Christmas time is in full swing around the Far from Perfect household. Decorations are up and presents to be wrapped. Some photos of the decor this year.


We made Candy Christmas Trees

The mantle is my favorite thing I decorated this year.

And we have even already had snow....IN TEXAS!

And two visits to Santa Clause already.


Hope you all are having as much fun getting ready for Christmas as I am.

Next weekend will be Christmas candy & cookie baking weekend!


I've had a camera mishap AGAIN. This time it's Drama to blame. So my camera is trashed so my pictures are crap because they are with my phone. My apologies.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Getting sick of my factory home color paint.

Took of my first toilet seat back as seen in this itty bitty photo. :)

Time to Far From Perfect it up. First project the half bath.
Paint color of choice.....drum roll please......PRAIRIE GRASS.

It's like a warm yellow and much brighter than it looks in this photo. I will get some better shots once the whole process is complete & redecorated. I can't wait to see the finished product outside of my head. :)

BRACES

Isn't he the handsome-est?!?!?

BAKING

Did a little baking over the weekend to suffice my domestic side. :)

TEENAGER IN THE HO-OUSE

I've been so busy l-i-v-i-n my blogging as been.....well...worthless.

But on November 27 my #1 born, my big P, my Drama, my P-Nut, my Peter Pan....my beautiful baby boy....who changed my whole life and turn my world from wrong side up to upside down. My "angel from God" who saved me when all my cards were down. My beautiful wonderful son Parker turn 13 and became a teenager.

Happy Birthday my angel from God!

THE GAME PLAN - WEEK 1

Well I have to say I am not ecstatic about week 1, but I am satisfied. Day 1 weight was 157.4 and day 7 weight was 155.2. So 2 pound goal for the week met. I do great at the beginning of the week and pretty good during the week, it's the weekends that get me. Well more like Thursday, Friday, Saturday...I'm just pooped. But I'll take what I can take & 2 pound goal reach....so shut your pie hole , right? :)
I'm still working on it, so one week down.

Until next week....KEEP ON MOVING!

THE GAME PLAN

With Thanksgiving done & over with & a trip to LA right around the corner in February there is a new game plan on the table. The plan to lose 25-30 pounds in 8-10 weeks. Dropping 2-3 pounds a week. YIKES! LA bound I want to look good & I'm just ready to drop these extra pounds I've put on over the past year & a 1/2 since my move to the Lone Star. I weighed this morning & I can't believe I'm sorry this out loud, but current weight is 158 pounds according to my scale.

The goal weight is between 125-130 & I will even be cool with between 130 & 135 as long as it's muscle & not jiggle. :) So starting tomorrow November 29th through February 7th IT'S ON! Running, Yoga, Pilates, boot camp work out, abs, push ups, better eating, cutting back on my sugar intake - it's all on. Got to do it. JUST DO IT!

It's time for a life style change.
I will save the before & after picture when there is an after. :)
Wish me luck! :)

BTW I know I have been out of touch, but I promise to catch up on all my blogging tonight.
