Good morning, chickies! It's a beautiful day here in sunny North Texas!
Judd has gone on a motorcycle ride and will be home around 2-3 this afternoon, but then he has to go to Fort Worth because his mom bought us some bedroom furniture. It's for one of the bedrooms upstairs, the one that Shaun's in, but we won't place it until he leaves and we paint and have the carpet cleaned. I also found out last night that Erin's not taking her bedroom furniture when she moves, and her room is the one that Judd wanted for his study. I'm starting to feel choked by furniture! It looks like my sewing desk will end up in my bedroom ... we were trying to get all the desks and computer equipment out of here but I think the fax machine will stay along with the sewing machine.
All I'm doing today is laundry, planting, helping Shaun in his room, and maybe vacuuming. Oh and cooking dinner. And I have three shirts that the buttons must be replaced on, so I'll do that tonight while watching TV. Okay, that sorta looks like a lot now that I see it written down.
Vickie, your party sounds like SO much fun! I'm glad you had a good time, and were able to reminisce with them all. I'm sure your gf is starting to reflect quite a bit more on the past given her current circumstances. Bless her heart -- I'll bet it was a difficult night for her but one she'll always remember. That was SO sweet what Jim said! I'm sure he DOES feel that way, so you should too. We are all about the cute and I don't think size always has anything to do with it, but I know what you mean about wanting to see that 150 lb. girl again. I know she's still there!
Angela, your garden sounds just awesome! This summer is going to be great with all the fresh vegetables; I know how much you like getting your hands dirty out there and it sounds like this year's garden is even bigger than last year's.
Vickie, I put ice in all the dog water bowls, both inside and outside. Outside, of course, it melts pretty fast but inside, it keeps their water nice and cold. The Border Collie eats it though, if she's in the mood, so sometimes she drops a piece on the floor and then the cat starts playing hockey with it. And THEN it melts on the tile and we bust our rumps when we slip in it. Still, they like their ice water.
For the turkey burgers, I use ground turkey (duh), chopped green onions, and worcestershire sauce. They are always juicy and flavorful, I guess due to the onions. I will probably make them on the GF and not outside on the big grill.
You know that old thing where the couple wants to have a baby, but can't, so they adopt? And as soon as the adoption goes thru, they find out that mom's pregnant? I think I'm doing that with my weight!
When I gave up yesterday and decided to be happy with weight, I figured I'd have to work pretty hard to keep it there. However, we went to dinner at the mongolian grill and I ate the rice (usually don't), and a big plate of shrimp, chicken and vegetable stir-fry, and I even had a few Smirnoff Ice drinks yesterday. This morning the scale was 144.6. Go figure.
I suppose I should get up and see if I can get myself started. Or at least go eat breakfast -- if not, my whole eating schedule will be thrown off.

for making goal! Good Luck on maintenance. This is definitely something to celebrate! 
I've thought you look amazing for some time now but it doesn't matter what we think. Each of us must be happy with ourselves. And you do sound at peace with your decision.
I'm happy that my mom's art class will be moving to afternoons next week, so we will be able to start walking again. Yay!
