70 Degrees and Counting

Today the temperature outside is expected to get to above 70 degrees. It finally feels a little like spring. With the beautiful weather comes the outside chores that HAVE to get done if we don't want our house to look like... trash...

So we've planted some blueberry bushes recently purchased, mowed the backyard, installed a door stop on the shop door, and watered our seedling plants. This year we will have  tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins, bell and hot peppers, butternut squash, and yellow squash. We've already got our peas in the ground. Good thing we have a large garden space at our new house.

Today was also my 8th weigh in with Weight Watchers. I'm down a total of 9.6 lbs since March 9th, and exceeded my 5% goal weight. I have to admit it feels pretty good to be making such progress. I look forward to next week when I should achieve 10 lbs overall loss. Bring on the beautiful weather and healthy living!

The Beginnings of... Something?

So I have been pondering lately this idea of writing my activities, thoughts, triumphs, failures, and such in a place where people who like me (or don't) can read about said musings. And so today, when I tried to comment on one of my favorite food blogs (skinnytaste.com) and was prompted to log-in to blogger, I figured now is as good a time as any.

I suppose initially it will be weird. I mean, who wants to read what I have to say? But I suppose every person who takes the time to write their life on the internet has those thoughts. Then again, let's be real. I'm pretty funny. And I'm smart. So who wouldn't want to read about my silly life and being.

Without further ado, I bring you... The Musings of a Mary
