Finally, my words will grace you with their presence.

Oh hey. Finally figured out Jake's invites were being sent to my junk mail and while I should be working, I thought this was more important. Or more distracting.

Anyways, so the two things I had decided on giving up on were ice cream (my big dessert weakness) and letting Connor watch more the 20 minutes of TV. It has been really interesting and the TV thing is definitely not going so well. But let me start with the thing I am doing GREAT on - not eating ice cream.

I didn't realize how often I give into my ice cream cravings. On road trips I almost ALWAYS get some form of ice cream each time we stop at the gas station (my fave is the Tollhouse Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches). So those are out. We are still at my in-law's house and let me tell you, temptation is very abundant. There are these ice cream sandwiches called "It's-It" that are so so so yummy. They are oatmeal cookies with ice cream in the middle, dipped in chocolate. I have had to watch my family (INCLUDING RYAN) eat the deliciousness in front of me and stay in good spirits about it. There have also been a few Dairy Queen runs to get blizzards and I just simply said "no thanks!" Which is a big deal for me!

I will be honest though, I haven't really felt tempted to cheat or sneak anything. It is kind of nice showing some form of self control, even in just one thing.

The TV thing will have to wait until we get back to Rexburg. When we are the only ones in the house here, it is not a big deal, however when other family members are here it is a bit more difficult to keep Connor from watching TV. More on that later.
