First off, I want to apologize for not answering comments very faithfully these days. Life's crazy. Time is a rare luxury. As much as I want to address comments I just don't have time right now. I'm so sorry.
It's been a good day. I'm tired but it's a good tired.
Two events have taken place. First of all offspring number one relocated today. Instead of being 16 hours from home, she's now just 5 1/2. We're thrilled about that but not just because she's going to be closer but also because she's landed her dream job and we know she's going to do great. Now we're just hoping she'll meet someone but that's not the most important thing here.
We moved her into a nice apartment. The whole family came for the event. The day got better as it came to an end. I didn't think things could be better than having #1 closer to us but guess what? #2 and her husband told us tonight that we're going to be - for the very first time - grandparents.
We're thrilled beyond words. And her sisters are so excited at the idea of being aunts.
Yup.
It's been a big ol' day. I doubt any of us forget it anytime soon.

Told Him
Well. I did it.
Those of you who have been reading here forever and ever might not like what it is that I did.
But still... I did it.
It's frustrating. You know?
So what did I do?
Well ..................
The other day Adam cracked me on the rear and then I did it.
I told him.....
It wasn't like it was a surprise to him. Not at all. He already knew.
Still... he keeps trying... WE keep trying.
So what did I do?
It's not big deal really.
I told him.
I told him that spanking just doesn't do anything for me anymore. For that matter NOTHING does it for me. We haven't done a thing sexually or otherwise since we were on our last road trip.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
That was seven - SEVEN weeks ago.
It's not there and yes, I know this ain't right.
I'm just updating you. That's all.
I don't know if we'll ever get back to where we were. I don't know how or when or where or why we lost it but we did. Surely it will come back on its own one of these days and when it does, I'm sure I'll have plenty to blog about. In the meantime.... well... I'm not going anywhere. I'll still post here and there when the spirit moves me just for the simple reason that I like to write.Besides that, I love you all and don't want to give up the friendships I've made here.
Anyhow..................
I did it. I told him. It just doesn't do anything for me right now. It will again someday. I have faith. In the meantime, I guess I just wanted to let you know that nothing has changed.... not yet.

Top Ten Occupants of My Mind
Life's busy.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I guess it's good. I'm confident that, even though things are stressful at the moment, they will turn out good in the end.
Here's what's happening:
1 - Tomorrow night we are driving 5 hours from home so that we can be there when offspring #3 graduates on Saturday. Finally - no kids in college any longer.
2 - Next weekend we are moving offspring #1. Instead of being 800 miles from home as she's been the past 8 years she will now be just 300 miles from home. How cool is that? We'll be seeing much more of her this way as she can come home on those long 3 day weekends and such.
What's interesting here is that as we move offspring #3 back home, we're moving offspring #1 to the state which #3 is leaving. Adam will fly to where she is now to drive the truck for her. The rest of us - myself, #3, #2, and #2's hubby - will drive and meet them at the new place which is closer to home.
3 - The weekend after that we will be home. My plan is to relax after these two insane weekends.
4 - The weekend after that I am having some fairly major surgery. I have a hernia the size of a sugar baby watermelon. They are repairing it and then tightening my belly by removing some skin. I'll have to wear two drains. One will come out after two weeks. The other in 3 to 4 weeks. I'm not looking forward to that but will be glad when it's over.
5 - I think I might get a tattoo.
6 - American Idol is exciting this year. Both Davids are awesome. Then there's Syesha. That girl has come a long way. She was quite unnoticeable in the beginning. Lately she's been pouring it on. Has anyone ever been in the bottom 2 or 3 so many times then made it this far? Amazing, that girl is.
7 - No road trip for us this year. I mean - REALLY - have you seen the price of gas? It was $3.79 when I got back to town after work today. Takes me 2 and a 1/2 gallons just to go to work each day.
8 - On the other hand, we're taking a plane trip this year. It's actually a business trip for Adam however we're going to turn it into pleasure also by staying a couple days after the business part of it is over. We're going to see some sites but better yet - we're going to spend a couple days with some friends that I'm dying to see.
9 - Next week our 100 year old house is getting sided. It's been a long, long time since it was painted. It's a mess. The paint is peeling but what's worse is that we had some wicked bad ice storms this winter. The last one brought down a 25 foot section of spouting. It's all getting fixed.
And saving the best for last......
10 - PK is coming to visit!!!!!!! And she's bringing MOLLY!!! The jury is still out on Nick coming along. I'm going to make them promise that if he doesn't come this time then he has to come next time.
Well, that's it in a nut shell. Keep PK entertained on the weekends for me this month but don't let her forget me!!!

Hey every one!! How's things?
Here?
They (things) are a bit weird.
I'm still adjusting to life as a more normal sized person. I told Adam last night that the best part about all this weight loss stuff is that I don't feel like a freak anymore. If you've ever been overweight, you know what I mean. Honestly I guess it would apply to more than just weight loss. There are many issues a person might carry that would make him or her feel freakish in our society that puts so much stock in beauty and maintaining an above average everything.
Anyhow, as wonderful as it is to be a size 8 for the first time in my adult life, it's also a major adjustment. People comment. Sometimes I've caught someone just staring.

Just Curious....
Can anyone explain this to me? Was it an honest mistake? Is there something fishy going on? I don't understand why it's such a big deal...
