Wednesday's Progress


Thursday was spent cutting all the odd corners and bits - today we're laying them down, and then the weekend is the grouting.

There's tile on my floor!

...About 1/4 of it anyway. I was sent to go dog-sitting with my dogs to my in-laws house and Donnie with his dad got about 1/4 done.

My living room floor



Today I'm helping and the dogs have been banished outside, where it's a balmy 27 degrees ! :( But they have a nice dog house and long fur coats so they should be ok.. (I hope).

So what are your plans for the weekend....?

My house is in utter chaos right now but all for the better!
Check these pictures out :P

My Kitchen


And it's Donnie's birthday today too but he seems happier to be able to work on the floor instead. We're putting down terracotta and it's going to be so much easier compared to the carpeting we had. AND easier to clean!

PS I lost 4 lbs this week! Woo hoo!

Happy Belated New Year - 2007 !!

2007. Wow.

What else can I say ? :P I just hope that I can stick to my goals this year - that's always been kind of a challenge. I've never really been much of a goal planner, and there's always that one question at job interviews - Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Well, at my last interview (which was for the job I currently have) I told the truth - I did not plan on looking anything managerial but I believe in a good work ethic, I am a hard worker, and I believe that I would get recognized for my achievements. Apparently that was good enough to land me the job. And lately I've been feeling pretty good about what I've been doing and being able to handle what I've been assigned. My year-end review comes up in 2 weeks - that will be interesting to see what happens.

One definite goal I have ( and I'm not very good at new year resolutions ) is to get back on track with my weight. And I need to do it without outside interference, like taking diet pills or stuff like that. For a while, I thought I needed a little extra 'help' too, but frankly if women who are over 200 lbs can do it without that extra 'help', I can too! I have to admit, I have been able to maintain my weight rather well. Now the next step is to take it up a notch and to start loosing. And to help with that, I signed up with WeightWatchers again. It helped 4 years ago , it can help again.
