Today I had all the windows in the house open....because sadly, our central air passed away two days ago. (In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted for the new $4100 unit!!!!) It's been really warm here lately, although today was rather cool. So cool in fact, that I was cold and went outside to sit in the sun for a second, whilst letting the dog out. Yes, that was the plan. Unfortunately, I fell asleep. And now the top of my chest and my hands (I had a light sweater and jeans on) are a lovely shade of red. I tell ya, I can't win for losing.
Speaking of losing....three weeks since I've started and 18 lbs. are GONE!!!! I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scale. I mean, I was floored! I knew I had lost some, being that my "new" jeans won't stay up anymore....but wow. I'm thrilled beyond belief....and determined to keep it up. Which is why I'm gonna need that air conditioning....after walking in 80+ degree weather, you really need to come home to a cool house.
We got two estimates today....$4100 and $4500....and we have one other guy coming out Tuesday. I knew we were going to have to have this done this year. We nursed it through last season....but, unfortunately, old age took it's toll and the old sundial is no more. We are getting a trane....woowoo! LOL....the guy did say it will be much easier on our electric bill....and who am I to turn down a cool house and cool cash?
Wee one had her field trip to the middle school yesterday. She was thrilled with it. She said it was "awesome". I, however, did not attend. Why? Because she asked me not to! Man, not even out of elementary and she doesn't need me! So instead, I watched my girlfriend's three year old. What a little nut! We had a great time. I just can't believe wee one is growing up so fast. Where have the years gone?
Thursday night I've got an orientation meeting at the middle school and Friday is the 5th grade "play day". That pretty much means I'll be standing around watching the class run and play all day. The kids love it though.
Okay, I'm gonna get to these bills that I've been putting off. Yes sir....I'm gonna get riiiiiight on em. Yup. Hereeeeeeee I go....

Congratulations on the weight loss!!! That's great! Are you dieting along with walking? I have been dieting (or I changed my eating habits for the good I should say) since March 28th. I swear, I don't feel like I have lost anything... I don't weigh because I'm scared I will get discouraged. I also stopped drinking Mt. Dew. Which is a huge accomplishment for me. I drink NO soda at all now. You would think that alone would make me loose weight though. I guess I should add a daily walk to it. I know that would definately help.
Too bad about your AC... We have had our Trane for almost 5 years now. I love it! You just can't stop a trane. LOL...

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your a/c, but congrats on the weight loss! :)http://journals.aol.co.uk/salonrose123/thisgirlslife/
Ahhh, you will feel such relief when you get that new system in! Bet you will be too cold and will be able to keep it much lower than the other one was set on (or is it higher? I have no clue, I don't have central air!). Sorry about the sunburn. We had snow yesterday, so the idea of you getting a sunburn made me giggle. LOL! Middle School orientation! UGGGHHHH, the seperation begins. Sigh.
Hugs and love,
Lisa
(((Hugs))) Sherry on your weight loss ~ WELL DONE !!! Sorry to hear about your dearly departed a/c ~ only wish we had need for it over here LOL Was shocked at how expensive it is though ;0) Love the sunburn graphic ~ hope you're not too sore. Have you got any aloe vera ?? that's very good for sunburn. Glad wee one enjoyed her school trip ~ sadly I haven't been needed on one for ages ~ they grow up so fast it's scary !! Hope the meeting goes ok and I'm sure the play day will be brilliant ~ what a good idea !! I, too, have bills to sort out ~ will get round to it eventually I suppose LOL
take care, big hugs n love ~x Debbie x~
PS will be putting pics of purchases on tonight ~ just for you ~x~

Our ac unit has quit too. And it's in the high 80's here.
How far do you walk? Are you doing anything other than walking? Are you speed walking? Great job on the weight loss. Wow.
Very sorry about the A/C. I hope that guy gets the new unit to you quickly. I'm just thankful this is happening now and not in the middle of July. Oh and Sherry, CONGRATS and WOOHOO and WAY TO GO on the 18 lbs. Now please pleez, I beg you to tell me the exact diet and exercise plan but will settle for just point me in the right direction. Lol. I have got to drop some pounds because I've gained about 35 and have nothing to wear. Only I'm serious...nothing fits right. I've been walking now everyday for two weeks but I think I've only lost about 1/2 inch. I don't think I've lost any pounds yet. Maybe a pound or two. I know it's working but I'm hoping it will start working faster. How many minutes a day do you think I need to walk to lose about 20 lbs fast. I wouldn't be caught dead in my swimsuit this year. Lol. Yep, it's that bad. This afternoon when I pass out flyers for hubby's new landscape company I will sweat off a half a pound I hope. Then during nap time I think I'll sweat off the salad I had for lunch if I turn off fan and a/c . LOL. Hugs,
Lisa

Thank you for stopping by to visit! Could you tell from the link in mine to yours that I'm a big fan of your journal?! Hope to see you again soon. :)http://journals.aol.co.uk/salonrose123/thisgirlslife/
I really feel for you on the AC. Our unit went out last year in JULY! I hate being hot! It was the worst few days ever and after the install apparently something was still broken so we went almost 2 weeks without AC!
Great job on the 18LBS!!!!
Gillie
Wow!! 18 pounds already! That's excellent! And here I thought I was doing well (at least until the 3 pound gain this week ::sigh::). You have me beat big time and I'm into my 5th week already!
Middle school already?! Nooooo! It's too soon! Wee one will not be wee much longer -- they grow up way too fast :-(
Have a great weekend!
You poor thing! So sorry about the air conditioner, too. Glad it hasn't been too hot. I'd hate to be without my air for very long.
