tuesday truths...with bullets...

• i am serious.  i need to lose weight. 
  i am not kidding.  this is getting ridiculous. 
  and is making me mad.  and sad. 
  i hate feeling like this about myself. 
  i hate how my clothes fit (read:  don't fit). 
  i hate my lack of energy, my faltering self esteem,
  my staggering lack of commitment. 
  i am not sure what happened. 
  i think it was a combination of the winter-that-never-ended...
  and stress.
  but i am feeling ready to start again...to commit...
  now...
  if i could only find my stupid fitbit.
• i love raspberries
• i love that every time S goes to pick up 19 after work...15 goes along...
  to hide in the back of the car and try to scare her.
• bob's burgers is kind of genius.  there.  i said it.
• i realized tonight that i own no socks. 
  or at least...nothing that matches.
• when i need a moment, i drive to the windmills.
  weirdly, they relax me.
  the slow, constant spinning...

happy monday...it's almost over!!

i feel pretty lucky...

i don't know what else i can say about my dad
that i have not said before...
funny and sweet, smart and creative...

i absolutely adore this man.

and then there is the man that i married...
the man that makes me laugh even on the days
when i don't think i can...
the guy that convinced my somewhat hardened heart
that we should get a dog again,
even though after putting Hobbes down,
my heart didn't know if it could stand it.
the sweetest, funniest, smartest dad to our two offspring...
he jokes, he roars, he teases, he listens...he loves.

and i love him with a love that cannot be explained in words...
