So I was driving to work this morning, cold air, sunlight, the crispness is refreshing, and I was thinking that being in my car is the place where I have the peace, quiet, and aloneness that I love. No radio, just me and my thoughts. I have cried many times in my car, trying to deal with what ever crisis, sadness, drama was happening in my life at the time. I even once recorded myself talking 30 minutes to work and 30 minutes home, I guess it was my self therapy. I will continue to love my time alone in my car, and love the silence, being able to hear myself, and being able to listen.

So we had a day off from work and a 2 hour delay for state workers because of the snow. I wish I could say that I accomplished some great amount of projects at home but that would be a big no. I spoke to my brother on skype and compared notes on the snow here and on Long Island. Spoke to my sister on skype but could not see her, her skype had been attacked by some avatar site and I was speaking to a talking dog, woof woof.
I showed my sister the missins I had made her, I promise to get them in the mail today. She said she loves all the things I make her and it made me think how much I appreciate her, she is everything to me, I feel very protective of her, and having her to make things for gives me such joy and fulfilment. And to have her love the things I make is icing on the cake. I love you Peg.

So Much Snow

Good Morning, Feb 9th. We are expecting another snow storm this afternoon into tomorrow. We have had such mild winters since we moved here to Harrisburg, this is really different, like being back in the poconos. Today I have to mentally light a fire under my butt, I have so much to do, so many projects to finish. I am however doing very well on the WW . I am doing it for me, no one else just me. We babysitted for B last nite, those boys are so cute, but , yes I am getting old when changing diapers is a back killer. I am glad I am finally working hard to get healthier. Wish me luck on that fire bomb.

Feb 5, 2010, we are expecting a major (so they say) winter storm. I think we have the required bread and milk and plenty to keep us busy for the weekend. First on my agenda tomorrow is to sleep in. I had a really good week for my weight loss, let's pray that my optimism holds firm.
This is the time of year when everyone is waiting for spring, warm weather, fresh air, birds chirping and flowers blooming, I too wait for these things, but I enjoy this time of year when we can hibernate from view. When I can get hold of some sewing projects and enjoy them, not feeling guilty that I am sitting inside on a such a nice day. So after my sleeping in, I will tackle my weekend chores and sew without guilt.

Feb 3rd, saw the dermatologist this morning, only expected a check up after the skin cancer surgery. I had three biopsies. UGH. Nothing to worry about. We had some snow last nite. I am going to take advantage of this sick day, off from work and do some sewing, one of my passions. I only wish I could be hit with some inspiration for this next doll , sometimes it is like waiting for the birth of a child. I will be entering a new post tonite, because I have my first week weigh in at weight watchers and I have been feeling wonderful. Especially this morning, I did not feel like I was blowing out of my clothes, I am being realistic, I know I only lost a few pounds, but if that makes me feel this motivated, I am looking forward to this being the last time I lose this weight in my life. see you later.

So it is Feb 2nd, ground hog day, it is so cold here, I can feel the dampness in the air, they are predicting some snow for tonite.
Today is one day away from my first weigh in at weight watchers. I had a really good week and look forward to many more. I don't think I will be discouraged if I did not lose a lot of weight, a couple of pounds will be fine, because I feel so good. Why do we so easily forget how good it feels to take care of ourselves. We for get the devil is in the donuts and how short lived that enjoyment is. Wish me good luck, this is the last time I am going to lose this weight.
