Maybe not Every Day

I knew I wasn’t going to keep up with the whole daily thing, but here’s an update for the last few days.

Saturday evening we went to a private party at Enchanted Village/Wild Waves (an amusement/water park) put on by Alaska Airlines for their employees’ families and friends. One of our good friends works for Alaska and invited us. It was cold and rainy, but we all had fun anyway. Santa was there and there were tons of lights everywhere. It was cool.

And yesterday was Weight Watcher’s Monday. I was obviously all gung-ho last week and did really well until Friday, but then fell apart over the weekend like usual. I managed to be down 0.4, but I had been down almost 3 pounds on Thursday. Sigh. And I haven’t been diligent about tracking like I said I was going to be, although I was pretty good Monday through Thursday, and I never went to the Y a 2^nd time OR did the 7-minute workout app. I did try to go up and down the stairs a lot at work and just lots of walking and the occasional push-up or crunches, but I really need to do more. And I really need to be better about meal planning and prep. I made a bunch of freezer meals a few months ago but they are all gone now.

Anyway, one of my goals is to have a net loss 3 weeks in a row, no matter how small. If I’m successful that will be the first time since starting in July that I will have done that.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer! 5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago). It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old. I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours. Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over. We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins. I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do. They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white. It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side. I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done. We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains. We're also going to paint. I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year. I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it. It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods. So pretty.
