Hey I’ll take another two-tenths of a pound - together with yesterday’s two-tenths, it’s almost a half a pound altogether and that ain’t small potatoes at all.  Okay, the fact that just this past Saturday I weighed almost a pound less than I do now, that may be buggin’ me a little… but I’ll get over it.  Because that pound will come off.  Eventually.  I’ll be sure to wave goodbye to it when it does.  =D

Tonight was the high school football game and this time I felt up to going.  I’m glad I did!  I’m not really all that much into football (I’m mostly there because Kevin’s in the band) but what an incredible game!  Our boys played so well, pretty much everyone was amazed.  All the parents in the stands at our games are pretty much resigned to losing because, well, we usually do.  The fact that our team members have the highest average GPA in the county - eleven years running! - kinda takes the sting out of it though.  We don’t care if our future doctors and lawyers win a high school football game!  But BOY!  When they DO!!  It’s really fun! 

Kevin plays the drums (he’s the only snare player) and he’s really good at it.  Tonight the drum line did a little exhibition of their own and my son was out there drummin’ like a wild man, dancin’ and rockin’!!!!  I was so proud!

One thing I noticed tonight while watching him move around the field - - his uniform is way too big!!  I can’t believe the band instructor hasn’t noticed this.  He was fitted for that uniform last year and he’s lost 25 lbs. since then!  He totally needs a smaller size!

Speaking of which, I wore a pair of khaki pants to work today, which I haven’t worn in over a year.  One of my co-worker noticed, she said, “You’re lookin’ cute!  Are those new pants?”  I did a little twirl / dance in the middle of the room.  Woohoooo!
