thoughts...

it wasn't really my intention to go missing, but then - i guess i haven't been gone all that long if you don't count the weekend...

today, i find myself wishing that stress burned calories - don't you? i mean - my cats shed fur when experiencing undue stress, why can't i shed pounds? mostly, i'd like to burn more calories when i'm stressed, because i'm stressed now - and i really want a snickers bar. *sigh*

but i've hit a new high (or is that a 'low') in my weightloss: 36 pounds. wooohoo. so i'll do my best to distract myself from the candybar in the next room that has been calling my name since 1pm.

family circumstances have made the last week a rough one for us. long, long story cut very short: matt's family needs prayer - and a lot of it. if you pray, would you please lift up - specifically - his parents and his sister?

and on top of that, my work situation... i have to make a grown-up decision today that i don't want to make regarding circumstances that i wish i didn't even know about. would you pray that i will make the right moral, Godly decision?

on the upside, we housesat this weekend for my mom to keep her cute, cuddly little guy company. remember him?

well, he's not quite so tiny now. but he's certainly just as playful. when i arrived saturday, he had pulled a curtain rod bracket (and the attached rod & curtains) out of the wall, unraveled a ball of yarn *all* over the living room, and laid claim to a little stuffed penguin made out of my grandmother's felted wool. sunday morning, after i finished baking my stepsister's birthday cake, he helped himself to several large bites of said freshly baked cake. (and my first instinct was to blame my stepbrother... sorry, andy!)

ok, i guess that's all for today. toodles.
