This one is for you, F.F.I.L

It seems that it has been a while since I've posted a line or two. I was asked by my Future Father-in-Law why I haven't posted anything.....answer is simple, I have been very lazy. I think I get that way when Eric isn't around. No one here to do things with, except for the dog. He doesn't talk much.

I have been out to California to see my new grandson. He is the most adorable little guy that I have seen in a long time. I got pictures to prove it.

Jarrid Layne Liles; The girls at work says he looks like me.

Baby boy sleeping with the blanket that Meme gave him.

Memere (meme) is the french word for grandmother. Both my mother and sister are giving me a hard time about being called Meme cuz we're not french. I went on the internet to find a name for grandmother that I think was appropriate for a young...er grandmother. But there aren't any that a little boy can pronounce. So we are sticking to Memere. Meme for short. My sister wanted to know why not be called nana? That still is a older sounding name. My mother is grammy. I just refuse to called anything but Meme. I am still young. Young, I say Young. Ok, denial is not just another river Egypt. But I am allowed. Aren't I?

As far as the diet goes. I am still on it more or less. More than less I suppose. I have been watching what I eat and drink. I drink plenty of water. Now that the weather is somewhat decent I go for walks with the dog.

But I think those walks are more along the lines of a "drag." The dog takes me on a "drag" instead of a walk. You know when you have a great big dog and he pulls so much that you think your arm is going to come out of the socket. Well, it's almost like that except my dog, Sargeant, is all but 5 lbs. (soaking wet) Yorkshire Terrier. These dogs have amazing strenght in their front legs. They were bred to hunt rats in foxholes so they had to dig. So that he is not being choked because he walks faster than I do, I have to walk a little faster which makes him walk faster, which makes me walk faster. Besides being tired after our walk, my right arm is now one inch longer. :) As far as weight loss goes.......drum roll please........a total of 12 pounds are now gone. Never to be seen again on this body.

This was a total shock to me. I didn't realize that I had lost that much until I went with the bridemaids to get sized for their dresses. After everyone was sized I decided that I would try on some wedding dresses myself. I saved the dress that I had picked out about 2 months ago for last. Showed them some dresses and then went to put on the dress that I had tried on before and it was too big. One size too big, yeah. Now I am happy that I had waited to buy the dress. I have bought my wedding dress. I guess there is no turning back now.

Eric is stuck with me.

Can't wait to show off the dress at my "October" wedding.
