25lbs Lost and Whatever Else

Diet: I am so excited I have lost a total of 25lbs. I am so darn excited and feel so good all over. I do have to say I have had a huge craving for a pop lately and so last night I rewarded myself with buying a Pizza and Root beer no caffeine pop. I could have ordered a 2 liter when I ordered the pizza but decided to go to the gas station and buy a cup for that way I would not be tempted to drink the whole thing. I want to say I choose Root beer because it has no caffeine and I will never forget what it was like going through the withdraws of caffeine. That was horable.

Job Search: Lets see I went to a interview in Pendlelton and it went really well. I can only hope to get a job there and possibly move there. It would be closer to where Mom is moving to which at this point I need her.

Christmas Exchange: I guess I have Janet's family name and I'm excited. Funny thing is Janet your wreath that you gave me last year is still hanging on the front of the house. When I finally figured it was still hanging there It was half way through the year and so why take it down. I have Halloween web still tangled in the trees.

I guess Robert has my family and if you need a hint we would love pictures of your family! That goes for everyone I want pictures of all your families for my frames I have! I would like to fill up each frame. Each frame has 6 slots and so I have 5 of them so if each of you could send me 6 family pic's I would love it. It can be any pic of your kids or you or anything you have taken.

Mick: My relationship with Mick is going well. He is preparing to move down off the mountain after 17 years of living there year round. He rented himself a nice apartment on the top floor so when we go out on the deck it is scary for both of us considering were scarred of heights. Mick is also having a rough time with it all because he is not a people person and only comes down to town about every 5 days. He has stayed up there for years and if he was lucky someone would come by on snowmobile every 10 days. He did manage to go to the snow park by snowmobile every 2 weeks for food. That's if the person bringing the food could get to the snow park. He is so use to being alone I will just wonder how this will play out for him. Someone asked me the other day why don't I take the winter off and stay with him up on the mountain and I said because I would go nuts not having anyone to talk to but him. By the 2nd week I would have had to build my self a village of snowmen and go out and talk to them daily and they said well it would not be hard to move them for you could just roll them from place to place. For you that don't know he can not stay up there this winter because his health won't allow it. He can not maneuver his snow mobile anymore and has got sick to the point that there is no way emergency medical could get to him. Well see what happens this winter! The picture above is up at the Mick's cabin!

One Last Thing: Baseball does any of you ever watch Baseball? Well I never watched it till now. Mick is a huge fan of it and does not miss listening to it on the radio or TV. So one night I decided to watch a whole game with him and to my surprise I got into it so much I went home and the next day watched a game that was 5 hours long which is unusual. I am rooting for the Angels to go to the World Series. Mick taught me a lot about the game and was so patient with me with my 110 questions. I guess sometimes just taking up one of his greatest loves proved that Ya maybe he will keep me around another month or so.
