One of Those Weekends

It really has been one of those out of control weekends.  Not me being out and being out of control, but out of control eating and stupid stuff.

This whole weekend I have been out of control eating.  I will control myself for part of the day and the other part I'm going crazy.

Friday....... cookies at my mothers and other crap.  My mother always has crap at her house and when you're there, "do you want a cookie little girl?"  My mother weighs less than 100 pounds - she hasn't always, she just has been a lucky person who was able to lose the weight after gastric bypass and kept it off.  When she got sick she lost probably another thirty pounds that she could not afford to lose.  I could probably piggy back her and not feel a thing at this point.  She can eat cookies, she needs to eat cookies, I do not need to eat cookies and I will eat them if they are offered because I don't have the wherewithal to turn it down.

Saturday...... started out ok.  Pretty healthy breakfast, eggs with lean ham and whole wheat toast.  We got pizza for lunch at the yard sale, ate only one piece with a piece of crazy bread.  Dinner was a community barbecue.  I ate pretty good as far as the regular food, except I probably didn't need the chips, but then I ate a churro and a cookie.... and cupcakes.  Today, I've eaten ok - except the cupcakes........

Let me tell you about the cupcakes.  I usually make cupcakes for the barbecue every year.  This year, I was going to make them and for some reason I burnt the bottom of some of them.  So after going through them, I didn't feel that I had enough to try and get them to the barbecue.  So when I got home yesterday, I frosted them and figured everyone in the house would help eat them.  Raja and Rustie didn't eat any.  KayeLynn had one last night.  Ted had a couple of unfrosted cupcakes last night with strawberries.  The rest were here today.  I have been eating them and eating them.  I finally said ENOUGH!!!!!  I threw the rest of them away.  All I can think about now is how miserable I am from eating them.  I am sick.  I am nauseated.  I am angry with myself.  I frustrated.  Stupid cupcakes.  Stupid me.

Now, let me tell you about the churros.  Yesterday, one of the guys in our neighborhood offered to bring all of the buns for the hot dogs and hamburgers.  He is a baker at the Reams close to the house.  He also brought churros that he made, too.  Churros that they make at the Reams bakery.  These had to be the best churros I have ever tasted or eaten in my entire life.  They were huge around.  They were perfectly cooked and I probably can never look at another churro in my life and I can never go to Reams.  I will dream of those churros the rest of my life.

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
