Resolutions


I'm following my muffie Trynitee's example and putting my resolutions down in order to make myself a little more accountable.





#1 - I need to resolve to appreciate Ted more. He is so very good to me and sometimes I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I love him so very much. And when his geekiness gets out of control or when he comes home with twenty of one item from the damaged freight store and we probably don't even need one - I need to calm myself and just let it roll. He's just being Ted - the guy I love.

#2 - I need to keep working on the weight. I had lost 27 pounds prior to the holiday. I've gained about four back since going off my diet. I am going back on the diet here in a couple of weeks and need to work harder on maintaining. The excuse that it's "rough during the holidays" can't cut it anymore. It's gotta become a way of life.

#3 - I need to be more organized and get some more projects done. I need to start deciding what I want to accomplish in this house and get them done. There are more rooms to paint!!!




#4 - And finally - I vow to spend more time with my kids and my grandbabies this year. With my kids I need to just be with them more and with my grandbabies I need to take them on more dates - I need to let them come hang out at Coco's more. They are the very center of my heart and I want to spend more time with them!!

    When your done painting, I have a bathroom that needs to be done as well. :)
    Your lucky your daughters will let you take the grandkids on playdates. I would love just to take mine out shopping or to lunch with just the 2 of us.

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
