Well, I've been a big lazy butt so far today! I stayed in bed until 11:30am!
I don't have any students today so I'm just planning on assembling a HUGE bookcase we got for our home office from IKEA, tidying this place up a bit and then heading into Toronto to see some visiting relatives-in-law that are staying with my BIL.
While I truly find these relatives friendly, I KNOW I'm going to be put on the spot because my husband's family ALWAYS goes out for HUGE Chinese dinners when they get together!!! (They are, btw, Chinese.) They order huge platters of food that sit in the center of the table for all to have and there is literally NOTHING there that I WANT or SHOULD be eating. If I do eat, I'll feel terrible. If I just sample a couple of things, everyone is SURE to comment! Grrr... I've only met these relatives twice before and they don't know what a struggle I've had with my weight so I'm definitely NOT blaming them or calling them unthoughful. I just don't feel like explaining my whole diet to EVERYONE, all the time. I'm such a complainer!!! I'm sure I'll survive this one dinner!
THIN... Thanks for missing me!
I know what you mean about keeping a calender of who's SUPPOSED to be away and who just fell off the face of the planet! I think KAT is the only one legitimately away right now (until September) although don't quote me on that! (Oh yeah, and TINA will be away until Sunday). Hope you had fun making all that extra $$$ today!
J-ANN... Ahhh! I can't remember all your last post off-hand! Is 25 too young to have started losing my memory?!
I know you congratulated me on my 5 pound loss... Thanks! I think it was you that said a while ago to make sure I did something special when I reached 50 pounds lost! While I'm definitely happy to be 53 pounds lighter than I was a few months ago, 60 AND 70 are more significant numbers for me. The first is my half-way mark and the second will take me from the 200's to the 100's! I'm hoping to reach BOTH those goals within the next 5 weeks! That'll be SO exciting for me! Then I'm definitely going to reward myself. Some new clothes at 60 and maybe get highlights in my hair when I get into the 100's! Good thing my hubby is making the big bucks... my weight loss is sure costing him!!!
Lucky... Congrats on the new job!
No need to thank me for the positive job vibes though... what are friends for?
Mary... Ugh. I hope TOO much of that 3-day employee's work load doesn't fall on you!
Steph... Glad to see you're sticking with us!
Hi to everyone else! 2cute, Baylee, Susie, Marusha and YOU!
I SHOULD have a shower and put that darn bookcase together! I'm sure it'll take a while!
Toodles for now,
Sara
