Treating myself

This is proof that many otter pops have been eaten.....see the blue tongue....lol.

I had a great Saturday. Slept in till 5:30. That's unheard of. I almost feel gulity knwoing that Roxie is suffering at Chez Menopause. Begged off of the walk. Then decided that was stupid. Got on the bike. Found them. Got in alittle over a 2 mile walk. Then biked to see how long it will take to ge to my new job. Yep. I have an elder care job to start Monday. Not full time but it will keep the wolves at bay for the time being. I 'gridded up my loins' ( my dad's expression ) and finally wrote the letter to my boss. Haven't sent it. Waiting on some feedback. I want to be sure about it before I do that. I have put so much energy into this stupid letter. I want to move forward. I'm sick of talking about it. I am sure everyone is sick of me talking about it.


I met up with a friend and we took her kids and went to the library. I heart the library. They had a charity boutique so i browsed. I never browse. I am always in a hurry. Always in a hurry and never really very much forward. I have been thinking about lately. My mind races, but I don't feel like I am going anywhere. It's exhausting and frustrating. I am going to put some intention toward that.


We had lunch at a great little place. Had pita bread and yogurt. Then splurged on a chicken and asparagus pita sandwich. Holy cow was it good. I had the Ggirls over again last night. Mom and Dad were at childbirth class. Not much longer now. They had to tell the girls that, no the baby wasn't coming yet. We went swimming and watched movies. They are bottomless pits. This time I held firm. No overeating for anyone. I didn't make the best choices for dinner however A small piece of lasagna and left over Greek salad. Yesterday wasn't my best eating day. I was 'treated" with food all day. On to better choices today. Plan on treating myself...lol. That means cooking for myself.


Heading out for a podcast and a bike ride. Keep the mood and the food real............

    Glad you found a job - that didn't take long! Hope it will be the beginning of more wonderful things for you.

    Interesting that you don't browse normally. I like your intention of trying to slow things down a bit - will be interesting to see how that works for you.

    Oh - the chicken and asparagus pita sounds fantastic!

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...
