Well, it never ends! Got home from grocery shopping and there was one leftover grilled hot dog - sure enough, I ate it. Then finished off the huge plate of pasta stuff that I’d made earlier for my supper…..then had some sweet tea.

For exercise, if you can call it that, I went “rollerblading” for mmmm, about 40 minutes I guess. I put it in quotations, because as I’m just learning, it really wasn’t much of  a workout. Unless holding your legs stiff as boards ’cause your afraid of falling burns a lot of calories….it was so nice in the park, but the burning question of the day is “Why on earth did God create GNATS????” The little buggers just annoy you ’till your mad enough to kill somebody! I didn’t have any insect repellent….but I wonder if it works on them anyway…

In other news… M called and wants me to work for her tmw. I was so glad to hear from her - it seems like it’s been ages! but really it’s only been a couple of months. She said she broke her arm riding a motorcycle! I told her I really couldn’t picture her on a motorcycle and she said lots of people had said that..but that she used to really enjoy riding them as a kid! Well, I also learned the other day that Rob M. likes to watch Gordon Ramsay, and takes his grilling (B-B-Que) very seriously indeed! I’m learning all sorts of things about people I thought I knew! Now, as for tmw, I shall have to be very careful indeed…it’s all about M and what’s going on in her life and none about me…to quote Elizabeth Bennett, “How much I shall have to conceal.”

…listening to 3 Doors Down, Not My Time - Awesome video!

 ok, supper news:

angel hair pasta (Barilla Plus-the healthy stuff) butter, crispy bacon, garlic, thyme, oregano, parsely, rosemary, parmesan cheese, a little tomato sauce and a sprinkle of cheddar. salad of red leaf lettuce, cherry peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, parmesan. And then………………………..craving sugar again, but used some control, I suppose it helped that I had nothing good (sugar-wise) in the house. Ate: about 2 T. brown sugar right out of the bag, + about 2 T. blackstrap molasses. Oh, and 2 orange essence prunes. Sugar craving under control for now….but I think I need a cup of coffee.

*Major MoanieGroanie* I’ve got to go grocery shopping tonight yet, because I forgot my checkbook when we were out this morning! Oh well, it’s a beautiful evening!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

It’s around 2:45…we’re back home…had a lovely lunch with D & L and their daughter at Cherry Street Grill….Lee (the owner) smiled over at me a couple of times but didn’t come round to schmooze…he looked pretty busy. The salmon salad was delectable, and the after dinner coffee was very good…I asked for a littel cream and they brought me about a gallon of the REAL STUFF…”Ahhhhhhh…..” yep, I ended up having a little coffee in my cream! But no sugar! Gah! NOSUGAR!!!! I felt horrible this morning but I’m starting to come around I think.

Not sure what all I’ll do this afternoon….need to work on the dishes pretty soon  - gotta change into comfortable clothes first….need to go buy lunch stuff for tmw - almost forgot I have to send a pack lunch for J’s field trip tmw.

OH, the devil came to church this morning…in the form of a sweet little old lady, bearing Otis Spukmeyer muffins. And she had a shitload of them! Land of Goshen, I was tempted…but I thought No!!! I do not want to feel this horrible lethargic, tired, grumpy, bloated feeling any longer than I have to….eating one of those muffins is so totally NOT WORTH THE MISERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I resisted!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! I can just say NO!

 ”This is IT!! See? …Y’ either get back on that diet er Ah’m gonna blast ya, see? Yeah….yeah.”

Oh….my…..gosh. I feel sooooo crappy this morning! Who knew going (just a wee bit) off my healthy diet could lead to such misery the next day??? Well, I am more than motivated to get back on the wagon today.  I think I’ll start with a bowl of hot oat bran cereal with absoulutely no sweetener….the way I feel, it actually sounds good.

We’re going to  eat at Cherry Street Grill for lunch, so maybe the grilled salmon salad there…….plus shitloads of water with lemon!
