If

If I step on the scale tomorrow and do not see a '4' in that middle number, I am going to be one pissed off mama! End of story. Two pounds better be gone. If just one is gone, won't matter. I won't, "well, it's better than not losing anything" or "it's better than gaining." Nuh-uh. I'll be pissed! ;)

Today was the kind of day that makes me SO glad I live in Texas this time of year. (Today was also the kind of not-a-cloud-in-the-sky-day that reminds me of high school football games and frito chili pies and being a junior in high school and peeling out of the school parking lot with 'One Headlight' by the Wallflowers blaring). The temperature warmed up to around 70 this afternoon and there was so much sunshine that it almost - almost - made up for the fact that it was flippin' 42 degrees when I got out of bed this morning. The boys and I were able to take our walk in the afternoon -- and I was able to make it home having NOT sweated profusely. Hello, fall! How do I love thee . . .

It's SO nice to be able to walk in the afternoons and not have to worry about running into the Home Business Nazi Nanny who keeps a family of kiddos in my neighborhood and can't take the hint that no, I do not want to sell Tahitian Nu-Nu Juice from the comforts of my own home. We see her and her stroller brigrade practically every single morning (and I generally end up turning and fleeing the other direction) but there was neither hide nor hair of her seen this afternoon. *Crosses fingers it stays that way*

'Nother IF: If I do reach my goal in the morning, this blog is getting a complete makeover! Yay! I'm currently trying to dream up cutesy tags to replace the too-boring-double-yawn ones I have going on right now. *Puts thinking cap on*
