Now I face the ginormous task of figuring out how, pratell, I can update five months into one concise Blog entry? Lets see, what has happened since the end of September? I turned 44, Toots turned 10, Bo and I traveled to Chattanooga, TN, in November, to tour McCallie, a prep school, that we might consider for high school and we saw Gnochi and her family. We vacationed in Orlando for Thanksgiving--loved Sea World--not so much Universal Studios, Christmas was pleasant and uneventful, really liked my Christmas Card and circular (banner year), Bo turned 14, and New Year's Eve happened.... weeeeee.
January blew in with SNOW and Winterim for the BIT @ Trinity School, the older two PODS have been working out 5 days a week since mid-November at ActiveEdge (fitness place), I'm still a leaderee of a Girl Scout troop, I take TOOTS to fencing more than once a week, my two youngest kids cause me to waste money on them for piano lessons, BIT teaches a tiny kindergartener violin pupil (she is VERY squeaky and doesn't seem to be improving), B-Daddy and I joined our local Young Life committee and BIT got selected to go work on Young Life Work Crew this summer at Frontier Ranch, in Colorado.
BIT applied to CITYterm, in Dobbs Ferry, NY, for a semester program for the fall of 2011. We won't hear if she gets in until April. I think it would be a GREAT, GLORIOUS thing for BIT to go learn NYC-backwards and forward. Bo was accepted to the McCallie School for the fall of 2011 and I seriously need a job. I had a upper GI tube procedure thingy at Duke (not fun) and I have reflux and other problems. I need to loose weight to get my teeensy tiiiiiiiiny sri lanken miniscule Doctor off my back. Started that about 10 days ago. BIT is on day 17ish of Nutri System and doing a bang-up job! BIT is what inspired begin this weight loss effort...that and a trip to the doctor. I booked a "booze cruiseish" type spring break vacay without the cruise, on a whim, this past Saturday, for me and the PODS and we're not taking B-Daddy. He is uninvited from vacations until further notice. We're going to Cancun, Mexico, and I plan to drink many all-inclusive margaritas. whew. Those are the highlights anyway.
I also forgot to mention--I'm blind...and cheat blindness with my Costco READERS and use them all-day-long and I'm also kind of hard of hearing, too. shit. I still loathe Bo's MIDDLE SCHOOL experience--even though this year has been better than the last two. I think? I'm counting the days till Bo is in high school, wherever that is? Did I mention that we are in the process of delivering 250 boxes of GIRL SCOUT cookies? Toots got her Cookie Diva Pin for the third straight year. It should be my Cookie Diva pin. Not one cookie has passed through my lips.
So, I restarted Medifast...I know that the diet works....takes me off the HOOCH though....but you loose, loose, loose when you do it right. I'm down 9 pounds today. I felt inspired and I cleaned out my closet....gone are all sizes. The rules of the clean-out were this: do you hate it? will you wear it ever? will you wear it fat or thin? does it make you sick to look at it? GONE. Very liberating. I have PILES and PILES of clothes in the upstairs hallway that are waiting to be bagged for Goodwill.
Feeling that I'm on the road to getting my SWAG back....yeah.
