HI Everyone,
Missed you this weekend as I was so busy and rarely at home and of course my computer still not very cooperative.
I "turtled" this week which is a blessing really but I still had a nasty eating weekend - my weekends seems to always be so out of control? So I tend to nibble all these extras - gain weight by Monday morning - then struggle all week to get rid of it - how intelligent is that? I am getting disappointed in myself.
Of course this morning all I want is either a cinammon bun or mcdonald's breakfast from downstairs - I know I won't have "lunch" today, or not on time as dd's graduation ceremony is at 12:30 pm so I am leaving work around noon to rush over there - dh will hopefully be there first and can get us some seats! And I'm such a bad Mom - realized I should at least get the child a card and "token" gift - alto I have already spent major $$$ on dress, etc. And she did get a good report card and wants these tickets for some band coming to town (Good Charlotte?) so I will spring for those as well ($50).
Had my haircut sat and I am so relieved as it really cuts down on my morning prep time (and yes I slept in this morning). Took dd shopping for shoes but came home empty handed (she is now freaking out). Did some major grocery shopping on Sunday and hopefully this will keep us going til we leave (9 days). My gf, her dh and dd from Toronto will be here this weekend (long Canada day weekend) to help her sister and family who are moving like a few blocks away form me. I feel OBLIGED to host a dinner or something - but don't know what to do!
As of this Thursday we are in packing mode - everyone's suitcase in their rooms and the laundry/packing begins. I don't really want to cook and/or entertain but I know it's the right thing to do. We will probably be out most of the day on Canada Day/July 1st and watch fireworks at night. I was even considering doing a brunch? But might just do dinner sat night? Must be fast and easy...and I don't want to buy more food, but use up what we have - I am still pondering.....
Weather also unbearably hot and muggy all weekend (got caught in a downpour AFTER having hair done - NOT GOOD!)....temps in the high 30's all week (like over 95 w/the humidity) which makes being outdoors unpleasant (unless you are sitting around a pool as I did last night at my sil's place!)
Also have ds's graduation thurs morning - then as of thurs pm (I am going back to work) I am on HOLIDAY FOR TWO WEEKS - YIPPEE!!! But I know this is a bad eating week as we will probaby be going out for celebratory meals, and I have a work lunch out on wednesday, and friend's bday dinner out on the same day....and did I mention it's PMS week???
Trying to keep in control but it just seems futile!
Hope everyone is starting a great week!...and before I forget:
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KATHY & JUDD !!! Wishing you many more years of happiness together!
