its been monday in a good way

So, it's been monday and today has been a big blur. i could write pages of stuff that you probably don't care about.. so i will just hit the highlights.......

working out. i don't hate it but, i don't dream of it. But, i know its healthy. and here is the real deal.. so i was talking with dwan about having babies. and i started doing research and realized how important it was to be in some sort of shape before having a baby. well, i am not close to being in shape.. so, i am lucky cause i live in bailey, colorado. there is umm ZERO fast food restaurants here. well, there is subway. but that's healthy. anyhow, Littleton (Denver) is the closest to fast food. So, naturally i am eating more healthy since moving here. so why not work out. so i am swimming 45 minutes ** 3 days a week. I am going to try to be dedicated till I go to arkansas memorial day. so we will see. the reason i wrote about it here is so i feel obligated. oh the mind games i am playing with myself.

old friends. so, today my mama rita emailed me and caught me up old people from high school. some have blogs.. some are just having bad luck in life right now and i thought man, i am really lucky. anyhow, it was just neat to read about and hear about what people are doing. honestly. most of they are having babies. i want to post their babies pics on here just to brag.. i should ask them first hummm.......

cool single mom. so my friend lisa is a single mom. a really good single mom. her daughter is dating my brother. but, our connection goes way before my brother came into the picture. anyways, lisa and i have this thing where we can call or email and say is it 5 o'clock. which means life is rough today. anyhow, she has raised a good daughter and made a good life for themselves. i admire people who raise kids by themselves. i am not sure if i would be that strong. anyhow, as a single mom i feel like people 2nd guess your decisions more so than people who have a 2 parent home. maybe not. that's just an observation.

so i cooked dinner tonight. i made this yummy fish platter and a whole spread of food. like i seriously started cooking the dinner at 2 and we ate at 5. i mean i had chocolate cover strawberries, salad, potatoes, cake, cornbread. yeah, anyway, i like cooking i just am amazed how i can spend 3 hours cooking.

so i cleaned my room last thursday, right? well, sarah is coming to town on friday and i want to have it clean again! so i worked on that tonight. i also realized that i have a shopping problem. tomorrow i am calling 2nd hand stores. and see if i can resale some clothes. i mean its really sad. seriously. maybe i need therapy.

today, i learned one of my friends, dad is really sick with cancer. and it made me angry. cause cancer is evil. and this guys dad is young.

so, i not big on bible quoting. Okay, in this blog i have never done it but while swimming today this came to mind.

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. (from Philippians 4)

i am trying to learn this being content thing. no matter what.

so i also decided that in every blog i am going to tell you one thing i am grateful for.. cause i don't want to be a gripping negative old lady. I am grateful for my dad. i am also grateful for blogs. good releases.


alrighty, i bored u long enough. thanks for listening.
