Gradituesday - I

Internet - What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't list the internet? What a fascinating invention. The information it put at our fingertips is unbelievable! My best friends live on the internet and I would never have found them without it!

Ice – I don’t drink coffee but I still love my soft drinks. Summer or winter I love an ice cold drink.




Irises – I think irises are beautiful. A friend sent irises from ProFlowers.com when my mom died. I got them at home and their beauty brought peacefulness to the house.




Ipod – I love being able to have my music. Yeah I know that makes me old when I don’t listen to anything new but I like music from 1962 to 1975. I like some of my kid’s music so I can download a few of them too.



Islands – Islands are beautiful. Think Hawaii or the Bahamas; is there anywhere else as beautiful?






Indoors – I know how wonderful the outside world is but really I am an indoor person for the most part.


Ink pens – for all the typing I do I really love writing by hand. I am very picky about my ink pens. I go with pilot or uniball. These are the pens I use to do my art work.










Izod – I don’t really wear this brand all that much but I was just thinking about a friend who was sending her son to camp for the first time. She was fussing about being required to put his name in all his clothing. I remember her saying “I think it would be easier to just change his name to Levi Izod.”

On to the diet - I lost this week, about half a pound but I’ll take any loss I can get. I’m happy to tell you that Nick took Ronnie’s advice from last week and besides what I got Saturday night, he gave me a nice reminder with the hair brush before we headed to his mother’s for lunch.

Now the menu at Nick’s mom’s was pretty typical - fried chicken, country style steak, sweet potatoes casserole, carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, peas, green beans, crowder peas, apples, yeast rolls, biscuits, pumpkin pie and peach cake. Now remember she's 84 and there were 18 of us for lunch, like I said, the usual.

So do your see my problem with Sundays? Nick did help. Not that I could still feel the spanking by the time we had lunch but when he actually tells me not to do something – I mean point blank, I usually don’t do it. I still don’t snack in my chair since he told me not to almost a year ago. So when he told me not to do any snacking after lunch I didn’t. Don’t know if that will really make a difference in the long run but I usually am up a little on Mondays and I wasn’t today. Now just maybe if Nick keeps spanking and gets just a little bossier I may whip this weight thing yet.
