I have to say thank you for all the wonderful comments and posts to my last email. I guess God took pity on my whining and heeded your loving comments...because I finally broke free of the 244 lb. barrier! Officially down to 239 - 25 pounds and counting!! Yeah!
It's been a strange couple of weeks. Interviewing for a job I already have - which blessedly seems to be re-instated to me. Apparently impressing some folks with a binding machine...a tool I've been using for 10 years. I remember impressing another boss with said tool back then. Little does anyone know I just find the machine fascinating and will use any excuse to use it :) Setting up interviews for other people...for jobs which they already have - but not have next week.
My sister Rebel came in town with her family on their way to Williamsburg, VA - 1/2 work, 1/2 vacation. We had a wonderful dinner with my Aunt and Uncle and cousins. You know it's always touch and go with family...but happy to report that everyone seemed to have a really nice time. Even the youngun's. I remember being bored as hell during family reunion type events, but my youngest nephew just made himself at home telling tall tales of public-school persecution and being wrongfully accused for being a bully. I believe the school labeled it terrorism??!! Where have we come in this world????
Then Mrs. Kravits had to go up north (Georgia that is...not NY) to care for her pseudo-daughter in law while she had an appendectomy or something, so I'm left to buy an 18 pack each night for her brother. Seriously - Old English 800 Malt Liquor. I'm not lying.
Yesterday, which seems like a week ago, an old friend of mine came in for a 6 hour layover, so we tooled around Buckhead to seek out her old apartment and bars, only to discover all but the apartments had been torn down to build new strip malls. After a lovely lunch (including a fabulous margarita!) I took her back to the airport only for her to find her flight cancelled and winding up just going home instead.
Today, I was at the church by 8:30 working on funeral floral arrangements, at work by 10am. Discovered Travelocity was having a great summer sale and bought tickets back to Austin for the end of August. Told Mom she could have me for three days, but Saturday I was going to Schlitterbahn! Haven't been there in 20 years and been dreaming about it nearly as long. World's largest water park! Yeah!!! Invited Rebel and the family, Ron, and left messages for Wende and Whit to see if we can't make it a family affair. Anyone else in the area is more than welcome to come as far as I am concerned. Saturday, August 27th. Let's go!
Really hoping to make the most of this summer as I believe this fall will be crazy busy. In fact, I think I might just take Mrs. Kravits up on her offer to go to Panama Beach for the 4th of July. Who cares if I'm fat? It's not like I'm going to see these people again, right? Really, it's more like a pig in $#!&/ A year from now - none of this will even matter. Most stuff in life doesn't.
My thoughts for the day...
