Thought of the day:

"What might seem to be a series of unfortunate events,
may in fact, be the first steps of a journey"

Lemony Snickets


Question of the day :

"How do you enjoy lemons?"

Frogger---Be very aware of what you saying to this soon to be excoworker......In fact, it might not be a bad idea to suggest that you're email , phone add will be change due to "virus, etc" ..... This guy is probably harmless but letting him think you are going to be chaning addr/ ph # maybe a safety net for yourself..

I can relate to the clique feeling.... try to find a stairway to climb or get outside to get some activity points ...... sometimes thats all I need to feel more cheerful..

Anagram! COngrats on slaying the RA med weight gain! GOOD FOR YOU!


Must run...


SPecial hugs to all... welcome Veganvixen!


KETTLE IS ON!

Again, food yesterday not atrocious but just the wrong side of "good". "Exercise" was a lot of running around and walking in Wallyworld and then a different grocery store for its bargains. Then last evening at dusk got a burst of something and went out and attacked some overgrown azaleas with vengeance. So close to an hour of E's "penance" there - though for me it's something I love to do when all comes together enough to give me energy/ambition. I'll be working on this "redo" probably the whole summer until I get these three cut down and shaped up and the surrounding ivy, etc. pulled out. SHOULD be working on culling closets and just general but somehow the WANT TOS always win over the SHOULDS.

G'mornin'!

Hi, all, sorry this is a flyby when there's so many great :queen: s in residence but if I don't go out 'n do the "penance" the sun'll come up and at this point in time where I live that's not the best time to clear weeds from the prison yard!!! :lol:

Most of my experiences, menus, etc., are posted on the journal. E, thanks for visitin' me today ... re peace, I'm tryin' ... it kind of helps to talk about it so guess that's why I'm likin' the journaling right now ... seems it has a life of its own, if that makes sense?

CEARA, SENDING THE MOST HEALIN' VIBES I CAN FIND ALL IN THY DIRECTION!!!! I know it'll all go great and you'll come back to a wonderfully ok workplace, too!!!

Vegan, I have the Lemony Snicket game for Gameboy Advance SP (my secret vice, I'm addicted to games for 12-year-olds) ... it's cute ... very depressin' but cute!!! So far I haven't managed to get the kids past the firewood gatherin' task!

Anagramatic, the Solitaire I downloaded from a popular website (for a small price) does have a "take back" feature!!! :lol: Too bad my life's not like that ... else I wouldn't be doin' the "penance" actually! :lol:

Gotta go, love to all!

Ceara, knew it was this week, was concerned about not hearing from you. Normal to be fretting 'bout now. Happy you have Mom's to go to. Take it as easy as you can and things will go better later on. When you're at your place, you're "on call" no matter what (at least in our minds), so think only peaceful, restful, ceara-centered thoughts as much as you can. If things get royally screwed up at work, maybe they'll come to value you all the more (note I said "maybe" - we can always hope). And your girls will appreciate you all the more but I'd still recommend no jumping. I gather this is not being done vaginally (as mine was) since you say "incision". But jumping (on) wouldn't be good either way. Will be virtually holding your hand and whispering encouraging words.

E., I'm so eager to get out and whack some more azaleas. I must be a glutton for penance. Had a really good night's sleep and am not "up and at 'em". This being back at normal speed seems strange after the month or so on prednisone. Got a lot done when "speeded up", thank goodness.

Wildfire, you have pointed out my lack of Retail Therapy recently and I hope to make amends one day soon. I don't really NEED anything materially speaking but sometimes we just have to do our bit for the economy and all that. Enjoy wearing those great boots.

QOD - probably only in fresh lemonade.

The Lemony Snicket quote seems so apt. And so Courtly as we all journey on.

Wednesday May 25, 2005
 

Good mornin' dahlings,

Quick postie, then I must away to attend to the horses and dogs - mums is out camping for the rest of the week so I'm on critter duty. At least it's not pouring down rain this time! :lol:

VV, *whew* I thought maybe we scared ya off or something! ;) Very cool that you're going to be a Doula soon. A friend of mine is due in December and asked if I would like to attend the birth (a home birth), since in this life I seem destined to remain "eccentric Auntie Terri" with no children of my own (that aren't furry). I wholeheartedly, and very enthusiastically said "YES!" and am SOOOOOO looking forward to seeing a little Chloe or Xander come into the world!

Special events? Too many... dinner with friends this weekend, book group on Friday, spa class on Saturday, Heaven Can Wait 5k next Sunday, trip to CA in 2 weeks, going to SunFest in Washington the next weekend (for Solstice).... I'm tired just typing it! :faint:

Wildfire, so it's 40 when you truly know yourself huh? Ok, I just must have the door opened and am looking in. The 35 year old "you get a peek but can't enter" version of knowing yourself. I'm likin' it though!

Anagram, see, there's this thing about retail therapy.... it's not so much about what you NEED as much as it is about WANT. Buying "needs" don't make you as happy as "wants". LOL!

Ceara, you will be in my thoughts tomorrow!!! Be well, don't worry, and take good care of you for the next few weeks. *hugs*

Amarantha, geeeeez, I hope it cools down for you guys down there! My dad in Yuma said it was 114 over the weekend. Insane!!!! I don't know how you're not just a puddle on the couch when it's that hot! Wish I could send you some of the 32 degrees we had this morning!

Ok, chattered on enough. I can see 4 horsey heads sticking out of their stalls saying "ooooh Ssiiiiiiisterrrrrr, are ya gonna come feed us?????".

Happy hump day everyone!

Terri

So that's my problem, Punkin! I really can't think of anything I WANT - :lol:

S'ok, Punkin, 32 degrees be a tad on the frigid side to me, so you can keep ALL of it up there for yerownself, but the thought be much appreciated! :lol: But, yes, it's hot here, though Yuma is generally hotter than where I am. This is one of the reasons I didn't take the job I was offered there a few years ago. Actually, the heat energizes me ... I finally finished clearing the whole acreage this a.m. except for a small amount of really tall vegetation that I need to tackle separately ... then went to gym and worked out lower bod and triceps. I have a fantastic tan from all this penance, also! (Nope, I don't worry about skin cancer ... probably should but don't).

Anagramatic, thou canst send me some o' those azaleas if you cut 'em down ... wish they'd grow here! :)

ARIA, CONGRATS ON THE GOOD WEIGH-IN WEDNESDAY!!!! :cheer: Good job on makin' progress with the exercise as well!!! Have a good rest o' the week!

Eydie, hope all's well with thy dad!!! Thinkin' o' thee!!! :wave:

To all, mentioned and unmentioned ...

I need to play Solitaire now.

Hi Everybody, just wanted to check in! Garry's taking me away on a surprise quickie trip to the beach--just an overnighter. Yesterday was my birthday and I had to work and it wasn't a great day, shall we say--so I'm just going to forget about all that and have a good time!
See you when I get back! :D

Hello all!

Happy Birthday Eydie! Your trip to the beach sounds maaaarrrrvveeelousss.....

Aria-- GOOD FOR YOU!! Its so great when the scale shows what we know we've been doing should be working!


The week continues to be too fast/too slow for me.... feel like the things on my desk are getting done at the pace of someone slogging thru quicksand.....
and again am making careless mistakes that just make my ears burn I am so embarrassed when the error is discovered.....
am also alternately wanting to cry or just crawl inside a big chocolate something....
even this morning, when I woke up realized my gut was in know dreading the oncoming day......

and still, no word from the other part time job..... I know its the holiday coming on but I am impatient and feel like I deserve something to make me believe patience will win out.....

Ok.... sorry for the me vent but it did help....

Cerise... We're here for you !! Good healthy vibes to your side of the realm!!


So my friednds, thanks for listening......

I had a spponful of 4% fat cottage cheese, a magnesium tablet, some iburprophen and 1 cafntd coffee, 2 decaf teas and feel a little less overwhelmed..... and I guess, really that's what is the worst....

Thanks for the vent... I think that helped too....

also, today's thougth reminded me what's most improtant......

*************

Today's thought :

"First things first"

Question of the day :

"What do you remember about the first day of school?"

*************



KETTLE IS ON!

Amarantha and Kaylets, thanks for the encouragement! :)

Have a great day everyone!

Mornin'

Happy Friday eve all!! Should be a down hill slide to the end of the week. One mechanic's on vacation already and tomorrow 2 of my 3 will be gone... niiiiiice n' quiet! Should of brought something to work to do, like a book, or my crocheting.

Amarantha, aaah... a tan.... That's a color I've never been, will never be, but not for lack of trying. Being a fair redhead I go from white to pink quickly. I did "tan" a little in Hawaii, but it was more of a gray color than warm tan. Then I found out my paternal grandmother died of melanoma (before I was born) and I quit trying! Yikes! But if you can tan, and you're not mole-y, go for it!

Eydie, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! :hat: :cb: Have fun on your quicky trip!

Kaylets, you vent all you need to! It's safer than building up steam and blowing, imo anyway. :)

Q o' the day ~
I remember my dad took me to my first day of kindergarten. I had to be told to tell him goodbye before he left for work (I was already playing) and I remember him being a little choked up. It's a memory that means more to me now as an adult than it did growing up. I "get it" now.

Well, away to feed the equine and canine critters!

Terri

Did I miss Eydie's birthday???
:write: Happy Birthday to you, Eydie!!!

[color=blue][b]Aria, thank YOU for the hug on my journal today ... I've posted my plan for the day there ... basically going to lie down and read a book in a cool place ...

Did 15 mins of the "penance" though ...

Punkin, there's not much choice re tan here, although lots o' folks seem to avoid it by stayin' inside ... I don't like to be inside (except as mentioned on the couch readin') ... in my view, sunscreen is no match for the AZ sun, so I just don't mess with it much, used to do it, but it's not very effective on me ... I've had the more benign form of skiln cancer that is prevalent here, superficial and easily gotten rid of, but melanoma doesn't seem to strike me, happily.

Eydie HAVE FUN!!! Don't worry about anything and happy birthday!!! :hb:

Kaylets, sorry thou hast had a bad day ... don't worry about makin' mistakes at work too much ... seems the more we worry about that the more we tend to make ... we are all human (as people keep tellin' me) ... have a good day.

Ok, gonna do some stuff on this computer and then go back to sleep.

Good morning all!!

SOMEHOW, the leech found me on the commuter train and sat next to me this morning; yappy yappy yappy. I was trying to read the paper and relax a bit before work. I couldn't take it anymore it was stupid trivial dumb things. And he kept asking me if I was ok. (Maybe I had a look on my face or something). I turned to him and asked if he thought he could shut the *F* up for once? Dumbfounded wasn't even the look on his face. It was priceless. He has not bothered me since today. YEAH!!!!!!!

Any big plans for this weekend ladies? I do not. Except to finally put all of the winter stuff and tiny baby clothes away (I have them in bins in various rooms of the house.) It will be good excersise since I haven't done much of anything else lately! Monday we will probebly head over to my sisters for a cookout and get in the pool (weather permitting around here!!) It will be Sydney's first swim.

QOD:
I remember when my mom brought me to the first day of kindergarten. I too had to be told to tell her goodbye as I was already playing. I remember her crying a little but smiling too.

Good for you, Froggie!!! :wave:

Forgot QOD but sittin' here (still) this question made me cry (sheesh, I'm an emotional basket case lately, :queen: s ... WHAT AM I GONNA DO? I CAN'T STOP) ... I remember my "boyfriend" Jerry comin' by (it was his first day also) and he gave me flowers and my mom gave me a little toy to take to school ... the teacher was going to take it away, but didn't ... I remember mom taking Jerry and my picture and we held hands and walked to school ...

Better go back to bed. :queen: s, I just noticed I'm markedly depressed ... guess ya wouldna known it, right? :)

Go Frogger! :cb:

Am I the first this morning to post? OK all you Royals sleeping in!!!

I'm at work until 1pm. Then I'm going home to enjoy my weekend and get my house straight. (And maybe even my flowerbed as it looks REALLY badly overgrown). As a virgo, I cannot stand disaray, which has been constant since Sydney was born. I don't care about her toys being everywhere, I care about our "toys" and folded laundry overflowing the house!

I hope all you ladies have an excellent holiday weekend. :woo:

Wow, just you n' me Frogger!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :cb:

I know whatcha' mean about the "being a Virgo" thing. My ex was a Virgo and had to have his paper money in value order, right side up and neatly stacked in his wallet. Everything had to be in order, whether it was magazine back issues, receipts for vehicle maintenance or anything. So many people say signs don't effect anything about you, but I really have to disagree! :lol: When I bought my house and the lending company made a comment about my good credit rating (above average for my age) I said "of course, I'm a Capricorn". He thought I'd lost my mind.... but it does make sense!

Well all, have an excellent, SAFE holiday weekend! Watch out for the nutters out on the roads... I'll be staying close to home, only going as far as Michael's craft store for more scrappin' supplies!

Smooches!
Terri

A fellow Virgo checking in. I'm not much to abide disorder but not to degree of Punkin's ex.

Pigged out at lunch today (but enjoyed it!). Was premature in proclaiming no weight gain. Gained AFTER I stopped prednisone. Sigh!

Hope all went well, dear ceara! I'll mostly be lurking next few days. Have started giving dh shots in tumtum in prep for his Tuesday surgery and I confess to NOT being in the best frame of mind. Princess Royal and family supposed to come tomorrow - schedule keeps changing and this annoys a Virgo mind. But she is a Sagittarius so it must be a characteristic there.

Good weekend, all.

ok--- This is my 2nd time here, the first post was witty, charming and made lots of sense too....

going to post now to see if this takes

Hmmm. Just checkin' on something ... wonder if my royal sisters think I'm being petty to be miffed by this ... ok, so I walk in the park (and talk) every Saturday a.m. with a friend ... we shopped instead last week and she had mentioned that we should walk this week ... prefacing this with the thought that she has often reneged on the walk and that's been ok with me. Well, I was quite depressed on Thursday and emailed her that I didn't think I'd be up to the park ... so she says, hey that's cool, but it's only Thursday, so email me tomorrow if you change your mind and we can walk and vent ... so I email her early today that, yes, I did change my mind and felt better and she comes back with a curt: "Oops, I've made other plans."

Is that hostile or am I crazy? :)

So another friendship bites the dust?

Dunno.

Am not going to analyze it.

Of course, I just did. :)

NEVER MIND, I JUST ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION!!! :) THIS PERSON PLAYS GAMES AND I JUST DON'T NEED THAT ... not even givin' this "friendship" head room anymore!!!

Yes, I know I'm childish, selfish and becomin' a solitary hag in the dark scary forest (wish it were Halloween, that'd work well), but I'm takin' care o' ME now!

It's all about me, right?

I knew you would agree!

Well, forget the above addendum because my walkin' pard has no idea in heck that I'm even mad at her and sent me a cheery email full of what she's up to today, so what's the use? :) I've nevertheless decided to curtail the Saturday walks, but remain friendly. How's that for maturity? :cb:

I had a TASTE of a cupcake today. Details on my journal in the land far far away. I'm havin' a bad day, but ya knew that by the red size 7 type above no doubt.

Nevertheless, I'm on Day 133 ... I'm not letting tasting a cupcake affect my day count.

Kaylets, please post your witty and charming post again, not that the one you posted wasn't all that 'n more, but the Palace be kind o' empty today.

I'm gonna take a nap. Tomorrow and Monday are work days for me!

Hello all!

Been w/o Internet since Friday pm, in fact, was here trying to post when we went down..

This is what I was trying to post on Friday....

ok , go figure....

Anagram... must be rough .... ((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))from all of us....
This probably sounds strange but I have a good feeling that this will work out well for you and dh.....
Remember we're here for you... even when the palace seems empty we really are thinking of you.....

Frogger... perfect timing telling him on the train.... totally unrelated to work site... Was today his last day?

Empress.... me too... Ipod has been on the shuffle mode ( playing songs at random) and Yanni has been popular w/ the ipod... and had me welling up more than once....

SO guess what cut the gloomy mood, incessant hunger, short temper ???

Pamprin.... guess pre, peri, whatever menopause has its own version of PMS...


Trying to get things done since I got home from work early....
Got laundry drying outside for the first time in a week and am running the dishwasher till there is nothing that needs to be done. Coffeepot, stuff in the fridge, sponges... even some Pfaltzgraff items I am taking to my sister's...

Dh is staying at his job late tonight as traffic here is awful Memorial Day weekend till about 9 pm... Its better that he earns OT $$ rather than sit in traffic .....

ok, going to cut and paste so at least I have this to repost....

Punkin... how';s it going?

Ceara .... Just made your favorite cup of tea... care for some ?

Eydie... Happy Birthday !

WSW> Hey lady!! How are you??



Let me post this and see what happens!

YAY! I can post again!
Holy mackeral.... to be totally w/o the internet was eye opening.....

Even got a long nap, 3 books read ( ok, one was not thick, one had big print the other I really just skimmed....)

It was almost like being w/o power except of course, w/o power wouldve been much more of a whack in the head....

Empress, In a real way I can relate..... I found out this week that a good friend just hasnt been listening.... for about the past 5 yrs.... we were talking about DS and the possibility that he would suggest a pee test to "prove" his clean living ..... and she said " Does he have a problem?"
I was so dumbfounded I could hardly say "YES!"..... I realize that perhaps I just go on and on and she zones out but boy oh boy, if its like that, how canshe stand listening at all??
I know a while back I shared similiar info regarding another friend .... this is someone I really thought was listening....
guess not....

I have to go take some asprin.... and load the dishwasher....

And No, I didnt do lots of housework when the computer was down..
Goodness gracious.....



KETTLE IS ON!

Thanks for the hug, Kaylets. Yes, this time it's been really tough - don't know why as we've been through much before and I handled it better (I thought). DH is still doing his usual stoic thing but I'm hanging by a spider web. Only thing keeping me from losing it is that I don't want to upset him. Tears nearby all the time. Not like me. And, of course, my last few days have been disastrous foodwise. One reason I've not been reporting in.

And, boy, can I relate to the "not listening" people and who turns out to be a friend and who not. Fortunately I have a few "tried & true" and the really great neighbors. But a lot of others have dropped by the wayside (including some family members who are really disappointing me with their lack of interest/support).

But it's Monday - Fresh Start - and, while I don't expect to do anything great this week, perhaps I can at least run after the wagon. Have a patch of yardwork calling my name and taking care of that should help my mood and my caloric output. DH's preop shots seem to be going well and I've managed not to have his abdominal area bruised too badly so far. That's a plus.

Hugged my princesses a lot this weekend but having doubts about just how much DD realizes severity of DHs situation. I know she knows it's serious but think there's still some denial going on there. She's her father's girl that way. And, hey, so far he's always pulled through.

Anyhoo, Happy Memorial Day, All Royals!

Hello all!

Still enjoying having internet access! How funny to appreciate what just a few days ago I thought too expensive!! Hmmmmm , sounds like a speech somewhere....

Better yet, is the wonderful visual Anagram gave me of "Running after the wagon..."
1st of all, there might be some good activity in at least trotting after the wagon.....
But.... Why do I let myself get demoralized w/ this all or nothing mentality???
Wagons ( motivation, staying on program, etc, etc) keep coming into the terminal, are leaving every few minutes... Why do I feel like I need to run after one that's got the horses at a gallop....
Why can't I just be first in line for the next one, be escorted to my seat by the livery boy, nod and smile as the others file by ......
hmmmmmm.......

Thanks Anagram, you gave me lots to think about today.....

And sometimes, doing something physical such as in the garden or even scrubbing the tub gives a good vent to that knot in the stomach that is always there when these rough times are w/ us....

And sometimes, a good cry in the shower seems to help ...... sometimes letting go gives me room to go on......


DH and I are going to the other side of Lancaster soon to visit family. Men going to the shooting range, women to do important things.... ( yes, shopping!)

Take care all....

I'll be thinking of everyone...

KETTLE IS ON!

And Lancaster is a good place for your activity, Kaylets! I'm sure Rockvale Sq and Tanger will both be booming today (and I don't mean fireworks).

Did a solid hour or more in the yard and discovered there's still a few days work left in the one patch plus what I started (or really am continuing from last year in another). I'm glad you reminded me there are more wagons if I can't catch this one - maybe several better suited to my schedule.

So off to the shower. Meeting sister and BIL for lunch today, then a leisurely afternoon. Maybe culling clothes. Need to do that too. All these good sales lately have been tempting but haven't lost enough to get rid of last year's and get more. Oops, Punkin, told me it's about WANTING more - but I still have to make space.

Yo!!!
 

[color=blue][b]Hoopppy Holidays (to ya who has 'em ... I have to go to work, so this is a flybye) ...

VEGAN, IF THOU BE LURKIN' ... I pm'd thee!!! Please come on down to the palace and make thyself at home. The towel boys will bring ya some, well, towels and :queen: K always has the kettle on the hob (what is a hob?)! :wave:

Kaylets 'n Anagramatic, the wagons here be movin' too fast for me to hop on these days, so I just let 'em pass and walk!!!! :lol:

I had to go to the gym parking lot (it's closed) today just to be sure the trainer didn't come. She'd made an appointment with me but apparently forgot it was a holiday and I kept leaving her messages to get in touch with me just to verify she really didn't mean to work (I work holidays but others shouldn't have to). No replies, but she wasn't there. She's the gym owner's daughter but has contracted with me personally instead of going through the gym, so it was conceivable that even if it was closed, she meant to do the session. This irritates me somewhat as I always get back to people, but anyhow ... did a half hour walk and a half hour of the yard penance ... went over the front lawn with weedeater (we don't mow here, we weedeat).

My neighbors are sweet, too, Kaylets. Of course, as to listening, they really can't as they don't speak English ... except for two of the kids, who have to translate all the time! :)

I really have to go.

Hi Kingdom,
It is Ivanna - and Ivanna is very sad. The Royal Dog had to be put down today. Last Thursday she had a massive heart attack - heart stopped, but then restarted on it's own. Today she just couldn't get her breath - So, we said - enuf is enuf!

She has been with us for 15 years - black and white Shih Tzu.

Eating will not help this, right?

Right. (Sorry about your dog!)

Also adding my heartfelt sympathies re the loss of your old friend, Ivanna. I know how painful such a loss can be (my Old Dog is also getting on in years).

Don't know if eating will help. It can't be by accident that they always have ladies and gentlemen in churches who make big meals for bereaved families. Seems it's just an urge to eat and nourish ourselves as we deal with the sadness.

Hi, Aria!!! :wave:

I am through with work FINALLY.

Later, gators (oops, datin' meself with that line).

Hello all!

DTimpma---- Sorry to hear about your shitzu.... We had a similiar experience a couple years ago... Its hard. And I agree w/ the Empress.... in some life experiences, we need to grieve and deal in whatever way we need. And food is lots safer than hard liquor......
My guess is you might do as I did and wound up w/ 2 to fill the big space left behind .....

Actually Anagram, we headed the other direction to York to the Phaltzgraff factory store.... the entire operation is in flux, probably all relocating to Mexico, most employees in the factory out of work. I've always loved their pottery/dishes and now my sister is also collecting. The store seemed to have a pall over it, employees seemed a little sad.... Could be my projection....

Did find a lightweight pair of dress slacks at the Goodwill that I will wear today to work.... have been looking for something appropriate for summer and I finally got lucky yesterday.... and less than $2 too.....

wish I could stay longer .... today is a busy one ... tonight we have bowling so I am afraid I won't be able to come by till tomorrow....

So, if someone would keep an eye on the kettle for me,
KETTLE IS ON!

Question of the day :

"What would you do without the Internet?"
********

Hello all!

Stopping by b/4 out the door again for bowling.....

So far, nearly 100% on program.....

Anyone ever read "Thin is a four letter word"?? Funny, and very very insightful....which I had read it 3 yrs ago when I was too intimiidated to be at the gym .... which if you think about it is like saying "I'm too sick to be in the hospital, too cold to put on a sweater, etc,....."
Hmmmmm
That last little gem was all my own too....

HMMMMMM......

ok.....

who's ready for some tea?

Ceara! Feel better! and that's a royal proclamation! Glad you are w/ your folks...I too had an experience just yesterday w/ a different type of mouse and felt like I was all thumbs.....

ok my friends....

I'm not kidding now,

KETTLE IS ON!

Decaf that is.....

Glad you are past the surgery and on the road to recovery with your parents at hand, Ceara!!! :wave:

Yes, maybe I will post a pic o' the "lawn" ... using the term loosely. But it's only green in the monsoon season... the rest o' the time it's dirt, rocks and brown thatchy dead Bermuda grass, plus some other nameless tumbleweedy things and a giant weed that climbs up the side of my house. I believe it is from another planet.

Kaylets, re qod, without the internet, I would never have met y'all!!!

That'd be sad!

I am falling asleep. Long day ... tire troubles, production.

hELLO ALL!

Dh and I were like two little kids last night who knew we had an early start to the day yet sat up way beyond our bedtime because "we're not tired now, we'll feel this good in the morning too" ....

No we don't!

Empress- How silly of me not to think about the Royals w/o the Internet.....
So true.....

----

My own reality tv is showing an increase above the allowed amount on my scale ...... not suprised as my thought process since I've hit goal and then lifetime has been....."Great, NOW WE CAN EAT!"...

I have not gained because of white sugars/white carbs although my brain is constantly suggesting them.....
Very much like the commercial, if I see an innertube I think donut, a jello form, I think fudge, etc, etc....
Sure, hormones are supercharged ..... but I also have a theory that becuase I've been light on activity lately that my metabolism is in neutral.....

so.... I need to knock at least 2 lbs off b/4 my weighin or I will be back to paying status.... which wouldn't be the end of the world but ......

Part of the process..... unexpected travel conditions not seen on the map.....

Anagram! I'm thinking about you and sending positive energies your way !
