Making friends and dinner with Maddie!

I think this is what my dog thinks.....lol!

 It is only Tuesday and I am posting already. I really would like to get into writing more. I don't have an excuse for being so slack.  Well...maybe I do. Facebook. Before Facebook I posted everyday!  I spend WAY too much time on my computer. I asked papa the other day and he said "YOU? Spend too much time on the computer? You're not on it when you are sleeping."  Funny.

So Sunday I have to say....the Seahawks rocked it!  I wasn't sure they were going to pull it off.  Again....the last few minutes! I do love the Seahawks. I get frustrated but I've been with the team from day one. Papa didn't think they would pull it off. I reminded him about the week before...he reminded me about Tom Brady..... I reminded him about the #1 Defense! And we did it!!!!! Lanny I call "ye of little faith". They lay again Thursday night against the 49ers (who had a rough Sunday and will come out fighting). We don't get that channel!!!! Oh no!!!! I wonder if we can get it online?

Yesterday after Lauren got on the bus I went down to Kingston and met Nell Johnson. We chatted a bit on Facebook on Sunday and found out we had a lot in common. We are both close to the same age, both love the Lord with all our hearts, and have Andrew and Jael in common. She is Jael's mom. That is what drew us together... the homecoming dance pictures of the kids.

 So we had coffee for a couple hours! It was great. We have so much to talk about and we only touched the tip!!!  We want to get together once a week for coffee now.  We may have breakfast on Saturday too. I am thinking Big Apple Diner....thought about Oak Table in Kingston but it is a bit expensive for breakfast. I just checked out their menu. I am just excited to have found a new friend. I've lost so many friends through just drifting apart. Kind of sad. No, really sad.

Yesterday afternoon I picked up Maddie after school and we went to Stella's for dinner. I like that place....Maddie picked it. She has plain spaghetti with Parmesan cheese. She loved it and ate almost all of it. We talked a lot about school and how she was doing.  Proud of her!  And we talked about that cat!!!! I don't know when she'll come back to the house with a crazy and wild kitten living there. She loves animals but not when they jump on her or hurt her. And KitKat has NO MANNERS. I am figuring out he responds when I snap my fingers.

I am trying hard to lose weight.  A few days I walked which I am proud of. Need to exercise more.

I just need to take things one day at a time. I can do this. When I mess up.... i start over on the next meal.  I just need to get some exercise in.

Have a great week and i will try to stay in contact more!!!!

Here is Jael's latest video if you couldn't find it!
