I managed to lose 10 pounds in the months before the wedding. I did it the old fashioned way, by eating less and exercising more. I figured lunch was over-rated as a meal option.
Truthfully, I like all three meals. But after falling off the wagon post-wedding, I am trying to get back on track. So today I took a Lean Cuisine to work for lunch.
It’s still in the freezer there. But my DQ cheeseburger sure tasted good!
I see that Brett Favre is continuing his farewell tour in the NFL. My guess is that he plans to play one season for every team before he REALLY retires. Of course, he’ll be in his 70s by the time he’s done, but he’s tough enough to take it!
And to think I once admired him.
I am now a mother-in-law.
More details to follow in a few days when I’ve caught my breath!
40 years ago tonight, the whole family (as near as I can recall, anyway), gathered in my parents’ bedroom to watch the moon landing on their little 13″ black and white TV. To this day, I don’t know why we didn’t watch it on the downstairs television (also B&W, but with a larger screen), but the memory is probably a little clearer because we never watched TV in my parents’ room.
15 days till HS’s wedding–where have the last 13 months gone?

Your coffee will be ready a whole lot sooner if you plug in the pot when you turn it on.
We got some mail from HS’s college today. Not the one where he just finished his master’s, but the one where he received his bachelor’s degree over two years ago.
It’s a check for $100. Marked simply “Refund.”
I don’t know if I’m more curious about what it is that they’re refunding or why it took them so long to figure out that they owed him the money.
In either case, we’re keeping it.
Two part-time jobs
A week of camping
Rearranging all three bedrooms as BD moves into HS’s old digs
Chiropractor visits as I seek relief for my neck and shoulder pain
Doing volunteer work for a couple of organizations
Trying to keep physical and spiritual conditioning (i.e., exercise & Bible study)
Spending too much time on Facebook.
Saw this at Busy Mom’s and had to give it a try. Here, in no particular order, are 10 things I’ve never done that many people have.
Feel free to come up with your own list!
BD has not been much of a hugger since she was a little girl. Most of the hugs I get from her are a) requested and b) one-armed.
She is getting ready to go on a long field trip for school and wanted to download some songs for her iPod last night so she could listen to them on the bus. She had a whopping $4.
Now, I don’t think that finishing middle school is a Really Big Deal that calls for parties, cards and extravagant gifts. Besides, the school has already bit into what we might have budgeted for that with numerous expensive field trips at the end of the year. Not to mention the fee for dissecting a frog. But I dissect, I mean digress.
I had picked up an iTunes card as a little token of our relief pride in the fact that she’s passed another educational milestone. I surprised her with it last night.
And got a genuine, heartfelt, unrequested bear hug.
I’m still smiling.
I'm a wife and mom who loves computers and writing. Blogging just naturally followed.
For those unfamiliar with Kentucky phrases, a "holler" is a small valley between mountains.
I'm not really yelling at you.
