A new year - one month gone

I was just emailing a friend that I had found again on Facebook when I realized that it has been months since I've blogged. Oh, well, that's what happens in life.

I was very moved during the inaugration and am still very hopeful. This in spite of working very closely with someone who is addicted to talk radio. Whenever I have to ride with her, she has the radio on. It is quite offensive to me. I've not said anything to her, but have tried subtle hints, like turning it down and starting a conversation. Her response is to turn it back up and converse over the radio. There has to be some way to handle this, but I'm at a loss to say what it is.

I'm being successful with losing weight (42 lbs so far) and am quite pleased with that. Now I'm working on fixing the new image of myself in my brain. A whole new realm of possibly has opened to me in terms of clothing and it is a little hard to get my head around that. I need new clothes because nothing fits. I go to the store and go to the area I'm used to shopping in, pick up smaller sizes and try them on only to discover they too are too big. So there is this whole other area that I'm shopping in. Many many more choices. So I'm having to sort of reinvent myself. What is my style now? Very odd feelings.

So that's my posting. I'll make an effort to get back into blogging.

42 Lbs! That is incredible. :) I have no idea what to say about Ms. Talk-show-radio. At least she isn't shshing you will the show is on. :) I am very addicted to my morning NPR and so is the person I carpool with sometimes. If something good is on all conversation ceases! Its fine with me though because its usually so early in the morning I am happy to zone out . . . or listen intently depending on the subject. ;)
