So my witchy mood has such subsided. I was feeling insignificant and expectantly fat. I found a good mental grounding for my diet journey.
~No matter how life is, the journey is MINE. What I accomplish is MINE. If I have anything,all of this cannot be taken away by anybody but myself. If I keep to the goal, I possess a personal achievement and I can flaunt it proudly.
So I got away and took an exploratory walk. There is a shopping center with Smith's and various stores. I should check with the car, but I estimate it to be over a half mile. I love how Kroeger brand has healthy alternatives and a good selection of vitamins. There are like 15 gaming machines and I played two bucks for a good half hour. I checked out the budget computer store and realized they were not too knowledgeable on ho much it would take to fix a minor ram upgrade for my other computer. I had taken the ram stick out and a gold tab from it got stuck so I think I am due for a new one in the future.
The grandbabies discovered my adventure and bugged me to take them on a walk. So we went to the school playground. Right off a big tall skinny kid started walking up to us.. He was very dark. I was holding my celly thinking this is the city TuPac got shot...then he has this big smile and waves this I am a big kid wave and says hi with an accent.his little brother was with him and they spoke a foreign language. I of course (humbled from my first prejudgment ) waved back then later snoopy as I am asked them what country they were from - Haiti. Oh I said,„je parle une peu de Francais". (petite peu/touriste) OMG they were so happy. Later their older brother came and sought me out greeting me in French. He said no one he has met in his 4 mons here speaks French.
"Je suis une romantique"!

ReplyDeleteBluezy, as usual - you're just too cute. 'This is the city where Tupac got shot', cracked me up. Ahh the French for them young boys, the Spanish for me - you're one classy gal and I just adore you. Excited to see your journey into this new town.... and of course, continued success on the weight loss front. :)
ReplyDeleteI speak very little French, but all those years of watching French flicks, ya know, you pick up a little. :)
