SUNSHINE!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to gather up the kiddies and go to a park today. This may be one of the last beautiful weekends of the year. They can ride bikes and I can walk. I think the week is supposed to be this kind of weather. Precisely the weather I CRAVE!

I'm officially down 36lbs. I'm over half way to my goal now. YAY!

On a completely different note, I am ready to unpack my sister's carousel horses and display them. I've looked at curios for a while and they are SSOOOOOOoooo expensive. I want to protect them but I can't afford to be financially raped by furniture stores.

So, there is this little alcove in our living room. I think it will be safe because it is a little out of the way. I need shelves there. ES has graciously agreed to help NGM build some and put them in for me. I told SB that I'd treat them to dinner. Maybe my dad's famous chicken and rice recipe. Hell, if I'm going to be thinking about my sister that day, I may as well think about dad too! ;)

So, here is the future spot of my wonderful shelves. I'm not sure I've ever been so emotionally attached to a project since decorating baby rooms.

Thank you ES for being so willing to help. Thank you SB for being excited that he was willing. The two of you amaze me. ♥

I hope you made it to the park today before it got all overcast and sprinkly. It WAS a beautiful morning - and the week is looking good too. Call me when you go walking and, if I can get away, I'll join you! Seriously.

That Eaglescout is so helpful and "Eaglescouty." I guess he'll be getting his "shelf building and installing" badge now :)

He is a good "installer". At least from what I've heard he is. ;)

HECK YEAH I'LL CALL YOU! I did go today and Hempfield Park was all locked up!!! So, we went to Lynch Field. The kids rode bikes and played and I walked for 3.5 miles. Average pace of just over 16min/mile. W00t! Get your shoes ready sister!!!

Eeeeek. I would have to ride a scooter and push with my good foot. I don't think I could keep up with you even in my dreams!
