Drawing a Blank...
Of all the things you can draw; water, a picture, a conclusion, etc...I seem to be drawing a blank as far as a title goes. Hmmmm, title block I guess. Today was pretty uneventful as days go.
I'm really getting to the point where I MUST follow my schedule, if I don't, I seem to get pretty cranky. I like to get up at my lazy pace, make my breakfast which consists of 1 C. Oatmeal w/ 1/3 C. craisins, one hard boiled egg and 1 C fat free milk. I then proceed to my treadmill where I walk for 30 minutes or 200 calories. If I get to 200 calories before my 30 minutes is up, I continue walking for the last few minutes. Next, it's off to the shower! I've lost 9 lbs since the first of January and a few inches off my waist. I'm feeling a lot healthier too. Yes, I do eat well through the day too. I've cut out SO much of the carbs that used to keep me going through the day. Only 4 starches the whole day and when it's bread, it's always whole grain, no enriched products if possible. I think the thing that makes it a lot easier is that I don't drink pop, (soda, carbonated beverage, coke(gag) ) I haven't had one in almost 4 years!! My child_units still try to tempt me with the occassional Dr. Pepper, but I'm far beyond that :) My only downfall is still white chocolate. I can do w/out the regular milk chocolate, but man, sometimes I just HAVE to have that Lindor Lindt White Chocolate!!! Oh yeah, I do and extra few minutes with the hula hoop when I indulge, so, it's all good. Em wants me to wear baggy clothes until I've made a drastic, noticable difference in my appearance and then make some kind of grand entrance. Might be fun :)
My eldest child_unit made a little progress today, woo hooooo, he actually wrote his letter for scholarships!!!! He still has to get 2 letters of recommendation though, one from a teacher and one from a person in the community. No problem with either one of those. Progress to be sure!!!
Alex has decided to run track this year, I'm very pleased with that decision. I know he can do well. I just wish Ben would run. This IS his last year after all. He seems pretty much against it though. Em, of course, is running. She'll be doing shot-put and discuss too probably. Of course, she and Alex will probably be into softball and baseball, respectively, at the same time.
The basketball team, Alex's that is, won their game last night. It was an incredible game, they won in the last 3 seconds of the game. They played this team at their first game of the season and lost by 30 some points. They, the other team, was NOT happy about losing! Alex's coach rewards the player with the most rebounds with a pizza and Alex had the most rebounds this game. I think it's the second time he's won it.
Hmmmm, tomorrow feels like a baking day. I found a new recipe for Oatmeal Craisin cookies, I think I need to make them! Yesterday, I made these Fudge Brownie Bites. They were like little brownies in a tart shell. YUMMY! Yes, I did eat a few. (they're really small, OK!) I might make some no-bakes too, both chocolate/peanutbutter and just plain peanut butter ones. Those are actually pretty healthy, except for all that sugar. Hmmmmm.
Well, I think I'm gonna go and read more of my book, plus, I think others want their time on the puter.
Y'all cuddle up and read,
Love Ya :)

LYNE! How's life? How are the kiddies? How is Ben? What is up?
Life is good :) Well...not so good for D, he's been sick w/ the flu, but he's starting to feel better.
We got new carpeting yesterday!!!!! (No, he didn't puke on the carpeting!)
Ben is good...anticipating graduation. Emily just sprained her ankle on Monday at her first softball game of the season *sigh*, she's not too happy about that either because she had to miss her first track meet too.
Alex is Alex.
Christen is still Christen...need I say more?
Tom is busy now that dock season is here...but of course, when is he NOT busy?!?!
I wish you could be home for graduation and Ben's party!
