Well, I have really not been in the blogging mood for the last two weeks so that is why there have been no posts. I really try to blog about once a week, but life has been a little busy and frankly I just haven't had many ideas to write about.
Over the last two weeks, I have lost 3 lbs at Weight Watchers, yeah! That puts me at about 17 lbs. I am hoping to hit my 10% goal by Christmas (or Thanksgiving). Weight Watchers is going pretty well, I have kind of hit a lull in my enthusiasm but I am trying to not just go crazy and start eating everything in sight.
Last week was not the best, I started getting sick on Thursday and ended up having a little virus that finally resolved over the weekend. I missed work on Friday, but don't think I just lazed around the house. No no, I cleaned and then Taylor and Blake did the vacuuming, sweeping and mopping, as well as cleaning up the outside of the house. Then Saturday, we had about 5 people over for the OU/UT game. Great game and luckily, it was a meal that Taylor can pretty much handle on his own so I don't think I got any germs in the food. I am not even sure I was contagious by that point anyway.
Sunday, Taylor and I lazed about the house, watching football and then went to visit his parents. The weekend was too short as always. Sometimes, I really miss the shift work I used to do just because I only had to work 3 days a week. Of course, that didn't really count when you worked like a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule because you were always just trying to catch up on sleep and then it was back to work. I guess M-F is better since I don't have to work 12 hour shifts, or holidays, or weekends.
Also on Sunday, Taylor and I went to dinner with Blake and met the new girl he is dating. We had actually met her before since Blake met her at Serranos when we were eating with him, but this was our first chance to really hang out with her. She is a nice girl, but she is 19. Oh to be 19 and know so much about life because you have gone through your first year of college again. I am not usually a person who gets irritated by hanging out with younger people. In fact, since I am married to someone younger, I am usually hanging out with people a few years my junior. However, as I was listening to this girl talk to me about what my job was, what our friend D's job was and give us a little lecture about not making fun of kids with disabilities (which we weren't, by the way), I got to thinking. I remember being a freshman at ACU and the looks that the seniors I knew gave me sometimes, and now I know what those were about. I was a 19 year old idiot! Like most 19 year olds, I knew all about the world. Not that I know all about the world and life now. Certainly not, but I recognize this now and realize how I must have come off then. Like I said, she is a very nice girl but she is one of the first people I have met that I really feel the age difference with. Anyway, little rant there. Done now.
Well, this ramble could go on forever, so I will stop it now. I will try to write about something more excited next time.

I've missed your posts! Good rant...amen! :)
Being married to a younger man also, I understand the pains of spending time with younger people. Some are awesome and I really click with them, and some are idiots. There is one couple here in GA that is about 5 years younger then me. The guy is nice but the girl is a huge pain in my butt. The age is difference is obvious and when we get in our car after hanging out with them I can't help but rant the whole way home!
