Hi everyone.
Happy Shrove Tuesday. We're doing the pancake thing. Its a british thing that DP got from her mom. Anyways, I'll be eating crepes for dinner.
I weighed in today, up a lb. No idea why other than my thai food of yesterday. I didn't drink that much water, I am not amused. However, I still journalled (stayed within my points) and exercised and drank water. I did what I can no matter what mr. scale said. To top it off, they cancelled my am meeting, so I'm not pleased.
On a brighter note, I went to the GAP (not my normal place of shopping) and bought a pair of jeans, boot cut, dark rinse not lowrise (who really looks good in those other than pre-teens and really slender people) and they looked okay. I also picked a pink overcoat that was marked down. Now, I need to get the jeans hemmed and I'm ready Freddies.
Anyhoo, its nice out after a "clearing set of showers", so I'll take no snow or sleet.
Susan -- Sounds like you have a good plan on for the weekend. I am planning on hitting the new spy museum and doing some shopping in DC. DP can do what she pleases, but I think she'll join me.
Domina -- I only stayed in one place in South Dakota, it was an inn associated with a hospital. It was very quiet. I really enjoyed the few funky motels that we found in wyoming -- one was in a converted flour mill and one was a set of small cabins. I think you'll find the allure of the western motel to be almost as good if not better than bed and breakfasts... Can you tell I'm not a bed and breakfast girl? I think its the talking to people I don't know in the AM that gets me.
As for DC -- I love it. I have one four hour chunk of time to try and get everyone to do what I need in DC and then I'll play. DP and I are celebrating our birthdays, she pointed out that we did nothing for her birthday -- er, I think we were in London celebrating, but whatever...
Melissa-- I personal messaged you. However, it will be a splendid trip. It looks a bit cold, so bring a scarf and gloves and a hat. However, things change...
Okay, I'm off to etool my gain
and my food.
As for Lent -- I had a no pudge brownie last night with greek yoghurt and it was good. I haven't had a diet coke in weeks and I'm looking forward to giving up chocolate (gulp) and trying to be a better person spiritually. It was pretty good experience last year.
okay, I have novellaed again...
