come walk with me

Halloween was awesome as usual.  Lots of fun activities, lots of parties, and a moderate amount of candy because I'm dieting.  Alden had a blast and I'm so excited he decided to celebrate this year!

I worked ahead (worked my ass off) and I am finished with all of my fall courses except for my finals.  I wanted to get ahead because Alden is out of school all next week and getting any programming done with him around is nearly impossible.  He's just very loud and he likes my attention and having that going on while trying to learn a programming language is not really something I've mastered.

We did our first 5K of the season last weekend.  It was a lot of fun.  My shins hurt pretty badly the next day because I'm not a walker or a runner.  I prefer strength training to cardio anyday.  I'm down 31 lbs. since I started losing weight in July.  It's been pretty steady and I'm still working hard to reach my fitness goals.  I desperately need new clothes at this point.

Alden's got a fever of unknown origin.  I'm assuming and hoping it's just a cold but who knows?  I hope he feels better in the morning because like I said he is out ALL next week and I was planning to get some deep cleaning done the next two days when he was at school.

I started my holiday cleaning today.  I cleaned out the kitchen cabinets and cleaned off the top of the fridge and stuff inside the fridge and freezer.  I also did general tidying.  I have big plans to tackle the bathroom and living room tomorrow if all goes well and the bedrooms (particularly under the beds) on Friday, after my morning workouts of course.

I really hate pretty much all foods associated with Thanksgiving so even the food doesn't draw me in like it does most people.  The fact that I'm dieting this year won't be hard.   MY favorite part of Thanksgiving is that I put up the tree & lights on Monday and then I spend each night of the week drinking wine until the lights are bit hazy and I watch all the Friends Thanksgiving episodes and laugh until my face hurts.  That's my favorite Thanksgiving tradition.

I hope this finds everyone well.  I probably won't post again before Thanksgiving so HAPPY TURKEY GENOCIDE DAY YOU BUNCH-A WEIRDOS.  Much love. Have some musics.
