Diary of a Fat Girl

Bob and I took the family to church Sunday. (He's back home btw). I believe that I may have hit a new low, but then got humbled in return. You see, it was Communion and we go to a very traditional Church. Communion is done, kneeling at the Altar. Ok, we've been in Church almost 2 hours, my stomach has decided to growl everytime the Preacher has prayed, I mean people were staring, and now as we are taking our food and drink, my knees are killing my from being on them, and I'm wishing my little...

It seems relatively easy to wish you could have 5 minuets of quiet time, or wish you could sprawl out in bed alone... when your husband was there, however, mine is a zillion miles away in Georgia! Oh sure, he came home this weekend, got in about 8:14 Friday night, fell asleep at about 8:18, hung out on Saturday, then had to get up at 6:15 on Sunday am to head back out. Friday went like this.. I sprinted out of the shop at about 12, went to the bank, came home started the dough for my french... Sign in to see full entry.

Things had been going reasonably well lately, maybe even a little too well...Bob was working but his company had really slowed up, and they had laid a bunch of guys off. I had heard rumors that they were starting to look at jobs out of state, but I didn't really pay to much attention to it. Ha! Me and my dumb ass... so here I sit, with the company of a sleeping 13 year old, 2 cats, a dog, a fish and a partridge in a pear tree; my husband 400 miles away in Georgia. He did call to tell me that the... Sign in to see full entry.

Ok, I know that I didn't spell it right, but over the last few weeks, I have looked back to realize that I was beginning to put in more and more 12-13 hour days at work. I mean, it's saturday, and I worked today, with thoughts of working tomorrow. See, I took on this renovation project from Suzanne, and well... to say the least, I never should have opened my big fat mouth when she asked if I knew of anyone who did wood restoration! Gee, I guess somewhere in my little chocolate infested brain, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I made it through the holidays pretty damn successfully if I do say so my self. No broken bones or messed up toenails, and I'm happy to report that only one mild case of "suspected " food poisoning was reported to me.... of course I'm sure you can guess who that was! With all of the success, I am not happy to say that I still have the diet struggle. I just don't understand it! I agonize over making the right meals, count every calorie, even give my husband crap about what he's eating! Perhaps,... Sign in to see full entry.

It's suffice to say that I just don't get some of the things that are going on in our world today. I recently turned 30, and I feel as though I try to lead a good life. I have a beautiful daughter, a great husband, and a successful business. I've tried really hard for the last few years to get back to a 1950's mind set as far as manners, morals, and a few other things go. It eases my head, and makes me a happier person. I recently have even given much thought to going back to church, and have... Sign in to see full entry.

After having a somewhat miserable thanksgiving, I can console myself with the facts that I will be out of this cast soon enough, and hopefully the Steve Madden boots aren't outta the question after all. Business has been steady, and Mrs. Snotty called about hosting a New Years Day Brunch. I was tempted to tell her no, thinking that the unpleasantness of it all could lead me to having a broken butt bone, or neck, or worse! However, being the woman that I am, I told her yes. She was coming in... Sign in to see full entry.

Ok, so, the system is being a little crazy, it just deleted everything I had written. Anyhoo, to say that I will get even with Ms. Suzanne would be an understatement, but to know me, and to think that I would actually go through with anything that would damage my reputation, would of course be a lie, so I will hit her, in another aspect. The good ole wallet! Yes, she can afford it, and considering that I was having to special order everything, I hit her good. So after our initial meeting, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I managed to get through Halloween without eating all of the candy, and pretty much sticking to jelly beans. I must admit, that the little baby Almond Joys called my name, I know I heard them from down the hall, but I only ate a few. So, I'm heading in to work, it's friday, thank heavens. I'm definatly coming down with a nasty little sinus infection, and the best part of it, is that I have little to no taste right now. Gee, sinus infection in a bottle.. the new Slim Fast. HA! The downside, is... Sign in to see full entry.

Welllll, as you can obviously see, I have not been very consistant with my writing. I started a new company, gained a large catering account, and even started writing a cookbook. Oh, yeah, my weight.... hehehehe. I'm counting points. I'm sure anyone on the planet knows that diet I'm talking about. It's working, I'm down 17 lbs, but occassionally, I slip. I mean, 22 points is suppose to last me all day!!! DAMN the bad luck! Yeah, I know that I can add in points and all of that, but, it just... Sign in to see full entry.

If having trouble with my poor little unpainted pigs at the bank was not bad enough, my day was getting even worse.I stepped on a bee while weeding my flowers, and now, along with having two unpainted toes, I had a swollen red foot to go along with it. So, here I sit, with my foot elevated, unpainted toes, and a strong desire to have real coffee. It should have been some omen, when I fell in the bank to just go inside and find a quiet spot when I got home.... no such luck. Bob's on his way, as I... Sign in to see full entry.

After a long day sorting through my advertising, drinking a whole pot of coffee... the real stuff, (God know's I'll be up for three days), I decided that maybe I'd better take my concept to the bank first, to see if they would lend me the start up money. After all, just two weeks ago, I had catered the branch manager's wedding brunch, and didn't I take them muffins once a month, just to sweeten the relationship a bit? What to wear now faced me. Trusty khaki's and a black tee shirt, just weren't... Sign in to see full entry.

It's now Thursday. After a long talk with my honey last night, I decided that I would expand the small catering business I have on the side, to more full time. Heck, if things really got kickin, a Gourmet Food shop was just what this little River town in Virginia needed. I mean rich people were here from Thursday thru Sunday from March til late October, I thought it might work.... HAHA Just what I need, to be surrounded by decadent treats all day. When I took my first dinner party order, a few... Sign in to see full entry.

In all of the hustle and bustle of yesterday, I never did get to look through the mail. I sat down on this sunny Wednesday morning and prepared to look through it. I figured after the pizza, that I would treat or should I say cheat myself one more time and have real coffee. In my head, I convinced myself someway, that it was like the 12:00 drinking rule..... I never would have even given the Lands End catalog a second glance, I usually reserved that for a bookbag for Kate and some x-mas gifts,... Sign in to see full entry.

I walked around for the rest of the day, with just plain old cotton, no lycra to suck it all in sweats on.As my day is winding down, I have managed to do all my little things around the house, I usually do, despite my entire family being camped out in my den. My parents finally went home, making that oh so long treachorous 1/4 mile dirve. They recently moved down here, my youngest brother, just got deployed for the Army, and my other brother who is camped out on my couch watching ESPN, got his... Sign in to see full entry.
