rainy day

It’s a cold, dreary, rainy day here in Atlanta. I am sitting here sipping hot chicken noodle soup, which is really hitting the spot. I have a bad sinus cold, and woke up with a pounding headache because of it. I am feeling a lot better now thanks to Excedrin. A friend picked me up this morning and we went to the store together to get food for our church’s food drive. I love shopping for things like this. I…

I’m a horrible person

I’m a horrible person

Lewis had been acting odd the last few days, so I took him to the vet today. Turns out, he has two bad puncture wounds from another cat in his neck.

once again, same old struggle

once again, same old struggle

I enjoyed a good year and a half or so of not worrying about my weight. It took about 8 months to lose my baby weight, but since then I have put it all back on again. I am now at the same weight I was back a few years ago, when I joined Weight Watchers and ended up losing 20 lbs before getting pregnant. Weight Watchers was really good for me, but this time I decided to try and…
