News for this week

I’m trying to do this as a weekly update. I mean, I’m just too forgetful to do it much more often and I feel like such a slacker for not doing it more. Anywho…

I haven’t started weighing again yet. I’m trying to focus on eating regularly and then I will get back to weigh-ins and all. I want to do like a friend of mine did and take some “before” pics that I may or may not post on here…I may be too chicken for that. However, I do feel very well so that has to count for something.

Kay wasn’t sleeping so well last week but last night she didn’t wake and she’s taking two long naps today. I hope this will be a break in that cycle and a return to her normal pattern. I’m sure we’ll all be happier if that is the case. As a matter of fact, she woke just as I started this and is still happily playing with her various toys all on her own. I’m so very lucky that my daughter seems to have so much down without us having to do a thing to teach it to her. I’d like to think she inherited my powers…or former powers, of observation and has just absorbed all this from her parents’ habits but some how I think it’s all her. She’s just wonderful, silly, smart and beautiful. Hehe, oh I could just gobble her up she’s so awesome. Hehe.

Okay, enough of that…I digress. I’m getting back to getting more done in the week. Hopefully this will mean a return to hobbies and reading…maybe even parks and other such diversions…I really want to go biking on the Pinellas trail or walk around Epcot. My plan is to get my sewing machine fixed and start a patchwork quilt for Kay’s toddler bed as my dive back into my hobbies. I want to do a Tetris pattern but we’ll see. Other than that I have some high quality smut to real…I’ll be starting another Katie MacAlister. She is funny as all get out and even writes some young adult books…probably detective types but I really want to check them out and get some for Kay when she gets older…

Most of my friends seem to have gone back to or started college now that I’m done. It reminds me that if I want to be a librarian then I should get my MLS. I dunno. I love to learn so much and I’ve spent so much time in school that it seems a shame to not go on but I don’t care about a career and my natural inquisitiveness is at the heart of my scholastic interests which doesn’t require the academic form to utilize it so….basically what I’m saying is that I don’t intend to get a job and my current pursuits don’t require added degrees so why not save the dough? Oh, but what if something bad happens? Sure, I’d be okay for a while on insurance refunds but that’s hardly a life for me and Kay…should I, instead, get teacher certified so I could be a history/ social science teacher? Maybe I could do that and then get a MLS so I could also be the school librarian? *le sigh*

Anyway, I’ve been writing this off and on all day and it’s time to get Kay to bed. *salute* G’night peeps!!
