Update

Time is just flying by. We're already half way through May and I have no idea where the last two weeks have gone. Work has been fun and challenging lately. I'm enjoying what I've been working on so that has been keeping me pretty preoccupied. We recently got a subscription to Netflix, so we've been spending a lot of our evenings watching movies and hanging out.

Last Sunday we got a chance to spend some quality time with both my Mom and CJ's Mom. We spent breakfast with my Mom and lunch with his Mom. It was a good time and was nice to be able to see both of them. However, I was in a super cranky mood all day and it just so happened that Ciege was also a little irritable. It was definitely one of those days where you are just super happy to get to bed so that you can go to sleep and start fresh on a new day.

We're doing the "Biggest Loser" contest again at work. This time around there are 8 participants and each of us put $75.00 in the pot. The winner will be the person(s) who consistently loses at least 1 pound per week until the end of the contest, which is the first of July. Ciege and I are currently the only ones in the contest who have consistently lost. I've lost about 16 pounds and Ciege has lost about 10. We're feeling great, getting to the gym more often...and unfortunately obsessed with dieting right now. Dieting can be such a consuming and draining thing. Although we're feeling very motivated, it will be nice when these healthy habits become more of a way of life for us and we don't have to concentrate on it so much. And I can't wait until I don't fit into a single pair of my current jeans so that I can go shopping for new ones :)

The dog is driving me CRAZY. We're going through a rough spell with him because he has become completely neurotic. It all started with a stupid laser pointer. We found that if we shined a laser pointer he would go crazy and chase the light around. His little tail would wag and we thought it was great. Well that silly laser pointer opened up a new world of possibilities in his little doggee brain because now anytime there is any kind of shadow or light on a wall he goes crazy. He spins and fixates on it and won't settle down. He smacks his little face on the wall trying to bite the shadows. I can't put on my makeup in the morning without him freaking out because of the shadow my compact mirror makes on the wall. We're really going to have to figure out how to break him of this.

And I think that is pretty much all that has been happening at the Sweigarts lately. I'm really disappointed with my lack of blog posting lately. My life can't really be this boring!
