Off in the morning

Going up to Massachusetts and going to WEBS. Going to Yankee Candle also but I have way too many candles so I shouldn't be buying anything. I didn't sleep well last night so hopefully tonight will be better.

Tilapia

Made it for supper. YUM! I am so ready to go to Northampton. I'm tired and need a few days away.

New sandwich

Yum -- new to me but healthy and delicious -- turkey breast (used leftovers this time), bread, light mayo, mustard, slices of green apples and a slice of light cheddar. I've gained new respect for the light stuff. They've come a long way. The stuff actually tastes yummy whereas before it was nasty and left an aftertaste.

I'm determined to do this and not starve and hopefully it will work.

Friday Sandy and I are heading north to Hadley and Northampton. Can't wait to go to Webs. I am not buying yarn (maybe) but I will go drool and have to buy something!

Easter plus

I can't believe I finally blew the blogging thing. I know I don't write much and certainly nothing interesting but I have been trying to write every day. Geez! I was so tired after such a long day yesterday that I forgot.

Easter was wonderful -- all the kids were here and the little ones and I enjoyed every second of it. I miss having them all together. :)

This morning I took a sleeping pill instead of my vitamins. That's only the second time ever that I did that. But no way could I drive to work so I slept all morning.

At practice tonight Danny told me and Sandy that we will continue fight practice after faire in spite of our teacher dropping out. There are other people to teach us. I'm glad about that.

Bed now.

Home again

Pino is home and they said he was very happy there. Figures! LOL!! His butt is bald and his scrotum is purple and his boy parts are gone. We just have to keep him from licking the incisions and keep the area clean.

Pino

Pino now has to get is boy parts snipped. At 12 I figured it was dangerous but the doc said it's fine. But he's got to stay there over night and he's never, ever been away over night or without one of us.

Tired

I don't know why I'm so freaking tired but I'm heading to bed in a few. Carol got a good job and will be starting work on Monday. Hopefully between us all we will get ourselves in order.

We colored eggs for the baby tonight -- only did five eggs, one for each color in the kit.

Too tired to think. Going to bed.

Ghost Hunters

Back from the Reveal party for tonights Ghost Hunter's show that was filmed at the Sterling Opera House. We had such a nice time. And Rich said Cosmic can definitely go in and check the place out when we're ready. Also he said we could bring Danny in and show him around -- Houdini played there and Danny, being a magician, loves him. I also found out tonight that Bing Crosby played there and signed the wall. I never knew that and I thought I knew of all the people that played there. I love my city! And Adam -- Allen's Adam -- his spirit is also there and it's so appropriate. Wow! Just wow!

Tuesday

And another day of work done. It took me two days trying to track down 20 cents on the monthly report, but I did it. AND I found a way to avoid that hassle on the next ones. Geez!

New fight

I'm fighting on the chess board after all. They decided I will be fighting Lee, who is on her way home from Texas. So I'll be working with her after my 10 minutes with Jess on Mondays. Lee will be fighting with a bo staff and me with my sword so this will be a completely different experience for me. We will have to write our fight out. Hopefully Lee will be able to come up with something. If not, I'm sure Kevin will help us.

Arggg!

Couldn't get in here from explorer so had to use google chrome. Works great.

I over ate a LOT -- three egg, cheese & bacon omelet with wheat toast at lunch and tonight the all you can eat Chinese buffet. I don't even know how to count those points so I just put it at 36. It's probably a lot more.

Went to Palm Sunday Mass with Sandy then to the restaurant and Pay Half. I am so stuffed. Since I blew it anyway I am going to have two dark chocolate pirouettes.

Geez!

I must be really losing it -- it took me several minutes before I could figure out how to make a new post here tonight. Blah!

Bought the new Harry Potter but it got too late to watch it. Guess we'll watch it tomorrow night.

Kept well under my points tonight but tomorrow I'm not sure what will happen.

Better today

I'm about to eat some yogurt ice cream and I still have two or three points left for the day. AND I id 7000 steps, 1.6 miles, on WIO. My legs are going to fall off but I'm loving this game. LOLOL!!!

Over ate

Sort of. I pulled 1 so far for tonight from the weekly and I still want a cup of yogurt ice cream later so that will be 4 more points. I have a mess left of weekly points and I have seven activity points. I never swap those out. Yet.

I did over 6000 steps today on walk it out. It's kind of addicting because you don't want to stop if you're
'building'. LOL!!!!

Rainy day

Today has been one of those dreary, rainy days -- actually the kind I love. I hate having to work on days like this. Oh well! I have a job. I am blessed.

Came home and played with the baby a bit, she watched me do the Walk it Out. I forgot to check my start time but I figure I did around 45 minutes. It clocked 4100 steps but I did lots more since it missed a bunch.

Now I have to try and do some every day. I'm losing around a pound a week but would like to hit 2 pounds. :)

Overate

Once again one of my sword fighting partners didn't show up and the other was too busy with another fight to bother. She gave me three whole run-throughs of our fight while she practices every Monday for at least 45 minutes with one of her partners and the same with the other AND gets together with one or both during the week. Well I tried! I told her I need at least 10 minutes of her time every Monday. We'll see.

Since my other partner wasn't there, Sandy and I left and went to the diner. I had a shrimp quesidilla which was NOT a good idea. I only ate 3/4 of it but I am fairly sure I went way over my daily allotment. Actually, if I calculated right, I'm 10 points over for the day. And I don't feel all that well -- I ate TOO much. :(

Got the ok for four of us to go to the Ghost Hunter's Reveal Party on the 20th. Should be fun!

Another nice day

I didn't go outside at all today except to take out the dogs. Did some laundry. Carol, #2 and I watched The Half Blood Prince to get ready for the DVD of the next movie on Friday. Then there's one more movie and the end of Harry Potter. It's so wild watching those kids grow up!

Busy day

I woke up very late -- 10:00! But I did get a bunch done. I also went grocery shopping. Doesn't sound like much but it was a good day!

Tire fixed

I had the tire replaced -- they did it for free. Took a loooong nap and made stuffed artichokes and stuffed mushrooms and sauteed chicken tenders for supper.

Arg!

Took Pino to the vet. He's amazingly healthy for a dog his age who has never been. But he does have a growth on his anal glad that needs to be removed. So today cost me $265 -- because of shots and tests and stuff. The surgery will be over $500. :(

And we get home and I get out of the car and there's a bubble on my tire. The tires are pretty much brand new -- only a few months old. But I can't find the paperwork and I'm afraid BJs won't honor them. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Awesome

Great night at Cosmic at Milestone. Took pictures and got orbs too.

Better day

...for the baby. They're using a natural teething gel and it seems to be helping. Yeah!

Pork chop and mashed potatoes for supper and I'm stuffed.

No practice

Went to practice. No partner for Sandy and Jess was fighting with her other partner so we got to leave. *sigh*

Happy day

Spent all day with the family -- Carol, both Anthonys, the Pumpkin and even Karla and Kayla. I day well spent. I love it.

I also worked a few rounds on the Chakaras socks.

Only lost one pound this week, but still ... I think I'm doing going!

Almost here

Carol and family should be here in an hour or so. I can't wait to see the Pumpkin! I hope she isn't afraid of me. :(

Sandy and I went to the plaza today. We ate at the Pacific Buffet and between that and supper I blew all my days points plus a bunch of the weekly ones. I have to weigh myself tomorrow -- I hope I did ok!

Almost forgot

 to post tonight. I've been trying to get the place ready for Carol and family. They'll be here around 8 p.m. tomorrow. Then Diana and the girls came over so I stopped. About all I got done was making their bed and dusting their room and doing all the couch blankets.

I was going to do more after everyone left but I decided to cast on the Chakaras socks and I did a few rounds on that. And then of course I got distacted watching tv -- hey! It was Sanford and Son! And the time slipped away. I'm going to take out the dogs and go to bed. :)
