Whoa--Monday again already

I turned my back for just one second and it was already Monday again! Sometimes the time just flies by toooooooo fast.
.
So, let's see, what's been going on......
.
Wednesday was daughter's Girl Scouts "Bridging Ceremony". She is no longer a Brownie. She is now a Junior. There's her pic.

Thursday was a Girl Scouts pot luck. (I brought a New York Burrito since the food at the potluck consisted of chicken, scalloped potatoes, etc.)

.

Friday was grocery shopping (fun, fun, fun).

.

Saturday, son got to fly! In scouts, his troupe is doing the aviation merit badge so a pilot took them up, 3 at a time, in a 4-seat Cessna so they could actually fly. He was so excited!

.

Then, there was the Boy Scouts spaghetti feed. They sold tickets to raise money for scout camp this summer. I talked them into doing a plain tomato sauce in addition to the meat sauce; I brought a vegan creamy avocado dressing to have alongside the ranch and thousand island; and I made vegan chocolate cupcakes for the dessert table. It may not have been much, but at least people (like me) could have the choice to eat compassionately if they so wished.

.

I also did more dishes that night than I think I've ever done in my life!

.

Then yesterday, we finished planting the garden and did some work outside.

.

It is finally warm here! I am so glad that I don't have to freeze anymore! It was in the high 70's yesterday and is supposed to be in the 80's today, then back down to the 70's. Perfect weather.

.

I am getting back to eating better again today. I seem to eat more and worse on the weekends and then eat less and better during the week. I'm maintaining my weight and I feel good, though, so I think it's OK. Maybe that's just going to be my normal. I'm not yo-yo-ing or anything, I just eat different when my schedule is different. I have more cooked food and am more likely to do desserts on the weekend. I guess that's fine as long as I'm cognizant of it and don't let it get out of control.

.

Well, I'll get back to work. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Ciao for now.
