Thoughts of a Dieter
So many posts in so few days. I know, I know...contain yourself. I'm sitting at my desk eating grilled chicken - the same thing I've eaten for the last 2 months. For lunch. And for dinner.
For those that don't know I'm in my best friends wedding in 2 wks. That means there's a bridesmaid dress for me to fit into. My own personal hell. Standing next to people of various sizes, but ALL smaller than me, in the same dress. Kill me now.
I will say though that this wedding is especially sweet to me. Katherine is the exact opposite of me - graceful, intelligent, kind, never self serving, and just downright precious. Let me sum it up this way - one of my nieces is named after her. Make no mistake, not one niece is named after me but dear Katherine has herself a namesake. Plus, she'll be marrying Gene who I absolutely love. And who hopefully is ok with sleeping on the couch when I come to visit.
Ok, I got sidetracked...back to eating grilled chicken. Today, June 21, 2010 am now officially tired of it. I feel like I'm going to start clucking at any minute. And I miss Coke. And for those that have always dogged me thru the years about my love for Coke, let me fill you in - NO, I didn't lose weight when all I did was stop drinking it and NO, my complexion didn't get any better. 2 months of drinking 3 liters of water a day and I still get pimples. Yes, even at the age of 34.
I've lost 1/3 of what I need to be at my ideal weight. I have no idea however how I will stay on course when I get back from the wedding and no longer have the threat of a too-small-to-fit bridesmaid dress. A couple weeks ago I thought I had lost enough for now and would just coast thru til the wedding. Then I gained 6 lbs in 5 days. Apparently I'm not a coaster...I'm a gainer or a loser. You know, I just got a fantastic idea...for my next goal I'll just buy a size-too-small wedding dress and plan to fit in it since I AMMMMM getting married sometime this year. Whew...problem solved.
Now back to my chicken. cluck, cluck.

Intruders Beware!
We had all just finished swimming...please keep this in mind when you see us...Anyway, Woody wanted to have Hosanna do some target shooting. Yes, we have a shooting range in our backyard now. Leave it to Woody to come up with all kinds of contraptions. H was a complete natural and in her 2nd shot was already in the lead. A naturaly athelete, some might say.

Rock Stars!
This video is proof that God enjoys our Happy Thursday videos. Please notice the light that is being shown down on my head. Also, please put all dogs in another room when playing this video. Because if you don't at 3:47 into this video they WILL be howling.

Oldie but a Goodie!
Hosanna went out of town and her flight was delayed by 2 days. Yes, 2 days. Only H knows how to tack on extra vacation days like that. She's a genius, that one. We weren't able to do a new vlog so here's a favorite old one.

Captivated
I was watching a TV show and at the end of the episode they had this romantic dinner set up for this couple and the music in the background was "I am...I'm captivated by you". My romanticism kicked in and I looked up the song.
The artist is Shawn McDonald who I had never heard of...This isn't too surprising since my music knowlege is limited (to say the least). He's actually a Christian artist and this song is written to My Savior. My compulsiveness kicked in and I bought a couple of his albums on the spot. And I have loved them! Enjoy this love song to our Creator.
