Just Checking In

Not a lot to share - all I seem to do anymore is work, eat and watch TV. Such the boring life - but it's all I can afford to do. Maybe if I stopped trying to take so many vacations I would be able to take in a movie every now and again. Right - don't think so!

Susanna wants to have lunch tomorrow. Great - not looking forward to it. She either wants to complain about the Idiot, agree with the Idiot or a bit of both. I cannot wait until Krissy's 18th birthday when I can wave good-bye to the Idiot and his brainwashed Dumbass. They are still saying no to the Colorado trip, he said no to my helping Felicia get her cat to the vet - I can't stay on the subject or my blood pressure will go up!

Speaking of blood pressure - mine is on the rise again, as is my weight. I have no idea why I'm failing miserably at getting this fat off. I sometimes feel like a shark when I walk in the kitchen and just go on an eating frenzy. Why? I am so disgusted with myself. All those people around the world starving and I am eating myself to death. Gluttony - may be the most deadliest of the sins.

Like I said, I don't have much to say so I'll just log off and go find something to do until I can fall asleep.

Fun Saturday

I found a house to rent on a Colorado horse ranch that John and Diane agree is perfect so I booked it. It's very expensive ($325 a night!) but John and Di insist on covering the cost - and I'm going to let them. My trip to the mountains is falling in to place - now I just have to cross fingers that Gregg will decide to let the girls go (he's saying no right now and Susanna is saying yes) and that Charlie doesn't back out as I really don't want to have to do ALL the driving. I am really thinking it's going to work out! I told Felicia to really talk up how excited she is to get back in the mountains and how much fun we are going to have - not to pressure Gregg but to make him feel guilty enough to relinquish them to me. He is such an ass.

I took the girls to Weston MO yesterday where we did the Irish thing. Roamed through Celtic Ranch store where we each bought a Celtic necklace that had our Irish 'sign' and then we went to O'Mallay's for an Irish lunch. I mentioned that I was planning a trip to Ireland for my 50th birthday and Emily said she wanted to go along. When I told her she wouldn't be old enough yet, she pouted for a minute. I told her I would go with her when she was old enough and her response was, "If you're still alive by then." Cracked me up! We had a real fun afternoon, and there was no TV watching or computer playing at all! We painted and played with Play-Doh and blew bubbles. Fun.

I've managed to make my $600 payments to Disney Visa for three months now (on top of the $200 payments to USAA Mastercard). I am committed to paying off Visa this year and the only way to accomplish it is to send them $600 a month. Then next year I will tackle and pay off USAA. In two years I will have $800 additional funds EACH MONTH! Then I will party!
