three tenths and a new stove

That's all I got for ya this week, just a measly 3/10 of a pound.

Almost 2 months in to the process and down 10.6 pounds. I'd hoped it would be faster. But I'm not going to complain .. I haven't been a very good weight watcher. I've made some alarming mistakes on my tracker and I have been eating out a lot -- Chinese, Mongolian BBQ, Subway, Sweet Tomatoes, Taco Bell. Heck I started off last Wednesday (the beginning of my WW week) by consuming almost half my flex points in one day. So I'll take the 3/10 down. Better than 3/10 up, right? The twin set I'm wearing isn't stretched across my chest like a porn star, so that's a bonus. Last time I wore it it didn't ... quite ... fit.

On other fronts, does anyone want to renovate my kitchen? For free? I daydream about a lot of things and some do come true, some do not. I daydreamed about new houses for a long time -- now I've downgraded my daydreams to new cabinet fronts, appliances, a sink, new tile backsplash and a countertop. We have one of the world's oldest kitchens. OK, maybe not the world, but it's pretty aged. It's all original, from 1961. Except the floor, that's circa 1981. I've got appliances older than me.

I never thought stoves could be sexy, but someone just utter the words continuous grate, self cleaning oven, sealed burners, over the range microwave and man, I'm totally hot. But we have to do the taxes first which means a whole bunch of headache. And then we have to buy the appliances and the sink and stash them somewhere in our tiny little crackerbox. And figure out how to pay for it all. And then have a big mess, for like, a week. So the process just feels too big, too scary, too unwieldy.

Ah, new things to worry about. How I do love a problem to solve.
