the way it is

May 5, 2010 – 10:07 am

Hi there blog, remember me? There’s so much going on and I don’t seem to have a lot of extra energy to blog about it. Still, I know a few people check in here and deserve an update. First, Mom is doing a little better. On the Saturday after I last posted, we received a [...]

hello…. is it me you’re looking for?

“We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.” – Francois de La Rochefoucauld I’m sorry, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve really written anything. Life has felt really busy around here – though in many ways it hasn’t been that much more [...]

new beginnings

January 4, 2010 – 8:35 pm

It’s the start of a new year and as others have noted, a time when we’re filled with enthusiasm to make those changes we’ve been promising to make. The problem is, that kind of enthusiasm generally doesn’t last through the doldrums of winter. I’ve been posting New Year’s quotes over on FaceBook and I notice [...]

fess up!

October 7, 2009 – 10:59 pm

Okay, so who took the last week and hid it? C’mon, fess up! There’s no use hiding because I will find you! I am so not taking responsibility for not updating. I did post several recipes and that ought to count for something. I’m caught up with about half my email at least if I [...]

new day

September 25, 2009 – 11:08 am

This has been an interesting week as far as the lap-band and food plan are concerned. Since I had my little epiphany, getting things back on track has been relatively easy. I also had a small fill on Tuesday. It seems that though I had not lost much weight, I was already pretty loose again. [...]

caturday

September 19, 2009 – 4:30 pm

This it Tommy. He’s one of our neighbor’s cats and is often found on my back deck looking for attention and handouts. He and Blackie seem to hang out a lot of the time. He’s a nice kitty, very vocal, and he has the loudest purr of any cat I have ever heard. This morning, [...]

stopping shopping

September 18, 2009 – 11:52 am

Interesting that when I know I’m going to write about it for the world to see, I am better at this one day at a time thing. Then again, perhaps it was because it was Thursday. The shopping issue. Lately, my very worst days of self control are when I go shopping after seeing Mom. [...]

how I spent my summer vacation

September 17, 2009 – 3:03 pm

We finally had enough of a break in the rain that I could take some new photos. Or snapshots, perhaps. This is the upside down red cherry tomato plant. It is still covered in tomatoes, they took longer to develop and to ripen than the rightside up plants. That was okay with me, as it [...]

still one day at a timing

September 8, 2009 – 11:14 am

“First, say to yourself what you would be. Then do what you have to do.” ~Epictectus I’m still practicing the one day at a time philosophy. Why does that seem so much easier the first few days? The human mind is a fearsome place. It is capable of lying to itself and you’d think that [...]

forever and managing things

September 3, 2009 – 9:52 am

I seem to be learning from really paying attention to what I’m eating and when. Not all of what I’m learning is new – but sometimes it takes me many repetitions before I learn whatever I’m supposed to learn. Last night, I reinforced the lesson that microwave pizza is not my best choice. It is [...]
