Weigh in Wednesday

I am really good at maintenance. I wonder what would happen if I actually tracked all my points for one week. I am going to take that challenge.


By the way, this is a 2 pound gain from last week.

Cooking with Grandma

They made some delicious shortcakes.

Peachy Goodness

The real reason we went to Tulsa was to pick up Porter Peaches. They are so delicious. We always have to eat a couple right there.



The trunk is stuffed!

We take this picture every time we are together.

Oklahoma Aquarium

We visited the aquarium yesterday in Tulsa. What a beautiful place! So much to see.











Pudge, the beaver came out to play. She is very friendly.



Weekend Fun

This past weekend L and I went to Tulsa. We stopped for lunch at Toots in Howard.


We also stopped by Laura Ingalls Wilder's old home, post office and one room schoolhouse. The girls had a blast!

Camp Time!

L is at Girl Scout camp this week. It's day camp for most of the days and one overnight. She was so excited and nervous when we got to the bus this am.





As predicted, she had a wonderful time!

Oh Snap!

I put my sandals on in the dark. Looks like I got one of each. Luckily Jeff brought me the right one at lunch.

Weekend Fun

I didn't take photos of the reunion as it was dark, but I should get my photo booth pics soon. I had a great time. In addition to the parties, we went to the Farmers Market. I made Mandy stop at DD.




Ramona: the kitty. So sweet and loving. So mischievous. She loved L.


She's trying to nap. She was annoyed we were talking.

Tonight is my high school reunion. 20 years since I graduated. Amazing. Here's a few pictures I submitted to the video. Can't wait to see everyone.

Weigh in Wednesday

There is a break in my weekly weigh in. I woke up at 5 am with grossness coming out of both ends. I decided weighing wouldn't be reflective and therefore took the week off.

What's Wrong with this Picture?




Yup. That's my schoodle who figured out to climb on some old grass pile and a pallet to be able to look over the fence. I'm still laughing and shaking my head at the same time. Silly girl.

Titan 10K




I ran the 10K Sun Scorcher this am. It was hot, hot, hot. My time was nothing to do jumping jacks 80 minutes) but I had a great run and I'd thought I'd share why.

I haven't been training so I knew I wasn't going to run fast. Last year, I ran it and I was miserable. I was a little worried this am because I ate salty Mexican last night and that's not normally a good thing. But for today's sweaty run, it worked well. I brought my water bottle so I wasn't dehydrated.

I put my tunes on and started off at 7am. And then a thought occurred to me: run a mile for one of my "kids" who can't. So I picked one child for each of the six miles and ran knowing they can't run. It was a great motivating idea. I finished strong and was glad I ran this am.

New Do

I love my new haircut. I'm taking advantage of my wavy curls.

Weigh In Wednesday




Which girl went on vacation, didn't count any points and still lost 3 pounds? This girl!!

Don't worry...I'm back to counting and exercising regularly. I can tell we walked a lot. I feel stronger already.

*i shouldn't take my picture before coffee. Half the time it's sideways.

A Chillaxing Day

Today was a catch up. We got home around 1 AM, slept in until 10-12 (depending on the person). I got to enjoy reading the paper and watching TV alone. :).

Groceries were bought, clothes cleaned. And then the Lovings came over for supper. We had delicious steaks, sweet potatoes and veggies.

And some swimming. Lucy was worn out from all the activity.

On the Road Again

Our road trip ended with Shipley do nuts and a visit to traders Village. It's an outdoor flea market. Very interesting. Didn't buy much. I had fun just looking at everything.



Giant shaved ice at the market.

Day of Viewing

We started off the day at the Natural Science Museum. There was a really cool exhibit on Egypt.


Dinosaurs were everywhere!


Then we headed to the Children's Museum. It was cool but too many kids.


Finally, we stopped at the Aquarium. It was disappointing considering the other aquariums I've seen.


L got to pet a sting ray.

Space and Rides

What a busy and hot day! We started off at NASA. What a cool facility. We toured inside the space ships and mission control.









Then we headed to the Boardwalk. The kids rode rides for hours.






Jeff and L are in car #5.



What a fun and exhausting day!
