eGads, I forgot to water the outside plants today. One of our sprinklers does not go on w/the timer each night, so I have to water manually. Not bad on most days, but today has been busy. I like my time outside; I feel healthier when I get time outside each day. Perhaps we should include time outside in the Medicare part D
plan as I am firm believer of natural remedies. Ah well, better get my butt in gear and water those plants outside; dont want the bees to leave our garden!

We went fishing again last night. I LOVE fishing! The only thing is that I cannot seem to catch anything. Which is rather a bummer to say the least. We have the gear, the lakes and mountains, and the time, but perhaps we need some help with an Online School as I cant seem to figure out why we cant catch somethin’ !

All right, my son did catch something - it was about the size of a large Sardine! but that’s better than nothing I guess . . . .

OMG I am so grumpy today and its only 8 AM ! I am tired of being tired, tired of being grumpy and tired of everything else. This is depressing. I cant seem to bring myself out of this hole I am in.
Was talking to my Boss yesterday about motivation and he was saying that he read somewhere, that life is not about excuses. We can have excuses for everything and then we end up not doing anything in life. I wonder if there are any Forex training seminars regarding excuses. I really need to get off my butt and just Do It!! Do what you ask? Stuff. Quit putting things off…such as when I brushed my teeth this morning, I noticed the sink stank. Its not dirty, but I guess the Pipes are. So, stuff like that. No fun stuff, just icky stuff and I keep using lame excuses to put it off for another day. Mostly, cuz the stuff I have to do is not fun and I am tired of doing not fun stuff!
OMG I am going in circles here! Perhaps another cup of coffee this morning will help mix my brain . . .
Today I am happy the new week has started. Time to get back on track and get over whatever it was that I needed to get over last week. It was a hard week last week and this week is looking better already.
I am still working on getting the weight off however, I determined not to get on the scale for a least another two weeks. I have a friend that has tried the HCG diet Austin, but I really dont want to go there. So I am going slow, and hoping the pounds will shed without any drastic changes.
The reason I am not stepping on the scale is that everytime I do loose a pound of two, I just gain it right back cuz I feel so good that I lost weight I reward myself with food. Makes no sense, but it has taken me a while to figure this out for myself!
So no scale for me till end of August. I just hope this time, it works.
Just about had a mental break down yesterday. Amazing how lack of sleep will contribute to my loosing it.
I am going thru that phase again where I do everything all the time and then wonder why I am doing everything all the time! So yesterday I took a 2 hour nap from 5-7pm and then went to bed at 8pm.
Woke up this morning feeling better, and determined not to do everything all the time! I am going to do stuff for me and not everybody else. This is where my Co-Dependency is the worst. I do everything for everybody but me. Well every once in a while I loose it and have to start over again. Today is that day.
Good thing its Friday, that way I can work today, but tomorrow I can do what I want to do. Be is sit outside and sip diet coke all day, or watch TV, or make that WW Cheesecake I have putting off for two weeks.
I need to take care of myself and some days (most days) I forget.
Went fishing up American Fork Canyon last week. Drove all the way to Silver Lake. Its a dirt road for the last 3 miles and my bald tires almost didnt make it! However, it was worth the drive. That place is gorgous!

Of course we did not catch a single little fishy, but we had a great time. As soon as the sun went down tho, it got SO cold! It reminded me of October weather and that I would need to get out the Halloween costume soon and prepare for the snow, eek!

All in all tho, it was a great day and I really want to go back soon. The lake was sooo clean and fresh and clear. We even saw a Buck and Doe walk along the trees! Beautiful.
Hard to belive that it is the end of July already. School starts three weeks from Monday. I dont want to think about it.
However, when school starts I hope to be back on schedule and perhaps will be able to loose this summer-time flab I have accumulated in the past few months. I am not happy today. I have been eating whatever I want, so in that aspect I have been happy, but when I put my jeans on in the morning, I really have to squish into them. and if I wear ugg boots in the winter, I sure better look good.
So starting August 1st, I am going to try to loose a few pounds. Again. This time tho, I really need to do it. I am not healthy anymore. 20 lbs gotta go. *sigh*
OMG this week is dragging. I am so tired! I really need to get to bed earlier. It is very hard during the summer to get to sleep at a reasonable time. The kiddo is off school so he gets to sleep ‘ill 10am or later but I have to get up at 6am! So we both end up staying up way too late.
I guess I could drink the Amp below, but I really hate that stuff! The kiddo loves it so he bought 10 cans the other day. They were the cheapest I have ever seen them at Smiths, so I told him if he wanted them he could buy them using his own money. I guess he really wanted them so he bought them! I pretty much let him buy what he wants with his own money. He is such a tight-wad that I really dont have to worry. He saves saves saves money very good. I wish I could save like he does; but I am the one the needs to buy food, gas and what-not!
Below is a pic of the Amp, but Rosey got her butt in there and I think you can see Midnight our Gerbil. Our countertops hold more animals than food. uhg.
