New Year Resolution


I really want to weight 120 again, so we bought an elliptical yesterday. Yes, I am officially that person. The person who joins the gym on January 1st. I was so embarrassed waiting in the check-out line with our new piece of equipment. I bet so many people were saying, "I wonder how long that will last" or "She won't ever use that thing". Scott stayed up until midnight last night putting it together. Today is just the first day, but I really enjoy it. I have only fallen off of it once. I can't do more than a few minutes at a time, but I'm hoping that will change with time. Hopefully I will post a picture in a few months, and people will be able to tell that I've gotten in shape. That's the plan anyways. By the way, anybody buy that chin tightener on the infomercials?? I need one asap.

Partain Produce Coming 2010


We are the proud co-owners of a used tractor that is new to us. Scott and his daddy bought a tractor with hopes that we will have a produce stand in Locust Fork this spring. It is no secret that Scott loves to farm. He usually only has a small garden, but he has decided to try to sell this year. They have been working on getting the tractor running for the past few weeks. They finally got it running and to the Partain's house tonight. We (aka I) have lots of big plans for our venture including t-shirts with Partain Produce Est. 2010 on the back. The new purchase has brought on many cute pick-up lines like "Scott, I think your tractor's sexy" and "You can take me on a ride on your big blue tractor". You guessed it....I got the eye roll.
