Weekend is yellow - not blue

Dear Blog:

I had a good week this week.
I talked to two friends for hours a couple of different nights this week. It is getting to be quite a thing for me to stay up to 11:00 talking at night. What fun, just like a teen again, laying in bed and talking to friends for hours on end. Thanks to my DBCGF/YS and to my DFL.

So started the day out sleeping late, which was great and dont feel guilty. Then went to the gym and walked 1 1/2 miles. I think I could have gone further but I didnt want to push it too much. I will do that for a couple of weeks and then bump it up again. I am ready to get past this next hurtle in the weight.

I had another episode with that same bottle of wine. I was on the final glass of it and the cork got stuck in the neck of the bottle. So I stuck my finger down it's throat and got my finger stuck. Now I could wrap the bottle with a towel and hit it with a hammer, but with my luck my hand would get cut and the neck would still be on my finger. So I decided to plod my way to the bedroom, lay on the bed, drink what wine I got out of it and then by relaxing the bottle would come off. Woo Hoo it worked.

I have called the winery to see if they can tell me who to uncork their bottles so I can drink the next one. The one that I just finished was a black cherry/chocolate. The next one is apple and citrus. Should be just as good.

Now I have a lazy afternoon ahead of me and have too much lazy things that I want to do. I made a CD for my DFL but I have another started and want to get the songs just right before I send it off. He said that he couldnt find a CD that he was knew he had and really liked the songs on it, so I found some of them and bought them for his new CD. I hope it doesnt take him 4 weeks to listen to this one like it did the last one I sent.

My music is blaring with the combination of tunes from Willey Nelson, Beatels, Ray Charles, Corinne Bailey Rae, Don McLean, Cyndi Lauper, Bon Jovi, Lenny Kravitz, Kelly Clarson, Hootie & the Blowfish, and many many more. I can get up and dance with any tune, sing as loud as I want to and no one is going to care. Freedom, is something that we all think we have in our lives, but when there is another person depending on you and living with you, the freedom isnt yours any longer. Your freedom now becomes a group freedom. You might say you dont care what the other person is doing or wants to do, and he may say the same thing about you. BUT truth be told, if you didnt want to listen to his type of music and he was playing really loud, you would mind. Freedom is a good thing but it sometimes gets lonely too. The human touch, the spoken word, the caring and the sharing and the loving have a lot to be desired - BUT maybe not on a full time basis.

So, Dear Blog, I am closing for tonight with a smile on my face and sunshine in my eyes and hope in my heart.

Prayers still go out to all of my family - and you all know who you are.
