So, I finished my first week of my new healthy life style. I must say, it isn't much fun. BUT, I lost 4 pounds. So, I was encouraged by that. :-) Eating used to be fun for me. Not so much now. I have to learn not to eat for fun (and not because it tastes good), but just to eat to nourish my body. Easier said than done. Ugh. :-)
So, dh is deploying early. I can't say exactly when (never know who could be lurking HA!), but it's earlier than May. Quite a bit earlier. I.am.not.happy.about.that. He's leaving for CA this weekend to go to NTC for a month. I'm sure it'll be as much fun for his as it will be for me. Actually, he's a bit excited. His best friend Brian moved there in March. So, they'll get to hook up again! Yippee! He's hoping he'll be able to go to Brian's house to hang out for a bit and see his kids, but who knows. :-) So, dh gets a 4 day weekend on February 16-19. Where should we go? I informed him yesterday he's taking me somewhere fun since he's deploying so early. I'm thinking a day at MGM and SeaWorld? Watcha think? He wasn't impressed. lol. Especially since it's presidents day weekend. Both of those places will be mobbed. I'm seriously considering it though. We went to Magic Kingdom last year, so MGM would be fun this time, right? We can only afford one park at a time. lol.
Oh, did I tell you the President is coming to Ft. Benning on Thursday? A day after he announces his new Iraq plan? Gee.....I wonder why he's coming? :-) We're hoping to go see him, but I don't know the details yet. That would be a great field trip for the kids, eh? :-)
Knitting news....I am working on the foot of an American Girl sock. I hope it fits. The pattern calls for a size of double pointed needles that either I don't have or I just can't find. So, I went down a size. Whew.....they're tiny. :-) I'll probably finish the foot today, so I'll know if I can knit the match or if I need to just rip it out. I need to make a list of must-knits this year. Watch for that soon. :-) Until next time........
