Super nice day. Framed out the divider in the shed I'm converting into a chic, duck coop. I ran out of gas so will get more done this weekend if it doesn't rain.
Yep, I was right. Gained 1 pound. Dang it! Have no idea what I did different to make me gain. I did eat that taco salad last week and a starbucks frappuccino last week but I counted the points in them. Oh well, there's always next week.
Lots to do tomorrow and I'm already ready for tomorrow night when I can sit on the couch and veg for a while. Maybe tomorrow'll go by fast.

Oh and some exciting news!! Hubby said we're going off for a weekend together next month. Remember he won that package that included two nights at the marriot, two city passes which gives you access to several attractions around, and two steak dinners.
Aint that the truth?!
I'm glad we werent still in our old house. I can only imagine what that basement looks like right now. It would get a few gallons with a "regular" rain. A few dozen gallons with a hard rain. There's probably enough water to flow out the back door on its own by this point.
Once you start getting as close as you are, it's not about just points, or just fats, or just calories. It's about EVERYTHING. Carbs, proteins, fiber, fat, vitamins, minerals... It's tough trying to balance your entire daily nutritional card. For example, today, I was under on calories and fat. Unfortunately, I was also under on protein and fiber, and over on carbs. I'm expecting a 1-2 pound gain in one day because of today's carelessness (but deliciousness!). About the only thing to counteract a one pound gain is a four letter word that has eight letters, starts with an ex, and ends in sweat, fatigue, and in extreme cases, has been know to make people poop their pants.
Mornin' all.
We have SUNSHINE!!!
Can someone tell me why I waited so long to pop my own popcorn? It's soooooo much better than the microwave stuff. And one small bag of kernels was $2 for 25 servings.
Yep. That's all I've got.

We have sunshine today too! Yesterday was gloomy.
No clue there James, we only do the micro popcorn when it's a fundraiser. I love my popcorn maker.

I can't come up with any GOOD ideas for the trick or treaters. The best I could do was "pick'em off with a paint ball shot as they walked by the house." 
Mrs Punkin gave me the evil eye so I guess that one is out...

I like that idea. Much better than my dressing up and daring them to walk up to the hut. Last time I did that I made a little clown cry. oops.
I'm a stick in the mud when it comes to halloween. Both kids aren't trick or treating any more and I personally don't like handing out candy. Therefore, my front porch light is turned out, one small light left on in the front part of the house and tv is played low until it's about over. The dogs drive me nuts barking either way. Morgan wanted to go out this year and asked me to buy her a costume. I told her no, she could make up her own costume if she was going with friends. Well, now she got in trouble again so she's not going at all. Her socializing is limited to school and well, that's about it for now.
It's been so busy today. Two doctor appointments for me and Alex this morning. He was running 2 hours behind. Ran from there back to the house to drop off Alex and run on to my next appointment at 1. Made a quick Walmart run after that and came home around 3:15. Morgan and I are leaving in about 45 minutes to go to her school chorus concert that will last 1.5 hours and is mandatory for them to stay for the whole thing. My in laws wanted to come too so meeting them there before the concert starts. Yippie! I will make sure not to mention anything going on with us as a whole, singly or anything involving the kids in any way, shape, or form so as to keep my self out of the blame loop. Hubby will not be there tonight since he's at work. Hoping to make it home by 9.

Whew, what a day! Sometimes it's so hard being a postie without slapping somebody upside the head. And I'm talking about co-workers, for the most part the customers are OK.

Can I give that a dislike?
Gem of the day over here. A new customer invited me to hear a presentation on organic foods. Then ended the invite with: It's a lot of information, I don't imagine you'll comprehend it all, but please come. WHAT?????? After she left I asked Mr. V: Do I look like I'm as stupid as a stump?
The work day is about over, right?

Sitting here waiting for it to be time to go into the auditorium . I got a good parking space right up front in front of the faculty and staff parking only sign. [emoji23]
