Here Be Dragons

2009-02-27

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. My Gold membership is coming up for renewal and I’m of two minds about it at this point, but I probably will renew. I like having the choice.

The holidays went well and now I’m starting to concentrate on Fred’s and my wedding. I’ve rented an outdoor pavilion, I’ve hired a great band and I think I’ve found a caterer and a bartender. I’m happy with how my casual wedding is going so far. I’ve also found a JP who seems to have a very nice and very short ceremony, which suits me just fine.

In January I joined a gym and finally got serious about losing weight so I’m not a cow of a bride. I’ve lost ten pounds and hope to God I can keep going in the downward direction. Although this morning I quit this murderous aerobic group session 30 minutes into the hour but if I’d stayed any longer I think they would have found out what the defibrillation paddles are for. I’ll try it again but WOWZER was that hard!

I’ve been lifting weights which is something you can sneak up on by gradually adding weights unlike the energizer bunny aerobics people. I can feel that I’m stronger and I am very happy that I’m trying to do this the healthy way this time even though a ten pound loss still has me at 174 pounds so I still have work ahead of me.

With the economy in the shape it’s in we may have to postpone the honeymoon trip we’d planned out to Mt Rushmore and then over to Yellowstone but I don’t mind. If that’s the worst thing that happens to me in an economy this bad then I’m still the luckiest person around.

I have my health. I’m in love. I have someone I absolutely trust and my family is doing well. My youngest attains her Masters degree this June. My oldest is also taking night classes and everyone is in great health. I’m blessed.

The wine & cheese store I want to open is going very slow with the attorney but since I don’t want to open until June I’m good with that too.

Today is warm but very windy so I’m hunkering down with a quilt and watching What Not to Wear. Life is good :)
