Seven Is Heaven

I am finishing up my seven straight happy posts with a tag from SunGrooveTheory aka Sunny (to me anyway because she just radiates sunshine!) So here goes:

I SAID: I would lose weight this year. I am happy to say, while no signifacant poundage has left my massive frame, at least I have not gained!

I WANT: to keep Solin forever. Alas, she is not mine and belongs to her uncle but I am happy he shares her so generously.

I WISH: Mr. Daphnewood was done with his residency. Did you know it takes 7 years out of med school to be a neurosurgeon? 7 years! and that is after 4 years of med school and 4 years of undergraduate school.

I HATE: my lips. They are thin and colorless. Not kissable at all.

I MISS: Jeff Bagwell playing first base for the Astros.

I HEAR: Little Man snoring in my bed, a fan blowing and Rocket Man by Elton John playing through my computer.

I WONDER: where will we end up living when Mr. Daphnewood is all done? I kind of like the midwest with all the seasons. I have never had that before since I was raised in Southern California.

I REGRET: not visiting my father more. He lives in San Diego and it is hard to get out there.

I AM NOT: a very good bookkeeper. Balance a checkbook; what's that?!

I DANCE: only when no one is looking. Rhythmically challenged is what they call me.

I SING: only if I know the words.

I CRY: way too much! sappy commercials can even make me cry. ughh!

I AM NOT ALWAYS: patient but I do try. I am more patient with those that I love than strangers. Meaning, poor customer service often sets me off and WalMart hates to see me walk through their door.

I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: delicious baked goods. Although I am not as good at cooking nor as exoctic as my father can cook, my kids still come running to eat.

I WRITE: no poetry anymore but I am writing a bit about my experiences as a mother and wife in an MSWORD file. It's a start of a book of sorts I guess.

I CONFUSE: the days of the week. Like I thought yesterday was wednesday! I hate when I do that but it happens every week at least once.

I NEED: a little space. It is easy for me to feel smothered but my family is great about understanding my quirks.

I SHOULD: take the kids swimming and to the library more. Their brains and bodies might atrophy over the summer.

I START: cleaning up the house but get sidetracked

I FINISH: my fries. everytime. thus the reason for no weight loss.

So that ends the seven happy posts. I am trying hard to keep my mind open and free of negative thoughts. Yesterday I slipped a little by throwing out some choice words while on the freeway but I was provoked. Happy day everyone!
