Thursday Weigh-In and Other Stuff

 

A shot of our backyard. I know a lot of you hate winter, but I love winter.

  
Well I squeaked by with a 1 pound loss this week, which to tell you the truth, I was kinda disappointed about.  I mean I totally know that I should only expect to lose a pound or two a week - which is fine, but, I SHOVELED SO MUCH SNOW AND CHOPPED SO MUCH ICE THIS WEEK and I DIDN'T EAT ALL THOSE "ACTIVITY POINTS" BACK so you'd THINK for all these SORE MUSCLES I could've maybe lost one more pound??  Bah.
 
So I watched Lost last night.  Any other Lost fans out there?  We've been watching since the very beginning.  This season so far is great.  Last night's episode was really good - wish I could say more but DH didn't get a chance to watch it yet...  We are also Survivor fans and DH just IM'd me that on the TV Guide network tonight is a "Survivor Tocantins" preview at 8pm.  Lost, Survivor and The Office are pretty much the only 3 network tv shows we watch.  The Office is actually my favorite of them all.

Tomorrow the drafting takes place in our fantasy Nascar league.  I studied up on who will supposedly be good this year (no matter what the websites and magazines say, it's a crapshoot anyway in my opinion).  But I do have my favorite drivers and my own little strategies, so I'm crossing my fingers.  There were three drivers I left out all together that I didn't want at all, and I wasn't going to mention them here before the draft in case that changed what anyone else was going to do, but I don't care, I'll admit that I didn't want Jeff Gordon or either of the Busch brothers.  I don't mind Jeff Gordon THAT much but I don't want him on my team.  However the Busch brothers I cannot stand.
 
In a couple of days we are going over to my Dad's for dinner to discuss summer family vacation plans.  Yes - can you believe we all go on a family vacation together (my family, my brother's family and my Dad)?  And we live to tell about it?  And we do it again?  We have a lot of different locations "in the running" so I'm curious to see where we end up deciding to go.  Although, DH and I can pretty much find fun things to do no matter where we are, so I'm not worried.

Anyone have their summer vacation planned already?  We went to Ogunquit, Maine last year.  In fact, if you'd like a break from the winter doldrums, you can read my posts about our vacation last year and see the pics from Maine here, here and here.  Where are you planning on going this year?

The end.
