so i have been absent. or rather, present:) soooo gooooood to have my baby boy home for a couple days, 3 to be exact:) so good to see him in his hip boots, riding on the four wheeler, pruning the fruit tree in the yard, fertilizing the pecan trees. so good feeding him king cake, pasta and meatballs. and humongous porterhouse steak. so good seeing him visiting with his family of fans. so good hearing that soft whistle traveling the airwaves in the house again. my daddy used to whistle like that :) so sad steph couldn't be in on it. but there's always next time:) he's safely back in his minnesota home tonight surrounded by his little family :) the perfectly pink camelias he brought back for me and mawmaw from the big house yesterday are sitting happily in their little glass jar on the bar and once again the airwaves around here are silent. sigh.
diet was compromised, of course. but not too detrimental. scale still as stubborn as usual. i really like greek yogurt...plain with a dash of truvia and a tablespoon of just fruit jam. it does a body good. and i get to lick the bowl when i'm done:) i have only a few days left until phase 2 begins....the next 17 days. i'm finding that making salad dressing from 1T. oil and 2T. vinegar is very liberating. there are so many variations that can be made with different oils and vinegars. and sometimes the addition of dijon mustard. i think i'll skip the salad dressing isle from now on. except for brianna's. that'll be a treat once i'm off the diet. tarnation, i still have no clue if i've lost any real weight, but i WILL persevere and see it through. darn tootin' i will.
