Obsessing over:  the million and one little details I need to keep track of this week. Life seems to have switched into high gear for us this week and I’m just trying to juggle it all AND get the laundry done. The dishes? Don’t even mention the dishes.

Feeling: more than a little proud of myself after finding out this morning that 1) I’ve lost 3.5 pounds since starting my diet two weeks ago and 2) my gums are little by little getting healthier after my last dental appointment. All my little “pockets” in the back of my mouth are each one mm smaller – yay for healthy eating and dental hygiene!

Working on: um, you know, the usual. I have a few beading projects I need to work on, trying to get all the daily chores around the house done, oh and we bought a truck. You know, normal stuff.

fun in the sun

Thinking about: hehehe, did you see how I did that? Bringing up something pretty exciting and then dropping the topic altogether. Yeah so we’ve been planning to get Dan a pick up truck for awhile now but have been holding out for the right “deal” basically and this weekend we stumbled upon a 2006 Dodge Dakota with excellent mileage for an excellent price. A great test drive and some paperwork later and we were the proud new owners. This morning we finished the loan paperwork and picked up the truck. Dan is needless to say, pretty thrilled.

Reading: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess. You guys, this book is so funny I nearly pee myself while reading it. Just ask Dan how funny I think it is when he’s trying to sleep and I’m reading “just one more chapter” and all of a sudden the bed starts shaking with my laughter because OMG. It’s like reading her blog except EVEN better. And also, I’m discovering that I have more in common with Jenny than I realized (besides the same first name) and I’m not sure how I feel about that…

Anticipating: a board meeting this week (only a nerd like yours truly would be excited about that) and a book swap Friday night! It was postponed from a couple weeks ago but I’m looking forward to it! Yay for new books!

Listening to: MM playing some computer game in the living room, I think it might be an Arthur game from PBS. It’s obnoxious but BB is napping and I’m getting my own computer time, so I’m not complaining.

Drinking: my 5th glass of water of the day. 3 more to go!

MM writing thank you notes for his birthday

Wishing: That I could occasionally play hooky from this whole WW thing, like for tonight – going to a birthday party with the kids. It’d be nice to enjoy some pizza and cake without worrying over points. BUT after the progress I made last week, I’m not about to throw all that away now!
