Wow, I had another very productive weekend! On Friday we had our usual EQ2 game time, but we actually went to bed a little early so that we could get up on Saturday morning. Our community had a Volunteer Day where a lot of people got together to plant monkey grass and knockout roses in front of the townhouses. It was a really beautiful day, and we even got to work out in the shade. After working out in the yard in the morning, we went to a big lunch (too big) buffet and then came home for a short…

Yay! This post is my 100th post on the Sweetie Chronicles!! After a rough start with sticking to a blog last summer and fall, I am really proud of myself for being consistent with TSC and keeping up with my posting. Thanks to those of you who check back daily and actually give a crap what I have to say everyday. Woohoo, 100 posts!

I was watching American Idol last night and right there in the middle of the episode was a commercial for the 2009 Toyota Camry. 2009??? Are you seriously trying to tell me that the 2009 vehicles are already on sale in April?? Okay, so G looks over at me and says “Sweetie, it’s always been that way.” Has it really? I mean, I can remember the following year’s car coming out in the late fall and car dealers having commercials that said “This is the year end sales event! We’ve got to make room for all of those brand new…

I have definitely reached a point where being sad or upset about my past has gotten old. This whole not having self-confidence is a bit old too. Why did I let someone else take so much away from me? I really have to get over it, you know? Enough already! Part of what gets me when I start to think about my past is this feeling of “Why didn’t I take advantage of _____ when I had the chance?” (Insert whatever into the blank. e.g. sleeping in, being young, my freedom) Or realizing that I didn’t live to my fullest…

Have you ever watched the show “Deadliest Catch” ? It comes on the Discovery channel and is a documentary style series about crab fisherman. Now, before you start thinking that it’s going to be like watching bass fishing or something boring, you should really give it a chance. I would have never in a million years turned on the show if it hadn’t been for my brother, who is fascinated by it. Last year when I lived with my brother for about six months, we used to sit up together and watch it. Part of its charm may have been…

Tomorrow is the community yard sale here at our town homes. I am just going to pull everything out tonight that I can think of and stick tags on all of it. I am determined to get rid of everything, even if I have to sell a $100 item for ten cents. I just want it gone. The time has really come to purge our house and my life of all of these things that I got when I married J and things that he purchased or gave to me. It will feel so good to let it all go….
