Lilacs
Wednesday, April 25th 2007
Today, I cut some lilacs and bridal veil from my yard. I put them in a can (sort of looks like a milk can) and brought them in for our secretary. They looked so nice, I think I'll cut some more down for me to enjoy at home. Nothing smells as fresh and spring like as lilacs.I grew up in San Diego. It doesn't get cold enough to grow lilacs (well up in the mountains it does). So my first experience with lilacs was when I moved to Denver. One Spring morning, when I was about 27, I had my...
It's Tuesday, but I'm going to think it's Monday.

I am treating today like a Monday. So far, so good. I tried to find some carrots to snack on at work. The salad bar had everything but carrots. So I grabbed the watermelon. Lunch will be a chicken breast and salad. Dinner will be something, maybe corn chowder and salad. . . or leftovers.I cut some fresh lilacs this morning. I added some bridal veil and WOW. . . they look fabulous and smell WONDERFUL. I brought them in for a friend. I will cut some more for the weekend for myself....
Monday!
Monday, April 16th 2007
Like every Monday of every week, it seems to be the day to get back on track. Why Monday? Why not Saturday? There are only 52 Mondays in the year, so no wonder I'm not more successful with exercise and dieting. If I only start over once a week, that means that the other 313 days of the year I'm probably not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. 14% of the year, I behave. But to be honest, I know that there are other days of the week that I do behave. . . so this boils down to the 80/20 rule...Feeling the Pain

What a weekend. We moved my son's furniture down to the basement and the office in the basement up to his room. Two flights of stairs. Up and Down. Heavy furniture. I ache all over. My arms, legs, and back.Today, I'm very tired.
And, to make matters worse. I ate like there was no tomorrow over the weekend. Everyone wanted to meet me somewhere for some kind of meal and visit with me. On Friday, I had a corporate meeting where there was a lot of food in the morning. Then my hu...
Sitting
Thursday, March 15th 2007
I need to do something so that I stop feeling tired. I did not feel tired when I was in China. It is probably because I was not sitting around. My job activity level is very seditary. I sit in front of a computer, I talk on the phone (while sitting), I go to meetings (I have to walk to the meeting) and then I sit some more. Sit, sit , sit. I need to move some more so that I do not feel so tired.I need to just walk a few minutes every hour or so. The trouble is, I get caught up in my...
