- 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!!!!!
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!
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.
