Chronicles of Corilee

Well, here it is at 3.52 AM and I'm reading everyone's post's.

Karla, where did you get a movie of the twilight series? I'd love to watch it. Sorry I can't comment on you actual blog. I'm not that sophisicated on the computer yet. But I love reading them. BTW we have the green paint that we used in the laundry room if you want it.

Jenn, I didn't get you latest post. The only one I have is what you wrote 2 weeks ago.

Emilee, I hate pass along letters first and even moretag games and since the only people I would pass it in too would be everyone who already got one from you and Michelle it don't see the point. ....Well I could do it just everyone who reads my post could know what I would answer.... so here goes.

Three things that everyone already knows about me:

I am compulsive/obsessive about a lot of things. Eating, shopping, (especially a DI in my yoounger years as they didn't have Walmart or Big Lots then) Used to be on watching TV but I've broken that habit now (for the last two months at least.) Cleaning my house (yeah, sure:)) Politics, and etc.

I'm good at art. It may take me nine or ten years to finish a painting like my Christ painting but I have done seversl since starting that one. I'm going to do a big mural of a fairy land on the wall of a woman in my ward which should be fun.

I am good at sewing. Now that I have my year's supply of fabric I am happy and filled with peace about our preparedness. Now if there is a disaster or sever economic problems I can ask for help from the Lord while being able to say I've done all I could to prepare. I am about to start making Jan a baby's blessing dress for a possible baby girl that might be in her future. I know, I know, she may have all boys. But she wanted me to make her a dress incase she has a girl and I am too old to be able to see well enough to sew. (Hope that doesn't happen)

Now three things people probably didn't know about me:

I had an old flame that I still think about now and then, even though it's been 45 years since I've seen him. They say you never quite get over your first love but 45 years? Sheesh!!!

I have faithfully attended Overeater's Anonymous for the last ten years even though I gained back all the weight I lost the first year. The reason I still go is that I am pretty sure if I hadn't been going I would have gained a hundred pounds more than I weigh right now. For the last two months I have been more absinant then in all the previous nine years and have now lost ten pounds. This is a program of spiritual recovery, first, and acknowledges that God is the source of any success. I have experienced good mental recovery in that I don't mentally "beat up" on myself for every thing I do wrong like I did for the first 40 years of my adult life. YEA ME!!! I am finding it especially successful now that I am willing to call a friend in the program and talk about my day and the food I ate ~ just to have someone to be accountable to. I am much more careful about what I put in my mouth as a result.


I prayed today to ask the Lord what His will was for me to do with the hours from2:30 pmuntil bedtime instead of doing whatever I wanted to do (which was usually to lay on my bed and waste time.) He seemed to say that He didn't care what I did as long as I stayed active.
