MEN!!!! GRRRRR!!!! I told my boyfriend over a week ago that I think his computer has a virus because I kept getting odd emails from him. He kinda brushed it off, even though I received one of those emails while I was with him so he knew he did not send it himself. Well, yesterday he called me and said "Don't open emails from me! I think my computer has a virus because the guys at work are saying they are getting strange emails from me." DOH!!!! He then goes on to say that it must be MY fault since I am the only other person that uses his computer (not true! His son was here from Georgia just a week ago or so!). He kind of likes to go on the porn sites for girlie pics he also uses lime wire. He is forever searching for sites to give him the winning numbers for lotto. All places one would likely find a computer virus. Oh well.....

On to a new topic: My front lawn was more mud than grass. The dirt was packed so hard that it was almost as hard as concrete. So I loosened the top inch or 2 and planted new seed. I should have added some topsoil because the dirt is really bad, but I rent so don't want to invest a lot to make improvements. I have to fertilize next but it's been raining so I guess it has to wait.

I've been dieting lately because at 5'6" and 210 lbs, I am obese and that extra weight isn't helping my aches and pains. I've been using Slimfast shakes. One in the morning works well since I am not a breakfast person and I hear eating breakfast helps to lose weight by not making your body feel like it needs to store fat because of starvation.Then I may have a snack at some point, then dinner, which I have already been working on making healthier. And, finally another shake or snack before bed. So far I think 've been down to about 190 but I'm not sure how trustworthy my scale is. The exercise part is the hardest because of the pain, but I use the Wii fit and then there is also the yard work I've been doing. Also, whenever possible, I don't ask the kids to carry the laundry for me. It's extra pain, but I think if I can lose the weight, it will be worth it.

And, finally, something so great!!!!! Yesterday morning the 11 year old whom I usually have to really hound to get out of bed and get ready for school, got up BEFORE I even had to say a word!!!! AND she got dressed and ready for school without me having to even tell her one time to get ready!!!!!! It made my day and I told her so!

Well, past time to start the morning thing again. Hope this morning is as good as yesterday.
