Traffic can be crazy!

So.. I have been here a couple weeks now. I am still working my way through the list of things to do. Upkeep is alot more than our tiny old apartment was. I don't so much mind, but today I had a sprise!!! visit from my mother. I am in a tank and shorts, covered in sweat, scrubbing things to get ready for a scheduled visit from my boo's pa. She did call about 5 minutes before arriving, so I raced upstairs to put on clothes and wash off.
I think maybe my mustache was still sweaty tho lols. She wasn't here too long, I would've liked a little more notice is all.
Then we went to lunch with my hubbys dad. That was nice and we hit the goodwill, because this old house needs some odds n ends ;) Found an old couch to toss downstairs, JACKPOT!
My sis moved into the guest room today, and knowing I wasn't prepared for her.. she is a brave soul indeed. She is camping out on the couch I just got as I type. Very fortuitous.
I set out the trash but no one took it up, I am not sure what that means but phone calls will be made to inquire... No one likes a stinky garage ;) Whew, what a day!

Off to read some blogs~

It's good to be back.

It was very challenging not waking up to the insightful and inspirational words of all the blogs I read. I am very thankful to be back online and able to delve back into such a great weight watchers blogging community.
I am no where near settled in yet, but I am starting to feel at home. I have even made up a huge batch of chickpea spinach almond burgers, and black bean burgers (found them thru Angie's blog, I think). Somehow cooking up a mess of food makes it feel more like home.
My stove is sorta on the fritz now that we finally got a friend to install it (had a different plug than the plug in). When the cooktop light is on, the oven light flashes. IDK what it's problem is now lol.

I am a winner!

I won the snacks give away on weight watchers chic's blog!~ I am really looking forward to trying those out. Best of all, I was able to have them sent to.. ta ta DA!... my new house!!

I have spent the last couple of days over there trimming hedges, hanging curtains, and wading through poison ivy etc. I am one pooped gal, hehe. I am about 2/3rds of the way moved in, hope to be done by the end of this week. Will post last weeks food journal here soon.

I am not a happy camper

Welp, I have done a piss poor job of keeping this up. Most likely, it's because that's also how well I am doing with my eating & exercise. I have had a Friday close date each week for as long as I can remember (since the second Friday in April). GRRRR!
Today the bank called and informed us the rate we had locked in had expired, and now its .5 higher to boot. I am full of cranky now =(
I have been in semi packed mode forever now. If i run out of a staple item, I don't replace it because I am supposed to be moving this week. lol.
Needless to say, I am not a happy camper.

I am going to post my mess of a food log so that I can look at it later this week (when it doesn't close, again).

It's probably worth noting that some things I will be eating over and over. The monkey bread for instance is six servings and boo will have nothing to do with it because splenda is involved. lol.
Also, asparagus was on sale for 1.49lb or something crazy so I got several bunches only to have boo decide to fast for a couple days...
