So, I still haven't gotten back on my diet successfully. Once again, going to try today to stay on course. My weight has fluctuated back up a bit so I need to find that motivating force again.
On another note, took the little man to his first circus last night. What a hoot! He sat in our laps and watched everything going on. We went to Barnum and Bailey, so it wasn't like there was a dull moment. My favorite act is the tiger act. They are so beautiful. You know, I used to cry after the circus...not that I've gone in a LONG time- I think the last time I went, I was thirteen. Just like zoos, the animals in cages made me upset. The circus act has changed a bit though, its more about human strength than anything. It was a lot of fun, actually. My goodness, they have a lot of toys to sell though! I told Jeff that when we come back, I'm going to buy Gavin whatever he wants- I always wanted one of those fun toys!
Guess I ought to run to get the little man something for breakfast!

I fell off my diet over the past couple of days. I'm a little disappointed in myself, but know I've got to get over it and pick it right back up today. I don't think I planned very well last week- plus, I have a hard time saying "no" when someone asks if I want to go to lunch or not.
I'm supposed to go walking with Laney this morning, so that should help kick me back in mentally!
Yesterday, Debbie's adopted mom passed away. She has been battling so many diseases for quite some time. I haven't seen her in a long time, it's probably been close to 4 years. Still, I was a little sad for her, she was still Debbie's mom. Hopefully we'll be able to see Dad and Deb before they head to Boston next week.
Debbie said she went peacfully with a bunch of people in the room, she would have wanted it that way.
On another note, after we go walking this morning, I want to run to Borders to get a book on websites...there's so much to learn!

The Big Squeeze
Had my first mammogram. Not fun. Not hurtful either though. My doc just wanted me to get a "baseline" since there's so much cancer history in my family (grandmother, mom, dad, grandfather). Unfortunately, I had to go back yesterday because they "saw something." I wasn't too worried, the lady that did it the first time warned me that that might happen. I hadn't realized how much I'd internalized my worry until the nurse tech told me I was ok. I almost cried.
Its just amazing how your first thoughts go to- "my boobs are going to fall off" when you hear the words "we saw something" and you have to go back in.
Now, the second time, it did hurt- they have to squeeze harder so they can pinpoint the area.
Fortunately, I won't have to go back until I'm 40. Yea...4 more years!

I love Saturdays- hanging out with the little man, sleeping in a little bit...
Going to walk with a friend of mine this morning- gotta get my exercise routine down. Andy came over last night and cooked dinner with me. It was yum- stuffed chicken, sauteed spinach, eggplant parm (the lite version). Afterwards, we did a little house hunting for him.
We're going to visit Grammie this afternoon, I can't remember the last time we were there! I can't believe how long it's been. We've got to start visiting the grandparents more often. It's just easier since we know our house is somewhat child proofed. I'm still looking forward to going up for a visit though.
Tommorow will be a long day- the station is holding a singing contest, it's going to be all day- NOT looking forward to it.

Today I'm taking Gaving to get his hair cut, not his first. This is like his 10th haircut- we didn't wait the normal year for the first hair cut. He was born with a full head of hair and it grows like a weed- we just got tired of people asking us what our little girl's name is...nice.
Afterwards, I'm going to go walking with a friend of mine. Looking forward to it because I haven't walked in awhile and I'm looking forward to getting back into it.
Last night, Andy and I went to the hockey game (Thrashers vs. Sabres). We had a blast- the game was good and the conversation was too. He said most of the gang were dieting and helping each other out- I told him my plans to start on Monday. I'm real excited about it- I think this time I'm really going to stick with it!
