Waiting for a package
Today I spent most of my day waiting for a package from my aunt. It didn't come, and it's an important package. I have to go to work tomorrow, so hopefully it comes before Geo takes his nap, or after I get home. It probably won't come until after I get home, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem. I just wanted to get some exercise in, and didn't think of other things I could do for exercise until now. I would do them now but I'm getting ready for bed, and you shouldn't exercise before you go to bed because it will just get you all revved up. I just feel that I'm going to gain a ton of weight, since I'm not eating too well. Yesterday I was low on calories, but on Tuesday I was over by like 500 calories. Yikes! And today I'm over again. I didn't take chicken out to defrost so I didn't have anything to cook. So I ordered eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti. Geo got pizza. I still have over half of my dinner left over... the place we ordered from gives you your money's worth, for sure,
Mood today was good... Nothing to complain about. My stepdad suggested that I pay off my debt with the money I'm getting, but we need a car instead. It's just seeing if we can afford the car and everything that comes with it. When I get the money, Geo and I will see about our budget and what kind of car. He wants an extended cab truck, I want a minivan. I find them comfortable, and they can fit his entire family in there for trips. I'd rather be in a minivan rather than stuck behind Geo in his stepmom's SUV. I've finally found a way to make it not so painful, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I have a feeling we are going to argue over this car. I'm not looking forward to it, but we have to see what kind of car is best. I would love to go to South Carolina to my cousin who is a car dealer, but that's a long, long drive. At least we would know how good the car is based on how it gets us back home. Oh well... we will see how this turns out.

i cant stand waiting for packages, cable, nayone, i feel so trapped.hopefully all will work out when it does arrive. try and not worry to much about the food, you have been doing so great and they do say its ok to indulge now and again. having not been able to read your journals till today, i think i missed something. what money did you recieve? this sounds like great news! you and geo will have to talk it out, look at many cars etc.. and get what is truly the best for both of you. you have been without a car for so long, dont rush it. hugsss
I agree with Ann...hate, hate, hate having to wait on repairmen and deliveries, waiting at the laundromat also!
One day off the food plan will not do that much harm. So get back in the groove of it and continue on.
I am sure you and Geo will figure out the best use for the money you are going to receive. You are very level headed. Perhaps your cousin can advise you as to the best car to purchase as far as operating and dependability.
I agree with JM.
I hope you did well at your marathon meeting on Sat.
Keep good thoughts about the car. you may not need to worry which type you pick ... The amt the cars cost may determine what you pick.
Have a great day
