I'm sorry, I have really neglected my blog this month. Actually, I don't know where this month went. It's the 30th already, and pretty soon Christmas will be here. So, time to catch up.
I made it through Thanksgiving without gaining anything. I'm down 10.4, but have been there for like the last 3 weeks. but I didn't gain anything through Thanksgiving. It really helps having hubby on program with me. Both daughters were home for the long weekend. #1 comes in and takes over the living room. Stress I don't need. #2 isn't so bad, but still, having an extra person in the house is a little mind boggling.
We went out shopping on Black Friday. Although, we didn't go to the midnight openings of some of the stores. Put a dent in the Christmas shopping. Now to wrap it all up and see what else we might need. I think I'm ready to send the gifts to hubby's side of the family. We draw names and "only" buy 4 presents. I think there are over 20 people on his side, and it gets a little expensive, when you are just exchanging gift cards. So, now we exchange names and our family buys a gift, which a "wish list" is posted on a blog, so we can actually get gifts, instead of just giving gift cards, which makes it more fun, at least for me. Now to figure out my side of the family. And what to get for hubby.
Well, I have a headache, so I'm thinking about going to lay down for a while. I'll try to be more regular.

Hey, It's 11/11/11
It's Veteran's Day, and therefore, there wasn't any school today. So, I got the oil changed on my car, got a flu shot, went grocery shopping, did the laundry and went to my WW meeting. And I finally lost 10 pounds. I guess following the program works, eh? Not much new from here. Getting ready for Thanksgiving, and the Christmas holidays. I'll try to post more often, but Daughter #2 is coming home next Saturday, and #1 is coming home on Wednesday. It's going to be a hectic week.

It's November. How did that happen?
It's been a few weeks, and a lot has happened. Hubby has joined WW with me. I'm tracking better than I have in years, I'm being honest with myself, and I'm up one week and down the next. Last week was up, so I'm hopeful that I'll lose this week. We bought candy for trick-or-treaters that neither of us liked. Blow pops and Airheads. Yech. But the kids seemed to appreciate it. The left overs are being sent to the daughters, so that's the end of it. We don't have a bunch of junk food in the house. So, I get frustrated when the scale doesn't show the results I would like it to.
Next up, the "lovely" nor'easter we got last weekend. We got a foot of snow dumped on us in OCTOBER. Yes, October. A freak storm, that dumped 11.5" of heavy, wet snow on most of southern NYS. We lost power for about 14 hours on Saturday night. Got power back on Sunday, but no cable, which also meant no phone or internet. Lost power again on Monday, for a few hours. When it came back on, the cable was back up. We were fortunate, some people were just getting their power back on last night (Wednesday). And parts of Connecticut won't get power back on until this weekend.
Last week, we had to put the "not-my-cat" down. She had stopped eating and drinking. So, we took her to the vet. There was a massive growth on her kidney, and there wasn't anything the vet could do. So, for the first time in 31 years, there is no furry critter in my house (that I'm aware of, of that I'm purposely taking care of). It's weird, and that also means that Hubby and I are really empty nesters. No kids, no cats, so it's been a rough week. The jury is still out on whether or not we will get another kitty.
On a happier note, I had a job interview today. It's to sub in another district. I had to wait for half an hour to see this guy. I had a headache going in, and after waiting for 30 minutes, it was really killing me. We'll see. He has to check my references, and then I have to get approved by the board, so hopefully, by next month, I can add that district to options for sub jobs.
I will try to be here a bit more often. What with the holidays coming, I will need to vent, express myself and whatnot. Happy November!
