and Life asked, what curve ball can I throw at you today?
The thing with our van? Okay, the sliding door on the side is messed up - won't open. It's been like that for months and the kids just climb through the front door. Hey, I'm just thankful we have a van that runs! Anyway, we took the van in to have other more serious issues repaired (like, not running), and they were going to try to fix the door. Well, they couldn't get it to budge. That thing might as well be welded on - these were big, strong men trying to pry the door off.
So anyway, while they didn't get the door off, they did manage to move it enough that the van now thinks the door is open. All. The. Time. Yeah, I know! So we've got that annoying "you left your key in the ignition" beepy noise any time the door is open, but what's worse, the overhead lights would not go off! Can we say, "battery issues"? Hubby did not know what to do. Finally, he took the bulbs out of the lights and that seemed to do the trick.
You can see the month of August has been super slow for me. I was 138.5 on August 8th, and am 141.5 today. It's all these birthdays and anniversaries! I'll be lucky if I show a loss at all this month. That's okay though. Things will calm down in September. I'm pretty happy where I'm at right now except for this blasted tummy!
I'll come back and check on you all in a bit - I hope you had a great weekend!

WEll Im glad that you are happy where you are. You certainly have come a long way. That silly van, oh well...
You have a wonderful attitude about everything! Good for you... I tend to be a bit negative about things and always admire people who can find the silver lining in things.
I know how annoying thing like that can be. My automatic door quit working so know we open it manually but it doesn't open easy. My curve ball was on Friday. a tornado blew through my town and did a ton of damage. Luckily my family and I were safe.
Hang in there! You've come so far! You can do this!
You definitely have one!!! We do what we can about things and the rest.....well......we just take in stride. That is so much better than getting totally frustrated about something YOU CAN'T FIX.
Look at it like this....at least it was not just a hot, humid, boring August!!!! You had curve balls to catch all month.
~~~~~~Those are good vibes for you to have a successful, unstressful September. Blessings, Chargail
How aweful. Your van has a mind of it's own, doesn't it? As far as your weight gain...you've come sooooo far and I think your right. In Sept. you can get back into gear! I know I would be happy at 141! Have a great day!
