A little nervous.....

about tomorrow's Cowboys / Giants game.

later......

Not much....

going on......so let's have some bullet points!

*SIL from Atlanta has been here since Saturday. She came up for a funeral but I have to admit, it's been awesome spending time with her. Johnny and I are going down to Atlanta in April to hang out, go to some festival and see a Braves game..oh la la!

*Work has been crazy busy......arghhh

*I'm officially on a diet....have to get rid of the "no smoking" weight gain. So what I'm doing is not eating anything white...ie: bread, potatoes, pasta, etc. I'm having Special K for breakfast, a Smart One for lunch or salad bar, vinegar dressing and then some veggies, chicken, salad...that sort of thing for dinner. Snack is celery and/or Slimfast snack bars. Also drinking lots of water. Now that the weather is good, riding my bike each day. So we'll see.....we'll see how it goes. At this point I either lose or accept the fact that this is the way I am. I'm not stressing over it.......not wearing a bathing suit this year but not stressing..haha.

*I have never found a flavored water that I like...umm, that is until now! Ice...that's right, Ice babeee.......yum yum! And only 5 calories. It satisfies my sweet craving.

*Our grandson Maddox is having surgery on the 21st....but shouldn't be too bad. He is having his adnoids removed, also they are checking out his trachea....from the surgery they did when he was 6 months. They think they might need to do a little work there. I know he'll be fine but boy I sure hate that stuff happening to him.

*I have already filled up one of my memory cards for my new camera and almost filling up the other one. I'll post some pics soon.....I'm looking into taking a class. Also, hoping to get on Karen Russell's online class. I need help in deciding how to store my photos. I have always stored them on Image Station but then had to move to Shutterfly. I then get them put on CD....so I feel I have a good backup. I don't want to store on my computer so I'm looking for some kind of external device....any suggestions....anyone????

that's it for now....I'll try to post pics tomorrow

later.......

back to work.......

I knew I was going to have a hard time going to sleep early last night. Especially since I've been staying up so late and sleeping even later so I decided to pop open one of the bottles of wine I recv'd for Christmas. So this one was a blackberry wine that a friend at work gave me. She said it's just so hard to find and it's yummy....like a dessert....like people pour it over cakes and ice cream!
so I opened it and oh my...it's good alright! very sweet but good. She told me she would find me the wild raspberry one.

and it was just enough to help me ease on in to an early night's sleep...but I still didn't want to get up this morning.
later.....

Happy New Year.....

my first post for 2008!
a very laid back day......with a little cooking. We're having pork chops (fat chops that I cook all day long in a low oven and they just fall apart) also having the traditional black eyed peas for good luck (we ARE southern) and cabbage for prosperity. I'm also fixing sauteed mushrooms and cornbread.....again, we ARE southern!

It stopped raining and I stopped shopping so I rode my new pink bike today! I love it. I was wondering while I rode it if I looked silly....I had my Polo big cape on and my hair up....so I was kind of laughing thinking maybe I looked like that witch from the Wizard of Oz when she rode that bike in the sky.....oh well, I had fun.

And now it's back to work tomorrow..everything returns to normal. I'm about ready to go back to work but I'm not ready to get up at 6:00 am. I have been loving sleeping late! oh well......

later........
