We get our day in court!

My daughter called yesterday and annouced that she and her hubby have a court date for the girls adoptions. July 13th!! We are over the moon excited and are so thankful these sweet little girls are going to part of our family forever!

Still going strong...eating right, walking, ect. However I have got this dang cough. The kind of cough that makes you pee your pants...ladies, you know what I mean. I wish I could make it go away. I was so close to just skipping my walk this morning....my one buddy is on her way to Austria and my other buddy has an infected toe so she bailed on me. I told myself just take it slow, you only have to do to 1.5 mile today...you don't feel good...blah, blah, blah. I got started and did the 3 miles in less then 45 mins. So good for me! Felt really good and sweaty.

Just want to thank everyone that left comments from yesterday. I thrive on your encouragement, inspiration, and heartfelt concern. I will say it again....You've got my heart. What a great bunch of blogger friends! No doubt the meth was hard to kick, but I'm telling you this food thing is a whole different ballgame. You have to eat, it isn't illegal and it's everywhere! Sometimes I think they should make overeating a felony! LOL

Keep the mood and the food real......and thanks everyone again!

    So happy to hear about the girls' adoption. We had the same kind of happy day 13 years ago. It is such a blessing. Congratulations!

    I love that you convinced yourself to go walking and then doubled the length...I swear, just starting is most of the battle! Good job!

    I am so glad that you were able to continue walking without your walking partners! What a feat to accomplish 3 miles in 45 minutes is awesome!

    Wow - on the 3 miles in 45 minutes. You were kicking butt. I like your idea about setting the bar lower (1.5 miles) and then exceeding it.

    And -- congrats on the adoption date. That's wonderful!

    I'm so excited for you, and for the little girls to be part of your wonderful family. They are so lucky...I feel so sad for so many kids who don't have a loving family like yours.

    About the view in my photo of my flower...that flower is on the table in my living room. Yes, that's my view and I do live on the water. I'm very lucky.

    P.S. I am glad you changed your photo, this one is so much better and cuter.

    Congratulations on the adoptions!

    The normal day-to-day walks are something to feel good about but the ones where you just don't feel like it or are a challenge are the ones that really show us what we're made of and feel so damn good! Way to walk on!

    re: That guy IS funny eh? hehe
    and I really liked your "lighten up" interpretation ... knowledge ... great one!

    YEAH! no word verification!!! :)

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
