January 14, 2010

Up about 7 am...weight back at 134 lbs. But, I cooked lots of vegetable soup last night so maybe I can drop a few pounds.

Yesterday was a crazy day....I was up during the night and wrote Mary Frances a long letter on the wedding and what I wanted to happen....basically put my foot into it...but she seems okay with what I did. Will probably cost me more money but I want her to have really good memories of her wedding and Jenny & Wendy are looking forward to being in a wedding. Neither one has been in very many.

Jim's sister arrived for a couple of hours yesterday also and I took her to shopping at our local SteinMart and then she had to go home. The DVD also arrived...I was able to copy it and made several before mailing both of the originals to Mary & Tushar.

We watched a really good movie....Departures....Japanese film that won the 2008 Academy Award for foreign film....has English subtitles....REALLY GOOD!

I had also spent an hour watching "Home"....not good...finally turned it off and exchanged it for the above at the local Blockbusters.

Then we watched the first show of the series Leverage....very good.

So....too much TV for one day and I was up until midnight getting my blog posted ... good thing I had already done the preparation....and getting Mary the updated address & email lists for them to work on this weekend.

Breakfast...9 am....hard boiled egg and 2 slices of bacon...coffee.

7:30 pm...talked to sister Mary twice today and Shirley once. Spent 3 hours with Barbara working on her new telephones programing numbers for her and setting it up. Saw her new bike..very heavy but a true classic. Has hand brake and foot break and all kinds of extras. But I can hardly lift it more than 6 inches off the ground. Not sure how she is going to put it on a rack on the back of her car.

Food...didn't eat any thing after breakfast until I got home about 2:30 in the afternoon...then ate too much. Soup...too watery...needed more vegetables...Mary is to send me her recipe...bread with honey, taco shell with cheese. I was cutting a cheese round and put the knife into the palm of my hand...it went all the way through the cheese and sliced the top layer of skin. Didn't bleed much so think it will be okay.

I also had jello and coolwhip and some nuts. So I probably won't have lost anything. But, I do have a date with Carolyn to go to the gym at 10 am tomorrow. I spent the evening getting the next two blogs ready on Ireland. Took lots of research as hard to remember everything. Thank goodness for the Internet. Had a nice note for several people and Mary called to say that she and Phil were enjoying the story of our trip. Good to know there are people enjoying the blog...makes the work worthwhile.
