1) - I feel as if I should organize 'neighborhood lawn service times'. I am sick sick sick of every Friday having the deafening sounds of mowing and trimming and whacking. First on one side, then on the other and then across the street. I HATE NOISE! Have I mentioned that? One of the guys across the street (just a bit ago) screamed FIVE times to another guy "DO YOU WANT EAR PLUGS?" "WHAT?" "DO YOU WANT EAR PLUGS" "WHAT?" (you get the idea) I was about to scream "YES! I WANT EAR PLUGS!" but they never would have heard me.
2) - It hasn't been an overwhelmingly hot summer yet. I am thankful for this. Really hot summers make me cranky. This is not good. Avoid me when I am cranky.
3) - I am still soaking in happy memories from my vacation.
4) - I got a magazine in the mail today. In it was an article on back-to-school clothes for 'tweens'. On page 118, a particular 'tween' is wearing a $123 jacket, $87 jeans, $30 shirt and $32 shoes. This 'tween' also has an iPod. I wonder where she works? It reminded me of how I would explain to my kids in terms of how many hours of work it would take to buy something. I still do that. It's why I thrift shop.
5) - I miss my dog.
6) - Somehow I know when it is 3 in the afternoon. For YEARS it was the time I got into the car to pick up my kids from school. I haven't done that in years, yet I still catch myself looking at the clock at 3:00.
7) - I need to pick up a book on cat psychology. My cat has suddenly decided that he LOVES to roll in dirt. And then STAY dirty. This just seems so uncatlike to me. I've even given him a bath, and he LOVED it! How weird is that?
8) - Today, if I had a car, I would go to the library. The neat, orderly, library. Instead, I will go into the messy library nextdoor, where I am the one responsible for organizing. And I will weep.
9) - It should be easy for me to hop back on my eating plan. No more birthday or holiday celebrations for quite some time. Today I resumed drinking lots of water, and I suppose I could call that exercising also. I do need groceries. My food choices today have been limited to mooshy mooshy low-carb bread and an apple with cinnamon.
10) - I'm about to order something that is supposed to give me energy and help control my blood sugar levels, which are horrific. At least to me they are. My doctor likes to say they are 'not too bad' and 'if you would just lose weight'... I tried to schedule an appointment to have a leg removed - you know - preventatively - but they wouldn't hear of it.
11) - I wondered when it would hit me. You know. That I am a GRANDMA. It all washed over me today in the shower. I'm a GRANDMA! It was a very very good feeling.
12) - THGGM has lost 24 pounds in the last two months. I'm happy for him. He makes me sick. I'm happy for him. He makes me angry. I'm happy for him. He can eat whatever he wants all weekend long and STILL lose weight. I'm happy for him. I love him. It just isn't fair.
13) - I love my life!

Oh my! I think we are living parallel lives or something. I can sooo identify with #1 and #2. I've been missing my cat, Skittles. I also need groceries(have been putting it off for days). I have two overdue books at the library but just can't seem to get myself over there. I also need to lose weight... and your weight-losing husband makes me sick, too. :) ...teee...heee... Blessings, Debra
#1) I am naughty...but I wonder if perhaps you could set up some sprinklers to hit the neighbors yards on both sides (wet grass does not cut well)? I solved more than one problem with kids messing about my yard, by simply going around back and turning on sprinklers. Heehee...I can imagine your dismay at the noise...of course, if they are consistant, perhaps you can use that time to go to town and shop.
#2)Today here was perfect...a nice cool breeze coming from the direction of the ocean a couple hours away...not much humidity!! Hubby and I went to help friends clean up, paint, etc to get into their house...a goood day to do that. I am with you...HEAT is not good!!

Your post made me laugh, then cry, then laugh, then cry, then..... Well you get the message. HUGS!
It is frustrating that they can lose it so fast and make it look so easy. Oh well! It sure keeps me motivated to stay honest and keep working. Hang in there...you'll lose it too!
Your cat loved the bath? That is really odd.
