Just dropping in to say hi. This week has flown by. I am supposed to be cleaning right now, but after internet banking, this just seemed like more fun. We have had a productive week in terms of school. We seem, so far, to have dodged the various diseases running amok in our town, so that's good.
Have I mentioned I'm going through Beth Moore's "Stepping Up"--a study of the Psalms of Ascent? It is wonderful. Perfectly timed for meeting my needs this season. I look forward with great anticipation to see what the Lord has 'next' for me. As the Psalmist puts it, "I love the Lord, for He heard my cries....He turned His ear to me....and I will call on Him as long as I live."
Oh, yeah....huge bummer: I actually gained a pound and a half this week. The grossest part, was that my husband, "mister no-cardio, mixed nuts guy" simultaneously hit his inevitable plateau, and could not cover for me, so we actually had to report a gain. Huge bummer! But only temporarily. The hormonal challenges I was dealing with at precisely the time of the weigh-in will not interfere again for another month. So I'll try to get another running start and make sure Philip is poised to compensate that week. I've almost re-lost the pound and a half, and could lose some more over the weekend...we'll see. I feel great. People say I look great. I think I even smell great (except after my walks....Ardyn said I smelled like a boy).
My oldest younger brother is coming for a visit next week from Washington. I look forward to spending time with multiple brothers. That's always fun.
I seriously need to go clean my house. Come by tomorrow, it'll be spick'n'span & lemony-fresh. By Sunday, you'll be takin' yer chances again....that's just how things go around here!
Enjoy your weekend!
