September and Sunny
Ha...it's been so long since I've blogged, I had to stop and think about my password to get onto here! How's that for pathetic!?!?
Can you believe the 'fall' we're having, it's the summer we never had, even with humidity!! It's Sept. 24th and we've had the air conditioner on! OK, so my toes are cold right now, but hey...I have a cold and the cooler air is much nicer for breathing purposes! (I'll put socks on later)
I think my new favorite breakfast is a western egg and cheese English muffin. No, the egg isn't from the west, I'm referring to it being cooked in the 'western omelet' way...green peppers, onions, and bacon instead of ham. (no, no potatoes) I do add a dash...well, OK, a few dashes of Red Hot sauce too :) All I have to do now is figure out how many carbs is in that nice little meal. Yes, I'm on a diet, which is absolutely and perfectly fine with me!! Maybe I'll even lose a little weight before I gain it all back!! ;) I do like eating healthy though, it's kinda like a challenge...no, it really IS a challenge! I'm up for it though.
It's a very exciting time right now....Homecoming time! As you know, or have read before, we've had 3 Homecoming Kings in our household; Jon, Ben and Alex. Well, just this week, Emily was voted onto the Homecoming Court!!! **applause** We went dress shopping a couple of weeks ago already, so, that task is done! We have yet to find shoes, that task is this weekend! She's really thinking about buying a pair of cowboy boots to go with her dress, we already saw them and she tried them on before. Oh yeah...I do mean cowboy boots...their homecoming theme is "Country", the boots really do go well with the dress too! Her dress is tea length, Ivory in color with a Champagne colored satin sash around the waist. The boots are a 3/4 length boot, not high ones. She wanted to wear a hat, too, but that just wouldn't work out with hair-do and (hopefully) a tiara!!! We'll know on the 2nd of October :)
I'm finding it very hard not to think about May and June! Those are going to be busy, busy months! With Em being a senior, I have to get all the plans in motion for her graduation party. I think she's planning to have a recital at her party too, that's going to be cool! Last year, at Alex's grad party, the theme was cupcakes, next year at Em's it's going to be Cheesecake! I've already seen in my mind how I want the table to look! I can't wait! Of course, Em really only wants me to concentrate on cheesy potatoes and BBQ venison again...oh, and meatballs!
Have I mentioned that I'm happy?
Whoever came up with the idea of lotion in tissues, they're a GENIUS!!!!!!!!! I really feel like I should take stock out in Puff's Plus...they've been my friend and companion these past few days! I used Kleenex brand for a day, my nose is STILL sore from them :( I now have my beloved lotion filled tissues! The only bad thing about them...you can't clean your glasses with them!!!!! Yeah, I tried that once...years ago...not a good outcome!
(miss you, Sarah)
I suppose I should get going and figure out my carb count and figure out what I might eat the rest of the day. If I plan it out, I'll be less inclined to cheat ;)
Y'all go out and take a lovely fall walk today!
Love Ya :)
