Chugging Along

I am back.  I need a small break and actually tried to blog yesterday except blogger freaked out and deleted my post.  Argh!  My best friend is doing alright and thank you for your kind words.  It hit at home and made me think and appreciate life more, especially my parents.

Things are going really well and I did really well last week on my resolution (I extended it a week for the book reading so I could actually finish).  I had the most relaxing weekend and just watched movies and read a ton.  It was great!!  Things are finally falling into place.  Whitey and I saw Revolutionary Road on Friday night.  The movie caught me totally off guard and actually made me really depressed.  I do not recommend this movie for anyone that has hope for being in a happy marriage with children.  According to this movie, it did not look possible.  Such a dark, sad movie.  Saturday was spent with Lola on the beach with two lab puppies from the island.  She is the cutest and LOVES the beach.  She is normally completely covered in mud by the time we bring her home.

My resolution for this week---Eat two fruits everyday.  I had strawberries and an apple yesterday.  Today, I already had another apple and I am thinking about going to Trader Joes to grab some blueberries.  I love blueberries. I am also going to try to keep reading more since last week was so relaxing.  Anyone have any good books they suggest?

My sister has finally made a breakthrough.  I know it will not be smooth sailing forever but she is trying.  As some of you may know from previous posts, my sister and I are extremely close, although she is extremely hard to get along with.  She is selfish, always late and wrapped up with Planet Michelle, often forgetting about the other people that are here.  She recently broke up with a toxic boyfriend she was dating and has been really pleasant lately.  She is kind, helps Whitey and I out and actually listens.  She has turned over a new leaf.  I am trying to be kinder to everyone I come in contact with, her included.  I think it is working.
