Hello to everyone (all 2 of you) who have missed out on my ramblings for such a long time. The reason I stopped writing is because Ceil decided that my blog was somehow her business. I lost my desire to write about things that concerned me or gave me a giggle because her nosy busybody self was reading my thoughts. I specifically keep to myself because I don't want THEM in my life, so I just don't get what the problem is. STAY AWAY FROM ME AND MY WRITING! I want nothing to do with you!
Now that I've taken care of that ugliness, I have missed writing about the nothings that are funny in my mind. And I am right now watching the movie, Julie and Julia, which is about a woman who writes a blog as she cooks through Julia Child's Joy of Cooking book. What a great movie. Makes me want to go cook something. Light, of course, since I am currently on Weight Watchers. My first week I lost 5.6 pounds. I don't think I lost anything last week. Not that I didn't follow the diet, because I did. Maybe overnight I will lose about 3 pounds. Nothing wrong with hoping. I want this year to be the year that I lose weight so that some December, when thinking about resolutions for the new year, I will NOT have to list, "LOSE WEIGHT", like one of my friends was able to do this year. Jenn, I salute you!
Oh, how I would love to be able to cook like Julia Child, and have people over and serve them like I know what I'm doing. I've got so much china and crystal and serving pieces, I could have a beautiful spread of a meal. But I don't do it. I've never used my china (any of it) with guests, nor have I let them use any of my crystal, some of which is very very old. I have no silver, except for the tea pot and coffee pot, but I don't care to have any silverware. I'd just have to use my regular stuff. Someday I will do it. I dream of having ladies over for coffee with my beautiful china cups, and making some kind of fancy pastries or cake to eat off of the china plates. And use the cloth napkins. All that snooty stuff, I want to do one day!
For now I live alone with my dog. I eat my meals off paper plates, sitting on the sofa facing the tv, and using the coffee table to eat off of. Not real fancy, but I guess I am in a rut. I know I am important enough to cook good food just for me, and use my china and crystal even though it's just me, but I can't seem to actually do it. So I opt for a hot dog and french fries on a paper plate and a Sprite Zero right out of the can. Oh, and a banana. Gotta get those 5 fruits and vegetables in.
My birthday is coming up the week after next. The one person I desperately want to treat me like it's a special day is my son, but he is still in the 'I hate Mom' stage, so I doubt he will even call me. He already told me he's not getting me a gift (just like at Christmas) because he's saving for ANOTHER gun. Nothing like being ignored because the money has to go toward another gun. But I will survive, just as I do every year. Probably get a mani/pedi and maybe get my hair cut or colored. We'll see.
So enough boring talk. And just as I typed that, I can't think of anything fun to write about. It is 3:50 AM, after all. Maybe later today I'll have something good to say. Just make sure that CEIL knows she is not welcome here!!!

Wow I was really surprised to see your post. Since I was so happy to see it, I figure that I would comment back. Congratulations on sticking to Weight Watchers. I have been going a while, I I finally reached my 5% goal, which actually has really motivated me to stick to the program. We need to get together and do something. LOL Can't have you sitting home alone so much.
I didn't know you were going to WW, too, Jeanine. Teri and CeCe are also doing it. It's pretty easy to do since they give you so many points AND you can eat all of the fruits (and vegetables) that you want. I just can't figure out why I didn't lose last week. When I hit the scale this morning I had actually gained 2 pounds! That does not make me happy, but I will continue on.
We do need to go do something. You seem to always be doing fun stuff. I was thinking about checking into what's going on at the arena and asking Chuck for tickets. lol
I can't wait till our retreat!
Glad to see you're back to writing! I am going to "follow" you. I just wrote on my blog for the first time in almost a year. Gonna try to write on a more regular basis.
