Hello, My Name is Carrie and I am an addict...

I admit it! I am addicted to blogs!  I love reading other people's blogs and get so excited when I find someone that posts every day!  If I come across a new blog I will spend every spare minute that I have to start from the beginning and catch up on the entire blog.  I just found a new blog to "stalk" a few days ago.  The person started it over a year ago and writes in it faithfully so it is taking a little while for me to catch up.  I have made it to July of this year so I'm getting pretty close to catching up!  It's a good thing she posts pretty much every day!

I also love blogs that show craft or "re-purposing" furniture ideas.  Before and after pictures make me a happy girl!  Things like that inspire me to get crafty and start doing fun things like that.  I'm still learning the blogging basics so I haven't been brave enough to post my crafts yet but maybe I will someday.  I figure I should get a little more used to writing my blog before I try to add little special things :)

I am definitely open to finding more blogs to follow so if anyone would like to suggest any, feel free!  I love and look forward to turning my computer on in the morning and catching up on other people's lives!

A New Leaf

I have a huge problem...I am FAT!  Since moving to Alabama in July I have gained at least 10 lbs!  And let me just say that I wasn't exactly thin before adding those new pounds.  I am tired of being uncomfortable in my clothes and having to try on a tons of outfits before finding anything that I can it well enough to go out in public in!  I woke up this morning and decided that it is time to turn over a new leaf in my life.  It is time to get in shape and start feeling better about myself.  So, right after the kids left for school I walked a little over two miles.  To be completely honest, it wore me out!  More proof that I am way out of shape!  Hopefully I will stay strong and motivated and not give up like I have done too many times before.  Anyone have any tips or maybe some motivational strategies?  Anything that can help me would be greatly appreciated!
