Hello everyone! I missed you all! I'm finally over my throat thingy, DH's hand is a leeetle bit better (although the dr warned him that it could take a few MONTHS to heal completely!), and DS is a sweetie-pie as always!
I'm up super late tonight (probably all night), so I thought I'd get Monday going for the more bleary of vision
. This is the time of year when the gigantic spiders that live outside come IN and start roaming in the middle of the night! Ugh! So every year during "spider season" my dislike of spiders turns into arachnophobia
, and I am unable to sleep at night
lest I wake to find one too close to me! Fortunately it only lasts about a month or so. I found one crawling on the floor last night at 2 am
and was reduced to a mass of quivering jelly for a few hours
, even after DH bravely disposed of it for me. I'm such a
when it comes to huge spiders!
On a brighter note, I've lost a total of 12 lbs
: , and when I went shopping for some jeans this weekend, I discovered I'd dropped a size
! Yay! I celebrated by buying some shirts, too! I've been the same size for so long now, that I can't even remember the last time I wore this size!
Marianna - hope your friend comes in - the water's fine!
Schatzi - congrats on the loss of your hips!
Ruthxxx - how'd the sale go? Are you feeling recharged today? How's the knee?
Pearshape - I'm glad you had a nice time in the woods!
Littlechick - sorry your snuggle didn't work out, but I'm glad you had a nice visit, even if you paid for it the next day. Hope you feel better soon! Have you tried Metamucil?
Artemis - feeling better now?
Sil - hope you had a nice time! Sounds like fun!
Ellis - good thing you happened along! Did you enjoy the exhibit?
Beachbum - kids sometimes just have to get things out of their system and make their own mistakes (ours aren't good enough!). How old is he - 20something? Men are so slow to mature! He'll grow up, eventually! Congrats on the weight loss! Yay! I'll have to try the veggie soup idea.
Kiko - they are sooo sweet when they are little and not yet walking! Fortunately my little man is still a snuggler... sometimes... when he's not busy running around like a hurricane trying to tear the house and all within it into shreds!
Candy - hope you had fun at the shower!
soon2bfab - are you feeling better?
anchor - has your treatment taken effect yet?
mamacita - I will DEFINITELY look for your soup recipe! DH and I never use a lot of salt, most of the time I cut it waaaay down or leave it out altogether. Most restaurant food tastes salty, not to mention canned soups! Ugh! My MIL did some spinning for a time, although I think she gave it up in favor of spending the time knitting. I tried to learn to spin, but never really got the hang of it! I only had 1-2 lessons, though. I'm with you on the instant gratification - I must have 2-3 unfinished sweaters laying around, plus a baby blanket I started for my baby cousin (who is now 16!).
Weezle - Hang in there! Don't get stressed about your diet now, too - more stress is what you DON'T need right now! Just do the best you can to take good care of yourself, and tackle it again when you feel able.
Everyone have a lovely day on the beach!
