Can I just say...It's absolutely GORGEOUS here today?! So exciting! The air smells amazing and it makes one want to get outside and dig in the dirt...(someone that's not me...LOL)...but I still enjoy the beauty of the weather! I'm so ready for summer, and can't wait to have the kids home!
Our hardwood floors get refinished in the Dining Room tomorrow. Because of the water damage and settling from the flood in the kitchen, there is much patching and matching to be done...so, we cleared out the room today, saying goodbye to the buffet and hutches we were so proud to buy when we bought our first home 13 years ago. In their place will go 2 built in buffets on either side of the pocket doors that will match the kitchen cabinetry; a project I've always dreamed about and am now going to see happen! The kitchen itself is plugging along. The countertop guy will be here tomorrow to template, and then we'll be 3 weeks down the road before the countertops go in. Then the rest of the cabinets and appliances can make an appearance. This has been a long journey! In fact, a friend the other day referred to it as "epic." And boy, is she right! I should've kept a journal! It will all be very worth it in the end. In fact, I'm kind of glad to not be going back to the dinner routine while school is still in session; too difficult to get back into the swing of things. However, I'll probably only get to just move into the new space when I'll leave for my month back East! Oh well...still very worth it!
Olivia graduates from 8th grade this week. There's a bucket o' committments built around that...dinners, dance, fun day at Fairmont Hot Springs, lunches, hair/nail appointments, pictures, decorating the facility, parent's dinner out, teacher letters/gifts...not to mention history project presentations, 3rd grade invention project, Kindergarten field trip and graduation, book signing, out of town visitors, appointments, and workouts, too! It's going to be a busy, busy week...and to top it all off, we'll leave for Spokane on Saturday to go see "Wicked!" **whew!** Deep, deep breaths...
My workouts cannot give, because I have 3 weeks until my 40th, and I've committed to working out every single day until then to see how it really affects my body. I'll be honest. Throughout this whole weight loss, I don't think there is a week that I've done more than 4 workouts! And I have about 3 more lbs to go before I hit 40lbs off! If I can do that, and maybe a bit more, I'll be thrilled...and so, I really want to see how doing my longer runs every single day will pay off. I'll keep you posted!
Until then, enjoy the bounty of Spring, and Summer!
