Looking forward to the weekend

Has our summer gone away already?

Can’t there be a happy medium around here? 102 degrees one week ago; today the high is something like 72 with overcast skies. Oh well, we can’t do anything about the weather except complain. It’s never exactly what you want it to be. At least I’ll be able to work outside tomorrow.

So, I’m trying to figure out something. I was so down when I posted last Monday, then all of a sudden I’m okay. I’ve been feeling good and upbeat ever since Tuesday. I’m even not currently hating my body so much. I’ve been enjoying working out at Curves, and today I’m taking B for our big walk (since it’s not too hot). My food has been really good since Tuesday, and without any effort. I feel happy and peaceful inside.

I just wish I could figure out how to keep this mindset…I think hormones play a part in whether I'm up or down, but I don't think that's the whole story. Hmmmm. Wonder wonder wonder...

On a completely different subject, I’ve been thinking about selling some stuff on eBay.

I tend to be a compulsive spender (yes I’m compulsive about MANY things, not just my weight) and I accumulate clothing that I wear once (or even never) then I don’t like it anymore or it doesn’t fit quite right. Oh, I'm not to the extent that I need to be on Dr Phil, but I do spend more than I should or need to.

Anyway, I absolutely love eBay and have bought many items there; and I've sold a few things too. But in order to sell anything, I used to have to have hub take the pictures since I didn’t know how to work the camera. Now that I have my own camera (on my Blackberry) I can take pictures of everything myself! So this seems like a positive way to spend some time, make some extra money, and it will be fun too.


Well, I need to get ready for our walk. Have a great weekend!

  1. Never bought or sold on EBay and really don't even know why. Have a great weekend yourself.

  2. I put this on my comments but then I thought you might not see it....

    Graciela, sweetie, he NEVER ever declared anything about love. He did not even dedicate the song to me. He just shared that the lyrics were the most beautiful he'd ever imagined hearing. Trust me, my eyes are WIDE open. I am aware of the dangers of the "too much too soon" type. I prefer to think that he is just ultra positive and I am going to go on that ultra positive vibe as well.

  3. Congrats on not hating your body... progress always seems slow in the moment, but you'll get there.

    I *completely* understand your eBay obsession... I buy craft supplies from eBay like they're goin' out of style.

  5. Well, another thing we have in common. I'm a compulsive spender too. It's not something I talk about much because it's embarassing, but I do it too. Always buying junk and then never use it and wind up giving it away. Makes hubby crazy.
