What's up...

What's up? Not too much. Busy weekend...long weekend...stressful weekend...long story... All is well here with my family this week. Much less stress here at our house but Derrel's mom's house is a whole different story. Jonathan is still grounded to his room but over all things are well here. He is such a fine young man when he is grounded. I don't get it. I'm thinking we should ground him through high school. What do you think? LOL I'm thinking it might be the only way we survive. :)

I've had two people tell me the past two days I've lost enough weight and I'm getting too skinny. Jeez I'm thinking there just not used to seeing me thin. But I'm kind of tired of hearing that all the same. No one ever told me when I was getting to fat. I saw a old friend at the farmers market last Saturday. I used to lift weights with him and his friends and mine. We all used to lift at the same time so we would all pushed each other. I was the big girl lifting a lot of weight. He came up to me and complimented me and couldn't believe how much weight I've lost. And these words came out of MY MOUTH..."I do look good huh". He agreed, but the big deal to me was the words I heard come out of my mouth. I LOOK GOOD...I've never said that before, not in my whole life, not once. Strange...but good strange.

I went back to the pool today. Yup- it felt great. I can sure tell I've done physical therapy because I do have a lot more range of motion then even 2 months ago. I'm back to swimming 3 days a week now and very happy I went today. I do love the water. When I leave I really feel like I just did something for me. I just took care of myself and it feels great. Not always easy getting out of bed and going in early but when I do go I feel good about myself and what I just did.

After swimming we went to the city for tractor parts for our Kubota tractor. On the way home we stopped at TJ Maxx. It's new to Corvallis. I spotted it a few months ago and wanted to go check it out. Why didn't anyone tell me about what a cool store this is? I need to know these things. LOL What a fun store. I had no trouble dropping money. I tried on pants. They were in size 29 and 30. Not knowing what size I wear when there sized like that I tried on the 29's and the 3o's (normally sized 4, 6, 8 and so on). Too big. I bought a pair of 26 which were in the size 4 rack and they fit pretty good. Wow za Still amazing to this day to me how I could fit into these clothes. I now have trouble finding clothes small enough. That's ass backwards...Anyway I came out of there with 3 really cool shirts and a pair of jeans and I WILL go back to that store. Very cool clothes and great clearance racks. I will take a full length shot of me soon for you all with my new clothes.
I took two silly pictures of me and Chihuahua Rufus on the road today. Just showing him off!
