I’ve been stewing about this for several weeks. My husband has had an earful. Since he’s parish treasurer at our church, it was partly his job to hear it all. I’m having a difficult time not making a big deal of it when I meet with other parishioners, though, so I decided I’d better get my [...]

Weight Loss Center Surgical Discussion Group
Posted in Day to day, General, Health, Life, Weight loss on September 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I had been dreading attending this group meeting. Support groups have never been my thing. I always felt like I give more than I receive. So I wasn’t looking forward to this one with any positive expectations.
I was wrong!
I believe in admitting it when you’re wrong and, gratefully, I was. This group was fun! Yes, [...]
Dancing and Hockey

My dear son (the one with Asperger’s Syndrome) “forgot” to tape the results show of Dancing with the Stars for me. I guess he was too busy reading or watching TV or using his computer to remember. So this morning, instead of watching the result show, I’ve been searching around online to find the results. [...]
Dancing with the Stars, Week 1, Day 2

The men have danced. I was a bit disappointed overall (the men have been great the past few seasons) but also pleasantly surprised in a couple of individual cases.
The men competing this season are:
Helio Castroneves, the Brazilian Indy car driver who won the Indy 500 back to back. He is partnered Julianne Hough, last season professional winner. [...]
Dancing with the Stars, Week 1, Day 1

Season 5 of Dancing with the Stars kicked off last night with some familiar faces and the first dance by the ladies. I really love this show and wish I could dance – in fact, that’s one of the “prizes” I have asked my husband for when I lose all the weight I need to [...]
My Heart is Breaking
Posted in Day to day, Family, General, Lakota, Lakota friends, Life on September 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I got an e-mail from my Lakota friend yesterday afternoon. Sunday e-mail has become unusual, since they had moved to Rapid City and only had access to a computer at the public library. I was startled by the subject line as well – it read “Urgent.” That is not something I’ve seen before from my [...]
The Ornaments are Done!!!

Hallelujah! Praise God! Say it in whatever language you like!
They’re done. Finished. Complete.
118 ornaments for our church Christmas tree, made, a label with the church name and year attached, bagged and boxed. There are no markings on the box except for the computer printed note attached to the top indicating the contents. No handwriting to [...]
My son got a full time job!

It’s true. My son got a full time job, after working part time for over 3 years. It certainly isn’t his “dream” job, but it may allow him to move out on his own sometime in the future.
The job is working for WalMart, full time, unloading trucks at a WalMart SuperCenter. 2-11 PM 5 days [...]
Good news and bad news – so what’s new?
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Life on September 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
That’s the primary thing you have to learn about fibromyalgia. There always seems to be two sides to everything. You have lots of energy for a day – and none for the next three. You accomplish some physical task you didn’t think you would – and have increased physical problems for several. You almost come [...]
Mischief – Country and Otherwise
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Travel on September 19, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Today is Wednesday and, as usual, my husband had a half day of work. While he worked the morning away, I got into some unexpected mischief – then we both got into another kind of mischief together when he came home.
I was playing games this morning to pass the time until my husband got home. [...]
