Random Ramblings...

So, since Sunday, (which I know has only been 2 days) I've lost 2.6 pounds. I hope that means that the rest of the 2 months are going to go exactly as I would like. :)

Also, I am starting to get not one, not two, but THREE fever blisters on my bottom lip. I felt them starting to come up before they actually appeared, so I think I might have knocked them out with Abreva. Man! that stuff is good!

And they're saying that it's going to RAIN on Wednesday. I cannot tell you how happy I am for two reasons: 1. It's not snow. 2. I love the rain and it rarely rains here, so I'm really excited about it! I might even have to play in it!

Yesterday was such a productive day for me. After work I went to Petsmart to get some dog food. I usually get the little bags and they don't last that long. I saw that they had the bigger 20 pound bags on sale, though, so I decided to live large and get the big bag! Super size it, please! So, then I started thinking on my way out about where/how I was going to store all this dog food! I ran over to Target and found this cute green rubbermaid-type containter for 4.99 and it worked gloriously. I was really proud of myself. :)
Then when I got home there was A TON of work to do in the house. About 10 years worth of laundry was calling my name along with a dirty house that I didn't get motivated and clean over the weekend. So, I worked and worked and worked my tail off yesterday. I didn't finish until around 8pm. WHEW! But when I did finish, it looked so nice! I also changed my roommate's sheets into some new ones she got as a gift and she didn't know. So when she got home from work last night at 10:30 she was surprised that her new sheets were on her bed! :)

Also, I think I am going to ask the girls' book group that we're doing to start meeting at a Star*bucks close to home, b/c it's just soooo much to have people over two nights in a row, and sometimes people linger too long and when we have stuff we need to do and don't want to shove someone out the door, it gets a little tricky. I wonder if that's rude or not...to ask everyone to meet at a central location instead of one person's house. hmmm.

Anyway...people here are wearing shorts today. The high was like 70. It's such a perfect day here today! Thank you GOD!!!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who reads here and comments. It's really really nice to have people respond to you. Y'all are becoming such nice friends! :)

oh man I know what you mean! About the chores and the guests staying longer than you would like...
I'm a morning person, which means I unplug circuits around 9:30 Pm, after that I enter a zone of "don't mess with me, I'm going to bed"..

Anyway congrats on losing 2 lbs!! Great! I'm on a diet for more than a month, and I can't seem to keep the weight off. I lose a few pounds, then get them back, then lose some more etc. So far I'm down 5 pounds from the starting point, with ups and downs. Good luck with that. Already if you get your food deliver that helps! But I can't imagine NOT cooking for 2 months! Seems so long...

I think I may have found those 2 pounds you lost.. I know, it's old. And I won't give them back to you, I'll just try to pass them off on some innocent too-skinny person. (That's probably how I got most of mine in the first place.) Is there really such a thing as conservation of mass?
Glad to hear it was nice out where you are.. hopefully you'll pass some of THAT on to us!!

Yea for losing more than 2 pounds in 2 days!!! That's great. I'm very proud of you.

As for the star*bucks idea, it's a great one. My small group meets at such a place, and all the employees know us, and sometimes give us free stuff, plus it's just nice to get out of the house. You're not rude to do that, pitch it as a fun, relaxing change.
