highs and lows

When I was a camp counselor we used to have to share our high and lows at the end of each day. Since I am just getting back to work and feeling fairly reflective about the past two weeks, I thought I'd share my top twenty highs and top ten lows. So I guess it's good that I have more highs than lows!

We'll start with highs:

1. Chris getting off early on Christmas Eve and then being called off Christmas Day! He was able to celebrate it after all!

2. Mega epic family bonding time with the in-laws! I especially love Mom, H, and K. You guys were such a blessing.

3. New boots, mascara, and socks! Those were only a few of my awesome gifts.

4. M&Monary INSTEAD of pictionary.....where you eat your mistakes. Thanks T.V.

5. Spending time with our god-daughter. LOVE THAT LITTLE GIRL! Octopus....!

6. Having a little hope that I may be pregnant again...we'll wait a couple days and see.

7. 97 cent shirt at JC PENNEY!

8. Half off LIP SMACKERS Christmas clearance. Addicted to lip balm seriously....

9. Cheese curd. Soooo good.

10. NARNIA! The third movie is so my favorite....

11. Not having to go to work...he he....

17. Having parent in laws help us with tons of things around the house! So ready now for 2011.

18. 7 layer mexican dip and beef and cream cheese roll ups...wouldn't be New Year's Eve without them.

19. Finally sleeping again

20. Waking up multiple mornings and being so glad I had been kept from giving into the temptation of the eating disorder.....


Now for my ten lows:

1. My parents calling and telling me they'd talked to the family member about the incident and I wasn't thrilled with that person's response.

2. Freaking out over calories in cottage cheese

3. Freaking out over calories in ginger ale

4. GPS adventures coming back from New York

5. Crying through the whole Christmas Eve service

6. Losing my eyeliner (BUT LATER DID FIND IT!!!)

7. Spending 7 dollars for a toothbrush....

8. Being clawed by Izzi because she's afraid of dogs

9. Losing my voice mostly!

10. Heather having to sleep on an air mattress in the bedroom door to keep me from accessing the bathroom


All in all, it was a good time and we plowed through the rough.
