I don’t have much time to recap the weekend – a long weekend for me, so I’ll try to keep this short.  I’ll start with this morning – another horrible number appeared on the scale.  Ugh.  I’m keeping The Daily Plate open for me to log my food.  I’m not good at all with logging food after work hours, but I’ll just need to work on that.  I’m not thrilled with something I consider akin to another job (okay, slight exaggeration), but it has helped in the past and so I need to do it.

Thursday I changed clothes and left work about 15 min early.  I met bf by the stadium, and we found a place to have a drink and a burger before the show.  It rained briefly, but blew over, thank goodness – no rain during the concert.  The concert was fantastic – Billy Joel and Elton John.  It was a long concert – over 3 hours, so that was great.  I was tired by the time we got home, so my bike sat at the train station overnight.

Friday was my day off and I didn’t do much of anything.  The weather was very so-so.  I totally forgot about my bike at the train station, so it sat there overnight -again.  We had a late lunch (Italian), and stopped at petco afterwards.  They don’t have the food bowls or nylabones we want.  We’ll have to go online for those.  We bought some treats for doggy.  Our usual Walmart has been under construction/remodeling all summer, but it’s reopening on Aug. 5^th – YAY.  The other one in our area is a big zoo.  I imagine “ours” will be a zoo when it reopens, but hopefully it’ll be bearable after the newness dies down.  At night, I watched “What Not to Wear” and also the first 3 episodes of the first season of the Dead Zone on dvd from Netflix.  Bf and I liked that show, but we’d never seen the first couple seasons. 

Saturday was my hair appointment.  I had to ride my bike there, and I had to take the old one because the new one was still at the train, then the chain fell off on the way home.  Grrr.  Never happens in 8 years of riding it, but it happens now.  I guess it’s angry at me about being shoved aside for a newer model, lol.  I phoned bf and ranted (he gets blamed for everything) and he ended up retrieving my bike from the train.  Later in the day I bought what I needed for my book club snack.  I baked lemon bars.  Book club was fine.  We all disliked the book, but we discussed it, and “kid talk” was at a minimum, so I generally enjoyed myself. 

Sunday was not much of anything for half the day, but later I made a batch of brownies and brought that to my sister and BIL’s place (along with the leftover lemon bars), where bf & I went for a cookout.  We had a nice low-key time there. 

I brought watermelon to work for a snack.  Lunch will be subway.  Tonight will be the gym.
