Present and Accounted for

Wow, can't believe how long it has been since I've checked in here. So, what's happened? 60 pounds lost, loving the working out, still working at the good ole' J.O.B. (there is a reason it's called work and not happy fun time), daughter graduated high school and has started college! Son started his first day of 8th grade today. Wow, time is ticking by faster than I care to admit to.

Have to say, my latest "thing" was giving up potato chips of ALL shapes and sizes. Gave them up for about 6 weeks, until this past week. This past week was my vacation (sta-cation to be more accurate). We had house guests for a week and I broke down and bought 2 bags of potato chips for a dinner of finger foods, sandwiches and Hors D'oeuvres. They sat in the house for 3 days without so much as me even thinking about opening them (this is not normal "me" behavior...there was something definately wrong with the "force"...) oh well, didn't give it much thought. D-day arrived and Aileen and I were prepping food for the meal pretty much all day. Got the chips out, ate some...something was DEFINATELY wrong with the force. I remembered them being FAR more delicious then what I was presently eating. Very disappointing.

Long and boring story short. I really don't like chips any more. How is that possible? What's that old saying? "Ours is not to wonder why..."

Today being my last day of vacation and the prospect of returning to "work" tomorrow leaves me less than thrilled, I think I will make a big glass of water and toast myself! Another seemingly insurmountable hurdle from the past leapt with great ease and grace. Yay me!
