Dishes and laundry are done. My fridge is bursting with all fresh veggies and fruit. I stopped going to Weight Watchers as my motivation and budget are lacking. I did find a program online that I like where I can track my calories, carbs, protein and fat (it graphs out what I've had each day..pretty interesting....I need to increase my protein by quite a bit apparently). So....my motivation in the weight loss department isn't really lacking, it was more with the WW program. It's not been the same (for me) since they changed to the Points Plus garbage. That just never sat well with me. *Shrug* I continue to be thankful for my body that alerted me to something that was majorly wrong very early...no matter the size. :)

Big storms are headed this way and even more so on Friday (tornado talk is now being discussed for this area...happens every few years). With that being said, I always try to have everything taken care of that involves power. For whatever reason, being stuck with dirty dishes for days on end (due to lack of power/water) makes me cringe in a big way.

The annual yard sale is looming ever closer and I seem to keep seeing things around here that I no longer need or use. I wonder what the heck I was thinking when I purchased some of this stuff. Crazy. Pete and I were talking just this morning about how much our shopping habits have changed. I don't think I've been to the nearest mall in well over 2 years. I haven't bought anything at full retail (meaning I hit the thrift shops/yard sales) in a long time (unless it's groceries/toiletries/cleaning stuff). The exception might be about a month ago when I spent $150.00 on new fans for the house. They were a NEEDED and WANTED item. Even my fabric addiction has been put on hold until I use up a good portion of what I have (exception..MAJOR sale in Mifflinburg coming up and I've been saving all my change for a YEAR for this event). Perhaps some wrapping of coinage will be in my future for later this afternoon.

The county wide cancer survivor celebration is taking place in a restored theater this evening. Jeremiah and I are going. Both of us in ovarian cancer awareness garb. Jeremiah has a little white t-shirt that sports a teal awareness ribbon and says, "I Wear Teal For My Mommy."   My shirt is white and has a teal awareness ribbon and says, "Supporting Those Who Are Fighting, Admiring the Survivors and Honoring the Taken." Add multiple pins and teal bracelets and you'll have me! :)

Have a great day everybody!
