Gavin and I hung out today- we had such fun! He's such a good little boy! Jeff is painting our living room right now. We hope to have it finished before our Super Bowl get together in a couple of weeks. Right now, Gavin is watching the Wiggles- he's still not sure what it is, but it still gives mommy a moment while he's occupied for a minute. Usually, the novelty only lasts about ten minutes, but I'll take it!

My uncle had surgery today ~ the doctors thought he might have colon cancer. Good news, it doesn't look like he does! They won't know for sure for another week, but at least its not as bad as they originally thought. I believe my grandfather had colon cancer, but can't remember.

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions- but I am resolving to loose some weight and get healthy this year. I want to live a long life to see my son have his own children. I'm a little inspired by a friend of mine- she had gastric bypass surgery and has lost quite a bit of weight. I know that I can't have the surgery, I don't think I'd want to- it'd have to be a last resort. But, ever since she did, she's completely changed her life. She works out regularly, eats well and its rubbing off on her family.

I've got a few books that I'm going to read- even one that my dad has talked about by a guy named Trudeau.

Its about eating organic foods and the overall food/grocery industry. I know there's some truth in it, it's amazing the stuff we put in our mouths. I'm reading a book right now called "Protein Power." Its pretty interesting. I have insulin resistance, so for me, a diet with higher protein, low fat and low carbs is better.

Ok- I've got a toddler who's hitting capacity playing upstairs with mom so I better get a snack in him before he bursts!
