Sleep over!

Girls sleep over!! They wore me out. We had loads of fun. Ate healthy. Played Beauty Shop. Made cards with my old Stampin Up stuff. I bought that stuff saying that I would start scrap booking. Never happened. The kids seem to like them though. Watched Barbie movies and popped popcorn. Went to McD's for brekkie. They loved the yogurt. And the playground. That yogurt really is pretty good. Something I can feel good about eating. Then we all watched Zboy while their mom went to the dentist. It was a good morning. No walking however. Which led to lazy for most of the rest of the day. I am going to go to some classes at the Family History Center down the street. I am going to learn how to do genealogy. My goal is to be able to get certified and do it for money. If nothing else I will find out alot more about where I come from. Which is always so interesting. The best part is all the training is FREE!!! That's right my friends. It just will take commitment and practice. I am ready for this!

I am hesitant to put this out this out there cause I am getting where I say I am going to do something, then I don't. Take weight loss for instance. Anyway. I am pledging to do at least one thing to get me going. I don't have to know everything right now. I need to remember to start slow. Don't over whelm myself. Don't beat myself up. ASK FOR HELP! DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. This is the #1 goal snatcher. This feels right. I am excited.

So I am still looking for another job. Feeling pretty calm despite the fact that I have no money coming in. I have decided to do what and the best I can do. Something will happen. It always does. Keep me in your prayers though. Positive energy is never a bad thing.

Keep the mood and the food real...........

    There is nothing like a public commitment to make you accountable! Plus the genealogy class sounds like it will be really interesting - and how cool if you could make money from it.

    You are such a fun grandma! Love that you are giving those kids such wonderful memories. :)

    You *don't* have to do everything right now! Baby steps Dana. Don't forget it.

    Barbie movies and popcorn and stamping sound like so much fun!

    I can relate to feeling frustrated with myself for not doing what I say I'm going to do - like lose weight! But we just keep at it little my little. Imagine if we didn't! Nah - don't wanna go there!

    The pic of the girls sleeping is just adorable.
    Hang in - just keep doing the next right thing.

    The girls are so adorable! What a nice grandma you are!

    You asked what 4HB means...it stands for 4 Hour Body. It is a twist on a low-carb diet. If you look at my January 31 post, I describe it a bit. I really like it.

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...
