Hmm, no title comes to mind...

The spare bedroom is all done. I posted pictures on my facebook page. I just have to take a few more pictures of it completely completed. I am very satisfied with how it turned out and was glad that the room is "green" in that I didn't buy any new furniture but used what I had. The only sort of exception was a chair that I bought at the Salvation Army in Quincy to use as a desk chair. I cleaned it and polished it up and it fits in perfectly. The room is very relaxing and cozy, it will be perfect for guests. We are planning on putting up the door this Sunday after we get back from church. Hopefully it won't take us as long as it did the last one.

I checked out PAW last week but didn't really find any dogs that I thought would work with us. They don't have a lot of small dogs right now, which, I suppose is a good thing because that means they are in homes. So we are going to go down to Rutledge in July and find a beagle or something of that sort. We are both really looking forward to having a pet.

I am taking a "vacation" from June 29th through July 6th. I will be off for eleven days in a row and I can't wait. Mom and I are going to paint the living/dining room on the 29th and 30th. It is the last area that I have wanted to paint and the biggest. With two of us, it should go well. I can't decide if I want to prime it or not, though I know I should. Hopefully Steve will help me tape it off and that will make it go faster. Jenn will be here on the 2nd of July through the 6th. And of course my birthday is on July 4th. It's going to be an exciting and busy week! I am going to go see Wil in Morton on the 26th. I will leave after work and then be back on Saturday, hopefully before church starts. Steve will be off that same week that I have off so that will be nice. I am definitely looking forward to July!

Fighting the good fight

I have been insanely busy lately with work and life and everything else. Things are slowing down a little bit and I still have plenty of things to catch up on but I'm getting there. I will have a CT scan done on my chest on Friday to see what the damage is there. Hopefully they will find something that will explain the pain I am having and make the car insurance understand that it is legitimate pain. I don't think they doubt that and they have no reason to, but it would still be nice to have some "proof". At least I think it is improving and my neck is finally improving so that is a major bonus. I have a busy few weeks ahead of me and then I hope it slows down a bit. Nedra's benefit is this weekend and I got the quilt all finished and it looks great. I am hoping to finally get the spare bedroom painted next weekend since it is a long weekend with Memorial Day. Then the weekend following that we have a wedding to attend for Steve's cousin. Well, only the reception actually as the wedding is private. After that it should slow down a bit, I hope. I know there is a million other things going on but I can't seem to formulate them into words on here so I will leave it for now. Perhaps I will add more later.

What a week

This week has been quite busy but I have been doing better on staying caught up with my notes. Now I just have to go back over the past year and get those caught up. Yikes. Today will be a slow day at work so I am getting some of my group stuff caught up right now. I didn't post last week but I gained 0.6lbs last week and lost 0.2lbs this week. So really I am kind of hovering where I am. I don't think I am plateauing yet but that I need to get back into exercising regularly. I have been very lax about doing so and I can tell the difference. While the weight has stayed about the same, the inches that I have lost have come back a little. Anyways, I need to get back to my work.

Weight Loss

Today was weigh-in day again. I lost another 0.8lbs so I am down a total of 13.2lbs so far. It's a damn slow process but if I tried a little harder I think it would come off a bit quicker. Tonight the bootcamp starts so that will help I think.

This week will start my insanely busy months. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I will have the bootcamp from 5:30-6:30. Thursdays I will have my incredible years parenting group that I am leading. So Tuesday nights will by my only free night for about the next 3-5 months. Holy cow!!
