weekend plans

Got the day off to a good start. We walked over 3 miles this morning. 96 degrees at 5 am. UGH! Anyway. Ate healthy brekkie and am now getting ready to start working. No really. I am. Brought fruit for snack today. Now if I can just stay away from the frozen Jr Mints in the freezer. Tossing them right after I finish here.

Going to push the h20 today. Not drinking enough water. For sure. I have been feeling very snacky this past week. I walk into this office and all I want to do is eat. UGH! It's got to be an emotional thing. Who knows. Who cares. Just don't give in to the munchies! Or if I do, munch on something healthy. Something real.

Having the Ggirls over a sleepover tonight. Excited about that. We are going to swim and watch movies. Paint our nails and do our hair. They love to comb my hair. As long as they don't pull too hard I let them. Have got meals planned. Snacks too. They have already called to ask what time they can come. It's great to be so loved!

Have a great weekend. Do something fun! Stay cool. Keep the mood and then food real.

    Boy, I thought I had it bad with being 80 degrees at 7 am! Go YOU for getting out in that heat, Dana!!!

    Oh man, Junior Mints - I used to love those. Never thought about freezing them...I'm afraid that would be a little TOO good, so I won't be trying that, lol!

    Hope you have a wonderful time with the girls - you are such a sweet grandma to do so much with them. :)

    You are going to be surrounded by unconditional love this weekend with your grandbabies this weekend. What a wonderful way to spend the time.

    You are establishing such wonderful, loving memories for them. What a gift! It's more precious than gold.

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...
