This afternoon, Pete and I saw The Love Guru. We were both feeling really sick today, and this helped to lift our spirits! It was SO funny! I have not laughed THAT hard in a really long time. Was it raunchy, yes, was there inappropriate stuff, yes, would I want my parents to see it, no. I am a BIG Mike Myers fan, and as usual, he made us laugh! I give this movie 8 out of 10 for making us laugh so hard, and 1 out of 10 for content. It was made to make people laugh, and it did it's job :)

This afternoon, Pete and I went to see Get Smart. It was pretty funny! It had a bit of a Mr. Bean type humor. I really like Steve Carell, so that was a bonus right off the top :) It's a family friendly movie, so I liked that as well. I give the movie 8 out of 10 stars!

You know it's time to dust the fan in the bedroom, when your husband does this.....

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Pete and I have decided to DO something about our lifestyle! There will no longer be alcohol in our home at ANY time, Pete is cutting down on his smoking, we are going to START to eat healthier, and we are going to start exercising every day. We are going to start off slowly, as to not freak ourselves out and get discouraged. We're doing "baby steps". We're both tired of feeling like crap. We would LOVE for you to pray for us as we start this journey together :) We want to be accountable to you, our friends and family. Our biggest struggle at this time, is snacking while at our computers. Pete and I each have our own computers and each of us snack ALL the time while "computing." The second biggest struggle, is Pete's smoking. There is a routine, and unless you've been a smoker, you don't realize how difficult giving smoking up is. There's the *first smoke of the day, *after bathroom smoke, *after breakfast/lunch/ dinner smoke, *after "nookie" smoke, and all the ***"just because smokes" in between.

*** Theses are smokes for reasons like, I've annoyed Pete, or he's frustrated with something, he's excited about something, he's talking on the phone etc.

The smoking and drinking pretty much go hand in hand. Pete is currently on his LAST bottle of alcohol, which will be gone by the end of today. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to paint a bad picture of my husband. He is an amazing, wonderful man, but like all of us, he has his cravings and addictions. My BIG struggle is being home all day, and not being tempted to snack. That's a tough one, but I am going to do my best to snack on fruits and veggies when I feel tempted. We have a water cooler, and one trick I have learned, is to drink a glass of water if you THINK you are hungry. If you are STILL hungry AFTER the glass of water, then it's true stomach hunger and not just head hunger. I will try to keep you updated, as to how things are going with our new lifestyle. Thanks again for all of your love, support, and prayers :)

On Tuesday, Pete and I went to see The Happening. I thought it was pretty good, and give it 4 out of 5 stars. Mark Whalberg was in it, and he was as yummy as usual :) It was pretty graphic as far as gore goes, so if you are NOT a fan of blood and that sort of thing, DO NOT go see this movie...there is quite a lot of blood. The idea behind the movie is pretty good, and you don't actually know what's causing all the chaos, until about half way thru the movie. I can't remember if there was any swearing, since I was high on morphine during the show, but there wasn't any nudity. So that's my review of The Happening :)

Well, it's coming to that time of year again! Friday is Relay For Life 2008!!!! I can't believe this will be my fifth year participating! This year will be extra special, because Pete will be coming! I am so VERY thankful to the Canadian Cancer Society! They have helped me so much, especially in the medication department! They pay for all of my chemotherapy drugs! Without them, I would be paying $1,500/month for my chemo! You know when you get a call from the Canadian Cancer Society, asking you to give money? Well, that's just one of the many things that the money goes towards;meds for cancer patients. I look forward to Relay EVERY year! Once again, this year I will be working in the Survivors tent! I won't be on a team, since I will have to be doing a bit of running around during Relay. I encourage all of you to come out to this fun, family event! There is SO much to see and do there! They have live entertainment all night, and be sure to stay for the always emotional, luminary ceremony at 10pm. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I am not in a very good frame of mind today. Just really overwhelmed with emotions, mostly sadness. I'm glad it's Pete's short day today....he get's off in an hour :)
