Hopefully it’ll all be straightened out soon enough.
I must say, I really had a fantastic weekend. It was full of a lot of good quality husband and kid time. Sat was great in a lot of ways, but I must tell you something that’s pretty funny. I always talk about how into Danica, Caleb is. Well, she wrecked on Sat. (not hurt, just out of the race). Caleb cried. He actually cried real tears over it. It was really funny to see. He doesn’t have a lot of emotion like that, so it was good on some levels, but Brian and I also got a good laugh out of it. I thought about recording it and putting it on her twitter page, but then thought that might be a little mean. Yes, I have that sense of humor. If you and I are together and you totally bite the dust, I’ll start cracking up. It’ll happen before I can stop myself, and make myself check to see if you’re okay. Yep. I’m sick, I know :) Anyway, he was still crying at the dinner table, but finally pulled himself together to eat. Brian had bbq’d chicken, and
it’s one of the few things that Caleb really likes to eat. The weather cooled down a bit on Sat., so it was nice to sit outside and have some beers with Brian on the deck. We don’t have a patio set, yet, but we do have a couple of camping chairs. Same story, different neighborhood: we are the white trash :) It felt so nice, though. The heat index was over 105 a lot of last week.
Yesterday, Brian and I went to White Pines State park to check it all out. We hiked about 3 miles. It felt so good to be on actual terrain. It’s so flat out here…. We really did have a great time. After we returned, I got ready and met Laura for the movie: The Watch. If you like super dumb comedy, this one’s for you. I usually do, but this one almost seemed like it tried too hard. Maybe I’ll watch it again when it’s on dvd, with a glass of wine in me. Stupid humor is always best like that. After the movie, we chatted at Starbucks for a bit. (I had tea, instead of my usual hot choc w/ soy). The night was spent making dinner and juicing. After that, it was relaxing time watching the Olympics. Oh how I love them. Really, really, truly love everything about the Olympics. I love every event. I even got way into the archery. The swimming is among my favorite, though. Those swimmers astonish me!
Oh yeah, the weigh in…. 209.4 lbs. Down 6 lbs 4 oz this week! Yay me!
I feel so awesome about it! Thanks for following me on this journey. Hopefully, you’ll be able to take something positive away from it. I know it’s a continual learning cycle for me.
I heard, Everything by Alanis yesterday on the radio. I hadn’t heard it in forever. What a great song. I’m so very grateful for the place that I’m at in my marriage right now. Truly, truly blessed. Thought I’d share the lyrics.

Everything
I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's
going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes
I am the wisest woman you've ever
met.
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected.
I have the bravest
heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive
as I am sometimes.
You see everything, you see every part
You see all
my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
I
blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be
devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you've never met anyone
as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.
You see everything, you see
every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of
which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And
you're still here
What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I
know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go
I'm the
funniest woman that you've ever known
I'm the dullest woman that you've ever
known
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never
met anyone
Who is as everything as I am sometimes
You see everything
(you see everything), you see every part (you see every part )
You see all my
light (you see all my light) and you love my dark (and you love my dark )
You
dig everything (you dig everything) of which I'm ashamed (of which I'm
ashamed)
There's not anything (there's not anything) to which you can't
relate (to which you can't relate)
And you're still here
(You see
everything, you see every part)
And you're still here
(You see all my
light and you love my dark)
And you're still here
(You dig everything of
which I'm ashamed)
(There's not anything to which you can't relate)
And
you're still here...
