Events 8-15-10 to 8-31-10

Um, it's all kind of a blur but here's what I can remember:
On Fri 8-20-10 we left for Chattanooga to attend Gamefest South and play lots of games. You can read more about it at Meepletown.com. While we were there, we consumed some of the best food known to man. Of special note is the cake at City Cafe Diner: they have about 70+ different varieties that they make and about 30-40 on hand any given day and they're amazing (we had midnight craving and seven sins). We came back Sun 8-22-10 tired and happy.

Tues 8-24-10 was art class.



Saturday 8-28-10 we got to see our friends Amy and Allen. I knew allen could cook, but the dinner he made was beyond my expctations... soooooo tasty.
Sunday 8-29-10 we played ping pong in the morning and had some of our gaming friends over to play Space Alert in the evening.

Today I was off work for some "me" time and got my hair trimmed and re-colored by my friend Zaque. Still love the haircut, REALLY LOVE the new color!


Other than that, today I ran errands and Chris and I wrapped up the day with board games and TV.

Events of the last... month or so?

Um... lots of things have happened since my last post.

Hubby was without a job for a short period of time due to differences with the management where he worked but he starts a job on monday. The couple of weeks where we weren't sure where we going to get money from was really stressful, but it's all straight now. Now i can stress about other things ;). Hubby seems so much happier not to be at his previous job... YAY!

While all this was going on, my Friend Zaque at Aveda institute cut and colored my hair, did a FABULOUS job and made sure I didn't have to spend too much since the budget was tight at the time.

I keep gushing about my hair and I think Z and hubby are both tired of hearing about it but I really love it! He has a knack for creating styles that work well with my hair's natural tendencies.

I went to art class last week and made a "lovely" painting.

Well, it may not exactly be a masterpiece but it was fun to make and I got to catch up with my former co-worker, Ashley while we painted.

I don't remember if I announced it on here or not but back about mid June, I decided to stop eating and drinking anything sweet to try to get rid of my cravings. The cravings aren't much better, but I've learned that I can ignore them and they will pass like everything else. Also, staying away from sweets altogether for 2-3 weeks was enough for my taste buds to adjust so now most things taste too sweet and I can't stomach more than a few sips of soda or a few bites of cookies/candy/etc.

Last but not least, I have a big super secret project going on that I have done a lot of work on but I am not ready to announce what it is.
