An Update to the 7 Wonders...Seriously

I just decided that meatloaf sandwiches are to be named one of the 7 Wonders of the World.  The pyramid thingies are being bumped, they're just a bunch of triangles anyway.  They don't compare to the taste of a leftover piece of meatloaf on toast with fat free cheese and fat free mayo. I don't care what you say, this is my blog. I would eat another one if it wasn't 8.5 fat grams.


======================================================

I'm in the home stretch with school.  Working on my last course now so hopefully I'll be done by the end of February.  Sometimes I'm just too lazy to work at it, but I think if I buckle down I can finish by then.  Just hope I can find a job fairly quickly.  This being broke thing is wearing on my nerves.

======================================================

The diet is going well.  I hit the 20 pound mark, but I would still like to lose 5 more.  I should probably exercise, but who the hell wants to do that?

=====================================================

My bff Lissa and her kids moved in with us a few months ago and its going pretty well.  For me, I like to have the kids around.  I miss little ones and this helps me not think about Lorelai so much.  I can't say how its working for Lissa though. I know from past experience its hard to live with someone when your raising a family.  I try to just be there to help and not over step my boundaries, but you know inevitably, that happens.
I pick them up from school everyday, I don't work and this saves her paying for daycare, and I get to do homework with them in the afternoon.  Again, that probably sounds weird to some of you, but I've found that I have a lot more patience for this stuff then I ever did when my kids were growing up. 
I dont know how long they'll stay here, but it's been good for me.  One more thing to keep me busy, but pretty good nonetheless.

===================================================

I got a surprise email from a bloggy friend recently (I'll not say who you are unless you say its ok) saying she was coming for a visit.  I'm sure "surprise" was what she was going for by not telling me ahead of time, which is fine, but there have already been a few monkey wrenches I need to work out now that the tickets are already bought.  No matter, I'll work em out cause I CANNOT wait to see her!  The weekend of February 26th!  It's toooooo far away dangit!!  Get here faster!!

===================================================

Well I know this hasn't been much as far as a blog post goes, but with all the changes and things going on, I just don't have time for much else.  I've been trying to check in on y'all and will continue to do so and hope you're all well.  Once this school thing is done and I can settle into a job and a routine, I'm sure I can get to blogging more regularly again.  I do miss all of you very much.

TTFN!!

  1. I have some meatloaf in the fridge, but I don't really care for meatloaf sandwiches, but my Hubby agrees with you - He LOVES meatloaf sandwiches...I've had food on the brain lately, especially the high calories, no food value type. AWFUL!!. . .What a good friend you are to step up and help your friend and her children. YOU GO GIRL!!

  2. I can't do meatloaf!

    I am glad you are almost done with school! You will feel so proud once you are finished!

    Nice that you let Lissa move in, I bet that is hard for her and you both at times.

    My guess is Jill Jill is headed your way. That or Georgie? Am I right? Am I right?

  13. first of all, congrats on school and the weight loss! (I agree, fuck exercise. I'd rather just eat a little less. maybe)

    I do not like meatloaf, so I'm ixnaying your meatloaf sandwiches. yuck.

    I think the Lissa situation sounds like a win-win for all of y'all! You sound like the perfect mom/nanny/whatever. Move to Texas, damn it! I'd pay you to watch my kids!!
