Happy New Year! (long post)

January 1, 2001

Morning all! Are we ready for the new year? I have my 1st liter of water

here with me, the eggs are boiled and I'll head for the treadmill in a bit.

I am so ready to be rid of the last 8 lbs! I just hope day 3 & 4 aren't as

rough as they were 14 months ago. (I have cheated, but nowhere near as bad

as I was then!!) Now to get these muscles toned up.....especially the old

flabby abs! (scrunches are easier now than 42 lbs ago, easier!!) I'm not

convinced!

I was surprised this morning to see a dusting of snow on the ground, but

most of it is going away pretty quickly. There should be something illegal

about listening to Jimmy Buffett while the snow is falling, but I WANT SAND

BETWEEN MY TOES!!!! Depending on what the tax man wants I may head to the

sunshine state in Feb or March.........80 degrees sounds like heaven. Hey,

that could be a target date!

Norma, you asked how I survived the holidays.....with a two yr old nephew

around, there's not much time to mope about and feel sorry for yourself. I

went to the mall (huge thing it is!) on the 23rd for some people-watching

and that put a lot of perspective on the whole thing. There were so many

people there that were so miserable, they looked like they had sold their

souls. I was actually blessed with my situation, I look at it as being set

free to find myself, and dog-gone it she's pretty cool! I'm not looking for

" dates " or anything like it, unlike some of my recently divorced co-workers.

(one has already moved one in with her, the other one is already seriously

involved with a much younger one......) I figure suitors show up eventually,

attracted by my sparkling personality of course! (The weight loss and

fitness would help too!) And if they don't I really don't " need " to have

someone else to make me happy. (I have gone out with a couple of men,

completely different class than I have associated with in the past, and I

liked it!)

Sorry to have rattled on for so long, I get started and can't stop!!

Hugs to all!
