Single Digit Skirt

It's Friiiiiiiiiiday!
It's rainy and windy and cold today, but I'm not sure I could be happier that it's Friday. I've felt like a bag of dog poo all week. Fluid in the middle ear. This equals completely plugged left ear, unrelenting sinus headache above my left eye, having to use nose spray (which I boycotted at the age of 8 when I felt it run down my throat), and having zero energy. BUT. Today my ear is only 3/4 plugged, my headache is less severe, and I've actually got some energy to burn! Plus I'm drinking a delicious Chocolate Strawberry Monster (spinach, skim milk, NesQuik, strawberries, and strawberry yogurt) and have no plans for the weekend besides watching the Blackhawks kick some butt!

On to the scale.
Last week, after eating anything and everything I could get my little paws on, I only gained 2.2 pounds. This is miraculous because I ate so much and it was right before my monthly friend came for a visit. 2.2 pounds? I'll take it. It should have been more like 7!
So this morning, after a week of no exercise but on track eats (that included so much oatmeal) I was down 5.8 pounds. Wtf??? Not complaining. But I was amazed.
I was curious what would happen if I tricked my body by stuffing it to the brim for a week and then getting back to normal. Seems to work! Perhaps next time I shouldn't go SO overboard, and maybe not for an entire week. I blame D's mom a bit. She makes the best taco dip I've ever tasted and we were at the farm. Whoops.

On to the skirt.
I bought a skirt. It's missing a digit. Where's the 1 in front of the other number? Oh, it's on the skirt that was too big for myself. *happy dance* Can't remember the last time there weren't 2 digits on my clothes. THEN I got a pair of capri's with the same missing digit! ...and a pair with it right smack before the other number. I know it all depends on the store, the particular item, etc. but it sure feels great!

As you can see, all is well on Pennie's Lane. Busy May coming up. Out of the 5 weekends, I'm out of the city for 4 of them. (I might have to get a job to be able to fill my truck with gas!!) I've got 2 fundraising walk/runs, a wedding, and May Long at the lake. Can't pass on any of them, so I guess I better suck it up. They'll all be super fun, so it will be worth the dent in the bank account. And luckily, 2 of them aren't that far away, and I'll see some great peeps in the process.

*Yawn* Energy depleting. Have a great weekend!
