Friday---Nascar


WOOOWEEEE I spent 12 hours at the Michigan International speedway watching Nascar practices, and Nascar qualifying. I loved it every hot humid moment of it. It was awesome, fast cars, crowds, music, and the drivers. A memory to sustain me until they return to Michigan IN June next year of which I have tickets.

Inspiration


Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Ok now I can truly say I don't know of many moments like this except for the birth of my children, and the birth of my grandson. Not my marriage, not my husband, not my job. What is truly wrong with me. I know I'm with the wrong person but who's the right one?
I am lonely most of the time and that can be with other people as well. I don't know many people and have few friends. Difficult for me to make friends even though I enjoy chatting with the ones I have. How does one find themselves??

Sunday---Nascar, Laundry, Cooking


Well I did the laundry and even got most of it put away. That's a miracle in it self. Then I watched the Nascar race while beginning working on the new counted cross stitch pattern that I received of The Angel of Healing. Its being done in th memory of my son who I lost 6 years ago this year. It will be a fitting tribute and a lasting one to him I hope.
Then I fixed dinner after the race was over and my guys didn't finish up front. Oh well there is next week.
I made the atkins rolls which were yummy and the closest thing I have had to bread in months. it was good with the low carb atkins style beef stroganoff that I made. Which was excellent I might add. I'm getting pretty good at this low carb cooking thing. My neighbor wants some of my recipes too as she has decided to try it after I have lost 35 lbs on it in two months. Well we will see if she has the desire to stick to it.

Saturday


I found a new low carb cereal for breakfast. Its Hodgons Mill Oat bran, same amount of fiber almost as its has carb's. so Its like 3 grams for a 1/4 when mixed with 1 c water and cooked for 2 min in microwave it makes a full cereal bowl full. I added cinnamon and splenda and it was very good. Only 99 cents a box as well.
tonight I'm going to have the faux potatoes with cauliflower. It was 99 cents a head.
Onward with this diet.

The day is full of nothing but bright.
Why is it I cannot see the light
I look and look but only see dark
I no longer hear the sounds of the lark.
I wander here and there through the city
If you see me I know I see your pity.
I no longer see the bright yellow light
I am going into flight.

lunch & Dinner


Two deviled eggs---should of ate more but didn't.
dinner--was a very good microwave meatloaf--low carb and tasted great. had Atkins low carb ketchup on it and it was wonderful. First Ketchup I have had in two months.
had a few deviled eggs for dinner with the meatloaf. The recipe was fantastic and so easy to make and cook. In 15 min time I had the dinner ready. A salad and veggie and presto and filled me right up.
I bought a new pair of pjs at Walmart tonight and they are indeed a size smaller. Pretty soon Ill be out of the plus sizes completely. YEAH

Day 1 Vacation


Ok day one of vacation is hot and humid with storm warnings so we didn't get to go to the beach. Also we have a new addition in the household the 6 year old grandson got himself a guinea pig. With his own money I might add. he saved his money and took his pennies back to the bank today and got himself 30.00 to purchase the new pet.
So now the new pet is firmly set up in his new home (cage) and getting use to two dogs a sheltie and a jack russell staring at him. his name is scooby do my grandsons favorite cartoon and so he is named. He has to settle down some before my grandson can handle him though.

Dreams


I had such dreams last night. I took off going south away from here. I believe I was alone and found a motel in which to hide a ways from here in Michigan I don't know where it was. In my dream I wanted to go south to NC or SC or Georgia something like that not Florida I know. I don't understand my dreams lately. Its like I'm trying to run away from something or escape something. I wonder if that's the meaning of the dreams and that's not the first dream I have had where I have left. Maybe someone else is into dream analysis that could help me understand.

A Day at the Beach.


The afternoon was hot and the water was warm. Two days of 90 degree heat will do that. I watched my grandson and my daughter playing in the water. I joined them for a while and then retired to the beach and my chair to stitch. Next to our space was a family who had some friends join them I guess. WOW was the guy who joined them good looking. He was built like someone who worked out with weights but not overly muscularly. He had longish hair about to his collar but nice looking and he had a sun tattoo on the middle of his back of a sun with dolphins inside it jumping. I mean it took up the whole middle of his back. He was very good looking. He was with a terribly skinny and white girl. By white I mean she had never seen the sun. Like fish belly white and blonde of course. (SIGH) he was truly built.

Sun, Sand, Water


Ok so we are back from the beach, full of sand to be shaken off things before it gets brought into the house. I think I'm a bit sunburned ok so much for 35 spf sunscreen. I wish that it had been lake Michigan up north though. Ah (sigh) well grandson had a splendid time playing in the water with his mom and me then he played with a little girl to in the sand for awhile. Now comes the what's for dinner question. (SIGH) Ill figure out something.I always do.

4th of July Storms.


Ok the beach plans have been ruined for now the storms have entered the area. I have now decided to record my daughers Shania Twain cds to the computer. I took them when she was not looking. I'm glad that we like the same (well almost) types of music.
