We drove to Pueblo armed with G00gle directions to the State Fair Grounds. Which we promptly disregarded when we saw a sign for exiting the freeway to get there 2 exits before the exit on our instructions. And after weaving our way through a good part of Pueblo, getting lost once and having to turn around, we found the grounds and the free Pueblo Holiday Bazaar. I love Free!!

It was maybe 2/3 of the size of the fair at the Expo in the Springs, but it was more crafty and not so high-end. Much more our speed, really. We found a bunch of stuff that we bought, plan to buy, or wanted to buy. Actually, I wanted to buy almost everything – I was a little out of control. Mom and I had P with us and she did great. She was enthralled with all of the jewelry, just like me, and we had fun perusing and trying on together. Mom mentioned that she sees a lot more of the merchandise when she goes with me because I stop to actually LOOK at so much stuff. We left there at about 2 PM to head back to the Springs. The whole day was overcast, foggy, occasionally raining, and chilly. But luckily, not icy until later on at night.

Upon arriving in the Springs we had to postpone our meal-eating plans in order to get to Liberty HS in time to see their fair before it closed at 4. We arrived at 3:30 and walked around quickly to make sure we saw everything. We only stopped a couple times, which I was kind of bummed about because I didn’t like feeling so rushed. It was worth it to see the Pueblo show, but I wish I’d realized the Liberty fair was closing, or that we were running so late, just a little earlier. We purchased a couple of little twist drums for P and K2 – that was the item P chose over all the other things she was enthralled by.

We then stopped by Chick-fil-A where I had a chicken salad sandwich, fries, and a shake. Decadent, and yummy. At home, we decided suddenly (K, K2, P, and I) to run to the store and return our upstairs TV for a different model with a clearer picture. We got back at 7:42, which was 12 minutes late for watching my niece A. As we drove by to turn around in the end of our culdesac, we opened the garage, and F (my SIL) basically shoved her daughter out of the car to come up and wait for us in our garage while she drove away before we’d even pulled around and parked in front of out house. Geez. Anyway, the kids had a blast playing together until…… 11 PM. Yup, that’s right my kids were up until 11 PM because F arrived back at our house shortly before 9 PM and we sat and talked for 2 hours. Enjoyed the talk, wished the kids could have been in bed while we chatted.

So I didn’t get a workout in yesterday which I was kind of bummed about. There’s a chance I’ll work out today.

It snowed overnight and K and I stayed up much too late (he got home around 11:45 and I was still awake), K2 woke me up with his crying at 3:15, and I woke up feeling like crap. So we didn’t go to church. I didn’t get out of bed until about 11:00 AM, K got up around 10:00 to answer K2’s call and then got up around 10:30 again when the kids came and jumped on him (thankfully leaving me alone for once). K and I made pancakes and eggs (the processed, not-good-for-you kind) and ate at about midday. That’s all I’ve had to eat today so far, though I’m thinking a yogurt is in order here shortly.

I didn’t weigh myself this morning. Yesterday morning I was 186.5.

This coming week should be pretty normal. Work three afternoons. Work outs. Might need to do some more grocery shopping for a few things. Hopefully won’t leave all the cleaning for Friday afternoon again.

Saturday is a MK meeting at my director’s house at 9:30 AM. Possible craft fair at a local High School. Work Christmas Party at MacKenzie’s steak house downtown. Promises to be a lot of great food for free, so K and I are going to treat it like a free date for us since I SUCK at mingling in large groups. My friend advised me to not worry about my lack of mingling skills or to put that pressure on myself. To just enjoy my husband’s company, talk to anyone that chooses to come and talk to me, and eat great food. All of which is great advice and so that’s what we’re going to do. Planning on having K’s mom watch the kids since she arrives in town on Friday for Thanksgiving week.

That’s about all from here. We’re staying indoors today. K’s watching the Broncos. The kids are playing with their drums. I’m writing this post and reading blogs.

Later gator.

And cleaned. And cleaned and organized some more. I feel like I accomplished a lot, so that’s a nice feeling. Three or four times in the last hour, I’ve told myself I don’t have to work out, then changed my mind and told myself I do have to work out. Right now, I’m on working out – affirmative and in the plans for as soon as the kids are a-bed. We shall see what happens. Feeling kind of stuffed up from fighting this cold all week, but that might be compounded by all the dust I breathed in today while cleaning spots that haven’t been dusted in months (namely, stairwell alcove, one of our only storage spots in this house).

Tomorrow, Mom and I are going to Pueblo to the Holiday Bazaar at the Colorado State Fair Grounds. We’re taking P, but leaving K2 with K. After the Pueblo fair, we may or may not go to the fair we’d planned on going to until I found out about the Pueblo one today, which is up at Liberty HS. If the Pueblo one is really great, we might not bother because it will be underwhelming.

K’s going to try and get the floor finished and next week he’s said he’ll help me get the baseboards painted so we can get this room looking “finished”. So excited! I’ve been trying to find some replacement dining chairs on craigslist since ours have rollers that don’t roll properly and are quite heavy. If I sit with my full weight and try to roll in one, the rollers lock up and mark the new floor. Can’t have that. So far, I’ve been unsuccessful finding a good fit on craigslist that I can afford, but I’ll continue to look.

Sunday is stake conference, which means instead of keeping our kids ‘reverant’ for one hour, we’d have to keep them happy and semi-quiet for 2. And then home instead of on to 2 more meetings (during which they’d normally be in Primary). We will try to make ourselves go, but we’re both feeling kind of unmotivated to make it through the 2 hours. That’s horrible, I know. I’m sure my guilt-factor will go up by Sunday morning and we’ll probably go. And I’m sure be enriched for the experience. Maybe K2 will get tired and want to sit in my lap the whole time. Not!!

Other than the craft fair, I have no plans for tomorrow. I’d like to get to Walmart and buy the semi-gloss spray paint for the baseboards. I need about 4 more cans of the stuff. And that’s about it.

This is (as usual) a very unexciting post.

This is my first week to have successfully followed through on going into the office 3 times. And boy, oh boy, did I take advantage. Little heath bars, candy jars full of Halloween candy, donuts in the office, the snacks and food that I brought with me. And more heath bars. And then some more heath bars. And it hasn’t been much better when I’ve been at home. Well, scratch that, its been better, just not great.

I took Tuesday night off, and ate way too much. I worked out Monday and Wednesday nights, and I’m planning on working out tonight. T-Tapp maybe. I hope to go for a run outside tomorrow.

But I have to find a way to reign in the monster while I’m at the office. If I’m there M, W, and Th, that’s a lot of extra sugar that I don’t need but am having a really hard time staying away from. Is it ridiculous to seriously go to each person whose jar I have a hard time staying out of – when I get there – and asking them to put their jar in the far reaches of their cube so its not right on the edge and available? At least until I’m gone? It seems so stupid, but I’m seriously considering it with one jar in particular. I dunno. I don’t think she’d mind. We’ll see on Monday when I go in next if I work up the umph.

So I’m still at 187. I was at 185 end of last week, and then I kind of lost it again. I am literally bouncing between 185 and 189. Frustrating, but obviously not enough for me to tighten up the program.

In other news, today K went out and bought a 30″ wide screen flat-screen TV for our bedroom. He figured out how to get the wire up out of the crawl space and hooked to the DVR without drilling a hole in our new laminate flooring. And he had it all set up and was hoping to surprise me with it all working – but he managed to damage the cable so it has to be replaced. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with Dish Network after he showed it all to me figuring out that we think its all hooked up right and the only explanation is the cord. It was such a surprise when he brought me into the room!!! I had no idea and even P managed to keep the secret! It is so big and beautiful and will make watching TV up there so much more enjoyable! I’m looking forward to using it the first night I can that I don’t work out – the nights I have a hard time with munchies.

The laminate is 95% laid down. I’m hoping he’ll finish it this weekend. I also need to spend some time on Saturday painting the baseboards – I’m sure its going to be easier than I have it built up in my mind to be. I’d love for the room to be “finished” looking within the next week or so. Or at least before Thanksgiving.

Have to work a little in the morning, but I’d like to have more hours on this payperiod anyway, which ends tomorrow. Then the run outside and that’s all I have going on tomorrow really. If it is warm, I should spend time painting the baseboards or sanding the swing set. Also dusting and vacuuming upstairs.

But I feel I should write down how high calorie today has been to try and stop myself from eating anything else tonight, and also remind myself that I need a good workout tonight.

• Green oats w/ pb & pomegranate arils
• 1/2 a piece of pao de queijo
• Chicken/minced brocolli/refried black beans/cheese/ww tortilla burrito
• clif kidz brownie bar granola bar
• pomegranate arils & roasted chickpeas
• 3 bite-size heaths and an atomic fireball jawbreaker
• 1 fun size snickers, 1 fun size kitkat
• 3 whoppers, big lemonhead
• 6 or so bites of cobbler upon arriving home
• crock pot chuck roast, carrots, corn, rice pilaf (about 1/2 cup)
• 2 grands biscuits w/ spreadable fruit on them
• 2-3 more bites of cobbler

Um, I think now would be a good time to stop. Yes?

Friday:

A good day, I think. I honestly can’t remember much of anything from Friday except going to a birthday party in the evening for a little boy in our ward who was turning 4. P, K2, and I went and they kids had a good time. I spent half the time talking to other parents, and half the time feeling awkward. When we got home (the party was at 5), I needed to feed us something healthy since all that was offered at the party (right in the middle of dinner time) was some weird cheese burritos (had one, ok), chips, and cake. So I settled on the quickness of scrambled eggs w/ cheese and chopped-into-super-tiny-bits brocolli. We had toast with the eggs, and surprisingly enough despite the visible green in their eggs, they still ate them. And they were tasty. I was happy that I hadn’t decided to swing by a drive-thru.

Saturday:

Had a BLAST at the Ph1l L0ng Exp0 craft fair with my mom and dad. We were there longer than I’ve ever lasted before – in years past I was mostly interested in the food tasting stations and that was about it. I would stop at other stations, but know I wasn’t going to spend the money no matter how much I liked it. I don’t know if my attitude was different this year, or if it was just because I knew I could spend SOME money, but I was interested in so many things! We stopped at so many booths, Dad was getting impatient at some due to our indecision when choosing what to buy (or not buy). I ended up buying 2 things for the kids (a marker/air brush set that they can share and some play clay that is a HUGE step up from playdoh – it doesn’t dry out and it has some fun cookie cutters, roller pin, and mat), 1 thing for me (I finally found a piece of pretty dicroic glass that I could afford!! $9 for my pendant!! More exclamation marks!!! All the others I’ve found and been interested in for 3 years now were $22 and up.), Mom and I bought 7 headbands (she paid for this I couldn’t have afforded it) for me, P, my sister, her daughter, etc. I put the headband on right away – they tie around your head and I finally have been shown how to do the bangs-in-front-of-headband look! I bought K some beef jerky that he unfortunately doesn’t like – and I don’t even think the guy gave me the right flavor. Disappointing since the samples were SO good.

Mom and Dad bought some other stuff, including some yummy raspberry balsamic vinegar, tickets to what promises to be a great concert and show, some felt books that I’m going to have to help Mom cut out and put together, and the headbands I already mentioned.

I could have purchased a lot more stuff if I’d had a bigger budget. A really cool cheese grater, more jewelry, some more toys for the kids, a beautiful painting for P’s room, a little scooter toy that goes by turning the handles and holds little kids or adults, dips, vinegar, nuts, paintings for the house, tutus (Mom is going to help me make one for P on my own), dress for P (again, Mom says I can sew one like the dress I saw), and on and on.

After the Exp0, we went to the fair at Pine Creek HS, but we were in and out pretty quickly there. It was kind of small potatoes after the Exp0.

Saturday late afternoon when I got home, nothing much else happened. I did manage to squelch my instinct to order pizza or go get Subway enough to make homemade quesadillas and they were really good. I used canned chicken, refried black beans, minced brocolli, cheese, and whole wheat tortillas. Yum. They were definitely better with the refried beans than the last time I made them with whole black beans.

Saturday afternoon I also convinced K to help me move the furniture into its designated areas for the new floor. It took me a while to get the computer set up in the new corner, but I’m loving this arrangement. No cord strung along the wall for the modem since there is a phone jack right behind the computer over here. The room looks open and spacious and will look even more open when I get rid of the extra couch in the corner. So exciting.

Sunday:

We didn’t go to church because P coughed a lot all night and I woke up with a sore throat. So I figured it wouldn’t be good to go get contagious all over the folks at church. Instead, we had a quiet day at home. I made dried pineapple rings, cinnamon-spice roasted chickpeas (new recipe), pao de queijo. K made blackberry cobbler. I accidentally took a late nap from about 4 to 5 (fell asleep after reading my scriptures on the bed), then made dinner. Lightly floured chicken nuggets cooked in a tiny amount of coconut oil, quinoa, steamed garlic-salt zuchinni. It was pretty good, especially followed by K’s cobbler, which I ate way too much of.

We spent over an hour about midday on skype talking to my brother that is at officer school in Alabama right now from his station in Japan. It was weird talking to him when he’s in the country and not a day ahead of us, but it was nice because usually I talk to him at night when the kids and K are not around and its dark in the room. It was nice to have K and the kids available to contribute to the conversation.

Weighed in at 185 Friday morning. 186 Saturday morning. 185.5 Sunday morning. 187.5 this morning. Bummer, but its because I ate more than usual and later than usual yesterday. I worked out Friday and Saturday night.

Today is Monday. Have to get ready for work soon. Already put a chuck roast in the crock pot with some carrots and seasonings – I hope I’ve seasoned it pretty well since I usually don’t make a very good crock pot roast. All that leaves for K to do is make something to go with it such as rice or potatoes or noodles. Since this will be my first week working 3 afternoons in the office, I wanted to ease him into having to make dinner 3 times. I’d love to learn to use the crock pot better – so nice to have dinner done first thing in the morning!!

Check it out. Although, if you do that lowers my chances of winning. Oh, well, my chances are slim anyway with all the folks heading over there!

Wednesday I ended up not going into the office. Tuesday while I was out grocery shopping I got a call from K saying that K2 had started puking. I hurried and finished up and came home just in time for K2 to puke twice more. Had to shampoo carpet, change his bedding, and leave him in his diaper for a while as a precaution.

He seemed to feel fine after losing all his food, but we were careful for the rest of the evening with what we fed him. K continued to moan and groan – I swear he pulled muscles when he puked and that’s why he’s still sore tonight – 2 days later. K2 is also fine, and has been since Tuesday afternoon.

But just as a precaution, I kept P home from school yesterday and didn’t go into the office myself. We spent most of the day installing more laminate, though K was so tired and cranky by the end of the day that he was starting fights with me, which is usually my role. We got it almost completed, just a few more square feet. It looks amazing and is such a huge step up from particle board floors!!

I will run on my treadmill tonight for the first time since last week. I’m nervous about how it will be on the laminate, but I went and bought a new treadmill mat (my old one stuck to the garage floor and then ripped when I tried to pull it up to use it). So hopefully the mat will both keep me in place and sufficiently protect the floor from my pounding. We’re in the process of moving the entire living room around, so its all kind of make-shift right now until we finish up the last of the laminate tomorrow. I’m super-excited to have everything in place and to fully be able to enjoy the flooring. Swiffering, here I come!!!

I went to work today, and it was pretty productive. Got a lot of work lined up, so I have basically as many hours of work there as I want. I’m excited about the money, and not so excited about being sucked back into them depending on me. I’m going to have a to full on quit again and I wonder how long it will be before I do it for real. Perhaps when the next baby comes along. Goodness knows I don’t have maternity leave now that I’m flex with no benefits.

Weighed in at 186 this morning. Even though I haven’t been working out much the past few days, I’ve tried to shut myself down at night for eating. I got my fill of Halloween candy this weekend and now I’m staying out of it. Had a little too much to eat at the office today, but I also didn’t have my afternoon snack. So hoping to have 186 again tomorrow and hoping for 185 soon. Of course, I’m barely post-peri0d and this is when I feel most in control. Hope to keep up the good work.

Oh, and I’m in love with pomegranate arils. Bummed though that I bought 4 for $7.88 at Sams only to find out they are a dollar each at Walmart. Hope to stock up - I have a feeling I’m going to be looking forward to pomegranate season from now on.

Ok, so I went to all the trouble of helping my kids collect candy. They actually collected candy two nights in a row. I literally have a small rubbermaid storage container full of candy. It is on top of the fridge. I combined their two bags into it and have been digging in ever since. Last night I finally decided there was nothing else in there that I really want, but I know when it comes down to munchy, crunchy, I-want-sugar time, that won’t hold.

So, what should I do? My 2-year old won’t care if the candy disappears. Sure, he’ll ask for some and he’ll get told no, but he’ll get over it. My 5-year old will know. And question. And maybe cry. But we’ve all been getting way more than our quota of sugar for the last few days, her included. Its not good for her teeth, her bones, her health, or…. well, anything. Do I throw away candy that I purposely brought into my home? Is that wasteful? Should I have her pick a few things that she really wants and set them aside for rationing a couple a week? Should I throw away all the candy that is even MAYBE going to tempt me?

I don’t know what to do with it. But I know I have to do something, because having a huge case of candy at arms length is not helping me or my health, or my family’s health. If we’re going to snack, there are so many better options. Of course, we don’t have a lot of those options in the house right now.

I was going to go grocery shopping today, and then K started installing the laminate flooring yesterday with plans to finish it today. So I was going to dedicate myself to making sure I helped him with that this afternoon. But he woke up this morning at 5:30 and started puking by 6. He’s had diarrhea and more puking since then, and he’s in a lot of abdominal pain. He had me look up appendicitis symptoms – I hope that’s not it. Its probably callous of me to say, but I hope we don’t have to take him to the hospital; we still haven’t paid off the bill from June when he went in from dehydration and diarrhea.

This makes me want to get my family healthy. I feel like even though I’m still overweight and could be stronger, that I’m healthy. And strong. I try to give my children good things to eat, to bolster their immune systems with whole foods, etc. But I feel like I’m not doing a good enough job. And its even harder to make my husband eat healthily. Do I need to start making 3 meals a day for him, too? Perhaps I should. Perhaps I should make him eat what I eat. And like it dangit. So that he’ll be not just strong in physical strength, but strong in his immune system, and internal workings. I dunno if that makes sense.

The floor situation and the candy situation helped me develop some kind of excuse for not working out last night. Not cool. I want to be motivated again, and I’m struggling. Again. Sheesh. Well, its a new day.

Food adventures over the last couple days:

Whole wheat spinach pumpkins this morning for myself and the kids. Used enough red food coloring to turn them mostly pink, though they were kind of brownish pink when cooked. I had greek nonfat yogurt and berries on my pancakes.

Yesterday had an egg & shredded zuchinni burrito for lunch w/ some sharp cheddar cheese. Delicious.

Last night went to Olive Garden with a couple friends. Ordered a shrimp and cheese tortillini dish that came SWIMMING in butter and grease from the cheese. I ate most of the tortellinis and all of the shrimp, but I definitely wished it hadn’t come with so much grease on it. I had a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert that was super-rich but super-yummy. But I didn’t finish it because I was stuffed. Don’t get me wrong, I almost finished it. But I was proud of myself for leaving those last 6 bites or so – and of my favorite part no less: the crust. While waiting to meet up with my friends, I walked around Borders and then the mall a bit and ended up buying a snickerdoodle and a brownie at this new place that is in the location where Mrs. Field’s used to be. Yeah, I had a couple bites of each and they just didn’t compare to Mrs. Field’s. I left them in the car while at the restaurant, and then when I went to get the kids at my parents’ house, I left them with my mom for them to eat or throw away. I was happy with myself about this, too, because with the mood I was in when I got home I definitely would have eaten both.

Dinner was pleasant, the conversation flowed. But it just wasn’t as fun as it used to be for us to go out. I don’t know if its because they’ve changed or because I have – I’m inclined to think its me. Strangely enough, I don’t feel like I have anything in common with either of these two girls anymore. I say strange because we all have small children, we’re around the same age, we’re all LDS. But other than that, I don’t think there’s any common factors anymore as far as interests go. More and more, I’m enjoying my strange food adventures. I like talking about them. I like to talk about working out. I would love to have a conversation with someone that had some ideas for me! Some new takes, stuff to try. Or that just didn’t mind talking about my strange food intake without making faces and getting kind of grossed out. This might be too much to ask. And other than that, I don’t really have any hobbies. Which probably makes me the person that isn’t very interesting. Point is, I didn’t have a blast. It was a pleasant evening but the highlight of it was the time I spent with my mom after handing over the kids and the time I spent at their house picking up the kids and laminating my two ‘ideas’.

The kids had fun at grandma and grandpa’s last night. They dressed up and got some candy, which they thankfully haven’t asked for yet today. This evening they’ll get to dress up again and we’ll go to our ward’s Halloween party. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to go to the building in a few hours and help decorate. I’m looking forward to going to an activity with my husband; its been so long since K has been able to go due to work. He’s going to need to get started on his chili soon, so I’m glad to hear that he’s up upstairs.

Ate too much candy and sugar last night – too late into the night. Didn’t weigh myself this morning. Going to work out tonight. I didn’t last night when we got home after 9 PM and found Daisy had poo’d all over the laundry room (small room) and then spread it….. everywhere. I cleaned up some of it, but left the rest for K. I didn’t sign up for full-room wipedowns with getting dogs. This is his domain. If our kids spread poop on the walls, I’ll clean that up. But I’m not cleaning up dog poop.

Just found out I’m going to get picked up to help decorate at 2:30. Trying to decide if I shower before or after. I’m thinking after, before the party.

That sounds mean, but I really mean it. And if I could only know who’s day I ruined, or be there to see their chagrin and scrambling that would have made it even better.

So, let me explain. Its not really that big a deal, and there’s no way to know if I ruined someone’s day or not. Without going into a blow-by-blow of how this came about…… Our internet has acted squirrelly for a while now. Usually, we just keep closing the browser and starting over until we get one that “works” for some unknown reason. We’d get a ‘working’ browser window open, only to click on a link that opened a new window and have that window be a non-working one (white screen, thinking, thinking, thinking forever). Today for the first time in a long time I did some work from home. I had 3 TMs to edit and some website work to do, and the white screen, thinking forever with nothing coming up was driving me CRAZY today. And it seemed much worse than usual. So I called my dad after doing everything I knew how to do (clearing out cookies, running my virus and spyware scanner, etc.). And after some chattering on my part about symptoms we discovered that the Wireless light on my modem was blinking. As it usually was. Wait a minute!!! We don’t use the wireless!!! ……..

So, we shut the wireless off. And I hope the turd-butt that’s been using my bandwidth for who-knows-how-long had a HORRIBLE day after that! But who knows, really. That’s just me hoping. And I haven’t had a white-non-working browser window since. Blissful. I guess I just took for granted that people are honest and upstanding. And so many of them aren’t. I knew what that blinking wireless light meant – I should have thought of that much sooner. So I guess its my fault, too. Anyway, someone out there is all of the sudden left without their free internet. Whoohooo!! And mine works right!!!

In other, less vindictive news, I put pumpkin in my green blended oats this morning!! And it was super-yummy. I put in spinach as usual but there wasn’t a lot left of my pre-steamed spinach, so I put in a spoonful of pumpkin puree, and ate it all in the almost-empty peanut butter jar. Nom nom, as the bloggers say.

I also dehydrated some canned pineapple rings yesterday and they are also tasty. Nice little snack for exercising your jaw.

K started pulling floorboards off the walls today in preparation for trying to get as much of the laminate flooring down tomorrow as possible. I don’t know how that will go because I have a pretty packed today planned tomorrow and K doesn’t seem to do very well when I have a lot going on – even if my stuff shouldn’t interfere with his stuff. Is that mean to say? Well, its true.

On the books for tomorrow:

• Conference call at 1:00 for work, its looking like I will be picking up some more hours as the person that does a lot of our website support is switching jobs to HR department as of Monday. Probably at least one more afternoon a week and some working at home. We need the money, so I’m trying to be cheerful about it. I’m hoping this will help me have some money for Christmas shopping.
• Parent-teacher conference at 2:40 for P’s kindergarten 1st quarter. Excited to talk about my daughter and be told she’s wonderful. Oh, that might not happen you say? Well, I can hope.
• Leaving the house by 3:20 to meet my mom at the south gate of the AFA to send the kids off with her, packing their Halloween costumes so they can attend her ward’s trunk-or-treat with her.
• Go over to the mall or some other place I can hang out reading books, browsing through stuff I can’t buy, etc. Kill time up on the north end of town until I meet the girls (2 women from my ward) at 5:30 at Olive Garden for girls’ night out dinner.
• After dinner and some fun chatting and catching up (probably around 7:30 or so), drive north to Monument to pick up kids

So I’ll need to be ready and dressed for dinner basically by my 1:00 conference call, since there isn’t a break anywhere in there with sufficient time to get ready. We shall see how the floor installation goes considering he hasn’t got his butt in gear as early as he’d have to to have my help in a while. But it’ll be a good day! I’m excited, even if the flooring doesn’t go in. There’s always next week.

Saturday the only things going on that I know of is K making his chili for the cook-off and our Halloween party for our ward. I might go to the church earlier in the day and help decorate one of the rooms. Other than that it shouldn’t be too stress-inducing. Then, Sunday, I teach.

Hoping for a good workout tonight. Later!!
