Oh, it's Monday already. Yuck. Guess what I did this weekend. Put a big hole in the side of the house!
Actually, it's a good thing. Rich and I have been talking about redoing the kitchen and we decided that we didn't need that window and could use the space for cabinets. We're also going to knock out the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room so there will be lots of light and space. Also the kitchen door is right next to the window. So anyway, we took out the window. Actually, I went to WW and came home 2 hours later to find a big empty space where the window had been! Rich was gone (one of his 4 trips to the hardware store) and my cat was eyeing the great outdoors. Anyway, we (OK, mostly "he") did a really nice job and we only have to put new shingles on the outside. (We had waited on this project until we were sure we could get replacement shingles.) Looks pretty good so far. But once again, the "couple of hours" job has taken a "couple of days". Hope it doesn't rain today or tomorrow!
As I mentioned, had my weigh-in on Sat. Lost another 0.6 lbs. Slow but steady and that's OK with me. Have to weigh in on Wed. night this week and have to admit to being really bad Sat. and Sun. but I'll face it as always. Thurs. night I drop off Watson with mom and dad. We were going to leave for camping Fri. night but decided to wait until very early Sat. instead. Easier driving, easier to set up the tent in the daylight, etc. Easier on Jo's nerves too.
One of the other couples we were going with had some flood damage and may not be going. The other couple is the sister and bro-in-law of the gal in the first couple. (Did that make sense?) Anyway, she never does anything without her sister so they may not show up either. Rich and I have decided that's just fine with us. Just going to take a couple good books, my camera and my walking shoes.
Yes, I will be walking and exercising and drinking lots of H2O, I promise. My next Sat. weigh-in (7/7) is the official Battle of the Bulge final weight. Then I have to collect money from everyone who pledged. Hoping to hit them up for at least 5 bucks (most pledged a dollar a pound). Right now it's 4.6 lbs but I sense a gain coming on Wed. Guess this just means I HAVE TO be good while camping.
Well, I've rambled on about ME long enough.
Trish, congratulations on the great loss!!! Keep up the good work!
Gail, sorry to hear about your hubby. I've heard how painful they can be. Hope they can do something for him. Hugs to you too! {{{GAIL}}}
Angel-Eyes, congrats to you too! You certainly are back on track!
Julie, I didn't know Richard had audio tapes!! I just love his video tapes ... even though I can't always keep up. I'll have to look into that!
Off to work now I guess. Wonder what today will bring. Geez, what a scary thought!
Hope you all have a great day!
Much love, Jo.
