south beach day 8?

well... i am down 5.6 lbs. ill take it. i drink a lot of water, and eat a lot of eggs. and i miss PG. unfortunately i told everyone in my "pod" at work that i was not eating carbs or sugar for two weeks so i was unable to sneak some oatmeal past them this morning... i think one week no carbs and no sugar is ENOUGH already. only- i cant cheat at work, and i cant cheat at home... and i would feel really bad about myself if i snuck whole wheat toast while in my car in the dark... so i guess i will just stick with it.

also- we finally got some chairs for the little front room of our little house:

please ignore the surfboards, snowboard, and huge fake tree. when you move in with a lover, you have to allow their prized possessions too :)

(this is why i need a garage)...

now we have plenty of room to put scottys favorite coffee table... and one day, this will be the living room...

i also started our little frame wall that i talked about a while ago. definitely not perfect but WAY better than sad blank walls...

and this is what happens when you leave a puppy home alone with a huge box full of bones and toys. she goes for the toilet paper. duh.

the end.

south beach diet- day 2

it is 355. went with my coworkers to pitfire pizza for lunch. watched them eat burrata pizza and creamy tomato sausage pizza.

thus far today i have had:

hardboiled egg

string cheese

lettuce with chicken, pine nuts, provolone, pepprocinis and lemon balsamic dressing.

diet root beer

but night time is the hardest...

what am i craving? well, the 3 o'clock daily fresh popped popcorn that i am smelling would be nice. or the cheese bagels and birthday cake that is probably sitting on the counter downstairs.

but i will instead have a handful of almonds.

since food is making me unhappy- here are some things making me happy:

free people may catalogue:

this boy:

this idea: i could do a memphis, beverly hills, tuscon, olympia, venice, and santa monica. for all of the places my husband and i have lived. separately and together. cute.

outdoor spaces in outdoor spaces that i will never live in....

12 more days til i can have a piece of while wheat toast and a glass o wine!

rednecks, fireants and kickball

this weekend was the weekend i had been looking forward to for quite a while! stagecoach country music festival!

i had my red, white and blue:

and obviously... scott had this:

and she had too much to drink before the concert even started:

and we met up with great friends and drank "summer in a cup" @ the rv park:

and our feet looked like this:

and the next day, our little angel huntley had an allergic reaction that had her mom, aunt, and daddy rushing to the emergency room in palm desert... and turned in to hutch:

$250 later it turns out our little angel attacked some fire ants:

and i had the MOST EPIC and pathetic fall @ kickball last night. i think that the swollen knee will look great with the the other ladies st. john and chanel suits at the crohns and colitis foundations luncheon at the beverly hills hotel tomorrow. just perfect.
