I’ve gotten sloppy with tracking my calories.  Before my work clothes get too snug, it’s Recommittment time!  I’m going to pay attention in October, including being a little more discerning about what I  choose to eat and a little less lax about exercising.

::pondering

Nothing spiritual nor deep.  I’ve been mulling over a few complicated projects that have short fuses.  I think I just about have them worked out.

Knitting still, because it calms me. I also plan to start the annual Christmas Newsletter this week, and switch out the bow and foliage gizmos on the front porch cork wreath.  It’s time to put away the summer frou frou and break out the fall pretties.

My Daily Walk
My Daily Walk – Yep.  This is the back yard of my office.  Six laps is a two mile walk. 

We participated in the hosting of a golf tournament yesterday.  DirtBike was in charge of driving me around in a golf cart all day long so I could snap pictures.  It was a very, very long day, but just amazing because the weather was absolutely beautiful.

::looking ahead

Homecoming Week!  That means football, funny dress up days at school (The Architect stepped out this morning in camo and a full beard…one of the Duck Dynasty Guys.) Facilities Committee meeting, proposals at work and My Sister’s Birthday!

Still plugging along.  Eating right most of the time, and freakishly happy about cooler weather so I can get more outdoor exercise.

Saturday was my birthday, so we traveled north to visit my family for the weekend!  It is always a blast when we get together.  We went to see Wicked, ate at our favorite restaurant, indulged in Chocolate Fudge Cake, fixed Mom and Dad’s shed roof, played with the cousins, rested and talked until we were hoarse.

Grandma and the Grands!

Grandma and the Grandkids – (top to bottom, left to right) The Architect, Princess Pea, Cricket, Cherry Ames, my Mom, DirtBike and WonderNiece.

Wicked!

Stephen Breen Dinner, Golf Tournament, Cooler Weather, Football, DirtBike creating a job for himself mowing lawns, the last piece of birthday cake.

The Tour de Cure was brief this year.  We cut our ride short – only did 15 miles – because we had to be at Gordon’s funeral.  The best part was my Husband telling all his coworkers how great our kids are with their cycling!  Made my heart zing!2013 Tour de Cure
