118 - back to where my weight has been hovering the last few months.

The sisters arrived yesterday afternoon. We took them for an early meal at the clubhouse because they had been up since about 3 am.

Before they arrived we went looking for a hutch/china cabinet for the dining area. Apparently they are not very popular these days. Maybe I need more of a bar cabinet? I did see one that I liked the look of but it is the last one so I would have to decide quickly and I'm not sure I am ready to do that.

Today my marble countertops in the kitchen are being refinished. A guy came 2 days ago to put something on the stains that was supposed to lighten them. Didn't seem to make much difference but they really aren't that bad anyway. I am stuck at home most of the day while they do the work. Don't even know if I have time to take a shower before everyone else leaves for the day (DH to golf and SILs to the beach).

Tonight I have a book club get together. I am making a cute and easy appetizer I saw on FB - will take pictures if they come out well. I have to finish the book today. It is The Land of Milk and Honey and I have really disliked the book so finishing it is going to be painful. I don't like the story or any of the characters. And though the writer is talented I hate that all conversation is in italics instead in "quotes". Really hard for me to read it that way. It is set in the future which also doesn't help because I typically don't like reading futuristic stuff. Oh well... I have made it down to about the last hour in the book so I will make it to the end.

Need to get out early to get a Justice walk in before DH leaves. Have a wholesome Wednesday!

Great progress on your house updates. At least they will be done way before Christmas. Glad you are feeling better!

Maybe the fact that they are at least listening is a good sign? There are lots of sayings about how you should just let them get what is coming to them, but I know that isn't possible. So frustrating and hard to deal with family members who can't accept what is happening to them and take the help they need.

15 degrees! Yuck! I feel cold when it is below 70 these days.

You must make criminally amazing banana bread! I used to travel to Seattle on business every 6 months and frequently I would purchase quite a bit of this great cheese from Beechers. Whenever I did, my bag was also searched. Probably looked like some sort of plastic explosive on the x-ray?

Lol ing imagining Kirby and his delight!
