I weighed myself on February 7, but haven’t been able to post till now. I did it twice and both times showed 140 lbs. even. I expected it to be more because I am still not watching what I’m eating and continue to gorge. I keep looking for quick fixes such as lipo; a new…

Setting goals works. Unfortunately I am not one that has ever set goals. You can tell that by how I’ve lived my life. I wasn’t raised with the thought of setting goals or to be goal oriented. My first memory of having goals and meeting them happened when I was in my early thirties. I…

I met Cat, (Catherine Walker) at the garden shop, she is also a volunteer. We immediately hit it off. Cat did restocking, solving problems, really anything that didn’t involve the cash register. We both worked Wednesdays and Fridays, first shift. She loved cats, (sans her nickname) and had two which she loved and would come…

Since I’m going to go through my family members, I’ll start with myself. I am in a loveless marriage. Unfortunately my taste in men throughout the…

I had to start with a lyric from my favorite Christmas song, “Happy Christmas, (War is Over).” We started shopping and decorating late because we spent so much time in New York for Thanksgiving. I didn’t put up a tree, we would be leaving for Christmas in two weeks. I did decorate a little, I…

I can’t keep up….. Never wrote about Thanksgiving in New York, (our first in years). Now it is after Christmas and this is my first day being able to write. There is so much that happened and is happening now, that I don’t know where to begin, or begin at all. The time has past…
