where are neighborhoods like that anymore? with bushes big enough to hide in? and kids that go around the block together all afternoon? and normal sized houses? and the old winkfields next door? ok, i don't need the winkfields. but i'd sure love to give my kids the rest.
and again, when you are at a good weight and having regular cycles, you can absolutely add in a lot more whole wheat and whole grain foods, as well as all fruits and vegetables and other "good carbs" like beans. if your cycles get a little kooky or you gain weight, that's when you know you need to reduce again.
dinner: i kind of snack or have a lunch type meal again. dinner is tricky because i still need to prepare dinner for my family. so i do. but i'm not super hungry at night so i just eat whatever. broccoli, a little of what they're having, or snacky stuff, or chicken wings, or crispy thin crust pizza. but! i always end the day with a low carb ice cream bar.
just a phone call one night. she had an aneurysm. and although this was a surprise of the worst kind, it was the most spiritual time of my life. much good and understanding has come through that loss.
cate: did you love disney games on the computer when you were five?
and as i've been laying in my misery, i've been thinking a lot about that penny, and just how lonely i'd be if she wasn't there with me.
when cate is too scared to go downstairs, penny will go with her and everything is all right. she lets cate dress her up for weddings or try to ride her or pull her by the tail almost daily. and even knowing the torture she will soon endure, she gets so excited when cate gets home from school.
project 31 is rolling along. i have donations for every single item i need for the 31 newborn kits and lots of fabric donations and i will sew until there are 31 baby quilts too! thank you SO much, i was overwhelmed by the awesome response. packages are starting to arrive! i will be sure to post some pictures when i get it all together and ready to take to the humanitarian center. my heart is happy. veg
like this one, for instance. my older brother uploaded it while reminiscing about the old buggie he rebuilt in the 80s.
but the commonality between each experience was- it was out of my hands. i occasionally fell in love with someone who couldn't be had. i occasionally had to run from someone who wouldn't let me go.
i bet that block is not nearly as big as i remember it being, but i remember it being quite a trip.
and then, suddenly and to my surprise, i met and married the man i had no idea i was dreaming of. but he was perfect for me. and better than anything i had imagined or sought after before.
what an adventure it is.
she didn't want to print off her name- signing was a must.
what do you look for in a best friend?
i thought i'd live there forever. one day when i was 12, my dad quit his job and we moved to lake tahoe. it rocked my stable world.
all kits are shipped. phew.
i look for girls with purses that compliment mine.
i have been laying in bed sick since monday. it seems to be getting worse by the day, not better. i am so irritated and antsy. i miss my family and i want to clean my house.
one thing i enjoy about facebook is the old pictures that friends and fam upload to walk down memory lane together with you. is this MOLLO
i think they are so cute. i love her litte handwriting. and she is beyond excited to pass them out. some other projects she and i looked at but didn't get around to (of course) from martha (of course):
and i cheat, like, alot. well, usually i ease up on weekends. but i feel so crappy and bloated again that i can't wait to start eating right on monday. but i have kind of had to tell myself, this is just the new lifestyle. and if i want to indulge every now and again i'm going to. cause i'd rather die than not be able to have some chips and guac or a slice of cake every now and again. so if i eat like this 90% of the time then i've noticed that my body or the scale doesn't mind if i wander in my choices a bit the other 10%. exercising everyday helps with this, too. i feel like it's a great trade off- feeling great and a regular period for a little self control.
grant and i listened and danced to his music on valentine's day.
i do have one faithful companion who is braving the germs: penny the pug russell.
hard to find? only a little. i've met some truly kindred spirits in my life so far. especially my two nicoles. (well, coco i not so much met as i was born to the same parents). i love them girls and their cute purses.
plan to be surprised.
lunch: whole wheat pita with tuna or deli meat or a big salad with grilled chicken.
