Despite overindulgence over the weekend, I was down another 2.2 pounds when I weighed in at Weight Watchers. I had originally intended to hit the gym afterwards, but I had laundry – so I started that, opened up the treadmill, turned on last week’s ER, and did 45 minutes. Nothing breeds success like success, they say.
So we had a lovely weekend. The outdoor activities we’d thought might be fun had to be put aside because we got snow. Again. And it’s friggin’ cold out there. And we’re supposed to get more. Blech.
Well, the kids had no school today, so daughter #1 finished her science fair project, I did a bit of cleaning, daughter #2 played on the computer she built with her dad yesterday. Then we shopped. So did everyone else in Toms River, it seems.
Now it’s time to start dinner, I guess. This time of year makes me so snoozy.
One of the advantages of living where we do is that the theatres show movies all day for the senior citizens. I took the kids to see “Memoirs of a Geisha” right after school yesterday. It was beautiful, but not something I have to rush out and buy when it comes out on DVD. I did have to bring my attention back to the movie with some effort at times (Look at the pickstitching on the cuff of that kimono!) and the girls needed some things explained, but we had a really nice time together.
Tomorrow, my darling friends Gayle, Barry, and Sophie are coming to visit, so I’m cooking all kinds of Indian stuff so we can feast tomorrow and I don’t spend all day in the kitchen. The Saag Paneer is done, the Naan is rising. Potatoes are boiling for the Aloo Mataar, and I’ll start the Moghlai Chickpeas after the kids are done cleaning up the kitchen. I hope everyone’s mouths are watering right now.
