My Happenings

:~: Outside:

Here's hoping 3rd time's the charm...I had this post almost finished late last night, 'til my bloggar program froze up & I lost everything, and I'll be darn if it didn't do it again to me today! ACK!
Why the "WOOHOO!", you ask? Just been blessed lately is all! First, let me brag a bit and say

I am so jazzed by this, I know it's small, but it's a step in the right direction! Been drinking less

and more

, taking those Green Tea Liqui-Gelcaps, and eatting less(those gelcaps really curb my appetite!). 3 customers at work this past week have mentioned they could tell I was losing weight...that's such wonderful motivation!! (If you haven't seen the F-A-T picture of me on my earlier post, GOOD!

I was feeling rather mortified that I shared it once it was uploaded & too late!

Hate to go from talking about weight-loss to talking about eatting

, but man, oh, man! I had the best food Friday night, I just have to share! My parent's are in the process of moving, yet their house hasn't sold yet, so they have TWO yards to keep mowed, and my dad's health hasn't been exactly the best lately, so Joe mowed both lawns for them this week. They tried to pay him, but he refused, and just mentioned if they'd like, they could take us out to eat some time. So Friday they took us to "El Napal", a wonderful Mexican restaurant in Adairsville. The closest I've ever come to Mexican food is Taco Bell, so I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but

this was soooooooo tasty!! The servings were HUGE, Joe & I split an order of Chicken Fajitas and still had leftovers! They came unassembled, with the chicken & veggies served on a sizzling platter, with all the fixings on the side, and lucky for me I don't like sour cream or guaccamole, so I was pretty much ok.....well, I did stuff my face with chips & salsa while waiting on dinner to arrive! *blush*

It was great, already looking forward to going back sometime next month! Then we went to my folks new home to see the hardwood floors they just had installed, then came home to watch "Ice Princess", which was really cute! (The night before, we had watched "Man of the House", with Tommy Lee Jones.....it was hilarious!! Ah, every weekend I am reminded how lucky I am to be working at a video rental store, getting those early sneek-peeks!) Last night (Saturday) I stayed up until everyone else was in bed, then watched "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves....it was the bomb!!!! I had been looking forward to that for a loooooong time! Tonight it'll be "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary"--another one I'll be watching solo, since it's too scary for the girls, and horror isn't Joe's thing!

Speaking of Joe mowing lawns, while he was doing my parent's old yard, their neighbor, whose husband passed away last year, asked if she could hire Joe to cut her yard, too....and with Joe's dad still out of commission from having had both knees replaced recently, THEIR lawn needed mowing too (in Acworth), so it was 2 yards for Joe Wednesday, and 2 yards Thursday...poor fella' he was on vacation all this week, yet stayed pretty busy! Plus, with me not being able to get any time off from work, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, since we couldn't go anywhere

K, reason #2 why I'm all smiles?? I just found out my parents aren't leaving their hot tub at the new house, yet weren't planning to take it with them either, so they asked if we were interested in getting it.

So as soon as we get the back porch re-inforced, and find someone to wire it up for us, we will be 'living large' in a 4-person hot tub!!

Yet another reason for me to get my body bathing suit ready!

Taking Camryn to get shots tomorrow morning, school will be starting in just 3 weeks and gotta get everything (and everyone) ready! The girls have been used to sleeping as late as they want, usually 'til 9 or later each morning, so it's gonna be a shock to us all to have to start getting up around 6:30....this will be the first year I've had to take both girls to school 5 days a week, and wouldn't ya' know, it'll be at two different schools, so I'm praying traffic isn't so bad that we'll wind up having to get up earlier than that!

Cam will be entering Pre-K, while Leah will be in

Alrighty then, Joe is out there sweating to death mowing

(our yard this time *LOL*), so I should carry a drink out to him, then start so dinner.
