*sigh*
Where is everyone? It's awfully quiet in blogland these days.
We didn't go to the Zoo today. Apparently mother nature decided it wasn't quite time to get outside. Nevertheless, we made use of our day. Mostly by hanging out playing video games, but then we decided to go do some shopping. Rachel got herself (saved Christmas money) some nice things to wear for spring and a new bathing suit for our trip to Florida. Such cute stuff, and she did a great job of picking out her own clothes. She chose very nicely and kept within my boundaries of what I think is acceptable for her age. With the way she looks, she could easily wear something intended for a young woman ready to party. She knows how I feel about it and kept her taste to match my approval. Good girl! The bathing suit was difficult to keep toned down, but I will be making a few extra stitches to hide some of the cleavage. Sheesh...
I haven't really shopped for anything to wear on our trip. And yes...you have to have new stuff when you go on vacation. It's a girl thing... Anyway, I figured I'd wait as close as I can to going, hoping that I lose the weight I want to lose before we go. I did pick up two new pairs of dress slacks for work though (and a gorgeous aqua blouse :P). It's been tough getting ready in the morning and having to shuffle on and off clothes that don't fit. Oh, I am not complaining, I like that my skirts and pants are getting too big to pull off right and I have to admit it was fun to try on something a size smaller. But, I still have a long ways to go and dang me if it isn't in the right direction.
Seven weeks away. I think I need one of those counters on the side bar. Maybe then I wouldn't talk about it so much... NaH! :P
Enjoy your remaining hours of the weekend!

Rachel did good. Although, she wanted to wear flip flops and her capris to school this morning. Since there is still snow on the ground and in the forecast, I had to say no. She is as excited about warm weather as me.
I hope *looking up to Heaven* that I can reach the 35 pound goal by the end of April. The scale was ugly on my lunch break today. I have to weigh in tonight. Arg. I am guesstimating that it is the 46 ounces of water I have drank so far today. I need to average 2.5 a week for the next 7 weeks, to get there...
I was sad about not going to the zoo yesterday. But maybe in a couple weeks, we'll be glad we waited. :)
I posted! Finally.
You're doing great on your weight loss! I'm amazed and inspired.
Wow... Tech? Is that you? *rubbing eyes*
Nice to see you...
And thanks for the pat, I feel like I am, after all these years, making progress for the long term.
