Well, i am writing today with not a lot on my mind. I think i've really got it good though. After reading Saras blog i'm like whoa! This is a life that i am happy to live. Close friends all around even if they do have to move a bit after we've gotten really close, and gotten to know eachother like we never did before. And more close friends moving near who i have loved and missed for a long time. Scott is my rock of a husband who will be finishing his Redding job next week (i'm crossing my fingers here, which makes it difficult to type, and i'm no good at typing to begin with, a sort of hunt and peck motion while useng like to fingers and a thumb). He'll be down in time for P girls birthday and his parents arrival from Michigan. Which i have to remind everyone is'nt a midwest state. Its part of the Great Lakes Region. Ha Ha! i wonder if all Michiganders know this? We are very excited about many things these days. Sams birthday is next week. last night when he was upset about going to bed (AT 10 O'CLOCK!)
all i had to do was start whispering about his birthday and grammy and pa pa flying out and chocolate cake and balloons and chuck e. cheese and he quieted down to listen and together we caught the excitement bug. Oh yeah and we whispered about Scotts new motorcycle. He got it yesterday. I made him get a yellow helmet, but the bike is black and he said that because he got a smallish one, it will one day be mine and he'll get the big one he really wanted. Yeah right! I manned my own jet ski last year. A very safe one that cannot tip over. That was enough for me to know that i will be a passenger, no problem, but i don't like how out of control i feel when i'm the one giving the power. It DOES NOT sound like me now does it? With children, and wisdom, i have become someone who does'nt jump off 65 foot cliffs, and who does'nt like the idea of massively powerful motorcycles under my control. Who would have thought?
Um, what else? Now i guess i have my whole diet thing to be thrilled about. 14 pounds lost in 24 days. No world record, but it has all been done the right way. Earlier i read that to sustain myself at about 160 pounds i'd need 2400 calories a day, and to lose weight i'd need about 800 less than that. All i know is that i stopped counting calories over a week ago because i am totally in tune with what my meals should look like. I know when i should eat them and i know what i've given up is something that i never needed in the first place. Its funny how my body is on the slow adjustment track, while my mind is on the fast track. I wish that people could already see the results, because that will be massively encouraging. But maybe when scott comes home he'll see. And guess who else is thinning out? Samuel. I think he just grew an inch and his tummy is like a little boy tummy now. Its all these veggies i'm feeding him. Actually he ate a corn dog for lunch, a frozen corn dog! But everyday he eats his salad greens and toamtoes and does'nt mind maushrooms and zuccini in his eggs. I could'nt be more thankful. And when i do my weight lifting and stretches hes right there imitating me. So cute.
Well thats that and i am all around thankful for every one of my friends, whether they're moving close, or one day will be...JUST KIDDING! Hope to see everyone soon.
