Well, it really has been a long time! I am doing more now than I was last May. I am still trying to keep my weight down and lose some, but it's just as hard as ever. My partner keeps saying that I look thinner. And maybe I do, but I still weigh 230 pounds!
I started something new about a month ago. I took a class in pastels. I met a wonderful person who turned me on to my new art love, pastels! I am taking a class at the North Shore Art League on Monday's from 1-4pm. I am learning new and exciting things about my art skills.
My Spanish has taken a back seat, but I still am trying to incorporate that into my life. Hola!
I've been cut off from my sessions of Rosetta Stone, so I am waiting for a new program to be presented to me through the library. I will continue to work on my language.
Well, not much else going on, but I am excited about my art and working to expand that career possibility.

Still working it!
Wow, its been awhile since I last wrote. Time just slips away.
Well, where do I start? Let's start with the diet. So far, I am doing well, but have slipped a little. I am eating a little bit of chocolate and some of the things that were making my stomach go flip flop. The reason being is that I went to the doctor for a check up and started on some medication to help my acid reflux. It's working, but how long will I have to take the stuff. Then when I least expect it, I have other problems with my health and now I am going to all these appointments which have been nerve racking. I just hope there isn't anything seriously wrong. That would suck! I had a cat scan of my kidneys and tomorrow I will do another test on my bladder. The scan came out okay, except now I need to talk to my interest about my spin. I also was put on high blood pressure meds. This is starting to sound really pathetic!
I go next week to have the doctor update me with my blood pressure. I checked it and its down with the meds, but my heart beat is much faster. HUMMM.........now what? Never a dull moment.
Anyway, waiting patiently for the okay to do the art fair. Will know after the 25Th whether they excepted the application to be in it. Not much time to prepare. So, I am thinking what will I do to get ready for it.
I am still working on the Spanish, donde esta perro? Or, where is the dog? Me perro en su casa! My dog is in the house! I think! Anyway, still working on that too. Well interesting there are no comments on my blog. I guess it's not that easy to attract attention.
Well, gotta get going and put together the dinner!

Sunday Brunch
Today I cooked a fantastic Sunday brunch for 15 of our friends. We served Mimosa's and Quiche with lots of other great side items. Like a strawberry spinach salad, bagels, muffins and a fresh fruit salad. Everyone ate and drank and had fun!
The best part was the cooking. I just loved it. I really have never cooked a quiche and I also made a strata. The worst part was when I went to put the pies in the oven, I spilled some of liquid and it started to burn and smoke up the house. But, I was able to clean up the spill and clear out the house in a about 10 minutes without the smoke alarm sounding.
Still sticking with the diet and learning my Spanish.
I will continue to work on getting myself together. I want to start something new, but nothing has worked so far.
I am planning on doing an art fair on June 16th to try and sell some of my watercolors. I got good response from people today regarding my work. I know if I price it right, it will sell!
