I tried to post earlier today, and it would not let me.  Said I had to pay for a subscription first.  Bologna!  I think it was just a glitch in the system, and hope it works now.

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long.  I have just been super busy and have not thought about posting.  I was reprimanded at Thanksgiving by someone who lurks here but seldom ever post for lack of a recent post.  Sorry, did not realize I had such a fan base.....LOL, yeah right!

Hockey is going well.  I am playing ice and inline with a great bunch of people.  Our website is officially up and running now, but they are still adding things to it.  The link is Southern Women's Hockey League .  There is still a lot to be put on it, but check it out and return and check it again in a few weeks.  It should be complete then.  There should be lots of great pictures of us playing on there soon.

My Mudbug team is having a tough season.  Lot's of new players, and they seem to be having difficulty playing well together.  I think if they were to win a few games in a row, they will be ok.  Hopefully.  Our next game is tomorrow night.  I have been talking to one of the players.  His name is Karlis Zirnis and he's from Lativia.  He's been here in the states since he was a high school exchange student, and has played pro hockey for about 6 years now.  He is a little younger than what I am looking for, but he's sweet and nice to talk to.

Andre is officially moved out now, and it is so nice having a clean house again.  Me and Colton are really enjoying our alone time.  The last 2 nights we have spent building a gingerbread house and then decorating it.  It was a blast.  We had frosting all over the place....lol. 

This weekend I will be going to my son Chris's house.  We will be celebrating Christmas with his girlfriend/fiance's family.  I still have 2 people to buy for, so we'll probably try to finish that up while we are there also.

Well, guess I need to get the kiddo to bed, and then prolly head to bed myself.  Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season.  I promise not to be a stranger on here.

I went to Austin TX this weekend to help kick off the new hockey season.  Me, Colton, and a girlfriend from my hockey league left at 4 a.m., drove the 6 hours there, hung out and visited attractions around the area. We checked into a hotel, went to the game that evening, partied until late with the other people who had made the trip there from Shreveport and some of the opposing team's fans, slept in the next morning, went and saw more attraction then headed home.  What a great trip it was.  We had so much fun, I can't wait until we can get another road trip in. 

The only downfall was that I had just had an adjustment that Thursday before, so was still basically a liquid diet the whole weekend.  But I have lost another 5 pounds since Thursday, so it was worth it!  I also met a nice guy there, and Austin policeman that was sitting in front of me.  We exchanged email addies and he had already written to me by the time I had gotten home last night and has emailed me several times today to see how my day was going.  It was quite the adventure.

Andre has not moved out yet, but his bedroom is now finished and furnished and he basically just has to get the kitchen and bathrooms cleaned now.  I personally think he is stalling, because he can't live with me, but does not want to live without me at the same time.  Who will do his laundry and cook for him after he's gone?!?!?

Well, time to go to home.....wahoooooooooooo.

TTYL!

Sorry so long since I have posted.  I have just been swamped with work, getting Andres's house ready for him to move into, and my newest thing, Women's Hockey.

I have joined a woman's inline hockey league, and wow, what a great way, and a fun way, to exercise.  I never sweat, but OMG this makes me wet and smelly when it's over at night.  What a workout .  I definately could never have done this 60 pounds ago.   I fell for the first time last night.  Actually I was hooked by another player (who had to spend 2 minutes in the penalty box) and fell face first onto the floor, and it was AWESOME!  You have so much padding on, you basically feel nothing.

My weight is stuck, but I am hoping this hockey will bump me into a new cycle.  I will be starting ice hockey probably within the next few weeks, so surely somethings gotta give.

I want to wish my sister good luck.  She will be having the surgery next week.

Well, think I will head to bed now.  Have a great week!

Hello out there.  Hope everyone has been well.  We are all doing well here. 

I have lost 2 more pounds since my last post.  Slow, but never a rise in weight, which is good I guess.

Andre is still living with us.  His house needs a few little things done to it before he can move in.  We painted this weekend.  He now has a yellow living room.  And I must say, it looks spectacular.  Looks like it was done by a professional instead of 2 amatures (sp).  Colton asked me why was I helping him.  I told him the faster we can get it ready, the faster he will move out......lol.

He has been so nice lately.  He even told the girls from work the other day when he treated us all to lunch that I was his best friend.  Guess it's better to part as good friends than to part as enemies.  Sure did not think 3 years ago when we came here that the road would take us in this direction.

But it's all good.  I know if I need something he will be there for me, and that's a good thing.  Neither one of us has anyone here to count on, so it's good that we can count on one another.

Well, let me get back to work.  Hope you all have a good week!

I'm still alive.  Still living with Andre.  The lady he bought the house from has not finished packing up yet.  He has not even attempted to pack or get anything ready for his move.  In fact, he has not even mentioned anything about the move.  It's like he never even bought the house and nothing has changed.  I know he better not be expecting me to do it, because that is NOT going to happen.

Today I stepped on the scale for the first time this week and had lost 2 pounds.  Woohoo.  It had been the same for about 2 weeks.  I am due up for another adjustment next week, and I think he will add a little to it.  My appetite is still pretty small, and sometimes I feel like something is stuck, no matter if I have chewed it 100 times.  I tend to want at times to vear to my comfort food, which is potato soup, just because is slides down so nicely.  I have even developed a recipe for homemade potato soup which is delightful, and has a whole lot less sodium than the canned products.

Well, it's time for me to head on to my house.  Wow, I can't wait until I can say that and it is TRULY my house.  Everyone have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. 

Later!

I finally told Andre last night I was not happy, and that I did not think we should be together.  We decided he would move into the new house alone, which we are signing papers on today, and I will stay in the house we have now. 

He could only tell me that I was the best woman he had ever been with, and that he was simply just messed up in the head mentally.  He wanted to know what he could do to change my mind, and I told him he was incapable of doing what needs to be done, which is basically just showing me some love and affection.  I'm not asking him for marriage, just want to be treated at least like a real girlfriend, and not his maid and accountant.

We are going to talk more tonight, but he would have to seriously show me a change, and not a promise to change, to make me change my mind, and I don't think he is capable of it.

I'll write more when I know more, but as of now, I am considering this relationship way past dead.

As you all know, my relationship here is rocky to say the least.  He chats all the time on the computer, often ignoring me for day at a time.  Well last week was one of those weeks.  We never spoke one word after he didn't get me anything nor did anything for my 40th birthday. 

We had an internet problem last week and had no service at our home for 2 days.  Turned out it was a stupid bellsouth technican that had unplugged us from the relay station to hook another customer up.  So he could not chat for 2 days.  Last Thursday he was asleep and he got an instant message on his work cell phone.  It simply said "Where are you?" from a Sandy.  So I messaged it back saying "Who are you?".  Never got another response. 

The next night he was sleeping again and in comes another message.  It said "Did you forget about me already?"  I then messaged her back saying "This is his girlfriend that he has lived with for the past 2 1/2 years.  I am sure he has not forgot about you, but he is asleep at this time".  She then messaged me back saying "I am so sorry, he never told me he had a girlfriend.  I will not message him any more".  I then messaged her back saying "It's not your fault.  He's the asshole here and the one at fault".  She has not messaged him again. 

He was very civil to me all weekend.  We even went motorcycling into Arkansas on Saturday.  Then Sunday afternoon he got quiet again ater chatting online.  He's not spoken to me since.  I am sure he ran into her and she told him about the messages.  But he has saying nothing to me about it.

Ok, that was was wicked evil deed.  Whatcha think?
