Summer's here!

Ah... summer is here and I am in LOVE! Not with the hot weather, of course, but in love with being able to stay home with Julianne. It is so nice to be able to spend every day with her! I did have to take her to Sammie's house today while I went to tutor some boys up in Alaqua, but it was only for a few hours. It did suck leaving her, though - in the past 8 days I've really become accustomed to spending all my time with her! She's definitely becoming more attached to me, which is wonderful (albeit slightly annoying). Friday we're going up to Longwood to spend Father's Day Weekend with Mom and Dad and Tiger's coming in Friday night, so it will be a nice little family weekend.

Saturday is going to suck a bit, though. Mary Goulet passed away last week rather quickly and her memorial service is Saturday morning. We were going to go to the beach, but this is far more important. Mary's husband Clyde asked Mom to do a reading at the service, so she agreed. I don't like funerals and memorial services (who does?) but this one is important to go to. Mary didn't have many friends and Dad and Clyde are good friends, so it would be a huge slap in the face if we didn't go. I'm hoping that Julianne will help lighten the mood a little bit. As long as she behaves herself, that is.

I started Weight Watchers on Monday, and I have to admit that I'm rather enjoying it. It's easy to do when I'm home during the summer- it's a lot harder when I'm working. You'd think it would be harder being home around food, but for some reason, it works for me. I want to lose 22 pounds by the time school starts in August, and I know I can do that. I've done it before, and I will do it again, as long as I stay on the plan. Who knows? Maybe this will be the time I stay on the plan for good and lose all the rest of this weight! I want to lose it all - I am so tired of only being able to shop at two or three stores in Central Florida. I want to be able to fit into regular size clothes - ya know, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large. I also want to find a husband and have more babies! ;-) I know I can find someone who will love me for who I am as a larger woman, but I know it will be easier if I lose the weight and get into shape. I also have a goal of running a half marathon - maybe not running, but jogging/walking it. And it's not an immediate goal - just sometime in my life, I want to do the Disney Half Marathon. The idea of running all that way is so foreign to me, but I want to do it, and I WILL!

Anyway, I suppose that's it in the way of news. Julianne is doing wonderfully - Mom and Dad set up a kiddie pool on the porch and she enjoys splashing around it. I can't wait for Mom and I to get her in the big pool and let her kick and swim! It's going to be a good summer!
