Oh Alaska.....

Oh Alaska, how I've loved you. I loved your free spirit, your independence and your beauty.
At least that's how it used to feel. Now it feels like you've turned on me. Turned into one of "those" places. I wish I could turn back time, and I could find a way.... Yes Cher, I wish I could turn back time too. I'd never come back to Alaska, and kept all my nice memories. My rose colored glasses.

So how can I get out of here? What will it take? I've obsessed about moving to Seattle for years now, and I'm not getting any younger. So what can I do to do it?

Too much

Gluten free is hard, very hard. I tried it, and failed. Though I did feel better I didn't think  I needed to continue on the diet. Maybe another time I can try it again. In the meantime I'm becoming more and more interested in making my own bread products. I've learned how to make some yummy french bread. Next on the tackle list is buns..... Hamburger, hot dogs, just buns.

Gluten Free?

Well this week I've decided for my own experiment to go gluten free. I have relatives that are celiacs so I figured why not try it out. So far I've had more energy and don't feel as puffed up. We'll see how it goes.

New Year's Resolutions

Who out there has those resolutions? I resolve to lose 80lbs, hit the books pretty hard and stop using credit cards for anything. That should be nice and easy right? My son starts school in 2015. I can't believe the time has gone by so fast.

I want to track my progress on these goals on here.  Today I weigh 208 lbs. School starts back up for me next week.

So it's been a few months, I still haven't figured anything out yet. Oh well. Schedule is the biggest thing but it's been hard to hammer one down. My school work isn't getting done but then again I haven't been in the right frame of mind for it either. I think I'm ready not just for the change in working but for a big change in environment. Now if only my husband can find a job outside.....

New Adventures

I'm taking on a new adventure in life. I've decided to spend the last year before Jack has to go off to school at home with him while I finish up my last year in school. I'm so nervous about this change, on whether or not I can do it so maybe if I share my experience it might make me a little more sane! So far the only thing I've done is talk about it, for a while, but I'm now ready to make the leap and give notice at my cozy DOT Network Support job. Beginning in April, I will be a stay at home mom and full time student only. Wish me luck!

BTW, I'm so sick of snow and slick winter roads.
