I'm still here....just been giving myself time away from everything to mourn my grandmother's passing. I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call her to say hi or referring to fresno as "grandma's home". It's slowly sinking in....

To get my mind off of things, I've also started working on one of my goals this year and that is to become a better cook (how that's going to work with my weight-loss goal? don't know!). We stopped by the bookstore and library...ended up with 6 different cookbooks & one photography book. I will be posting up pictures soon of my trials and erros. Until then....enjoy the summer days. They sure are rolling by too fast.

This song was played during the memorial slide show for my grandmother. Every time I listen to it......it takes my breath away.

Club Escape
"I'll Be There"          

over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there

in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there

Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry

Just think of me,
And I'll be there

You know that one slimquick commerical where the man diets and he gets stick skinny while the woman diets and she loses her boobs ? That's me ! I noticed this week that due to the weight loss my chest has deflated a bit. I'm finally able to button my shirt. That is huge for me ! Now if only my stomach will deflate too.

I am currently 2 pounds away from reaching my goal for the month. If everything goes according to plan there will be a nice shopping spree this summer. Can't wait.

People can't say it enough but drinkings lots of water really does help you lose weight...only problem is...you're going to the bathroom every 2 to 3 hours.

My co-workers probably think something's wrong with me.

It's suppose to be sunny and in the 50's to 60's this weekend. I'm going to soak in as much of the warm weather as I can. I know I sure miss it ! Most of the snow in our yard has melted already. ** Please god, no more snow !! **

I need a new blog site, not feeling xanga anymore. I'll still keep this account open but I need a new home. Got any suggestions ?

Birthing....

http://thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.htm

Have any of you heard of rikki lake's movie above or seen it ? I am rather interested now...as the husband and I don't exactly agree w/the birthing procedures/standards use in hospitals these days. I think it's very important for all of us to be more educated on what types of alternatives are out there and which one is best for us.

After I had my son, I thought to myself "why was all of this (diff types of drugs, tests, commotions, etc. ) necessary?". My mom birthed her children "naturally" back in the old country and never suffered any type of complications. I even have a cousin-inlaw (here in the u.s.) who was brave enough to home birth both her children with a midwive by her side.

One of my goals this year is to be more "green" or "natural" in everything we do from food, cleaning products,toys,clothes, to home remedies...etc..

Maybe I should put birthing on the list too.

 

*** Geez, can you tell how badly I've abandoned my xanga ? Will update it soon. ***
