Benjamin (and his dad) really liked what I did to modify the Venom mask and he was particularly pleased when I lifted up the tongue to show him that I'd also put teeth underneath--something I'd said I couldn't/wouldn't do. Unfortunately yesterday he was sick. After breakfast, he came to me and said he was cold. I wrapped him up in a little coverlet and put him in our bed where he took a good nap.

A little surprised he came to me so trustingly. Most times I don't think he likes me but lately I think this has changed. He hasn't had a lot of interaction with his other gramma so maybe that's why or maybe we're both growing up?! Anyway, it was fun to modify the mask to his satisfaction. Something I wouldn't have been capable of doing two years ago.

Started a weight loss spreadsheet today and bought lots of fresh fruits and veggies yesterday. Ate the last of the milk chocolate last night and hope to go on a good, healthy kick. My waist and hip measurements surprised me--not pleasantly--and with Denise as a good inspiration, hope to make some major improvements. I think this blog will help me as well.

Wish the temps would moderate here! Still see a 90 looming later this week and the rest is in the 80s! Temps at night don't go much below 70--sometimes low 60s. Hard to get into Fall preps with that going on.

Sundays are good days to play catch-up! Hope to finish Hannah's costume today, do some menu planning, and begin The Big Clean-Up! Want to stay active and busy. Tomorrow is a new day to begin a healthier life style!

Peace!

P.S. Doggie Claire and her owner Anna took 2nd place in the costume contest at the Brazo's Animal Shelter yesterday. Claire was dressed in her "bun" costume and Anna's Mom dressed her up as a mustard bottle! Linda (the Mom) took pictures which we'll see tomorrow! Cool!
