Remember the class reunion, oh what almost 6 months ago now? I had this grand idea to publish a yearbook - and I anticipated huge sales, etc. Ha ha ha!!
Then lots of things happened, and I've still not finished the yearbook. But I am very close. I finally got most everything in - I'm just working on captions for the pictures now. I sure hope I can take it to the printer this week and get it back before Friday!! Then I will be done!
For sure I will be done with that project - I only have maybe two more until I can really retire. I've still got to finish the history project for which a hard deadline of May 31 has been set. That's good, because obviously for two years left to my own I've not made it a priority.
The only other thing I think is to write up a brief history of my side of town for a cookbook that is being published this spring and submit my recipes to her for inclusion.
Oh yeah, and pick out an apartment, pack, move and unpack, get both of the kids moved and settled. Not much to do between now say April 1? I'll never make that - I'm shooting for June 1 on the moves!

He Got His LIcense!
Well, we passed a huge milestone on Friday. My son passed the written part of the driver's exam on Thursday and was able to get an appointment for the driving portion on Friday, which he passed!! FINALLY!!!
He was difficult to teach, at best. His first statement to me in the van was "Don't tell me anything until I do something wrong!" To which I responded, "That won't work, I am a big woman and it'll take a crane to get me out of her if you turn me over in a ditch". Needless to say, there was more yelling and grunting than I'd ever experienced teaching Renee.
But, at last now he can drive somewhat legally. He has not been added to the car insurance - I don't think I can pay for an 18 year old male - but I plan on him getting a car I've lined up later this week and I'll help him get it started, but insurance will be up to him to pay.

Oscar Today!
Tonight is the Oscars! There has been a time I would have seen everyone of the movies being nominated - no more! In fact, I haven't seen a one of the movies that are nominated!
But, I will watch anyway. I like to look at the dresses, the hair, the jewelry and the shoes, especially the shoes! I always had a thing about shoes - kinda ironic to me since my feet are so messed up I can't wear anything but Birks - but I love cool shoes!
AND, Rob Pattinson is one of the presenters tonight. I'd watch if I hated everything else about the show, just to see him!

New Blog
Hey there constant readers!
Well, I stole that from my favorite author - Stephen King!
I haven't been posting much lately, too much going on, especially with my health.
That being said, I've started a new blog where I've documented quite a bit already about where I'm starting from and my recently diagnosed health issues. I plan to keep both blogs - I'm just so determined to make a difference in my life and want to share what I find that works (and doesn't) for anyone who may face some of the same issues.
You can check it out a www.pathwaytoahealtierlife.blogspot.com. There are and will be a lot of personal reflections, and for the first time ANYWHERE, I've actually posted what I weigh. That may be a major mistake, but I have to face it and hope that my struggle will encourage any or all of you to take control of you own struggle with weigh and related health problems before it's too late!
