"You Had Me At .Blogspot"

Hello, fellow bloggers!  I'm back!  I couldn't stay away.  And just when you thought it was safe to turn on your computers and all those other electronic thing-a-ma-jiggies that have sprouted up in the two years since my last post that I still don't know how to operate.  Actually, it took me 6 tries before I was able to access my blog.  I think I'm beginning to turn into my parents as I recall their reluctance at installing caller ID.

So what's happened in the past two years?  I won't bore you with the details but there's been extensive family drama, most of which was resolved yesterday as the Teen was accepted into a program we have all been praying for.  Also, I have put back all the weight I lost, plus some.  Shortly after I stopped blogging in 2010, I developed a nasty case of Achilles tendonitis from playing tennis which sidelined me for months while going through physical therapy.  However, I did notice that I had no such affliction in my fingers, hands or elbows which helped helped ease my distress by loading food into my mouth.  Where I once was at the gates of Onederland, I now find myself in Oprah territory (and I love me some Oprah so don't take that the wrong way - I'm just saying we're probably sharing the same size, altho regrettably, not the same income).

Blogging for me this time around is going to be a little different.  I've figured out that the whole weight loss deal for me is about 90% mental and the other half physical (thank you, Yogi Berra) and I have been wallowing a little too much at the pity trough.  So my goal here is to start looking on the brighter side of life through examples taken from every day observations.  Sounds like a set-up for "Punk'd", doesn't it?  And since I'm so fond of lists, I'll be numbering my posts, in no particular order of importance.  I doubt I'll be able to post every day but I aim for at least one or two a week (don't wear yourself out, Mama!).  I will also try to keep up with my old blogging buddies too.  See you Monday!
