Losers...

Well, yesterday was weigh in Monday at Weight Watchers. I met dad there during my lunch. He was waiting for me in his usual seat in the very back. Dad, don't you know that if you want and "A" you have to sit up front. We both had a great week. My dad has lost a total of 11.2 lbs, and I'm at 16.2 lbs total. It feels great to see those numbers drop consistently every week. We have family pictures scheduled in May down at the beach, so I've got something to work for...especially since I don't want my picture taken much these days. Thanks for all your support dad! I'm proud of us!

An Angel's Birthday

My niece Jillian had a birthday today. She's 15...WOW! I sure do miss you Jilli. I think of you everyday angel. Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of Jillian.

Happy Birthday Jillian Ray!

Hannah's poem

I was checking out Hannah's 5th grade class blog today and her teacher requested that the students post their poems about the rain (I guess because we've had so much lately). I don't know much about poems, unless it starts with roses are red...I was very proud of Hannah's poem and wanted to share it.


The Rain

The rain came down
from up above
the roof like a river
to the winter's sun.
While the cold winter
night turned to ice.
That night with a
drip drop on the roof
the waterful came down.
As you step outside
the pounding on your head
like a cold shower
outside as cold as ice.
The heater comes on
my frozen body is melting
faster than the sun
is coming out.

I'm a loser!

Every Monday at lunch I drive over to Weight Watchers, meet my Dad, weigh in and stay for the meeting. Today was my 4th weigh in and I lost 1.4 lbs. My grand total so far is a whopping 13.2lbs. YEAH ME!!!
