I signed up for WW’s monthly pass yesterday and went back to the meetings last night. I really missed them and I am so glad I did it. I did ok online but right now with everything else going on I need the motivational support and it’s also good to get out, meet new ppl, chat with old friends and just be around others. My team leader damn near did a flip when she saw me walk in *lol* It was good to see I was missed! I jumped right back in and truly enjoyed myself.

Got my letter from G. on Monday and it is such a sweet letter.  I cried when I read it and hugged it tight. Yes, I hugged a letter *rofl* I know…I’m weird! I wrote him back yesterday and will send his Father’s Day card end of this week. I am hoping he has access to more paper, envelopes and stamps as I know they have to pay for every little thing there. Nothing new on the status page online so I am not sure what is going on. I just hope and pray that all will work out somehow. His sister emailed me yesterday asking if I had any news and I told her what happened with the block on my phone and stuff and let her know that I will be in touch as soon as I know more. She is so worried about her brother, too. I hope she will get a chance to write him as well – he could use the support, being we are the only two ppl by his side.

Other than that nothing much happening. I am slowly getting back into things now after the initial shock, depression, sadness and anger. I plan on revamping my hosting and design website completely this month. It needs a facelift. I am still trying to doodle for a project that I started with a friend but it’s slow going right now. I guess it will be longer then expected. I am sure once I get my motivation back 100% it’ll be easier.

Have a great day everyone!

Now that Summer is right around the corner my appetite for seafood is growing. I don’t know why I always get this huge appetite for seafood in the summer months but I do and I go for it, too. I want to sink my teeth into a seafood paella and have my favorite recipe already tacked to the fridge so I can make my list and get everything I need next time I go grocery shopping. I will also have to look for a paella pan since mine somehow got lost…no doubt on purpose since a certain someone doesn’t like paella. But it’s all good …I was due a new one anyway. I am drooling just writing about it. I think I will make mine with shrimp and clams this time around. I usually add mussles but I am in the mood for clams so clams it will be. Uhmmmmm YUM!

MIL and I spend 8 hrs straight planting her garden yesterday! I feel muscles I didn’t know I had! Even my buttcheeks hurt! But it’s a good feeling, too. We planted tomatos, green peppers, three types of sweet corn, cukes, radishes, green beans, wax beans, pumpkins, squash, broccoli and gourds! I even managed to get right back on the treadmill this morning and do my 30 min brisk walk. It was bad at first but once my muscles warmed up it was ok. I can already see the progress on my legs from walking 4 weeks straight and it totally motivates me! I am going back to the meetings starting tomorrow. I need to focus on something other than …well…you know! I will also be back working for MIL every weekend. I need to get out and she has a pool which we will open next week so I can go up there, earn a few bucks and swim all I want! I am looking forward to it. I have to kill time and what better way, eh?

I spend half the morning trying to get this block off my phone. I am getting nowhere! I will have to call AT&T and see if they can help me. I am not sure if they work with CBS (correctional billing services) but I will try. I will also have to check into rates and they give G. a limit as to how many times he can call. We’ll just have to write …a lot! Speaking of writing – he said he was mailing a letter the last time I spoke to him so I am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival. I am beside myself with anxiety…LOL! I went and bought some cards yesterday…one a fathers day card which I want to send him this week. I will also stick a picture of him and his son in there…one that he shared with me…in a card he sent me a while back. He loves his son so much and I think he would like it, since he ain’t got much there. I also still have to call that place back and see what I am allowed to send. I want to make sure he has something…you know? He had a little money on him when he was taken in but that only lasts so long so I want to see about sending him a little of that too so he can go to the commisary and get a few things. I’ll do what I can to help him. He is after all my peanut! LOL

Anywhooooo…I have to get some stuff done and get back on the phone
