week 13, off to a slow start, (still managed to get 2 days in so far, and plan on going tomorrow morning and saturday morning) but that's because school has ended! YAY! and you have left for the summer. BOO! yes, there will be more visits than last, and skyping and phone calls, but we can both agree that it's just not the same. So my mom bought me some soft batch cookies (despite the gym thing) but if you don't ever allow yourself the "bad" things you'll just end up craving them even more, and yes I like my chocolate, but I am very proud of myself for continuing to eat the way I do, stock up my frig with fresh fruits and veggies and look forward to eating healthy foods. I get sort of a high when packing my lunch for work and seeing how many fruits and veggies are in there and hardly any processed foods. :) go me. :)
Anyways...the soft batch cookies were to cheer me up with you leaving yesterday and for Sittoo's birthday today. Sittoo: grandmother in arabic. 100% Lebanese. Taken too soon, just like the rest of the others....It's your birthday today, you would have been 82 years old...It's so hard to believe that August will be 7 years since you passed on. 7 years...I was 21 turning 22, and I am already 28 turning 29...and I miss you just as much as the first day you were no longer here with us. I love you.
So today is sort of a sad blah day, the rainy weather doesn't help it either....but I'm off to a friends house to hang out and drink my Big Pink House wine. The bottle looked cute, so I bought it a few weeks ago at the NH state liquor store...and I will add it to my collection of wine bottles for our house one day.
not much else to say except I'm missing a few people today...
here's to the summer, another one without you, but it's minor in the big scheme of things, right? right!
here's to budgeting, saving as much as I can this summer, getting all caught up with both of my scrapbooks, finishing reading The Pact, continue my blogging, kicking my but in the gym 4 times a week, and maybe even starting/continuing writing my book....
what are your summer goals?
