It was another hectic weekend. But okay otherwise. Friday I had baking to do and DS had a friend stay the night. I went Xmas shopping for a guitar for DH. There is another lawyer at the office who plays very well and who said he'd go look over what I found, before I exceed the Xmas budget on a guitar Eric Clapton couldn't even play well.
Saturday I went to WI and was pleasantly surprised that I was only at 253. I thought I'd gained more, but I'm still within that nasty 5 lb range I've been battling since July.
Better than being over it I guess. Then I had a graduation party to go to in the afternoon and a Xmas dinner/party that night with a group of close friends. It was pleasant, if fattening.
Sunday we slept in and DH and I then went Xmas shopping - all darn day! On the up side, DS Xmas is bought, as are the office people I needed to get something for, DH family gifts and gifts for the exchange at my SCA party next Monday. Of course, we ended up eating out three times yesterday, but whacha gonna do?
It was 61 degrees when I was shopping yesterday. This morning it was 10! Yep, we dropped over
50 degrees in about 14 hours and had about 1/2 inch of sleet fall! And we're better here than further north!
It's supposed to be nasty on and off all week. My poor DS, he was so upset that school wasn't cancelled, but the trucks got the roads cleared.
Today - it has begun - the candy and cookies have started appearing at the office.
They always do this time of year. I have office Xmas lunch on the 17th, another Xmas party on the 19th, then one on the 22nd, Xmas at home on the 24th, dinner with my brother's family on the 27th and Xmas with the in-laws big, extended family on the 28th. And maybe a late (11 p.m. until ?) party on the 31st - that's still up in the air.
At this point, I just want to start 2009 no higher than I was when I rejoined WW in July 2008.
Hope everyone starts the week well! 10 days to
