the funny thing: with how busy i've been : i've been to the gym only once... yet i've lost 17 lbs!
i'd say betsy is on to something!
and on this path: 15 more to go to reach my august 1st goal. i can do this.
and i believe that by my birthday i can be at my all time final goal.
woopee!
this is a great feeling after such a nice weekend.
i went to take pictures of my niece Chloe - since she's a whole 10 days old!

and i held her and we posed her all over for pics. she's such a doll.
and i had my first boat ride on a neighbor's pontoon. at dark, under the fireworks with Evan. it was pretty romantic even though we were surrounded by people we had just met. we drank and partied and laughed. went home and fought lol . i laugh because we fought because Evan was so drunk he could barely walk and wasnt making sense at all. it was frustrating and upsetting, but mildly amusing to look back on. plus he made up for it yesterday by being very sweet and apologized.
then yesterday we had brunch at Gracie's Place (my friend's mom's tea house). and it was DELICIOUS. i had tomato basil bisque and Evan had squash bisque. Brooke was hilarious and Vivi (our 3 year old god daughter) was in top form. and drew a great picture of us.
then we washed cars and did some grocery shopping and wrapped up our night with Dustin.
the three of us grilled and sat on the deck. then watched American Pickers while Dustin and i job searched for him... all in all: GREAT day!
okay. back to the daily grind...
