Sorry.... I don't follow sports at all and it took me a minute to even realize you meant basketball when you said NBA.... I was thinking of baseball.
HUGE congratulations!!!! I know that under-employment has been a struggle for you.... I cannot imagine how excited you must be! In your desired field, full time, and a full benefits package.... I'm so happy for you!! And congrats on the scrubs still fitting comfortably!

Morning all! I've got another hour of chat left to do here and then I can start the "real" work.... house work! The three BIGGEST things I have to do today are cleaning the garage (nothing crazy thorough, just putting away tools and junk and sweeping), cleaning the home office (mostly DH's junk that will go into boxes for him to sort later) and grocery shopping for the party (I will drag DS along to help). Other than that it is a lot of smaller tasks (washing windows, dusting, vacuuming, food prep).
Fitbit is charged, so hopefully today I will see an accurate (and satisfying) step count. I will confess right here that the daily goal of 10 squats and plank haven't been happening the last few days.... I've been so crazy busy I completely forgot. And I am foregoing my "intentional" walking/steps for cleaning.
And I finally figured out what to do for centerpieces for the party! I used a large old-fashioned mason jar (the kind with the glass lid and wire bail) and put a white candle inside and surrounded the candle with
Lego bricks! I am delighted with how they came out! We had the candle idea, but had NO idea what to use as a filler.... we talked about using computer keyboard keys (but I couldn't get enough that quickly) or nuts and bolts (too expensive!!), but I just couldn't come up with anything that related to DS and his future as a robotics engineer or related to the party theme (pizza). Somehow using Lego bricks popped into my head last night! Since he got his start in robotics with the FIRST Lego League, it seemed appropriate. Plus the party theme is red and blue (high school colors), so the Lego colors are perfect! And believe me, we have NO shortage of Lego bricks here!
I am just about 75 days away from my California trip and the scale has FINALLY been going down again ...........I'm counting on those two facts to help keep me on track when surrounded by hot pizza dip, pizza, and dessert pizzas this weekend! I'm trying to figure out how to make a few smaller light WW pizza for myself, DD, and a few other WW members in the family but keep it fairly discrete.
I'm going to dash to get a cup of coffee between calls.... can't wait for that first cup of the day!................P
