Sticky hot vs. dry hot

Spending a week in the dry heat at Lake Powell. The temps were in the 99-105 range, and while we were on an air conditioned houseboat, it was still pretty tolerable.
Now we are in 85% humidity and only 80 degress outside, and it is pretty sticky!

How do you get over a hump? is it midlife crisis, or is it depression (ppd?) or possibly something else. I struggling immensley, just to get out of bed every morning, I use all my energies on trying to be charitable, I know that if I lose myself in service then I will be pulledo ut of it. Instead I am so tired of trying to please everyone else. I just want to be taken care of. I want to have MY needs be the first priority of SOMEONE, my I am sounding like a pouty, pathetic, grumpy butt head.
just ignore me!

I am off to scrub more floors now.....

trying to keep my head above water.

Calorie counter delima

I have meant to lose the baby fat, he is nearly 9 months old, and my waist has not budged. not an inch. at least not in the right direction, so I consult with my dearest, most loyal friend, who has in the past 6 months lost 4 pant sizes, and she looks fantabulous!

So here is where she recomends I visit daily to see how many calories I have burned,and how many to intake:
www.calorie-counter.com

man cannot live on 1200 calories alone!

HELP

what a challenge, to be nursing a baby, and cut the intake to 1450 a day. I am going to have to be obsessed and have 'constant-vigilance'

How to release a cemented butt from the couch (or computer chair)




MY sweet espouse, has offered me many suggestions, as I am having a major lack of enthusiasm for living in this dingy duplelx. Rather than gettig out and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, I sit in the musty, stinky living room, and wish I was somewhere else, somewhere like this.....(OK not somewhere LIKE this, but here..)

Even though we moved from Alaska in April of 2006 I still have not changed the time stamp on my blog account.

This way I am seemingly an early riser, getting oh-so-much accomplished in a day!
(pat on back)

Getting to know carrotjello has been the ultimate hi-light (how do you spell that version of high light hi lite hy-lite??) of my year!
