All Dressed Up and No Where to Go...

Welll truth be told I was not going anywhere anyway but we were going to have people in. I had planned a surprise birthday party for my hubby and Mother Nature reared her ugly head and intervened. Since the plows have not been out in hours and many people were coming from out of town, it was just not meant to be I guess. I kind of gambled all day thinking that the weather would clear up - who knew the weather forecasts would actually be right this time. I'm pretty disappointed it was sooooo hard to keep it a secret for so long. Not to mention there is all this food here now.

On a positive note, I braved the weather for my weigh in and I was down 2.8! Wahoo!! I had a good week eating wise - I still find it hard to exercise but I am trying not to stress about it. When the warmer weather hits I will be able to take the baby for walks/runs with me. Cross my fingers that should be about a month away.

I learned something this week too - it is illegal to have your registration sticker anywhere but in the upper right corner of the license plate. I received a warning for it (I grew up out East where there are no stickers) - but it happened in Hamilton which means that after I bought the sticker I had to go back to Hamilton to show them I now had it in the right spot. I get there and the officer does not even look at it but says he trusts me!!!! How very nice of you but could you have trusted me enough to let me just make the change and not make the drive back. At the end of the day, I'm glad it was easily resolved and did not cost me any money.

We'll be going through some more change in the coming week. It is my husband's last week at home and our little girl is off to daycare. Seriously, where does the year go? She went once this week and will go a few times next week before starting full time March 17. To help with the transition, I'm going to try and have some meals in the freezer so that we can come home and not have to worry. I'm also going to do what I can to get to work earlier and get home earlier. If I have something to do for work, I will do it after she goes to bed.
