My Knight - Oh how I adore Thee

I called my sweetie this evening at the normal time - he didn't answer. I figured he was in the bathroom, which 5 minutes later he called and that is precisely where he was. I was cooking my dinner (mexican style salad, no tortilla). He said to me he has something to say. I said "okay." He said he never wants me to doubt his love for me, or if we are fine (a question I sometimes ask too often - distance can play mindgames on you after a while). He then proceeded to tell me he is going to sell his car. It's parked at his parent's and he doesn't use it. He has no need for it to be honest living in the part of NY he does. I was like "okay." Then he said he is going to sell some of his comics. I started to cry.

You see, his passion is comics. He's been collecting them since he was a little boy. He has thousands of them. Some are worth a pretty penny, let me tell you. I asked him why. He said because he needs to have the money in his account to show immigration he can take care of me. Yes he makes enough per year, but doesn't really have anything in his accounts. Yes he has a 401K, but I am not sure that will count. So he's going to sell his "Hulk #181" which is the first appearance of Wolverine. It's in good condition, therefore is worth around 800 dollars. ANd he said he will go through his comics and sell a few others. I started to cry as I mentioned.

I told him I didn't want him to do that. I told him I didn't him to hold it against me in the future or regret his decision. And he said something to the effect of (I was really emotional so I can't remember his exact words) "I can buy them back one day, or you can buy them back for me one day. But I can only marry you once, and I don't want to risk losing that chance. You are more important."

I burst into tears telling him that has to be the sweetest thing he has ever said to me. I am trying not to cry right now as I write this. I just told my mom this like 30 minutes ago and was totally in tears.

He has already got 3 people interested in his car. One who will be going to see it tomorrow. The selling point was the fact it's EXCELLENT on gas. Twenty dollars a month was all he spent on gas for it and he used it everywhere!

So my baby... My Knight in shining Superhero armor is doing this so he can, as he said to me to tell my mom... "so I can afford my wife."

*starts crying*

We have had our issues... BIG issues, but I always knew there was a reason I kept holding on for us to be together. He's the sweetest man I know and I love him with all my heart and soul. I can't wait for the day I am finally his wife and never have to let him go. never have to leave him again. Never have to say good-bye, except when we are going out with our own friends or off to work. I miss him so very much. I hope these next few months fly by. And that by christmas or January, I will be there, married to him and finally have my BIGGEST dream come true.

Hair

I have always had problems with frizzy hair. IT's because my hair is actually naturally curly, though now it's more wavy then curly. And lately with the over 2 weeks of rain we've been getting, it's almost crazy how frizzy it is. Anyhow, I put a post in my "LJ" about it and asked if anyone knows any good products to ease the frizz. Well my friend Jessica suggested Frizz-Ease by John Frieda. She has very curly hair... beautiful hair, and that it works for her.

Anyhow, I had a sample of Radiant Red, by John Frieda in the mail weeks ago. I decided to use it today. My hair is now a medium auburn... though I'd like to do red one day. My hair is so soft right now, even after blowing drying it. Sooooooooooo, next pay, I am going to buy his line of Frizz-Ease shampoo and conditioner. HOpefully this will help my frizzies and make my hair grow better.

I am quite excited. Oh yes.. girly girl am I!! :D

I had the Best Time Today!

Today was just the best day! In fact, this whole weekend was wonderful. Tonight I talked to my Sweetie for just over 3 hours!! He was geeking out over comic books (his passion) and I had such a blast talking with him. We talked about which characters I could dress up as when we go to Comic book conventions. So much fun!! I had a yummy dinner of fish sticks and tater tots! I know, odd to get excited over that, but I haven't had them in YEARS, so it was exciting. Then I had a piece of chocolate cheesecake... Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Threw out another bag of crap today, but then just did the usual dusting and vacumming.

Talked to my mom and brother, relaxed, fixed a skirt I have that was too big and successfully managed to alter it. And no I don't have a sewing machine - I hand stitched it. I have awesome sewing abilities. :)

It's just been a wonderful day and I am very happy because of it! :D

Today is a big day!

As most of my friends know, I have been trying to lose alot of weight in just over 2.5 years. I hated being fat. I was 235 pounds. I would cry alot when I was alone, because I didn't like what I saw. I felt like a thin person in a fat person's body and it was just horrible. Then a friend of mine suggested Atkins. I did some research and was happy with what I read so I started it. I lost around 70 pounds on Atkins - in less than a year. Before starting Atkins I lost 20 pounds on Slim fast and just cutting out burgers and fries. After Atkins, I didn't really try for a few months. And I got frustrated again. So I began to watch what I ate again and tried to control the amount of carbs I was eating, but didn't do Atkins again, as I lost alot of hair and I am still trying to get it all full and thick again (though I don't think it will be that way again, but it's MUCH better than when on Atkins). Then I plateau'd again. So I went to e-Diets.com and filled out the free profile and subscribed to their newsletters. I liked what this one man said on there. So I started to watch my calories and it began to happen again. This made me happy. Now over the past 6 months, I have been on again off again. Then in April, I decided to set a goal for myself. To reach 125 pounds by the end of May.

Well there's still a few more days until the end of the month, but I DID IT!! AS OF TODAY I AM 125 POUNDS! I am a size 6 - 10 depending on the brand of clothing.

So now, it's firming this body up more. My abs are more defined, but can be alot better. I still need work on my tummy and thighs, but it's all coming along rather well.

I never thought I'd see the end of this - but I have. Sure, I'll have to watch what I eat forever, but I REFUSE to ever be fat again.... I have lost 110 pounds!

The Big me


And Me a couple of weeks ago!! Yes I know it's on my profile, but still wanna put it here...

I'm a Raving Mad Cleaning Woman!!

Well today I have thrown out a ton of crap I won't be taking. threw away some of the stuffed animals that mean nothing to me anymore - the others will be packed. I refuse to get rid of all my belongings. I went through my CDs and threw away a bunch of them. Threw away most of my purses. And just a bunch of stuff I don't need anymore. I have three boxes packed. Books, china, and paperwork and pictures and stuff like that. Still ALOT more to go through, but I am getting there and don't seem to be stopping. Just taking more breaks is all.

So that has been my day thus far.

Somebody stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehee :D

Progress

Passport - Check! (Scary pic let me tell ya!)
Long form Birth Cert. - Processed and is sent. Will receive next week. :)
Medical Appointment - June 20th.
Step One - Will be completed friday (tomorrow) and faxed in.

Wow, this is going pretty quickly. Kinda freaky. Now just gotta send my Sweetie the stuff he needs to do with clear, simple instructions from me, so he won't be overwhelmed. He hates paperwork. I think it confuses him.

Police certificate will be done either in the morning of the day of my doctor's appointment or shortly thereafter.
Photos will be done not this pay, but next. Need them for doctors.

This weekend - Start going through all my stuff and throw out or give away the things I don't need or will be too bulky to take. This process makes me sad, but hey, I knew it was going to happen.

So there you have it. What has happened in just this week alone. CRAZY!!

Long Weekends

You know, you always look forward to a long weekend and then when it's here, you get bored. Most especially when you don't have money to spend to go anywhere. Sure you sleep late, relax, do chores at your own pace as there's no hurry, even take a walk in the sunshine, but still you are bored. Where I'd like to be able to visit is here...


It's Ballynagowan Castle in County Clare Ireland. It's a self catered castle and you can spend an entire week there if you wish. Just you and whomever you bring along. It's small, but the inside pics are quite cozy. It's from the site, www.celticcastles.com. Very awesome site if you ever wish to visit the UK and wish to spend some time in a castle.
