Random List-ish Time!

  • The ankle is almost 100% mended.
    • Yesterday I walked almost a mile on it. Yay!
  • B and I have collectively lost 20 lbs in the last week.
    • We’re taking on a South Beach Diet lifestyle – which basically means we eat healthier. It’s paying off already, which is awesome.
    • Since we’ve started this diet, my chronic heartburn is now almost completely non-existent. Yay!
    • Except in the dishes department. Seems like the dishes are now in competition with the laundry for neediness and attention.
  • The Kong is the greatest dog toy ever invented. (I’ll upload video later to prove it.)
  • Chloe is more interested in her new food bowls and what go in them than she is in her new toy.
  • I always refer to the pet store as the “dog store” and have no idea why I do that.
  • Yesterday in the dog store, Charlie didn’t bark at a single person and only semi-growled at one lady who was trying to get him to let her pet him. This is definitely an improvement. I guess there is still hope at socializing him somewhat.
    • In similar news, he loves big dogs (especially the ladies) and appears to be indifferent to small ones.
  • Charlie seems to be getting better at not pulling when walking on a leash. My shoulder is happy about that.
  • I need my coupon crazy friends to school me in the I-only-paid-$6-for-these-400-grocieries.-Yay! Department.
  • Cherry sugar free Jell-O is my favorite.
  • Publix diet orange soft drinks are awesome and made with splenda. So is their diet root beer.
  • I know exactly what to get B and my dad for Father’s day. That’s 2 down and 2 to go…
  • I am in the market for a large, stylish and inexpensive tote bag to carry my lunch, purse and knitting to and from work.
  • The Jack in the Pulpit 3/4 Shawl and I are totally BFFs.

  • aren’t lists grand? & ps – love the bumper cars pic!

    happy healing on the ol’ anklebone.

  • Let me know if you find a bag – I need one too!

    Collectively lost 20 lbs?!? That’s like, a miracle! I hate diets though. I’d rather work out an hour every day, which makes me eat better anyway. Right now I’m craving chocolate something fierce.

  • Awesome on the weight loss!!!! I am down 7 pounds – 8 more to go before beach time in September!!!!!

  • Lori T

    Congrats in the weight loss, that is awesome. Are you in phase one of South Beach? If you really wanna be schooled in the “coupon” game, let me know. I might have an opening in my next “class”

  • Awesome on the eating lifestyle changes! I need to do something like that, but I’m a slug.

    I’m glad your ankle is getting better! Yay! Good list!

  • Stick

    I saw a great bag in O Magazine. It’s from Walmart (boo.. hiss…) but it’s only $18. It’s big and it’s canvas. O says it’s on Walmart.com. I didn’t see it there. The bag is listed on page 50 of the current issue of O Magazine (the one where she’s holding a book on the cover). The mag says it’s made by Norma Kamali for Walmart.
