Empty nest pangs from across the miles:

Monday Musing Mishmash

• I finally saw that Honey Boo Boo show the other day.  What a train wreck.
• What's the big deal about those Fisker cars?  I saw one the other day, and the guy driving it had a mullet haircut.  Ugh.
• I am running another half marathon in November.  I think I'd better start training.
• I want to go back to Italy.
• I had lots of interesting conversations this weekend because of my new hat.  Thanks Daryl!!

• I went to Target yesterday for a drill and a bucket.  It took me three trips to get all the stuff in the house when I got home.  That place is dangerous.  Oh, and I got a pink drill.
• Here is a little something to get you through the day:

• Tell me something funny.

This 'n That Thursday

Blather:

• I have lost 7 pounds since I moved back to Tennessee.  This is a very good thing. 
• Living without wheat is not as hard as you think, and I feel amazing.
• I have a lot more to go, but 7 pounds is a good start.  
• Dora is slimming down, too.  We do a lot of walking and stair climbing.  A lot.
• I wish everyone would leave that Kristen Stewart alone.  You'd think she was the first actress to do that.  
• I have a meeting with a new doctor today.  
• My cancer diagnosis may have been was a blessing in disguise.
• I'm going to my nephew's football game tomorrow night.  So excited.  My brothers went to the same school.
• I hear the east coast may be in for a rough winter.  heh
• Have you ever had kimchi?  It's my new favorite food item.
• Also?  My coffee press is the bomb.
• Are you sufficiently bored?
• What are you up to these days?

Monday Morning Musings

Apologies in advance for the rambling...

• Seeing a gentleman in a seersucker suit on an August morning makes me smile.
• One of the main reasons I decided to come back to Tennessee was because of the lower cost of living and the improved lifestyle.  It is working.  But I do miss my friends.
• I did, however, accept a dinner invitation for last night.  It was lovely.
• Part of today is going to be dedicated to getting my car registered.  gah
• I am also at work amassing my new medical team.  This is actually interesting.
• Oh, and a new hair person.
• It was 57 degrees here yesterday morning.  In Tennessee.  In August.  
• I live across the street from Whole Foods.  It is both a blessing and a curse.  Their homemade pimento cheese is my latest obsession.
• I am also obsessed with Shark Week.
• And Wheat Belly.
• And I am feeling so grateful for all my blessings.
• You?

As I continue to unpack and tweak things in my my new abode, I was whining telling the kids about some of my challenges.  One of which is finding someone to come do a little "honey-do" list I have been amassing noting on a little pad of paper.  Please see below the sage advice from my newly-minted 21 year old son.

I think he just may be all right after all.

Oh, and the handyman cancelled on me.
