Hi everyone! Here’s me this morning, right before heading into work. I look unusually happy… I am a morning person when no one is irritating me. Anway, I didn’t have any eventful pictures to share, so you’re stuck looking at me today.

Last night I met my friend Pam for supper- without kids. We had a great time, just sitting and talking and eating as slow as we wanted. I didn’t have to worry about whether or not she had to go to the potty, because she took care of that herself. We decided two weeks ago to meet every other Wednesday for supper or coffee- just to get out.

Today I hada Frappe and a doughnut for lunch. I don’t think that was the best thing for me; especially now that my stomach feels yucky. I would have been better with the cheeseburger. While I know with my smart self that I need to eat better- so much better- I can’t quite commit myself to doing it. Making lunchand bringing it seems so boring… and time-consuming. Yes, yes, I know it’s the smarter, healthier thing to do.

Because I’ve been thinking lately about how I can be happier, I decided that I am not going to take any crap off of anyone. That includes my family, Husband Dear’s family, others that may give me guff. I just though “Jeez, I’m almost 40 years old and I’m worried about what someone thinks about me.” That is ridiculous.

Here are some other things I’ve decided:

1. I’ll make time for the things that please me. Knitting, journaling, reading. I’ll knit what I want; write and paste in my journal when I want; and read any kind of book that I want. Do you see the common thread in there- what I want.

2. I will not be afraid to voice my displeasure with something. And not in a passive aggressive way.

3. I will wear black combat boots or pink Maryjanes if that pleases me. To heck with fashion.

4. I will dance- wildly and with joy.

5. I will not be unhappy with my body- it has done and still does a great job. I will tell it so every day.
