OBSERVATIONS

Are you wondering about these photos? What they have in common? The answer is so obvious to me...but that's because all of these represent things that ran through my mind this morning!

Ian called me to tell me about "Rob & Big", the television show, that is in the second week of the new season. He had to tell me about Spiderman on the show and the "net gun" Rob bought and them paying an Elvis impersonator and seeing Big on a Vespa...yada yada yada; it was just so freakin' funny! It reminds me that I have a great kid! That he is twisted like his mama, and that he has a great sense of humor and of himself. He, too, is a major work in progress! In February we will be returning to Weight Watchers!

On the way to work, on Ventura Blvd, is a drive-thru Starbucks...I hate them/ I love them! When I had to get out of the car and think about standing in line, it was just as easy to make coffee at the office. But no, they did it to make me realize I am the laziest person on this earth!

And the pedestal is part of a huge secret I can't share, but I can't completely ignore! Those who have known me long consider me the black hole when it comes to secrets! I take them seriously, and they go no where! Anyway, last night I learned something about someone I love, that made me want to put her on this pedestal. She has given someone I love an opportunity beyond imagination, and I must salute her in this very simple way. When this information is share-able I will, and you will understand to need for privacy. You are the woman I aspire to be.

Happy Wednesday! And to those of you who have off Monday for MLK's b'day...I hate you!

Back Surgeries or Lobotomy?

I know I had back surgeries...scars to prove it! But last night I did something I've not done EVER! I craved waffles!

Ian and I climbed into bed to watch "Ratatouille" after he ate dinner, and when it was over he had to go on to the next part of the evening (friend drama). I realized I was hungry, so went looking for something to fill the gap. I opened the freezer and there were Ian's Eggo waffles...so nothing I would ever even consider! I don't eat carbs on their own ever. I must have protein to satisfy me. I dislike sweets. But they yelled at me and I caved! I nuked the butter. I nuked the syrup. I toasted the waffles crisp. I poured a huge glass of milk... and I ate 3 waffles! I'm sure I've filled my waffle quota for the next 5 years, but OMG they rocked my world!

So I guess tonight I won't eat the brioche bun for my burger, just so I can eat ALL of the sweet potatoe fries!

Just wanted to share a little piece of me! xo

A WHOLE MONTH...

It has indeed been a month since my last entry, and I am a clear flake! Wow, even without work, life was hectic...or, oh yeah, I didn't have the energy to even sit at a computer!

Even with my aches and pains, my December was heavenly and I loved seeing my friends...and January started off perfectly.

Today is my first REAL day back in the office (planning 6 hours instead of the previous 1-2), and I'm swamped! Will blog later with photos and notes and a recap of a great month!

Just a quick happy new year hug and letting you all know tha you have been amazing, and that my friends are the gift I've worked 45 years to earn! I love you all!
