No Post Tuesday

 Day # 1of my smile. It will take a few weeks for the full effect, but right now it looks pretty good. Not perfect, but good and a lot better than it was. Frown lines more puffed out. 

Day # 15/week #3 start weight loss. I would have liked to lose more weight although, 4 pounds is good. Better than gaining and nothing at all. I do have to limit the calories more to lose more weight. Even if I only lose 8 pounds per month after 4 months that's 32 pounds so down to 168. Which looks a lot better than where I'm at! In 3 weeks I'll have max smile results and be down more weight and on a higher dosage to do that. 

Today: 

Clean 2

look trucks

 Call for insurance quote on new 26

Read email on Truck 14 title info 

2 quotes

Make dr apt for eye lids. I hope I qualify for the surgery. I'd like better looking eye lids and before summer to have recovery time. March would be the perfect time. 

Now I need to color my hair! cut it and style. 

My bank account reserves are taking a hit. 

725 cash

l= 325

pt = 1671

s=421

+690 = 3832

If we do the truck this week - 1400

= 2532 (-146) = 2386 + 800 next week 3186 (-600 (insurance and pp loan) bills = 2586 total in account. Still okay. 

not enough for 1 mo of mort. 

150 150 650 = 950 total extra. March.

Crepe Day, Feb 2nd

 Claudette made 100+ crepes for dinner last night. We had all kind of toppings from jams, whipped cream, nutella, peanut butter, bacon and fruit. So delicious! 



Painting.. Updating..

 We painted the spare room, changed out curtains, bedspread, blinds and headboard. What a difference new colors make!

In-progress and the full finished room reveal to come



Just like that....

Steve had a rough morning on his way to work.  A guy going 60mph crashed into him and ran a red light. Good thing he was fine, but his truck is not.  


It was a 2014 chevy Silverado extended cab, in bright red. We went to the tow lot and cleaned out all his tools after picking up a brand new white truck as a loaner until we figure out what comes next and get info back from insurance. I'm sure its not fixable. We are just happy Steve wasn't hurt at all in the accident and the guy who hit him, was fine too, but might be on something or drunk. The police came and helped out with all. It was quite a day!

 We wanted to check out this years snow sculptures in Stillwater. It finally warmed up enough 20 to go look at them. 


After, we went to dinner at that BBQ place in Wisconsin across from town and shared the prime rib.

Labor Day and Birthday Weekend!/Old post never published!

 The last of summer... Spent my birthday weekend with Family at the lake! 

We had all 4 tents set up on the beach! 

Blue skies and sun! One last boat trip around the lake on Monday before packing up to end the weekend. 




















Started off on Thursday with a little rain. It was just me and Zoey at the lake until Steve came up Friday morning and the kids late Friday night. Kendra and Family joined us on Saturday-Sunday. 

Zoey's only weekend at the lake. She was so good off leash. The first day she ran up and down the hill, but after that she was so tired and just laid around.
