Meet the Fockers

Ok first things 1st. The Meet the Parents dinner went so well last night. My future DIL's parent's were very nice and we chatted and laughed and just had a great time. They just adore my son. It makes me so happy I cried on the home. I am a boob. Her mother sent me a message on FB telling me I am a lucky mom. I really, really am. I think she's a pretty lucky mom herself. Those 2 kids are so in love and it's adorable. The bride has lots of cute ideas. Her and my daughter were getting so excited about the wedding planning. I can tell my daughter really likes the bride. My daughter has a half sister that lives here in the valley, but she doesn't really have alot in common with her. This could be the sister she always wanted.

I was out the door by 5 am got in another 5 miles this morning. The last 1/2 mile I was begging them to just roll me home. I made it, but my butt and hips were killing. They feel much better now. I love my walking buddies and the early morning visits. The Happy Couple served eggplant last night and salad. There was also garlic bread and a small root beer float. I ate everything, in moderation. This morning we were talking about a friend of ours that is starving herself to the point that she almost passed out yesterday. CRAZY. I told myself when I started this thing 80 lbs ago that I wasn't going to do anything I didn't think I could do for a lifetime. So far, so good.

I am thinking I might do some food shopping. Then we are going to see Toy Story. Those movies are so cute. I am going to try it in 3D. Hope it doesn't make me want to hurl. I keep thinking it's going to make me sick to my stomach. Probably will go out to my daughter's for Father's Day tomorrow after church. Some swimming later this afternoon.

As you can tell the resentment has eased alot. Not all the way, of course, but now I am not thinking and talking about it 24/7. Feeling the freedom of that is awesome! I am going to get a week off from all bosses next week. Who knew! I could really use the break. Absence makes the hear grow fonder. Or something like that.

Keep the mood and the food real...........P.S. will try to get a picture of the dress today. don't give up on me!

    I am so glad that the meeting went well. I'm so glad that the families appear to mesh well. That is awesome and a great blessing.

    Doing this for a lifetime is the only way to fly! I had pizza yesterday and I had it in moderation. Yep, I can live like this :-)

    You do sound good and I'm very glad. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my dear friend.

    Love the new blog look! Much easier to read too. (The orange background was a bit difficult for me.) That new blogger design feature is easy, isn't it.

    Tears of happiness about your son and his fiancee...so much better than the tears of sadness and resentment you have shed lately about the car thing. :)

    Hope you enjoy the 3-D movie. I can't see 3-D because of my vision correction surgery, so I guess I'll never know what it's like. I too do hope you don't HURL! lol

    LOVE THIS TITLE! Your sense of humor cracks me up! Happy to hear the meeting went so well - it's sweet to see young adults on the brink of their lives together. And I'm glad you enjoyed the meal, in moderation. :)

    Careful with your walking if your hips are hurting - you may want to scale back on the mileage for a bit until they adjust...no need to be really sore like that if you can help it.

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    So glad you love the new in-laws that's always a big plus and eases the mind to know you'll have a good future with them and their daughter. Way to go on the 5 miles you are doing terrific. Glad the resentment is easing too.

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...
