Maybe I need my own personal trainer this time, or maybe I can do this on my own. Sigh… once again I find myself stuck at a plateau of weight and I so badly would like to be 10 pounds lighter. Not that I seem to want it badly enough to stop eating LOL! I just want it most days

Well, I’m not sure what the best diet pills are but once again I feel like I need to find out LOL! UGH, I’m soo bloated today I feel like I might burst – and that is going to be gross for all of my coworkers who are within a close proximity . Let me apologize now J Seriously though, I’ve been on a bit of an eating binge. Maybe it’s hormonal. I can at least hope that it will pass and then I can feel human again

I really don’t get too excited about Disney vacations but I know a lot of friends who do. I think it’s because I’m not too big into rides and such. I don’t really have a desire to go to Canada’s Wonderland so why would I want to spend big bucks going to Disney? What I’d love to do is maybe try one of the Disney cruises. I hear those are great and the kids can have a blast at the day camps while mom and dad get a bit of a break too win- win

I feel like I just shopped for Christmas and here I am doing it again. I do enjoy it a little anyway. Shopping for some people is fun. I just find that shopping for the kids can be tough because there is always something on the list that I just can’t find or get a hold of no matter how hard I try. Last year I bought the kids two remote control helicopters and they had a lot of fun with them. This year I’m not sure what our fun thing will be - maybe a board game??? I’d better get figuring it out.

Somtimes I wonder if I’ll ever find someone else with a sense of humour like mine and then I worry that, because it is so odd, maybe I never will 
While most people have a sense of humour that is pretty centre of the line of what society thinks is funny, mine seems to operate on the outside of that line. I like to watch Familly Guy for pete’s sake - how many fun, single guys my age watch that show??!! Not too many I’d wager; certainly not enough to be easy to find. Hmmm…

Things are getting crazy. Gas prices are almost a dollar a litre and don’t even get me started on repairs - wow. My van is pretty darn old but I feel okay about it. My friends understand that I’m saving money for a new vehicle and that I really don’t want to have to make car/van or truck payments. I’ts just so expensive - even insurance is expensive. It seems like I’m paying so many fees for the priveledge of driving. Crazy!

It really does sneak up on me - when I have it and also when my girlfriends have it LOL! I don’t know if it’s a shortage of a hormone or to much of it - or if it’s an estrogen issue, but man oh man something happens that causes a total personality shift. I used to wonder if it was real or if it just happened because I was expecting it BUT I’ve found that even if I’m not charting my cycle it still happens like clock work… Oh the joys of being a girl

I’m not really sure about them. They are sooo comfy and I think wearing them would be like wearing slippers - which would be GREAT! But… though I’m in love (or at least a solid “like” ) with the UGG Knightsbridge, I’m wondering if I’m too old for them. Are they just for the younger 20 somethings? I see a lot of young kids wearing them… Hmmm… I want to be stylish but I don’t want to look like I’m trying to look young - because I’m not

I like the idea of personalized gifts for kids. You know, like blankets with their names or those cute teddy bears with names on the dress… so cute for the little ones on the list . As for the big kids on the list… I tend to just ask them what they want or give them money I really liked getting money as a kid and I’ve never ever heard a kid complain when they open a card to find money inside

There are things that happen in life that I just don’t understand. Things that make me wonder how there possibly be a God. I mean, child pornography, rape, child abuse are awful things. Then there are the things that just happen for whatever reason - some call it God’s Will. Like the very fact that there are cerebral palsy lawyers is scary. That means that there are enough babies being born early or through some error that has brought about this condition. Why? Why do that to a child and why do that to her/his parents? Why would God need to have this child be so tested throughout her/his life? I just don’t understand it. And yes, for the record, I know that I’m not always supposed to understand or even to question “why?” but it’s tough not to.
