Girl Stuff: February 2007 Archives

Umm ... You know how supposedly sex is the most wanted 'gift' by men for Valentine's Day? Mother nature came calling at my house the day before. I know I am not alone in this because I read too many blogs yesterday with this mentioned somewhere along the way. Mother Nature has a very un-funny sense of humour at times doesn't she? So I am betting that a great number of men did not get what they most wanted for Valentine's Day in one way or another. Ha! *****Steve did ask me if I wanted to have the flowers tomorrow. He was thinking pink tulips. The thought means so much more than the flowers themselves. No, I don't need the flowers now. Thak you for wanting to give them to me. *****Yesterday, since the arrival of Mother Nature I have been wanting to eat the house down. Did not matter what and still doesn't matter. I want to shove food into my mouth. I lost the battle with my willpower last night. Steve and I shared a bottle of wine with our dinner. It made me tipsy. Not drunk. Just tipsy. It took the edge off of my mood. It made the craving disappear. It made my mood light and fun. I have no idea the carb count. I don't really care at this moment. It was fun while it lasted. I hope to do better today. But yesterday - OMG. I was coming apart at the seams. Everyone was home due to the ice. Everyone had been home the day before with the promise of everyone also being home the following day. The noise and the irritability especially in Gracie, the restlessness, the PMS-ing, it all began to close in me. I could have easily gone insane late yesterday afternoon and went running off down the ice covered roads screaming like a mad woman. Instead we drank the wine. It was good. Today I climb back in saddle and try to hold the reins on the willpower. Wish me luck.
