You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

So as I am home on my 7th snowday this year, and I am just a bit bored. We keep missing these days and there is no snow on the ground. I mean seriously...I got up at 5 for my workout, turned on the TV and we are out of school. I look at the window and there is nothing on the ground. I am just so frustrated with this. I don't want to be in school for the entire month of June! Anyway as I was bored I went blog surfing and found this. Now since I love ice cream and really can't have it right now with the whole weight loss thing thought it was kind of humorous.

As you can see, the weight loss is moving right now but I feel as I have reached this plateau and am trying to punch through. As of today I am more than halfway to my goal. That's great but just can't kick through this and get that number to move some more.

Today is also Valentine's day so....

Not a huge fan of the holiday but I guess some like it...go figure!

While I was on the treadmill for my daily workout today, I got to watch CNN for an hour and listened to Bush's press conference. Many of the questions asked were about the war in Iraq and that of course got me thinking about my brother. Now while we knew he was leaving for Baghdad in May, we really weren't concerned because he was going to get a 30 day leave to come home before he left. We found out last week that his deployment date has been moved up to the end of March and the 30 day leave has been cancelled. At this point we really don't know whether we will be able to get to see him before he leaves or not at this point. This sucks, cause he is going to be gone for an entire year. I'm hoping either he or us can find a weekend free and go to Seattle to see him before he leaves, but it looks very doubtful. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as well as all of the other armed forces.
