Aim High
Thank you to the three generations of my family who served in the Air Force.
My Great-Uncle - Pacific Theater WWII - pilot
My Uncle - Vietnam - computers/tech
My Sister - The Gulf War - navigator/mechanic
Thank you to my mother who instead of protesting the war in Vietnam organized blood drives on her campus to help the soldiers.
Thank you for all of those past and present who have served in the air, land or sea for this country.
Thank you to the families who have selflessly given their daughters and sons, sisters and brothers,aunts and uncles, wives and husbands to the service of this country.
Thank you for those who aren't afraid to support the troops and voice their opinion on a war three generations in my family disagree with.
Thank you.
 
If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues
If he/she is truly all loving and forgiving then could I truly fall from grace for doing what I do and being the person I am? I doubt it.
After reading Sidney's past two blogs it occured to me that my own weight loss has been rather sneaky. In the past three or so months I have lost anywhere from 20-30 pounds without trying. I don't own a scale so I'm not sure just how much but my friends have guesstimated this for me.
Truth is I've flipped my eating habits; for example, actually remembering to eat. A starving body holds onto everything and anything after all. So, I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not exactly revolutionary but sometimes the basics are just that; basic.
I guess that along with remembering how I feel after eating a particular food has helped. I walk through the grocery store and before I pick anything up I recall how my body reacted to it after it was ingested. Was I feeling sluggish, queasy, grouchy or happy, energetic, healthy? Depending upon the answer I either pick it up or don't.
My exercise routine hasn't really changed. I still go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I still chat with the owners for at least 15 minutes and then go workout. Although, I have noticed the intensity of my chatting has increased. Maybe that's the key. Who knows?
Our bodies respond to different things at different times. What once worked for us sometimes no longer does for various reasons. What works for one doesn't mean it will work for another. One person's lifestyle choices may not be to another's liking but tough luck. As long as no harm is being done to ourselves or others I say Carpe Diem!
Black Velvet Band
When I was little I loved this song. Then one day I actually listened to the lyrics and realized just how naughty Colleen was. Ah,well, you can't blame a girl.
I have decided to put my local phone number to rest. I have my other number that works and is reliable. My local number apparently does not always like to take phone calls or place phone calls. Darn T network! So, now I'm strictly using my sort of new 1-800-974-6469 number. I'd rather have a safe, reliable number than a tempermental number.
Should I feel like this? Today I received a call for a reference. Now, I have no problem giving references but this was for a gentleman I haven't seen in 14 months! My maximum in between time is 6 months for safety's sake. After all, so much can change. I did inform the lady that while I did remember him it has been over a year since I last saw him.
I must confess though there was a part of me that thought it wasn't very polite on his part to use someone as a reference whom he hasn't visited with in 14 months. I know life happens but still. Am I wrong?
What else? I'm coming back to Chicago! Third time's a charm! I'm also seriously considering Milwaukee. Good old Milwaukee. A new city to walk around in and explore. Yea!
Okay so:
Chicago
July 16th-18th
Milwaukee:
July 23rd-25th(?)

How Do I Want Thee?
Let me count the ways:
Under me
Over me
On your knees before me.
Kissing me
Teasing me
Taking your time licking me.
Caressing me
Massaging me
Exploring every crevice of me.
Oh, how do I want thee?
Anyway I can take thee
And bring you to your knees!
