just some Thursday randomness

So I can't throw out there and I'm trying to loose weight and not keep folks updated, that is a main part of the accountability factor when sharing this info with the world wide web. So, to date, I've lost 3.4lbs so I have 18.2lbs to go! This process is a tad painful, I'm hungry...a lot. I know you shouldn't be hungry (necessarily) when loosing weight, I get the whole "your body holds onto the fat it has," etc.. but I do think a little pain is good for the ol' bottom line. So, its not been w/out mucho effort even thus far but it is rewarding to see the scale moving in the downward direction.

Adam's last day of class was yesterday!! Whoo hoo!! It feels like summer is just around the corner!

I'm hosting a baby shower here in less than 2 weeks. I haven't thrown a shower since I lived in Pasadena so I gotta dust off my cake plates and get my brain in gear! I love parties, and I'm doing this one with several friends so its fun to collaborate and each be assigned a job, etc.. I hope it turns out cute!

I'm doing yet another yard sale with a neighbor this weekend (this will be my third since living here!). Isn't it amazing how quickly you accumulate stuff?! Anyway, I'm going to attempt to sell Brennan's baby car seat...this is kinda a big deal. For some reason, even though I've said out loud "I'm done having babies," holding onto the car seat left room for me to change my mind in some weird way. I've been reminded that car seats get outdated after a handful of years, so really, it doesn't make sense to hold onto it. Off it goes!

So I made Ina Garten's roasted tomatoes and I thought they turned out really good! I think I overdosed on the caprese salad however, I may need a break from that. (so good, just ate too much in a short period of time!). I made the chicken satay for dinner last night and I'd recommend that! My sis said she made it too and liked it! Hooray for tasty new recipes!

Our friend Jon (we call him British Jon, he's from England) moved down the street from us, same street, just farther down. He invited us over tonight to bbq and check out his new digs! What's funny is he bought a house that Adam and I looked at when we were house hunting! Fun! Anyway, looking forward to that!

I've been told the window treatments for the tippy top should be arriving within the next few days, CANNOT WAIT! I'm a tad nervous since its a custom job, and the windows are such weird shapes, and I'm not certain how they'll look, but heres to hoping they look nice/right for the space!

Okay, that's all I got for now, gonna go make some breaky since I'm STARVING and I'm actually trying to eat breakfast these days (which I typically don't do).

Have a lovely Thursday, all!
