Not too Hideous, all things considered

To steal a line from Jank, “Forgive me blogfather, for I have sinned…” But like the title says, I feel like I did pretty good. I forced myself to sit down and write that letter to my dad. Ouch. Plus hub had to work late, so gym was postponed until tonight. So: emotional upset + sitting home alone = disaster, right? Well, not really. Yeah, I had 2 beers and some taco chips. But that’s it! No drive into Sonic for cheese sticks (Yes, I drove by – but didn’t stop). And god knows I wanted some cheesy Mexican mess for dinner, but I had a healthy meal at home instead.

Emotionally, I feel shaky rather than strong right now. But I think a relaxing weekend at home with my family should help. I think the phrase “time heals all wounds” is a load of crap. But you know, I’ve dealt with parental rejection as a child – it should be easier as an adult. Family shouldn’t be this hard – why is it for so many of us?

Leg day is getting a re-tooling to make it more kick ass, but my 2 upper body days are in good shape. I work shoulders on both arm days – they are getting really solid.

Not only did I order new workout CDs from DJ Ajaxx, but I ordered the CD single of “Omnibus” – I swear, Germans make some of the best music. This piece was MADE for spin class. Do they have spin classes in Germany Jack?

The Tour Baby!

Starts this weekend. God, seems like yesterday I was watching it last year. The tivo is set!

Two beers and taco chips do not a transgression make.

Family's tough ... But they're still there. The first and last lesson in getting along.

Good luck for the weekend! I know I'm going to miss watching the sky explode with fireworks bought just outside of city limits!

Good for you for writing the letter. Is it something you keep or something you send?

Mmmmm, beers and chips!

I've survived almost two weeks with no beer in the house and am starting to go through withdrawl;) "...time heals all wounds..." I have an old friend who always says "...time always brings new problems so the old ones don't seem so bad anymore...". Hmmm....
