London 2012

When the Olympics makes it way to London in 2012, I will be there in the crowd for the opening and closing ceremony! I don't know what it takes to get tickets to venues and all that stuff but I will be there! I want to attend some of the track and field venues as well as rhythmic gymnastics and diving. Loved watching all that sports. Time really flew by and it's hard to believe that the summer Olympics are over. 8/8/08 felt like yesterday.

The weekend was for the most part quiet. I did get some great bargains at The Avenue. I didn't go out to the island to shop but rather just for the ride. However, how can you pass up getting a great pair of pants for under five bucks (original price $40)?!? I got four articles of clothing for under $25 dollars and had a 20% coupon so I spent under 20 dollars for items that would have cost me over 90 dollars original price. Not bad! I'm going through my drawers and closet this weekend to get rid of half of my clothes. I have been holding on to stuff out of fear of letting it go. Even clothes that are too big for me. I know it's crazy but I didn't want to get rid of it just in case I couldn't afford to replace anything. Technically I still can't afford to replace anything however the likelihood that I could is now there. I did buy my nutritional supplements yesterday. I felt better with my power shakes and flaxseed oil. I need to get in exercise again. I am going to start with my tapes again on Monday and I am going to learn how to swim. Classes begin in a few weeks. The goal is to lose another 40lbs by year's end. I think it's do-able. Just have to make sure to continue to eat properly AND get in exercise.

Today is my father's birthday. Spoke to him this morning. While he says he wasn't doing anything today, i'm sure he found time to spend with whatever woman he is seeing. Oh well, at least he has somebody to spend a birthday with. I will talk to Denise this week about where I should go in December. The last two birthdays have been an adventure. I want to keep the positive flow going.

Evan's wedding is in two weeks. We finally spoke on the phone Friday. I honestly didn't think I would hear from him again since just about all of my friends seem to think i'll be around forever. After the last email exchange, I just about blocked everybody from email. I'm sick of it. At one point I told him I'll just send a gift. Looks like I will now be attending but i'm pretty sure I won't be staying long at the reception. Just make an appearance, drop off my gift, wish them well and then i'm gone. I think once I leave there, i'm going to treat myself to a movie or something. Maybe i'll stop by a hotel bar and get a drink. I'll be dressed up so I'll do something I normally don't do. I originally asked someone to go with me but he probably won't show up anyway. He's all talk, never any action I can count on. Anyway, I better wrap it up. It's getting late. I hope this week is spectacular! Goodnight.
