Two nights ago, in a fit of stress and industry, I sat down and actually created an Excel spreadsheet to plan out everything I need to do before I leave on Saturday. It was a beautiful plan, lovely to behold. It involved near-military levels of precision.

It’s gone out the window, of course. I’ve decided that all I have to get done are the bare essentials. I’m not going to have a better time if I’m exhausted but with a clean house. So, instead, I’m watching Glee on the TiVo while doing laundry, and will eventually put away the rest of my clean clothes.

So, in other news – we got a package yesterday. It was a gift basket from my mom’s cousin – totally gorgeous and totally unexpected. Here’s a picture I took of it:

Mom's gift basket - I am under instructions to make her breakfast in bed with it.

I weighed in at WW last night – was down 0.6 lbs, which is better than nothing. I think the Chinese food I ate at lunch kind of killed that, haha. My Regional Coordinator came in to go over business plans, which means we automatically order out, and it’s never going to be anything healthy. I’m going to keep plugging, though.

I finished the next book in the Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Hart Lovelace. It’s the 61st book I’ve read this year! I’m hoping to get to 75 before New Year’s. I can’t believe I’ve never read these books before – they are great! I’m probably going to re-read Twilight and New Moon in preparation for seeing the movie. As planned, I’ll be going to see it with Rachel and Jim. It’s so funny – Jim watched Twilight with us this spring on a whim, and now he might be the most excited out of the 3 of us to see New Moon! Such is the power of sparkly-pires, I guess.
