Bragging

I joined Weight Watchers... finally decided to do something about how unhappy I am with my weight. I did my second weigh in yesterday and I'm down 3.4 lbs. It's not alot but I didn't really count points and/or put a big effort into it. My main effort has been cutting back. I really want to follow it correctly and I will start diligently (trying - its hard) to count points after this weekend (going out of town with Gracie and my friend and her 3 kids).
Anyway, just wanted to put it out there that I've lost almost 3 1/2 lbs so far... Only about 28 1/2 to go (AT LEAST!)

On to Sunshine... Had her 2nd grade Parent Teacher conf last night. She's ahead of the standard for reading, on the mark for writing and math. She got all 3's (4 is the highest but that's only giving if the student is WAY ahead... like should be in the next highest grade)

My day

I just spent the afternoon with an adorable younger man. It was the best impromptu date I've ever had. I may share more later but for now, that's all I'm saying.
I've never enjoyed applying carmex so much. LOL
