Fun in the Summer

I have started the ball rolling and the CHANGES are in place. My last blog was about needing to make changes. Since then, I have lost 24 pounds, and I have filed for divorce. Life has changed so much! I have tried to not get in a rut, but grieving has a way of immobilizing you until you’ve had ENOUGH…I am ready to branch out a little, here and there.
I am planning on doing more things with my girls, by myself, or with friends. I even went out on a yacht on the ocean with a coworker (and about 50 other people)! I’ve never been out on the ocean, seeing as I can’t swim (note to self: learn how to swim!). I attended a beach event where another coworker’s band (he’s a drummer) was playing. I had alot of fun. I went to the movies (rarely go) to see Captain America, the last Harry Potter movie (moment of silence, please)….
I know these things might not seem much, but for me, who is a homebody and doesn’t like to go places, these are HUGE accomplishments! I plan on doing more of this in the future, and am looking forward to it!
I watched a movie yesterday, Julia and Julie…about a girl who blogged about cooking recipes from Julia Child’s cookbook. Maybe I can do the same thing? As in: Go different places, take pictures, and blog! This will definately help me get out of the house more often if I can blog about it! Will think on this and get back to you!
I was doing PROJECT 365…where I took a picture a day, uploaded it and blogged about it. When I started getting stressed about the ending of my marriage, the project fell by the wayside. It got to be too much. I will definately pick it up again…i might upload just my favorite pics from the days that I missed so I don’t get overwhelmed.
take care and see you soon!

I am glad that you are back to blogging again.
We should look at things to do, that you have not done, in SC County and pick a place to go to once a month. It’ll be our splurge of the month. Well, in actuality it shouldn’t be considered a splurge … it’s something that you should do for yourself that is a MUST DO! We don’t need to go out and eat…we can go out and make memories and bring a picnic and save money in that arena since there will more than likely be the four of us girls. Five if you count Danny and six when James gets here. I have 3 picnic baskets and a picnic blanket that we can use to cover the food department and we should really remember to make time to eat before we go anywhere!
If anything, I think our “splurges” should be the movies! How fun has it been to go lately? I have really enjoyed it! We’ve gone to the movies 3 times this summer, that never happens! (Transformers, HP, and Captain – oh my goodness, he’s so hot – America.)
I think that you can use this blog as a way to document your new life. Who knows maybe you can be an example to others who have been dealing with the same stresses lately.
Keep up the great work, Ma!
