I had a very successful week, in regards to losing weight.  And it's about damn time.  I spose I owe it all to Greg, for dragging my ass all over The American Royal on Monday.  But he doesn't get all the credit.  I'm getting really good at choosing the right foods and not overeating.  Now all I have to do is learn to like it so I want to eat this way all the time.  And start exercising regularly.  

Mom called me today and asked if I would drive her to Emporia.  Her friend has been in the hospital for a few days, and she wanted to visit.  I went to her house, and we headed out in her car.  We drove about 5 miles and her check engine light came on.  When ever my CE light comes on and I bring it to Greg's attention, he threatens to cover it up with a piece of tape.  So probably, we could have ignored it just for today, but Mom didn't want to take the chance.  So we turned around and switched to my Durango.  When we got to Emporia we went to 2 grocery stores looking for flowers, and wound up having to get them at Wally.  Then to the hospital where they told us June went home today.  Hmmpph.  No really, Mom was happy to hear she got to go home.  So back to Walmart we went, where I picked up some groceries and 2 new non-stick skillets.  And guess who's making 100 calorie snacks now?  HOSTESS!  You get 3 little teeny tiny cupcakes for 100 calories.  Which may not sound like much, but when you're trying to lose weight, they are manna from heaven.  

We stopped at Subway on the way home and got sammys to go, then stopped by June's house to give the flowers to her.  She lives right across the street from Pat and Kenda, so while Mom and June visited, I went to their house.  Erin was there, talking homeowner's insurance with Kenda.  Their closing date got moved up to March 23 - that's only 3 weeks!  

When we got home, Mom apologized to me for wasting my time by driving her to Emporia today.  I told her any day that we get to spend together is never a waste.
