Post # 3 ... why not?!?!

Tucked into my bed ... computer on lap ... book waiting by my side ... dog already asleep.  It's a good night.

Tomorrow (FINALLY) looks to be a cool weather day.  The first "cool" front this week was a bust - still hot and humid.  Weatherman assured us today that this front would actually happen.  Hmmmm... fool me once ...

My unexpected HAPPY today came from Starbucks (as it often does lol).  They ran out of venti cups, so my americano came in a trenta size.  Oh, the coffee pleasure!

Tomorrow is weightlifting day.  Can't wait.  I plan to use some heavier weights and see where that gets me.  (I hope the baby duck comes too!)

I changed my hair appointment to a new stylist to keep my schedule on track for pictures and holidays.  It means I have to wait an extra 10 days, but better than going too early.  And I can keep my feathers in ... I hope they stay put.  I love them!

I made my new recipe today.  Shrimp scampi and citrus riced cauliflower.  Easy, good.  Maybe needed some other flavor punch, but overall I liked it.  Not delicious enough to make for company though.  On to the next find next week.

Baking went well.  Somedays the baking gods love me.  Today was one of those days.  Froze most of it to take on our road trip (left some out for hubby tomorrow).  Only a brief "wish" for a lick of batter.  It's been enough lately to just enjoy the smell of baked goods without needing to eat them (and then feel crappy).  Won't this be awesome if it lasts?!?  I enjoy the smell (savor it - deep breaths in) and then picture how crappy it would feel to eat it.  Strange, but it's working.

I shopped a little today (told you I had the bug).  I needed black ankle boots (ended up with 2 pair).  I'm actually not a big shoe person (hubby would disagree, but he's a guy and has no clue what most women buy).  I go for basic and comfortable - ALWAYS - kind of boring.  But nothing gets me grumpy like a tight pair of pants or uncomfortable shoes.  I think it's the nurse in me.  Both pairs are great and I'll keep them forever.  I also got a house gift for the friends we are staying with later in the month.  Shopping success.

Time to hit my book.  I'm a little over halfway - enjoying it a lot more now.  It's a dark subject before bed though.  I really want to finish it since the W30 book will be waiting for me when we get home.  I want to start it right away.  Sometimes if I "leave" a book too long, I lose interest ... so must make myself finish this one before I start another.

Nite-nite.
