Not Much

Weight Loss.....

Well, I am sitting here in Panera drinking my skinny vanilla latte.  


I feel skinnier. 


Lost 11 lbs. and went down 2 pant sizes.  


Not at my pre-child bearing weight--but getting there.


5 lbs to go.


GOAL:  135 lbs. 


I've been trying to lose these last few pounds for over 2 weeks.  


I am at a stand still.  


I weigh in Thursday so hopefully I will get some good news.

I am meeting my friend, Amy, today who moved away about 10 years ago and she had the stomach bypass surgery.  We are meeting at a salad place for lunch.  We will be complimenting each other all afternoon on how good each other looks--because that what girlfriends do...

School........


I am persevering through anthropology.  I have been reading for an hour this morning and need a break.  


Media courses are hard.  

No contact with the outer world.


No grades until the very end.


No idea if I am doing well on my papers or tests.


No one to hold me accountable.


Only me


my book


my learning DVD's


my deadlines.


I hope I pass.

Joey is in love....

Her name is Laura and she is darling.

Joey texted her and told her his feelings 2 days ago. 

Her texted response back, "Awwwww".


Not a good sign.


Typical Joey.  Wears his heart on his sleeve.



"I love this feeling Mom.  It feels so good to like a girl".


(Thank God  he likes girls....John and I relieved)

He was So excited to see her yesterday at school.

"So", Johnny asked, "How did it go with Laura today?  Did she act like she liked you?"


"Shut up Johnny!"


We got our answer....


After a few minutes he told me she didn't talk to him all day.


I told him she probably felt awkward and that I was proud of him for telling her his feelings.  He now needed to wait for her to come around.  I carefully explained to him girls don't like desperate boys and the ball was in her court now.


Johnny replied, "Why did you tell her you liked her at all?  What purpose did that serve?  You are too young to go out anyway!  Now it's all embarrassing.  When girls know you like them Joey, they take advantage of you and ask you to do stuff for them all day.  They play mind games with you!"


Joey said, "Shut up Johnny!"


I asked Johnny where in the heck he got his information?  


Oh well.....Joey will get hurt many times on his quest to find love.  


It's the kind of boy he is.....

Rain....




It has been so gloomy here for weeks.


It's affecting my mood.


I'm in a slump.


Hopefully the sun will come out soon.

P.S..

Next garbage day...tomorrow...got alot of hunting, gathering and hiding to do tonight before John gets home....


To be continued.....
