This weekend…

This past weekend was pretty good.  We didn’t do a darn thing all weekend long.  OK, well we did a couple of things, but our weekend wasn’t filled up like it had been.  We decided that we were going to take it easy all weekend long.  At first we talked about cleaning on the garage.  Well, that was shot down since we thought about watching movies and just cuddling all weekend long.  It was definitely nice.  Then we decided that even though Christmas is just around the corner, we are going to start watching what we are eating.  We have gained so much weight, it is pathetic. 

I’m going to look into seeing how much it will cost to join the YMCA.  After watching the Biggest Loser this year, I want to get on some kind of an exercise program.  I understand that they have nutritionists on staff and trainers so they can help me with a work out program.  To me, that would be awesome.  I know that I can do things at home, but for some reason, when I get home, I become lazy.  I need to be more active.  I was at one time, I even climbed a mountain in Colorado.  What is wrong with me?  Why did I gain so much weight back?  I need to get healthy again.

Well, I am getting myself and my husband on a budget.  I think what I am going to do is give each of us $20.00 each paycheck to do what ever we want with it.  I am going to try to keep mine held back so I can get a new lens for my camera.  That is $40.00 a month.  I will keep my eye out on deals for lenses.  I need a new zoom lens for my camera.  I have a Canon EOS Rebel XTi.  I love my camera, but I only have the 18-55 mm lens for it.  I would like to get up to 300 mm lens for it.  That would make me very happy.  For my regular manual SLR camera, I have 3 different lenses for it.  My old film camera is a Pentax MV.  Love that camera too, but honestly, who uses a film camera anymore.  I will be using it though only because I still have film left for it.  LOL.

Anyway, I have been having some really weird dreams lately.  I have been dreaming that Brian and I own a farm and we have horses, goats, pigs, cows, and chickens.  We thought it would be good to live off the land.  Then I also had a huge garden for us to get our veggies out of.  Then there is also a small orchard.  We have a large out building that we had a kitchen put into it and several large tables for us to feed people.  We also had 2 other large buildings that we were helping the homeless with.  That is why we had a large kitchen put into our out building.  It was very cool the way they all learned how to live off the land and work hard learning other skills, teaching the young girls and their mothers how to cook if they didn’t know how to, etc.  It was so awesome and that would be a dream come true for both of us.  I have always wanted a working farm, being since some of my family had farms and I loved going and doing things with them, and for Brian, his biggest dream is to help the homeless.

Today’s Bible verse is:

Hebrews 12:28

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”
