Mind Musings

Ok, I know ya'll want an update on how the shower went. It went. Lori was happy to see me, I think, but it was really great to see Kim and Laura again. The party was at Laura's house and she definitely knows how to throw a nice baby shower. We talked, ate and played stupid games. All in all it was only a 6 on the uncomfortable scale. When I left, Lori hugged me and with a sniff and a tear she said she missed me. Oy! What am I suppose to do with THAT!?!? So, I'm feeling a letter to her coming on. You know, just letting her know that my life is really good right now and I'm really not wanting to upset that balance. Too many things have been said and done, blah, blah, you get the picture.

Ok, on to Valentine's Day. I got my favorite flowers and a beautiful card. Oh, and because he knows I'm trying to watch what I eat, a teenie tiny box of Russell Stover's chocolates. Love that man more than words can say. The dogs each got a new stuffed toy. Millie a piggy with hearts on it's bottom and Stanley a purple elephant. They're toy basket overflowith. Roman had to bowl last night so we did the dinner thing over the weekend. Besides, I absolutely loathe having to wait for a table more than 30 minutes. We always do the Valentine's thing early, just to beat the crowds, we're practical like that. It's HOW you spend the time together that matters not on what day, right? Well, that's how I see it anyway.

I submitted 3 more pages for a pet pages call. I did the one you see up top this weekend and yes, it got submitted. Feels good to be trying. My hopes are up but I'm not counting my chickens just yet.

I start Weight Watchers tonight at 7. I'm nervous. I know it's going to be a lot of hard work and I'm not so good about planning my menus. Let's hope the Points plan is a little bit easier to follow than their old plan. I did well on the old one but it was such a hassle to plan meals out. I know, if you plan what you eat, there'll be less chance of eating off plan and falling off the wagon. But still, it was a PITA and I got stuck in a rut of eating the same thing over and over because I was tired of planning so I would just eat the same menu and that got boring fast. That part sucked and that's why I quit. Lets hope the Points thing is more user friendly.

I'm in a work funk, but that's a whole other post. So, I'll save that for next time. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and if I haven't told you lately, thank you for reading and giving me feedback. I so love getting comments!
