Cleaning day

I spent the day cleaning out my scrapbook room. It was so messy I couldn't stand to sit down and try to do any scrapbooking. I spent about 4 hours and 4 trips to the garbage can. I've sorted what is still usable, that I don't want, to get rid of. Now I need to sort what I do want. I found that I have enough ribbon to circle the Earth twice! If anyone sees me looking at ribbon, please just hang me with it!

I tried to repair my washer connections today, but I will most likely have to get someone (one of my friend's husbands) over to help. I always hate to ask because I am sure I can do what ever I want to do. Although in this case I really don't want to do it. I hate plumbing! It brings back memories of replacing my kitchen sink and faucet. Now that was an experience never to be repeated!

Chelsea tried out for her school softball team today. She thinks she did pretty well, but said there were several other girls who did very well also. They post "call backs" on Monday. She has soccer practice tonight for one of her two soccer teams. I am hoping that it won't be too long before she decides that one is enough! I'm not a big fan of quitting what you start, but making this decision will be a life lesson for her, since she has a hard time letting anyone down.

I am going to try for another 3 mile run tomorrow. Hope my left hip doesn't act up again. I had a nightmare that I had to give up running and was told I'd have to walk on a treadmill for the rest of my life. AAACCCCKKKK! I'd probably just give up exercise completely and become a big, fat blob! By the way, I haven't dieted since my trip to Idaho in July, and so far haven't gained any weight. In fact, I'm down .6 lbs. Not much but I'll take it! I may decide to try Weight Watchers again after school starts.

The best so far are the 100 calorie margerita and the Morninstar Veggie Corndogs! (only 3 WW points!)
