Letting That One Go

Today is my very first day that I am not on my diet pills, that my dr put me on. I'm very nervous about it. I have been taking since July & have lost over 50 pounds, but it wasn't only because I relied solely on those pills, but because I chose to change my eating habits. I do not over eat any longer. It eat until satisfied, not until the plate is clean. And no seconds. It has made a great difference, this time around. I didn't let the pills do all the work. I do think my body had gotten used to them, but the security of having that pill is scary. I really don't want to gain this weight back.

Wanna Go Somewhere

I was thinking the other day about the many places I want to travel too. I would pretty much go anywhere, but here is a list of "Must See" places.

1. Jamestown, NY (the birthplace of Lucille Ball)
2. Great Britain
   
3. Savannah, GA
4. Europe
   
5. New York
6. Maine
7. New England
8. Canada

There's a top 8. I was looking at some travel deals, ya know...Dreaming up some adventures & found that I could book some round trip tickets starting as low as $169! I had no idea that I could get something that cheap for overseas travel. I may just have to talk to Daniel about us saving our money for a trip. It could be our Christmas present for next year.

Put A TV On It

Right now our TV in the living room is on top of our old wooden dining table. I don't think it looks bad. But I would much rather have a nice TV stand to house the TV, other equipment, as well as DVD's & video games. We actually used to have one, but it wasn't good quality & after the many moves & me rearranging the furniture, it finally met it's maker. Well, not completely, it met the guest room, where it now houses the little TV & a bunch of Daniel's junk. There are not many TV stands out there that I really like, because I want something that keeps everything hidden away from looking all cluttered.

Bbbrrrrrrr.....

It has been soooooo cold here lately....And I love it! Winter in Alabama is never really Winter. It can get cold for a few days, but the temperatures very from day to day. But for it to stay around & below freezing for over a week, is just not normal. And it has been lovely too me, but I know most people are complaining. I really think I was born in the wrong part of the country. Haha!

Fruit Trees

I think fruit barring trees are just amazing to watch as the they come to life in the Spring. From the leaves, to the tiny buds, blossoms & then the fruit producing.
We have a peach tree in our yard, but none of the peaches have been good enough to eat. When I was a kid, my Aunt had several Plum trees & Apple trees in her yard. I can remember waiting anxiously for the fruit to be ripe so we could pick it & eat it. One good thing about Plums is that they are just as good green! Oh yummy! I wish I had some right now.

NC Trippin'

I have friends & family that live in North Carolina & I would love to go visit them. I have been through NC a few times & it has always left an impression with it's beauty in my mind. If I were to go for a visit, I would probably need a month to do everything I would want too. Since I was a little girl, going to the Biltmore has been a dream. So that would be a must! I also would enjoying going to the Outer Banks. I have heard & seen things about the beautiful place on the coast. But of course being able to spend time with those I love would be the main reason for such a trip.

2009

We rang in the new year with Mom, playing games, while New Years Rockin' Eve was on TV in the background. It was a fun little party.

2009 has been laid back so far. I like a nice easy beginning to a new year.

I took down all the Christmas stuff this weekend. It took me 2 whole days! But I am not one to just throw it all into boxes. I lovingly wrap each piece & ornament. It's all labeled & organized. So no wonder it takes a good while to get it all packed up.
