Hooked up (ok that doesn't sound right), MET the resident south valley amazon goddess and we went a-biking, a-walking, a-running. She approved my impulse purchase of dishes. It is so hard to spend money. I went to Ikea yesterday and stress-bought a set of 18 basic white dishes, a pot set, and a couple of kitchen gadgets I have never had, including a steamer basket (I know--how lame, I've only been married for 13.5 years and have never been able to properly steam vegetables). Anyway, Marion approves, and Paul approves, so I decided to unwrap the goods and actually keep what I bought. We did 2.5ish, then 5 running, then a bit more, about 7.98 total. I had to change to street clothes at Marion's home and weighed myself at her home (I like her scale). While I was in the bathroom, she made me hot chocolate (how sweet) and offered me lots of food (do you want a string cheese? it'll give you protein. How about some sweet potatoes). I accepted an apple and went on my way. Volunteered in JJ's kindie class, man it's a zoo, and I think it will take some practice trying to herd the cats. Then grocery shopping, didn't buy any bad things to eat even though I was way hungry. Will go to Mickie's class soon to do a craft project. We are turning acorns into little pumpkins. Today we get them orange, then Thursday I go back and we put green stems and the jack o lantern faces on. They are so cute. Will do a modest elliptical workout this afternoon (meaning not trying to kill myself). PM 30 min mediumish elliptical workout and ab workout (abs take me about 30 minutes)
