sam_gamgeeHad much fun with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
libralyte and lixta over the weekend. (Even if I really only saw lixta on Thursday.)
We went to the Grange (county fair) Thursday evening and had lots of fun looking at exhibits and chatting.
Friday we ended up just hanging around their place and Regina, Nahnee, and I watched most of a Sharpe movie and the first two episodes of Band of Brothers (and now I understand their attraction to Damien Lewis.) And we ended up hanging out there that night because of a situation with one of the horses they were boarding.
Saturday, Regina and I went to Fonthill and Moravian Tile Works (in Doylestown, for those of you who know the area). Both were started by Henry C. Mercer at the beginning of last century (the house was built from 1908 to 1912 and considering the amount of work, I'm surprised it was done in only four years). But they were both really cool. Then we went to see De-Lovely - which was really good. I'm glad I got to see it.
Sunday we tried to go to New Hope to look at some of the shops, but it seemed like everybody and their brother, plus practically every biker group in the Northeast was there. So we ended up just going to the mall and wandering around there for a while.
The only downsides were a) coming home and b) coming home to find that none of the laundry had been done over the weekend, so I spend last evening doing most of it. I know that my dad should be excused because he wasn't home over the weekend either, but my brother could've taken a couple of hours of his "busy" schedule to do it. (Though, if he did, I'm sure most of the laundry would end up like the load of his laundry that he *did* do - i.e., on the floor outside the door to the laundry room. The only way I knew it was done was the dryer sheet that was mixed in with the clothing.)
Went to WW today and lost 1.8 pounds this past week (for a total of 14.2 overall for the past 4 weeks). I'm very happy about this, since I used all but five of my points over the course of this past week. (Even though last week I used all but one of my points and lost three pounds and the week before I had only used five extra points and lost 1.8 pounds. I think my metabolism is having fun with me. But I'm not gonna complain since no matter how I look at it a) I haven't gained anything back and b) I'm still losing weight.) Though, when I told my mom tonight, she started harping on the whole "you should(/have to) *only* eat your daily points" again. I swear, the next time she brings it up, I'm going to tactfully bitch her out. Seriously, if I could only eat my daily points every week and lose 7.6 pounds (which was my first week's weight loss) each week, I *so* would. But that's not gonna happen. Besides, this way I know I'm gonna be healthy and keep the weight off and I might learn some patience with myself and others in the process (as well as how to tactfully tell people off). Note to self - just keep thinking about Universal Theme Park and Los Angeles.
I have a new lj layout, so go check it out. And thanks tolunanne for helping me out with it. Now I want to go find a few new icons and possibly a new mood theme.
Final note: I want to have the male gymnasts' babies. Especially Paul Hamm's and Aleksei Nemov's.

(I'm saying that almost like a mantra as I've now regained 6.6 pounds in the last 3 weeks with no reason at all except the meds I've been taking and the total inactivity that my illness imposed on me.)
I've been a Nemov fan through several Olympics. *sigh* And Hamm is, indeed, gorgeous. . . and strong . . . and flexible . . . . . (thinking evil cradle-robbing thoughts now).
