Well I have been MIA for a couple weeks.  Frankly I guess I am just not too good at daily blogging.  I don’t have a way with the written word like Ruby Jean and Anngirl.  I actually bore myself so imagine what I am doin to ya’ll.

Hubby is doing great,  put up with a lot of whining and belly aching the first two weeks he had to work in Oahu.  I had to bite the inside of my cheeks to keep from screaming.  It was so frustrating listening to him whine and moan…”poor me”    BUT then he was finally given that raise he has been asking for……fook…only took four years!   But it was a hell of a gooder, and he also gets all his expenses paid as well….ie:  airfare, meals, lodging etc.  So he is feeling pretty proud of himself right now, and rightfully so.  I feel he is finally getting what he has deserved for a long time.  And the nice thing about this raise is that as production increases so will his raise.  It is not just a one raise and we will talk in a year, it will be based on how he produces.  So it is an incentive for him to work hard, as well as a reward for when he does…

Diet wise…I suck!  nuff said as she sits here with her muffin top hanging out and her double chin bobbing in the breeze.

One good thing I am doing…running!  Yup still at it and still lovin it.  Hubby got me a treadmill and it is a really good one and will even take my weight without a problem.  And so much easier on the knees.  I run 3 to 4 times a week.  I run 1.5 miles per run.  My goal is to run 3 miles per run for 9 to 12 miles per week for the six months and then increase it to 5 miles per run or 15 to 20 miles per week.  My ultimate goal is to be able to run 10 miles per run or 30 to 40 miles per week.  But I am a long ways from that goal, so just mini goals for now.

I am going to Canada on October 12th for my grand daughter’s 2nd birthday.  Wow can you believe she is going to be 2 already?   I can hardly wait to see her and my son.  I miss them so much.

Things are still bad between my son and DIL.  They are still together, but not sure how much longer.  I am not going to stay at their place when I am in Canada, too much tension.  I am goin to stay with a really good friend.  She lives only 5 mins from them, so I will be able to be there with my grand daughter all the time, but won’t stay there.  My son is totally cool with it.  I just told my DIL that they don’t have the room now that her niece is there and working for them.  And that is true too, so it works out fine.

Well that is what has been up with me.  I will try to stay in touch more, but won’t make promised that it will be daily.  I do miss you guys, so sorry I haven’t been around.  But I do get in here and read once in a blue moon just to make sure everyone is okay….
