Preparing

Well, still no baby. Have not heard from her today. I am not ready as I have 3 more things to do. One is my hair. Need color, cut and then the tanning bed. A pedicure tomorrow and I will be almost ready. Now with my luck, she will be late and I will have to start the process all over again. I have done the maps. not to sure exactly where we are suppose to go, but have a map. Now my co pilot is my best friend so this ought to be funny. She won't drive on the highway. Went to C today. I really do hate exercising. I don't feel any better either. Lord knows I have not lost any weight. I do love to eat. Also a good cook. That's 2 strikes against me. Have several really good recipes that I am going to make when I am down at my niece's house. She'll enjoy them later after we leave.
Well better look busy

Waiting

My niece is pregnant. I mean really pregnant. Her due date is August 29. I am just in the holding pattern for the trip to her when she goes in to labor. My suitcase is almost packed (not enough clothes to pack ahead) and have told my girlfriend she has 1 hour to get to my house to leave. Of course my husband does not understand the reasoning behind my going. My Sister died 17 years ago and this is really important to me to be there for her. Now don't get me wrong. I know I can not take her place, but know that Mary would be there for my Ryann if the roles were reversed. Chuck (husband) asked me what I was going to do there. No problem, the answer was hold that baby and cook. Oh yeah. Food is a necessity. I want to make a bunch of meals to freeze so that is one thing she does not have to worry about.What's really great is she is easy to please. One of her favorites is hamburger helper. Not hard to outdo that! My girlfriend and I have made many road trips, but none as important as this. She is going to be my copolit as she can not drive on highways, over bridges or fast. I can do all of theese and she can read me the directions. We will have some tales to tell after this.Well time to look busy.

Weekend!

OK, I have made it through another week. Have a crazy dilemma. Went to Curves yesterday and accidentally left my good sandals. Now, I don't want to go today (lazy) but need to pick up my shoes. How bad will it look for me to just run in and get them and not exercise? I ran out and left them. Always glad to finish up and leave. I guess I can't allow myself to change shoes there. Or have to not be in such a hurry to leave. Had a good reason, lunch!
My diet went really well yesterday until I got home and made a new recipe for German Chocolate Cake - Upside Down. It was time consuming, but good. The only problem was getting it out of the pan. Thought I was going to have to use a garden hoe. The bottom layer was made up of coconut, pecans, with a mixture of butter, cream cheese and 1 pound of confectionery's sugar. Yum yum! But was a mess to clean that pan. Will have to rethink this one before I try it again. One good thing. Brought most of the cake to my coworkers. Thank God for them. Less for me to eat.
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Day 2

OK, still not to sure about this. Have to admit I do feel better about writing. No pick ups, so I can say anything I want to. Is a slow day today. I hope to get a lot of personal things done. funny huh? Have started my diet, again. Not going to C today. Need to go out and Look at a couch. Saw one I like, but not sure of it will make it through the door of the room. That would be my luck. Have a futon in there now and in order for someone to be comfortable I purchased a really thick mattress. So thick that you can't put the thing in the couch position. Oh yeah you can with bungee cords holding it, but not a good look.

First Blog

This is so funny. I am sitting at my desk (not working) eating cake and writing on a blog that is titled, becauseiamfat! Not really sure why I have done this, but seemed like a good idea at the time. My friend and I were shopping last weekend and everything we could not fit in to or did not come in our size we made the comment "Because I'm fat!.". You have to have some really good friends to say that to and laugh. It's not that we don't try. My gracious, I go to curves (giving that a bad name now) and also belong to Weight Watchers. Not very good at either. Absolutely despise Curves, but realize it is good for me, and WW is hard to follow when you are a good cook ad love to eat. Maybe I will do better in the future. I know my family would b happy. I am not HUGE, just fat. Getting out of breath was my first reason to go to C. That has helped. Just got a call from my husband. He and I both are watching the weather. It is so hot. Up to 99.3 at the moment. Well, I better at least look busy. More later!
