Compatibility for Neal and Me
Donna's Sun in Virgo and Neal's Sun in Capricorn
Both of you are very practical, well-grounded people. You are responsible, trustworthy, and mature as well. Neal is a little more inclined to develop a strategy and plan for success, and have a practical scheme for advancing in career, while Donna tends to rely more on practical skills and personal talents. Donna enjoys providing a clear, tangible service to others. Your energies blend together well, and you can be a very effective team in business affairs and practical undertakings. It is possible that your relationship will be a bit dry or mundane, particularly if the romantic and/or sexual connections between you are not very strong. The joy, color and light side of life may be missing.
Both of you have Sun trine or or sextile Saturn
Both of you are mature, realistic, responsible and capable of formulating concrete plans and goals, then patiently working to actualize them. You both possess a conservative, somewhat cautious streak and are able to pace yourselves and endure lean times in order to achieve your personal objectives. One quality you are apt to appreciate in each other is conscientiousness -the fact that you can rely on one another to fulfill whatever obligations you agree to.
I honestly can't believe it!!!
As time has flown by this last (more than a) year, Life has taken an unexpected turn. As the last time I posted, my son was still home. He is now in the Army and has been away from home for over a year. I sometimes still have trouble dealing with him not being here, as all moms do when the children leave the nest. He is my baby...my first...and I miss him. We do still keep in touch often, but it's not the same as the door slamming behind him coming in and yelling, " Mom, what's for dinner?" or the two of us hanging out in the evening watching a movie. I really miss that. He is a man now and that I think is probably the hardest thing I have had to deal with. My baby is all grown up. He doesn't need me anymore...although he has no problem asking me for money when his funds have all dried up and payday isn't for another week. I guess some things never change. This is good...as I will always be here for him...as long as it's humanly possible.
Well, I have managed to keep my weight down. I did creep up to 170 at one point, but got it back down to my goal. It was a bit of a struggle. I had trouble with the reality that I had put a few pounds back on and so once I finally admitted it to myself, then and only then, did I have the power to take it back off. So life is good and things are going alright. My work has gotten very political and I am coming to terms with maybe quitting in search of something less stressful. With an eating issue, I don't really need to have added stress in my life. My kids and husband and the rest of my family and friends are having no problem with giving me all the stress I need. My youngest started high school this year. In four years, he will graduate (hopefully) and be off on his own. Then what will I do...same thing I've been doing the last 20 years....taking care of my husband. Yes, we have been married 20 years. Seems like forever, but I was a teenager when I got married and had CJ. So at the ripe old age of 45, I will be able to enjoy myself and my job of raising my children will be done. I can sit back and reap the rewards of my efforts. Boy...who am I kidding??? Well, I just wanted to touch base with the blogging world and let anyone who reads my rambling know I am still here...just a lot later than I would have liked.
Have fun, be happy...if you don't make it happen, you've lost.
Love to all,
~~D

It has been too long
Just wanted anyone who reads this to know I am still around. Time sure does get away from you when you are busy. I can't believe that the summer is half over all ready. We took the kids to Cooperstown, NY to the Baseball hall of fame and visited there for a while. We also went to Strasburg, PA to the Railroad museum and Amish Country. Had a nice, quiet time. We are still in a bit of a bind for time, but I thought I would stop by and make a post.
I am still at my goal weight although I have to admit, I haven't been real good lately. We had that big Amish dinner and then in addition to that have just been eating out alot lately and I haven't really been able to control what I am putting in my mouth...not totally anyway...so I have just been trying to control the amount of food I have been eating. I have gained a few pounds since the beginning of the month, but am still well within the range of being "legal" for WW.
I was working alot of hours for them up until recently and thought I would have a break, but not really. I was planning on getting some computer time, and haven't had much of that lately either because of work. Doesn't help that CJ is always on the computer and we both can't use it at the same time.
Well, maybe I will eventually get to uploading some new pictures. It has been a great summer so far, but a very busy one. Hope everyone is healthy and happy and is also having a great summer!!!
Catch you later...D
Almost where I want to be
So I am down to 158 lbs now. I need to lose 3 more lbs to reach my personal goal. Started working for WW last Friday. I like it. The paperwork can be a bit overwhelming at first, but I think I got the hang of it. Kathy already asked me sub for her on March 14th, but I don't know if I am going to or not. I am suppose to be in Florida at that time and so I will just hold off and let her know in a few days. I am hoping that this isn't going to be a long wait for work. I know I will forget alot of what I am suppose to be doing if I don't use it. I was thinking of going on to be a leader, but I really don't know if that what's I want to do. I am hoping to do WW reception full time for a while.
Did very well this last week with the Annual Dinner, CJ's Birthday and Valentines Day all in the same week. We went out both Saturday and Sunday to eat and it surprises me that I lost 1.4 lbs this week. I must have done a great job counting points. I know I counted Saturday dinner as 40. We had Chicken Marsala, 3 vegetables, a few pieces of new potatoes, and a salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Then the appetizers...where to start? I had some pasta salad, cheese and crackers, a piece of beef teryaki, sausage and peppers, broccoli and vegetable dip, and 1 Rum and Diet Coke. Then after dinner, I had a slice of French Silk and Coffee w/ reg. milk. Anyway, I figured that was most of my WPA and some of my dinner pts. I went to Outback on Sunday and had a 9oz special w/ baked potato and steamed veggies. That meal was 16 pts. Very good food tho...well worth it to me. Guess that's it on the report...Have a great week!!!
Should have posted last week
I am now 100.4 lbs down. Have made and maintained goal weight for 7 weeks and have been offered a job at WW. I love this. Great feeling of accomplishment. I am, not only going to take the job, but may eventually go on to become a WW leader. I don't know yet, but we will see as time goes on. I start Friday morning. Don't know if I am going to be able to make it to Florida in March, but so what. I will be working and be able to help so many other people. Not sure what is going on with my sister either. Today is CJ's birthday and I haven't heard from her in about a month. She stayed here on a Friday night and left the kids with me on Saturday. Their stepmom came to get them for a bit and then Sis picked them up and brought them back to my house. Stayed until evening and then it started to rain/sleet so she left to take the kids back to her x's and go to her boyfriends. She called me to say she had a new number and we talked for a short bit and that was that. I called her twice to tell her that we also got a new number and she hasn't called me back. I hate to call her when she is at work because for her, time really is money. I don't want to take that away from her. But now I still don't know if she still wants to go to Florida next month or not. So I decided that I can't wait around for her. Have to do what I need to do. So I will see if I can get that week off from work, and if not, Oh well. I will still take my mini vacation to my cousins if I want. That would be driving distance at least to work. Have to fill out the paper work and get that in, but there are some things that I am confused about filling out, so I thought I would ask for help. It might snow Friday morning and if it does we will be waiting another week. So I am a Lifetime member now and that makes me so happy.
