Terrific Tuesday

Time for some more "terrificness"! 

First up, my WW weigh in.  Yup, still feeling pretty terrific about those weigh ins, even 16 weeks later.  Know why?  I was down .6 pounds today.  Even though I went from losing whole pounds to fractions of poiunds I'm still okay with it.  Know why?  It's better than gaining.  Want to know another reason why?  Todays .6 pounds put me only 1.8 pounds away from my goal.  As a returning lifetime member, I didn't have to pay my weekly fee today!  Hopefully, I will never have to pay it again!  Know what the sweet lady weighing me said?  That I was the first person she met that was a returning lifetime member and actually got back to her goal.  Then they all did a little happy dance behind the desk.  What a way to start my day!!! 

For all of you out there trying to tame the battle of the bulge...keep with it.  Rember slow and steady wins the race and even those fractions of pounds add up to whole pounds before you know it!

Some other terrific news...

My friend called at the last minute today and asked me to bring my daughter over for a playdate after lunch.  So, I'm sitting here typing this in total peace.  The only noise in the house is my fingers clicking away on the keyboard.

I was chosen to be a Superoo over at the travel site Trekaroo.  If you haven't taken the time to check this site out, please do.  It is full of places that have been reviewed by parents traveling with kids.  Whether you are looking for a way to fill an afternoon around town or venture to another city, you can find great places!  Be sure to leave our own reviews to! 

Oh, I know what else is terrific.  The homemade ice cream I made with the kids on Sunday.  The Middle Child (who now wants to be known as Bubs), insisted on getting me an ice cream maker for Christmas.  I tried to be excited about it but was really wondering, where am I going to store this thing and how often am I actually going to use it?  Well, we gave it a test run on Sunday and all I can say is Oh. My. God.  Best ice cream I've ever tasted.  Fresh with no freezer burn, nothing but pure creamy ingredients.  Yum.

Actually, the whole weekend was pretty terrific.  It was the first weekend in a while we weren't booked solid.  In fact, Sunday was wide open...in this house to have an open weekend day is a rarity.  I had a great date night with my oldest.  We went to dinner and had great conversations and then went and browsed through the book stores in the mall.  Sunday, (after the yummy ice cream) I took the kids to see the chipmunk movie (which was great!) while my husband got to stay home and watch the Packers lose the playoff game.  (so maybe Sunday wasn't as terrific for him).

Now it's your turn!  Tell me something terrific!  It can be something that happened, a terrific tip or recipe...you name it!
