I admit it, I've been caught up in Facebook . . . ignoring my blog. That's ok, not much to say lately.
Married 13 years today. Or as my father would say, 13 LONG MISERABLE YEARS. Some of them were long and miserable, but this year I am able to say that we're in a pretty good place. The cynic in me is nervous saying that, because when you say things like that, then something bad always happens.
I'm back at Weight Watchers again. For the last time. I've lost 12 pounds since January 1st, some of it due to giving up soda as a New Year's resolution, some of it WW, so 12 pounds down, 67 to go.
I've been thinking about childhood dreams. What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing it? I grew up riding and showing horses and wanted to do that for a living, but practical matters often get in the way. What I know about the time I spent on a horse though was that I was a calmer, happier, thinner person. So I've decided that even if you can't make your dream into a mortgage payment, you need to keep that dream alive in some way that helps sustain who you are as a person. As a motivation to stick with Weight Watchers, I have promised myself that 27 pounds from now I will go back to riding. It may be in the form of a lesson once a week, but I want to have that feeling back.

Woo Hoo! I can't wait to see you riding. :) Your daughter is gonna want to be right there with you!!
As a kid, I wanted to be a gymnast and an astronaut...and I honestly wanted to do a backflip on the moon. (still do, kinda)
What else? I wanted to be a flying trapeze acrobat in the circus, a helicopter EMT, a firefighter, and I also wanted to be just like my grandma. Still do.
It's so good to see your post on here! I miss you, girl.
Hmmm. I also wanted to be an astronaut, then I realized how much math that took, and I DO get a little tiny bit motion sick . . .
What else? A farmer, a veterinarian (too soft hearted to put anything to sleep), a flight attendant, a college professor. I miss you too. Love ya, Bec.
Hey Kiddo, just surfed in from world wide web to say "yo".
Yo.
Sorry I ghosted on you the other day but I would like to throw the gauntlet of interaction back in your direction.
Movie sometime?
I ain't seen "Bruno" yet. What say you?
Peace, out...
