Wednesdays update

I need to check back in here more often.

 My dh and I had no kids from Sunday afternoon till Wednesday afternoon.  It was so nice.  No teenagers to interrupt us.  We went out to eat.  We went for walks.  We just sat and enjoyed ourselves.  We loved it.  Only a few more years till we are empty nesters and that was a great chance to see that we are compatible for each other with out kids.  We did have fun. 

Monday I woke up and went for a walk.  Just a short one since I had to work.  As I was coming around the corner there was an electrical truck with a guy standing in the door of the truck pouring something out.  Wait, he isn’t pouring something out,  He is peeing.  On the street.  In my neighborhood.  In the light of day.   So I ask him “Are you peeing?”  I think I shocked him.   He looked up at me and said “uh, yeah”  I look up and there was a porta potty 50 feet away from him.  I tell him “There is a frikken porta potty right behind you!!”  “Oh” is what he said.  I couldn’t believe he was peeing right there.  I am still shocked.  They are working on a park that is being built by our house.  Real nice.  I hope other workers use the potty.  And I am glad I jump puddles when I walk. 

I weighed in today.  I was feeling good considering all the bad food I have been eating.  I thought for sure the scale would have a higher number, but I had only gained 1.5 pounds.  Not bad.  I was really expecting something higher.  I am planning on walking Thursday morning.   I go again in 3 weeks and hope to have lost that plus some by then.  We are going on vacation soon with mountain biking, hiking, walking and laying in the sun on my agenda.  Also putting new windows in a house are on the plan.  That should be my upper body workout.  Eating is always hard while we are down there.  It seems like food is out all the time so it is a grazing nightmare.  I think last year I did good, so this year should be good too. 

Today dh and I went and picked blueberries.  9lbs.  We had blueberry pancakes for dinner.  They were so good.  We froze almost all the other ones.  Left some for me to make cobbler tomorrow night.  That was my exercise since I can feel it in my arms. 

Kids are back home and the fighting has already begun.  I am so thankful I work tomorrow.

Oh and I went bought 2 new tank tops from Nike.  They are the best tank tops.  Black and white are the colors I got.  Goes with so much.
