Dr. Laura Weighs In
Bad News Getting Better?
Last Monday Steve found out he got a job working at Sears part time. He will be paid comission, but will still need to look for another job, either a better one or another part timer. Also, Elaina took her first steps around the 25th of July! She is growing so fast and so big!
Steve got his diploma in the mail last Wednesday, and found out that he scored in the top 1% percent of all people who took the test! I'm so proud of that smartie. He and I have been so much happier just in the last few days. It's amazing what happens to your mood when the gods throw you a bone. I give all the credit to the Lord of course. Well, Steve gets some too.
I've been depressed because of my weight though, I seem to have an addiction to food. I can't explain it, but it is soo hard for me to give up the delicious "crap" I like to eat. Not to mention making time for excercise. It's so hard to move this body around. I just desperately don't want it to get harder! My feet hurt when I stand on them too long, my back aches, my knees hurt. It's horrible. I want some help from somewhere. I hope I get a handle on that soon.
In other news...Lindsay Lohan...though we are all so sick of hearing about the Hollywood Starcrossed Starlets, somehow the world still gobbles it up. I'm jealous of her. I admit it. Wether I should be or not. I get mean about her when Steve and I talk about her because somewhere in the tiny-mindedness that is insecurity I think he thinks she's hot. Hell, I think she's hot. It's sad though, because I was in a similar situation with my father, being an alcoholic, and it causing problems with my parents. It was such a painful thing to go through, and I couldn't imagine what it would do to someone to have it publicised and made fun of incessantly. But seriously, draw attention to yourself why don't you? Sheesh, if you don't want the attention, don't act out. Still, I see footage of her from a few years ago and I relate. Someone who is so full of excitement about their life. So spunky, and she had this
" I'll take on the world" attitude. But man the world can kick your ass can't it? Well now she's royally screwed things up for herself.
Maybe in a way that's what she wanted to do, she figured the only way out was to screw herself up so bad no one would want her and she'd get her ticket out of Hollywood. No telling what's in her future, but I genuinely wish her the best.
