Well, Krista is at horse back riding camp - she has gone for 5 years, and loves the other kids and the horses. THe night before she left, we went to see The Devil Wears Prada - good movie, although I was more on the side of the Meryl Streep character than the young woman, although she does a really good job. Definite chick bonding - DH did NOT want to go. He and I went to see Prarie Home Companion tonight - this is my weekend for a Meryl Streep film festival. A must-see if you're a fan of the show, but otherwise, you won't get it. Robert Altman movies are always strange but interesting.
We also worked out all weekend, and I'm down 2 lbs. This is good.
You know, when I was young, my life was always full of drama. Now, my life is sort of on the dull side. I think this is good, but it doesn't give me much to talk about.
Siena - About the implants - Actually, what I was talking about was that I had just had my first bone density test, and my doctor wants me to go on Fosamax - My bones are starting to lose density, and where I broke my back when I was a teenager (horse went the way he wanted to, I went the way I wanted us to go), the bones are actually osteoporotic.
But I had seen an article about fosamax and dental implants. So I talked to my internist, and I have talked to my oral surgeon. The concern is that two women, who were on chemotherapy and were on fosamax, had dental implants. Their mouths collapsed, and both died. No one knows what part of the mix killed them, but my doctor and oral surgeon both want me to wait to take Fosamax until my teeth are all done.
Valerie - I'm glad that things are settling down with your family - many of them do really care about us, they just aren't very good at it.
Terri - I missed your birthday? I'm sorry... But I am glad that you and your sister had a good talk about family stuff. I only have a brother, and he and I don't get along. It's not hostility - I just think that if someone locked us in a closet together, we'd run out of conversation in an hour. I've moved to the MidWest, and, as far as he is concerned, married down. I'm no use, socially.
I just wish I had some other family I could be close to. MY husband has 26 first cousins, so I have people, but few of my own.
Wow, your Mom sold the old homestead, just like that - be sure to take lots of pix for memories - it'll give you time to say goodbye.
Lilion - I like the sound of that concrete finish. I used to work at the American Concrete Institute, this is the sexy end of the business.
Babysteps - A pound a week is SOOOOO much better than a gain or a stall! I thought I'd lose faster than I do, but I'm going down steadily, although slowly, and I'll get there.
