I guess you figured out I was back from vacation. Back for a month now.

We had a great time. We were gone for 9 days and it flew by. The rest of that week we stayed home and were lazy.

I haven't been posting much because I guess I don't have much to say. I have been a bit down, but I really didn't mean to be away this long.

Halloween was wonderful. We had our yard all decorated and according to Michael (I missed most of it) we had about 120-150 kids come by trick or treating. He even had to run to the store to buy more candy that evening. I didn't get off work until 6:30 and home until 7:20 so I missed most of it. I am going to take next Halloween off. I have been waiting for a great Halloween for a long time. When we lived in the apartment every year we would buy a couple bags of candy and sit and wait. And wait but no one would ever come. This year it was a wonderful surprise.

I had some serious stomach issues while on vacation. At first I blamed the chiles, but I only ate them at two meals. I was having some serious pain and reah. It was awful.

I was still having these problems when I got back so I went to see the doctor. He gave me some pills to take when I have stomach pain and some different pills for a tums replacement.

Today the blood tests came back and I was busted for not taking care of myself. My blood sugars were really high and for some reason my triglicerides are out of control. I need to get serious. I am working on a plan and I need to bring on the exercise. I have been lazy too long.

I read everyones posts about the cold, the snow, having to stay inside, wearing sweaters etc, and I have to say, as much as I hate the Texas heat, I went swimming this afternoon and it was wonderful. Gotta love fall and winter here.

I need some advise, I have been looking at Amazon and at stores here and there, does anyone know what would be a great birthday/Christmas present for a 2 year old girl? I really need some help here.
