Two pounds too many

To the two pounds I gained this weekend:

I simply cannot accept you; you must be banished altogether. I have some suspicion as to how you both got to me. But, let me retrace my eating steps. Was it the huge torta I ate with my husband's grandmother downtown on Saturday afternoon? It was certainly delicious, and I shouldn't have devoured it all. Except, I could not throw it away, particularly since Dona Blanca had paid for it. But, it had to have been more than that. I do remember stuffing my face at the Carne Asada get-together at my brother-in-law's house on Saturday evening. That certainly could have added on the pounds. And maybe, just maybe, the huge pasta dish (with all the side salad and bread sticks) I ate at the Olive Garden played a key role, as well. But enough of my eating remembrance.

What is my plan of attack to rid myself of you? I walked for 30 minutes on Monday and Tuesday, and I jogged for 30 minutes yesterday. Yet, you all will not leave. I am truly vexed and unhappy! What must I do to expiate my consuming sin? Drink water? Eat lite? I am recommitting my life to eating in moderation, and not letting my over zealous eyes have the best of me.

I don't know how long it will take me to cleanse myself of you, but I will be victorious in the end!

i am almost finished with college algebra! i will only have a month off before school starts up again. i have been a fool. i have taken too many classes, and i have not had any time off. i have been in school since last august. except for the few weeks i had in december, it has been non-stop. i feel drained. my girls have been caged up this summer, as well. my eldest daughter keeps asking me if and when we are going on vacation. i'd love to be able to tell her, but i can't. the only "vacation" might be going to houston (and that is a long shot). we will see what happens.

finito

mi clase de biologia se ha terminado!!!!!!!! gracias a Dios. y tambien a mi esposo que me apoyo para poder assistir a clases durante el mes de junio.

my biology class is OVER!!! thank you, Jesus! and also my husband who supported me (by coming home at 5:30 every day, so that i could go to class).

all i have to worry about now (and it is still a BIG worry) is my college algebra course. i know, i know, boo-hoo, woe is me! but, i don't understand a lot of it. i took two quizzes tonight. on my first attempt i scored a 71% and my second attempt was a 77%. a little better, but not by much. my question is, "Who uses logarithms in real life? Or, who graphs parabolas for a living? Really?"

my secret indulgence, however, continues to be reading Jane Eyre. What a wonderful book! although i must admit that reading it late at night has turned somewhat scary because of what Jane assumes is Grace Poole's laughter in the corridors at night. sscarry!!!
i'm off to read my gothic tale.

good night.
