If at first you don't succeed...

Try, try again.
~1840 T. H. Palmer Teacher's Manual 223

Or in my case, try, try, try, try, try again.
That's right folks, I am going to give it the
old college try, try try, try, try, try again
and go to Weight Watchers... again!

I think I need the aspect of competition
to motivate me.  That's when I was so successful.
This time, my cousin is going to join up
(although she needs barely an ounce to lose)
and we'll post our progress weekly.

I need to get more activity into my days...
yes, I am doing Zumba and yes, I have
started to go for walks again but they are
not consistent.

I need to start making better choices when
deciding on what I will put into my mouth...

I need to start taking better care of me and
my health.  I need to become very self-centered
and focus on me and forget all the others
around me.  (This and right choices are the hardest
part of this for me.)

Wish me luck, luck, luck, luck, luck, luck as I
begin the journey to a better me...

Monday's Zumba
Tuesday's WW
Wednesday's ???

PS. (It would be helpful if the kitchen was done too!)

Progress is being made in the kitchen

Despite the flooring being on backorder!

Ugh, will this EVER get done?

Seen any good studs lately?

How's this for cover up?

A little color and a few cabinets!

Yeah...a hood, a hood, finally a hood

 (with blower to boot!)

Smile pretty for you close up dear hood!

BB, Yup, That's Me

That's right... BB, that's me.

I've been a Bad Blogger...

but I hope to get Better soon.

Thanks for hanging in there.

So what have you been up to lately?

Still not done...

but getting closer! YAY!

The cabinets arrived.

 

And now there's tons of boxes inside!

 

Then the appliances arrived 

and now there's tons and tons of boxes inside!

 

And the lighting and wallpaper arrived...

 

 

And the paint arrived and was placed on the walls, 

Heck even a few of the cabinets along the wall got hung...

But we're still not done...

I can't wait for this project to be completed

so I can finally enjoy a kitchen that can

be considered the heart of the home.

Where family and friends can gather 

in comfort and linger on and visit!

Coffee's on... ya gonna grab a mug and join in?

80 Years Young, Happy Birthday Mom!

I am so excited and happy to be able to celebrate

my Mom's 80th Birthday tonight.

I've gathered my sister and brothers together to

join me and Mom to celebrate.  One brother,

due to prior commitments, won't be able to make

it.

My 'Bride-to-be' daughter lives at Mom's most 

of the time so Mom asked her to join and being the 

Diplomat that I am, I asked my other daughter to 

join us for the celebration!

Heading out to a nice, old, traditional family 

restaurant in the County Seat.  There's something

about the place the brings history to your meal.

What better place to celebrate Mom's 80 year history?

Happy 80th Birthday Mom!

I love you more each day!

Are you sure it's not Friday already???

My goodness!

Started out my work week with having to
extinguish a fire from Sr. Mgmt...
Had to reach out to our European counterparts
for help...
Our good friends over the pond in the UK
were able to help us...
Still more follow up to do but geez, then I was in
meetings until a short bit ago....

Are you sure it's not Friday already?
Sure feels like it to me!

So, how's your day going?
