I have been working really hard this summer to improve my eating habits and to be more active. so far I think I’ve lost about 12 pounds. I’ve been doing wiifit for my workouts. I was thinking about wiifit today, and I think one of the reasons I like it is because I’ve created avatars of family and close friends. I think it helps me a lot to have those closest to me cheering me on throughout whatever activity I’m doing. plus, it will sound stupid, but I like seeing ricky via the game because I hardly ever see him any other time. :D

there’s only one more week of summer break before I start back at work. we are going camping this tues/wed for our last chance before the school year. then the first weekend of the school year, ricky and I are going to seattle for my brother’s wedding. the following weekend is thegathering’s camping trip over labor day weekend. busy, busy.

last week ricky’s dad joe got into a motocross accident. he broke six ribs, and his shoulder blade is in three pieces. ricky didn’t go to work last week so he would be available to check on his dad. it was so nice seeing him all this week. I can’t wait until his schedule changes to days or he finds a different job.

we got a cat and a kitten last week. we lost mow about a few weeks ago, and ihs was having $10 cats/kittens. the cat is named max, and the kitten is named simon.
