Thanks for being in my corner

I'm not going to post a lot tonight. I just finished working out and I'm tired. I promised myself I'd try to write here nearly every day. Don't get your hopes up. I promised myself I'd hit my goal by now and well...you know.

This is the first week of my blog and I just wanted to thank those who have stopped by here and taken the time to read and comment (and especially those who have clicked on the ads because I am 22 cents richer now). Your words, advice and experiences help me. A lot. So, again, thank you.

Many of you e-mailed me privately and had some very kind things to say, also. Taking the time to do that really made my week.

I had a good weekend with eating and exercise. Not great, but passing. I worked out for 30 minutes yesterday and 40 today, although today was really difficult. I'm not sure why, just wasn't feeling that great I guess. Low energy all the way around today.

I'll give you an idea of what the new week will bring and some of the things I'll be writing about here in the upcoming days:

I'm baking 100 jumbo cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting for my daughter's Sweet 16 birthday party invitations to be distributed on the first day of school. Yes, edible invitations. My daughter seems to have a lot of parties and with each one comes the "need" do outdo the previous invitations. Very Martha Stewart on amphetimines of us. At this rate, her high school graduation invitations will have to involve skywriters. Some of her friends are coming to help with the cupcakes. I'm not sure how I will survive this without consuming tens of thousands of calories but I'll be sure to let you know.

There is a lot of administrative work to be done at the clinic this week in preparation for the open house so I think I might feel a little stress from that, trying to make myself useful.

My boyfriend and I are going through some...stuff. Let's just say if I were a relationship status, I'd be "Its' complicated", today. So far I haven't done a nose dive into a bacon triple cheeseburger but there is a lot of broken pottery around here. Thank goodness I make mosaics out of broken tile and glass. Now I guess you know how I got into that in the first place.

As always, Chris and Steve will be doing their best to whip my butt into shape which should be good for some colorful tales. Mostly black and blue.

Best to all of you. Thanks for giving your time and thought here. Peace.
