So, did anyone tell you that I called Sat morning about having coffee together this weekend? Just wondering... We have appointments for our “side-by-side 60 minute Couples Massage (we can hear each other’s moans of pleasure and shrieks of pain),” on Sunday, May 25. We can have our pedicures after lunch that day (like around 2:00, I was thinking), but only one lady works that day, so one of us would have to wait and be witty and entertaining for us all. OR, we could do our pedicures at the same time, “side-by-side pedicures...” on the day before, Saturday, May 24, any time after 11:00. What do you prefer?
Vince took the kids away when he saw that I was feeling motivated to clean. What happened next? The phone started ringing... I spent an hour and a half on the phone discovering that:
- N.R. had sex this weekend! (Few of you will understand the importance of this, but it is remarkable and I need to mark it for posterity. )
- Suzanne wanted to know if I had taken a picture of the snow from this morning.
- Suzanne drank to much and then ate too much and thought about ditching on WW, but I said, "If we don't go tonight, then we'll never go again!" She admitted I was right.
- S.R. thinks I've made great strives this winter in the various aspects of my life and needed to pick up the phone to tell me that.
- J.M. is dying to move somewhere warm and dry and was seriously shopping for property in New Mexico after driving for a field trip to Mud Bay where no kid wanted to participate because it was so cold and wet out there!
- Valda's pictures are still not downloading from her camera properly and she is coming over to check it out.
- Jeanne wants to do the celebration mobiles on Wednesday after the school camping trip meeting.
- K.F. wants to know if Vince and I will be attending the employee banquet on Saturday. Yes we are.
- R.S. said, "I'll have the ADD test done before Wed. I've already picked up the tests from his teachers. I'm thinking that you should make the appointment now, because sometimes it can be hard to get in..." I had to laugh.
I was relieved when Suzanne picked me up for the WW. I was ready to be away from this mess. Her dog Pit came with us. Pit is an enormous version of Scratch. Very sweet dog, Very huge!
We were talking about her success, and the stresses in my life. I think I will be able to go into more detail about that tomorrow, but, I realized that when I started talking about Vince I reached out to nab my first french fry.
Immediately, I got into my purse and yanked out the week three booklet that I got from the meeting: I quickly went over the quiz... I eat for comfort... If I overeat, I feel guilty, which leads me to overeat more... But the biggie...I eat more when I'm unhappy, angry, or stressed...
That french fry grab made it painfully obvious that I am an Emotional Eater! Today I will study pages 39-45 and find out ways to manage this situation.
When I got home there was a note from Irene who took time to write from her fun trip which said, among other things:
Chin up, old girl. I love the Virgin Mary logos on your blog, where ever did you find them? And thanks for putting pictures of my boys on your blog. I don't have any of my old photo files on the laptop, only new ones. I updated my profile,check me out! I love having a friend that is totally into me. I love you! You're better than a husband or a boyfriend!
I swear, I am the luckiest woman around, because I have the best coolest girlfriends ever!
Thank you all for everything!
