Not too much going on around here. Today is Administrative Professional's day, which is what I do, so all of the people I support came into my co-workers (also administrative assistant) office, sang, and brought food in honor of us. Of course the food that they brought was Chocolate Cake Bars, Cherry Cheesecake, and Special K bars. They refused to each anything until we went through the line....so I had the smallest chocolate cake bar and special K bar I could find. I already inputted it into Spark People, and supper will be hard to get through without going over in calories, but it should work fine. And even if I do go over a bit, it won't kill me.

I weighed in again on Sunday night and I'm down a total of 11 pounds. That makes me very happy! The only bad thing is that my new pants and clothes that I just bought are getting too big. I went shopping way before I was planning on losing weight.....that makes me sad, since I love some of these clothes. I was reading a post on the message board over at Spark People about how 1 can of pop takes 12 gallons of water to get completely out of your system. I thought that was interesting. I need to see if I can find that post again and see if they ever posted the information to support that. I haven't had pop in a long time, it's been well over a month, I can't remember when we stopped drinking and buying it, but it was quite a while ago. And you know, I don't miss it. It's also nice that when we go out to eat, we don't have that extra $4+ added on the bill. So it makes it cheaper as well, if we just drink water. That's nice. Love saving me some money, lol.

Let's see, what else is new....I'm teaching a coffee filter book class at the LSS tomorrow night. I hope it goes ok. That reminds me, I gotta call Jen and see how many are signed up.

This weekend is going to be busy. Saturday we are having a new stove and refrigerator delivered. Yup, we broke down and bought one of each. Flat top stove and side by side fridge & freezer with water dispenser. Our current fridge is about 18 cubic feet and the new one is 25 or 26 cubic feet, can't remember what one! I'm looking forward to all the extra room in there since I've been buying lots of fresh veggies lately. The thing about the water dispenser on the fridge is that our current fridge doesn't have one, so we will have to figure out how to hook it up. We bought the kit and it doesn't look too complicated, but Jason wants to call a plumber in, cuz he thinks he has to do something down stairs in the basement to get the water to run up. I told Jason that Ma could come down and get it all set for us. You should have seen the look he gave me, LOL. It was priceless. I still vote for Ma to come down, cheaper that way, ya know.

This weekend Jason and I are going to go up to Mall of America on Sunday. All we are planning to hit is the Lego Store, Archiver's and IKEA. Speaking of IKEA, I gotta figure out what else I need from there, for my scrapping area. I use the little jars and such to store my ribbon and such in. There was also a really cool cutting board there that I wanted. And since I'm eating healthier, I think I'm going to get it. Sorta as a reward for me. I'm sure I will find all sorts of other treasures out there.

I've been trying to curb my scrapping spend some, and saving some money. Jason and I each get an "allowance" of $50-$100 to spend on whatever we want. I'm saving mine in hopes to get a Wishblade. So far I have $275 saved for it. It's a $450 machine without shipping. So I'm a little more than half way there. Gotta keep saving so I can get that. That means I have to stay out of Hobby Lobby this week since a ton of Scrapping stuff is 50% off. But I need to get some needles so I can sew some stuff on a LO. And fix the button on Jason's shirt. Wonder if I can get them at Target...will have to see!
