back again

okay okay, back again. why am i reluctant to write more often? i write email all the time... i think it's the capital letters. or lack thereof, in my case. no more capitals. without 'em, i am easily inspired.

weight loss update: 19 lbs. this is hard somedays. this week especially. i craved cheese and chocolate all week, most likely because i was ill for half of it, and lost 2 lbs at the beginning of the week on the super duper popsicle diet!

i was planning on watching a show, but our dear prez is on, answering questions. i can't watch. it's like a train wreck. with kittens and young children.

i have begun to seriously alter my work schedule - and so far so good, relaxation is occuring. leaves me time for wonderful dinners with my husband, like last night's filet mingon at the wild horse cafe. mmmm. (now maybe that's why i didn't lose weight this week!)

next week - school vacation - yay! i plan on taking some serious personal time, most likely in boston, maybe see some art, create a few new lo-cal recipies. keep working on photography too. i did recieve some rather unexpected, unwarranted and certainly unwanted advice from a relative recently who took my pics to a professional. MY pictures! without even asking? how rude. in many of my creativity classes we discussed the "naysayers" of the world - they do not create, just comment on other's creations. i suspect she is such a person. good thing i will stick to my pictures, and no longer send them around so carelessly!

there goes the prez... time for some vanilla oatmeal, and coffee.
