I am working away at all things CREATIVE. I have so much on my plate, way too many emails to return, working on my IU event in September. Did I mention deadlines???? Well, I am also enjoying lots of baseball too. Oh, and did I mention FUNDRAISING? Yes, McKay has to sell 50 yes 50 orders of cookie dough by Friday. I was in the car driving her and Joselyn (best friend) around for 2 hours this afternoon. I think they sold quite a few today since it was POURING rain! I think people must have felt bad for them.
So a catch up- I had my 7th week weigh in with Weigh Watchers yesterday. Okay, here I go... I am going to have to admit a few things. I have NOT cheated...not once, but I still only lost .4 lbs this week. I was a little down about such a small number. It's hard when you know your doing everything...oh wait...confession time- I have not been doing everything. I have cut way back, or almost quit drinking my water completely. There I said it! I have been lazy and not following the program as it is outlined. Maybe- wink! this is why I am not losing as much. The program works IF you follow it.
I still feel FABULOUS...because I am eating so much better. Other than my Cafe Rio salad (that I will not give up!) once a week, I am eating lots of veggies and counting my points. I heard somewhere that you should drink 1/2 your weight in water (ounces) each day? I am trying to do this. Anyone know if this is true?????
Okay, I have to share this-
This parrot is drawn and painted by

*I am so thankful to have this picture. Why? Well, he is the boy that has ALWAYS hated to draw or color. He never would color in coloring books. Anything art wise he hates. He said he is horrible at it. So for years it has been a battle to get him to draw anything. Then I saw this. It was an assignment that HE had to do. They showed the class a picture and said to recreate it- THIS is his version. I raved over it and will FRAME it.
Case it point...we all can be creative...we need to TRUST in our abilities and realize that ART is from the HEART and most of the time we are not getting grades. (this time Zach was!)
Zach, I love you...believe in yourself!~~~
Check back tomorrow for a big announcement- oh, and it is Gentry's birthday tomorrow!
