Stuck at 25

Well, I've lost 25 pounds and seem to have hit a plateau. I guess I'm going to have to throw a little more exercise in there. If I eat any less I might as well just quit eating altogether lol. Hopefully my next report will have a few more pounds melted away.

Weight loss update

I've lost a total of 23 pounds so far. Only 3 more pounds than last time but I'm slowly getting there. I feel much better already just losing this much weight. So when I get to the weight I want to be I should be feeling great!

Almost Amy Tour

Almost Amy will be going on tour in July. I thought wow, this would be fun because I've been wanting to see them. They usually play in small clubs and come out and mingle with the fans, take pictures and sign autographs. But they're only making 20 stops and they will probably all be in or close to California. I was thinking that I would fly to California (or the closest place they were playing to Texas) and go see them. Of course it wouldn't be any fun going alone. Then one of my friends told me they only play about 8 songs, which is great if you live there. But it's a bit extravagant to spend all that money for such a short concert. Not to mention we couldn't afford it anyway. And I doubt I would ever get away from the family, they would want to go too. So unfortunately this will have to wait until a later date. At least You Tube posts the concert so that's almost as good as being there. At least I'll be able to see it.

Mother Daughter Time





Last weekend me and my daughter Melissa spent a lot of time together just playing around and having fun. We went to the movies and saw "What Happens In Vegas", which was very funny and we both liked it. Then we went and had some lunch. On Sunday we went and got manicures and pedicures...hence the huge pictures of her hand and foot lol. And a couple of pictures of her. No pictures of me this time, I wasn't picture ready. I did get a manicure and pedicure but didn't feel the need to show everyone mine. Hers was cute, she had flowers on her big toe and ring finger. Needless to say we had a great time together. She is the greatest daughter in the world.

Mothers Day



I'm a bit late in posting this. I received these beautiful flowers from my sister on Mothers Day. It really made my day. It's very seldom someone is so thoughtful to think of me on any occasion. I was so happy when I got them (I think maybe the 1st time in my life I received flowers from anyone). My sister is the greatest person I know and I love her very much. I hope she realizes just how special she is to me.

Graduation 2008


Oh yes, graduation is Monday June 9, 2008. The day most students and their families look forward to. There is a certain pride you feel when you graduate from High School and have the whole world at your fingertips. The parents are proud and start getting their son (or daughter) ready for the new adventure of College. That's the way I heard things should go anyway. My son is refusing to walk the stage and receive his diploma...says they will mail it to him! So I haven't been able to mail out any invitations. I would hate to have the whole family there to see him and he's not there. His Father hasn't given up yet but it's too late now to invite anybody. He's supposed to go to College this fall, I sure hope he takes a different attitude about this. I guess we'll know by the end of the 1st semester. But he does want a $2000 laptop for a graduation present. He says if we don't get him the one he wants then don't get him one at all. He may be going to college without a laptop lol. My daughter and I both have laptops and they cost $500 each. It's been 2 years and they're working just fine. So that's my current dilemma. And at this stage of the game I've sort of lost interest in the whole graduation myself. Let you know next week how things worked out.
