My Own Thoughts

This book is from the Quantum Leap series, but don’t let that scare you off if you weren’t a fan. I was looking for a fun book to read and found this one. I actually read it in the bookstore (I read fast.) and purchased it after I finished it. The story is about a [...]

Review from a disappearing site: “Mariel thought she was the guardian angel of an ordinary boy–until the night an army of fallen angels took an unholy interest in her charge. Overcome by an angel prince of awesome power, Mariel can only watch as an even greater terror descends upon Christopher’s home, then vanishes with him. [...]

MW E goes to alternative classes for math and science. M and I work on his school work at home. TR I teach in the afternoons at the local community college. Fridays M and I go to “Super Friday.” It’s three hours of classes for kids that include fun things like art, music, and crafts. [...]

My brother has recommended many books, most of which I don’t want to read. I am presently, however, reading Planets of Adventure by Murry Leinster. Lost on a planet that was ecologically prepared with fungus and insects 2000+ years ago, the descendants of a spaceship are dying out. The insects are huge, monstrous, terrifying. The [...]

It is a beautiful day. Despite the voracious mosquitos who are using me for breakfast, the cool morning air, the light breeze, and the variegated greens of the trees make this a gorgeous morning. Sitting outside with the dog, I have the time to enjoy the morning. She’s a sweet thing, but she likes company. [...]

Twelve weeks today. I weighed in at 158.6 here at home. That’s 27.2 pounds down from 12 weeks ago. It is not, unfortunately, anywhere near where you are supposed to be by now. Although they say I’ve lost 31 pounds, because they are counting from when I came in the first time. Which was the [...]

159.2 again this morning. The good thing is, it’s not up. The bad thing is, it’s not down. However, I didn’t quite get all my water in, so that may be part of the problem. I missed 10 oz. I would love to actually keep losing weight. It would be so much fun to get [...]

Plastic today had an article asking what you intend to be reading that you aren’t yet. It also starts with the premise that # of bks read per year x # of years in life expectancy = depressing. E reads 6 books a week x 52 weeks x 70 years = 21, 840 more books. [...]

159.2 I have now lost 26.6 pounds. In less than 12 weeks. Of course, the problem is that QWLC is $45/week to add weeks. There’s no way I’m going to lose the next 14.2 pounds, my true goal weight, in the next 4 weeks. It just isn’t going to happen. Well, okay, stranger things have [...]

I have been on this for 11.5 weeks. That seems like a reasonable time to review. Of course, I really just want to review, so I am going to do it. I’ve lost 25.8 pounds in 11.5 weeks. On BFLI lost ten pounds fairly quickly and then slowed down to about a pound a week. [...]

160.0 this morning, despite having cheated the whole weekend. On Friday I had quiche with ham and cheddar for breakfast. I had two bars for lunch. (You’re only supposed to eat one a day.) For dinner I had chicken with oil, rice, and egg noodles. On Saturday I had beans, beans, and beans. Along with [...]

I weighed in at 161.4 again this morning. This is my fifth day at right around this weight. But I also started my period, so that may have something to do with it. I hope so. I would hate to think I’ve stalled out. I have only had 10 oz of water today and it’s [...]
