Happy weekend my friends! Looks like things have been picking up here! Usually after a few days away I can catch up quickly, but you all have been very chatty!
My weigh-in yesterday was slightly less than stellar, but I wasn't surprised. After visiting DD for two days and being in less control of my food, I kind of expected that I wouldn't show a loss. The food at her school is very good and and plentiful and lots of choices, but when you don't know the content, calories, fat grams, PointsPlus, etc, it is hard to gauge. I guess I could have stuck with salad, salad, salad, but how boring is that??? I ate healthy and watched my portions but enjoyed a few small treats and expect that next Friday's weigh-in will be an improvement.
I hit up a few area yard sales this morning, but came home empty-handed. I didn't really go out looking for anything in particular and was feeling tight with my money, so not surprising I didn't spend anything.
DS and I are heading out later to go pick up a push mower that we found online for free. He is interested in learning some small engine repair and we thought it would be a great lesson to try it on his own and maybe fix up a few small things and then sell them for some extra pocket money. He looked into being an "iTech" (he has replaced the broken screen on two Ipod Touch units for the family), but of course the first requirement is that you be 18 years old and he is not.
What a beautiful fall day we are having here! The sun is shining bright, the sky is blue, and the day is warming up nicely! I do love this weather, but hate that it just keeps getting cooler and cooler and cooler! I've covered my impatients during both of the frost warnings we've gotten and they still look great, but I'm ready to let them go. October 1 is the day I start thinking about FALL. I hold off on pumpkins, etc until at least 10/10 usually. I don't buy real pumpkins any more because DS is allergic. I have several ceramic ones that look very real, so I'll put those out in a few weeks. I don't bother with much more fall decor than that because we don't have ANYONE that can see our house, so what's the point?? I usually put up a few Halloween things on the day of trick-or-treating and then take them down the next day. I"m not a fan of that particular "holiday".
Not sure what I will get done today. I did a bit of scrapping yesterday, but it was less than satisfying... not sure why. House is fairly well picked up, but could use a vac and dusting, but not feeling it today. Not sure if I am feeling super productive or just super lazy today. Lots on my mind and that is throwing me for a bit of a loop.
Nothing planned for lunch, so I guess I will go see what I have available in the fridge. Dinner is scheduled to be homemade pizza, but that could change.
Off to try to catch up here a bit!............P
