Weight Loss Still to Go: 2.4 lbs.

Yay! After last week’s disappointing gain, it’s so nice to see the work pay off this week. I’m half way through (4 weeks down, 4 to go) and I’m near my goal. Between Zumba, running and the elliptical, this was the week of the workout. Add to that my new second job, and eating has kind of become superfluous, you know?

You Mean Bridal Showers Don’t Always End in a Singing Parade?

My cousin Lindsey’s getting married! And this weekend was her shower at the Hudson House in Cold Spring, NY. True to form, my aunts, cousins, cousin’s fiances and cousin’s girlfriends stayed about three hours later than everyone else, sharing stories and obviously, serenading a set of twins down on the Hudson River. There was a set list, I just can’t remember what it was. And the little girls loved it. Their parents however were totally creeped out.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Chris! I hope you enjoy the percolator.

PS – I want it noted and documented that the dress I’m wearing is from ninth grade. This is what happens when things don’t get picked up from the dry cleaners and all of your other clothes are in Boston. Ninth grade!

Happy Birthday Poppy!

It’s Pop’s 84th birthday, and just because he has to spend it in Heaven doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it down here.

Share your favorite Pop memory in the comment section below. I’ll start.

I have two: the first is the time that squirrel fell on Pop’s head in Coral Springs and did the Road Runner shuffle until his bucket hat flew off. The second is the time my mom shot Pop in the chest with a vacuum. She burned off all his chest hair and the push back put a dent in the kitchen wall. Jesus Christ Jeanette!

Ok, go! Celebrate the spirit of Pop today with a cold beer and a funny story. And maybe a good bar fight or two.
