our new patio furniture arrives tomorrow, so we have a lot of cleaning up to do. i feel like my house has been under construction always. we are waiting for permits for our garage - it's falling down and missing the door!!! meanwhile, we have "stuff" all over the place. i want an HGTV house! the problem is my dear husband doesn't care about "trappings." i have to beg him to do anything beyond basic maintenance --and even that's a stretch. i wish we were on the same hous...cooking for everyone else

i know it sounds counter productive, but i love to cook and it isn't always stuff that i should be eating. because ralph works nights we don't eat together most nights. i wish we could, but it is what it is. meanwhile, i love to cook in bulk - maybe 3 or 4 different meals in one day. i make a big mess, clean it up and then don't have to cook for several days. strategically, it works for me. when i am in a great frame of mind (which i am now), the goodies don't tempt me. i do make some of ...

i do find truths
about myself
that sometimes delight
and other ti...

well i have been missing in action for a few weeks, but not straying from my goals and dedication to my weight loss regimen. this is a first for me. all i think about is being on the program for a reason, not just for a moment. i have stuck to the south beach diet faithfully. i have had a couple of minor moments of weakness, but none that i was unaware of and i counted every morsel. being aware and counting the calories is a big step for me. stopping is another. by not allowing a moment of...
