My Baker's Dozen Weekend

1. How did we get this far into September already?
2. Little grandson Nikolas turned 1 on Friday; we missed being with him but to sing him "Happy Birthday" the next day
3. I got to talk to Billy this weekend because he's bored -- the office of first year experience didn't jam pack the weekend with activities for a change! It's good to hear his voice
4. I also got to talk to my brother -- this is the weekend for catching up!
5. I wrote down everything I ate at each meal this weekend. It's helping me stay on track and on goal!
6. We got a note from Taylor! Gosh, we miss the grandkids!
7. The girls went over to Gram's to help her with a yard sale. I am so glad they have each other. My mom lives in MD and Grandma Alberta lives in PA so they were missing out on a lot of good grandparenting. Now they have Gram
8. My sleep schedule is still wacky from the medication...but I haven't taken any percocet since last night. Maybe I'll get back on a normal schedule this week!
9. I am so glad the New Orleans Saints won their football game yesterday. We needed some good news for New Orleans!
10. Thank God things are finally improving for the victims of Hurricane Katrina
11. I noticed that -- in addition to the 12 lbs the doctor took off me -- I've lost another 3 lbs!
12. I realized that although I'm still fluffy, I look and feel much better now and it'll be that much easier to attack the weight!
