OH THE PRESSURE

Oh my goodness! The pressure to keep the blog updated! I'm just not as creative as some of the bloggers I know!

I'm thoroughly enjoying my day to day life, more than I can ever remember. It just seems silly to write about it but I will give you a quick update.

I'm making a concerted effort to live a more healthy life. I start everyday with a three mile walk and fit in weights and pilates at least three times a week. Mark and I are eating more whole foods and very little of anything processed. We've cut out most sugar and have learned to love dark chocolate! I've been taking fish oil and other vitamins. I haven't had a soda since the end of July and off all medications. I don't think I've lost much weight but my clothes are fitting a little better and I feel great! I hope that eventually the new habits will result in weight loss.

The weather has been beautiful so I've spent a lot of time outside, reading. I finished a few really good books and have four more that I can't wait to get to.

Jeffery and Kristin are doing great. Jeffery is back in the swing of things now that school is back in session and still plays golf everyday. Kristin is taking a full load and doing great at State. She came over on Tuesday just to have dinner with me and watch a movie.

Aunt Rose from Tennessee was here. She and her friend Fran stayed at my house and everyone gathered here for dinner in the evenings. We saw all the sights Ruidoso, Cloudcroft, White Sands and Holloman. Lily and Mel took them to Las Cruces and Albuquerque for the Balloon Festival. It was a fun week!

I'm picking up Patty/Betty tomorrow at the airport. She's surprising everyone. I'm the only one that knows she's coming in. We'll meet Kristin for lunch and the mall in El Paso.

Jeffery just asked if we could watch a movie together. WOW! Got to go!

OH! Mark and I are going to Hawaii at the end of the month. (Wish I could take Dave and Jenn for Dave's 40th birthday but.....)

Just want you to know that I'm alive and doing very well!
