baby shower

our good friends cilla and jason are having TWINS after trying for some time now just as we did and we are so excited for them. jeanette along with a long list of other ladies hosted a baby shower for them this weekend at our house and there was a HUGE turn out! whenever me and carson left to go over to her dad's house there were at least 50 people or so. they evidently had a lot of fun and even more importantly jason and cilla really racked up on a lot of stuff. and, the great thing is, they still have 2 more showers being thrown by other people! they're going to need all the stuff they can get. we're finding out more and more every day how much STUFF these little munchkins need. if you know cilla and jason and want to send them a gift shoot me an email or contact me through myspace and i'll tell you how to get a hold of them or get you an address to send it to them at. if you know them then you know how much of a blessing they are to everyone they touch and it's always nice to be able to be a blessing back to people like that who always give so much to everyone else. like i said, just shoot me an email or contact me through myspace and i'll tell you how to contact them...if for nothing else to even tell them congratulations. my email is mattdogg80@hotmail.com

3 Day Weekend

you really can't beat self-employment. when it's easter weekend and you want to take 3 days off; you just do it. there's not much like having a job that allows you to work hard and play harder and reap all the benefits. well, i think i'm gonna go hop in bed and try to get as much sleep as possible because we have a lot of playing to do this weekend!

gym

that's right, we finally did it. after talking about it since we got married 8 years ago we finally joined the gym. i have to say that it was totally worth it too. i feel so much more energy and healthier. i even had a friend of mine at an award's banquet last friday ask me if i had lost some weight. and the answer is no...i just re-proportioned a good bit of it. i've been working out at least 3 days a week or more and so has jeanette and she joined a yoga class that she loves. this is defintely one of the best things that we could have ever done. we've spent countless dollars on insuring that we become unhealthy and it's finally time that we start combatting that with something. we go april 1st to do a body comp and full work up to find out how healthy or unhealthy we really are. i'm anxious to see how the results to that turn out.

unhealthy

i am noticing more and more how unhealthy i am getting. i am so out of shape and i eat the most horrible things. don't get me wrong, i'm not one of these crazed health fanatics that run around hugging trees and condemning all who eat fast food to a firey eternity. all that being said, it is still very obvious to me how horribly i eat and don't exercise at all. this has really been bugging me lately as i have gone to put on an old shirt or pair of pants or shorts that i love but haven't worn in a long time only to find them too tight to even come close to buttoning. i have a closet full of perfectly good dress shirts that i can't wear a tie with anymore because i can't get the top button to even touch the other side of the shirt. i think we're going to join the gym this weekend. i've got to do something before this gets out of hand.
