| May 23, 2002 - (Thursday) I had a HUGE update all typed in yesterday, but geocities wouldn't let me save and oh well, lots of wasted time and typing. I am going away for the weekend in a few minutes, going to the beach and I will be back on Tuesday. My birthday is Sunday and I hope it's good weather!! Not sure if I'm getting a cake this year, I can really do without it. I don't need to see a big birthday cake there with my name on it (if ya know what I mean). Birthday cake has a way of calling me in the middle of the night. I used to wake up and have b-day cake for breakfast. Any meal could be substituted for cake. Ugh. I really don't need the stress!!!! All is fine here. Weight is holding at 86 pounds, so not a happy camper there, but hey, things could be worse, I could be UP 86 pounds!! lol Yesterday, I made some observations about being treated "nicer" by people (especially on the plane). Men went out of their way to help me put my luggage up in the overhead and sought me out when the plane landed to take my luggage down again for me. On the way home, the man wanted to wheel it all the way out of the plane. I was like, thanks, but I really can handle it from here...lol.... Believe me, 86 pounds ago, I was schlepping my luggage all by myself and struggling to lift it into the overhead all by my lonely. Ugh, wonder what that says about human nature? It's such a sad statement to say that before, when I was definitely BIGGER THAN LIFE ITSELF, I was invisible, but get smaller and a little more attractive and people get nicer. Ugh, so sad :( I also wanted to note all the winners of my favorite "reality" TV shows that I adore. Survivor..wow, could anyone have predicted Vecepia and Neleh sitting in seat number 1 & 2?? I wouldn't have. Goes to show ya, ya never know with that game. This season was definitely better than last, I really enjoyed watching it, WTG Vecepia!! Also, The Amazing Race. If you haven't watched that program, you must next time. It's so intense. WTG Alex & Matt, well deserved win and very close to the other teams. Also, last but not least, RR/RW Challenge. You cannot imagine how happy I was when Real World won. WOO HOO!!! That's all I have to say!!! I know, I know, I have got to find a life...but I do enjoy reality TV. Soon Big Brother 3 will be starting. It's got to be the worst show on TV, but I am a devotee. Ugh, save me!! lol I had other things typed yesterday, but my mind is a blank right now. Oh one thing was the beautiful graphics on the page is again from Pats Web Graphics. She's celebrating her 5th Anniversary and this is one of her new designs. Go check out her stuff, she's amazing. I will sign off now and hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend, I will write again when I return, till next time... :) May 29, 2002 - (Wednesday) I'm back from my mini-vacation and it was a pretty good weekend. Weather could have been better, but it didn't rain. It was pretty cool (in the 70's) all weekend. I think the weather at home was in the 80's -- oh well, what are ya gonna do. We got some work done at the beach, put the screens in, etc. so now everything is done. We just have to plant some flowers when we go back in a week or so. We didn't do that because we aren't going down for a few weeks and with no one watering them, they'd be dead....so we'll wait a few to plant some pretty flowers. I didn't eat very well over the weekend, snacked a bit too much and didn't drink my water, I was just terrible. I ate candy (Charleston Chews (and I didn't even know I liked them)). Ugh, glad the weekend was over!! For my birthday, on 5/26, we went out to dinner and I had Shrimp Scampi. It was really tasty and I was able to eat 3 shrimp and I had some of the dinner roll. That is a big accomplishment for me. WTG on on eating out for me!! LOL I'm down 87 pounds now, so this month is just dismal for the weight loss. I have got to start the exercise and am joining Curves for Women. It's opening on June 3rd, down the block from my house and I cannot wait!!! Maybe that will kick-start the weight loss, cause sitting on my butt eating very little is not making the scale move. I need to show up somewhere and do something and I'm just not doing it on my own. I'll keep you posted on how I do. Figures, I'm going to be travelling for work next week, so I'll only get a few days in, but I hope I really love it. Hmmmm, nothing else is new...I'm feeling fine, the weight loss could definitely be better, but I'm back on track and am off to the treadmill after I finish typing this update. Drop me a line if you have any questions or just want to say hello....have a great week, will update again when I've got something to say...till next time :)... |
