windy weekend

Well here it is Monday morning. Where the heck did my weekend go? I had a great weekend. Went for a long bike ride into the wind. BOTH WAYS. Well ok, that might be an exaggeration. However, my legs felt like spaghetti noodles by the time I got home. I would have quit had I not had to keep biking to get home.....lol. I saw The Bounty Hunter ( thanks to my friend ) and then went out to my daughter's house to see everyone. YIKES! She was in her 1st no smoking week last week. In other words...DUCK! She can be wicked if she wants to be. Honestly, who can't be wicked, right? She knows it and told me to go home. I said gladly. It is nice we have that kind of relationship. I had a nice time with everyone though. We went to the park. Everybody. Usually it's just me and the kids. My daughter and I walked around the park and talked. It was nice. I do love that kid.

I looked all over for a couple of kites to take out there. When did they stop making kites? I looked at 3 places...nothing. Oh well. We did bubbles instead. My poor SIL had a chipmunk cheek cause by an infected tooth. OUCH! Sunday was church and then I was suppose to go to see wild flowers with a friend, but it got canceled. Next week maybe week.

Food was alittle crazy yesterday. Over did with the WW chili, but it is what it is. Pushing the H20 and eating right today. I didn't do as much as I wanted to do yesterday. Just a short bike ride. Today I walked 40 mins here at work and rode the bike to work. Double workout. As I look out the window I can see the wind is picking back up again. YIKES! Another chance to burn some calories on the way home. Noddle legs here I come.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Keep the mood and the food real!

    Noodle legs indeed!
    Days like that build character AND muscles, right?
    At least that's what they tell us.

    Oh man, I remember the quitting smoking days. Tough sledding, for sure. I'm so glad that I don't have to go through that again. Thinking good thoughts for your girl.

    Way to go on all the bike riding Dana. You are doing so terrific with your exercise and it just seems like it's all in a fun way in spite of the noodle legs lol. Glad everything is going well with your daughter even the grouchies from the no smoking. I'm sure as time goes on it will get easier for her.

    that really is great that your daughter can be honest and tell you straight up "hey, i'm moody today"...that way, she doesn't even give herself the chance to take it out on you! because as we know, unfortunately, it is so tempting to take things out on others sometimes.

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...
