Random Tuesday Thoughts

hosted by The Un Mom!
- weather report says snow will start around midnight … and last until 7 pm with an accumulation of 12-16 inches…this enables me to say I like waking up to 12-16 inches…LOL!!
- got a pretty necklace for Christmas; it says “One person can make a difference…and that person is you”

- Dave is talking to his daughter tonight…she may be moving into his place, which means he may be moving in with me. We’ll see.
- I really enjoyed having a live Christmas tree this year!
- This year, I’m going to try to go the route of minimalist (ok, stop laughing). Michelle is going to borrow my love seat, which frees up one wall. And I need to devote 1 hour a week at the very least to going through the stuff in the closet.
- I also got, for Christmas, a book called: “As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto”. Each night I read a few letters before falling asleep…I’d love to dream of Julia cooking in Paris!
- My brother surprised Dave and me at Christmas with a calendar he made by taking pictures from my Facebook page…it’s pretty awesome and creative!
- I really, really want to rent the little house down the Cape again this summer…
- At work, we get no sick time or personal time; that is, we can take a day off if we’re sick but we have to make it up. I had 132 hours to make up, so each week I’m working one day without pay…and will do so until the end of March to make up this time.
- I’ve kind of been losing my blogging mojo…any ideas?
- Relationships are work, even the type that move along relatively easily. Dave and I were talking last night and he mentioned that even though it’s a positive change for us, being together, it’s still a big difference and requires adjustments since we were both by ourselves for so long. Not a bad thing…but a change, nonetheless
- I’m finally able to move comfortably and walk without a limp. It’s funny the things we take for granted, like walking, that get disrupted and forces one to pay attention to how complicated the process really is!
- I saw a few movies recently: The Fighter, True Grit, and Black Swan. I enjoyed the first two very much…The Fighter was filmed in the town I live in and I have to say, Christian Bale really nailed the local accent. It’s a tough one to do!
- Dave and I made an agreement on New Year’s Eve: He’ll quit smoking when I lose 30 pounds (he’d like to lose too because he’s afraid when he quits smoking he’ll gain). It’s incentive for me, since I hate his smoking! So last night, I made stuffed peppers with brown rice, Morningstar crumbles and fire roasted tomatoes with a small slice of Velveeta on top. I asked Dave how he liked it…he said…well, where’s the bacon? (that’s the way his Mom made it). I reminded him we agreed to eat healthier…and he sighed and nodded.
