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.

Weight in day
So this week I started writing things down again. I wanted to 'pretend' I was starting again. I still have 30 pounds to go so I wanted to keep myself on track. It worked - I was down 1.4 today. Yay!
It's been a quiet week otherwise. I missed my Thursday night workout because I worked late. I had a good meeting with my boss on Friday. I'm trying to drum up some new work these days - I do not like to be idle at work.
I finally found jeans for my little girl at Old Navy.... and picked her up a cute little jogger outfit as well. It was all on sale and I love a good deal. I had been checking out kijiji and a consignment store in town but had not been able to find any jeans that were smaller in the waist. But Old Navy came through!
Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day (above zero) so we're planning on getting out for a family walk.

A Fish Story With a Different Twist
A year and a half earlier my loving DH had given me a little goldfish for my graduation (WLU MBA). We called him Smarty Pants (Spee for short). God love him he made it through a number of traumatic events in his little life - our vacations, baby being born - where we would forget to feed him for periods of time. Poor little guy. This was supposed to be one of our initial "tests" into parenthood. Oh dear - perhaps if he could have been able to talk he would still be with us today.
So I started back to work in early November after 7.5 months of Mat leave and my husband took over the full time child rearing role for the remainder of the year. It was a BIG deal going back to work and I admit some things got put to the back burner until I made the transition. Well, poor Spee, I only just noticed his absence last week. Uncertain of how long Spee had had been gone - I asked my husband what happened him. I of course was a little embarassed to have to ask and was very worried about what the response would be and even more worried how much teasing I would take over the event. He passed away one week after I started back to work - THREE AND A HALF MONTHS later I notice. Good Lord. Where was my head.
