Bearly survived Alaska

My folks are back from Alaska, and had a great time. Now they are planning the new trip/adventure to the Panama Canal. They don't leave until April, and I fear that it will take the Nana that long to get ready for it.

School is back in session today, after only attending one day last week. Hopefully all goes well, thus far it has so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Nothing else all that exciting to write about. Its been kinda quiet, ohhh I haven't had coffee in something like 25 days, I also have lost about 22 lbs. (No, not from the coffee). As you know I have (again) stopped eating meat. I think its been like a year and a half., but not sure. I have been eating mostly organic and just trying real hard to fix my ridiculous stomach, so that maybe, just maybe one day I can go back to eating some of my favorite foods.

Short list of things that I would love to eat:

POP CORN
Pistachios
Tomatoes with the seeds
Cucumbers with the seeds
Cashews
strawberries
Kiwi's

I think that's enough, it's making me hungry. At the present time, I am not eating much of anything to do my "master cleanse" to get my stomach in shape. I will let you know the final outcome, when it happens!!

Ciao

Forgive me Nana for I have sinned.

It has been approximately 22 years since my last confession.

OK, so here i am driving to your house to collect the mail and check on the house (we had another bad storm come through town) etc. I am en route when the next thing I know, I am at the window of our beloved Dunkin Donuts. Without even thinking I blurt out "medium carmel iced coffee, cream , 2 sugar". I wondered how I even got there. It was all a blur. The car was on autopilot I surmised.

Then, as I hold the chilled container that holds what I can only describe as liquid gold, I take a long sip (much like a smoker that takes that beloved drag of a cigarette) that seems to last forever. Then it hits me, the familiar friend that I have been missing. I am ecstatic. But as quickly as that feeling hits me it is gone equally as fast.

Good bye feeling good, HELLO guilt. How could I have gone without you? How could I knowing that you were feeling the same emptiness. Each day on board the cruise ship, having to settle for something less than perfection? I am ashamed.

Well, I was ashamed until I took another sip!! Then all over again, that warm and fuzzy feeling of content that only dunkin's coffee could give.

The cycle continues, the guilt with pleasure after every sip. Now for the first time I truly understand that saying "Guilty Pleasure".

So Nana, what do you say a few Hail Mary's and we're good?

PS. Is there a local chapter of D.A. (dunkin's anonymous) in Port Saint Lucie?

Seperation Anxiety

I wake up this morning and realize that tomorrow around this time, I will be taking my folks to the Orlando Intl Airport for the beginning of their Alaskan Adventure.

I am both excited and sad. Not for reasons of Jealousy that I am not going, more like what am I going to do without you know who... The NANA. I have made a list of all the things that we (Nicolette & I )are not going to do without her.

1. Go to our favorite spots

a. Dunkin Donuts
b. Any boutique this side of Florida
c. Wal-Mart
d. Publix ( apparently we are not eating while she is away )

2. Do our Favorite things

a. go to the movies
b. go to Breakfast with the Blue hair Ladies
c. go to beach
d. go to sprinkler park

I guess Nicolette and I are just going to sit home and just be pool potatoes!!!!

Nana, for the love of Mary GET HOME QUICK!
