Fall is in the Air

It's been a long time since I have posted anything. I honestly don't know where the time went. Well partly I think I slept it away. Working these midnights is not a good thing. But for the moment I need to make the best of it. I am going to try and catch things up and try and keep up with this blog and just start documenting what has been going on in my life. Well here goes.

I am still losing weight. Its going slow now which I knew it would. You get to a certain point and it goes slower and slower. I am not complaining, this past year has been a very wonderful journey and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. Its always a different challenge daily to see what is going to fit and whats not. I really am going to have to get on the ball and get some winter clothes and shoes. Sandals and capris are not going to work when the snow starts to fly. I think I will be able to get through this winter with the coat I have. Its big but that will work so that I can wear sweaters/sweatshirts for extra warmth. Did I mention that the more weight I lose the colder I get. I hardly had my AC on over the summer because I was just fine with the air coming in. Now the humidity, well I can do without that.

I was able to go to two Nascar races this year. One in June with my mother and then another in August with my mom, my sister and my daughter. We had a wonderful time. I think I have my daughter hooked. She is even talking about going to Daytona for a race. WHOO HOO bring it on. I am up for that without a doubt. Both races we went to were in Michigan. The weather was beautiful, Hot, but beautiful. We had wonderful seats both races and I think we are going to try and get these last set of seats the next time. It is so exciting to be sitting that close to the track and feel the cars as they go by at 180+ mph. You have to be there to believe it and understand what I am talking about.

I have been trying to do some crafts for around the house. Not that I don't have a lot already but I am wanting something to keep me busy and something new to put around here. I seem to get this way when the fall season comes upon us. Maybe its just the cozy weather, all snuggled under the blankets and trying to keep my mind sharp. I have some new ideas floating around in my head and am going to try and work on all them.

I got to see my grandson on my birthday. My granddaughter and I drove out to his house and saw him. I had not seen him in over a year. But thats a story in itself and I hope it all works out. He is getting so big, so tall. Still skinny but looked wonderful. This year he is in 9th grade and Morgyn is in 11th so they get to see each other daily at school. That is a good thing and they both need that. Brothers and Sisters should be able to have a relationship no matter where they live.

I have been reading other blogs and have really been inspired by them. There are so many out there and most have some really good ideas. I love reading them and seeing what others are doing. Some make me laugh the moment I start reading, some make me cry in sadness and happiness, some are informational and some are just good reads. Who would have thought even 10 yrs ago what the internet would bring. It is amazing to me at times. But hey I am glad its here.

I am really going to try and keep up this blog as more of a journal of sorts. I think in many ways it will be good for me. Even if no one ever reads it, putting things down in writing is a good thing for everyone.

The pics are of me at the race in August, Morgyn & Kharson, and the 4 of us at the race in August (lt to rt-mom, lisa, amanda & me) I hope you enjoy.
