OH is acting up again this morning so fingers crossed...
199.4 up, down, up, down... But as long as that up down keeps slowly going down, I'm a happy camper!
I have had several serious inquiries on the RV since listing it on National Vehicle and posting on FB. All but one inquiry asked if I would include my custom crates. That would be a hard NO! Fingers crossed I can get that rig sold this spring! That would make me so happy. It's a big chunk of change to maintain every month. To be out from under that responsibility would be nice.
More wind and rain today. Hoping it's not too windy on the drive back from picking up the RV. It's no fun to drive when the wind is gusting at high speeds. I would have like to have gone yesterday, but Ron was busy with church services all day. Ash Wednesday isn't even a Holy Day of Obligation, but you'd think it was the way people flock to get their ashes. We do like our rituals and traditions, don't we? I wonder what part of our ancient psyche thrives on such events? It must come from somewhere deep in our makeup.
A 2 hour national dog club meeting last night resulted in a lot of follow up chores for me. Boooooo..... Oh, well.... It's what I signed up for????? LOL
Liz, is Mike's child that is coming back to Ft. Lauderdale male or female? You referred to the child once as DD (and DIL) and once as DS (and DIL). I guess it doesn't matter, but I was curious which.
Not a lot going on in my world right now. I kind of like that. I am going to sub for a music teacher colleague tomorrow. First day back in the classroom since leaving. I get to teach my Special Day kids at the end of the day! I'm so happy to get to work with them again.
I shall try to have a Thankful Thursday. I'm feeling like I have much for which to be grateful.
120.2 - up .2 after some not great eating in Fort Lauderdale and late night eating yesterday, so not too bad.
The late night eating was after the Book Club I hosted last night. Everyone loved the book: This Tender Land. Thank you DD for the book recommendation! Fun night with lots of good ladies and a good book discussion.
Today I was supposed to play golf, but can't get my golf shoes on. I have another stupid breakout of that weird rash and I have blisters all around the sides of my feet. If I am correct and it is the nickel allergy it likely stemmed from eating some capers during a few meals at the end of our trip to the Keys. I wish there was some way to speed up the healing but I haven't found any way yet. The steroid ointment the doctor prescribed doesn't seem to help and it is so greasy it gets all over everything.
I am supposed to take a Rules of Golf session this afternoon but may cancel that. Maybe a good day to go to the Beach Club and stay off my feet.
Have a thirsty Thursday!

Busy lady! You are really rocking your new Florida lifestyle! Congratulations on the successful contract negotiation .

I will have to try Hijacked (as a Dept Q fan also).
And I decided I am making that crack slaw stuff for my next meal to cook (still eating chili without beans). With DH wanting to eat healthy it has me returning to my former favorites.

Under 199! Your body has finally decided to surrender after hovering just above 200 for so long. I love that you have been so patient about that. I bet your NUT has been proud of you continuing to do the right things with your diet.

I hope you made it to the open house and that you saw someone you knew right away who could introduce you to the host. I hear you on going alone and not knowing the host! DH often wants to drop me at doors to places but I usually insist on walking in with him (unless it is pouring rain but even then I usually wait under a covered area).

118.6 I think, this morning was so long ago!
Meant to go to water aerobics today but got busy doing business readying activities and before I knew it the class had already started and I didn't want to join in late.
I officially have a vendor spot, sign a 6 month contract on Saturday. Start date is March 1st but I can start setting up the booth anytime after Saturday.
Went to Lanai ladies happy hour tonight and it was fun!
Leftover enchiladas for dinner!
Tomorrow is a super busy day, water aerobics at nine, cut and color at 11:00 and a couples massage at 1:45. I should have Bible study at 10 too but won't be able to fit it in!

Greetings all
The sun was out this morning though it is cloudy now. I think our storms are not over but just paused. I spent most of the day doing grown up stuff like banking for the gallery and figuring out our new sales tax payment schedule since we got into a higher income range. They sent a letter to go to the web site but the site does not provide visible instructions for this. I had to call for assistance and it is so dumb that they don't tell you on the site how to do this. Very easy but too obtuse. I told them that in my customer service review. That done. I paid car registration and went to the gym.
Yay Liz, kids coming back from Poland and maybe future grand kids. How fun. Good that Justice has a happy place to go to.
Peps you are shrinking away! Awesome. You earned it. And yeah pancakes don't even sound good though I guess there is some kind of protein pancake mix but that does not sound good. Anyway congrats.
CC I am with you - hate going to a new place where I know no one. But do it if only to snoop through what is probably a cool house. If you liked Department Q you might also like Hijaked. First season is a plane, second one a train. What next, a row boat?
Not much else. I have pork chops for tonight which I think will include bbq sauce.

198.7 - Well bust my buttons! I can't even remember the last time I dropped below 199.something.
It was cold yesterday. We had snow on the mountain. Very pretty, but for a CA with less padding than I used to have.... BRRRRR.... A little warmer today. Got up to the low 50s and only occasional showers. Tomorrow another storm is supposed to come through with another couple inches of rain.
It's Ash Wednesday, so that meant that last night was pancakes for dinner. YUCK! But it's a tradition that Ron loves. Fat Tuesday, don't you know! So, I made pancakes with scrambled eggs and some low fat, some type of paleo high protein chicken/basil sausages.
I am back to "body parting" out my workouts this week. Chest and back MWF, legs TTh. Felt good to do a full leg workout yesterday. I'll do a push pull tonight after my dog club meeting.
Not much else going on here today.

191.2 Pleased with that given all my eating! We went to have Chinese last night.
It's a rainy day here. There is a Sedona Arts Center patron's open house at a home today and I am going to check it out as I'm hosting the one in May and have never been to one. I want to see what's expected of me! I asked my folks and no one wants to go with me... The only thing I dislike more than a party thrown by someone I don't know is a party thrown by someone I don't know where I have to walk in alone!
We finished Dept Q. Great even the second time around.
I think my rug comes tomorrow. Though the company seems to be based in Paradise Valley, AZ, they are made up of two companies (?) and this shipped from Germany yesterday and should be here tomorrow. How crazy something can get here that fast from the other side of the world.
Time to hop into the shower. Have a great day!
