I can remember as a child thinking time moved so slowly. It seemed forever before school was out and it was summertime. It seemed forever for Christimas to come around again. It seemed forever before I was 16, 18, 21. Oh, now to have time move that slowly again!! Now I feel like I blink and it's another week, month, year. It's just two short weeks before my birthday. The big 4-0. I so do not feel 40! Well, at least in my mind I don't. =) It seems like this year has sped by. It's about half over and I feel like it just started.
So what's been happening since my last update: I lost 10.8 lbs in June. The last couple of weeks I have been hovering right around the same weight. Up a couple pounds and then back down. I hope to break out of this mini plateau soon. It's steady going. Even though I feel like the weight came on overnight and wish I could lose it that way, I know it didn't. Just gotta keep going on.
Cozumel Cayman Islands Jamaica
As I mentioned, I have the big 4-0 coming up. Well, my mom has the big 6-0 on her next birthday. So to celebrate that, I'm taking her on a cruise for her birthday. It's something she mentioned she wanted to do, so we're doing it! I made the deposit on the cruise this week. We're set to go January 31, 2010 out of Galveston for 7 days. We'll see Cozumel, Cayman Islands and Jamaica. In fact, we'll be in Jamaica on her birthday! We've got a little over six months to get ready for the cruise. It sounds so far away, but it'll be here before we know it. If anyone else is interested in going, let me know. I got a pretty good deal through a travel agent. I mean who wouldn't want to stand in the ocean or lay on the beach in January??
As for my birthday, I don't think I'm going to do anything. I really don't want to think about this birthday at all. There was talk of a girls trip to Vegas, but that fizzled out. And it's just as well. July/August is always tight financially for me because I have to renew lots of my court reporting stuff; software support, machine support, organizations, conventions. Why does it all have to come due at the same time?? LOL But, I am not going to totally let this birthday go by. I think (almost positive) I'm going to buy a big screen TV for myself. I know I'll use it. LOL I'm just trying to convince myself it isn't a totally frivolous expense and I shouldn't do something else.
Let's see. I guess that's about it. We do have lots of birthdays this month. Ashley, Brad, Ron, Mark, and me. Plus, I'm sure there's a couple I forgot. So Happy Birthday to everybody!!

Yes, I would love to lay on the beach in January! Can I come in your suitcase? I don't think a big vacation like that is in the budget right now, and that's if Joe could even take the time off!
