Bullets on This and That

Some bullets because I want to post, but allergies and a sudafed stupor are making long extended thought difficult.

The summer monsoon has come! I like the thunderstorms this season brings, but I do not enjoy the muggy heat. The skies are always so pretty tho. Through June the skies are almost always completely lacking in clouds and is just a huge expanse of BLUE. It is really pretty in its own way. But now I look out my window and see the trees swaying in the breeze and the fluffy white clouds in the distance.

I am thankful for kind,good people. I realized today I had never really introduced myself to the man I sit next to every day during my little boys swim lessons. I rectified that today. Isn't funny that I can get to know someone and so much about him and his family and yet neither of us never think to say "Hi, my name is...". This is the same man who loaned me his cell phone when I locked my keys in the van.

I am thankful for my family. I really enjoyed out get together on Tuesday. I learned one of my sisters is moving to Texas. I will miss her. I am pretty sure near the end of the evening I ended up a bit over chatty and over opinionated. I blame missing my meds that morning. (Helps feel better if there is a reason for being an annoyance.) But my family is so great (or just know me so well LOL) they didn't make a big deal of it.

I'm not getting much writing done. I think I was a bit over optimistic (which is odd for me, I am usually over pessimistic) on how much I would get done this summer. Silly me though I'd have all this time while kids napped. Yeah right, what ten year-old naps?

I have lost 8 lbs this summer and I haven't changed my horrid eating habits one bit. Running around after kids and the time I have spent actually IN the pool seems to be making a difference. So, it is a pleasant surprise.

Being out at the pool has also tanned my pasty body. I haven't had a tan like this since...I don't remember when. I can even go make-up free most of the time as something about being out there has kept my skin looking pretty good.

Money, or the lack there of, is really hard. I will leave the thought at that I think. You all can relate I am sure.

So that's how my summer is going. It is keeping me very busy. I haven't had the chance to do much reading on my favorite blogs. I will be catching up over the weekend I hope. If I go to posting just once a week tho, I think Mommygoth will send me mental jabs.

Okay, I hate you. Well no, not REALLY, but I'm a little green with envy that you can drop 8 pounds WITHOUT EVEN TRYING! Since April, I have cycled 1368 kilometres (that's 850 miles!) and my pants don't feel any looser than they did before! (We broke our scale, so I don't really pay attention to pounds.)

Sounds like you're having a good summer so far.

Sounds like you are having a great summer. I am a bit jealous....but I am getting tan too and have spent all my weekends with chilins in the pool. Or well, I am getting more freckles, so I am starting to look tan.

Sounds like you're having a good summer so far. And wow -- 8 pounds lost -- how amazing! May I borrow your kids so that I can lose a little? (must be mine aren't active enough!)
