Ohhhh CC, nothing like a good salon facial! Sounds like you had an extra special one. To DD try a basic salon facial at a good place that knows what they are doing. So relaxing and refreshing. You will love it. ds

203. - Boooo, but yesterday I was up to 202.8 and so I threw caution to the wind and ate like crap. My rebellious side took over. IF the scale is going up, I might as well eat like it should... type of thinking took over. I didn't eat a lot, but my choices were high sugar and I drank about 12 oz of water for the entire day. The rest was coffee... Not a good intake day for the scale, but I got some eating disorder behavior done and out of the way. At least, I'm aware...
Mostly grooming today. It is another gray day. Blech.... I'm sitting next to the tree, which is cheerful. 
A couple of years hosting, and your DD may welcome the offer to celebrate in Florida : )
One month! Yay! It will come quickly.

We met this couple when we were here in mid August for a week. They had just moved here in June. We invited them to join our bocce team and have done some golfing with them. It is definitely easier to make friends in Florida where we are all transplants than it is up north.
I'm with you on hosting Christmas in Florida. We tried to float the idea for this year including doing it at some point other than on Christmas itself. DS was ready but DD was insistent on hosting at her home this year. We may try for it again next year. We probably would have gone home just for 2-3 days before Christmas to see DH's kids and my SILs, then hosted my kids for up to a week down here at a convenient time for them. Traveling with the dog, freezing out on Cape Cod, and staying 3 out of 13 nights in hotels doesn't thrill us. But the actual celebrations and visits with family and friends will be enjoyable so I am trying not to be a grinch about it.
I'm glad you found a church you are comfortable with. Between meeting people there and in your new community I bet you will have close friends in no time.

So cold! -13 this morning and that's not the windchill. The temperature should be going up all day, and tomorrow should be in the 20s which is closer to average.
I'm getting ready to leave for an afternoon pops Christmas concert at the Minnesota Orchestra. When the concert is done, we will drive the 2 hours to Duluth to spend the night. Yes, we are going even further north in this bitter cold. It's actually not any colder up there than it is in the Twin Cities today. We tour a historic mansion tomorrow, and then make an attempt to go to a walk through light display on the harbor. I'm bringing warm clothes : )
The cookie factory is finally closed, and the kitchen returned to it's normal state. Next week I have 2 online doctor appointments, a visit to my parent's house, and lunch with my sister in law and DH. I started the Christmas Stocking for the lovely girlfriend. I think it will be pretty when I'm done quilting.
Vikings game at 6pm. I'm not sure we will be all the way to Duluth by then, so DH might miss a bit of the game. No doubt we will listen to pregame stuff on the way there.
One month from today, we will be in Brazil. I can hardly believe it is actually happening!
If my parents wanted to move the Christmas celebrations to Florida when they had a house there, I would have loved it!
121 even! Up .8 in a day! Still good though!
Went to the early service at church this morning. More people than last week. We talked with the pastor a bit beforehand and he told us weekly attendance is mid 300's between the two services including the kids program. A smaller church from what we have been attending but maybe easier to connect with people. I think we will continue here unless God knocks us over our heads to go somewhere else.
Cloudy with a chance of rain today. Not sure what we will do. Perhaps use the gift certificate for Bonefish grill we got at the gift exchange on Friday. Seafood is always welcome!
Dinner with your neighbor friends sounds fun Liz! Hope we find those kind of friendships here. Everyone we have met has been friendly.
Bitter cold back in WI. Honestly not looking forward to the trip back except for seeing the kids. We've already discussed not going back next year. If we're going to spend the money on travel and renting an Air Bnb that houses us all, we would rather do it in the summer when we can enjoy time and activities outside with the kids. They can come visit us in FL if they want to spend the Holidays with Mom and Dad. Would be happy to host!
