189.2 Who knows what came over me, but I got all my tax stuff together yesterday afternoon! Shocking.
Continued warm here, but along with being about 80, there was a nice breeze making walking Kirby comfortable.
Liz, cooking for picky eaters is such a minefield. You guys were right to decide to do a restaurant instead!
Not sure what we're doing today. They don't seem inclined to want to do activities. We had planned to go to the botanical gardens in Phoenix, but it's over 90 down there, so that didn't sound good to anyone.
The gate guy starts Monday. Excited about that. Fingers crossed I like it. If I do, I might have him extend the North side patio fence to have gates on both sides. It has a privacy fence, but the ends are open, so Kirby can't go out there.
Anyway, that's here for now. Here's a bonus pic of Kirby enjoying ear scritches from my dad. He's going to be so sad when they leave. They are both threatening to dognap him and take him home with them.
Have a nice weekend!

No true goal in mind. 183.8 is the top of a "normal" BMI for my height. I think 170-175 looks pretty good on me. We'll see! My current aim is to get off what I can realistically before June.
119.8 - same. Don't know why it bothers me to hover in the 119s vs 118s. I guess because last year I mostly hovered one pound lower. Like that matters?
DD got home safely yesterday evening after we spent a few hours on the beach with her - actually a bit early contrary to her arrival when her flight was 2.5 hours late. She was originally going to be here for a week from Monday to Monday, but had to move it up to leave on Friday because of a funeral she has to attend over the weekend. Then the storm caused a move from Monday to Tuesday. So a short but good visit!
Last night we had leftovers and I washed the sheets and towels in preparation for the friends arriving today. We were with them in the Keys and they are staying here for 1-2 nights on their way back north. They don't arrive until 5 so we have the day to do our chores. I would cook something for dinner but they don't eat a lot of the same stuff we do. The wife used to be vegetarian but has morphed to eating fish and I guess some organic meats, but not all and is very picky about everything. So I don't feel comfortable cooking. DH suggested a restaurant where we took them previously and they liked it.
In the meantime, I have to put laundry in, a walk with Justice, then yoga and food shopping. Good way to fill a cloudy, potentially showery day. Have a stimulating Saturday!

Good find on the frames! I was just wondering why I couldn't remember a Mexican place in ***** Gorda - it's because SIL doesn't like Mexican so we would never have gone to one. There was one little place we would drive by though - used to be owned by the same people who owned Hurricane Charlie's (which was a tiki bar at a hotel that got wiped out during Hurricane Ian, so no more Hurricane Charlie's).

I had a vision of your weatherman looking out the window and reporting "It is raining out now, but I think it will clear later?".
Pizza with veggies is the way to go IMHO. Our favorite is onions, mushrooms and roasted red peppers.

Congrats on dropping into a new decade. The work at the house is progressing! You must be excited about how the gate will look. Your Dad and Claudia leave already? Seems like a quick visit but so good for them that they had warm weather.

Hope DD has a good trip home and you got to enjoy the beach. We did errands early but then had pool time!
118.4, staying pretty darn consistent!
Went to Home Depot for weed killer and herbs for my planters. My Basil died on me during the cold snap and I want cilantro. They had no cilantro plants so I will need to start from seed. A project for another day. We also went to Goodwill and I picked up 10 frames for 22 bucks! I think all but one will work well for my art! One was metal. It had a wood look but after getting it home I realized it was metal. We ended our errands at a really yummy Mexican place in ***** Gorda and of course there were enough leftovers for dinner!
I did go to water aerobics today and plan to go tomorrow too! Not sure what else will be on the agenda for tomorrow. Maybe planting herbs!

Nice weather all around (except for maybe DD).
Glad the ankle brace is helping some. Yes, you certainly don't want a fall!
Enjoy the veggie pizza!

Nice job easing into the 180's! What is your goal again? You must be close!
Your home improvement list is dwindling down. Must feel good!
Enjoy the time you have with your Dad and Claudia before they head home. Enjoy the warm weather too, even if it seems too soon. I'm glad it was extra nice for your guests!
