new digs, reunited, and new gig

Happy Halloween 2010! Wow.. it has been a while. Well, I am glad to be back and am looking forward to writing a lot more. I am back at BSU and living in our old house in Muncie. So happy to be here, but even more happy to say that I am doing better every day. Tomorrow I am back on a move--- this time I am going to conquer my addiction to junk food and candy. I don't want to wait another week-- or another year hating my body. It is time to feel my emotions -- the good and the bad. Then, I will truly be free... I'll keep you posted:)

Next step

So after I started this blog I was suppose to purge myself of my bad habits, renew my energy and start taking care of myself and my needs. I am heading in the right direction-- not completely on target but working my way in a better direction. I went shopping a little and had my nails painted-- check it out. I liked them too. Afterwards I went to Target and then had some good coffee-- it was a nice evening before I headed home and did some detailed cleaning... sounds fun doesn't it?

Next I was able to pack up everything and head to mid-Missouri! I stayed with E Moore on Friday, we went to see the movie Babies (fabulous) and out for Thai. It was so wonderful to have a chance to relax and enjoy a little time together.

I miss the kids like a crazy-- it is funny how I really loved a night to myself but I wish I had been to crawl in bed next to them when we got home.

Next I am off to M.E.X. I wonder if I will ever become comfortable there again-- it is sort of creepy. I ran into Shanna Boswell outside Walmart and it was good to catch up with her. She told me that her daughter (Paisley 17) is a lesbian as the tears rolled down her face. I was the first person she has said that out loud to yet--- and we haven't talked in over a decade! You know we still aren't there yet when it is hard for people to say it out loud. I hope she calls me so she has at least one person to assure her that her daughter is wonderful, as is!!

OK.... Here is a picture from dinner......

It was awful, why are they smiling??? Thank god I live somewhere that at least has some decent food options:) I just watched Food Inc.... another reason to be happy about our exit from G.C.

Check out the vagina tree Stacey showed me in Mexico..... pretty funny huh?

I spent the weekend helping Stacey clean and organize-- not sure we made as much progress as I would have liked but I was happy to help and loved spending some time with her and her 4 vacuums!!!!

E Mooore was having her Memorial Day party and it was nice to hang with her and some friends. I didn't get to stay long, just long enough to sweat it up:)

Once upon a time....

There was a little girl who thought that she could do anything-- anywhere. Now, she is living in a shitty town, in a shitty appartment, teaching at a shitty school. Not only that but she is fat- uninspired and a toxic force for most of the people around her. Today that all changes-- I am going to document my path to recovery and peace. It all started here........
