Have friends here from Canada (everyone get that? friends from Canada...in Texas...in mid-July...k) and we are having such fun wearing out our children! Today we hit the toad fountains and tonight we are taking them for a gut buster of a southern dinner at Babe's. I will give details of dinner tomorrow but there will most likely be banana pudding involved.

I am doing really well with my allowance and have had money left over each week.

My weight loss has plateaued but I start working with a trainer next week so I am ready to kick into a new gear.

I hate to leave you hanging with such exciting news but I have to. There are mysterious noises coming from the kitchen.
