Here we are... coming to the end of January already!
I have managed to stick with our diet really well... and I am baking every single one of the loaves of bread my family eats. Grocery shopping is still a bit difficult...as I am learning what is "safe" for my family to eat...but I am sure in time that will all become second nature. I am proud of myself so far!
Since I am making such progress on our goals... I feel I can step it up a notch on one of my personal goals... losing weight! I have managed to lose and keep off only 4lbs, since Jan 1st... now to get my butt moving more!!!
So... starting in February... I will put in at least 15 minutes every day on my elliptical! Yes, I know...I am starting off slow. You have no idea how that damn machine KILLS my knees!!! So, I have to start out with a time amount I can handle... I am setting myself up for SUCCESS!!!! :-)
Today...
Gotta get my roast in the crock pot.
My morning will be spent in my shop :-)
Then a quick bite to eat for lunch... before I head off to do our grocery shopping!
Once that is all done and put away... preparing the rest of dinner... waiting for my hubby to get home from work... then off to tow Josh's blown up car back here to pull the stereo out. Once that car is unloaded we will officially be DONE dealing with ANY and ALL of Josh's car drama! He will be on his own. I hope that he learned some sort of lessons with his first 2 cars!!
OK... one last rant before I head off to get some work done around here...
I understand that Joe Paterno passing is a sad thing. BUT... the media is saturated with this stuff now!! Holy Cow!!! He was a football coach... granted, a damn good one... BUT, it isnt like he saved the world!!!! We have all kinds of important ppl calling and offering up sympathy... hell, even the president and all kinds of politicians and important ppl!
Now... does that president himself call the wives of soldiers who arent coming home from this bullshit war, alive... to offer his sympathy?!?!? Hmmmm....
What about them men and women who are killed every day... selflessly risking their lives to save other ppl... ppl they dont even know...?!?! Hmmmmm....
THOSE people are HEROS!! Not a football legend.
Seriously... this makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the minds of ppl these days.
Yes, it is a sad time Yes, Joe Paterno did quite a bit for Penn State and some important charities... I get that.
What I dont get is how our society can push aside a wife who lost her husband...who was a VOLUTEER fireman and was killed pulling a family out of a burning building. (OR... he was a cop that just helped chase down a gang member that was shootig ppl left and right... and got killed in the process) It happens all of the time. You hear or read the story once in the local papers... then nothing. No follow up on how that wife must feel... or how she may be struggling to support her children...
OK... I am done ranting... I am sure I will get shit for my thoughts on this one... but, they are MY thoughts!
Enjoy your day, everyone... I hope it is a sunny one!!!
