enough hours in any day...

I feel like I'm not catching up. And out of the other side of my mouth I say: life is so peaceful! I say this as I prepare to head off to the Bowl for a lovely evening with Jamie Cullum, and David. We haven't been this summer, and we LOVE Jamie Cullum and the Bowl, so this is a necessary break. Oh, and we bought the tickets forever ago, so it's one of those things that sneaks up on you! I love the picnic thing...and the wine thing...and the under the stars thing! What could be bad?

The tile guy starts next week, but might be here this weekend to demo, and I'm still packing to get everything off the floor...it took me 2 days to pack Ian's room, and don't even ASK about the crap I found in that black hole! Ian and his best bud know they are due here Saturday to move furniture... I can move a lamp, and not much else!

My room, not a problem; the kitchen not a problem, the dining room... the living room... not a problem! The office/workroom: EEEEEEEEEEEKKKK! This room that has our desks and computers and scrapbook supplies and workbench...OMG! The quantity of furniture in this room is frightening...and we're getting glass desks from M&D in the next 2 weeks as they prepare to redo their office...SCORE!

Tomorrow night is nails, so in to Inglewood I go, but will hang with the folks afterward! And I still need to pick grout that matches the tile and the wood. And Saturday is a 10k, so we'll be done quickly...will be at the Rose Bowl, so might have to hit Roscoe's after...we will have earned it!

My quest to return to TJ's continues... if I could get paid to not work I would, but as of now I still need the money, and the benefits rock. Not to mention, because I've lost so much "in" time, I have one more year until I'm 100% vested. I will not rant for too long, but they broke me and need to take more responsibility then they are. They have become a corporation, and in this case that is a very dirty word.

Bucket and I went to the Comedy Store the other night to see her friend, and about 10 others for $5.00. Sadly, I think we overpaid!

Where did August go? I was so busy, I blinked and it's gone.

September brings the deadline for my first circle journal shipment...crap, that's soon! It also brings an 18 mile day and a 20 mile day. EASY CHEESY! September also brings lots of great new Creative Memories products...check out my site: www.mycmsite.com/susiecomi. September also brings another FUNDRAISING CROP - SEPTEMBER 20TH. Email me if you'd like details!

October..OMG: My office is moving the last weekend of September right before Rosh Hashanah and Inspiration Unlimited; Yom Kippur, the Nike Marathon and the Ontario Expo. OY!

November will be the surgery to remove that darned cyst. It had better be laproscopic surgery, or you'll hear me screaming on the right coast.

Enough of my babble... love to you all.

I wish this didn't sound like bragging...

So many of you know how unhappy I was with my weight. Gotta love a guy who doesn't mention how fat you get when he knows you have no control, but I hated buying the next size up!

Anyway, since I was about 13, even at my thinnest I was a size 10: Jewish hips and thighs all the way...and truly built like a Frankel! But yesterday mom and I went shopping... and all of the pants that fit are a SIZE 8. Seriously...wanted to wear the tag on the outside; called my sis and giggled.

Sadly, a lot of my friends are struggling right now, and I got ya. I feel a little bad blogging this, but this is MY life right now, and I recognize YOUR struggles, too. I love you all and want to support you the way you have me!

Here's to the size we ARE, the size we WANT to be, and the true size we CAN be!

It Takes a Long Time 2 b 46...

Yup, it's my b'day and I'm 46. Shocking; I don't feel like whatever 46 is, and certainly can't fathom how I got here! But it sure feels good!
