Hi
Alert Readers! Who can believe that it is MAY????? My word! Where
did Spring go? We are already in triple digits here in the Valley of the Sun.
GAH! Well, I must admit that I
don't actually go out all that much. Now that I am on Leave from the Temple for
a while, I pretty much only leave home to go to Kristin's for "Girls
Day" once a week, and to church on Sunday. So I don't suffer the heat
much. Denny does almost ALL of the shopping. He has done the grocery shopping
for 3 or 4 years. Yep! I am a spoiled brat. Denny is Hubby #1 in the whole
world! Love, love, love him!!!!! Now, I do SOME shopping- but it is on the
Internet! Does that count?
I am frustrated because my
left knee is simply getting worse- not better. We were hoping that time would
come to our aid, and the knee would somehow just "self-correct". I
know, I know . . . that was dumb to even consider. But we were not in favor of
"exploratory surgery" for Dr. Matthews to get a look inside my knee
to see what is wrong. We chose to wait three months and have another bone scan.
What I have to do is LOSE
WEIGHT. I absolutely hate to say that out loud like this, because then
everyone is WATCHING . . . and I feel that I am letting people down if the
weight doesn't come off easily, which it won't. Losing weight to me is a very
personal, sometimes bitter battle. Please, friends, just be patient and please
do not mention my battle to me. I am aware that I need to lose weight. I
have heard EVERYBODY'S weight loss scheme and story. I have done it before and
can do it again – my way. If you see me eating a cookie at a party, please
allow me to enjoy the cookie without criticism. CRITICISM
DOES NOT WORK. Never has; never will.
Okay- okay- I'll get off my
soapbox now. ;-)
Rory is coming to be with
us tomorrow!!!! We are so happy to have her once a week!!! We have bonded
tightly with her. She is now 10 months old, and so fun, entertaining and sweet-natured. Now that she is
walking/sprinting, she really keeps us on our toes. We build a barricade to
keep her safe, and she is really good about staying "in". Sometimes,
of course, she DOES get away and escape.
But she's really good about coming back to us when we call her,
uhhhhhhhhhhh . . . SOMETIMES!
Rory's birthday is next
month . . . and we have her presents all hidden in our closet. Why we are
HIDING them is pretty silly- SHE wouldn't recognize them anyway! But half the fun is stowing things away
for later. Her Mama and Daddy
already gave her the big present. It is huuuuge, lights up and makes fun
noises, and GUESS WHAT SHE WANTS TO PLAY WITH???? The box they keep the balls in! Bwahahaha! I think for Christmas, we are going to give her
some shoe boxes, wrapping paper and a ball of tape! She'll be thrilled!
Not too exciting of a blog,
I know. But THIS. IS. MY. LIFE.
. . . sigh . . . Farewell for now, Alert
Readers! We'll talk again
later! Love you all! Sue ;0
