Looking Back
Monday, September 3rd 2007
It's one of those years when our anniversary falls on Labor Day making for an odd mix of emotions.It's not a biggie this year, #36, and we're not doing anything special after splurging on a giclée on canvas of Robert Bateman's "Defensive Stand" last year.
Mostly I'll be thinking of my grandparents today and the rest of their generation of Donovans and Hapgoods, remembering my grandmother telling me how she would send my grandfather off in the morning not knowing if he'd b...
Ups and Downs
Sunday, September 2nd 2007
Came down this morning to discover it was fifty-freakin'-nine degrees in the house. We left the window on the porch open and it got down into the forties last night.A gorgeous day for the park and very few people on the trails, a good beginning to a week in which I plan to up my exercise and get back into a weight-loss mode.
The weather yesterday was also beautiful and we spent another six hours at the fair, in part, because of it. We came home to listen to the no-hitter pitched b...
Off Again Jiggity-Jig
Saturday, September 1st 2007
Off to the fair again jiggity-jig, but today the weather is absolutely perfect. The second Saturday of the fair includes my favorite event, the six and eight horse draft horse hitch competition. Over 150 gorgeous Belgians, Percherons, Clydesdales and Shires. Sometimes there's even a team of gray Percherons. I love to stand outside when they all go by at full trot.It will be a great way to celebrate the end of a perfectly lousy week diet-wise. Even after seeing this pattern before I ge...
Try, Try Again
Friday, August 31st 2007
I think it was two years ago when I tried the Oasis yoga-Pilates class before and only went a couple of times because I had so much pain and stiffness in the mornings. I just signed up for it again starting September 12.I'm back down to 144 this morning but obviously I'm not going to reach my CK goal by Labor Day. It's crunch time; I've got three weeks before the next freakin' full moon can throw me out of whack.
I feel like the tides are beginning to turn against me. I think I rea...
Enough
Thursday, August 30th 2007
I still haven't moved through this lethargic dead-in-the-water condition and it's getting old. I look back and see that I'm still within the pattern of the previous two months but still...The heat and humidity aren't helping and now the Red Sox are down in their series with the Yankees and will be hoping to avoid a sweep this afternoon. I don't know if I'm up to listening to it this afternoon. How does a team come back from drubbing like the one the Yankees got from the Tigers on Monday...
