It's been well over a month. So here's what's been happenin':
We donated Lucy to the Portland Rescue Mission.
We have are back in the habit of faithfully walking four to five nights/days (on the weekend) a week, and on average walk AT LEAST two miles. I hope to start walk/run/walking in the next week or two. Small running intervals...
I finally put stuff in our bedroom only to decide I want to get a headboard and a new dresser so I can rearrange the room...
I decided to use the new bedroom furniture as my next weight-loss goal "prize." Since we are a team the goal is for both of us. Once we have each lost another fifty pounds we will get the new bedroom furniture (Collin wants it too so it is a good motivator for us both).
There is a conspiracy out there that didn't want me to have bridge mix. Saturday night we went to Safeway and I was HARDCORE craving bridge mix. I cruised up and down the candy aisle AND the bulk food area... Nada... Oh well. We were at Rite Aid on Sunday and I decided to look there (this was one of those cravings that once set in motion must be appeased and satisfied). THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY! Bastards... Monday evening we were discussing what route we wanted to do for our walk and it came to me that we could walk to Winco (round trip is only two and a half miles) and I could see if they had any bridge mix in their bulk food area or candy aisle. As we got ready to leave Collin's bff (and our walking pal) called to see if we had gone for our walk yet and if not could he come to (he lives about five minutes away), we said sure and gave him ten minutes to get there. Fifteen minutes later I told Collin they could catch up to me, I wanted my bridge mix. They caught up about a third of the way there after I slowed down a little. Once we reached Winco I made a bee line straight to the bulk food area and it was as though the heavens had opened up and warm golden light was shining on the wondrous sight that was the bin of bridge mix. I was THRILLED. I got myself a little baggie of it, went to the checkout, and then we walked back home. I iz happy.
Last night (Tuesday) we went and got our teeth cleaned. It's great to be able to get back on track with our dental treatment. We have check-ups/new x-rays in a couple weeks so we can revise our treatment plans and get stuff done.
Collin got a new laptop this weekend. Just a nice straight forward one, nothing too insanely spectacular. He needs one for when he starts his classes in the fall and I am mean and didn't want to let him take mine.
Work is still awesome. Friday will be my six month marker. It's crazy for two reasons. One, I can't believe it's already been six months... It seems like the blink of an eye. Two, I can't believe it's only been six months.. I feel like I have been here for a lot longer, in a good way. It's nice. I know I will be okay with this job until the next big phase of our life happens. When that will be who's to say, or where it will take us...
I can't wait for the weekend! Three days that will supposedly be GORGEOUS! Oh, it will be fantastic. Even if it is raining the three day weekend will be SPECTACULAR! As of today the forecast is calling for 80s and sunshine; I can handle that.
By the way, I am done promising how often I will post. Every time I make a claim of how often I plan to post it never seems to work out that way... The titles should be interesting as my brain has become more addled and unhinged in the recent weeks... In a good way... I think I am loosening up the creative muscles for the first time in a while now...
Just for the sake of not wanting to be questioned, the title for this blog is common sense... Not something that I learned by experience. Sheesh. I'm not that kind of crazy.
Yet.
