RAINY DAY BLUES


The rain just does not want to stop & it is really putting a "damper" on my plans for Saturday. Well, I don't really have any big plans but I want to go to Target and I don't feel like going out in the rain. Such a dilema, I know!!

I am still on my diet. Just one more week and I am on maintenace which will be wonderful. I can't wait for a Diet Pepsi! I have lost 13 pounds and my clothes are fitting me again. I am even wearing a pair of jeans that I have not worn in 8 months. I couldn't get them past my thighs and now they fit!

Super Bowl Sunday is tomorrow. Not a big deal to me. I probably won't even watch it. I don't understand what all the hype is. I guess it's just a good excuse to get together and eat lots of yummy food & maybe watch the game if you are a football fan.

The Bachelor is starting to annoy me and so is the Biggest Loser. Why is it that the people I want to go are always still there week after week?

I have been going to my Moms every week and it is so hard. She can't remember anything and repeats the same thing over and over again. She also can't hear so you sit there repeating yourself and having her ask you the same question over and over again. Please don't let me live that long. My poor kids, I don't want them to have to go through that.

Those pathetic Kings. It is agony watching them lose every game. I guess I should be used to it, but they looked so promising at the beginning of the season. There is some hope and I know they will get better and I have to say they do make the game exciting.

I am really missing my grandsons. I need to go see them soon. I just need to pick a few days and do it. They always give me the boost I need to perk me up and make me realize that life really is good. I love you Jack, Lincoln and Coleman & I wish I could play with you and read to you and hug you right now!

I had some drama at work this week. My supervisor told me she was going to take my favorite fair away from me and give it to a new person. I freaked out and had a meltdown (not that I let anyone see). But it all turned out good. One of my co-workers came to my defense at a meeting yesterday with a very simple solution. "Don't mess with the high maintenace fairs". So I get to keep my favorite fair and all is well.

My new favorite treat (and the only treat I can have on this diet) is a baked apple. I just slice a green apple into small chunks, sprinkle artificial sweetner and cinnamon on top. Pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes and viola I have a yummy dessert. Tastes just like apple pie without the crust. (Too bad the crust is my favorite part of a pie)

I am going to make these treats for my friends and co-workers for Valentine's Day. Sure wish my kids lived close by so I could make them some treats too
