with it being butt freezin cold it only makes their morning a little warmer. Both are older, and read their paper with coffee first thing when they get up. This morning I was a little late getting out there, but I decided to add another person to the list, another neighbor. I know she doesn't particularly have time in the morning to read the paper, nor have time for coffee I'm sure. It's easier for her to get it, but this morning it was on Wanita and myself to get if. So, there is my first RAOK... I'm just getting started!
Sooooo..... Bring on twenty-ten!

Odd but true....
More of Keaton's obssession with "TAPE" and "FANS" This is a shot of tape hanging from his air conditoner vents with tissue on the ends.... why??
For some strange reason, he uses the tape as kinda like a flag... he sets this up EVERYWHERE! I have banned tape from my home. I step in it, I wash it in the washer, it gets on my clothes and in the car, it has even been removed from my clothes at CHURCH!!
Yes, strange indeed! OK, this next shot is of Waffle, who no matter where he is, runs to my seat after I get up. I come back and this is what I have to contend with....
He is an odd little ( well, maybe not little) kitty. He rarely goes anywhwere without his buddy, the scorpion puppet. He will look for it at night and call to it before coming to bed... Here he is with his buddy...
Well, that should be enough Oddness for now, believe me ...there is plenty more left. If anyone can figure us out, please let me know...... am I this odd????
