IRANIRANIRAN

I ran!! ( no, not the crazy country ) I ran till my pants started falling off...lol. But it is true. I was able to run about a 1/4 mile at a time. So 2 great NSVs. Plus I walked/ran almost 4 miles this morning. Plus I canceled my cable ( cost cutting ) but I still have basic!! SSSHH.....don't tell the cable company..lol. Saves me cost of the converter box...that I was going to have to wait to buy.

So I am going to enjoy my good, non-bratty, no headache mood today. Going to go to the farmer's market early and get a few things. Then go to the $5 movie before noon movie. Julie and Julia I think. Then a nap (fingers crossed). Then the B-day dinner for my daughter, then babysitting.

Funny thing. While I was feeling bratty yesterday I had decided last night that I was going to splurge on something fatty and fast foody. I was telling myself, go ahead, you've had a bad day...blah blah blah. I couldn't do it! My big rebellion was a foot long at Subway. So go me. I just couldn't do it. It just wasn't going to make me less bratty or irritable. It would have just made me mad at me. I HATE BEING MAD AT ME.

So there you go....have a great weekend, I intend on have having one. Keep the mood and food real............. TRUST YOURSELF

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...
