less chips, more fruit!....

Just in case there are those of you who don't already know this. I need to lose a few pounds...ok..maybe a little more than a few. According to my Dr. about 40 should do it..lol..and I always mean to be good, really I do! My intentions are wonderful...until about 4pm...then I get this uncontrollable urge to sit on my butt and eat potato chips!! Of course, this does tend to make the aforementioned butt even larger...more stable I prefer to think of it...what do skinny people have to sit on???? Must be painful!!!!
Anyway, I had my yearly checkup a couple weeks ago...I explained why instead of losing 40 pounds i had gained 5..I earnestly explained about the chips....then I smiled figuring she would just smile back and tell me to try a little harder...instead, she said...forcefully...less chips, more fruit!! Yikes!

A little happier news...school starts next week!!! Can a get a "YooooooooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Lol..Alec, of course, is not nearly as happy about this as I am. We had 7th grad orientation the other day. You know the drill..met the teachers, got his class schedule and his locker...practiced opening the locker! He does have 3 classes with his best friend Colton this year and that makes him a little happier. The only real argument we are having is about his hair. For years now he has kept his hair really really short. His idea and I was perfectly happy with it. Now for some unknown reason , he has decided he wants to wear it long. Heaven help us! I prefer his hair short, mainly because he doesnt like to comb it....and he doesnt comb it unless i sit on him with a brush...*bet he starts chanting less chips, more fruit!* Oh well..the teenage years are approaching...beginning in September...guess I'll have to get used to never being right again.

Other than that, there isnt anything new going on. And if there had been, I would have forgotten it. I've been meaning to call the dentist office more about 2 or 3 weeks now to give them my new insurance information.Also been meaning to make dentist and dr. appt for Alec so he can play sports this year(he wants to run track)..and theres something else I'm supposed to do..but...you got it..i cant remember! And before you laugh Susan,,,remember you have the same DNA and it will someday happen to you!!

Well, thats all from Michigan tonite..

So, Here Goes

So, here goes.

Ever since my daughter started her blog,I've been anxiously awaiting each post. Not only to catch up on whats going on with her and her family but because she's pretty funny!! lol Then, I got to thinking, maybe I could try this too! It's certainly an excellent way to keep up with family without using up all the cell phone minutes! In fact , I promised to create one about 3 years ago....so I'm just a little late.

Since most everybody who ever even hears about this will be family or close friends, theres no need to introduce myself. We all already know everything, so I'll just start right in with what's going on at our house.

Nothing.

Well I guess that isn't entirely accurate. Alec just got back Saturday from a 6 week visit to Susans house.Man, I was glad to see him! It was entirely too quiet with him gone. I also had to take care of his dog...his guinea pig(can you say stinky??)..his fish..well you get the picture. We,Cecil and I, redid his room while he was gone and I think he was impressed. I certainly was. Had no idea I was that good...lol

I also got to visit with Susan,Fai and the girls for awhile when we went to get him. Those little girls are adorable!! I got some cute pictures too which I will post here,if I can figure out how to.Theres a really good one of thier little family thats about good enough to frame, except for the big semi behind them. Too bad I cant take that out of the picture and put them on a beach...wait! I can do that..lol...did you like that...a little segue into playing with graphics that I like to do...lol

Drinking and driving

vacation at the gas station

Well , thats really about all for right now. I just wanted to see if I could do this.

Later....
