Great 20MAS this am...

Set the alarm for 5:30, so I could concentrate without hubby and kids asking where this was and where that was, and it worked out great. Very tired and it's only 3:30, need to eat a bit more and regain some of that energy.... have been out to dinner parties the last 2 nights, and am thankful that I was able to opt out of going out this evening.... time for a relaxing night, good homecooked meal, fire in the fireplace and falling asleep... after WestWing.

Tried on a pair of 16 LLBean jeans this am, they were VERY tight, but I did button them up. 2 weeks ago it was not possible, :Party. I'll take all the positive reinforcement I can along this road.
