Someone help me shake these bad thoughts

Why do we want to do bad things to people who do bad things to us. As Honey says, "It does not accomplish anything". So true...but wouldn't it make me feel better for a few minutes.

I do believe in Karma!! So I hope Karma comes around soon. Everyone say a prayer that I behave myself.

Family

Why do extended families have to be so difficult? I am going to be perfectly honest and say I am ashamed of the way I treated my sister-in-law while we on vacation in Belize. I had had a bit too much to drink on the day before we were to come home and I guess she had pushed my last button. Jan is a very unhappy angry woman and takes about 20 oxy-codine a day and drinks on top of that. That does not excuse the way I acted...it was just wrong...the things I said. My Honey and I were having a disagreement and she stuck her nose in because she thought she heard something I did not say. When I tried to explain it to her she slammed the bedroom door in my face. Needless to say, I went off on her. I apologized to her that night and sent her an apology via e-mail when we got home. I did not hear a word from her until late Saturday night. When I got up on Sunday, Honey sat me down and said that Jan had sent me an e-mail and that it was mean, nasty, and viale. He asked me to not read it and to just delete it. I did. It still hurts that someone would write mean and nasty things to me. And yes, I am curious as to what she said but I promised so I will not read it. I will tell you that I did read the e-mail that my Honey sent her. It brought tears to my eyes. This man, I love with all my heart, totally told her that she has not changed and that her tongue is still as sharp as it always as been. He told her to leave us alone. See...he has not had a relationship with Jan for the past 15-20 years because of her horrible mouth and temper (that and she stole jewelry from his then wife). She was back in his life because I extended the olive branch and invited her to his 60th birthday. Anyway, I feel badly and I am truly sorry for calling her a f***ing Bitch but I don't think it warrants the way she has continued to treat me. Oh well...what is that saying, "You can pick your friends but you cannot pick your family". Oh so true. I am blessed to have the family I do have (and oh believe me, we have had our ups and downs) and even more blessed to have the friends I have.

Thank you Nic for talking me through a lot of this last night. You are the only one who I shared the e-mail with and you will be the only one who gets to see it. Sorry about that sweetie. Please please don't share it with anyone. I still cannot believe I sent it without reading it. Wow, what determination I have...haha. I will forward Honey's response so you can see what he said. He loves me!!

I just needed to get that off my shoulders. I know I am not perfect, but I try :)

What was the number 1 song the day you were born?

This is very funny!

Hope this makes everyone laugh!

"Marley & Me"

Honey and I decided we wanted to see this movie. I had read the book and thought it was really good...even passed it along to several friends.

The movie is a bit slow but gave some pretty good laughs in the beginning. We could kind of relate to Marley since our Jack is (or I should say was) a bit similar to Marley. Jack could take out a bag of food in 10 seconds flat if allowed. We would put his bowl food down and he would literally inhale it in about 3 seconds. As he has gotten older he has slowed down a little. We still have to seperate the dogs so that Sonny can eat his food in peace. If Sonny even acts like he is going to walk away for a rest Jack will jump right in and finish it for him.

Back to the movie. The end...oh my goodness...it is a 3 hanky ending. Honey and I almost got up and left. We saw what was coming but there we stayed...clued to our chairs, crying our eyes out. Made us come home and hug our boys as tight as we could. I'm not sure I would recommend this movie. It was cute, but slow and just too sad. I would highly recommend the book.

Hate Hate the grocery store.

Just got home from the grocery store. Spent $250.00. It is expensive to plan meals out for the week and try to eat healthy. The good news I have been doing this since the first of the year and Honey's blood sugar has come down quite a bit. I am very excited about that. We have also been hitting the gym at least 3 times a week which makes us feel much better.

I have been following some meals out of the "Flat Belly Diet" Cookbook. Most of the meals I have prepared have been pretty tasty so far. Some are quick and easy and some are quite time consuming. They even have some tasty dark chocolate recipes...yum, yum. I am a total sweet fanatic.

If it makes us a bit healthier I will try to keep this up but man do I hate the grocery store.

Thank you Nicole!

I haven't posted in a while since my previous blog went crazy on me and I could not get into my own blog. Nic (http://chroniclesofni.blogspot.com) was kind enough to set up a new blog sight for me and is holding my hand through getting things posted. THANK YOU NICOLE...I love it! You are a good friend. I hope not to be too much of a pain with tons of questions.
