The Melting Pot

So, I got the best birthday present from the Olsen family... a gift card to go to The Melting Pot!

I have been battling for years with Erik about this restaurant.

I personally think it is the most wonderful invention ever!!! Who wouldn't enjoy a whole meal of fondue? The best is to go for the cheese and chocolate combo.. Who needs an entree when you have cheese and chocolate?? Not me!!

Well, Erik would have to disagree. He thinks it is way overpriced for fondue.. Especially since we have a fondue kit of our own (which BTW he bought a couple years ago for Valentine's Day to AVOID going to The Melting Pot... which I begged him for weeks to take me to). And, once Erik gets his mind set on something... it takes a heck of a lot of patience and persistence to get him to change his mind!

Which, is why, I totally LOVE my gift card to The Melting Pot!

This time, instead of asking Erik if he would take me (for the millionth time), I said, "So, you won't mind if I take the girls out to the Melting Pot would you?" Of course, I thought he would be thrilled because I was politely letting him off the hook.

When, to my surprise, he was like, "You don't want to go with me? I'll totally go with you!"

What just happened?

I guess it's only too expensive if it's your own money! He he he! So, we'll see if it will actually happen girls! But, if he doesn't go with me, you'll be hearing from me soon!

Keep me honest!

So, I've decided to join Weight Watchers again now that I have a more manageable schedule! And, I'm very motivated to lose all the stress weight I gained from my school Internship! So, I figure what better way than to post whether I lost or gained each week! So, I've added a column on the right-side of the page called "Keep me Honest" which will state how many pounds I lost or gained that week. I'm hoping that publishing this information will be motivation enough to keep it on the LOST side of things and not on the GAIN side (which is very typical for me)!

Let's hope 2009 is my year to gain back my skinniness!

Sweet Girl!

The other day I had the chance to babysit my sister's kids. It was so much fun and I couldn't resist video taping Audrey because she was such a cutie! Here's a little clip of her that I took with my phone. I was trying to get her to say "quack, quack" because I just taught her what a duck says but she wasn't playing along! :)

She just loves to run around and check things out! And, hang out around E.. There is a little clip at the end where she runs to E and hangs out with him by the couch. She kept doing that all night... so dang cute!

I had so much fun hanging out with them! We love you Victoria, Brayden, and Audrey! :)
