Rare occurance- I'm bored!

Well, I can it's been a really long time since I've said that! I have things I could be doing but nothing interests me. I'm in a major stitching slump. I've not felt like stitching anything for more than a couple of weeks now. I started a few new pieces thinking it would help but it hasn't. Surely I'll snap out of that soon. Mike's working in California for 2 weeks, I'm sure that's contributing to my boredom as well. I've noticed that I have a lot more to do when he's here. The kids and I took him to the airport in D.C. on Saturday and we'll go back to pick him up late on the 7th. Boy I tell ya, one wrong turn coming out of Reagan National and you're going on a little journey. I don't know how I did it but I ended up way on the other side of the Pentagon. Anyway, he's in San Francisco now and will be there until Sunday. On Sunday he'll be flying to San Diego. This is the first time he's been to California. I'm really happy for him that he's getting to see so much but boy do I wish I was there! I am glad however that I wasn't there to go to Fisherman's Wharf with him. Seeing sea creatures hanging up ready to fry that were living only moments earlier is just not my cup of tea. I'm a lover of sea creatures, I don't consume them. Seeing the humongo squid hanging up that he was telling me about would have horrified me, I'm sure. The time difference between here and there is not working for me. We're on eastern time and he's on pacific right now. That makes it pretty hard to talk since he's working all day. I bet he's still got some serious jet lag.

Ordinarily if I was bored, I'd bake. I'm trying to not to do that because I don't want to eat it. I decided that I'd like to drop a few pounds so I'm lean-cuisineing it again. I did that a few years ago and along with exercise I lost quite a bit. I didn't gain it back (well if you don't count the wisdom teeth extractions, but that doesn't count because I wasn't trying to lose weight then. You eat next to nothing for a couple of weeks, you drop a few pounds...When I could eat again, I made up for it...lol) I'd just like to lose some more before the summer creeps up. I'm not a big fan of swimwear but I would like to feel half way decent in a suit. If that's even possible....does anyone ever feel good in a swimsuit? I didn't care in Texas because I never went swimming. I'm relatively close to the ocean here and plan to take full advantage of it. Speaking of those lean cuisines, they are not cheap! They cost much more here than they did in Texas. Good grief! Spending the $$ on them definitely makes you not want to cheat LOL! If I was loaded I'd do the Nutri System thing. Then they could just bring it all on and I wouldn't have to shop for it.

I tell you what I should be doing...painting. If only I was good at it. God blessed me with many talents but painting was not one of them....lol.

My mom and dad are coming early Sunday for a short visit, yay! This one will be really quick, they have to go back on Tuesday. We've all really had a hard time with adjusting to not being right down the street from each other. I wonder if there will ever be a time when they leave my house or I leave theirs that one of us doesn't cry. Sometimes I feel like such a baby but when you've had the same routine for most of your life and then it changes this much it's really hard. I really do like this part of the country, I just miss my family and friends soooooo much. I really am glad that Mike loves his job though. And I'm sure he's really loving it right now in sunny California....lol.

I need to blog more...I noticed I've been neglecting it a smidge.
