Unexpected

I feel a lot different today than I did yesterday. If you read my last entry and read between the lines you will know what I mean. If you don't then it's not important.

Unexpected changes happen all the time. You try to be prepared for them, or I do anyway.. It still takes me off guard though.

I never did post pictures from Valentines Day. We baked cookies and decorated them and it was a great day full of laughs and love.


The cookies before we frosted them. Some of them were dark around the edges. Also I lost my heart shaped cookie cutter in the move so we just made them round but they were filled with love anyway :)


We didn't have red food coloring for the frosting but we had red jelly beans. I thought if I put them in the microwave and melted them we could dye to frosting red but it didn't work. It just made it kind of orange looking. I thought it was a genius idea anyway ;)


Prada wanted to help with the decorating!! Awwwwwww......


She really just wanted to nibble.


The finished product! We're still eating them. Of course the day wouldn't be complete without Tee doing something silly. She made a perverted cookie just for her.. lol


It was a good day. Good memories. Those are the times that get you through the challenging times right?

I am grateful for

1. My daughter and the love she gives me unconditionally.
2. My friends and their support and love.
3. My Xena Blu and her constant attention.
4. My sister and the close relationship we have today.
5. Having a Higher Power that I can rely on every minute of every day.
6. Being back in Alanon.
7. My laptop and the constant connection it gives me to loved ones.
8. Long baths with a good book.
9. Tae Bo!!!
10. Beautiful Sunsets and the Havasu weather right now.

Tonight 2-26-09

Sunday

Well, I got my laptop fixed so I've been playing all day online. Now I can play my games and all the bad stuff that keeps me in the twilight zone.. lol

We are finally getting ready to sell stuff around here from Grandma's estate. Starting with the jewelry I believe. We are running out of money and have no choice. But with my computer it will be much easier to set up. So it all starts tomorrow on Ebay to begin with. I'm setting up shop. It should be fun.

Diet is going great, I am only 13 pounds from my goal but I joined SparkPeople to help me stay motivated to get the last pounds off. I just love to eat sooo much it's really hard.

It was really cold here today, didn't get much over 55 degrees. But with the wind chill factor it was lower than that. I hate the cold but it's way better than the heat for sure. My daughter got snow today. Now that she is in the Northern part of AZ she will be freezing her butt off. Her blood thinned so much in Phoenix she was shivering and teeth were chattering like crazy on the phone with me. Made me laugh..

My son's hours were cut at work and he is looking for another job. He's lucky he is in Phoenix, there is a lot more work there. Things look so bleak here. I will be in school after the summer anyway, maybe by the summer semester.

OK, not much else happening. No drama, life is calm and sweet at the moment. Hope you all are doing great. I think I found everyone. I will be able to do facebook now too!! Yay!!

I'll find you if you're there :)
