Saturday was spent on last minute things for our holiday party, cooking and cleaning. Blairstown BFF stayed over after we went to karaoke for the final time. It was such a hard night. Those doors closing for the final time felt like a chapter of my life was over with. I drank water. I stuck to the diet like glue. It was such a fight though. I was so glad that I accomplished the goal. Sunday was the Holiday Party. By noon the Turkey was in the oven, the house was decorated, I was dressed and ready and my son arrived with his wife two hours early. It was so great to see him. I get overwhelmed with emotion whenever he comes home. His wife was lovely, personable and friendly. I think she's getting more comfortable with the family now. I'm glad about that. My husband and son left to get ice and several miscellaneous items and she voluntarily chose to stay with me. I liked that and enjoyed my time with her. We talked until the first guests arrived. Then I got to work on the dinner, the men returned home and more guests arrived. We had a full house! It was amazing. Hosting a party is hard work and my visiting with guests time was limited. Everyone was satisfied and everyone raved over the dinner. I put out quite a spread. As I said I did not diet at all. I really didn't eat much though, I was way to busy.
Monday was a work day. One of the girls brought in Spanish foods and desserts. I did not diet. I did eat too much. I ate dinner at home using the delicious left overs from my holiday party. Afterwards I fell asleep for a couple of hours and now I feel human again. I was exhausted all day. I functioned but on low battery. My co-worker was ill too. She had a bad blood pressure attack because she hadn't taken her medicine. Like me- she tends to take care of everyone but herself. Like me- the Lord stepped in and forced her to rethink that position before it got really bad. I was worried about her. She has tomorrow off. I know she will be doing for others...'tis the season, but it's routine for her- still I hope she grabs a little "me time" and rests a bit. Tomorrow I too am doing the "me" thing and going strict until Christmas Day.
The funniest thing happened though. On face book I have found many friends and acquaintances from my past. Several of those are from high school. One boy I knew and I are 'friends' now. It's funny because back then he was actually friends with my brother. He actually thought that my name was "Mary." I'm sure he thought it was funny when I reminded him.
Anyway, he barely knew I existed back then. I'm told he had a rough life as far as drugs and such goes after high school. He was a 'guest of the state' for something as well. Now he is in AA and has found the Lord- which I applaud. We've corresponded several times and I like him so far.
For whatever reason he went on to my face book page and commented on a bunch of my stuff, which is also fine. As you know I also believe in the Lord and know that I am protected by Angels. I also love the Supernatural as I've mentioned. Some things that I found interesting and fun about that subject are posted on my page. He commented on that. He said that I shouldn't mess with that because the Bible says so and that he's only telling me that because he cares about me. I was a little taken back by that.
Out of the two of us- I actually live by the rules of 'do unto others' and that I think the Lord would want me to. That's not to say I'm perfect because I'm not- far from it, but I've never been in trouble with the law, I don't bully people and I really try to be kind to others. He was not always the person he is now. I'm glad that he cares but it just felt...odd. I thought about it and responded "I believe in all paths to God." on one of his comments, and then "entertainment purposes" on the other. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I am glad that he cared enough to comment...I'm just unsure of how I feel about THAT person correcting me in this manner. Does that make any sense? Anyway- I haven't looked at it today. I'm almost nervous to. I don't want to tell someone how to believe, or someone to tell me. Isn't that between me and God? Sorry about the religious aspect of this blog- but I just wanted to write down what I'm going through in my mind in case it effects me in some way that would send me reeling and break my stride on the diet.
That's about it for tonight. I am very tired. See you on the next blog! ;-)
