It's Weekend Again

It's late and I feel a bit guilty for not keeping up with my writing this week. Everything has been left in draft mode since Tuesday! Have been a bit busy so at least I have a good excuse. LOL. Will finish all posts in the morning. Not quite sure what I will do with myself this weekend. It's going to be so nice outside but I'm getting bored just hanging out by myself. Been talking to a few guys. Let's see if one or two will step up to the plate and ask me out on a weekend date. I really miss those. I refuse to give up on dating even though some of the men I've encountered would make me justified in doing so? Ha ha. The good takeaway so far....plenty of material to write about on the other blog and I am getting out more! I've been feeling pretty powerful for a good stretch here. That's good in the wake of feeling so powerless the past few months.

Next week I head to an info session in my bid to attempt the elusive half marathon (using a run/walk method) I wish to complete. I must be insane considering that I don't/won't have any financial support fundraising wise and I still have like 80lbs to lose. I've been thinking about it and if I can commit to the fundraising minimum (if it's not too high), I will try to get financial backing from the local community and some businesses. I know I can complete this goal! Let's see what comes of the info session.

I better go. More tomorrow.

Costco High

It's been a couple of days since the last time I've had the opportunity to post. Finally had a chance to semi-stock my fridge and freezer. Alot of people may find this crazy but I actually feel happy when I go to Costco and shop for food! The last time I went shopping was in October since I didn't want to stock the fridge pending a possible move to a new apartment. I would have to say that I can really count my blessings since I can't remember a time when my fridge had ever been so empty. That means I have never been hungry or in danger of not having enough money to pay for groceries. I didn't realize how much I missed having some of my favorite things like almonds, fresh fruits and veggies, even toilet paper. LOL. It's amazing how I don't have much but what I do have is actually priceless. All of these perishables are stored in my teeny, tiny space and my meals are prepared in a kitchenette with non-existent counter space. Yet there is so much joy I feel in knowing that I have the ability to feed my body and feed my soul. I'm not a gourmet chef or anything but I really do enjoy cooking for myself as well as others. I wonder what my kitchen will look like when I actually move into a place with a real kitchen. I have a feeling it's going to be fabulous! My next trip to Costco probably won't be until about October or so but I'm already starting the new list. Can't hardly wait.
