10:37am

       It’s Thursday.  I got up at 6, made coffee, and dreaded the day. I tried to get Brian up at about 6:45, but he wouldn’t get out of bed, so I just crawled back in the bed with him, and we slept til 7:20.

       I got up, and I really, REALLY didn’t want to go to work today, and said I was staying home, that I just couldn’t do it today. I took a sleeping pill last night, and I was just groggy.

       At about 7:30, I changed my mind, and got up and got dressed, and we were out the door by 7:50, only running 5 minutes late for work.

       I called Granny on the way to work, and told her about Hancock’s blowout sale today. As you know, I’ve been planning on going to Hancock’s on Thursday, for a week now, and just yesterday, Brian came in and handed me the mail, and there was a flyer offering 70% off, starting today. God is so GOOD to me! I thank HIM for these blessings J

       Granny told me not to buy any fabric just because it’s on sale, but I figure they’re clearing out the old, for the new, so I need to get it while it’s still here.

       Mama made coffee, and Uncle Jay came in. We all visited for a while, talking about internet, and family, regular stuff, and then, because I asked, Uncle Jay adjusted my computer, so that it will run better. I’m so glad he’s my uncle!

       I started making my todo list, and figuring out how much fabric I’m going to need to make all these quilts by Christmas, showing Mama my patterns and things.

       Brian was surfing on my tablet, and is now surfing in his office, checking out everything news in the sports world.

       I started getting hungry, and thought about cereal, but saw the peach pie Mama just made yesterday, and decided to have it. Total 400 calories, plus milk (150)  coffee (200)= 750 before lunch.

       Mama’s made these I know are delicious enchiladas (500 for 1), and I’ll probably have that for lunch = 1250

       My jewelry came in, and me and Mama looked at it, and she loved my diamond and amethyst earrings, and thought about buying them from me, to go with her purple necklace that Daddy gave her, but she decided not to spend the money, and I was disappointed, cause someone in the family needs these earrings. But alas, I’m returning them.

       Daddy came in, and he starting looking at youtube videos on reloading bullets, cause he enjoys it, and can save a little money in the process. Duck season is coming up, and I don’t know anything about what all they shoot, but I’m sure he can use all this for hunting.

       He just joined a deer camp in Missouri, that him, Uncle Clyde, and my cousin Brian from Mississippi will all be hunting this season. Daddy’s never hunted big game, so this will definitely be an experience of a lifetime.

       Mama’s been cleaning out her cabinets, and found my platters that I bought in Florida, and is giving them back to me. She also found a blue glass vase, that I have had, that will be pretty on my table. I’ve even got some roses at home that I can cut and put in there.

       I started to go ahead and go to Hancock’s this morning, early, and to Kohl’s, but Daddy had just gotten here, so I decided I’d stay and visit with him and Mama and Brian for a little while.

       We’re all sitting here at our computers now, except for Mama, who is cooking sausage, eggs, and cheese biscuits for her, Brian and Daddy. I’m skipping out on it, cause I’ve already eaten my breakfast, and plan on having those enchiladas for lunch.

       I guess I’ll have lunch before I go to Hancock’s, cause I don’t want my sugar to mess up on me half-way through my shopping excursion, or get to starving, that wouldn’t be any fun. So I guess I’ll leave here around 12:30, and head to Monroe.

       I’m also picking up a Christmas present for Brian today, so I’m going to have to be sneaky about getting it in Mama and Daddy’s house, cause I’m not going to be able to hide it at home, he’ll find it, unless I can figure out somewhere to hide it from him. Best left at Mama and Daddy’s.

       The only problem with that is getting Brian to hide somewhere, while I bring it in the house. I’ll have to make him hide somewhere where he can’t see through the window, like in Daddy’s office, or my old room.

       The rest of my Target stuff came in today. I’m going to be SO GLAD to have the bathroom redone. I need to go look at my boxes, and see all my stuff, except for the etergie cause it’s going to take some putting together, and I don’t want to open that box til it’s time to put it up, AFTER the paint.

       I had 2200 calories yesterday, and I didn’t walk. I ate cereal & milk (350) coffee (200) chicken and dumplings (350) trail mix (300) canadian bacon pita (500) skinny cow (150), and popcorn (400).

       I ate a lot yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling good at all after that pita, for some reason, so I ate the ice cream, and then we rented a movie, so we had popcorn.

       We watched The Five Year Engagement, with Emily Blunt and Jason Segel. IT WAS SO GOOD! There were so many good parts in it! It had funny parts, and love parts, so much good stuff in it! I’m telling you, if I didn’t already believe in true love, I would after this movie. ….it is a MUST SEE!   

       It had been so long since me and Brian watched a movie. It was so nice just to sit down on the couch, put my arms around him, and eat popcorn together. I could smoke when I wanted to, he could dip, and we only spent $5.00, and had a private screening. It was so nice! I really enjoyed it much better than the theatre, and so did Brian he says, in some ways. Maybe we’ll just rent our movies from now on, I really liked it.

9:21 pm

       Another day of lots of calories. I had peach pie (300), coffee (300) enchilada (500) milk (150), before I went to Monroe. When I got back from Monroe, enchilada (500) apple (80) half slice of peach pie (150) trail mix (200) = 2180 for the day, and I walked off 80, so 2100 for the day.

       Not good. This is the second day like this. And tomorrow night we are going out to eat!

       I’ve got 3 days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, to get some weight off before Monday morning when I weigh. I’m going to have to do a self evaluation tonight, just me and God, and figure out why I’m eating so much, and why I’m not backing away from the table.
