Oh that's right, other than football, all you have to do in the Cold North
is ice fish, what fun. : )

Who's going for a wonderful hike on Mt. Tamalpais this weekend which will
end up at Stinson Beach with lunch in the sand in my shorts.....


Hey now, you forgot snowmobiling - the other beer induced winter sport of
choice up here. It's deer season right now though so no one is ice fishing,
but the lakes are freezing over and I saw a muskrat sitting on the edge of
the ice enjoying his breakfast this morning.

Talk about being torn - deer season in the snow (makes it easier to track),
Packers playing the early game on Thanksgiving (and losing already). I'm
ready to go find a tree stand if these guys don't play better.

I really do you know. I try to take it all in sometimes and just sit and
remind myself how damned fortunate I really am. I have a set of
wonderful children, fresh air and my own space to live on that I feel
blessed to have. A great support network of friends and family who I can
only hope to give as much back to them as they give to me. The good Lord
has given me the good sense and tools to get my health and my body back.
I am grateful for all of those things and so many more.

I've got a story that rivals these about dating your friends. As
most
here know from my past posts I just recently broke off an
engagement
with a guy named Mark. Well, I live in a very small town and
always
have. So word got around that Suzi is single again and looking
good with
her weightloss. When I was 16 years old I used to baby-sit for a
family
here in my little village and I absolutely had the biggest crush
on
James (the guy I was babysitting for) So over the years we have
developed this incredible friendship although he is 20 years older
than
me. During life's ups and downs we have been together but never
really a
relationship where we went public with it. During separations from
whoever we were with at the time, sometimes even when we were
still both
involved with other people. So the *day* I broke it off with Mark,
who
calls me? James. And for the first time in both our lives we are
single
at the same time and actively(publically) dating which is just
setting
this little backwater town on its ear. I think its so funny the
looks
and responses we get from people when we are out together. His
children
who are only slightly younger than me have been the most
supportive. My
parents response when I told my mother that I was bringing James
to
Thanksgiving dinner (we do ours at night) was "You're kidding?"
LOL. I
got the biggest hoot out of that (James is only 3 years younger
than my
father). The other reason we get these very surprised responses is
that
I am one of the biggest land owners in this little area. He is one
of
the biggest cattlemen in this area as well, so its almost like 2
very
powerful forces are creating an alliance. LOL, that looks silly
when
typed out, but that's how it is.

Anyhow, that's whats going on in Suzi's life today. I hope each
and
everyone here has a terrific holiday. I have decided not to weigh
this
week until Friday and I can tell by my clothes I will be a bit
disappointed with no loss. Which is ok for now, I've missed
walking a
few days and haven't been watching my eating as close as I should
have.
So next week will be a bear to get back on track. I'm ok with it
though.
I needed a little respite from it all.

Susan(happy with things..

You said it all, Susan, thank you for the reminder. Yeah, sometimes life
stinks, but I do know how fortunate I am.
