I was going to share my WW weekly summary chart with y’all, but i can’t get it to format right… bummer…

Well, in short… I ended last week with 28.8 “flex points” .. which means I hit my point range pretty closely every day… And it payed off.. I lost weight..

This week has been tough, but I’m doing Ok .. I’ve been in the Chicago area since Sunday night for a project management class .. Traveling and eating well are very hard to do together sometimes..

I was going to post about this last weekend, but I wanted to see how the week went, so I could have the right perspective when posting.

Dirt and I joined weight watchers last Saturday. We’ve been kinda creeping up in pounds lately and needed to do something. I’ve done well on WW in the past. Lost close to 15 lbs over the course of 4 months (i think). The program is pretty easy … they keep it simple so that its easy to follow. And I have to say, I’ve suprised myself this week.

I just had the absolute best orgasm of my entire life. I kid you not, this was, by far, the longest, sweetest, roughest, most intense orgasm I’ve ever experienced.

…and to think, 2 hours ago, I wasn’t even in the mood…

I was all stressed out because I worked until almost 11:00 tonight, so I wasn’t in the mood for any hanky panky…BUT, we were watching the HBO documentary/series: Real Sex.. and one of the segments struck my fancy .. so the next thing I know, I was asking Nick to strike my fancy …

So, its late.. very late.. and I have to be to work early.. very early tomorrow morning… and that’s just fabulous! Sometimes I forget to stop acting like such an “adult”…sometimes its good to give in and let pheromones and hormones and whaever-other-mones take over…

Whatever the case.. i was long overdue for some carefree..

So if you see me grinnin tomorrow, now you know what its all about

Welcome to the world of technology!

I’m writing this entry using my iPAQ…It can be a bit challenging at times, but i’m trying to get used to it.

See, my franklin planner was stolen out of my jeep along with my laptop recently…so i decided to give technology another shot.

Don’t get too excited though, I’m only going through my wireless LAN for inet connectivity….I’m hoping a little birdie will buy me a Tmobile or verizon card someday … then i can post from anywhere!

One last thing…the OS really seems to pick up my keystrokes as it claims to….neeto!

That last post was supposed to have more topics, but I felt it deserved its own title, its own distinction .. and therefore, we have post #2 for this evening … I bring you … THE MIND DUMP …

My mother’s computer desk/comfort situation just plain sucks!

This vacation has been awesome and I really don’t want it to end ..

My sister’s boyfriend is really pretty cool .. but he’s incredibly irritating when it comes to mealtime .. or pretty much anything else that requires movement… He’s a cool dood, but damn, “move it along a bit son, we ain’t got all year”

Life is just dandy at the moment

If it weren’t for my horse, I would never have gone to college
(sorry, had to throw that one in there .. hopefully someone gets it)

I wish I could have been a bit older in the 70′s so that I could really have experienced their music. Some of the best rock n roll came from the 70′s .. damn .. that’s some awesome shit!

I just found out that a whole lotta my favorite music is by THE WHO .. how awesome! All of those awesome songs wrapped up in a convenient 2 CD set?? How sweet is that?

If I lived here all the time, would I really take my dogs out as much as I do when I’m on vacation? Would I go hiking every couple of days? Would I allow myself NOT to fence in my yard to force me to go outside with my pups all the time? hmmmm…. I’d like to think so .. I can be optimistic, right?

Gidget.

My dogs are pretty fuckin awesome. I have so much fun with them! Today we hiked in the woods for 2 hours. My poor old girl dog could hardly get out of the jeep when we got home she was so stiff Oh .. but she’s a sweetheart. My parents are in love with my pups too .. Even my mom — the non-dogger — has been won over by the adorable Shania-head. Chilli has my dad, as you might expect. They’re very loveable – those 2 muttheads ..

mmm.. problem .. being this stoned at my mom’s house is killer when you have the munchies.. how can i sneak out to get some junk food????

enjoy the rest of your vacation .. I’m going to go enjoy the rest of mine!

See ya on the flip side ..

So, a strange thing happened to me the other night while I was taking a shower in the throws of a great high. A quick flashback of a memory from the painful past department hit me with vigor and I found it oddly comforting. How could this be?? An experience from a time of my life that caused so much pain that I sometimes STILL have nightmairs – that’s what this memory was. But why was if comforting? This is what I’ve been asking myself. Do I now realize that if it WASN’T for those experiences that I might not be where I am now? Is it comforting simply because it is the past? Could it be that I’ve reached a point in healing where I can look back and respect the situation? Can I now begin to evaluate the environment and allow myself some credit? Might it be fear (I’m comforted by the memory because I’ve adjusted my life to this fear I carry; this fear keeps me “in check”)?

This is an answer that I need to find. How could I have felt so comfortable thinking about a situation that has made me so uncomofortable for all of these years? Should I be allowed this comfort? or am I giving up and “loosing my sharpness” of the situation?

And the kicker? The memory’s soundtrack is Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Gotta love the irony.
