Where have I been?!?

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Wow! I just took a week off from here. Was I missed? It would be interesting to know who truly looks forward to my rantings. Drop me a comment and tell me how this blog has helped you or what you enjoy about it. I am devoting more of my time to studying and doing well in school. The real reason I haven't been on here in a week is because I'm not tech savvy and Ceily, my 8 year old little girl, was playing with my laptop last weekend and accidentally shut off my wireless capabilities. I wasn't sure how to turn it back on but the guy at the office supply store helped me out last night.

I've learned so much in the last week that I didn't miss the Internet half as much as I thought I might. Funny how our life can be filled with other things and we think nothing of not keeping our regular routine. I did miss blogging a little bit but I had lots of reading to do for my 2 journalism classes where they give a pop quiz every week! My literary hertiage class is my favorite, the stories we read for discussion are really out there in terms of content.

I'm getting ready to go to my 2nd University of Memphis football game. My step dad is going with me this time. I anticipate we will have loads of fun b/c we both love football.

Back to the "our life can be filled with other things" topic. My tennis shoes had started wearing out about a month ago and it was starting to hurt my back to walk so I put walking on hold for about a month. I was blessed to be able to buy a new pair of walking shoes but in the process of not walking I gained some weight. I workout at a local Curves and today we did my weight and measurements and compared them to earlier this summer in June....my results were awful! I've gained some weight and inches! So my goal now is to get serious about these last 30-35 pounds I want off and do it by the end of this year! I've done the Curves diet before in 2005 and lost a good amount of weight and it's easy to do. So I'm going to stock up and prepare to DIET on Monday. I know I can do this, I've lost over 65 pounds in a year and a half without really trying. So to diet to lose these last 35 will make a positive impression on me. I will remember what it took to get it off and won't easily stuff my mouth with junk. That's been my problem lately, eating junk I don't have any business touching let alone eating!

So what did you want to finish this year? You've got a little over 3 months to do it. It isn't too late to finish what you started, is it? Go for it! Finish what you started or get started!
