Waiting......

I try to be a patient person, but sometimes I just can't help myself but be antsy!! I have been dreading my doctors appointment for today, but also wanting it to just be over with, when all of a sudden, I got a call and had to reschedule for two weeks from now! So for whatever reason I now have to wait longer!!! OY!! I do appreciate all the good thoughts and hugs I've received in general and towards this appointment, so I will hold on to them for two more long ass weeks! Life is funny and we have to just roll with the punches, hoping it doesn't hurt to much. That's all I have for now, maybe moe later! Ta-Ta! :)

Day of Love....

That is a yummy dinner made by me and hubby!! It is called chicken linguine and is sooooo delicious!! Mushrooms sauteed in red wine, shredded chicken, onions, monterrey jack cheese, chicken broth and sour cream!! So very filling and only 6pts. per serving. (for the w.w. ladies) It was a great day of enjoying each others company. We didn't buy a cheesy gift for one another or get sucked in to buying a card. Instead we both sat down and wrote one another a really lovely letter and read them before dinner. It was the best Valentine's Day ever! I have an amazing hubs and today was just another day for me to see that! Hope you all had a great day enjoying loved ones company without all the broo-ha-ha. ta-ta! :)

W.W.

a little good news came my way last night to try to cheer me up after a horrible blow on monday. i have reached my 5% weight loss and have lost a total of 11 pounds!! woohoo! i am so excited and can feel the effects of losing weight. like baggy pants and tightening the belt. it is all great. i am not going to go a stray because that would be bad, but i will need some support! so if i call some of you saying i want to eat an entire pizza, say ok is that what you really need?! tough times right now, but i won't take it out on food. more later.

sheets...

why is it even though my bed is near the heat and the covers are covering the bed, that the sheets are so flippin cold when i crawl into bed???? you get all ready to snuggle up and BAM!
-10 degree sheets! now you are wide awake and can't fall asleep until you thaw! after bundeling up you are now sweating to death! what an endless cycle of hot and cold bed sheets!!
(hey, this blog is called random thougths!!)
ta-ta! :)

life.

as i sit here not being able to sleep, i am wondering what is really important to me in life right now. i know for sure that family and friends are number one. that is not even a question. without them it would make anybodies life difficult i think.
my job is going pretty good. i have received a raise and am able to become more involved with Habitat by being on boards and helping with major fundraisers and events. it feels good to be doing what i do and i hope i can do it forever. but it is never going to be full time and there is no room for advancement, so i need to take that into consideration. so i am opting to get a second job in the non-profit field (of course!) at the boys and girls club. so i can have two part time jobs to make one full time job. i don't do what i do to one day be rich, i do it to see the look on peoples faces when i am able to help them out in their tough times. although money wouldn't hurt! ;) i have to pay bills somehow! but really, i feel satisfied in my heart and know that for all the help i have received in my life i am trying to pay it forward with the work i do. so that is another thing important to me in my life right now.
my health is another important thing. as with many people, having good health is key. i am so thankful i have joined ww, i have lost 7.6lbs in two weeks!! yay! it helps to write everything down so you own up to what you are eating. i have moved my belt to a smaller notch and my jeans are getting big!!! i even feel a little better with these few pounds off. my lungs are getting better i hope. i was told as long as i keep taking my meds i will no longer be at risk for emphysema. i was told i may have it from the condition my lungs were in before the meds, how scary is that!! i am to young to have that! so i buckled down and started taking my meds and not skipping a day. i want to live to see all these cute kids grow up! children in my future may not happen, things are getting worse not staying better like they were. i think i am slowly becoming sort of ok with not having kids. there is always puppies to adopt. and of course children. i see my doc next week again to have the all important, nerve racking talk of what next. whatever happens it must be for a reason. i hate that saying more than anything, but it makes sense!! the HP must have other things in life for me to do.
i am missing some family members dearly at this point in life, so near some far. but i know one day we will be brought together again. i have an amazing husband who no matter how bad things get he is always my rock to lean on and always knows how to make me feel better. i am so glad the HP brought him into my life! even though at times i want to ring his neck, but everything in life can't be lollipops and sunshine.
i wish everyone the best for 2009 and on. i hope all your lives are filled with love, happiness and nothing short of goodness and health.
ta-ta! :)
