Trip to Texas in June

I almost forgot I had taken some pictures while I was in Texas in June. These were all taken from my hotel room window.

Self Pity and Pine Tree sex

That last blog was supposed to be somewhat funny, but it came off with more self pity than I had planned.
Self Pity is never pretty.  No one wants to read a blog like that.

My sister told me about her river trip and said there was this odd yellow dust flying thru the air while they were camping. She came home from her trip and on tv that night was an educational show about the yellow dust that comes off the pine trees....it is the male trees way of fertilizing the female pine cones.  Ewwww! So that yellow dust that was floating thru the air and going up peoples noses and landing on thier food and beverages was pine tree come.

Hopefully that will make you think next time you want to go camping.  Nature is dirty.

44, Single and Fat

In 4 days I will be "44, Single and Fat".  If they made a movie with that title, it might be a comedy. 
A movie about a fat lady that works too much, has become super fat, recently broke up with her boyfriend of 9 years and has never had a date in her life (at least not like my friend Jen, who writes a blog about her wacky dating adventures, see www.axemurderersneednotapply.blogspot.com).
So this comedy might show Miss Single&Fat going to work, buying new clothes (that dont fit when she gets them home), and watching birds in her yard.
That doesnt sound like it will be a very good movie.
hmmmm.

Spring is HERE!!!




Of course I have to take pictures of all the flowers and birds.  I just LOVE them so much.

Feb B-day Dinner

In February we celebrated Jennifer and Susan's birthdays.  Here are some pictures.

Christmas 2009

I just pulled all the pictures off my camera and realized I never posted the pictures from Christmas 2009.
 
Patty loved her new stuffed toy she got for Christmas. It only took about 10 min for her to completely rip it to pieces.

April already?

YES, it is April already, amazing how time flies.  I have been single for a month now and things are going well. 
I have had some fun with new friends.  I feel good because I feel like I can laugh and say what I want without fear of getting dirty looks or getting harrassed about it.
I feel like I can do almost anything. 
There are times when I feel a dark cloud come over me and get discouraged that I might never be able to lose weight, but then I am able to push it away.  Before I would have wallowed in that feeling because of the hopelessness I always felt.  I still have my moments when I almost want to be self-destructive again, but I dont want to be like that, so I am making a conscious effort to change my thinking.
There have also been a couple of times where I feel very self conscious and nervous, but I think that is just because I was in the prescence of a guy I thought was cute and nice. It has been a very long time since I have felt nervous around a guy. 
Anyways that is enough of my sappy "feelings" for now.
I will post some pictures soon, maybe.
