The ups and downs...

...or life keep us interested. Routine and habits may be great for keeping us on schedule but eventually there will come a time when you just get fed up with it all and need something drastic to change. Some will make this change to their surroundings by painting and redecorating their home. Others will make the change to their appearance with new clothes and hair styles. And then there are those who endeavour to change everything at once from the inside to the outside and they want it done NOW!

I think that is were I'm struggling right now with my quest to lose weight and get healthier. I'll have a big success and then start sabatoging myself and find things right back where they began. Sometimes I think I'm afraid to change my appearance because I already have my ideas of what people think of me. If I change how I look, I would then have to deal with wondering what people would then think of me. Being fat and single has always given me the 'well rounded' excuse why no male has ever been interested in me but if I get rid of my fat and my social life stays the same it means that there might be more than my appearance that is keeping me 30+ and single.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy being single and presently I don't want to get married. I think it is more a feeling of why isn't anyone interested in me than the issue of wanting to get married. There are a lot of perks to being single and since I haven't experienced the 'big' perks of being married I can't miss what I haven't had. (right?)

Well enough of my bogus thoughts for this week. Classes have started again and I have 100+ childrens books to read for preschool-3rd graders so time will be spent with the nieces and nephews as I try-out all the books. BTY a cool picture book author I found out about is Kevin Lewis. He does some cool rhyming stories about trucks, trains and dinos. The are great for preschool age.
