One Hundred Fifty-Ninth Entry

Dear Jen,

I read about your troubles in the induction phase of the Atkins diet. Yes most of the weight you lose on the Atkins Induction Phase is water, but that is weight you don't have to carry around! And once you get stuck in and keep up the routine, the diet will work better!

Your Twix cravings will pass, and be glad you aren't eating Taco Bell or Arby's all the time.

Your friend,

Phil

I ran all over the central valley today looking for hardwood flooring. Well...all over Tulare and Kings Counties. I ended up finding what I needed at the Hanford Home Depot. $715 for 18 boxes of Red Oak, Natural hardwood flooring. 36 bucks each. I was assured by several people that it was a good price for the flooring. Ok...if you say so. Sounds like a lot to me.

In other news...Europe 2003 is just around the corner! I believe it will be a great success. I bought some new clothes to take.


*********************

It's over. It's officially over.

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless fight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Being without you Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
