Why Be Normal?
Monday, January 18th 2010 -- Happy Martin Luther King, JR. Day!
Today is an American holiday -- so my DD is at school (she goes to a British school), but my DH is home. Soooo, what I am doing instead of eating will involve him (I'm sure)...
1) got DD up, uniform sorted (usually these are all set up for the week on her hanging shelves in wardrobe -- but I did not do this!)
2) after DD is out the door -- unloaded, reloaded dishwasher
3) folded laundry (DH helped)
4) cleaned kitchen drawer (knives & untinsels)
5) cleaned counter to left of sink
6) drank coffee, started on water, had a porridge
7) made DH a CD shake -- as he has decided to join me! I am having him do an 810 plan (I think SSing would be difficult for him)
9) checked email, minimins
10) did some arm band toning exercises
11) am getting ready to go to the cinema -- we found an 11:20 showing of "It's Complicated" in Peterbrough (so, we're going). The local show starts at 2:20 and DD gets home before we'd be back.

Yeah, they'd moved them from the dissertation centre where there is always a member of staff to the audio visual office where there is only one guy there who is always all over the place. I did try looking in a few places for him but he wasn't there. So while I was in one of the computer rooms I kept ringing his extension until I got an answer and then told him not to move while I ran down there! They're really fancy though, none of the usual tapes and stuff. It's a really small digital one which comes apart so I can plug it into my laptop and save the file. I'm hoping I don't lose it or break it, I think it's pretty expensive, and new!

Firstly minniemel, well done on having a loss this week. There were times last year when I stuck to CD 100% and lost 2lb, and a time at Lighterlife when I lost a 1lb following 100%.
Cruise sounds fantastic idea, I do hope that I will one day go on a fabulous cruise in the Carribean!
Florida trip is likely to be late September, when children back at school so its cheaper. The friend that I am taking the trip with has two holidays with her husband between Feb and July. It's not her OH type of holiday as he likes mountains, nature and safari's - Mickey Mouse dressed up as a jungle explorer wouldn't be the same!
Keeping busy watching TV but not buying off the shopping channels.

Hi BB -- I have on my facebook page photos of our trip to Disney world this past summer. My OH did not go. He has a difficult time being around more than one of family members at a time (not the best behaved people!) -- so, they are welcomed to visit us, but he does not go to them. Plus, he only does amusement parks under duress. Maybe he and your friend's husband should holiday together whilst you and your friend to Florida. LOL
Anyway, there are fantastic Disney and Cruise combo packages. If you have not already booked look into one of those. That might be just the ticket!

Hi CG -- I've never done a cruise. My DH has no interest. I think he has nixed the one I was looking at -- I'll still go and check the details. However, I ran into an old friend at the gym today and she was telling me about a different cruise that sounds like a much better "value for money". So she is going to send me the link and I will check that out.

I wonder if my interest in cruises has anything to do with a belief that the ship is crammed with free food that you can eat at anytime.
Instead of eating, I am watching TV and due to have a shower, should also get a task done for work tommorow but somehow procrastinating on that one!

One of my best holidays was Spain (Marbella) as took a day trip to Morocco and day trip to Gibraltar - also visited the Alhambra Palace - so it really felt like a few different holidays combined.
I am hungry and really should get to bed - or I won't know what on earth to do instead of eat, ha ha!
