I wanna go!!

EVERYWHERE!! One of my favorite movies in the world is 'Eat, Pray, Love' I just love so much she just did it! Just left and DID IT!! I just watched 'Outsourced' and now I want to go live in India for awhile. Last week we watched 'Hangover 2' and that had me daydreaming about Thailand for days. I visit workingcouples.com at LEAST once a week to look at the listings. I am here for a least another few years until Sean is older, but looking at all those postings for caretakers couples in Costa Rica.... Estate managers in the Bahamas... Ranch hands in Texas... All provide excellent daydream fodder! While falling asleep at night I think about Lonnie and I working at a small island resort, him working the landscaping and other 'man work' and me doing the housekeeping and keeping our guests happy ... I see us cooking meals together for the guests. Eating avocados and lemons and anything else we can grow, ripe and fresh off the tree! Dinner would be fresh harvested scallops or fish the we went out and speared after our afternoon siesta in the hammock.... Oh I have it all planned out... LOL!!!

I was visiting my brother the other day and he was talking about how it's important to him to "put roots down" I feel completely opposite! I want no roots! I want to see the world and DO... And TRY... And SEE!! Roots schmoots!!

ISO home for my 50 extra pounds

Image
Excuse time is over.  There is ALWAYS an excuse to not eat right and exercise and let's get real here, NONE of them hold water. I have gained 50 fucking pounds this year.  50.  Fucking. Pounds.  That's a lot.  Like... a way lot.  Cielo's food truck took a Mother's Day shot of Jessi and I the other day and I didn't even want to tag myself in it because I look HORRIBLE!!  It's amazing how sometimes I can look in the mirror and convince myself that I don't..... I went shopping over the weekend because none of my clothes fit and it sucked.  A lot.  Like.... a way lot. I need to look at this is in a different way.  I am not taking care of myself.  I am living in the moment doing whatever I want, whenever I want.  It still feels like a party when Lonnie and I are spending time with each other and party to me = YAHOOOO eat whatever you want.  So I need to learn that happy does not equal party!   I have 5ks coming up.  I have clothes that I would lik

The small stuff

Image
The kids went off with Rick to the cottage on East Grand Lake that we all used to go to every year.  I am having "feelings."  Hate that shit.... lol!  I am happy with my life now and I wouldn't go back for a million dollars, but sometimes it's the small stuff I miss... like the week of preparing for camp and loading up the car until there wasn't one lick of space left.   Having in-laws to call and talk to and that call me to ask me stuff all the time too.   My air conditioned bedroom ;-) My old running route My sink and faucet.... damn they are the best sink and faucet ever Not having to go upstairs to go to the bathroom The awesome parties that we used to have and that have gone on now without me Anyway... you get the idea.  I mean obviously there is the "big stuff" too... like feeling bad that the kids have to live in two houses now and stuff... but it's really the little stuff that hits me now and then like a ton of bricks.  Or maybe

RLS and stuff

I had started another blog called "ON IT" to use as weight loss/exercise motivation and to not clog up my regular blog with all health and fitness crap.  But HELLO!??  Health and fitness crap is what interests me!  ....and this is MY BLOG!!!  So I am scrapping that other blog and just doing all that stuff here! RLS update.  After reading my blog about my restless legs , my mom talked to me about my Restless Legs Syndrome, and as a result, I decided to try the Gabapentin.  So I did.  Last week was a rough week, a busy week, and I was an emotional wreck.  For a few days I chalked it up to Lonnie's new job keeping him gone til late every night, and my officially starting my new position. Then it got worse.  And worse.  Until Friday night when I was literally a crying, hysterical, mess of anxiety and grief about... well... nothing and everything.  But really, nothing.   I still was blaming the new schedules as I went to bed, and just thinking that maybe I am just fucki
