… who is being forced to go back to school after the best summer ever.
As I predicted, I was offered the job and have accepted it. I begin Tuesday (since I had stuff already scheduled for Monday). This is requiring me to look at the big picture and see that it will help me, in a myriad of ways, get to my goal of being a teacher/healer/woo-woo chick. Still and all, I don’t wanna. I could choose to be thankful that I had a paid summer off (meager pay though it was) and time to take care of mom as needed and plan my day as I wished. And, deep down, I really am grateful for those things. Truly and well. So, this will be the last bit of whining I will do about it (publicly, anyway).
I am working on my 9/11 tribute to be posted on Sunday. Having signed on as a participant in 2996 – the project to honor those who lost their lives in the attack, I will be sharing information on the life of Richard Aranow, who was in one of the twin towers. I also plan to share an email Kristin Breitweiser wrote in response to (shudder) Ann Coulter (shudder) when she (Coulter) slagged the widows of 9/11 in her screed “Godless”. It was very enlightening and worth reading.
For now, however, I’m off to do some errands and crap. Man, what I wouldn’t give for a HUGE soft pretzel from the Amish market and a plate of spaghetti. (Yes, I am currently going through carb withdrawal and it’s causing me some angst. Of course, I am also down about 10lbs from two weeks ago which, as you can imagine, is NOT causing me any angst whatsoevah!)
Can I just once again say how much I loathe Anne Coulter. She is pure evil. And its not just because im a liberal. I seriously considered changing my registration in 2000 so i could support mccain. (it wouldnt have mattered, we are one of the only counties in the state that goes blue which is good but makes me feel like my efforts could be used other places) You go with those ten pounds girl! I may have lost weight this week too! Unfortunaltely its been from nasty flu as opposed to any good habits..
Way to go for the 10 poundages!! Last night we went to some new Buffet for dinner here in Savannah. Everything was dipped, breaded, floured or dripping with carbs!! The Salad bar was wilting so badly even Jiminy Cricked would run away saying, “Screw this shit.” I tried but couldn’t help it – temptation is one thing, but when you are hungry and that is all you have to choose from, ya gotta. I literally came home, crashed and woke up this morning with a Carb Hangover.
For our birthday I was going to make a chocolate cake – but now, nope. I’m going to make a Spleda Cheesecake instead. I sure don’t wanna be hungover like this again.
I’ll tell ya what – in a few weeks I promise to give you my easy secret recipe for virtually carbless soft pretzels. I made these the last time I was on Atkins and would actually make pretzel braids instead. Slice these in half and you have yourself a killer sandwich too!!
Hey Cuz ~ Congats on the weight loss and the new job!!!! I know how hard it is to get back into that work thing. I really am enjoying the “new” career…my classes keep getting larger, YEAH!
BTW, thanks for the perfect b’day card…you do have a “gift” for always finding the right one, no matter the occasion.
I am off for some b’day Flair shopping and dinner w / mamma and hubby. KIds are not going to be around (tear).
Love ya, Cuz ‘O Mine
Congrats on the job.
And Super Congrats on the weight loss! That is awesome.
It will be nice read all the 2996 posts. I just couldn’t do it. Being in that energy, at all, totally overwhelms me. It was hard for me visting WTC in NYC. But, I am so glad people took up that challenge to celebrate those individuals.
