Thank You!!! And other Tidbits...

A great-big, heartfelt thank you for all the kind words on my big milestone. I got 51 comments--even my hubby came out of the woodwork and left one. One for every pound and one from him. I was so honored and treasured each comment.

Sometimes this is a lonely journey and only others on the journey understand how important those milestones are. My best friend has not even asked me how I'm doing--and we talk once a week. I think the last time we had talked, I had lost around 20 or so pounds.

So anyway, I'm on top of the world. Thank you.

My hubby took me to dinner that night, and all three of us enjoyed overly spicy Mexican food. It was so hot I was tasting it the next morning. I don't like spicy food, but it was a joy to celebrate!

My son's birthday is next week and he and I are planning a trip out of town. He wants to eat at The Olive Garden and Fuddruckers. Olive Garden I can handle, but what on earth will I do at Fuddruckers??? That's a very dangerous place for me--the burger, the bun, the fries and the cheese...good grief! I think they have a Garden Burger, so I can go breadless with one of those, but that cheese...it's going to be tough.

Every school year, I plan into our calendar a few days off at DS's birthday. This year we're going to go to a zoo and perhaps a science museum. Depends on his mood. He also wants to go to a real mall. He has an itinerary all planned out, but I informed him to plan on exercise time for me. Yes, I'm going to take my FIRM video and workout in the motel. Pity the poor people below me. I'll pick a slow weights video so I don't stomp around too much--which means I'll have to pack weights. lol

The day we leave is my day. I have Googled and printed out a map of the area thrift stores. I am hoping and praying I find a lot of FIRM tapes! I have my fingers crossed.

Tomorrow we're going swimming in the big city with other homeschoolers. My son is excited, but me? I'm nervous. Time to come out of my shell and meet people I've never met before. Gag, I'd rather clean toilets. I'm not a social butterfly and prefer very small groups. That won't happen tomorrow, plus it will be hot and humid. I hope I make it through the day. When we're finished, I'm going to hit the four thrift stores in that town in search of what else, FIRM tapes. lol So at least there's a nice reward for making it through the day.

We've been very busy with school this week, and I'm very behind on blogs again. I always feel guilty when I get behind.

And with that, I had best get to bed because it's after the witching hour, I have to get up early so we can get our academics done and so I can get a workout in before we leave.
