HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY RUSSELL....AND THIS LITTLE ONE IS SO CUTE!

Our eldest son, Russell, is 30 today!   That means we now have 4 kids in their 30's!  WOW.
I hope ya have a really good day Russell. ♥

I stayed up quite late last night ... I had started a mug rug that I really wanted to get finished.  It excited me because I really wanted to see how it would come out ...

ABOVE:  it doesn't look like much here does it?

ABOVE: ... but see it now!  (I still have to stitch the binding on the back).  I'm kinda cross now that I didn't do the entire thing in black cotton... so I'm going to make another one and see what a difference it will make.  I also want to add a few leaves or even a little flower, like the other ones I've made.

I want to thank everyone who has complimented me on how I am looking!  I can't thank you enough, it sure helps with the motivation.
I actually took a couple of photos of 'the bod' yesterday... and wasn't going to show them... but I think I shall:

ABOVE:  I was wearing jeans!  Not that they stayed on long... they keep sliding down and the crotch ends up half way to me knees!  But, I am starting to SEE an improvement all over.  
But the biggest 'problem area' is the chest.  I can't wait to buy new bras... but that is still a long way off.  
There hasn't been that much 'shrinkage' there yet.  Grrrrr.

I must learn to be more patient.

TODAY:  *sigh* bloody grocery shopping.

Stew is going to instal the doorguard at the top of the stairs, as he didn't get around to it last night.  RUGBY was on the telly. (rolling me eyes).

And Lacy 'n' Keera are coming over in the afternoon.

ONWARD...

Grocery shopping was really PAINFUL today.  Had to re-stock up on quite a lot of stuff, so a rather BIG $$$ total.  *sigh*

But, home now and it's all away... and Stew is about to make us a chicken sandwich for lunch.
THEN Lacy and Keera can come over for dinner.

Tonight I am making a seafood/pasta salad.  It is going to be YUM!

End of Day:  well... a rather lovely evening spent in lovely company.  Jacqui, Marty and their two children came out for the afternoon/evening.
