We did go to the Cowsills last night and it was a great show! It was from 6-7:30 and in our neighborhood so perfect for a Sunday night event. I was in bed at my usual very early time. We lost DH for a bit while walking within the fair on the way to the venue. There were a lot of people and commotion so I guess it distracted him. We searched for him for about 15 minutes but then he just turned up where SIL was waiting at our chairs complaining that WE lost him. Sigh... someone has to follow behind him from now on I guess in crowds. The problem is that he always sets his pace to follow now (unlike what he used to do), so if you slow down so does he. I feel like I should hold his hand like a child (which would have been difficult last night as we were carrying things).
Devon must be busy with all the puppies. I wonder if Mama to be #3 is due to deliver soon?
Praying for good news today for Ben and Paula (that you start your travels vs a battle).
Liz 5'3" HW: 219 SW: 185 GW: 125 LW: 113 Desired maintenance range: 120-123 CW: 120 (after losing 20 lb. regain)!
Headed to my for sale house in a bit, to finish packing for the movers on Wednesday. My real estate agent is anticipating an offer today. There is very little in terms of clothes and basics left in my house, so l have to pack to go home.
Weight has been stable. I am making a concerted effort to cut back on wine, which flows like water out here. Such a slippery slope potential !
Paula and Ben..sending positive thoughts for great news ! Liz...can't wait to see pictures of the new ride. Devon... time for a puppy update, please. BB, eager for an update from you too.
Protect your skinny with persistence and proactivity !

It's a new week. The pool (which has been closed for annual cleaning the last two weeks) is open again. Yea!
Lots of medical appointments this week. Hubby is meeting with a new oncologist (just an introduction, nothing bad happening) and having a glaucoma eye treatment. I'm seeing a dermatologist for the first time for "age spots" and some newly roughened skin on my right temple, which could be merely a cosmetic issue or one of those old-people cancer things. I'm being careful and exercising my new self-care skilz.
Speaking of self-care, taking care of oneself requires a lot of time and effort. No wonder we often do such **** poor job of it.
This week's theme: TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS*
* Edited to echo Paula's theme song (see below) :)

Shel ... whoops! There was a communication misfire somewhere along the line. We will be in Vancouver August 16-21 (we fly in on August 15 and fly home August 22). How does Saturday, August 19, look?
It would be so much fun to meet there!
