40 days - Day 6

I completely forgot about writing last night. When I finished work, we helped a friend who was having car trouble and after I exercised (20 minutes of hills on the treadmill and then a 20 minute DVD weights workout), I went to bed! Yesterday was a good day - drank the water and didn't eat the forbidden foods! Today... well... today was going well until Earth Hour tonight. Steve brought out the veggie chips (yum) and made tea. We played Yahtzee with the kids. Turns out it takes over an hour for 2 adults and 4 children to finish a game of Yahtzee. Rebekah won! So, I ate after 8, ate chips and didn't exercise at all. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day! Sorry, Marie! We have to pick ourselves up and keep going!
Steve and I attended a 'Couples Connection' day today at the church. It was facilitated by our lead pastor and his wife, and featured four segments of talks by Andy Stanley. It was very well done and a worthwhile way to spend the day. It was well-attended, with about 50 couples present, and the kids had a blast in the program the youth put on for them. Jonathan missed most of it, having been at a sleep over last night and then going straight to gymnastics from 12-3 this afternoon.
I purchased a device today for loading the photos from my camera onto the computer! Yay! It's a disk reader and even came with a spare Scan Disk. Unfortunately, there wasn't much of interest! Just this lovely photo of the inside of our microwave. It's actually not ours anymore. It went in the garbage after I had a fire Monday. It was scary! The instructions on popcorn warn the person providing 'adult supervision' not to 'leave the popcorn unattended.' I thought about that warning as I left it to go to the ladies' room, shall we say, and I could hear the racket from there. I rushed back to the kitchen to a spectacular show in the microwave. I opened the door, and everything stopped, but the popcorn, sadly, was not popped, or even affected in the slightest by having been in the microwave, but the microwave was done. So, we haven't had a microwave all week. I haven't missed it, quite honestly.
The only other exciting thing to mention is that tonight we booked our trip to Virginia! Last year, we went to DC, and this year our plan is to get to Williamsburg. Let the planning begin!
