Before I start.....congrats on the hair appointment Felicia...it really is a huge thing - I still avoid getting my hair done...I always felt so self concious in the chair - I find myself, even now, making excuses about the expense or my lack of time.
Weigh in - still hovering around 171ish....up a pound, down a pound, over and over....
My weekend was relaxing for the most part. I got a lot of cleaning / housework done on Saturday morning (The Boy was working for a few hours). The highlight was finally unpacking the last box from the move.
We went to a birthday party / picnic on Saturday afternoon, evening...it was SOOOOOO hot. YOu really didn't want to move. We pushed ourselves to attempt two nearby geocaches while we were there (one was IN the park where the party was). that proved to be too much given the heat and we both ended up drenched with sweat and cranky and left for home.
We showered and then I got brave and decided that, since I had been so good all week...I wanted to try some sugar free ice cream from Maggie Moos...we drove over there and stood in line for 35 minutes only to find out they were sold out of all of their sugar free flavors. So The Boy got some ice cream and we went home.
Yesterday, after church and lunch w/ my brother and his wife, we hung out at the pool like slugs (I did swim a few laps). I made a yummy tilapia dinner and we just hung around for the rest of the night doing nothing and watching football.
Today is a typical Monday for me. It's the only night of the week I've been teaching lessons for the summer. So, it's work, then I have one piano lesson to teach, then I'll be going home and making dinner..that's about it.

Good Morning Felicia and all of the board!!!
I can't join in on the weight thing because I forgot to weigh this morning before I left home, but I would say that I am 165 today. That would be a 2 pound gain from last week, but it is also that TOTM, so I am not going to freak about it.
As for the roll call......
My weekend WOW: Olivia and I went shopping on Saturday and we saw a shirt in the junior's department that we both liked so we bought it to share! Olivia is my 11 year old, so it is pretty cool to be able to share shirts with her.
We went to a sober biker wedding on Saturday and it was outdoors. Considering that it had been raining for the past couple of weeks, the weather broke and it was a BEAUTIFUL day. I had never been to a biker wedding before and it is really cool. They made an aisle from all of the motorcycles and after they couple was presented, they "saddled up" and all went for a ride around town.
Yesterday, we did our last shift for the lemonade stand at the fair and closed it down for this year. It was not too bad, only a little bit slow and TONS of bees and flies swarming around all of the fresh fruit and sugar. It was interesting, because last year at the fair, working lemonade, Olivia got stung and we found out that she is allergic. So this year, I had her Epi-Pen and Clarinex in my pocket the whole time.
Today, the kids go back to school full time and David has his first freshman football game. It will be in Dubuque, Iowa, and I will not be able to go since it starts at 5:30 and I won't even be home from wor****il 5 or so. I am wishing them luck, because I don't think David is eligible to play yet either.
I caught up on all of the weekend posts, and noticed that there are some things I want to comment on:
Felicia----congratulations on the hair appointment, and NO, it is not silly at all. It is great that you are doing something for yourself and I can totally relate.
Allison----LOVE the new avatar!
Lisa-----SIZE 12 JEANS?????? How cool is THAT!!! I will be needing new jeans soon, and am curious what size they will be. We had a cool spell last week and all of my jeans were too big. I only have one pair that kind of fit, and were actually a bit uncomfortable (by being too big...)
That's about all that is going on in my world today.
Stop on by and let us know what's going on in yours........
