, another new low! I do think I'm a bit dehydrated though so may not be true numbers. Tried harder to drink more today and I didn't worry about calories one bit!
Fun day! Started out with water aerobics, ran some errands, met my friend at a tiki bar this afternoon. They were supposed to have live music but their hired gig was a no show! We had perfect seats with a perfect view of the water, shared a ahi tuna appetizer and chatted up a storm. I had a pina colada and it was yummy! Her condo was very close to the tiki so we went there and then took e bikes over the bridge to downtown Fort Myers and went to a really fun art gallery like place with lots of different vendors. I didn't see any photographers there but it was much more upscale than the antique places I have been checking out! I bet vendor rent at that place is pretty pricey! I think I will go back with DH though, I saw a piece I really liked (quite expensive) and some clothes I liked but they didn't have any in a small size. I guess they restock fairly often though.
Leftover Tuscan shrimp over fettuccine from last night's dinner for dinner tonight. Still have not cooked or watched tv since DH left. I pick him up at the airport tomorrow night!

Isn't it awesome when others notice the weight loss? Hopefully if you all need to reprimand the leashless dog walker, they take it well. You are right though, rules are rules and if you bend for one others will expect the same. Good policy to keep everyone safe as most dogs are not so highly trained!

I hope that dream becomes a reality for you DD! What a great snowbird destination and sounds like DH is just as in love with Brazil as you are!

Greetings Peeps Peps and Pups
Kind of overcast today but dry. I think the rain starts again in a couple of days. That is winter here - rain or no rain. I made it to the gym and did my waddling and then went to the studio for a bit. I am grateful to have that place as a hang out. Always something going on and new art to look at. More remodeling has occurred. After that I stopped at the pharmacy where I saw my favorite local pedestrian - a middle aged woman in a leopard hat and hazard vest pushing an old fashioned baby buggy with 6 white dogs on leashes. One is a standard poodle and the others are little westies and other little foo foo dogs. After years of seeing this group I finally got to see what is in the pram - another little white dog. Fun.
And speaking of fun, DD you guys are having a blast. What a gift to have international family. Is Brazil generally safe and stable? Sounds like a good place to spend more time.
CC there are no fights quite like those of home owners (said the retired lawyer). The angry board member no doubt is embarrassed for being busted and that often turns to anger. But it will pass. Too bad you had to be in the middle of it. Life is too short for some BS.
More deer Liz! So they have deer crossing markers or are the deer just everywhere. Glad it was warm enough for ocean swim. More tiki?
Bonnie 150 good to hear from you. So what if Christmas stuff is not down. Who made those rules?
So my camellia bush is blooming!!!! It sits in a spot where I can't easily see it out the window so every year is a surprise. I should have planted it elsewhere but oh well. I put that in fairly soon after we moved here and it did not bloom at all for 6 or 7 years and I wondered if it was mislabeled. pictures maybe later.
DH brought home fish and chips so that is dinner. Yeah CC sugar and carbs are killer and I swear some of us are more impacted by them than others. Anymore it is the carbs I crave more than sugar which I attribute to vsg.

That is the consensus - model good behavior especially as a board member and we don't get to choose which rules we enforce or on whom they are enforced! He's mad though. But I think some of that might be embarrassment masquerading as being mad in an effort to somehow save face. Though I have always thought owning up to your mistakes and correcting them with no fussing saves way more face than bravado!
I hope it goes okay with the fellow board member. They of all people should understand a rule needs to be followed and set an example. I'm sure her dogs are exemplary, but the rule doesn't say good dogs can be off leash.
I have to agree with Liz. I am more myself when I can have outdoor time in comfort : ) Obviously I can go outside in Minnesota whenever I want, but I don't enjoy it in winter.
