Yippee Skippy

I have no idea how or why but I lost another pound this week for a total of 19 lbs! Holy shit. I will not ask questions I will just  keep going. 9 pounds till half way. Paid off my vacation I took earlier in the year and have plans of getting Paypall account paid within 1 month.  That one was actually huge due to rejoining and AORN (a nursing organization) my CEU credit for  certifying as a  nurse in the OR and other nursing BS. It was around $1000 plus Elaine's zoo camp and a couple pairs of special shoes that fit over her braces.  paypall is a nasty little choice made available to us. resist this one my friends it has high interest rates. it pops up everywhere  as a choice of paying too.  The debt is not all shoes! Believe me my closet is not full of designer shoes I just wish it was. Part of the goal is to get rid of credit card debt so I can buy nicer things- cash.

I was watching Fashion Hunters. A pretty cool new show featuring a high end "thrift shop"  One of the girls said 'let go do my 2 favorite things drinking and shopping!" I was like "no way those are my 2 favorite things too!" suddenly I was not all alone.  Ridiculous but worth mentioning.

I have been thinking and thinking about my next hobby. I do not think it is going to be comedy. That really takes too much time in  order to do it right. Maybe when I am on old  old lady. That is the good thing about comedy you can do it at any age. As I write this it pains me to say that so maybe that is not a done deal. I also miss signing. I think I may take a cooking class. In the spring I found a place that teaches  gourmet healthy cooking. Also I am still thinking about horse back riding. It is something I could do with Elaine as she gets better at it. A horse can take you where a wheel chair simply can not. Everyone thinks I am nuts but in my heart I know it could be a great thing for us as a family. If we bought a horse and donated it to the BOK ranch ( where Elaine does therapeutic riding)  they would fee board and shoe it. We would get to ride it whenever they were not using it for lessons and get a tax write off. The problem is we would need 2 that is abut 8K. My goal for this is when she turns 16 just over 2 years. It is a dream I really hope comes true.  It gets us out, together and seeing the world. I want this pretty badly so does Elaine. Her Dad thinks we are crazy. Right now it is just something I can use when she is being uncooperative " come here right now or no horse!"

Not so many challenges this week it should be a good one. Boring but good.
