Happy Halloween!!

Boy Oh Boy do I miss Halloween. All the fun going house to house and the parties. Oh the fun. Happy Halloween.

I guess you are wondering why I am changing my blog up some. Well, I needed a change. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Our Diwali Celebration ...

Our Diwali Celebration was fun. A few nights a ago Ben and Bob went out to hand out free fireworks to the disadvantaged children. The next night I went along. We went to a few scary neighborhoods I thought we might have to fight our way out of. Bob has no fear. It was fun, though. Then the next night we shot fireworks off our roof. That was fun too until we found the super sonic loud fireworks. These fireworks would definitely be illegal in the States. I am posting some pictures from those 2 nights and one of Ben's feet with gloves on them. It cracks me up. He is so funny. He walked around the house with gloves on his feet.

Just some recent pictures of Ben....

Ben's new haircut. It looks great!

Trying to lose weight....

Well, I have gained a bit of weight since being here and I am trying to lose it now. It is hard! In case you do not know I weighed 230lbs about 5 yrs ago and I lost 100 lbs over a 18 month period. No drugs just diet and exercise. I am trying to lose 10 lbs before Christmas and I workout for an 1 hour a day, 6 days a week but I cannot get the eating under control. So, I have lost no weight. I am doing better but stress eating is my downfall. So, I guess the reason I am writing this is I need advice.

Dance lessons for 3 months..... Was it worth it?

Things are good...

Things are going pretty good except the other day my friend and I went to BBQ Nation and they gave us raw, yes raw, chicken to eat. Then I went for a massage at a new place and it was awful. The first appearance of the building is that it is clean and nice. But, then they brought me back to a cubical and asked me to undress for the massage and I was beginning to get worried because it was loud and bright. Every movement in the salon could be heard. Everything from babies crying, hairdryers to the knocking over of chairs. I did not relax. I stopped to massaged about half way through and got up and walked out because it was just too much for me to handle. A few days before they did a manicure and pedicure for me and they did a terrible job. What did I expect? The salon name is Bellezza. I won't use them again.

I am back

Sorry I have not written in a while. I will do better. Promise.

Things have been going fine nothing major to report. Ben is doing well. My loving husband is busier than ever and I and busy too but a good busy. I am really starting to enjoy life. 30 is proving to be good for me. Let's hope it gets even better.
