Oy Vey!

Where do I begin? I'll start with good news for me! I weighed in after my first week on Weight Watchers and lost 7.8 pounds! I am quite pleased indeed!

I am however exhausted from a very early semi-spring cleaning! I started Thursday on my own and then Friday my mom came to help me out. We accomplished so much on Friday that even though we had planned on cleaning today too, we decided to go see the movie "Dreamgirls." It also helps that Scott (God bless him) decided to authorize a cleaning lady for deep cleaning. So Monday, Sonia will be here all day removing tons of dust from blinds, shutters, baseboards, tops of cabinets and furniture along with a myriad of other things. Her price is very reasonable, and assuming it works out, she will be coming every other week!

Now, while my in-laws did leave on Thursday on their trip to Ft. Hood, the relief I felt was short-lived. I found out tonight that they are not continuing on to Arkansas due to an ice storm and are, in fact, returning home tomorrow evening. I could just scream! There went all my dreams of "me time." I am currently trying to figure out how to basically pretend that I am not entirely pissed that they have come home early. I'm not sure how I will handle it but I just want to hide in my room!

The evening has ended on a pleasant note though. Scott and I decided to attend a wedding of a friend in Las Vegas on 07/07/07. Our 11th wedding anniversary is June 22nd so we will consider this our anniversary gift (we usually travel) and I made reservations for a suite at the Paris Las Vegas. After a few attempts at staying other places like Bally's and the Golden Nugget, we have decided that the Paris is the place for us. We really enjoy the hotel, the casino & the atmosphere! I am hoping to grab us a cabana by the pool for one of the days we are there. Maybe even get a couple's massage poolside :-)

AND........GO COLTS!!! Woo Hoo!! I am thrilled that my Indianapolis Colts defeated the Baltimore Ravens! We now advance to the Conference Championship game against either the Patriots or the Chargers. We'll find out tomorrow how that goes. I personally strongly dislike the Patriots and find it nearly impossible to root for them. So Go Chargers!
