Category: A Bit Of Randomness

This category is full of randomness that really doesn’t fit nicely into any of the categories having to do with my road to walking.

My Aunt Rita

My aunt Rita died four days after I turned eight and my Abuela died the November before, when I was seven. It’s only me now that I realize how difficult that must’ve been for my Mom. I have been using my pomegranate chapstick for a little while, anticipating Fall to come so I watched Baby Boom today because the reminds me of my aunt!!!

I vaguely remember being in my 20s and at a guy’s house who I don’t know anymore. He took a shower and told me to watch something on TV. I scrolled through the listings of what was on and Baby Boom was on, so I watched it. I remember when he came downstairs, he asked me why I was watching a movie that is made for middle-age women. I told him that it reminded me of my aunt because it absolutely does!!!

I’ve been having difficulties staying awake for long period of time I kind of dozed in and out in the beginning of the movie, but then she got to Hadleyville and I saw the Fall leaves so I was completely awake then.

I love this scene and my Mom and I talk about the fact that this guy is not good looking, but he also was Dolly Parton‘s husband in Steel Magnolias So that’s not too shabby:

I still like the scene, even though this is not my life at all. I think the best scene though is when she declined the offer from her former boss. My aunt Rita had a dress that she wore to Thanksgiving at my Abuela’s house that reminded me of this outfit. I remember it being more similar, but I guess it wasn’t:

The Werther’s Ffall flavored soft chews arrived today, but I’m not going to have them until after I get weighed. That will be on Tuesday. I got an email that my Target order is delayed, but that doesn’t matter because there are Mint Oreo cookies in there as well. I will have some of those!

My life is so small now but I think that’s okay as well. I will wait to watch Hocus Pocus and I will probably watch Stepmom in the meantime when it gets a little cooler. I have saved this picture in my phone because I remember taking it. I didn’t know who was holding me, but I remember that purple sweater I remember how she smelled:

I clearly remember having a conversation with my aunt Rita when I got pregnant and I was not married or finished with college. I promised her that I would finish and that I’m sorry that I disappointed her! We would talk about my future life often when she let me drive her car. I was young and I did NOT drive, but she let me hold the gearshift so I know how to drive a stick although I cannot. we would say this as we drove so fast down her street:

Daisy Applebottom

So, I saw this meme on Facebook today:

I started to laugh and had a plethora of memories from Barwis Methods!!! I posted it and tagged both Jesse and Adam.

When I listend to this song, I started to laugh and started to cry at the same time!!!

An inside joke from probably the summer of 2013?! Hilarious!!!

They know who Daisy Applebottom is!!!!!!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mild.

I just checked the weather like I am a farmer with 300 acres:

I must modify that statement for people who are critically ill. I check the weather all of the time to determine how I will feel.

I’m not thrilled with the rain that will come tomorrow night, but at least it will be mild. Finally!!!

On Tuesday, when I will leave the house, the high will be 66°. I think that I may wear my winter coat. I can’t control my body temperature at all anymore!!!

So happy that Paul finally coming, just in time for Hocus Pocus and the Cider Mill outing it will take place this year and October 23. That’s my Parents’ anniversary. I am going to eat two donuts!!!

Disney Princess?

Today was the first day of the year that I put the heat on. I started it up slowly and I put it to 70°. I wonder how cold it will be this year?

I was thinking about when I got my teeth cleaned. Sarah had red hair growing up. Currently, she has brown hair and she told me that she dyes it. I asked her why she did and that she should let her locks fly and she said that they are all white now. I told her that I have always wanted red hair! She told me that she was made fun of having red hair.

I told her that Judy was my hygienist before she retired. Then it was Kristen and now, it is Sarah. She told me that Judy trained her and she did not become a hygienist until she was 30.

I told her that Judy was mine and Lisa was Sean’s. She told me that Lisa once asked her who her Disney princess was. We laughed and I told her that mine would have to be Pocahontas. She told me that hers would probably would be Merida:

I told her that I loved that and Sean came with me to see that movie at the movies when it came out. He humored and me because he liked the popcorn and snacks.

I told her that Judy was Sean’s for a little while until Lisa was hired and then She was Sean’s and Judy was mine. Judy was also my Dad’s. I told her that she was a little rough, but we liked it. After I got my teeth cleaned, I will tell my Dad, “It hurts so good!” She laughed and said that her hygienist is kind of rough too. I told her that it’s nice to feel that you got your teeth cleaned! She agreed.

I think I may rewatch that movie. My Mom has never seen it.

Two Birds; One Stone

I went to the doctor today. It was my six month checkup. I got weighed before I saw the doctor.

I lost 10 pounds.

In six months.

That is concerning!!! I haven’t been doing anything differently!

I said that to Dr. Chamas’ nurse and she agreed.

Dr. Chamas came in and we had our polite greetings and then I blurted out, “I lost 10 pounds?! She responded with, “I see that.”

I haven’t been doing anything differently, just existing. She told me that she is not concerned because I still look good and I don’t look sickly. I guess that’s what my problem is. Is that going to happen to me?!

I have been chubby my whole life and so it’s weird that I’m not?! I really don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t think I like it.

This song popped into my head, even though it is completely out of season now that it is Fall:

I never really thought that that would be me, but it’s here now and I’m not sure what to do with it.

My Mom got to go to the doctor as well because we have the same doctor. She went for her annual as I went for my six month check up. We’ll do the same thing next year! Two birds; one stone, I guess?

Savannah, Dr. Chamas’s nurse, is pregnant. She is due in January. She is having a little girl and they are naming her Sophia. I was so excited to tell her that the next time I see her, I get to hear about her baby! I told her that I never had a girl baby! We both congratulated her a bunch!

ANOTHER Executive Decision OR Weird

Yesterday, after I got home from the doctor, I dropped my ‘bag-o-chastick.’ I use a regular tube of the flavor when I leave the house and I use up the bag-o-chapstick until it’s gone when I get home.

Because of this fact, I have made yet another executive decision! I am throwing this tube out on October 1, regardless if I am finished with it or not. Let me ‘Splain ya:

So, it’s wonky now. It feels weird on my lips. I have a movie to watch on October 1 and that is when I change over to Pumpkin Spice chapstick. I’m not going to sit through this weird feeling on my lips anymore after October 1.

Doozy

I thought I had successfully transitioned to fall weather. But with this little bit of a heat wave, I overheated today. it was definitely a doozy because I was by myself at the house and I just reclined in my chair and listened to Gavin DeGraw. I was in and out of consciousness for a while.

I had the Werther’s Fall flavored green apple caramel today. Actually, I had four of them. They were good!

I’m going to try the Pumpkin Spice tomorrow. I am having difficulty with my blog right now. I think it has to do with my vision. Hopefully, pictures tomorrow.

2 Servings

I did not overheat today. Thankfully! I did, however, I did have two servings of the Pumpkin Spice soft chews but I dug the green apple ones that I had yesterday, but I liked the pumpkin spice so much more! Still having technical difficulties with my blog, but that’s what I did today.

I will Allow it OR Not Too Much!

today, I tried the maple cream soft chew. I dug it. I was nervous. It was going to taste like syrup or that crazy overpowering Yankee Candle Company smell that I hate! I hated it growing up, for sure!

But, I will allow it. It tasted more Autumn than the green apple and even the pumpkin spice. I only had five today. I had three maple, one apple, and one pumpkin spice. They all have really cute pictures on each of them! I didn’t notice that before. I think this definitely will be something that’s going to make an annual appearance because I have already been weighed so I can be a little more relaxed with what I eat. But not too much!

Blog is still wonky. my capitalization errors bother me a whole lot! They have added new commands for AI, which is messing everything up for me.

Hint of a Scrape

I was supposed to call Bluehost today, but I forgot. I am having such a difficult time reading anything! Hopefully, I can get all this Meta stuff off of my blog tomorrow. I felt a hint of a scrap today for my Pomegranate bag-o-chapstick and then I can use the regular tube I have before I begin Pumpkin Spice on October 1.
